TELL THEIR SUCCESSSES AND FAILURES RECEIVE GOOD ADVICE Criminal Element Will Not be Protected and Mob Violence is Deplored. Acquisition of property is Negotiated for Law Urged in Resolutions Setting Forth Necessity of Labor. (Horace D. Slatter.) Utica, Miss., Jan. 15.—Two thousand Negro farmers, their wives and children, attended with profit the fourth annual conference of the Negro Farmers' Conference, held under the auspices of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, of which Wm. H. Holtzclaw is principal. The Tuskegee idea in all of its wholesomeness and efficacious teaching of help is not even more vividly shown to the people here at Utica for the establishment, maintenance of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute is a direct outcome of Tuskegee teaching, its principal being a typical Tuskegee product. The concrete examples of successful farm life of these Negro farmers who attend the conference show this institution with all its work has become a very part of the life of the people. Ten years ago the people lived from "hand to mouth to mouth and year out to the general merchant through the influence of this institution, some have cleared themselves of debt, other have erected spacious modern homes for their families, while all, more or less, are bending their every energy to the task of obtaining a good education for their children, to the end that they may be useful citizens. Whatever complaint may be lodged against industrial education, the accomplishment of such results with the people would appear to all right thinking people as a证明 of its effectiveness. The institution with its teachers and principal, all young, energetic, self-sacrificing people become a part of the community, and in their dignified way, living an upright Christian life, make the uneducated person feel that after all there is something in an education worth having. The community, school, the extension, farm, the house visitation, and the farmers' who all of these things have a great influence on the lives of the people, who come in immediate contact with the school. Just for example, note the common sense advice contained in Mr. Holtzclaw's annual address before the farmers' conference: "The great possibilities of our state can never be fully realized until we get out of the habit of moving from place to place. Until we settle down somewhere and stay there, we some place our permanent abode that our movement from place to place can move much in the world's progress. Health happiness, even fortune are all right at your door. Too long have we seen the fantastic glories of great possibilities in some far away place, and have been all the while neglecting the opportunities at our doors. I have seen many parts of this country, and never seen a spot that I consider a better place for the Negro than right here in Mississippi." And again: "There are yet many things that we ought to have, and many that will come with the progress of the years; will come in fact just about as fast as we can make the best of them. But the question that confronts us today is, how are we living our lives? Is go home and answer these questions? Is own humble way. Go and buy you a little house if not more than an acre of hand, build a house on it, a house with more than one or two rooms, plant fruit trees and shade trees, use some whitewash and paint. And you, women, help your husbands by raising chickens to sell in the market, have one or more pigs, begin the systematics to teach your children, and also teach them your children. Let every body work, for our temperament is largely bound up in our ability to become intelligent producers by work." "I know you have many things to contend with, but you must not let these things overcome you. The individual that gets up in the world is the individual that conquers conditions, that masters his surroundings, not the one who allows conditions to go. Don't get in the habit of going down head, face, a hung down head, just look in the face with the head erect, and you will find that the world will make a place for you." Attending the conference were a large number of visitors from various sections of the state, some engaged in the practice of law, others in business, and all willing to lay aside their work to give a word of encouragement to the farmer brother. Among them were Charles Banka, cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou; I. T. Montgomery, in many respects the most unique Negro character in the United States, an ex-slave of Thomas Jefferson and the founder of Mound Bayou; J. A. Martin, principal of the largest negro city school in the state of Mississippi; President of the Southern Bank of Jackson Green, representative of the Jeans Rural Fund; G. W. Williams, principal of the Extenston School of Crystal Springs; G. C. Cranberry/farmer and teacher, and a large number of others. Intense interest was manifested in all conference work, with exhibits from the departments of horticulture and agriculture, which showed much of the actual work done in these departments. Frank admissions as to their own shortcomings, of the things that constitute of their failures were given by his wife as freely as the proud statement of an acquaintance statements. "I made good money, but I can't got no home because I et it all up," said one man, and yet before that audience he determined to do more for his family and children. Strange to say this man has educated three children who are each holding good positions in southern schools. Another man, Henry Skubblefield, detailed how, after ten years of debt, he covenanted with his, wife that he now works