VOL. XXII. No. 28. PRESIDENT MISJUDGED By a Few With Reference to the Appointment of Negroes SAYS "BE PATIENT" Will Prove That He Is a Friend of the Race and Will Appoint Negroes to Office FOUR YEARS' TENURE WH Not Bar Office-holders From Reqpollination, Providing Man Is Clean and has Conducted a Business-like Administration Special to THE NEW YORK AGN WASHINGTON D. C. April 14—Since the inaugural address of President Taft, they have been a few Negro newspapers who have failed to show the confidence due the chief executive relative to his appointment of Negroes to office in the South, these papers taking the radical and biased stand that because the President did not declare in his address that he was strongly in favor of appointing Negroes to positions in the South that he was, there fore, appeased to such an order of things. The few anti-Taft newspapers in existence having nothing else to talk about are seeking to instill in the minds of their small coterie of readers that there is soon to be a wholesale dismissal of Negro office holders in the South. They are seeking to draw a picture of every political office in the South being filled by a white man such conditions to be brought about by the President's policy THE A correspondent is in a position to state That President Taft will appoint Negroes to important positions in the South. However, he believes that an era of good fellowship between the whites and blacks in that section of the country will tend to do more to promote good and industrial conditions than to existence of strife and all feel resigned by the appointment of a Negro. Here where the community is unaffected to such a selete. We advise that the President Negroes important jobs must probable reappointment. I shall as Register at the New Orleans La Land Office, as well as last weeks. Act. Mr. Negroes has not been appointed at the well known places that he will serve for years. FOR NEAR EDUCATION Tuesday evening "The educated plant has made cotton king," he continued "The educated horse has made Kentucky famous, and the education of the Negro child is as essential as that of the white child." The trend of the session was the betterment of rural schools and to the end De L. H. Hillhard agent of the Jeans fund of a million dollars for Negro country schools, spoke as did O. J. Kern, of Rockford, Ill. WASHINGTON IN NASHVILLE, Address Ministers on Racial Situation in the South. NASHVILLE Tenn April 9 - Booker I Washington addressed the Theological Department of Vanderbilt University and the ministers of this city said in part There is one respect in which both races in the South generally suffer at the hands of public opinion of the outside world. The reason for this is that the outside world hears of our difficulties, hears of our crimes, our mobs and lynchings, but it hears very little of the normal healthy progress that the people of both races are making every day. It sees few of the evidences of the racial friendship and good will which I have found to exist in every community of the Southern States. And yet I do not believe that anyone can find a section of the globe where two races which are in many respects so dissimilar, and which dwell together in so large numbers have succeeded in getting on better in all the affairs of life than the black man and the white man are doing at the present time in the Southern States. TO REMOVE CYRUS FIELD ADAMS Rumor Has It That W. T. Vernon is Leading Influence to Supplant Him. CHICAGO, IL. April 13. News has come to this city from reliable sources that Register W. T.

Always brings results --- Formally Opened Last Week With Speeches and Music Responsible for Founding of Home—Congratulated by Hartford Citizens for Their Work Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. HARTFORD, CONN., April 13 — Hartford has a home for aged Negroes. Through the activity of the members of the Woman's Summer Club, No. 1, a home has been secured which was formally dedicated last week. Hundreds of citizens, white and colored, attended, and congratulated the women on their good work. The home is located at 33 Mather street directly in the rear of the Union Baptist Church, and was formerly known as the George Carr place. It has a bright and airy parlor, sitting room, kitchen and bath room, on the first floor, and three bedrooms up stairs, and a cellar. There are two iron beds in each of the sleeping rooms and everything connected with them has been made as neat and clean as possible. The Woman's Summer Club is made up of twenty-five financial members that is to say, those who pay their monthly dues regularly, which are 10 cents. It was organized in 1895, as an auxiliary to the Summer League, or men's club. With the income from the dues the club has been able to do much good among the Negroes, and has been caring for two for the past three years. These will now be taken into the home where accommodations are now provided for several more. In order to get the home they made an arrangement with the Union Baptist Church to lease the house for a period of five years. The arrangement was that if the club should furnish the home they could take the lease for that period. They have gone ahead and done this by means of donations and their fund to fall back on and now hope to finance the institution by means of donations and their monthly income. The club has had one other present besides Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. Sarah Jackson, who was the first president. Last Friday evening, after the guests had been shown about, they were invited into the chapel of the church, where an entertainment was given. Letters were read from Mayor E. W. Hooker and ex Mayor Miles B Presler in which regret was expressed that their engagement prevented them from attending the opening and making addresses, but conveying words of invitation and encouragement.

Has Largest Circulation PRICE, 5 CENTS TEACHERS DEFICIENT In Washington Schools Many Could Not Pass Examination 'FAIR TO MIDDLING' Is the Way the Citizens Refer to Conditions at Garnet and Mott Schools WOMEN PRINCIPALS Seriously Discussed - Some Have No Superiors While Others Have No License to Draw a Principal's Salary WASHINGTON, D.C. April 14—Somet years ago I took the teachers' examina- tion in a southern State—South Caro- nia I was fresh from school and full of ambition As I now recall my general average was ninety-one per cent. I went before the trustees of the school district in which I sought to get a school, and proudly exhibited my certificate. I called particular attention to the percentage I had made as a recommendation. The head trustee, who of course, was an old ex-rebel, retorted "Umph' thirty five is good enough to teach niggers." When I consider some few of the Negro teachers in the schools of Washington I cannot help but think that at one time—and it was not back in the stoney age either—thirty-five was considered sufficient to teach in a Negro school in Washington I seriously question whether some of them could make thirty-five per cent in an examination today. And some of the residents here with whom I have talked, doubt, judging from the way they express themselves, whether a few of the teachers employed could make twenty-three in an examination Now there is the Garnet School. I asked about the staff of teachers there. I asked, not one or two, but many parents, including some of the pure, unadulterated "old, olds," and the rest in most cases, was "fair to middling" a rule." Note it begins in the middle and runs down. This school should have by all odds the best corps of teachers, and it should have a man principal because of the type of children who live in this particular district. There are some incorrigible children in this district, children whose parents are far down the scale of mortality, and who take no interest in them. A woman principal can not maintain the proper discipline at this school. Another thing I wish to state is that it is unwise to require a principal to teach in a building as large as the Garnet School. The principal should have all its time to devote to the superintendency of the teachers and pupils and you note I say "this," I repeat that an man and not a woman should be no charge of this school. ```markdown ``` It is coming back to the teachers of this particular school there is an opportunity for improvement and the improvement should be made not later than the beginning of the next fall term. That is if the schools are presumed to be conducted in the interest of the pupils. It they are conducted in the interest of the teachers the no change is necessary. It may seem hard, and almost brutal to suggest the elimination of teachers whose characters are pure gold but we must reflect that in age when every one must be trained in a Marathon, and the best trained can keep in the feel. Sentiment should never and in way when the education of children is committed and certainly Needs to have the place in the process where women are held and pushed WASHINGTON, D. C., April 18—The new warranty law in Washington presents a much more drastic reading than the Act of 1898, heretofore in operation. Under the former act it was possible for one arrested to pay a fine. A real estate bond is required under the new law. The law clearly defines vagrancy on a much broader basis than ever before, the definition reading: "Idle persons who, not having visible means of support, live without lawful employment; persons wandering abroad and visiting tipping shops or houses of ill-fame, or lodging in groceries, outhouses, marketplaces, sheds, barns or in the open alt, and not giving a good account of themselves; persons wandering abroad and begging, or who go about from door to door or place themselves in the streets, highways, or other public places to beg or receive alms. All persons leading an idle, immoral or profligate life who have no property to support them and who are able of body to work and do not work, including all able-bodied persons without other visible means of support who shall live in idleness upon the earnings of their mother, wife or minor child or children." It is this part of the law which has caused many legal questions to be raised. Vagrancy cases have so far increased that the government has been compelled to consider the necessity of building a new workhouse. Vagrancy cases are pending in connection with Negro vagrants which will test every phase of the new law Hon. W. T. Vernon made a business trip to New York last week Prof. A.

