Metropolis Weekly Gazette

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE RICHARD J. BARR of Joliet, Illinois For Attorney General Hon. Richard J. Barr, is a leading attorney in Northern Illinois, and one of the largest farmers and stock raisers in Illinois. He served as State Senator for several terms and is in every way fitted for the office of Attorney General. He is broadminded and kind hearted, a man for the place. The editor of The Gazette, has been in close touch with the Senator for several years having been committee clerk and, 3rd assistant enrolling and egressing clerk of the Senate and had to serve the committees of which he was chal man, and found in Senator Barr, a man worthy of the confidence and support of my people. The Negroes will have no just cause to comb in should he be nominated and elected as is so often the case when we elevate men to office. The above article is unsolicited on his part or on the part of any of his friends, but we write this because we feel the time has come for Negroes to vote for men that have shown that they believe in justice to the race. The jim crow Negro never ha and never will amount to much he like "the before the war white olks" netro telling all he know and oft-times more to get a biscuit or to be called a good "nigger." He never sees anything good in his own Race, he either wants to be a white man or with and patronizing white concerns to the detriment of his own Race enterprises, thus forging the chains of race discriminations tighter and tighter on the account of some fancied wrong to just be called a good "nigger." The business and intelligent white man admires and has confidence in a negro who stands up for his people and tries to bring them upon the plane of tight thinking and acting especially in the business and commercial work The Jim crow negro, is one who is running after white Cafe's shows and other places of amusements and business enterprises when he is told that he is not wanted, if not by word by providing separate accommodations or charging him double for the same thing sold to a white man, and still the little Jim crow negro is running after him and saying, "I want to buy rom you," while at the same time there are negroes with the same thin and would be even glad to serve you for less money.

EMMERSON Mt. Vernon, Illinois, Candidate for Republican Nomination for SECRETARY OF STATE East St. Louis Tribune: 'From Cairo to Galena the universal expression of informed Republicans is that Lou Emmerson, will have as lurge a majority in the September primary as the late James $A. Rose had in his fast primary contest, and it will be no surprise to see him carry 65 per cent of the counties of the state 'No man in the state deserves more of the party than Lou Emmerson: he has labored long and faithfully for its success: has been true to it in every adversity and never justly rewarded in its time of prosperity.' Harvard Herald, McHenry County: "Four years years ago L. L. Emmerson of §Mt. Veruon sought the nomination for state treasurer but was defeated by the present occupant of that office. Defeat did not sour nor dishearten him and he loyally supported his successful rival, and at this time he finds an asset of positive help in his action of four years ago. Lou Emmerson, as he is most tamifiarly known among his many friends in every section of Illinois, is both deserving and capable gentleman and is well qualified for the office of Secretary of State." Dixon Telegraph, Lee County "Wheu the state Republican ticket is selected you will find that Louis L. Emmerson of Mt. Vernon is one of the strongest men on the ticket. Lou Emmerson is one of the kind of men whom the Republicans are proud to support He is a high class honotable gentleman." Times Recard, Aledo, Mercer County; "L. L. Emmerson is one of the finest and most capable Republicans in Illinois. His friends may well claim for him a clean private and public life and can frankly go on record in an nouncing that he would make an ideal Secretary of State." The Illinois Tradesman of Springeld, the Labor World of Decatur, the Labor Advocate of Quincy, the Lahor News of Rockford, and other labor papers and journals, have investigated Mr. Emmerson's record and pronounce him absolutely "Fair" to organized labor, have endorsed and are supporting his candidacy for Secretary of State.

