A3 NEGRO PARTY FEALTY IS VALUED. The time- Is almost ripe for Activ ity among the Hi-publicans locally. The pas word of the local boss "line up boys" will itoon be hoard on ev ery corner. Again an earnest appeal ! for the Negro vote will be made. The ' Republicans aro in the saddle In the city, county and state. The) littlo representation given the Negroes at the City Mall la supposed to bo a filling (?) recognition for his fealty. The county officials do not seem to think they owe the Negro voter any thing for his support nor do the state officials. The Son holds that the Republi cans expect too much of the Negro voters for what Is given In return. As soon as an office hunter bags bis game he does not know his Negro supporter nor does ho want to know him until the tlmo comes to hunt the office again. Very inspiring (?) to the Negro. Very characteristic of our officials at Jefferson City as well as the office holders In the Court house. If per chance one of these officials meets a Negro who was an active champion of the Republican party In terests, he begins to tell him troubles but the point he never reaches If It touches upon the question of Negro recognition. The spoils are divided among the office holders and the white party workers and the Negro I gi'ts nothing except the command, I'Viot ready boys, line up and let's j elect our ticket." This old command ! is tune worn and shattered and will : not work nny longer. There will be ! no more lining up until the Negro gi ts something for something. Jon r. Tii.Litorr Established 1880. Wm.

While Pat Kern, a sturdy young Irishman of Philadelphia, was stand ing on a ladder cleaning windows a lawyer approached and called out to him that an uncle living in Ireland had died, leaving him $100,000.

The Negroes of Kansas City are very proud of the Ninth States Cavalry. The company is comprised of intelligent Negroes of a distinct soldierly bearing. They acted as escort to Secretary Taft of the war department, who was the principal guest at the Eleventh An nual dinner of the Commercial Club) last Monday night. The following Is an editorial of the Kansas City Star upon which tho Son can make no improvement: "The men of tho squadron of the Ninth cavalry that acted as Secretary Taft's escort this morning were as fine and soldierly a set of fellows as one would care to see. They sat on their horses with the pride and self respect that are expected of all wear ets of tho uniform of the United4 States and from which the accidental fart of tho color of their skin did not In the slightest degree detract. The Negro regiments of the United States have repeatedly proved their quality in battle. In the Civil war, on tho plains and in Cuba they showed their courage and their fidelity to th flag. It was a happy thought that suggested their employment In the military service of their country, for In it thousands of them have found a useful and honorable career. No body who saw the squadron this morning would he disposed to ques tion, the advantages of the discipline and training that army life would provide to many Negroes who have drifted to cities with nothing In par ticular to do. President Roosevelt stands today as one of the greatest men of the age. United I 's a champion of Integrity, honesty and fair play. If all the American people were as hroad, fearless and up right as our great president, what a grand and good country this would he. REPARTEE AND ROMANCE.

WHEN TO CRITICISE. When your heart la warm with love, Even for your enemies; When your words come from above, Not from where the venom is; When you see the man entire, Not alone tho faults he has; Find a somewhat to admire Underneath the paltry mass- Not till then, if you are wise, Will you dare to criticise.

"ill u-1 t . viiui uiuiih give them what they are entitled to. There must be a graft somewhere1 and the people of this city are going to demand an explanation. The 13th is indeed an unlucky day. On that date a Negro mob in Atlanta, Ga., attempted to lynch a white man for criminal assault on a colored girl. By so doing they show that they adopt the barbarism displayed 1 by others. This Is wrong. We object to lynching because of its barbarity and not because of the particular person lynched. A mob Is simply a mob regardless of the color of those who compose it. The Freeman. Felix Carmen, in N. Y. Sun. Evidences are accumulating that that the Negro Is doing some taJJ thinking along political lines. He Is ceasing to be the tool of any local boss, or an asset of any particular party. He Is beginning to have a definite and practical reason for the faith that Is within him. A Dozen Don'ts. Don't "knock." Don't get gay. Don't depend too much on friends. Don't forget that the best kind of advise Is example. Don't do all your pushing against the breechestraps. Don't be a good fellow at the ex pense of your family. Don't forget that your wife earns half of the money or more. Don't forget that time wasted to day is a draft on tomorrow. Don't work so nard trying to find a way to live without working. Don't forget that there wolud be no tongue of gossip If there were not at least two ears. Don t keep all your good nature for use during business hours take some of it home with you. Don t think that a brown stone front will keep the butcher boy from seeing the garbage barrel In the rear. W. L. Mauptn In Commoner, "Honestly, honestly on your word of honor did you like It, Fred?" she asked, finally. "Never enjoyed anything so much In my life," he said, and swallowed a lump.

Oh, I'm sq relieved, then," she said. as a huge sign escaped ner. rou see, I forgot to order the syrup for the sauce for the pudding, and I had to have something, so I took the cough syrup, and I was so afraid you'd tafite it." Exchange. It is wrong to be envious, but Just the same we never see a barefoot boy with bis toe tied up In a rag that we do not envy him, soro toe, rag and all. A man must be awfully mean when he can find pleasure In depriving other people of it.