Race Adjustment By Kelly Miller Neale Publishing Company, New York and Washington Large Octavo; $2.00, postage $3 Cents Orders may be sent to the author Agents Wanted, Liberal Commission Book News Monthly: "One finds here a less extreme and uncompromising attitude than that of Professor W. E. B. DuBois, and a larger horizon, a higher complexity of insights, than in the severer practicality of Booker Washington. It is a contribution from the most intellectual Negro author living." Springfield Republican: "A strong and forceful putting of the case for the Negro." Dallas News: "The author is a forceful and most pleasing writer, interesting from the first sentence of the first chapter to the close of the book." Hartford Courant: Suppressing burning wrath, the same professor applies these philosophical theories to cold facts in calm investigation of the conditions of race antagonisms in the South." Boston Transcript: "This book of Professor Miller is from beginning to end an appeal to the reason, pure and simple, of both races. It ought to be in the hands of every serious student of the Negro problem." Louisville Courler-Journal: "One of the best written books on the race problem." Cittago News: "The book is written with great ability, in English quite free from fault, and its logic is fairly inexorable." Cleveland Plain-Dealer: "Professor Miller shows himself a master of an incisive style of writing and a keen logician." mar.25-3 Notes of Englewood. Mr and Mrs R.

We want to warn the Negro soldiers of the discharged battalion of the 28th infantry against those race ghouls seeking to prey upon the back pay and bounty soon to come to them. Those pseudo Negro lawyers are again in Washington, where the Brownsville Board sits, taking advantage of the soldiers' misfortune, reaping a rich reward and contemplating ever fatter spoils. These "lawyers" from various sources are advancing money and maintenance to the soldiers and taking a lien upon their claims soon to be settled by the Government. Where formerly these shysters lived from hand to mouth they now live in luxury upon the graft which they have come into from sympathetic whites and Negroes When a year ago we published our editorial on "Race Ghouls," many sincere and unsuspecting Negroes held up their hands in offence and holy horror. We seemed to be shattering their ideal of race loyalty, to be turning hard and unsympathetic against the fight for the reinstatement of the soldiers. We did not care then nor deem it necessary, as now, to give the sources of our inside information. We felt then that we were doing the race the highest service possible under the circumstances. Events since must have proven to the most casual observer the rightfulness of our position that good would come to the race through a straight, honest and sensible stand upon the controversy. Our efforts then in behalf of the race and the soldiers were not in vain. We had in mind then these same and all such parasites making capital out of the soldiers' misfortune and feeding upon the agitation. So now again we say to the soldiers Bide your time, economize in your living until reinstatement, continue in your gentlemanly department. Above all things, avoid and ignore those race ghouls, who, if friendly to you, are only-selfish in their friendship. There is nothing they can do for you. They have been amply paid for any services they may have rendered you in the past. They have plundered enough graft already from you and your sympathizers. One of your "friends" out of his spoils and solicitings, in addition to his elegance of life for the past two years, has banked it is said, over $2,000. Therefore, we warn you again against these race ghouls --- ARIZONA'S STEP BACKWARD. Anent the recent passage of the "Jim-crow" school bill by the territorial legislature of Arizona, we want to say that if that diabolical measure is not abolished before that territory again applies for statehood, we hope that President Taft will make its abolishment a condition of Arizona's coming into the Union. As the Governor of Arizona, over whose said the measure was passed, said, there is neither reason nor constitutional permission for the measure. Southern southerners in the territory, as in the days of "squatter sovereignty" doctrine, are attempting to carry their inquisitious institutions with them there. Through a considerable immigration and a greater agitation, they have been able to secure a two-thirds majority in the legislature and council. But the measure means endless division and injury to the State, and should be abolished permanently. In 1900 there were 1818 Negroes in Arizona Despite the immigration, it is to be doubted if 4,000 Negroes at present could be found over its entire expanse Because of the arid lands and the consequent nature of its in dustries, together with the forces that are pulling Negro emigrants northward, their population in Arizona will not soon be large or thickly settled. There is a great increase in public school cost for Arizona, it will mean unnecessary hardships in travel and expense for the struggling colored people, unequal and poor provisions as in the South, for their children's training. Perhaps worse than all these, will be the chronic and bitter dissatisfaction it will cause upon the part of the Negroes and their friends in the Territory. It will mean that the political question of school segregation will be a dividing and harassing issue for Arizona until it is abolished. To say nothing of the constitutional barriers, which the Governor named, there is neither the fretion nor population, nor likelihood of such, which furnish the sem blance of the Southern excuse. When Arizona's statehood again comes up for consideration, we believe the National Government will take cognizance of Arizona's attempt to humiliate the Negro. We believe that it will turn down rather than legalize this step backward. DICKINSON BEGINS WELL. "The South has been much disposed to resent criticism from the outside and to stifle it at home. There can be no more fatal bar to progress. There will always be some there, as is always the case elsewhere, who prefer the away of prejudice, who would rather continue conditions, that foster appeals to ignorance and passion, who would rather rule in a stagnant civilization. The South has been obscurity that awaits them when better ideals prevail and a leadership that embraces in its patriotism the entire country is successful." These words, strong and significant, in the mouth of a Southern man in power, were uttered by Secretary of War Dickinson last Saturday night before the Southern Club, of Chicago. They should set at ease the unhappy forebodings of Negroes as to the peril their interests may suffer in the hands of the Navy Secretary of War from Tennessee. No less fair and worthy was his selection of the high army veterans for the Brownsville Board. The Negro should also dismiss from his thoughts those widely-circulated reports, false and manufactured out of whole cloth, that Tillman will dictate patronage for South Carolina, and that Gen. Luke E. Wright will be appointed Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. We repeat again, the administration will entrust progressive statesmanship in the South and not reactionary demagogues. Secretary Dickinson states the basic fact of the situation when he says there are those in the South who foster prejudice, ignorance and passion that they themselves may survive. The great lament of the fact is, that these demagogues still dominate Southern life and politics. Their elimination will come as the masses, the five millions of poor whites of the South are lifted and become enlightened. To multiply the number of Dickinson's in the Southland is to divide by the same number the Tillmans and the Jeff Davies. It is to promote in the same ratio It is southern progress. It is to remove m in the same proportion the