The ESTABLISHED 1882 Power Of Self-Control Power Of Self-Control Every time we yield to an irritable impulse, we find ourselves out of harmony with the universe. Quick temper is an indication of a lack of mental and moral culture. The ill tempered Christian is not a Christian at all, no matter what his faith may be. There is but one evidence, I believe, in all his life that the gentle Christ ever showed even righteous indignation. Anger is crude, and is an element of our early savage ancestry, when men tore at each other like brutes. Many people imagine it is an evidence of a high spirit to be quick tempered. It is merely an indication of cruelty. The really cultivated man never shows anger; the man whose spiritual nature is highly developed never feels it. He is serene under all conditions. Many of us aim at this state, but few reach it. Yet it is a goal worthy of a life long effort. Every time we yield to an irritable impulse, we put ourselves out of harmony with the universe. Every time we overcome such an impulse and remain calm, we bring ourselves nearer to divine law. We all know the miserable sense of humiliation which follows after a burst of anger. We feel an indescribable emotion of abasement. We have stepped down from our own ideal of ourselves. This is true even of those who imagine that they believe a quick temper to be an accomplishment. That is only an opinion acquired by a false education, while the knowledge that anger is ignoble comes from the Infinite. The habit of ill temper, once acquired, is a difficult one to break. It requires patience and faith and character. Vanity, too, is an aid. A girl who prided herself upon always wearing becoming gowns and hats was once rebuked by a friend for her quick temper. "Don't get in a temper over every little annoyance," the friend said, "it is so unbecoming. It quite spoils your looks when you are in such a mood." The young woman had often been told her temper was a sin and a vice, but she had never before been made to feel that it was "unbecoming" like an ugly but ill fitting frock. She set about the task of controlling her temper, and succeeded admirably. First, she controlled her speech, then she controlled her appearance, and after a time she found her feelings were controlling themselves. In one burst of anger we exhaust enough vitality to take us through days of hardship and deprivation, or to enable us to do some great deed of courage and heroism. In little, continuous ill tempers we dissipate our strength as a leaking gas main wastes its forces, poisoning the air with the element which should be ever served for light and heat. Let us all remember the great "Serenity is power." HALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE MARTINSBURG, W. truth contained in those three words. The noisy thunder does nothing. The silent lightning strikes. The greatest possible aid to the control of that super is to remember that an exh. of an a valgurity. Most of us would rather be vicious than vulgar. The good if serenity far and high, and weary the climb and many the fall; yet, up and on again, for only by reaching it can we attain to the best. NO PEACE ON EARTH Twenty centuries ago the engels are said to have proclaimed "Peace on earth, good will to men." Despite the message of the great Protestant of Callilee, despite the work of thousands who were and are in every way sincere in heralding what they conceived to be his message, the world has anything but peace today, and there is anything but good will among men. On last Christmas the earth was an armed camp. Every country in Europe was agitated by race or close feeling. Even in America there was war and in more of war. Ten thousand truck drivers on a strike in New York; 100,000 garmine strikers and their friends in destination in Chicago; cigar makers of Temple, Fl., in a class war with the masters of the bread; Los Angeles in the throes of a bitter war over the idea of the "open shop;" 15,000 in Pennsylvania evicted from their homes and living in tents on the hills—those things do not look like peace and good will. Agitators threatened with death in Japan; thousands of political prisoners, freezing in Siberia or rotting in Mexico; France, England, Germany, Portugal in turmoil; rebellions on in Mexico and Brazil—amely, however sincere we may have been, we have misused the practical application of the message of Christmas time. They begged the "good fellow" of the land to give thousands of children who otherwise would have no Christmas, a chance—one day in the year! Surely this is not ideal—this is not success. If we can't do better than this we fail. If we can do better, then in doing better we shall realize the aims of the real Friend of the poor who once walked in Jewry, and why should any friend of His oppose that effort! Let us get down to practical ways. Let us go for results. Let us resolve to realize the Christmas ideal, by making this a good and peaceful world for all who live in it. Call this aim what you please, it is right. Laud any theory as you may, if it fails to accomplish this, it is in its working, at fault. All good people ought to unite in an earnest and practical effort to clean the world of Exploitation and make it a safe and happy place in which to live. And exploitation is at the base of all which we feel and know as evil—Appeal to Reason. THE REV. IRL R. HICKS 1911 ALMANAC. The Rev. Irl R.

