F. Carroll will also seek tte nomination for his second term. The former represents that which is termed as the progressive wing of the republican party and tne latter the stand pat or its tendencies. They are both honorable, worthy and very capable men, both having served a part of a term hence each are asking their second term, both have been state senators and one state auditor, the other lieutenant governor, hence is a hard question to judge which one is the better qualified, but the real question is whether we shall endorse the principles and policies advocated by Senatorors Janathan P. Dolliver and Senator Albert B.

Cummins or those advocated by Aldrich Payne and Cannon, the issues will be closely drawn in Iowa for it will be the battle ground We having generally believed in the progressive cause and principles as best suited for the people of Iowa and the middle west. We grant to anyone the right to their opinion. If we endorse the stand that Cummings and Dolliver have taken in congress then it is our duty to have state officers who are morally in sympathy with tlieir ideas and can assist them in their field to right the wrongs, check the trusts and lower the tariff. SECRETABY JORDAN'S NOTES. Dr.

Prowd, Superintendent of Missionary work in So. America is doubtless on his way to America and we ask our brothers in New York and elsewhere to receive him with kindness until he can reach the board. A number of the schools from one cause or another wree hindered from carrying out the program on the fourth Sunday in March, but have used another day. I knew of one Sunday school that used Wednesday night so anxious were they that they should help the brethern in regions beyond. Through the collections of our Sunday Schools beginning'on March 27th we have been enabled to reduce tne debt on the Lott Carey Academy at Queenstown, South Africa to $250.00 and on the First Baptist church, Queenstown to $1000.00.

The debt of the Nazareth Baptist church has been paid and that on the Bethel Baptist church, at South Africa reduced to $13000.00. We have also been enabled to send a number of our missionaries some needed help. The Foreign Mission Board extends its sincere thanks to all the schools and churches who have reported from our Bally day. Covetousness is the sin of bos 4h All sins, JtojB. which let us.

All pray to be delivered. A Superintendent writes "Our school Taised $3.00 for Foreign Missions, but the pastor thought it was too much and kept such a fuss until we had to divide it with him." Shame on this hard hearted covetous pretender, in one of God's pulpits. Let every Sunday School cnureh send something, so that each one of our Missionaries may get some lielp and that the cause of Christ may go forward in the regions beyond the sea. Baptists are pledged to the Old Commission. Yours H.

By N. BARNETT DODSON. The board of army officers appointed under the amended Foraker bill to decide upon the possible re-eullstment of the discharged soldiers of the black battalion has closed Its hearings, and the recorder of the court shows his intention to deny re-enlistment on tbeground that the evidence proves that colored soldiers did the shooting and that no colored soldier has affirmatively proved his innocence of in the shooting or In the'so called conspiracy of silence. The senior counsel fer the colored soldiers, N. B.

Marshall, refused to argue and declared the Instructions to the court by the secretary of war Improper in compelling the soldiers to prove their Innocence affirmatively and the action of the court one sided. This episode in the tragedy of Injustice against these loyal soldiers of the an episode destined, to be historic one in which we can take special'pride because Attorney Marshall is a colored American and also because of ihe Improper Instructions of the war'secretary, is reported In a recent Issue of the Washington Star, which says: Something of a sensation was produced during the closing sessions of the of inquiry which is investigating the Brownsville raid of August, 1906, by statements made by N. B. Marshall of the Washington bar, who was associated with Brigadier General A. R.

Daggett, U. S. retired, as counsel for the Negro soldiers seeking restoration to the army. Attorney Marshall declined the offer of the court to submit an argument on the general ground that It would serve no purpose and Implied broadly that the court bad been Improperly instructed by the secretary of war and that the recorder of the court, Captain Charles B. Howland, Twenty-first Infantry, had made no jtffort to produce favdfltShMr to IBscharged soldiers.

In declining to argue the cafie Mr. Marshall gave two specific reasons, as follows: "First, because the procedure adopted by the recorder (Captain Howland) and acquiesced In by this court leaves It undetermined in my mind whether this court is a court of Inquiry or a court martial, or, in other words, whether the recorder is an Impartial investigating officer or a prosecuting officer second, because the instructions of the secaetary of war to this court conflict so fundamentally and totally with my legal training as to make it Impossible for me to build an argument which would attempt to prove a negative. "For these reasons," said Mr. Marshall, "I can neither argue nor can I appeal to your merciful consideration, for, in all honor, this honorable court Is bound by the limitations Imposed by the authority from which its instructions proceed. "The record of this court will show that I offered to produce testimony of an affirmative and positive character, giving the names of the participators (persons not in the military service of the government) in and details of an alleged conspiracy to commit this crime.

"The record of this court will also show that no effort has been spared to produce before this court evidence, no matter how fliuisy or circumstantial, which might in the slightest degree tend to demonstrate the guilt of the men who formerly defended the flag and the honor of this our common country." The particular Instructions given by Secretary Dickinson to the court at the outset of the investigation, to which Mr. Marshall took especial exception, are as follows: "Supli conclusions as may be reached by the court in respect to the eligibility for re-enlistment of the former enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth infantry, at Brownsville, who were separated from the military service in the operation of discharges without honor, should be affirmative and positive in character and based upon such preponderance of testimony as will support Its specific finding." The court listened to tho lawyer's remarks without comment and arranged to sit again to hear the closing address of Captain Howland, which will Include a summary of the evidence submitted to the court, together with his conclusions. In view of the gross Injustice to 167 brave colored soldiers, not one of whom has been found guilty and for whom Joseph Benson Foraker sacrificed his political life, and for the sake of justice and free institutions la this republic the National Independent Political league urges every colored citizen to write his protest to a congressman or senator and to President Taft. Every church, society, organization and league should do the same and this injustice be protested publicly at special or other public meetings. State and local branches of this league are asked to do likewise.

The loyalty of the colored Americans to these soldiers as against Injustice Is one of Its greatest glories. Let us not desert now the "black battalion."

Otty Royal (Slants opened the season at their home grounds on Independence Kansas City, on Saturday, April 16, in the presence of hundreds of spectators. They were cheered to the echo as they marched, upon the field and took their respective positions. The Giants will be stronger this season than ever, as Manager Jack Johnson has already secured players of reputation as fast base runners. It Is the Intention of President M. B.

Garrett and Secretary George W. Walden to so conduct their team this season as to leave no room for conjecture as to the ability of the Giants to meet all comers and win. They are out for clean sport, the elevation of the game and a square deal for each member of the team. The club has received new impetus from the hearty Interqgt and co-operation which a large numbeF ef-well known business men of Kansas City have manifested In It at the very beginning of the season. Backed by men like M.

The schedule of games as ar ranged at present Includes nearly all of the leading colored and many of the white clubs throughout the country. All first class teams wishing to book games for the season should correspond with the Royal Giants, at 100S McGee street, Kansas City, as speedily as possible. The officers of the club have pledged themselves to see to It that every mau booked for a game is qualified, In good physical condition and willing to obey the1 rules of the game without being coaxed to do so. By this means many of the unpleasant features which often render the game one sided may be eliminated. Secretary Walden has the record of every player at his waldew.

To promote the business end of the game is the aim of the Kansas City Royal Giants. scon GETS SECOND PRIZE FOR ORATORY.