barriers in the path of the Negro BELATED LOYALTY. The number and insistence on consideration of present-day Taft men are the amusing and striking features of the efforts among Negroes for national office. Every State and almost every hamlet is pouring forth its quota of aspirants, who press their claims on the grounds of original and unwerving devotion to Taft. Those same Negroes, who a year ago pledged themselves to revenge themselves on the administration, at the price of political death, if necessary, are now in the front rank of the procession to the pre-counter. While it is also to be noted that those calm and clear-headed Negroes who early announced their preference for Judge Taft have not asked for anything. Especially has this been true of the unseemly and premature scramble for the place of recorder of deeds and commissioner to Liberia. Among those for the latter place there has been a candidate who made the ridiculous assertion that although a Negro, he should be appointed because his complexion would not reveal his racial identity, and would thus be an asset to the commission Now we want to say to all these latter-day saints, willing to sacrifice themselves on the altar of race good. You have no claims upon the administration worthy of serious consideration. Those sensible Negroes patriciate to their country's interest, no less loyal—and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, infinitely more loyal to their race than you or those screechers whom you foolishly aided and abetted will be the first to be considered in the awarding of places. Every principle of race and party good demands that they be given the places of reward and representation. Every principle of manhood and self respect would demand that you now keep silent, that leisurely and judicious you may repent the error of your ways. Your selfish loyalty is just too late. --- One of the finest and most realistic pictures of the attachment that is found so often even in these parts between employer and Negro employee is that furnished by the funeral of Henry De Hart, at West Brighton, Staten Island, Buried from the Church of the Ascension William H Hunt, the millionaire from manufacturer in whose employ Mr De Hart had been for twenty years, and his two hundred employees were solemn mourners at the beer. Robert W. Layher, the Negro broker with offices in the heart of the Wall street district has just issued the second monthly number of his financial periodical, the "Wall Street Guide." The alert publication is indeed timely, for Negro adventurers in the street have hitherto been poor and bleeding lambs in the land of the bulls and the bears --- POLITICY IN BROOKLYN We are heartily sorry that the spirit of squabble has broken out afresh among the colored voters of Kings County. We were highly encouraged that practical progress would result from the earnest and sensible efforts of those worthy Brooklyn citizens, striving for an effective political organization. We wish to say here that the interest of The Ace is that of the Negro race everywhere, which laments the fact that so much of the potential energy of the race is not translated into positive power The Ace, with the Negro everywhere interested in New York politics, laments the fact that the strategic position of the Negroes of Kings County may not be utilized to the advantage of the race For most of the Negroes taking part in the conference and still striving to succeed against the adverse circumstances of a petty and bullish opposition, we have only words of commendation. But for those organizations and those individuals who started out to rule or run, who selfishly prefer the stagnant helplessness of division to the unity of cooperation and power, we have and shall have only the severest condemnation. To those faithful and unselfish Negroes still pushing conciliation and unity we would like to suggest, that they immediately stop the controversy begun in the Brooklyn dailies Do not permit the world to gain the wrong impression of the political sagacity of New York Negroes Pursue persistently the even tenor of your way and political power commensurate with the number and position of Negroes in the county will crown your efforts I have always been a friend to Negro education. I know there are some white people who do not believe in the education of the Negro, but I believe in the education of the Negro. The educated plant has made cotton king. The educated horse has made Kentucky famous, and the education of the Negro child is as essential as that of white people. This statement, accepted and recognized as commonplace in the North, is hardly short of revolutionary, in the South Made to the Association of Alabama Negro Teachers by the State Superintendent of Education, H. C. Gunnels, it has created a profound strung among the blacks and whites of Alabama Mr Gunnels is held in the highest esteem and gratitude by the Negroes of his State for the splendid work done in their behalf During the last year as a result of his persistent efforts, the State has increased the school term by one month. At additional expense to the State, the Negro teachers of the State now attend the State Teachers' Association for conference and instruction without loss of pay Ere long, like Virginia, South Carolina, Louisiana and Tennessee, Superintendent Gunnels will probably induce Alabama to make a small appropriation for a summer normal school for Negro teachers. Due also to the fair efforts of the State Superintendent, the pay of those teachers—still unworthily and incredibly, low—has been raised It is indeed progress by inches which Negro education is making in Alabama under Mr Gunnels. But this spells a long step in advance which the new school of Southern leaders and Southern sentiment is taking. As in South Carolina, with her stalwart State Superintendent, John E. Swearingen, it spells the triumph of constructive and common-sense statesmen of the Gunnels type over the destructive radicals of the Vardaman type. It spells light ahead for the South and the Negro. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. Lafaye efforts to break the solid South seem to be bearing fruit in lifting up Southern Secretary of War Dickinson against the radicals. Perhaps as in slaves' time when the fight gets hot, the disfranchised Negro may get away. The Hon Thomas Marshall, the new Democrat Governor of Indiana, is reported to have cheerfully signed the bill passed by the legislature authorizing four companies of colored soldiers in the Hoosier State. Democrats are experts in playing on the soft spots of the common people. The legislature of Kansas recently appropriated the handmade and unprecedented sum of $68,400 for Western University. It is no longer proper to think of Kansas as "bleeding" or even bled, but as the land of Carte Nation and its now pouring forth its hopes. In order to bar the Negro voter, the State legislature of Missouri recently passed a bill providing an educational qualification. The Democratic states man may not long calm their fears, but have only postponed the dreadful day of reckoning, for Negroes are the best bar caultern in the world. Patents were recently issued at Washington; to J H Smith of Little Rock on a machine for stoning frunt and to W J Snow, of Vilonia, on a churn Since Mr Smith is a practicing "painless" dentist of Little Rock it seems natural that his thoughts should be the most impression of "bones" and the most of the meat as pastry. But Snow's only excuse geometrical was the blooded attempt to put a smile on the map. Miss Irs A. Adams daughter of the late Ira Abbey, the distinguished English Negro missioner, and for some time a student with Jenny Land, the "Swedish Nightingale," is now said to be one of England's finest composers of popular songs. If there is any virtue in "good blood" and the maxim "Beware of the company you keep," it isn't Miss Wildfife's fault Hobson Manly Once Mr. Hobson's qualities as a statesman have not usually elicited our admiration. With the jungism with which his name is especially associated we have been called a career, as naval officer or Representative, was more so, to his credit than the courageous protest he voiced in the House against the permanent dismissal of innocent soldiers without trial by marshal.