BRYAN AND THE NEGROES.
A Chicago banker, Don. C. Farnsworth, was one of the
distinguished arrivals in Lincoln, Neb., recently. He is said to be
a friend of such potent democratic statesmen as Henry D.
Clayton—chairman of a recent convention; James Thomas Heflin and
Ollie M. James, the Kentucky giant; also of Charles A. Towne, whose
name he desired to see an this year's national ticket in the place
actually occupied by the name of good Mr. Kern of Indianapolis.
Banker Farnsworth conversed with ilr. Bryan recently and ate
luncheon with him, and his host requested him to tackle the jab of
organizing the negro voters —this side of the alleged solid south—
against Judge Taft and for the judge's eloquent and benevolent
competitor. According to the Sun's Lincoln correspondent the
Chicago banker says so. "Farnsworth admitted after the Interview
that he had been asked to take up the work," telegraphs that
correspondent, "and he said that he believed from the knowledge he
had of the sentiment entertained by the negroes of the middle west
toward the republican ticket that they will be a big factor In
determining Roosevelt's successor." Then Mr. Bryan was asked about
it. He expressed much surprise that the banker should have made
such a statement without being authorized to do so, but still,
according to the Sun's correspondent, did mot declare the statement
untrue. "That is work which belongs to the committee which Is yet
to be elected," Mr. Bryan is quoted as saying. "I do not understand
how I could take up the business of campaign management in that
way."
Apropos, the Baltimore Sun, In a leading editorial article
called upon Mr. Bryan to come out into the open and tell democrats
intelligibly and candidly what his attitude toward the negroes is.
The Baltimore Sun is the
principal newspaper of Maryland—a former slave-holding state—in
which Roosevelt got an electoral vote in 1904 —a state that twice
gave her electoral votes to William McKinley. When such a newspaper
speaks to the democratic party's candidate for the presidency he
cannot well affect to be deaf. It notes his denial that he has been
discussing the Brownsville Incident and the matter of appointments
with a delegation of negroes, and his reported intention to avoid
all topics not in the Denver platform. It tells him there is one
topic it does not see how he can avoid. It says:
The paramount political question in every southern state is the
race question. It is that question which keeps the south solid, and
a man who asks for the vote of the south cannot avoid It when his
position Is called in question. It would be entirely proper for Mr.
Bryan to make a more complete statement. The position of his
opponent, Judge Taft, on the Brownsville affair, is well known. He
upholds the president In dismissing from the service the negroes
guilty of riot and murder in a southern town and of disgracing the
uniform they wore. Every senator from every southern state upheld
the president on that affair except Tillman of South Carolina and
Tillman was against him not because he sympathized with the
negroes, but because of his intense hostility to Mr. Roosevelt. In
the matter of the appointment of negroes to office, every southern
man knows that such appointments are injurious to the south and
most harmful to the negro race. Mr. Bryan says he has not discussed
these questions. But what the southern people are interested In
knowning, and have a right to know, is Mr. Bryan's attitude on
these subjects. Why should not Mr). Bryan speak clearly, and
frankly define his position?
Three or four days earlier In the week the principal newspaper
of an
other southern state, the Charleston News and Courier, had
said:
Were It not for the belief that Mr. Bryan is in full accord with
the southern people in regard to the negro ques-tlo, he would not
receive the electoral votes of the solid south, and we do not know
that the south would have much to obtain from a democratic victory
gained by compromise with the negro voters in the northern states.
In this matter it behooves the democratic candidate at least to be
cautious. If he permit suspicion to enter the minds of southerners
that his attitude is not squarely against recognition of the negro
as an important factor in American political affairs, he will
induce an indifference among southern democrats that would imperil
the chances of democratic success In Tennesse, Georgia and North
Carolina.
It seems likely that these suggestions may be even now receiving
Mr. Bryan's anxious consideration. It also seems that the
Farnsforth visit to Lincoln and the published story about it may
make it more difficult for him to maintain a politic silence than
ever.
DISCOUNTING THE FUTURE.
So a sanguine citizen actually wants a charter right; away for a
New York and Boston airship line—passenger and freight. It
certainly seems pretty early days for that. Father Time himself
must be a bit startled by such an unusually brisk clutch at his
forelock. Hard-headed business men, priding themselves on their
practicality, smile at the very thought of the incorporated airship
line. Edmund Clarence Stedmen, were he yet here, would applaud with
both hands; but he was a poet.
As far as most people who are not poets or enthusiasts can now
see, the project—commercially considered—Is quite impracticable.
