ager for Mayor Deyer and as such he
was the smoothest proposition that
has ever come down the pike. During
the late city election it was no uncom-
mon sight to observe three Or four
colored men sitting on one side of his
desk; buzzing into his ear and three
or four white men sitting on the other
side doing the same thing and 10 or II
men standing around the door waiting
to get a chance to talk with him, and
with all of the excitement and commo-
ton around him he never lost his
poise nor attempted to fare up and
jump up IN the air and do whole lot
Of loud cussing like many politicians
or political managers do but on the
contrary he would continue to smile
and smile and shake hands all around
proving far beyond a doubt that be
was the right man in the right place.

occupies the most prominent and
responsible position in Mayor Dever's
cabinet and the doors on his inner

This is a history of the Island of
Jamaica and the author ends her tale
as follows:
II hope that if a dark man reads
this book he will not think unkindly
of me for writing as if there were a

There is, it would be foolish to ignore
it, but it is only the difference Of edu-
cation and training. We must remem-
Der that in past ages the Anglo-Saxon
stood in the market place Of Rome
chained and in slavery, that blue eyes
and faxon hair marked the savage,
and dark complexion and black eyes
the civilized man. The time of servi-
tude of the dark man is a little closer.
He has come up to the same stony
path that the white man trod, and he
will do it more easily and more quick
ly-he is doing it-because the white
man has prepared the way"
The history of Jamaica is full Of
tragedy. This beautiful island, as
lovely as any in the whole world, fell
first into the hands Of Spaniards. They
went as adventurers, and left death
behind them, killing, it is believed, all
the native Indian inhabitants. One can
take satisfaction that the Climate,
coupled with too much alcohol, killed
the Spaniard as we'll Then came the

slave the land was cultivated and great

author has finished with the slave ship.
And if the torture on sea was ter
rible, the torture in the new land was
little better. Mrs. Gaunt has made a
study of various plantations and shows
the jamaican as cruel as any Georgia

her story, and comparing conditions in
the West Indies with those in our
southern states. that man cannot be
trusted to remain kindly and humane
if he is isolated and be given the
power Of life sand death over other
men. Indeed, one does not need to
conflne ones comparison to the south
ern states and slavery. Wardens Of
prisons, superintendent Of orphan
ages, again and again, have been found
to practice cruelty toward those in their
power. 1t would seem that 1t Is mere
ly the desire to hold the good opinion
OF his fellow that makes most men
decent toward those over whom thev
have control. Thus slavery was more
humane in Virginia, near the center Of
population, than in remote Mississippi.
In the West Indian plantations, alocf

II the planters were cruel the slaves
were insurrectionary. BrawIey in his

sense of danger that accounts todav