-Richmond Times-Daily George Noyce Prosper In a recent letter written to the New York Sun, Senator Bacon, of Georgia, speaks as follows of the prosperity of the Negro in Georgia: "It may be interesting to some of the readers of The Sun to learn that the as-sessed value of the taxable property of Negroes in Georgia is $27,000,000, which is more than twenty-five years. This would indicate that the Negro is faring well in Georgia, and has the protection of the law in the enjoyment of his property rights. The Negro children are in the common schools of the State, the expense of which is borne almost entirely by the whites, is evidence that the people of Georgia are ing generous part toward the education of the Negro. The Decline of Bass Friction The Decline of Race Friction A little while before the delivery of his Hawaiian Club, of New York City, on February 12, Dr. Booker T. Washington made the following significant and true statement: "Everything that can happen to disrupt the relations between the races has already happened. We have reached, in the past, the point of reaction, and reaction has already set in. The finest types of Southern character are becoming more and more each year with the extreme legislation, with the extreme methods of punishing the Negro, with the extreme utterances against his race, with the extreme legislation, we are going to witness a sanity of self-control, a liberality on the part of the men of the white race in the South toward the Negro, that we have not within Both races, and the whole country, have become weary of the "problem." Unfair time and it has buttered no paranoids. A "problem" runs its course as other diseases do. It goes through discussion, gleam and conflict; and then comes a day when people set about solving it by other means. It is rational way; and it last they forget that they ever had a problem to quarrel about. Friction has apparently been the problem. Faction; and good man of both races are to be thanked, together. The World's Work. THOSE, RON QUIXOTES. To the Editor of THE NEW York Anz- Just before his nomination President Taft announced that he would nominate a successor to Collector Fowler, of New York, to the position he had posed upon his nomination but attempted incorde the vote against him. Im- mediately after his inauguration President Taft nominated William Loeb, Jr. , succeeded Collector Fowler at New York. In view of this action on the part of the President the question arises as to who will be nominated to the position whom are now seeking appointment under and at the hands of President Taft, who were doing all in their power to incur the Negro vote against the Presi- dent and analogous to that of Collector Fowler. At Chicago the Negro opposition to Judge Taft assembled, and like a band of black activists, issued daily bulletins seeming with the most bitter vicious and brutal attacks on Judge Taft and upon Hon Charles D. Cancey. Hon Ralph W. Teter and others who went to Chicago to labor were killed. Hon Ralph W. Teter, then himself, last named. Now some of those who belong to the cabal that lobbied night and day, and who were against the now President Taft are not only seeking office at his hands but are attempting to prejudice the President Nervosa who stood like a Gab rater for him. Electrology In a certain church an Easter celebration for children was in progress, one feature of which was to be the distribution of which was to be concluded and this elimination of the service had been reached, when the minister arrose and said, "Let us now sing Hymn 815. Begin, my soul, the exalted Easter the eggs will be distributed." They had marched as brothers together till the day's long course had run, Shiloh marched another in the grip of a broiling sun. He had known in the heat of fever the black man's motherly care. Know him when sleepless and weary his pain was too much to bear. But, Bury him when he lingered, that was when he commanded. When they fell in the fight together in a hostile Southern land. But ever the southland breaches will end, when he commanded. And the lovely evening jasmine will shroud them from head to feet. And when on the judgment morning, out of the crashing skies. As he commanded a trumpet, bidding the dead arist.: Who shall say, O my brothers, if in that terrible light.— Who shall say, O my sisters if the risen be black or white? Sleep on, sleep well! ye unnamed dead. though ye be of the Blue or the Gray. WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY Lawyer Wright, of Louisville, is an announced candidate for the Legislature from this town. His word is impassioned by a good majority, and mostly Negroes. Then why not?—The Kentucky Reporter Ever since the United States has had a black man under its protecting folds the white man has been pulling him between himself and the fire and now the Indians are endeavoring to do the same thing—The Seattle Republican. In fact, colored readers, it is the only salvation politically and economically, and the Indians who stand for law, law enforcement and right. Don't self your wives and children out for a mere price—The Spring held (Ill) Forum If the Negro in public affairs would spend less time trying to dictate the politics of the country and put the time left in residence, that effect himself and his people, there would be less and feeling between the element of the country "Shelving" and the element of a lot of noise—The Boley (Okla) Progress The President cannot well avoid apointing colored men here and there to offer the expo to maintain their re-confidence. He it means the minimum of friction. The President has personal views concerning political irregularity and civil irregularity and politics. He has expressed times and time again, and always with a sense of fairness. He has deplored and condemned the actions of the president, in opposition to the spirit of the Constitution, he knows to well, yet the impression gotten of his speeches is that he yields to the demands of time and circumstance to change what exists. The Indianapolis Freeman Curtus Jett, who was sent to the Kentucky penitentiary on account of murder, is said to be the leading Bible scholar in the Kentucky State prison A. He was also a graduate of Waukee to relieve him of his life sentences upon the ground that he has been conceived and is making a model teacher A. (Kenneth and J. B. the Bible scholar) He is also a life sentence committed, the penitentiaries of the penal states will soon become excellent Bible institutions. It were better for these murders to have read the Bible a little more carefully before they comitted the ideals which they were sent to prison. Nashville Bridge Governor H C Warmoth has filed with the Clerk of the House his papers, in which he describes the present occupant of the seat of a residence from the First Congressional District of Louisiana. Once the facts are brought properly the department of the Government and this is done while that department is controlled by the party off Fremont Lincoln and Grant there will be no trouble with the unrepublican features of Southern Bishop governments if they are are not in compliance in their violation of the nation's constitutional requirements. Hence the efforts of the Governor in contesting the seat of Mr. Empirical may have a far-reaching effect — The Southern Age. If Mr. Duffy wins his contention, he shall have conferred a greater favor upon the colored people of the State than he has to the white men to meddle with the educational affairs of other people.