The general and reasonable convicition is that passengers and
freight will not be regularly carried through the air at a profit
for the carrier in our time, or in any
proximate time. But how far can the public see? What is on ahead
there beyond its ken? We may feel pretty sure that this thing or
that thing Is not there, whatever else may be; but we do not know.
To our sturdy colonial ancestors this twentieth century world of
railroads, telegraphs, submarine cables, telephones and
automobiles—with electricity lighting the streets and hauling the
street cars— would have 'been utterly unthinkable. Remembering
that, it becomes us to preserve a certain modesty and diffidence in
our own forecasts.
The Hon. Abraham W. Venable regarded himself, and was regarded
in his day by others, as a pretty Intelligent American. He was the
nephew of the old Virginia senator of that name—Thomas Jefferson's
friend. He set in the house for a North Carolina district. One day
in 1851, well on in the second session of the thirty-first congress
Mr. Venable got up and addressed the house. "The power conferred
upon us by the constitution to build ships for a navy for the
public defense," he said, "was never intended to be used in the
construction of steam vessels."
He believed it, too; he was quite in earnest. But his words make
very queer reading now. when the battleship fleet is making its
visit to the Antipodes and Asia.

Story of This Remarkable Woman Anarchist. :
NEXT WEEK'S CONVENTION. Napoleon will soon be with his le
gions again; Mr. Hearst is homeward bound. New York expects him
today. No accident of travel preventing, he will be on hand in
Chicago next Monday when Charles A. Walsh—sometime secretary of the
democratic national committee—callB the national convention of the
new party to order. Mr. Hearst is a delegate at large from New York
to the convention. He will be its nominee for the presidency if he
consents. If he Is stubborn in refusal, absolutely vetoing the use
of his name, the convention's choice still seems more than likely
to fall upon Thomas L. Hisgen, the village Hampden who withstood
the Standard Oil company and who surprised all Massachusetts by
showing up with 75,499 votes at the finish of the queer race for
the governorship of that commonwealth last year. As far as known
Hisgen stands as high in Mr. Hearst's favor now as he did then.
Other possibilities mentioned are Mr. Walsh, who used to be a
democrat; Lawyer Reuben R. Lyon who is an up-state New Yorker, and
Colonel J. Temple Graves, who is an orator, a poet, a soul of dew
and fire, and also an editor on Mr. Hearst's payroll. Both in New
York and down in Atlanta, there Is a belief that the colonel is
fairly sure of second place on the ticket if he does not go to the
top.
After the convention it is hoped that somebody who knows an
opportunity when he sees It will get busy at once in arranging for
a series of joint debates between Graves and the silver-toungued
Mr. Towne, formerly of Du-luth.
"Health Coffee" is really the closest Coffee Imitation ever yet
produced. This clever Coffee substitute was recently produced by
Dr. Shoop of Racine, Wis. Not a grain of real Coffee in it either.
Dr. Shoop's Health Coffee Is made from pure toasted grains, with
malt, nuts, etc. Really It would fool an expert—who might drink it
for Coffee. No 20 or 30 minutes tedious boiling. "Made in a
minute," says the doctor. Sold by Geo. H. Wilder.
There is nothing so soothing as the music drawn
from Young's pianos. Every home needs the re
fining influence of music and there is no one so
poor that they can't have a good piano in their
home by buying one of Young.
lhe Emerson combines with its incomparable
tone, a most perfect action and touch that is sus
ceptible to every shade of expression. Thus artistically and
mechanically the Emerson piano lays claim to distinction and is
borne out by the opinion of master musicians the world over.

D a k o t a *
For mora than half a decade the secret service of the United
States, assisted by the postal authorities and a score of city
police forces, have been striving without much availl to compel one
woman to hold her tongue. Laws have been made especially to deal
with her and whole corps of detectives trained to enforce the laws.
But neither espionage, threats, arrests nor imprisonment have
served to check the fanatical activity of this princess of pests,
Emma Goldman, internationally known as the queen ot the
anarchists.
To this woman's Influence over the ignorant, the embittered and
the ill balanced is laid the death of President McKinley, the
assassination of several foreign rulers, the attempt on the life of
Henry C. Frisk and many other outrages of like kind. Yet she still
is expounding her doctrines in this land of liberty with such
success that the federal, state and municipal authorities are
making a combined struggle to stamp out once and for all the
dangerous fire of anarchy.
And what manner of woman is this who is able to win converts to
a doctrine of murder In a democratic country whenever she speaks?
This question never has been satisfactorily answered, for the woman
is a good deal of a mystery in spite of the fact that her doings
are chronicled almost daily in the newspapers.