LATHAM Candidate for Nomination for Senator Latham lives at Eldorado, Saline County Ill., a large Republican county. Southern Ill.. is entitled to the second place on the Republican ticket for a state office and the Senator is the man for the place. He is able and his stand for the Republican principles entities him to the votes of the party. He is a real american. Best of all, he is a clean man, honest and a man of the people. He stands for prosperity making policies and the full protection of every american citizen and interest for social justice and for the Republican national platform in full. He is not an orator, but he is a man of masterful force. He knows how to accomplish things. He is a successful Physician, but has studied law. He made his own success, and therefore knows how success is made. No man has ever accused him of unfair or illegitimate business principles. He is a friend of the common people and has a warm spot in his heart for the colored people because of their fairness to him and their struggles to over-throw their environments which have been potent factors to hold them down. He was elected two years ago by a good majority on the Republican ticket for State Senator from the 51st Senatorial district. Let us nominate him for our next Lieut Governor. HODGES PARK. Bro. Editor: Having been informed that the Association will meet at Colps. Of the additional expense of said meeting I wish to say to the sisters of the Mt. Olive W. E. & M. Convention that we will have to get busy. We hope that each pastor in the District will encourage the women of their several churches to take interest in the work as we cannot know until the annual meeting what the committee on location will do. Let us come up to the meeting praying for success and stand together as a unit. For together we stand and divided we fall. I am praying that we will be united in oneness with one purpose and we can look with pride on a building erected in name The Livingston Normal Industrial Institute in the near future. Let us not lag in the work on the account of small obstacles but perseverance till the end if we do not work we cannot reap: What we sow we shall reap, and whatever we mete out shall be meted to us. Household Philosopher Household Philosopher. "Strange what a difference there is," said the household philosopher, "between things we need and things we want.

WHO'S GOT THE MONEY In Four Staples Alone the Farmers of Western Canada Produced 408 Million Dollars in 1915. The Calgary (Alberta) printers have a house organ, called "The Magnet," and in its columns a few weeks ago appeared an article entitled "Who's Got the money?" It was cleverly written, and but for its length, the writer have been pleased to have copied the article in its entirety. The purpose for which this article is published, however, that of letting the readers of the paper know of the great progress that is being made in agriculture in Western Canada, will be served by copying a portion of the article. Many of the readers of this paper doubtless have friends in one of the three provinces—Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, and they will be interested in feeling that their friends are enjoying a portion of the wealth that has come to Western Canada farmers as a result of careful tilling of a soil prodigal in everything that goes to make good grain, cattle, horses, hogs and sheep. Reproducing from the article: The Government does not produce money. It can stamp "One Dollar" on a slip of white paper, and we accept it at a dollar's worth, but neither the paper nor the printing are worth a copper. What gives it value is the promise of the people of Canada which stands behind the printed slip, and our faith in that promise. Now do you know who's got the money? Let us put it into figures. The farmers of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba last year raised $42,948,000 bushels of wheat. If we take for an average 85 cents a bushel in Manitoba, 81 cents in Saskatchewan, and 79 cents in Alberta the season's wheat crop was worth $280,629,000. Add to this an oat crop of $334,840 bushels, worth $55,457,000; a barley crop of 35,254-200 bushels, worth $15,871,000, and a flax crop of 10,559 bushels worth $15,843,000, and you find that on these four staples alone the farmers of Western Canada produced a wealth of $407,800,000. Please note that this wealth is in money. It is not in real estate at inflated values, industrial stocks that are half water and the rest air, fictitious goodwills or unsaleable merchandise. It is in hard cash, or—which is better—hard wheat. These figures are only for the staple grain productions. They do not include the millions of dollars represented by the live stock and dairying industries, or the additional millions included in the root, fruit, and garden crops. The creameries of Saskatchewan, for instance produced more buttermilk and ice cream-last year than their total production amounted to six years ago. The milk, butter, and cheese production of Alberta for 1915 was valued at over eleven million dollars. The potato crop of the three provinces was worth five millions and a half. Corn and alfalfa—comparatively new crops, charged with tremendous possibilities—amounted to over a round million. Even honey—you didn't know we raised honey (the bee kind) in this country, did you? Manitoba produced 105,000 pounds in 1915, and there isn't a bee in the province that doesn't swear he's a better honey-sorter than anything in California or Washington. That's where the money is; in the jeans of our honest friend the farmer, who was too slow to get into the cities when the rest of us saw short-cuts to wealth; who hadn't imagination enough to think a man can make money without earning it, and who was too dull to know that hard work is foolish. Well, he has the laugh now. Likewise the money.—Advertisement. And those chaps who think that they ought to get pay for being good probably wouldn't draw much of a salary at that.

