FAMOUS LAKE OF MENTEITH
Historic Spot h Scotland Which is Inseparabiy Connected With Un-
 fortunate Queen Mary.

The Lake of Menteith Is one of Scotland's most beautiful bits of scenery. Bordered by far-stretching marshes and shadowy slopes, with teather-covered hills rising beyond and trees bending over its curving shores, 1t Is picture to encnant even tho tourist wearied by 'doing" many Scot tish lakes.
 Out in the blue water shaded islands stand. About one of these-Inchma- -home--the interest of the lake centers. A boat hired at the village port at the head of the lake reaches the island quickly. Here one forgets the beauty of the surroundings as the guide tells the story of the visit of Mary, hapless queen of Scots.
 As tiny fve-year-old maid she was taken to the island to escape an un. desirable suitor, and here for five months she and her four Marys, her playmates, lived in childlike happiness. Queen Mary's bower, little. high walled garden cared for by the five children. stands just as she left 1t. Va rious trees are pointed out as espe- cially beloved by the little queep. Some of the giant trees that shaded the island so pleasantly were old when Queen Mary and her maids of honor played beneath their branches. There is the nuns walk arched by lofty chest nuts and sturdy oaks.
 The ruins of an old Augustine priory add another touch of beauty to the pic turesque island. Inside the church Is the grave of the founder and the quaint figure of a knight leaning on his shield graven with the emblem of the Stuart clan.

WITH The DEMOCRATS

The Crisis.

of Mr.. Ernest Mckinney, a young man
Of considerable experience in repre-
sentative capacities mt home, and with
n highly creditable record for bravery
and endurance with the expeditionary
forces in the World War.
Mr.. Mckinney expresses in a force
full way dissatisfaction with political
conditions brought about and main
tanned in a greater or less degree by
both Republicans and Democrats and
under which every red-blooded Negro
chafes and is thoroughly resentful
The meat of the article is contained
in the statement that the Negro is con-
fronted with the problem of Embark
ing on an uncharted sea with II new
candidate, or descending into hell with
the Democrats"
The first horn Of the dilemma is
scarcely stated with accuracy for the
Republican course was charted by Lin
coin, Grant and Sumner and though

course very frequently and compelled
to "shorten SAIL to avoid the southern
trades and the angry gulf stream

der skillful, capable and dutiful
commander, such as Warren G. Hard

should not reach port with her cargo

cans intact.

a new political alignment for Negroes,

minority party has the ghost of a
chance and he can expect no 1.-THE of

jor party, as is his through his Re

Contrary also to the idea of Mr.. Nc
Kinney. few Negroes hold TO the theory

must remain Republican"
This it is admitted was quite gem
orally the sentiment once, but the Ne
gro has long since cut his political
eyeteeth and is much less of senti
mental impressionist than formerly.
He is doing his own thinking now, as
Mr. Mckinney would have him and
seems to have concluded that any con-
siderable DETECTION from the highway
of Republican politics can only lead
him into bypaths which are veritable
tangle of socialistic and laboristic
theories, out of which the blue sky of
opportunity is not so much as even
indistinctly visible.
Descending into Hell with the Dem

CHEYENNE, WYO. NEWS

The society matrons are interested
in the presidential election and there
are no social functions scheduled for
the month. Since 1892 the Republican
politicians have been asleep and are
ndw family awakening to the fact that
real work is to be done. Cheyenne
has two political clubs, one officered
by women and one by men. The wom-
ans organization is controlled by in
telligent women who are trained in
methods of organization. Many wom-
EN- and men will be induced to exercise
the franchise. Some of the ladies who
are members of the Searchlight Club
are active in the campaign to register
a 100 per cent vote. The mems or
ganization is not as strong as the la
dies organization. The men lack the
training in organized work.
Why are not most of the active mem
bers of the Cheyenne Civic League of
Colored people taking an active part
in the Frederick Douglass Campaign
Club? The experience of such men
could be of much benefit to these in
experienced young men who have en-
deavored to organize in Il way be-
lieved proper to organize. Our old men
should not feel sighted because of the
fact that there was not IL published
call for mass meeting of Republican
voters at some public hall. You old
men snould get out and assist the
young men with that organized team
work and racial helpfulness, of which
you are so fond. Mr. William Ashford
is an able presiding officer, has pa
tience and in time could make the
Douglass Club a strong organization,
now if he was assisted by the old, stall
wart Republicans with political
speeches and organized training it,
would make our young men under
stand the spirit of Republicanism.
Come out next Monday evening and
help the boys make booster meeting.

MRS. DUNBAR, POETS MOTHER,
PENNiLESS
Paul Laurence Dunbar's Aged Mother
--.-- Faces Poverty Unless Club
Women Act

Dayton, Ohio, Oct. with want
and poverty apparent in a little two
story frame cottage at 219 North
Summit street an old woman. nearing
10 years, weeps bitterly. The world
has forgotten her. Although thou
sands of persons visit her home dur
ing the year, she remains a lonely and
chapter in the life of Mrs Matilda
Dunbar, mother of the late poet, Paul
Laurence Dunbar, whose lyrics of
lowly life touched sympathetic chords
in the hearts of every American and
introduced our race in the world Of
letters.
Mother Penniless
The poets mother confessed that
she is almost penniless and was dis
turbed over the fact that she was un-
able to purchase coal in which to drive
the icy fingers of winter from her lit
tie cottage. An inspection of the
house confirmed her statement On
the dining room table is a little tin
tors to contribute to her needs.
Dayton Disinterested
Residents of Dayton of both races
show little interest in the Dunbar
home, and one secretary of the Y. NJ.
C. A. admitted he did not know where
it was located. The city and state
have refused to take the place in
charge, appoint caretaker and pen
sion Mrs. Dunbar. Persons who know
the poet are endeavoring to solicit the
aid of the various Dunbar clubs
throughout the country, schools and
colleges to help make the home ma
tional monument and shrine. I'm
scrupulous publishers, who seized the
poets works when he was broken in
health, have sold copies of his books
throughout the world and carried the
money to their own pockets, denying
the aged mother any rights or royal
ties and her fate now rests with the
public at large.
Poets Room Unframed
Dunbar's room. where he wrote
poems that later immortnlized him, is
located on the second floor of the
home. His desk. covered with manu-
scripts and many autographed books
of his contemporaries, is as he left il.
Many of these documents of the high
est literary value, are exposed to light
and dust. and unless protected will
soon be worthless. The poets cloth
ing and other personal belongings are
in the room, placed there by him.

bed. Unless help comes from some
outside source the Dunbar home may