for themselves, and now after work he hard work, has a nice home, 120 acres of land, with all payments up to date and then in simple story their experience were told. The boll weevil, too, has contributed to their misfortunes, but one poor man, in speaking of the situation, declared, "No sr. I n'gine wilt to allow de boll weevil or de white folks to run me away from my farm." Another man, Thomas Young, confessed that long time he wanted to save $600.00 before he would open a bank account, when he finally paid his senses, he began an account with ten dollars and now has a 311 acre farm worth on an average of ten dollars an acre. Strong and forcible resolutions were adopted by the entire conference in which the entire state of Mississippi was congratulated for the agricultural development, with particular reference to the era of good feeling now prevailing between the black people pledged themselves to the best host influences for the best host of these relations. Continuing, the resolutions said: "We regret that the good name of our state is still blackened occasionally by the frightful work of an uncontrolled mob. We are aware that the better element of the white race is one with us in the wish that this fact was different, but in spite of our combined wishes, it remains the dark spot on our horizon. We implore, in all our arm of the law to see it that the statutes are respected by white as well as black, rich as well as poor. "We further congratulate the state upon the abolishment of the legal sale of intoxicating liquors within our borders. The good effects of the law are now clearly seen. We pledge ourselves to render any assistance we can to the officers of the law to prevent the illegal sale of liquors in our various localities. This reference to Negro crime the resolution were particularly severe. That there is to disposition the part of the wage eeper the property owner, and the substantial Negro is fully shown in these emphatic words: "We urge our people to harbor no criminals, to see to it that the "pistol toter" is reported, that all lawlessness is put away from us as far as possible. We would suggest that the leader of our people in every community, get in touch with the leaders of the criminals, and be as possible, help them in the enforcement, just laws of the land, co-operate with them in any movement which looks to the improvement of the people in any way." "We can not too earnestly entreat you to become the proud possessor of a bank book. Open an account with your local bank if you have no more than a dollar. The habit of possessing a bank account will help you just as the habit of being poor will help you. Both are valuable. You will increase with your bank account, and your self-respect will increase with your bank account. "As a parting word we want to warn our people that prosperity and happiness can never come to us until we learn to work twelve months of the year instead of eight as the average farmer does. Let us mend days on all lines, and make a tremendous effort to lift ourselves up." FORMER SHERIFF DAVIS Will Test Law Under Which Govern or Denege Ousted Him. Cairo, Ill.

States Did Not Act He Urges Legislature to Pass Aa Amendment Disfranchising Negroes As Such and Leave It to the Supreme Court. Baltimore, Jan. 19.—William L. Marbury, a Democratic lawyer of this city wants the Democrats to pass a law disfranchising the colored veterans of Maryland as such. He declares that there is some doubt in his mind as to whether the fifteenth amendment was ever adopted, and that he is willing to run the risk of the killing of his proposed Negro disfranchising scheme to the United States Supreme court, says that the question of the validity of the fifteenth amendment has never been passed upon-though its existence has been manifested in the highest court in the land. The Supreme Court seldom reverses a stand once taken one notable reversal being its subsequent nullification of the opinion of Chief Justice Taney in the Dred Scott case to wit: that "a Negro had no status as a white man was bound to respect." It may be added that Hon. Charles J. Bonaparte Roosevelt's Attorney general, declared in a speech during the recent campaign that the "revised" constitutions in the southern states were adopted by fraud and force and that there was some doubt as to the validity of the "grandfather clauses." Estella Cummings, a sister of City Councilman Harry S. Cummings, and Mr. Joseph C. Fennell were principals in a fashionable church wedding last Wednesday evening. The bride was a teacher in the city schools for a number of years. The officers for the ensuing six months in the various local lodges of the Knights of Pythias were formally installed last Friday night. The installation was conducted by Grand Chancellor George A. Watty, assisted by Past Grand Chancellor Lewis A. Williams and Josiah L. Diggs. The interdenominational ministerial Alliance at its monthly meeting Monday will be taking for plans for a new hospital for Provident Hospital which is controlled by the local colored physicians. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE Will Furnish Model for Schools in Liberia and Natives will be Much Benefitted, Thinks Lyon. Baitimore, Jan. 19.