The recog nition of the negro. We are dealing In facts, not theory. At a meeting of tho Chamber of Commerce the other day Miss Frances Kellor of New York, an expert on labor con ditions, made a plea for tho hiring only of men who could speak Eng lish. She told-of tho danger of hir ing foreigners In general, and espec ially those who have not enough In terest to learn to speak the language. In times such as these, wo can eas ily appreciate the menace a foreign- speaking group might be to the Unit- j ed States. All or thin brings us tr recognize the value of the American negro to the country.' First, he Is an American and holds allegiance to no other country. He has no conflict ing emotions as between the Unlte; States and some other country. H is an American and Is striving witl might and main to be even a bctte; American. Second, he Is familia. with the language. Every negro speaks the language, and eight ou of every ten can read and write it. This Is a great asset as a laborer which tho capital of the country nn every citizen should realize. Third the negro loves tho Ideals of democ racy. If we should ask for th group of Americans which is most intensely democratic It would bo tlr negro group. Fourth, tho negro Is i peaceful worker. He seldom strikes, never dynamites, no never; leads no labor riots, burns no factories, ami destroys no machinery, but he is a good soldier, and our most depend able group In America. Why not give him a man's chance. Tho prize for the besL original or ation delivered by a Howdwln Col lege senior was awarded this year to David A. Lane, Jr., a young colored man, who took for his subject "The Task of the College-trained Negro." Among tho graduates at the recent commencement exercises of the Cen tral high school of Philadelphia was Raymond F. Alopander, a young col ored man. He wan given a place on the program and delivered an ora tion on the future of the American negro. Howard University, Washington, D.

JUBflP Ml II IRIIt HOT WATER Open sluices of system each morning wash away the poisonous, stagnant matter, says authority. and A glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, drank each morning before breakfast, keeps us looking and feeling fit. Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, look well. AVhat a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside hath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by open ing the sluices of the system each morning and Hushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoon ful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day's . indigestible wasrte, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and puri fying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonder fully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phos phate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood, and getting ready for a thorough Hushing of all the inside organs. The millions of peope who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter jxmud of limestone phosphate from the drug store, which will cost but little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro nounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation.

Si.iKift H.50. of the whole Thursday morning, after a lengthy debate. An amendment proposing to fix the maximum commission of 1 and 2 per cent on the face of the loan, in stead of allowing It to bo collected as an annual charge. In addition to the Interest, was offered by Mr. Swan Eon, but failed to Carry. Other amend ments were also voted down, with the exception of one by the introducer cutting out a section which required the Interest and commission to be stated on the face of every note. In its final form, as sent to third reading, the Deal bill allows 1 1 per cent yearly commission to bo charged oti loans of more than $3,000 with the proviso teat where the annual Intor- st rate Is 6 per cent no additional commission shall be charged. This is Intended to hold the combined rate down below 8 per cent n year. Considerable opposition has devel oped against the bill In the western end of the Btate among the banking interests, the statement being made that the bill would keep money away from that end. ! An appropriation of $2,000 for pay ing tho railroad fare and other ex penses of Nebraska civil war veterans to Vicksburg for the memorial anni versary celebration to be held at the national cemetery there this year was reported out by the finance committee of the house Saturday. This was done over the opposition of Chairman Reis- jcick. 1 Tho bill is one that Messrs. .lacob Bon and Fred Johnson introduced. Its supporters have been making the sentimental plea that this is probably the last opportunity the state will have to do anything of u substantial nature for tho civil war veterans, ow ing to the rapidly increasing death rate which is carrying them off. They ! have made a partial canvass of the house members and are confident of passing the bill. After turning the federal aid road bill over to the house Saturday after noon Chairman Ueischick moved that 1,000 copies of it be printed. It was his intention to call it up on the ap propriation tile Monday. This bro't it ahead of the Richmond capitol bill. Mr. Reischick Is in favor of the fed eral aid bill but opposed to the capi tol appropriation, and naturally he wanted to get his preferred measure out of the way before the other one came up a3 a special order Tuesday. S. F. No. 60, known aB the Fox bill to recognize the Btate heulth depart ment, has been reported out by the house medical committee to the gen erel lile, where it will be substituted for the duplicate house bill, farther up on the list. The house may get to the bill before the sifting commit tee takes charge, though this seems doubtful. Another bill to prohibit the use of trading stamps or the giving of pre miums with merchandise has been brought out by tho committee on manufacturers and commerce. The Corporations committeee has report ed favorably on a bill allowing tha largest building and loan association to lend $100,000 to a single borrow er. An earnest fight was made on tha floor Saturday afternoon by Repre sentative Tracewell of Cherry county handicapped as he Is by partial blind ness, for his bill to require bills of sale with all live stock bought and sold. It was first amended so as not to apply in territory east of the lOOta meridian, and then was killed. Mr. Tracewell has been nn active participant In the proceedings of the House In spite of his handicap. He has always looked after the interests of his district and has done much towards helping along legislation which will benefit the western sec tion of the state. The people of his district should feel' that they have been well represented by a man of his ability and experience. BRANDT SALE ON TUESDAY, MARCH 20 Owner Ila,s Moved to Ft.
