tlments were reechoed in tha acta of
this favorite (laughter and the recession
of type occurred: tha tragedy of self
ondmnatlon ws terrific " .
President Phllllpa was a grand good
man; a politician to be aura, and went
into office largely on the enthusiasm
created among tha pntrlotlo masses by
his military hat, but hi devotion to hia
family, particularly to tha unfortunate
Helen was beautiful and typified tha
close and peculiar love that, except In
rare casesv exists between father and
daughter, s The force of the book la Con
oentrated on tha attitude- of thev piibllo
toward tha action of President Phllllpa
'In entertaining negro .guests." To bring
this to its perfect strength the author
has cleverly brought into the senate of
the United States bill which hinges
largely upon tha social recognition of
the negro. This brings out both stdea
of tha question, but no better presenta
tion of tha race question haa ever bean
. given, either in treatise on the subject
or in fiction, than Mr. Durham haa pre-,
sented through tha speech of Senator
Itutledga of South Carolina. - It la clear,
Just and lilumlnatlna-: it meets tha Is
sue squarely and without evasion, ana
lyses everv nhase of It. On- th nolnt
of educating the negro, fpon wntoh so
many differ,- Senator Rutledga aaya. In
part: "As a result of my personal ob-
servstlbn as anian brought up In tha
south, my sincere opinion that aduca-
tion of tha negro In the usual literary
siuaies from tha kindergarten- to tha
college as well as alona Industrial lines.
is -as a rule beneficial and uplifting
to him. e, Let m, Jest j be
misunderstood, that while I believe the,
negro race will be hewers of wood and
drawera of water for generations to
come and that education wilt be bene,
flclal to them as a tolling class, I am
not of those who believe that wheri by
education -vou spoil at negro field hand
you have committed a crime. 1 have no
sympathy with the sentiment that would
confine any man to a limited though
respectable and honorable work when
he has within him the aspiration and
the ability to serve bis race and hia
time In broader fields." "
The senator then goes on describing
with minute nicety tha difference be
tween elevating the negro through edu
cation, politics and society. In regard
to tha seoond point he says: "When I
speak of the president' negro policy I
do not mean to Include his appoint
ments of negroes to offloa. I think we
of the south have In these matters to
-some tent confuted -tna lssuea- and.
proportionately weakened our - position

weight of alt consideration Is agalhst it.
But the considerations etther for or
against It are considerations of ex
pediency, They sre not vltnl. If the
president wishes to vindicate his ap
pointments on the ground that his ap

of his party and fafrfy efficient let
him. -Such reasona have been given for
political appointments time out of mind,
although they are not conclusive In any
ease, and especially not In the matter
nf negro office-holding In the south.
But let him not go Into cheap- heroics,
such as were Indulged in by a recent
negro appointee, who tragically -exclaimed
that If hia appointment was not

tha atory of tha arreat reaoLna Industry

Had Julee Verne wrttted "The Komanea
of tha Reaper" 60 years ago It would,
have been considered quit as much of
flight of the imagination as were hi
travels around the world In SO days.
and its advance from ona ataga of evo

bread. The lowst prises now are golil
watches and steam yachts and automo
biles. Even the hobo at the back door
scorns , bread, unless we apologUe.