The Negroes of Gary, Ind., may think they are sensible when they conspire to run out of the town the bad Negroes, but there is a better name for them. Even if they should attempt what has been said of them, by what means will they be able to go and who are good enough to stay? What constitutes a bad Negro anyhow?

Bishop J W Hamilton is one gentleman who is not afraid to sit at the table of a colored man and dine with him. Another thing, he is not ashamed to adhere to the rules of the Baltimore Saturday session of the Baltimore conference, held in the Methodist Church in that city the bishop told his hearers that he had dined with Negroes and said that race were concerned that was a question of personal privilege. In concluding the bishop said that his action was nobody's business but his own. There are many Negroes who are interested in Negroes, but they don't want anyone else to know it. - The New York Defender. Of the leaders of the colored people in South Carolina there is none to excel the Rev. Richard Carroll. He may be rightfully styled the doqoum between the black and white man as no one else, and the Messenger is frank to accord him this rightful position. That he had more to do with making of the recent tour of the United States in the State a success than any other man, there is no doubt. Whatever may be his faults and shortcomings, he is certainly a diplomat of the highest type. He is a man of great integrity in his unique manner he does it successfully. - The Rock Hill Messenger --- Tennessee has put the ban on Negro Elks. We never expected anything else. Our people will learn sense set. White people will learn sense set. What rights have Negroes to attempt to hutt in? We have more respect for that ignorant Negro who goes out and organizes an order and selects the initials of its name than we have for that white Negro who attempts to get the white man's order by fraud and deceit. We have Moselas. Friendships or Knights of Tabor having to enjoy white men from using their name or works. The white people know that the Negroes do not make themselves obnoxious by not making themselves obnoxious by trying to stent them - The Moselas Guide. While we do not in any sense oppose what is called the higher education for the girls and boys of our race, yet we think that the trader does large offer opportunities to the many men who will never have an opportunity to go through college or university. Let some of the boys strive to become first-class brick markers and masons, some good stone cutters and carpenters, some tailors, others who teach the girls learn in addition to germanize a piece of meat make a leaf of bread wash a window and scrub a floor. In other words, let them learn how to do common things of home life. Let them learn the signs of labor as well as the signs and polite literature. The Reformer By endeavoring to provide the means of keeping under State care warranted groceries in Missouri the men having negro girls in Missouri the men having Senator Casey in the Senate and Representative Hukes in the House, have erected a highly commensurable spirit and standpoint of police protection for the State.

The Texas Some weeks ago, the Atlanta Constitution, always fair to the Negro, printed a lengthy interview with a Georgia planter, who painted a gloomy picture of the black man and the future of his race. This planter declared that the Negro farm hand or small tenant farmer, was lazy, shiftless, dishonest, grossly immoral and wholly indifferent to the obligations he incurred in his contract with the landlord. The planter declared that education only made the Negro insolent instead of giving him a clearer perception of his duty to himself and his family. He said that the agricultural interests of Georgia were to-day languishing toward decay because of the Negro's aversion to honest toil, and he frankly advocated some form of paternalism or peonage as the only salvation of the land owner and the Negro as well. Aftermath of Southern Prohibition. The prohibition movement in the South reveals here and there interesting situations caused by the revolution in that country by the police. The police have one system to another, serious dislocations have not been infrequent, although only time is required for a complete readiness of the police in a number of Southern cities has been due to the fact that under the license system the money derived from the labor of the police is in the hands of the public schools. When prohibition swooped down upon the States, no provision was immediately made for supplying the financial needs of education in the public schools. Ala. had a period of starving the schools, on this account, and even more interesting has been the recent experience of the police in the month the public schools of Raleigh have been closed entirely, and they will not be reopened until next autumn unless the school board can immediately raise a time limit for the police. Raleigh is the capital of the State, and its people are alive to the educational requirements of their community. But the police are even tighter than the outlawed saloons. People in other States interested in the municipalization of the liquor trade in the United States may regret that State prohibition in North Carolina should have ended the dispensary experiment in Raleigh, where it and were averse to a radical change. Prohibition makes a clean sweep of such enterprises, however and the outcome is that the state has these experimental methods in dealings with the drink problems in urban centers by proving that prohibition brings the number of alcoholic drinkers down. The Springfield Republican. America and Liberia Ruter's Agency is responsible for the interesting announcement that a commission of three Americans is about to prosecute a group of Americans for strengthening its hold on the rules of government. That is rather an ambiguous sentence, the wonders why what they are gathering from the announcement was that the United States is henceforth definitely interesting herself in the welfare system, a group of Americans who are so capable to sarmise that this action may be the outcome of the recent visit to Washington of Sir Harry Johnson, who is a general in the United States Government both in their relations with Liberian and their attitude on theongoing question coming within the vortex of the war. We have often thought at strange that the enterprising American trade left this part of the world fortuitously alone. Perhaps it is that the group induces him to hast his eyes upon it and estimates its possibilities as a field for Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the A.M. E. Review The A. M. E.

A syndicate of colored men here have a small park enclosed where their own people may rest to while the time away in innocent and wholesome amusements. It is in close proximity to the city park, a place where the city wished to lay hold of it, so they offered the company three or four years ago $5,000 for it, but the proposition was turned down.

St. PAUL, MINN., April 12—The State Insurance Commissioner has requested that the treasurer of the Cosmopolitan Mutual Casualty Company furnish a bond, and the officers immediately sent in their application to several responsible bodies in each particular case seemingly for no other reason than race prejudice, for the applicants were qualified in every respect. The board of directors came to their rescue and gave a sufficient personal bond to the firm and the personal bond to The "Cosmopolitan" is a product of the brain and energy of the Negroes of St. Paul, with home office here, and was organized in September, 1905.

It is the only hospital on and kind of city built on a very elevated location, the Tennessee River, with a commanding view of the surrounding country.