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL. Genius Is Useless Unless Backed by Real Energy By DUDLEY CRAFTS WATSON Director Milwaukee Art Institute world are the successful ones, and the Downright laziness on their own part whisperings of those who have failed, ment. I may have an altogether impossible man finds the many experiences which specially true in the art world, the technic, architecture and acting can be the real art which is to inspire the use in a worthy result, can only be gained by experience. older with ambitions, whether he has genius who does not have the ability to cry. When the genius is also a worker, no genius, lazy, ever became anythingathy of his friends, the love of a few rest of the world, and when he dies world says: "Oh, how sad, such a beau-unappreciated by the world, which arms." Laziness is the major trouble. The only happy people in the world are the successful ones, and the successful ones are the workers. Downright laziness on their own part is not only the chief reason for the whimperings of those who have failed, but is the root of their lack of judgment. A person may be dead wrong, may have an altogether impossible viewpoint, but good, hard labor soon finds the many experiences which bring sound judgment. This is especially true in the art world, the technique of painting, sculpture, music, architecture and acting can be imparted from teacher to pupil, but the real art which is to inspire the use of this knowledge and to bring forth a worthy result, can only be gained through an esthetic background, or by experience. I will bank upon a stolid plodder with ambitions, whether he has much genius or not, ahead of any genius who does not have the ability to concentrate, and a ceaseless industry. When the genius is also a worker, he absolutely becomes a master, but no genius, lazy, ever became anything but an exotic fop winning the sympathy of his friends, the love of a few more weaklings and the scorn of the rest of the world, and when he dies in poverty and without honor, the world says: "Oh, how sad, such a beautiful spirit, and wonderful genius unappreciated by the world, which should have received him with open arms." Laziness is the major trouble. Now They're Sorry. Harvard students no longer use that hackeyed phrase, "I beg your pardon." The new idea is "I'm sorry." Harvard men dread being answered, preferring to do all the talking themselves. For that reason nowadays when they step on the hat of an unutored Bostonese in the course of their gambols they invariably admit that they are sorry and let it drop right there. "I'm sorry," comes from England via France via Chicago, which learned it from New York. Some New Ways of Getting Best of That Tricky Memory. The old method of tying a string about the finger to recall to mind some task to be done at a certain time has been done away with. The new way is to transfer a ring from one finger to another. On the accustomed finger the ring feels natural and does not cause annoyance, but on any other finger it slightly irritates. This irritation constantly will aid in recalling the task to be done. Just try it once. Another and more novel way is to carry a colored ribbon in the cont pocket. Suppose, now, you are in your office. Your wife phones you to be sure and bring home a certain thing. Go to your coat hanging on the office rack, take out the ribbon, and tie it tightly around a sleeve. At night when you start to go home your fist will jam itself against the tie sleeve. "Oh, yes," you will say to yourself, "there's that cough sipup Molly told me to be sure and bring home tonight," and off you will go at once to make the purchase. POULTY POINTERS Dispose of all the old stock you do not need. This had best be done now, while prices are good and before the annual molt starts. The feeding of milk to young chicks has a most favorable influence on the growth and on lessening the mortality. It tends to prevent mortality from all causes, and if fed soon enough and for a sufficiently long period greatly reduces the death rate caused by bacillary white diarrhea. An open-front poultry house is better than too much glass, even in our cold northern climate. The hot weather is already giving the plumage a rusty appearance, and it will grow worse from now on until molting time. Keep the chicks free from lice; keep them growing, for every little attention tells and brings nearer the coveted blue ribbon. A splendid mixture for laying hens is equal parts of cracked corn, wheat and oats, which should be scattered in the litter. Be sure to give plenty of water and see that the chickens, both large and small, have plenty of green food. If your yards do not have plenty of grass, try dividing the runs and sowing part to rye or rape. Anyone who loves flowers is apt to love birds, also. No doubt this is a product of mutual tastes, because the better kinds of birds, like the better kinds of humans, love gardens. At any rate, birds and gardens go together, just as naturally as apple pie and cheese. Living objects in a garden always enhance the interest, and, besides that, the birds may be of real use. They get their daily bread chiefly from the insects which the gardener counts as his worst enemies. Wherefore let us set down the problem of how to attract the birds as one of the natural branches of gardening.—Woman's Home Companion. ```markdown ``` Outdoor Living Brings Health From Babyhood to Old Age. By SAMUEL G. DIXON, M. D. Commissioner of Health, Pennsylvania God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul.—Genesis. Air is life; without it man ceases to live. Living in impure air, his health gradually depreciates and he becomes a dyspeptic, predisposed to tuberculosis and other diseases. Often after suffering for years, during which time he is unable to enjoy the good things of life, he meets an untimely death. gradually depreciates and he becomes a dyspeptic, predisposed to tuberculosis and other diseases. Often after suffering for years, during which time he is unable to enjoy the good things of life, he meets an untimely death. The majority of us have to work in offices and buildings artificially heated during the cold season. Our places in which we spend so many hours during the winters and early spring days are far from having perfect ventilation. This therefore is the reason for us all to take advantage of mild weather conditions to get all the fresh air possible to build our physical bodies up so as to resist the unfavorable conditions we must submit to during the cold months of the year. This should apply to all ages, especially including babyhood and on up to old age. It means outdoor living as much as possible both day and night. When compelled to be in buildings keep the windows up; otherwise you have dead pockets of air in your rooms at your homes and place of occupation. Clean, well aired, homes built so as to admit of plenty of fresh air all the year around and outdoor living as much as possible during the summer, will do much to bring health to the home and just in proportion to your health your life will be worth living.