Emma Goldman was born on June 27, 1870, at Kovno, Russia, an
Important town in the western part of the empire near the German
border. After attending school in her native town Bhe was sent to
Koonlgsberg, Germany, to finish her education. In 1884, her parents
having preceded her, Emma, accompanied by an elder sister, Helen,
came to America and settled with her relatives at Rochester, N. Y.
There she engaged in dressmaking and claims to have been
successful. She was married in 1886 to Joseph Klrshner. This union
did not prove happy and the couple soon separated.
Her First Interest In Anarchy. It was about this itme that
Emma
Goldman began to take an interest in anarchistic teachings. Then
came the bomb throwing episode In Chicago, for which Parsons,
$pies, Engell, Fischer and Lingg, all anarchists, paid the penalty
on the scaffold. After that Emma Goldman's course in life changed.
She forthwith took up the preaching of what she calls, with
unconscious Irony, "the higher doctrine of humanity," and has stuck
to it since, through many vicissitudes.
At 37 the "queen" still is a well preserved woman. She Is only
five feet three Inches in height and weighs about 132 pounds. Her
youthful gait and carriage give a strong impression of nervous
energy and determination. This astonishing woman's voice is low and
pleasant, and the impression one gets of her, despite the firm
chin, is of mildness and gentleness, even when she Is speaking in
public. On the platform she makes no gestures, but walks back and
forth as she talks in a low, tense voice.
Arriving in New York during the spring of 1888, she joined the
"Pioneers of Liberty," the oldest anarchistic organisation in the
city, and soon made her powers of persuasive speech felt. It was
during that year that she first met Alexander Berkman, whom she
afterward took as "husband," according to the teachings of anarchy.
Berkman soon after attempted the life of Henry C. Frick, a
Pittsburg millionaire, and was sentenced to twenty-two years'
Imprisonment
The next four years she spent in comparative quiet, speaking
whenever the chance offered, and by persistent effort developed
into a leader of considerable power and influence until she won the
title of "queen of the anarchists."
In 1892 the police of Newark and Paterson, N. J., broke up
numerous meetings at which she was scheduled to speak. It was in
1893 while speaking to the unemployed at Union Square, New York,
that the police swooped down on the anarchists and arrested their
"queen" on the charge of "inciting a riot." For this she was tried
and sentenced to a year's imprisonment on Blackwell's island. She
was released at the end of ten months (the time allowed for good
behavior being deducted), and at once proceeded to Philadelphia.
There as in New York the was prevented from speaking by '1 e
vigilance of the police.
fcae Wiis next heard of In Austria studying French, then In
Vienna becoming a specialist in scalp and «vin treatment and in
hair dressing.
Returning to New York, she set up a hair dressing establishment
on Broadway, combining that with trained nursing. She now was
fluent in French, German, Russian, English and Yiddish and spent
her spare time preaching anarchy. Then It was decided that she give
up business and devote her entire time to "the cause." Troublesome
times followed for her and she had many unpleasant experiences with
the authorities in Paterson, Philadelphia, New York, Barre, Vt.,
and other cities.
The world stood aghast when King Humbert of Italy was murdered
by an anarchist at Honza July 29, 1900. It subsequently developed
that the murderer was one Brescl, an ardent follower of Emma
Goldman, who journeyed from Paterson, N. J., to his native land on
his murderous mission.
Taught "Peace," She Declared. Miss Goldman at that time
declared
—in fact she has always said—that she did not preach
destruction, but taught "peace, harmony and brotherly love among
men, regardless of race, creed or color." How true this was may be
judged by her subsequent career.
On September 6, 1901, President McKinley waa ahot by Leon
Czolgosz. It was said that Czolgosz had claimed to be a follower of
Emma Goldman and that her lecture at Cleveland, O., just prior to
the tragedy had inspired him to «ommit the deed. Thereupon the
United States government, acting with the authorities of New York
State, demanded her arrest She left St Louis, where she had been
staying, and went to Chicago. She was promptly arrested and put
under $20,000
In lieu of the ball she spent some time in the Cook county jail,
while the government, anxious to secure her extradition to New
York, spent $30,-000 and employed 200 detectives to get evidence
against her. Every effort was made, to connect the "queen" with the
cowardly act of Czolgosz, but as no proof was forthcoming she had
finally to be discharged.
Another echo of the McKinley episode was the arrest of Johann
Most, the friend and adviser of the "qaeen," In New York, for the
publication of an article, "Murder vs. Murder." He was found guilty
of "Inciting to riot" and condemned to one year in the
penitentiary, the conviction being the third since his arrival in
the United States.