But Congregation in Not Pazing Any Attention to Displeasure of Whites Saturday, April 11, 2014 I am resident at the Jewish Community Center in New York City. I am being opposed to the new Minority Methodist Presbyterian church which I have rented on the property recently purchased by the congregation at 211 East 11th Street. However, Roy I. Sullivan recently gave out the following interview. I have not given answers to questions about the report that some of the white residents of I. East 11th Street are opposed to the church building on its proposed site. I am busy honoring the proposition the first payment has been made on the property and we will be prepared to make another payment August 1. When we are in a position to build we will get plans submit same to the city authorities and conform with the building law in our operations. ing out the poor teachers. I do not think any colored member of the Board of Education should have political aspirations. He may be above it, but there is a likelihood, or a possibility of his using the teaching force to advance his interests, or to punish those who refused to cater to his desires. And for this reason, I learned, many conservative citizens, both men and women, thought it would have been good form, and for the best interests of the schools, if Mr Horner had resigned as member of the School Board when he shed his castor in the political ring. As a politician, the concensus of washington opinion is that he not made a decided success. As an applicant for an office he cannot help but, to some extent, impair his usefulness as a school board member. At least this is the way Washington residents out it. Of all places, the school board is the last place for a narrow or selish man or woman. The public school request broad minded and unselfish men and women as board members, as principals and as teachers. But I have digressed somewhat. And yet, if you have followed me carefully, there is a logical connection between the beginning of this article and that portion which may at first blush, suggest digression. I have thus far enumerated four schools that should be carefully considered by the Superintendent, and by the Board of Education. There should be some immediate changes at the M Street High School—a thorough reorganization. The Armstrong Manual Training School, like an old painting that has become dimmed by age, should be touched up in a few places. The Garnet School ought to have a good shake-up, and the new Mott School should be manned by a corps of teachers the best to be had. Of all four schools mentioned, the Armstrong is by far the best in every particular I am gradually getting down to the foundation. I began up in the cupola. When I get into the cellar and begin tumbling out the years' accumulation of trash, Washingtonians will, like Rip Van Winkle awake from their sleep, and discover that the defect is not in the superintendent but at another spout. It is not the captain, but the private who need to spruce up. The one great fault with Washington Negro schools has been that a few competent teachers backed by sentiment and a potent influence have been permitted to rule. I mean to investigate and specify until these incompetents are driven out. Take it from me, there is a lot more to follow. Negroes Help Elect Republican Ticket St Lotts Mo April in-I or the first time in eight years St Louis has elected a Republican Mayor.

PETERSBURG, Va. April 15. - Plain but unusually large and impressive Easter services were held last Sunday at Gatfield Baptist Church when Prof J. R. L. Diggs, Ph.D., and president of the Gatfield Baptist Church, delivered a practical but masterful sermon from the text, "The World's Recognition of Christ as a Unique Character." Dr. Diggs, who is one of the best trained young Negroes of this country, is a zealous student of them and has been a major contributor and enthusiasm in the arduous task of bringing our young men and women to see that the purifying of their moral lives and the unifying of their business and commercial interests are the two things necessary antecedent to racial progress and he illustrated it to a large audience. It is not amiss to add that Giffield Church for a long time enjoyed the distinction of being the largest Negro church in the South numbering its community in including the present pastor Dr G B Howard who like his professor the late Rev Henry Williams is a man of fine worth and unspotted Christian charm. He has for years been the last for years and during all this long period of time has been entirely free of such factual strife as usually result into what we too often know as "church splits" another pretty good problem New York has.

At the time the Red Moon Company was playing in Toronto, Canada, and the colored performers were making quite a favorable impression on the natives as to the development and progress of the American Negro. After having had the pleasure of reading the article, the writer came to the conclusion that it would be good reading for two classes of colored people—those who take an optimistic view as to their racial identity, and who have resolved to make the best of conditions and profit by them, then those who take a pessimistic view, and sit day and night bemoaning the fact that they are colored, looking only on the dark side of the so-called race question, doing no good for themselves or their race, but who only assist sensationalists of the Tillman type in their arguments that the Negro is interior and will always be. Probably some of the class just mentioned would derive some benefit from the four-act play, "The Man from Home," if but to hear Henry Jewett as the Grand Duke of Vassil Vasilivitch, give the following definition of an egost "One content to be what he is, and who does not pretend to be someone else." Mr. Cole's article: "Before I answer your question, I would like to cite a little coincidence that happened to me once when Johnson and I with our company were playing 'The Red Moon' in a town where there was situated a large coal mine. I took a trip down in the mine. I had heard a great deal the many dangers in the mine, the deadly explosions, the cave-ins, I must admit I did not envy the coal miners' lot. Still I know that it was a part of the plan of nature to hide the coal down there, but it seemed to me somewhat unreasonably cruel and unjust. "I said to myself, I would not be a coal miner for anything." "I asked one old-gray-haired man in the mine how it felt to be a coal digger. With a happy look to an acacia tree I was once so long, it miner feels natural. Now, I am like the miner. I have been a Negro so long that it feels quite natural. "The most painful inconvenience of the Negro is not being able to get employment, 'because he is a Negro.' No matter how proficient an artisan, he will apply for a position at mill or factory, he will invariably run up against the other stock phrase, 'We've got all the men we need.' Of course, there are notable exceptions, gentlemen like Mr Carnegie, of the United States Steel Company; Mr Rockefeller, of the Standard Oil, and others whom I might mention, care nothing for or about a man's color, but seven-eighths of the captains of industry throw up the invisible barrier of prejudice." "You ask me how I feel it feels to be a Negro? Well, I can recall one time in my life when I felt very much embarked on account of it. It was in London, England. It happened that we were honored by the Royal command to sing for His Majesty, King Edward, their Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales at the Elizabethan Fete at Lincoln Field Inn, given under the auspices of the Duchess of Devonshire, for the benefit of the King's Hospital Fund Present on this occasion was an eminent sociologist, who, on learning that we were American Negroes, invited to attend a dinner given by England's most eminent sociologist, scientists and later armen. We attended, of course. They entered into the discussion of an article just published in a London daily, called 'The Marvelous Progress of the American Negro'. One gentleman spoke and said in part "We have with us to night two young members of a race of people whose progress in the forty years of their freedom from slavery stands without a parallel in the history of the civilized world. Four millions of them we erhilated by the Emancipation Proclamation of Abraham Lincoln in 1863 in absolute slavery in forty years they have produced their illiteracy from 100 to 44 per cent, and from object paunishment they have by their thrift acquired $500,000,000 worth of taxable property. They own and operate forty-seven banks, a score or more of well established insurance companies, they own 177,000 farms (the combined acreage of which is more than Belgium and Holland combined) twenty two per cent of them own their own homes, of the ten millions, seven millions of them own their own homes, of the ten millions, seven millions $275,000,000 worth of which property they own and edit two hundred creditable real estate. bundred and fifty drug stores, and many of other creditable businesses are being operated by them. There is numbered among them 32,000 graduates from colleges and high school of learning. They have a well-educated and well-produced world renowned educators, ministers educators, poets, painters, sculptors, journalists actors, singers, all in forty years, and from object poverty and ignorance. It is simply marvelous. It sounds like a tale from the Arabian Nights. And mind you, 'be continued, 'all this they have accomplished in spite of their poverty, their tadden people by the American white man, on account of a bitter race hatred gained them.' p t l w c "I was embarrassed beyond any description not so much so because I was one of the race who had made such numerous progress, but mainly because for the first time in my life I had been placed in a position to defend the Ameri can white man. When I assured them that the abuses heaped against my peo- ple by the white man of America were not half so bad as had been pictured; they were somewhat astounded; even more so were they shocked when I told them that every white man in the United States and Canada who had even amounted to anything was friendly to ward my people. "Nor did I feel ruffled up with pride because my race has produced such able educators as Booker T. Washington. Kelly Miller, Burkhard Dubole, Prof. Scarboughro, such ministers as Bishop Turner, Bishop Gaines, Bishop Payne, Bishop Waters, the Rev. C. T. Walker; such public men as Judge Terrell and Raphael Tyler; such poets as theheatley, John B. Jenkins, John Jenkins and regard the great plan of nature, deJohnson; such painters as H O Tanner, such sculptors as Miss Warwick, pupil of Rodin; such journalists as Minkins, Fortune, Crosby and Waiton, such able women as Mary Church Terrell, Lucy Laney, Jane Bates and Mrs Booker T Washington. "You ask me how it feels to be a Negro When I consider the above facts signed by the Great Ruler of the Universe. I must answer like the coal digger answered me like 'I' been one so long killer feels natural, and I've got so used to it now I wouldn't be anything else." J. M.