According to Hugh Jennings, the Detroit manager, who had several years' experience with the subject of this sketch, back of that famous smile of Wild Bill Dognovan there was a mighty "fighting" disposition. "Bill has lost his smile on any number of occasions," says Hughie. "I can recall numerous instances when the Tigers were fighting for the pennant in the years 1907, 1908, 1909, that Bill frowned quite as often as did any of the rest of us. "For several weeks in the season of 1907 the Tigers were in front, but they couldn't gain on the Macken. Then came a series with Cleveland. Just NY YO "Wild Bill" Donovan. prior to the Tiger-Nap engagement the Cleveland team had played three games with the Athletics and had used second-string pitchers. When Detroit showed up the Naps had Joss, Rhoades, Moore, Hess and Bernhard ready and we were beaten in three games. "After the third game I spent a few minutes jawing with Addie Joss. Bill joined us and right afterward Rhoades lipped in. Then Doc Payne, the Cleveland trainer, inserted his voice. This was too much for Bill. "Turning toward Payne, he yelled: "Now, you get out of this argument—and stay out. I know you have a reputation as a fighter, but either show something now or get on your way." "Payne left." Wise and Otherwise. Wise is he who has the cage ready for the bird. Old age commands respect—except in jests and poultry. If you can get a horse at a bargain—drive the bargain. The worst man is sometimes capable of giving the best advice. When a fool is angry he opens his mouth and closes his eyes. The rich are able but not liberal; the poor are liberal but not able.