—Dr. Ernest Lyon, who returned from Tuskegee Institute a few days ago, where he had a conference with Dr. Booker T. Washington and Bishop I. B. Scott, filling the educational conditions, helped establish a normal school modeled on Tuskegee lines will be established in Liberia. "The establishment of such a school," says Dr. Lyon, "under the guidance of Tuskegee Institute will be an inestimable benefit to the Liberians and I am sure the Liberians will be pleased with the prospective school." Dr. Lyon, who is in this country on a furlough, is now awaiting instructions from the State Department regarding the attitude of the country toward Liberia. PRESIDENT TAFT AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY. To Dedicate the Magnificent Library March 10. Dr. Thirkield and Faculty Will Make Occasion (Thompson's National News Bureau.) Washington, D. C., Jan. 20 President Wilbur Patterson Thirkield, the Indefatigable Chief Executive of Howard University, has secured a promise from President Taft that the latter will be present and deliver papers on the occasion of the dedication of the magnificent Carnegie Library, the date of which has been set for March 10. President Thirkield, the faculty and student-body are happy over the outlook and it is announced that no pains will be spared to make the day a red-letter event in the history of the institution. The Carnegie Library is a beautiful structure, colonial in design, facing eastward just north of the main entrance of the University grounds. Its size and the size amount was donated by Andrew Carnegie with the remark that he felt that there never was a sum of money more profitable extended. Many volumes and choice pictures have already been donated to the Library by friends of the school, and the council of upper classmen have agreed to furnish two ornamental lamps for the port cochere of the building at a cost of $100 each. Hundreds of visitors from abroad and members of the Howard Alumni Association are expected to be present on March 10 to witness this significant dedication. FURTHER OF RACE PROGRESS SHOWN BY MASSACHUSETTS SHOK- MAKING FIRM. Sends a Representative South to So- licit Orders for Fred Doug- las Shoe Made in Negro Factory by Negro Operat ves. Nashville, Jan. 17.—Special—Owing to the delay of a few of the applicants in submitting their bids for the Negro State Normal, the Board of Education will probably extend the time limit which was January 15. Some of the smaller locations of the state have given bids while Nashville, Chattanooga and Memphis are still preparing to submit bids. Hortense a little town whose population is 10,000 farmers made a bid of $655 according to the words of the State Superintendent of Education R. L. Jones there is no reason why Nashville should not have the normal when a village like Hortense exhibited so much real desire for the school. He said that the people of Nashville face to face with 100,000 oppressors which it must soon grasp or leap by. Is Nashville to remain the Athens of the "Black South"? Sunday evening January 9th, the large grandstand at Greenwood park was destroyed by fire, involving a loss estimated at $6,000 with no insurance. The park is owned by Presson Taylor, the well-known undertaker and is not surpassed in natural beauty by many parks held by Negroes. The origin of the fire is unknown and several theories have been advanced to explain the mystery. During the winter months, the buildings are only watched, both on actual and semi-isolation and the lack of water and fire-fighting facilities; insufficiency can have repeatedly rebounded to its previous app on the property. In addition to the burning of the grandstand there were many other buildings endangered, including a well-clipped club house, a theatre, a skating rink, a merry-go-round and several stables. It is generally hoped that the grandstand will soon be rebuilt. The One Cent Majors Bank hold the annual meeting of the stockholders Monday evening January 10. The report of the president, R. H. Boyd, for the past fiscal year was heard and officers were elected for the ensuing period. The address of the meeting was hopeful encouragement and with the confidence of success. He said that although the bank did no advertising the books showed a clearing of nearly $800,000 and that this was due largely to the care that was exercised in handling the deposits. He grew sanguine in his expectation of a million dollar clearing for the coming year. The president was adopted unanimously and the port of the cashier, J. C. Napier was received. Mr. Napier offered resolutions of sympathy for Preston Taylor, who sustained a great loss in the burning of the grandstand at Greenwood Park, and these were adopted. Dr. C. H. Clark was elected a direct officer after the adjournment of the stockholder meeting the board of directors went to the meeting all the officers. President, R. H. Boyd; vice president, J. W. Bostick; cashier, J. C. Napier; teller, C. N. Langton. Dr. C. V. Roman, the noted eye, ear, nose and throat specialist left Tuesday morning for Tuskegee Institute. He went on professional business and to attend the farmers' conference. Dr. Roman has a national reputation as a specialist and surgeon, possessing all the accurate skill and delicate precision that contributes success and compels recognition in his work with the fern organs of the frog. He past few years he has visited Tuskegee University equally, and is no stranger to the faculty and students who have enjoyed the radiance of his scholarly personality during his stay at the school. Evidence that the Negro is placing himself upon an economic basis and that he is making himself of economic value to his fellowman is fast aggregating itself. One of the proofs of this statement was the visit of William Carrill, the Berchil, Mass., to this city last week. Mr. Carrill came as a representative of the Fred Douglas Shoe Company with the purpose of obtaining orders for his firm. It is a great source of pleasure to know that one of the largest shoe houses of Nashville gave a