The present enrollment was reached 96, which is an evidence that the bene- social influence of this institution is reaching all parts of the State and that it is fulfilling the ends for which it was created. The school consists of a farm of 67 acres with ten buildings on it, to with Fleming Hall, McClarke Hall, Athinson Hall, A. B. White's Trades Building, Dawson Hall, President's Home a large green house and barn. It offers fourteen courses. In the Trudda Building for boys are found carpentry, blacksmithing, printing, steam fitting, plumbing, masonry, wheelwrighting and painting. In the Dominic Science Hall will be found grain sowing, dremaking, cooking, maltinery and a well equipped steam laundry, in which all washing and the greater part of the ironing is done by steam. The Literary department gives a good four years course with an additional year in the Teachers Training department for those who are preparing to tenen. The school is proud of its well equipped Commercial Department, in connection with it is a break in which students may deposit money and draw it by check. All the money's of the Institution passes through it giving much practical knowledge of this branch of business. The musical department has the use of six pianos and it offers the best opportunity for the study of vocal and instrumental music in the State and the equal of any in the country. President Prillerman is an agricultural enthusiast, having been resed on a farm, is healthily in favor with the 'Back to the Farm Idea' and it is his intention to assist the Superintendent of Agriculture in securing such facilities as are needed to bring its agricultural work up to the level intended by the provisions of the Morrill Act. Andrew S. Draper Commissioner of Education of New York says 'It is strange that as few schools in the state have considered printing as a desirable form of industrial art work. It is an effective way of teach eg spelling punctuation, and composition. It makes possible the application of border lines, lettering and spacing which is emphasized in the drawing course. It develops neatness, orderly arrangement, taste and appreciation of colors. The West Va. institute is justly proud of its well equipped printing department. The aim is to teach the fundamental principles of printing. 1st. Printing as an art. 2nd. Printing as an art preservative of all arts. Every student, who has completed the work in this department has been able if he desired to work at his trade Clarence A Wilson is foreman of the Foreign Mission Publication Office of Louisville Kentucky. Joseph Lane, foreman of Mountain Leader Pub. Co. Charleston, W. Va. De Witt Moss formally with the McDowell Times Keystone W. Va. The Institute Monthly is out in Magazine form. The cover has a neat and attractive design in black and gold. The Monthly is the school organ and Mr. E. M. Burgess, instructor in printing is receiving many compliments on the artistic appearance of the journal. Prof. S. H. Guss, the editor in charge is receiving much valuable comment on its contents. All the printing is done by the students. Mechanical Drawing. The Mechanical drawing department under Prof. A. G. Brown and the Carpentry department under Prof. W. A. Spriggs have sent out from these departments some of the best practical examples of the value of industrial trapping and the school is proud of them. Leonard Brown, class 10 took the most advanced course in Mechanical drawing and immediately after graduation took the contract, drew the plans and superintended the erection of an eight room two story residence with modern improvements for Mr. Robert Pack at institute. Among other young men who are succeeding are G. H. Beau, class '05, Mask Holmes, class '04 contracting and building some of the best residences in Charleston. M. T. Obie '07, is succeeding in Clarksville and many others who were not able to complete their course are making honest livings. This shows what industrial training will do for a young man who enters upon his work in the proper spirit. State Summer School. The first State Summer School held in West Virginia was held at the West Virginia Colored Institute last summer, June 27 August 5. There were 400 teachers in attendance from all sections of the state and from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Tennessee. A course of lectures were delivered by Hon. M. P. Shawkey, State superior (Continued On Second Page) METHUSELAH DIED IN BOYEOD. Methuselah, the oldest man mentioned in the Bible, died, as life was reckoned in his day, when a more boy, according to Prot. Walter Freeman Cooling, author of the science of Comparative Mythology. Prof. Cooling declares that when the lost Titanic language of the prehistoric ages is restored and translated, it will give the secret of the long lives of the men of those ages and will teach modern man and women how to draw sustenance from the earth so it will make them live a thousand or more years. He related this in the second of a series of lectures at Handel hall, Chicago, 29, December 1910. SHORT SIGNITED Crocodiles cannot distinguish a man at distances exceeding ten times their length. Fish are very short sighted. The vision of most serpents is poor, the boa constrictor, for instance, being able to see no further than one third its own length. Some snakes see no further than one-eighth of their own length. Frogs are far better endowed, for they can distinguish objects clearly at a distance of twenty times their own length. The bearing of nearly all reptiles is even worse than their vision. Most of them are quite deaf. The phrase "deaf as an adder" represents the careful observations of our forefathers. WANTS MERGING OF RACES. Because fashionably dressed white women rubbed elbows with Negroes, Japanese and Chinese and applauded speeches advocating the intermarriage of all races at a dinner given the night of the 25 ulf., the newly organized "Cosmopolitan Society of America" has been severely criticised. Josephus Lipes, who acted as toastmaster, explained the objects of the organization. "It will nurture a fraternity of all peoples," he said. "Incidents of birth or station will be ignored and a common brotherhood