ties. Those who have been stung
by the numerous presidential bees
of the 1910 swarm, are reluctant
to inform the public as to the
depth of the insertion and the eff
feet it has upon them. All are
waiting the usual something that
sooner or later turns up. And, in
the mean time, with tantalizing,
sphinx-like solemnity and quiet,
the president in "fireside chats" is
as cold and cherries as the Arc
tic regions to II would like to
serve" aspirants. Presidents be-
come obsolete with the growth of
a country's demands and the ex-
pansion of ideas and intelligence
of the electorate. This rapidly
moving old world cannot stop and
contend with yesterday; it must
keep up with tomorrow while it
performs the duties of today. If
the people want the third term
bugaboo shelved their votes will
do it.

HEART THROBS
DESCRIPTION OF CHRIST

The following epistle is said to
have been taken by Napoleon from
the records of Rome when he de-
prived that city of so many valu-
able manuscripts. 1t was writ
ten at the time and on the spot
where Jesus commenced his min
istry, by Publius Lentulus, Govern
or of udea, to the Senate of Rome,
Caesar, emperor. 1t was the GUS
tom in those days for the governor
to write home any event that
transpired while he held office.
"Conscript Fathers: In these our
days appeared man named Jesus
Christ, who is yet living among us,
and of the Gentiles is accepted as
a prophet of great truth; but his
own disciples call him the Son of
God. He hath raised the dead and
cured all manner of diseases. He
is man of stature somewhat tall
and comely, with a ruddly coun-
tenance, such as the beholder may
both love and fear. His hair is the
color of filbert when fully ripe,
plain to his ear, whence downward
it is more of orient color, curling
and waving on his shoulders; in
the middle of his head is seam
of long hair, after the manner of
the Nazarites. His forehead is
plain and delicate; the face with
out spot or wrinkle, beautiful and
comedy red; his nose and mouth
are exactly formed; his beard is
the color of his hair and thick, not
of any length, but forked.
I'm reproving he is terrible; adj
monishing, courteous; in speaking,
very modest and wise; in proper
ton of body, well-shaped. None
have seen him laugh, many have
seen him weep. A man for his
SURPRISING beauty excelling the
children of men,"

According to their report the
youths struck in November, 1899,
and were told by the captain, af-
ter the Investigator had retired,
IF I can't lead you, I'll drive you"
Things got so bad said ]. c. Ward
of Seattle, until the boys were
forced to strike again, this time
against being worked seven days
each week and IN the rain.
Reports are coming in that boys
who remain are slated for disho-
norable discharges. Some say that
1t means that Negro boys will be
BACKED out of the c. c. c. camps
in Washington state.
The only place where the boys
had a break was during the five
days each week when they were
working on the road under the d.
rection of the u. 8. Forest De-
partment. Our misery started when
we returned to our quarters to
work Saturday and Sunday super
vised by the u. S. army.
Boys Work In Harmony Here
According to admissions from
both white and Negro boys, the
two groups worked together in
harmony in C. C. C. camps
throughout Washington. During
the government reorganizations
drive in 1889, the army got control
and segregated the boys against
the will of the parents and con-
finde them to third rate camps in
California.
Those who were in both camps
said that in so far as education,
feed, recreation, sanitation, medi-
cal care, safety and freedom from
petty nagging by army officers,
the worst of the mixed camps in
Washington were infinitely super
ior to the best of the Jim Crow
camps in California.
Segregation is a part of the ar
my ritual and its impression is
left wherever they control whether
it be C. C. C. camps or the regu-
lar army, said Ward.