large order for spring shoes, promising that the footwear of the historically carried in stock if the Negro Nashville would create a demand for it. The shoe is manufactured at Haverhill, Mass., by a Negro company whose stock is more than $10,000. When complete the shoe has passed through the hands of seventy workmen, who are mainly Negroes. Mr. Merler has visited the leisure cities of the United States for library and is to be commanded for library and is accustomed and thrift in entering such a field, and he should obtain the lasting support of his people. The annual meeting of the Ohio State League of Republican Clubs, which will be held in Dayton on Lincoln's birthday, will be made the occasion for a big "harmony conference" in which the party leaders of every shade of opinion will be asked to take part. The Church and the Lodge WORK HAND IN HAND IN UP- LIFTING THE RACE AND AIR NOT INIMICAL Lodge Takes Lead In Charitable Work, Says Rev. E. P. Jones, Grand Master of Masons in Boston, Grand Master of Java Spent Thousands of Dollars Windows and Destitute Members, (Horace D. Slatter.) Vicksburg, Miss., Jan. 17.—A disdistinguished prelate in one of the Negro Methodist Organizations, a few days ago severely arranged Negro secret and fraternal orders, declaring that in his opinion they were the worst enemies of the church. In support of his opinion he cited certain facts which he declaimed showed that individuals who were at the same time lodge and church members would invariably neglect their church work to favor the lodge. In contradiction of this view comes the Rev. Dr. E. P. Jones who is one of the most prominent ministers of the south and declares that instead of being an enemy to the church the one strong arm, for he claims is the least amount of benevolent and charitable work as any one strong and well regulated secret order. "Why," he exclaims, "no man is admitted to a secret order who does not admit he believes in the Supreme Ruler of the universe, and in all our ceremonies, guidance and support is required. We note example note the men who are at the head of all our strong organizations. They are not only strong men, men of character and unquestioned integrity, but they are men who are like identified with religious and educational institutions. The strongest and most earnest craftsmans, make the most earnest and devoted christians and vice versa." Incidentally, it might be remarked that the Rev. Mr. Jones knows what he is talking about. He is the head of what to all intents and purposes is the largest and strongest fraternal organization in the country. The Grand United Order of Old Fellows for the Jurisdiction of Mississippi, through its financial arm, the Old Fellows Association, does more charitable work, spreads more sunshine, relieves more widows and orphans in their distress than any other one organization. Now, who is at the head of this organization? Surely no one could accuse Dr. Jones for being any less a church man because of his connection with this order. Those who know of his connection with the State Baptist Convention and how zealously he works for the cause of Christ on all occasions would surely understand that he is actuated to move in this direction more for the actual good he is able to accomplish than for any other reason. The Rev. Mr. McKissack, the secretary and treasurer of the association is perhaps the most ornamental laymen in all the conferences of colored Methodist Episcopal Church and for years he has held an important position at Rust University at Holly Springs. Now for the actual work this organization is doing. During the past year alone Prof. McKissick paid out over $250,000.00 to Odd Fellow beneficaries. A quarter of a million dollars paid out in one year to the wild orphans in the state of Mississippi in the state of Mississippi, save homes from redeem mortgages, save homes from construction, relieve want and misery and educate the children. During the past ten years during the existence of the order more than a million dollars have been paid out in just this way. Now the Odd Fellows are paying the largest endowment of any organization of its kind and the surplus in connection with the conduct of this commouth concern, is that the businesses have an expense of less than 5per cent. Dr. Jones is also Supreme Master of the United Reformers, an organization of which he is founder. It was organized and chartered in the state of Mississippi in 1903, during the administration of Governor Longine. There were those who honored that the advent of the new organization in the field that was then well occupied as necessary and who predicted for it complete failure. Dr. Jones clearly thought that the field was broad enough and that there was plenty of room for another organization, the purpose of which was to benefit mankind, to open up new avenues for his development as well as to relieve suffering. To create a brotherly spirit to teach the value of pure and upright lives and to ensure the material condition of its members the primary purposes of this organization. Whether it has succeeded or not can be ascertained in a very short while. In the six years of its existence it has paid out to widows and orphans, who had claims upon its benevolent department, nearly $100,000.00 and the record of the past will show a total of more than $250,000.00 to its widows and orphans. The mankind of a well directed educational institution in the United Reformers and the Widows' and Orphans' Homes by the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows are methods that these two organi- WIR ADVOCATE ADVERTISMENTS PLACED OUR COLUMNS BRING SUITS.

