THE DAWN OF A BETTER DAY.
The awakening of the north to the
tn-.th about (he mouth's greatest in
ternal problem is one of the striking
features ct recent devt lojimonl.
Thai th;' uitiimlu of the north is
changed, or i;i undrK'iins a eliane. is'
aipa:.T.t from the current editorial

The I'onst'iatte.i! rr .:ro(h;r3 else
where en th!:; patw two noiahlp re
cent editorial'- lmm The Chicago Tri
hinio and The Port land Oivsonian.
The papers qtnttetl are representative
in the hl'sest wn-. Tin? Tribune
htands for i he Mnlwari Bepuldican-
ism of 1 i: '. great mobile west, and The
Oiegenian to that of Hip trans-mountain
west ami t!u- P.ieifie coast. Both
are si rung force.; ta the support of
their party.
Ii the dominant political parly has
the wisdom to follow their patriotic
and sensible sug'Te.-'-tions. our nations!
unity will bear not even a scar ot the
civil strife ef forty .wars ago. a
veritable "era e.f good fe ding" will
return to every pen of the nation;
liin-e will be infinitely more political
ind -pendi nee along lines of principle,
and the- negro will profit immi asur
ably by taking his cw 'in of the
hands of the political (piaeks.
There are two quotation from
these two influential Republican pa
pers which need to be stressed.
The I'orlland 'Greg uiiun says:
-Truth is. the north long ago has
been willing to leave io the south the
solution of the difficult race question
that; besets iti The north long since
c( ased from effort to force ne'io suf
frage at the south. Again, the gen
eral opinion of the north holds it a
mistake to push n.groes into conspic
uous federal positions in the e.outh.
for it is not done in the north, and it
is best, moreover, not to to.ieh the
sensibilities of the south on this r.r?
?pot."
The Chicago Tribune says:
. "What keeps the negro in p ilitic:;
today? Wiiiie Mint hern U ;" of th"
anti-white policy of a great many
members of the Republican pari y.
Roosevelt has succeeded ia making
iiis policy mere ir-itatirg Pad more
humiliating than ever before. I: is
the one profound error of his admini.-'-i
ration, lie ru's found it neces.;ary
to do w'.iat McKiniey had no difficulty
in avoiding. Ho hi;; sent to il that,
whether it he a matter of private din
ners or (;1 political aiujoituiin nts, the
exaggerated ft clings of the
south I
shall be si ill further exagg -rated. '
The whole trouble is compressed ia
: he ! foregoing quotations. The Ore
Souian declares that the pn blic 'opin
ion of the north is in favor of none of
Miese things that naturally exasperate
and humiliate the south and aggra
vate the seriousness ol her peculiar
local problem.
If this declaration is true of present
northern- sentiment, Republican pol
iticians will not coddle the iiegro po
litically by making the sou ih his pat
ronage preserve!
We shall not cop-ment upon what
The Tribune says of President Roose'
velt and "the one profound error of
his administration." The Resident,
recognizing the truth of what both of
hesc Republican papers say, may in
the f at ure- pay more ik fe:- nee to the
ight-thinkirg sen tin; out of tie1 nor'e
.ind to the justice of th - south- posl
.'.ion. At least, le: us hope so.

A PLEA FOR ECONOMY.
The Chicago Tribune sounds a note
of warning to the incoming congress
-.gainst ihe ex:ravaganee v hi eh ha
i.eeu running riot during the last
three years in all departments of the
government. Hut thtre is little pro--;;cct
that it will be heeded. The Re

Si.nio of the founders of the nation would have DENIED that

great cities as pestilential to the morals, the health and the liherlied

In England they reckon TO per cent of our population as dwellers

Iuch has been said of the increase in the number of persons who
Fpoak English and who will speak it. The important thing, as we all
know, is not the exact fraction of the human race that will speak
English. The important thing is that those who speak English,

Woman's Vanity and Man's

OaIEX are supposed to be addicted to vanity ot apparel. j
I have met ilKX who give as much time and thoughtj
to self adornment as a pretty girl. Hut, while a woman's
vanity is oftentimes an adorable weakness, A VAIN

it is more properly her own 1)Y KKIHT OF FITNESS
(living an opinion, however, from a broader point of view, I
fchould say that a woman is more vain of her BELONOINGS, a man
of his ACHIEVEMENTS. The lite of one is restricted to Uie
home; that of the other is as boundless as the world.
In the narrow groove allotted to woman SMALL things become
of PARAMOUNT importance. Her standard of comparison is set
by her IMMEDIATE group of friends her calling list. Occasion

Kites and Flying Machines
By) Sir HIRAM MAXIM.
I
HAVE been lately experimenting with a great kite supporting
a simple platform of boards on which a man lay face downward..
The kite was attached to a captive Maxim flying machine.
While tho ordinary boats attached to this machine were going in-an
ever increaf-ing circuit at twenty mile-- an hour the kite swept round
in a circle twice as larrre until, when at its height, it sped round CiTJ,