A unique fan contains a receptacle in the handle which contains perfume, which is diffused through the surrounding atmosphere as the fan is manipulated. We can be great by helping one another, We can be loved for very simple deeds, Who has the grateful mention of a brother Has really all the honor that he needs. We can be famous for our works of kindness, Fame is not born alone of strength or skill, It sometimes comes from deafness and from blindness To petty words and faults and loving still. We can be rich in gentle smiles and sunny, A jeweled soul exceeds a royal crown, The richest men sometimes have little money, And Croesus oft's the poorest man in town. —Edgar A. Guest in Detroit Free Press? TRUE AT THE LAST Wolf-Dog Deserted Master, But Still Loved Him. He had been called Wolf since puppyhood. He stood nearly forty inches, with a small ragged, rail-like body, and unusually long legs that ended in great, soft, padilike feet. Jack Stern, Steve Wormell's partner, used to say that the dog could not turn round in their "two-by four" cabin without knocking over the table and chairs and seriously endangering the stove and other furniture. One evening, as Steve and Jack sat playing a game of cribbage in their ranger cabin, a wolf howled lugubriously from the mountain side. After a moment came the answer; then another caught up the call, and another, until the lonesome wall echoed from mountain top. Suddenly there came a howl, nearer and more deep-throated. Stern opened the door. "Come here, Steve!" he said, and the ranger stepped to his side. On a small, treeless mound, not far from the cabin, sat Wolf. He was squatting on his haunches, with his nose pointed toward the sky, while from his throat came a cry quite unlike his usual howl. "It's the call of his fathers, Steve," said Jack. "Some day you'll have no dog; he'll be gone with the pack." Steve laughed at the idea. He had brought Wolf, an awkward, bench-legged puppy, out to the ranger cabin in a sack; the dog had always been faithful and contented with his lot. But one morning in the spring Wolf was missing. At first Steve clung to the hope that Wolf would return when the "running" season was over. He had heard of dogs doing that. But spring merged into summer, and summer into fall, yet the dog did not come back. Then they began to hear that Wolf had been seen running at the head of a small band of wolves, although they never found a man who had actually seen him. About Christmas time, when the snow was deeper than for many winters past, prowling bands of wolves began to come down near the camp. One day Steve found that a large bull elk had been killed within a mile of camp. Signs of the struggle were to be seen for a hundred yards round. Near the scattered bones of the elk were the disembowled remains of two wolves. A little farther along a young cow elk had fallen beneath the fangs of the mountain bandits. And at each kill Steve found a large track, twice the size of that made by a common wolf. When the snow had crusted so that it would bear up the weight of a man, Steve threw his ride across his arm and walked over to the breaks of the Grande Ronde. He was nearing the broken lands when the sound of a running pack came to his ears. A moment later a small band of wolves, perhaps fifteen in number, burst from the timber, running toward him. And at their head ran Wolf. The ranger forgot his danger. He cried, "Wolf, don't you know me?" The sound of his voice brought the great dog to a standstill, and the pack stopped with him. Nose in the air, sides aquiver, he stood a moment; then, with a low bay of recognition, he sprang toward his one-time master. The pack, evidently mistaking their leader's intention, likewise rushed at Steve. And the next instant, with his gun clubbed, he was in the midst of a snarling, snapping mass of famine-crazed wolves. When Jack arrived on the scene he found Steve sitting in the snow, with the shaggy head of Wolf pillowed in his lap. Around him, with their mango pelts torn and bloody, lay half a dozen dead-wolves. The ranger's clothing was torn to shreds and one arm and leg were a mass of cuts and gashes; but there were tears in his eyes. "He fought for me, Jack," he said, pressing the stiffening lids over the glazed eyes of the dead hound. "He gave his life for me. How he fought! And against his own blood, too. Yonder lies one of his own pups. Why shouldn't I love him?"—Youth's Companion. What. Indeed! It was a very serious conversation that was overheard by a number of passengers of a street car the other night. Two young girls of the "giddy" type were conversing about the possibilities of the United States getting into trouble with Mexico. "Well, I certainly would hate to see all the American soldiers down into Mexico," one girl said. "Why?" her companion inquired. "Because, while the soldiers were down in Mexico what would prevent the Europeans from coming over here and getting us girls?"—Columbus (O.) Dispatch. Price of Boll Weevils.

"What have you to say for yourself, Peter Cooper Haggs?" demanded the judge. "What were you hiding from—the court must know!"