The delegates will convene the forthcoming of the Blenheim Moseley College at Baltimore this year. Further preciation of Dr. Jones service. The order was manifested by the presentation of a beautiful silver service. LARGE AMOUNT Is Recommended to be Appropriated for Negro Charitable and Educational Institutions. Baltimore, Jan. 19. - The Board of State Aid and Charities has recommended to the legislature that $44,000 be appropriated during the next two years for colored charitable and educational institutions. This includes $20,000 the Provident Hospital in this city. Rt. Rev. John Gardner Murray coadjutor bishop of Maryland conferred a class of 25 at St. James Protestant Episcopal church Sunday morning. Rev. Dr. George F. Bragg is of the church. City Commissioner Harry S. Cummings is recovering from an attack of neuritis. OF THE WEST VIRGINIA SEMINA RY AND COLLEGE, SAYS THE PRESIDENT. To Complete Building and Fence Property, and Plan is Proposed to Raise Funds by a State-wide Rally on or Before May 25th. A Born cast of the commencement Exercises. The West Virginia Seminary Trustee Board met in the Seminary High School building, Hilltop, Monday January 10th, at 7 p. m. The meeting was well represented, quite harmonious and much important business was transacted. One of the speeches of the meeting was to plan for funds to purchase a building, roof, to put in doors, windows, floors, and finish up some parts of it so that we can begin to make use of it. No one but the teachers and students know how exceedingly pressing this need is, and how great have been the privations and difficulties under which we have been compelled to work since the fire. Then there is the need to a considerable part of the farm which pressingly needed. It must be done soon lost our plans for the spring and summer cropping will be greatly interfered with. The trustees unanimously voted to request in the most earnest way possible of the people of the entire state to hold a grand and telling rally for the Seminary on the fifth Sunday in May, that is May 29. Beginning now they have resolved to raise by and with rally time in way of an all over the state rally for $2000. This is the plan: First, to request one hundred persons to subscribe and to pay into the bank at Oak Hill, Wa. before or by May 29th, at least $10 each. Second, to urge two thousand persons to subscribe and pay into the bank at Oak Hill before or by May 29th at least $1 each. Third, to urge one thousand persons to subscribe and pay in the same way at least 50 cents each. Fourth, to request and urge as many as you can, times, Sunday schools and societies taken together to pay in the same way at least $5 each. Begin now and resolve that you will be one in this work and number. Remember, the brick in this building are among the finest ever seen in this part of the world. They are all hard brick and weigh 11 pounds each. One dollar will pay for twenty brick and ten dollars will pay for a window. Everybody ought to resolve to have a school. The commencement exercises and school closing will take place on the 19th and 20th of May. At this time the financial record of all who have sent money to the bank or reported themselves as enrolled in any one of these lists will be read as a part of the program; besides a weekly record will be published in the Advocate. We are planning to run an excursion here, to have a sale of lots lying close around the Seminary farm, to have Prof. D. Weister Davis to lecture one night at the closing of the good and poor schools by the whole school the other night. We are planning for a great and profitable time. We will tell you all about it through the columns of the Advocate as the weeks pass by. Please rally as true hearted souls to the earnest appeal of the trustees for the Seminary. J. M. Arter.

Daniel, Gilbert Jones, Smiley, J. H. Key and Gus Mitchell. All are principally in the grocery business, carrying stock anywhere from $500 to $5000, leading merchants, however, are the Childs Bros., who are not only proprietors of one of the largest groceries in the place, located on Main street in their own building, but they are also confectioners and own the only bakery in town. Twenty-five or thirty years ago their father started their business, and the soils have continued to rise since, without any competition. They likewise ran a truck patch, of two which they sold $500 worth of plants last spring and $500 worth of cabbage this fall, besides other garden products.

He is the colored person employed there in such a capacity. More than once efforts have been made to displace him for a white mass, but on account of his services being so satisfactory, the authorities of the town have persistently refused to head in the embarkation of the petitioners or to be influenced by the demands of the prejudiced.