The slogan in this company is When in doubt about baseball, see Jim Europe. Manager J Rosamond Johnson believes he has a very formidable team that reason, consequently he personally conducts their daily practice, warning, advising and coaching them in every play. On Friday evening April 9, the members of The Red Moon Company were tendered a smoker by Ed Wunders, proprietor of The Grand Hotel, Syracuse, NY. While the festivities were at their height Edgar Conner sang out, "Entrusted and be merry to night, for to-morrow we're a matinee." Rollen Henry G.

Theo Panky the other day asked Arthur Talbott why he (Talbott) did not get married and increase his happiness whereupon Talbott replied that he would rather stay single and increase his pocket book. Sam Corker says, "It can not be disputed that Venus de Milo was the most beautiful woman of her time. But were she living in this age Venus would have to look well to her laurels when the Red Moon show girls put in an appearance. Sam calls them the "Beauty Rush."

Well, they field and play their positions like the two well known baseball stars. That's why C A H --- (By PAUL PRAYER.) I read with much pleasure your article in a recent issue regarding unclean plays on our stage. In my opinion the managers alone are to blame for this state of affairs, for their moral obligations toward the public are such that they do not hesitate to trade them for dollars and cents. No one expects them to be moralists, members of the Parkhurst Society, nor do we look for them to band together and form any committee of fifteen; but we do not see why our stage should not remain clean and wholesome. Managers do not fear to produce anything that will make money, regardless of how sensational it might be, and while none of us blame any one for wanting to make all he can, yet, when in so doing he disregards all public morals offends the community, we then another question raised. During this percentile question one of our prominent managers was quoted as saying that the theatre has never taken the form of an educator. I am sure the gentleman has been misquoted, for the theatre has always been considered one of the greatest forms of education, and this has dated back years and years ago. To my mind the critics are in a way that blame for the great success that most of these plays enjoy that come under this heading. I remember reading the reviews on the morning after these plays were produced, and most of the critics devoted a column, and some more, to them, and nearly every one described most minutely all the objectionable features. Now this in itself is the best advertisement that plays of this kind can get, and I have in my mind's eye a picture of the manager, as he reads this notice, and prepares to count up house and hands, all the scribes laugh, for of the people who attend these plays, three-fourths go out of mere curiosity. Had the writers on the morning papers after "The Girl from Rector's" was produced said that at Weber's Theatre last night there was a play produced so lacking in dramatic and literary value, and so vulgar that this paper does not permit to comment upon it, but the safe in saying the object would not have lasted two weeks. I am not taking any fling at our critics, for I have the greatest respect for them all, as they are above all honest and have shown that they can be depended upon, but I am only trying to point out why shows with nothing but indecency to commend themselves to the public are successful. It is indeed very gratifying to know that none of our Negro writers have descended to this low form of entertainment, for this in itself is a positive sign that they are all looking upward, and I trust that Messra Cole, Shipp, Rogers and a few others realize that their efforts are being appreciated by all of those interested in the future of the Negro and the drama.

However, the act has no intentions of leaving the United people. Brown and Nevroar are at the 125th Street Theatre this week. If McGraw and his baseball team succeed in winning three games in succession when the season opens, and Meyers, the Indian, distinguishes himself by making several home runs, it will be a difficult matter for Manager Robson to keep certain members of the Red Moon Company in Baltimore next week.

The Brooklyn quint won through superior playing. In the latter part of the contest they became particularly aggressive and seemed to score at will. Scottron and Moore distinguished themselves for the visitors, and Miles played the best game for the home team. Saturday evening the Smart Set quint played at Strong High School, team of Washington, D. C., at Pilgrim Hall, Brooklyn.

"Rat" Johnson catcher of the Gophers, of St Paul, Minn., is training with the club. He expects the Gopher to make an invariable record this season. Vaudeville Entertainment The Pugilistic Situation. Willus Britt and several other other agers are doing all they can to get Champion Jack Johnson rattled and make him do or say something they can make capital out of. However, up to date, the champion has not made any major compositions and has not cut a hole. Program especially arranged by AIDA OVERTON WALKER Supported by Our Best Colored Artists MUSIC===CRAIG'S ORCHESTRA===DANCING Willus Britt, manager of Stanley Ketchell, recently came out in a statement decreeing that unless Johnson agrees to tight Ketchell that he, Britt, will take away the title but all he is doing at this writing is trying to advertise Ketchell with the assistance of Johnson. The present situation is about as Goldberg, of the Evening Mail, puts it as follows. Gen. Admission and Balcony 50c. Boxes $10, $12 & $15 Reserved Seats 75c, $1 and $1.50 Under management of R C.