LOUIS, NO. 31-1916. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS G. L. Hayes, who is supervising principal in a number of the Indianapolis colored schools, and who for several years has kept closely in touch with various classes that have entered high school, said that the decrease in the number of graduates this year, as compared with last, did not indicate that the numbers who remain in high school for any appreciable time have decreased, but he thinks this condition due to the personnel of certain classes that enter, and the homes represented in any particular class ofmates from the public schools, he believed, should be larger. "There is too much migration on the part of the colored parents," he said. "About 350 children enter the first grades in the colored schools each year, while only about 50 per cent of the number complete the eighth grade, and on an average about 1 per cent of the number complete high school. The majority of losses are by those children whose parents leave the city. "In a large measure the parents are responsible for the comparatively small numbers who reach the last year of high school. They do not seem to realize how inefficient and unprepared their children are to meet the responsibilities of life with only an eighth grade education. The average child with ability to complete the eighth grade is capable of taking the high school course and should by all means be encouraged to do so." Among those whose high school record during the last year is worthy of special mention are Harry Campbell, Lucile Stokes, Madge Jones, Cubena McClure, Ethel Mayes, Lorianna Thomas, Spanilding Pritchett, Ruth Johnston, Mildred Bess, Willard Rice, Murray Atkins, Lucile Atkins, Delight Shelton, Henrietta Herod, Ida Wilson, Mary Smoot, Jeanette Bruen, Blanch Booth, Ruth Sissie, Flossie Glover and Nellie Reeves. Of this number several have failed in a subject, but there has been in most cases excusable reason other than lack of ability. One influence to be considered in the educational advancement in this city has its foundation in industrial conditions. There was a time in the history of the city when any boy could run an elevator, deliver packages, shine shoes, sweep floors, look after the pantry, cook or wait table, and any girl could make beds, wash dishes, take care of the baby and cook. This is not true today. While many people found in these avenues of labor have little or no education, it is to be noted that for most part such persons are older people who held these places when it was not expected of them that they should do more than "make a mark after their name," as evidence that they were uneducated to the extent of writing their signatures. But as these places gradually fall to the younger generation, the employer is demanding at least a common school education, hence the boys who complete the public schools and who can take with them the recommendations of their teachers, together with their diplomas, as evidence of their worth, have every advantage over the boy who "quits school" early to go to work. In many cases the cook is housekeeper and must have the necessary intelligence required to manage economically and promote the general health and happiness of the family. Instances are not unusual among colored employees where the porter has become shipping clerk. The fact that The trustees of the Tuskegee institute certainly made no mistake in the selection of Maj. Robert R. Moton as principal to succeed the late Doctor Washington. Major Moton is a man of rare ability and intelligence, and his gift of organization and administration was amply tested by 25 years' work at Hampton. In this regard, it may be said with entire respect to the memory of Doctor Washington, he is even more completely qualified than his predecessor. No one familiar with his achievement at Hampton can fail to recognize his sound judgment, his tact and resourcefulness, his influence over the pupils, and his high conception of the large aims of Hampton, which are in substance those of Tuskegee as well. We should say that he is now the strongest leader of his race an better equipped than any other to guide it in the right path. He has one peculiar advantage. He is a full-blood Negro, and the record of his life is in itself a source of encouragement and inspiration to the humblest of his race. The following extract from an address made at Hampton in 1912 shows the goal to The paper industry in Spain is seriously affected by the war, on account of the difficulty of obtaining supplies of paper pulp and chemicals formerly imported from European countries.