President Taft, like his predecessor, President Roosevelt, seems to be determined to keep Congress busy the balance of the session. One of the measures that he is vigorously urging is the enactment of a law for further, more thorough and effective federal control over railroads and other great interstate corporations. The way our railways have been built in the past has produced a great and lasting evil. For instance, when a road is to be built that will cost $50,000,000, a company is organized, and stock is issued to that amount and sold. Out of this $50,000,000 received from the sale of stock, about $45,000,000 goes into the pockets of the promoters, which is nothing more or less than grafting. Then the board of directors has to issue bonds for that $45,000,000 in order to raise money with which to build the road. When the road is completed it must necessarily earn enough money to pay dividends on this $50,000,000 of stock, of which 90 per cent is water, and the interest on the bonds. In order to do this, the railroad has to charge double for the passenger and freight traffic; whereas, if the road had been built honestly, it would only have to pay dividends on the stock, and could of course, transport cheaply. It is the iniquious origin of the railroads of this country that has caused the people to take such violent action against them, and for this antagonism the railroads have no one to blame but thengelves. The state of Texas has developed the best railroad system of laws of any state of the Union. When a railroad is to be built in Texas, the promoters must submit their plans to the railroad commission of that State who will not permit them to issue any larger amount of stock or bonds than is necessary to build the railroad, and when the stock is sold, the proceeds of the sale must be accounted for to the railroad commissioners. If the legislature of every state in the Union had passed as wise laws as the State of Texas, the railroad evil would have been very much less than it is. President Taft wants the Congress to regulate the issuance of all stocks and bonds by railroads which cross state lines, and this will include, of course, every railroad of any importance in the country. Every individual state should see to it that when the Federal authorities take control of railroads and such things, that the authority of each state is undisturbed, so far as controlling the railroads that come within its borders. Senator Root, of New York, former Secretary of State under Mr. Roosevelt, has warned the states of this Union that they should see to it that their rights are not absorbed by the Federal government, but the two should work in harmony with each other. ADVERTISING FAKES Anyone who knows anything at all about the newspaper business readily acknowledges that it is dependent almost wholly upon advertising for its success, yet there is a question if some newspapers are not repudiating in their advertising columns, the objects for which they profess they are being published. In a race journal which lays much stress upon its eternal fight for race elevation there appears an advertisement of a ring for which is claimed marvelous virtues. It is guaranteed to cure chilblain, Bright's disease, smallpox, corns, ingrowing toenails, headache, diabetis, consumption, rheumatism, hiccoughs and a thousand and one other diseases to which flesh is heir. Flub dub, pure and simple, yet a bait that will catch suckers galore. Another paper advertises a magnets needle which has wonderful accuracy in discovering mines and treasures. It is said to have interchangeable parts designed for use in locating the mineral sought for. For example, if you are hunting iron ore, the proper needle will indicate the fact when there is any in the vicinity. If gold is your quest, pin your faith to this truly wonderful needle, which will show where it lies buried in the bowels of the earth. Another dose of bumcob, but many there are who will swallow it without the proverbial grain of salt. Then there are the innumerable hair straighteners and skin bleach advertisement from which but few Negro newspapers are free. These are no less extravagant in their claims and the most of them are equally barren in results. What of the publisher who allows advertisements of this nature to appear in his paper? A few are unscrupulous, many impecunious, but the great majority, to take the most charitable view, are guileless, ignorant of the fact that they are giving publicity to objects or nostrums absolutely without merit and designed to furnish an easy living to some one too lazy to earn an honest living. Ignorance, however, is no excuse for the wrong they do their readers. They are morally responsible for every dollar thrown away for these fakes by those who receive the inspiration from their papers. Do such advertisements pay. INCREASED COST OF LIVING What Booker T. Washington has been preaching for years as the best solution of the problems of the city Negro, has been adopted by some of the best thinkers of the white race as the only means by which a reduction in the cost of living may be brought about; in other words, they advocate the return to the soil as the best, if not the only, solution of the problem of the city white man. It has been the fashion for some years to attribute to the tariff and the trusts the heart-breaking advances in prices of the necessities of life. The thoughtless and, we fear, some who are given credit of having studied the subject have smote the trusts hip and thigh for having raised the cost of living. Truth is at last having a hearing, and the blame is being placed where it really belongs. The productions of food stuffs have not kept up with the demand. Men, lured by the high prices paid for labor in the cities and on public works—mines, railroad