"Kaufman is the man best fitted to meet Johnson, as far as size is concerned. But he is a million miles out of the colored man's class in ability. Not very long ago Billy Delaney told us under no circumstances would he allow Kaufman to go against Johnson. The widow of John would be more than cold if his more than cold if his miraculous. At this writing Ketchall seems too small to go against the big black. Of course he might have grown a couple of feet since moving over to Philadelphia Willis Britt is his manager Langford might give Johnson a good fight. But where is his coin?" Cofforth will be here shortly and he probably will make a definite offer for a fight between the champion and the man. No other promoters are breaking than necks to put up any real money. That about how it stands." 325 WEST 35TH STREET NEW YORK CITY Under theplease of the LITERARY COMMITTEE at GRAND CENTRAL PALACE Lexington Avenue and 42nd Street In the month Jack Johnson is busy increasing his bank account, and making great preparations to go to England where he will appear in a musical comedy called "Sporting Life" until at least September Tickets on sale at the Nursery 729 West 35th street, Dr. A.

Wednesday Evening, April 21st, 1909 inale by John W. Hoffman's Celebrated Orchestra News From Out of Town SCHOOL WORK AT CALHOUN, ALA. Reviewed for Past Year-"Plantation End" of Hampton-"Tunkeege Movement. CALHOUN, ALA. April 12 During the past year both school and neighborhood work at Calhoun have been going on successfully. A recent report of the work being done was as follows. The Central School has had 250 pupils and a very strong staff of trained teachers and workers have been carrying on the academic and industrial departments. In spite of three successive seasons of short cotton in Lowlands county town houses' farmers have good contact, and the plows of its central neighborhood are now moving for a new crop. The gain in food raising makes the economy promise of the situation to the crucial thing in Southern farming, the land that has paid some $1000 for their land five square miles of plantation country divided into 500 farms so they have no rent to pay but they are learning that with handwashing must go food-raising if an important improvement like a house is to be paid for. This is the struggle which is now on the attempt to pay for farmhouses costing from $100 to $700 and, since the house-bearing farmhouse people have had the wilderness road to travel, made by three successive short crops. Callahon has extended its neighborhood work this year starting two new neighborhood schools which are taught by its graduates. One of these schools is at Sandy Ridge six miles to the south-east, and the other is in Las Vegas. The schools were put up in association with the Jeans Fund for rural schools, which furnished one half the money. The Las Place school house was built by a college graduates and both school houses were furnished with substantial teachers and convenient desks. It will hold school children. The school in Las Vegas has a 400creare farm about it. This farm will be worked by the teacher and help support the school. It will also help in giving agricultural instruction and training to the pupils. The important idea is now spreading in the South that the country district school should have a small school to teach it to help support it efficiently and to give primary training in farming. As the money appropriated to the colored school population of 12,000 in Lowndes county amounted according to the county superintendent's report to only sixty-seven cents per capita last year it is fortunate that Calhoun can operate with the public school system in the county, encourage the better teachers by holding institutes and send out graduates and students to teach and lead the Negroes to tax themselves in increasingly for better schools. Emancipally Calhoun has suffered with other schools in the hard times. The school closed without debt, however last year and is earnestly working on May 11 without the handicap and encouragement of a deficit. It will take $12,000 to pay out. Calhoun stands for a special method. It identifies itself as a settlement with a given territory and population that is with a black majority county. It is an agricultural school promoting small holdings as a basis of home life and helping the children of the four fundamental institutions, the farm the home the school, and the church work together. Thus it may be called the plantation end of the Hampton-Tuskegee movement. It is in the cotton country where the unorganized masses of the Negroes are and Calhoun's central neighborhood has shown that the community taxing and law obedient with standards of life and work slowly but surely moving up. Among the trustees of Calhoun are Dr. Hollis Burke, Jr. president of Hampton Institute; Dr. Booker W. Washington, who selected Lowndes county as a whole hold of work that constituted the main in the black belt of Albemarle and William Lay School felt of New York. Orange. ORANGE N. J. April 12.

His gomarks touched principally on the relations of the Administration toward the South. I cannot give any definite conception of just how it will come about, he said, 'but I am deeply impressed with the belief that great good is going to come to the South under the administration of President Fatt. While a cold, distant unsuspectable President would not necessarily retard the progress of the South it is certain that one with a warm, big heart beating in union with our hearts a mind alert to dissect and a disposition keen to promote what will rebound to our welfare, a theory such that hirtions will not like a tone inspiring hope and stimulating to high joy. No President could effectively help and none would continue to be disposed to help those who are repellent or coldidistant. There is certainly now a happy conjunction. We have a President who sincerely wishes to actively cooperate with us to promote our general welfare and our people believe in him and give him their fullest confidence. It that were all the combination would lack an essential quality. The people of the North as is amply manifested by the public press are in full harmony with the utterances of the President in respect of the South. This is an invaluable condition, for the fraternity cannot come with out their beauty approval and cooperation. The next four years should be a period of great development in the South. An era of general good feeling, emphasized by the great head of the nation on the many occasions that will be presented to him, will give more confidence at home and abroad and both are greatly needed. Capital will not continue to be alarmed as it has been in the past by unkind criticisms. A higher respect for the law and the enforcement of order should and will follow. The prevalence of a kindlier sentiment will bring about a greater tolerance of difference in opinion and promote a free discussion, which always brings enlightenment. The South has been much disposed to present criticism from the outside and stifle it at home. There can be no more fatal bar to progress. There will always be some there as is always the case also where, who prefer the sway of prophets who would rather continue conditions that far appeals to ignorance and passion when rather rather role in a stagnant civilization than is relegated to the obscurity that that often when better ideals prevail and a leadership that embraces in its patriotism the entire country is successful. Economic and industrial conditions will exert a more profound influence in shaping the destinies of the South than they have hitherto. More and more are we realizing the necessity for co-operation. The old civilization of the South in its mature fostered individualism and personal independence at the expense of personal interest. There was a corresponding want of that development which admits people through the influence of corporate capital and the union of allusive forces that the progeny of the general welfare Saratoga Springs.