ILL. colored boys and girls have so few avenues of employment open to them for earning an independent living, makes it easier for employers to demand a high standard of efficiency, for there are large numbers to choose from. The continuation schools, especially those for the, colored children, have been the means of encouraging many children to remain in school. Where pupils fall in the last term, with few exceptions they enter the summer school and to prepare for their grade in September, and in many instances they are successful, where on the other hand, without this chance, they often become discouraged and give up, the same thing being true of both high school and grammar pupils. There was a notable reduction in the age of the pupils graduating from the grammar schools this year, a fact that is significant for several reasons. The compulsory educational laws of the state do not apply to children under seven years, and in too many instances parents do not realize it to their own interest and the child's to start first grade children to school at five and a half where there is room for them, and at six by all means. In many cases the irregularity of attendance on the part of these pupils is one of the problems of first-grade teachers. Out of the stories that straggled across the desert from dust-caked lips and thirst-burst tongues comes a little interlude, told with all the insuance of a raconteur, of a Negro trooper who paused in the trek to pour a bit of water on the tongue of a horse he knew was dying. Not that the act would help the horse, and certainly not that it would help the trooper in his hike toward safety. But the record says the trooper saw in the eyes of the horse that look that animals give and the inference is that he went on, inspired, to do even better things, if that be possible. There is no purpose in this comment to hint that better things than that might be in the day's work. If prompt answer were demanded it might be said better things were not in the course of human events. There is, however, a reminder of the days of 1898, which these days make ever present, a light on the Negro troop character that makes understandable the men who go forward singing ragtime as an answer to that other chorus the machines sing. The other story has to do with the heroic Lawton, and it is a story he told with that appreciation only such as he could show. The general saw one Negro soldier helping on his shoulder another, injured, along the march. The stout one carried the guns and the accountrements of both in addition to the wounded brother, but he carried also a dog that was once the mascot of the company and the wounded brother's particular pet. When the general asked why the soldier should burden himself with the animal, the soldier answered: "Why the poor thing's tired." Strange folks, these soldiers of the Negro troop. They love their horses and their dogs to an unconscionable degree, and yet, as Captain Morey has recorded, they "fight like hell." Russia is the home of nearly one-half of the world's Jews and is the only country with a larger Jewish population than the United States. ward which he strives, and which he would set for Tuskegee: "Whatever question there may be about the white man's part in the situation, there is no doubt about ours. Don't let us fool ourselves, but keep in mind the fact that the man who owns his own home and cultivates his land, and lives a decent, self-respecting useful life, is no problem anywhere. We talk about the 'color line.' You know and I know that the blackest man in Alabama or Mississippi, or Africa, or anywhere else, who puts the same amount of skill and energy into his farming, gets as large returns for his labor as the whitest Anglo-Saxon. . . . I believe that, unless a democracy is a failure and Christianity is a mockery, it is entirely feasible and practicable for the black and white races of America to develop side by side, in peace, in harmony, and in mutual helpfulness each toward the other, living together as 'brothers in Christ without being brothers in law,' each making its own contribution to the wealth and culture of our beloved country."—New York Times.

A witness, a jolly, plump old woman, in a trial in the supreme court of Massachusetts, was asked what time a certain train of cars passed her house. She replied that she began knitting at three o'clock and had knit twice around the leg of a stocking before it came along. The next question, of course, was how long it would take her to knit twice around. The judge here, in his usual quiet humor, suggested that that would depend upon the size of the stocking. To this the witness remarked that the stocking was for herself and they could exercise their own judgment as to the size, and guess how long it would take. As the Years Roll On.

The other day a man who makes his living by fighting, was struck by an undersized man, and instead of returning the blow he walked away from his diminutive assailant. This man exhibited much more self-control than the majority of people. Men who class themselves as being on a higher plane than this fighting man would have mixed immediately with the hot-headed individual. "What would you have done?" The chances are that you would have rushed at the fellow with all your might; you would have permitted your savage instincts to rule you. This proves that you have not as much power as you should have over your impulses. You may boss other people, but you are not boss of yourself. Maybe you wonder why others are forging ahead of you as leaders of men. It is because they have a check rein on themselves. They have schooled themselves that they may be able to guide others.

Wisdom of an Oracle A certain Kentucky politician says that when he was a boy in Owen county, on the edge of the blue grass district, the local orator made a habit of sitting on a certain chair against a certain stone front on the main street of the county seat town at certain hours of the day, the weather being fair, to answer questions. To him one day came a young farmer who wanted to know how to rid himself of sassafras sprouts in his fields. "Well, son," said the wiseacre, "off an' on I've given the subject of sassafrack sprouts considerable study durin' the past 45 years.
