His self-improvement is the first glim-
mering ray of advancing day.
Reinforcing rays are shooting up
over the horizon whose united light
will bring on the glad dawn of real
freedom.
For instance, in 1904 the issue in the
presidential campaign was "The Ne
gro: Shall the Door of Hope BE
Closed Against Him ?" A more bitter
and strenuously contested campaign
has not been had since the war of
1861, and there was never a more de-
cisive answer given by the nation upon
any question during its history-an-
other ray above the horizon showing
the national heart to be in the right
place.
The war with Spain gave our sol
diery another opportunity to prove its
valor and worth to the United States
another ray.
The Presidents hasty action in dis
missing from the army three compa-
MES of the 25th Infantry, coupled with
his persistent disavowal of race ami
mostly, is another ray.
The Japo-San Francisco imbrogiio
is another ray lit brought the subject
of estate Rights" up for discussion)
and the threat to force a state to re-
spect a national treaty are pencilings
of political light which bid fair to
bring daylight to our longitude. The
democrats eagerly looking for an issue
in succeeding campaigns will embrace
every opportunity to fight again over
their old hobby, estate Rights" They
hope to unite with them the great
"West" against the "North" and the
east" Let US pray God that this may
be the issue in the next campaign, and
unless l am mistaken there will be
such a rent made in the mantle of our
dark night as will cause the American
Negro to turn his face toward the
East and "sit up and take notice" that
Estate Rights" has again been showed
under.
If there was no "Negro Question"
these other matters would be of little
importance. Perfect agreement be-
tween the North and South on any
question is the worst thing that can
happen to the Negro, for whatever
proposition put forth by the South or
supported by it has the fixing of the

ARGUMENTS TO-DAY ON
 WAR; TIME PROHIBITION

Washington, Nov. 19.-The supreme court will hear arguments tomorrow on the constitutionality of the war time prohibition act, involved in three appeals from federal court rulings. One from Kentucky declared the act invalid and two from New York upheld it.
 Owing to the short time elapsing be- fore constitutional prohibition becomes effective, an early opinion by the court is generally anticipated. The government asked that the hearing be advanced.
 Originally the cases would not have bee reached for at least a year.
 The Kentucky case was appealed by the government after Federal Judge Evans had restrained internal rev enue officials from interfering with the removal from bond of the Kentucky Distillers and Warehouse Company of about 70.000.0o0 gallons of whiskey valued at approximately s75,000,000.
 Judge Evans held that the act vio- lated the. fifth amendment to the fed eral constitution, prohibiting conf1s- cation of private property without just compensation.
 One New York case resulted from denial by the federal district court of an injunction to Dryfoos, Blum and Company to enable that concern to remove whiskey from bond The oth- CT was appealed by Jacob Ruppjert, a New York brewer, after the lower courts refusal to restrain internal revenue officials from interfering with l his manufacture of beer containing ! more than one-half of one per cent | alcohol.

NEW YoRK'S "DEADLlNE FOR"
 CROOKS" MOVED UPTOWN

New York, Nov. 19-New York's fla nous 'tdealline for crooks" established by the police more than a quarter of a century ago, today was moved up town from Fulton to Fifty ninth street.
 In establishing the original headline above the financial district, the police warned notorious crooks that their presence within the restricted area would be sufficient cause for their ar rest and grilling at headquarters.
 The chief reason assigned for shift ing the theoretical barrier was the in- creasing invasion of New York each year during the holiday seasons by post graduate crooks from all parts of the country who ply their art in crowded department stores. hotels and theatres, exacting heavy toll.
 With the shifting of the headline" a special squad was established having jurisdiction over theterritory bounded by Fifty-ninth and Twenty third streets Broadway and Fifth and Sixth avenues, in which most of the depart ment stores are located.
 The "deadline squad" comprises the pick of New York's "detectivedom.'

Bdtsh May Wade aIld'
 WaIIOW in Whiskey
115, GOO, 900 Gallons Released
 From War Time Restric- tionsCame as a Surprise.

London, Nov. 19.-One hundred ard fifteen million gallons of whiskey be- sides quantity of other spirits iii pond in Great Britain were releasei from wartime restrictions today and may be distributed to all corners who can persuade the dealers to sell.
 The announcement of the removal of the restrictions. which was made V ithout warning in the house of com mons by the food controller Tuesl lay. lamC ;.s a surprise to the mem ie.5, wha giee,ed it with loud cheers.
 The liquor trade was equally sur prised and was besieged by the well to do among the public as soon as the unexpected news spread. Many orders of from fifty to 8 hundred dozers were placed immediately, in addition to nu- merouS commissions for smaller quan- titles.
 Although it is figured that enough spirits has been thus freed to supply every man. woman and child in the country with 36 bottles apiece, it is doubtful if the public will find it easy at present to increase consumption to great extent The government main tains control of the maximum price, which for whiskey is ten shillings and six pence Pr bottle. and it stA not be- lieved that the dealers will sell much below that figure. as the existing high duty will remain.
 Moreover, restrictions on distillation during the war and the necessity of maturing stocks may lead the dealers to hold large quantities. On the other hand it will be possible now to sell al the American wfiskey which has reached and is still reaching England though clearance from the customs may be slow.

Washington, Nov. 19.- Senator Lodge, after adjournment tonight. de- elared "the treaty is dead so far as this senate is concerned."

 The Extreme Egyptian Nationalists have raised the banner of complete in dependence, like the Sim Fein. and Cairo messages say that the cabinet has resigned as an answer to Field Marshal Allenby statement of the British plans.
 One of the Egyptian complaints has been that Great Britain has published its intentian to maintain a protector ate. but has kept the Egyptians in the dark regarding what is means by a protectorate and how it is to be car ried on. Great Britain's action in preventing an Egyptian Nationalist delegation from going to the Paris conference to present grievances has been another cause for complaint.
 The governmet's justification be- fore the charges of neglecting Egypt has been the enormous load of other matters on it's hands.
 The Milner commission. which is to investigate the causes of unrest ir Egyp-, has not yet started, and the na tives threaten to boycott it and refuse to give any information.

 The collapse of the compromise ne.- gotiations which this morning mad promised to point a way to ratification followed another and more definite an- nouncement by President Wilson that the reservation proposed would. in his opinion. nullify the treaty's vital pur- poses.