"Anarchist squads" now were organized by the police and a
systematic effort made to stamp out anarchism in the larger cities.
The New York state legislature passed the "criminal anarchy" law.
Features of the law are:
"Criminal anarchy is the doctrine that organized government
should be overthrown by force or violence, or by assassination of
the executive head or of any of the executive officials of
government, or by any unlawful means. The advocacy of such doctrine
either by word of mouth or writing is a felony."
Other sections establish the liability of editors, proprietors
and publishers of books, magazines or newspapers publishing
forbidden matter, forbid the assemblage of two or more persons to
advocate or teach crimlnay anarchy and make the owner, agent,
superintendent, janitor or occupant of any building liable to heavy
punishment for permitting such meeting on the premises.
Notwithstanding this law anarchistic meetings are held and
advertised openly in New York city and a list of anarchist
publications appear in each issue of Emma Goldman's organ, "Mother
Earth, and In others.
In October, 1903, John Turner arrived in this country ~t the
invitation of Miss Goldman with the object of lecturing on the
subjects of "Trade Unionism'" and "Anarchism." At his first meeting
In New York on October 23, he was arrested by the federal
authorities under the clause in the Immigration law which forbids
the landing of people who "do not believe in organized government"
The "queen" was not to be outdone, however. She secured the release
of Turner on bail, fought the authorities at every turn and kept
Turner busy lecturing in the larger cities. In the end, through the
United States supreme court, John Turner was deported, but the
"queen" had won a victory, for while waiting the disposition of the
case . Turner had accomplished effective work for anarchism.
Rejoined by Berkman. On May 18, 1906, Alexander Berk
man waa released from prison after serving fourteen years for
his attempt on the life of Henry C. Frlck at Pittsburg, Pa. During
all these years Emma Goldman visited him many times, often making a
special trip from New York to Allegheny, where he was imprisoned.
She traveled under an assumed name and she laughingly tells the
story that she was never recognized. When asked how she managed to
hide her idenity she simply smiles and the questioner must be
satisfied with that answer.
Immediately following his release he went east and joined the
"queen" In the publication of "Mother Earth," which in its
beginning enjoyed the active support of the radicals of the
country.
The New York police then became very active against the
anarchist, the specially created "anarchist squad" working with
vigor and their efforts finally resulting in the forcible
dispersion of a meeting called by anarchists to discusB the act of
Czolgosz. A number of those present, including Emma Goldman, were
arrested but not held. Closely following this incident, the "queen"
again was arrested, together with John Coryell and Alexander
Berkman, during a lecture on the "Misconception of Anarchism."
Though these arrests were made under sections of the "criminal
anarchy" law, no conviction was secured.
In 1907 Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman were repeatedly
arrested and prevented from speaking by the police in various
cities. The "queen" then visited Amsterdam, Holland, where she
attended the international anarchist conference in August, 1907. On
her return to America she was confronted by the federal
authorities, who tried to keep her out of the land, but in this
they were unsuccessful.
Victims of Anarchy in 1908. Four lives have been sacrified
in
thiB country on the altar of anarchy during the first four
months of 1908.
While celebrating mass early in the morning of February 23, and
just as he was in the act of putting his lips to the sacrament,
Father Leo Hein-richs was Bhot down and killed by Giusseppe
Guarnacoto at the altar of St. Elizabeth s Roman Catholic church in
Denver, Col. He was arrested and found guilty and hanged.
On March 2, just as Chief of Police George H. Shlppy was about
to leave his home at 31 Lincoln court, Chicago he was attacked by a
man. In the struggle which followed Chief Shippy was wounded with a
knife, his son, Harry, received a serious wound, th* chief's
driver, James Foley. waa cut on the wrist, and the would-be
murderer waa shot dead. He was later Identified as Lazarus A.
Aberbuch, a Russian Jew. .
On March 28 a meeting of the unemployed waa called to take place
In Union Square, New York. The police had refused to issue a permit
and took steps to prevent it A large crowd had assembled when the
blue-coats arrived. They drove the mob in front of them. Suddenly
there waa a loud report—a bomb had exploded —and two men lay
writhing in the gutter. Ignatz Hlldebrand, a bystander, was killed
and Selig silver-stein, a young cloak maker, who had attempted to
throw the bomb which prematurely exploded in his hand, l*y mortally
wounded and frightfully disfigured.
In each of the cases' noted the crimes were by men proved to be
followers of Emma Goldman or students of anarchist literature
written by her.
Miss Goldman's recent reports from the west are not encouraging,