construction and the like—have deserted the farms in much larger numbers than others have engaged in agricultural pursuits. When to these are added the hordes of immigrants, nine of whom are consumers of agricultural products to every one who produces, one does not have to go far to find the cause of the evils of which we now so loudly complain. Back to the farm is the only cure but this cannot be effected by legislative enactments, judicial decisions nor executive proclamations. When the people are brought to see, as they soon will be by starvation, if by no other means, that, while the pay might not be as high, farm labor is more remunerative in the long run the cost of living will readjust itself. We will then return to the day of the full dinner pail with a little something left over for house rent. RACE PREJUDICE THWARTED Up in Clarksburg occurred a case of race prejudice thwarted a few days ago deserving more than passing notice. R. P. Boyer a young colored man who had succeeded another of the race as a rural mail carrier was accused by a white man of having destroyed some mail entrusted to his care. Boyer as was brought out in the investigation had resigned the position the day before that on which the offense was said to have occurred, but made the delivery because no one could be found to fill his place. It was also brought out in the investigation that his accuser had said that no Negro should again serve on that route and, seeing Bowyer destroying an old letter addressed to himself, hastened to prefer charges. When such well known men as Postmaster Denham of Clarksburg, former state Senator Harvey Harmer, Virgil A. Highland, secretary of the Republican state executive committee, and the Tin Plate Mill management of Clarksburg were found to be ready to testify in behalf of Bowyer, the prosecution quickly changed front and Bowyer was allowed his freedom without trial on the payment of a nominal fine. His friends urged the compromise upon him as being less expensive than a trial. The prosecuting witness acknowledged his error and Bowyer went forth a free man. New York, it is reported, is soon to fill a long-felt need in the way of a really first class, respectable Negro hostelry. If Washington, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and some others of the large cities would follow suit, sojourn therein would be far more pleasant for the visiting Negro than it now is. The latest dispatches from Washington do not announce the candidacy of anyone for the job held by Cyrus Fields Adams. Is it possible that the job is generally conceded to belong to Cy because of his long tenure? If, as that doctor says, the stomach is not essential to life, there is yet hope for the consumer escaping the increased cost of living, at least so far as eating is concerned. The government is "going after the tobacco trust," says a headline. Some sweet day the government is going to catch up with some trust or other. "In my boyhood happy days down on the farm" is a song which recurs weekly with increasing pathos to the city man settling for his meat and groceries. If Mr. Taft really wants to destroy the trusts, why doesn't he "sick" Jeff Davis on 'em. election will and po through do the smother the smu In select of select will store of all r candidate Existing HUBBARD MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT OF HIS CANDIDACY Congressman William P. Hubbard, of Wheeling, has made formal announcement of his candidacy for the United States senate. The announcement came from Washington last night and is as follows: To the Republicans of West Virginia, "I am a candidate for election to the United States senate by the legislature of West Virginia for the term beginning March 4, 1912, and respectfully solicit your support. The office must then be filled anew. No one owns it, Any one having the constitutional qualifications may aspire to it without becoming factional, and may obtain it, if the people so will, even though some persons may not approve. I aspire to serve West Virginia as one of its senators and shall cheerfully abide the decision of its people with whom alone the decision must rest. Careful inquiry in all parts of the State shows that the great body of republicans desire some change in its representation in the United States senate. Some one ought to make it possible for them to gratify that desire. There are others whose candidacy might well conduce to that end more than my own candidacy. Several such have been consulted and have declared their objection to becoming candidates, but have urged me to do so. There is no serious reason to anticipate conflicting candidacies among those who believe that its present policies, methods and standards would be improved by the election of some one other than the incumbent, whose term will next expire. "Assurances of support have come to me from all elements of the party, from men most representative of those elements and who in the past have differed widely from one another. On the other hand very few of those who have been protesting against objectionable conditions are now to be found favoring one whose election would surely continue those conditions. Members of the legislature have many other important duties besides electing an United States senator. For every reason it is the duty of republicans in the several counties and senatorial districts to manifest their real choice of candidates for the legislature and to assert their right to make such a choice by a method which shall guarantee to every member of the party that his vote will be cast and counted according to his will, and will have the same right as the vote of every other republican. Such a method was recently employed at my suggestion for the selection of a candidate for congress in the First district.

Dr. Linscott for the International Newspaper Bible Study Club Copyright 1909 by Rev. T. S. Linscott, D. D. True Blessedness. Mat. 5:1-16. Golden Text. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. Matt. 5-8. Verses 1, 2. —How much do you remember of the last sermon you heard? To what extent is the modern style of taking a text and preaching a sermon from it, a success as a teaching exercise? Did Jesus use a pedagogical or oratorial style in his addresses, and would it be better for the extension of the Kingdom of God if the modern pulpit would adopt his method? Verse 3. —What, in the last analysis, is the essential qualification of being a subject of the kingdom of heaven on earth? If a person is a subject of the kingdom of heaven on earth what other qualifications are necessary for the kingdom of heaven? Verse 4.—If "blessed" means happy how is it possible to mourn and be happy at the same time? Which christian reaches the highest altitudes of bliss and enjoys the sweetest comforts of God one who has had great sorrow or one who has been free from sorrow, and why is it so? Verse 5.—Give some examples of well-to-do men, and then say which class, as a rule, the best things on earth, the "meek," that is the modest, unselfish and generous, or the boastful, self assertive and selfish? (This question must be answered in writing by members of the club.) Verse 6.—What is your definition of righteousness? What are the conditions for such soul health, and to "thirst and hunger" to be righteous? Is this state --- election. A primary held in a county will give every voter equal rights and power, and a primary held throughout a senatorial district will do the like and will also prevent the smothering of republican votes in the smaller counties of the district. In selecting a nominee that method of selecting legislative candidates will strengthen the purpose and duty of all republicans to vote for those candidates at the general election. Existing laws, regulate such primaries and punish any bribery and fraud which may be committed. "It is the duty of the republican party through its appropriate organizations to get close to the people of that party, to see that their will as to nominees is fairly and justly ascertained and carried out; to see that the best laws and policies for all the people shall be fashioned out of their best sentiments and ideas. Then it will be for every republican cheerfully to abide by the party will so expressed and see that it is loyalty and honestly enforced and it will be for every citizen to uphold, as well as obey, the laws and policies which may be so fashioned toward the end I hope to aid.

THIS IS MY 43RD BIRTHDAY (Bishop Nuelson ) Bishop John L. Nuelson, of the Methodist Episcopal church, was born in Zurich, Switzerland, January 19, 1567. He is the son of the Rev. Henry Nuelson, who was sent from America to Germany as one of the founders of Methodism in that country. Bishop Nuelson was graduated from Drew Theological Seminary in 1890 and later studied at the University of Berlin. He entered the Western German conference, became pastor at Sedalia, Mo., and was afterward transferred to the Northern German conference. He was made professor of ancient languages at St. Paul's College, in Minnesota, and later became professor of theology in Central Wesleyan College at Warrenton, Mo. In 1899 he was made professor of theology in Nast Theological Seminary, at Berea, Ohio, which position he held until he became a bishop last year. In 1501 Dr. Nuelson served as one of the American delegates to the Ecumenical conference in London. under the control of every man's will? If a person really desires it, may he be sure of being "filled with righteousness," that is of being perfectly right with God? Verse 7. — From the suggestion of this verse, if a person is not merciful, what does that indicate as to his standing with God? If a man has been grievously injured, and we find out he has fully forgiven his enemy, what does that indicate as to the man's standing with God? Verse 8. — Are there those who always have a perpetual vision of God, and what conditions do they observe to keep the experience? What does it imply to be pure in heart, and may all attain that experience? What was Jesus' experience as to his realization of the constant presence of God? Verse 9.—Mention some reasons which you think would justify a Christian in being a plaintiff in a law suit? What is to be a "peace maker" after the pattern that Jesus here means? Verses 10-12.—Are really good people persecuted in these days because of their goodness? Why did the religionists of those days persecute Jesus, and finally put him to death? Verses 13-16.—Of what use in the world is a so-called cold Christian? Can a person be a real Christian who is not aggressively engaged in doing good. Why or why not?

The situation is said to look brighter ut this time than at any previous period in the history of (he “celebrated case." A pathetic scene was enacted in the court the other day, in which the chairman, Gen. S. BR. M. Young and a colored private, John Kirkpatrick, were the principal actors. Kirkpat- rick had come on from Chicago, where he has been living for a year or more, going there shortly after his discharge from the service. He moypted the stand to give his testi- mony touching the Brownsville “shoot-up.’" As he proceeded, it was noticed that the veteran general watched him quizzically, as if trying to recall something that had almost passed from memory. An incident in the recital of his personal history brought the missing page, and Gen- eral Young recognized in ‘Kirkpat: rick a faithful servitor in his regt- ment during tho most oxciting..crigis in. the Spanish-American -war, There was an exchange of greetings and reminiscences, and as’ the witness retired from the court room, kind- hearted General Young followed him to the door.

Reviewing the splendid opportunities that lie in the pathway of the Negro youth of Washington, where the col- ored population Is upward of 100,- 000, and pointing out Its magniticent schools, churches and widening in- dustrial and professional. vista, Mr. Lankford made the declaration’ that with the learned lawyers, doctors, educators, artisans, merchants, jour- nalists, ‘ministers, manufacturers, architects and builders hereabouts, “the Negroes living within a radius of one hundred miles of the capitol could build and operate a town the size of Washington without the aid of any white man.” Mr. Lankford's address was vigor- ously discussed by Rev.