worked out." The organization started out with a membership of nearly a thousand Anecdotal Literature BY W. G. JUST THE KIND. A lecturer was touring through the country and delivered an address before an audience in a country schoolhouse. In the course of his tours, the spoke of the agricultural prospects of the country, and as an illustration cited the case of a poor farmer who, on dying, left to his wife the tarot heavily mortgaged. The widow set to work with a will, and succeeded in one year's crop of wheat in paying off the debt. After this lecture, a noted aged man approached him and said, "Sir, please tell me who that yellow in She is just the kind of a woman I have been looking for all the time. A E A L E. Two horses were walking, one going south, and the other north, both being blind of one eye. The horse going south saw only the river and he gazed upon it with raptors bright and sparkling. The one going north saw only the landscape crowned with flowers and green grass. When they met, the one going south said, "Sea the river sparkling in the sunlight, truly a glorious sight." "I do not see the river," said the one going north; but I see the forest and hills and flowers; in all their beauty. "I do not understand you," said one. A mole, who was digging in the ground nearby, said: "Fool! what silly talk is this! and crept back to his dut. Moral—Envy and prejudice are both blind of one eye. LARGE AND CAPITAL. Two men were shoveling coal into buckets of equal size. The one that filled his bucket first remarked consoitably to the other, "My bucket is filled first." You are not smarter than I am, remarks the other, but you are just used to stooling coal - therefore you work faster." THE WEST BACHVOL. A fly, caught by fly paper, axed to another "Come and have a taste of this excellent sugar." "The other replied, "No thank you, "I prefer the bitter with freedom, to the sweet with slavery." A suburban chemist had advertised his patent insect powder far and wide. One day a man duced into his shop and said excitedly: "Give me another half pound of your powder, quick please?" "All right" said the chemist, so he proceeded to fill the order, "I'm glad you like the powder." "Yes," replied the customer, "I have one cockroach very ill, if I give him another half pound, he'll die sure." Mr. Editor, I thank you for the present of the memoirs of the three Johns, but also they've grown up in smoke, and left me nothing but the ashes." AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVIATED TO THE MORAL, RELIGIOUS AND FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN LIK. SATURDAY,FEBRUARY 18 1910 Something truthfully, honestly, tersely, intelligently and advantageously is going to be said and done for his race, now that Mr. F. H. M. Murray is at the head of the National Union. --- In a great many places there were joint Lincoln and Douglass celebrations. We see nothing wrong with such an arrangement, because they were two of the world's greatest characters, and the fact that both were born on February 12th, is an additional reason why the natal day of each can be celebrated at the same time. Now that millions of people in China are dying from the effects of starvation, what a blessed time for Mr Carnegie to forget his library hobby, and relieve the world's poor, acting hearts for those poor dying people. His libraries are in most sections caste cursed and governed to the exclusion of the poor who want to read, but in this case it would be enameled by God's loving reward. A Clarkersburger who was on a visit is quoted as saying that scores of men were in the court room at Clarksburg armed when William Furbish was tried there last week for assaulting Miss Flora Anglin, and were determined that he should die if the jury had failed to convict him. If the Clarksburger is correctly quoted, we are of the opinion that Judge Lynch and Prosecutor Morris should make an investigation, and instigate some immediate prosecutions under the Johnson pistol toting law. --- The great writer, Howard Chandler Christy, the world famed artist, has completed his work for an encyclopedia relative to the great battle of San Juan Hill, and has left out Ex President Theodore Roosevelt, because he was not in it. Mr. Christy was there, and tells the world that Mr. Roosevelt "was not in the battle of San Juan proper." He further on says: "He and his rough riders were three quarters of a mile away during the San Juan Hill charge attacking Kettle Hill." This ought to rank the Colonel side by side with Dr. Cook the North Polo explorer, and since the former has gone on the stage why not the latter join—what a pair they'd make. --- If our continued contention, that boarding of food products by the rich speculators of this country is not true and responsible for high prices exposed, why have they, soon as reciprocity between Canada and America is about settled, come down? notwithstanding Secretary Wilson, head of the Agricultural Department at Washington, told the world that it was attributable to the higher living of the rich people? Whoever heard of eggs in Chicago, in February, being 8 and 10 cents per dozen, and fresh eggs 16 cents before? The truth is, these hoarders forsee their doom, and have unlocked the necessaries of life to the poor people, and if they have good sense, they will not eat them. If Dr. Tanner fasted forty days years ago and is still living and is now going to try it again for eighty days, and says he is going to live 100 years and then get married, surely the poor people can fast long enough to ruin the rascals who have starved and robbed them for years. Truly tariff enriched the rich, impoverished the poor, and gave birth to trusts. If the Democratic party has enough mean white men in its ranks to pass a jimcow car bill, let it be done, for sure as 2 and 2 are 4, it will be undone, or the state of West Virginia will have the only class of Negroes to live in it, the South wants, has and is telling the world is a testering hell—the ones whose manhood has been crushed out and whose blood is flooded with servility. It drove from Virginia some of its best women and men, and it will do the same if it passes in West Virginia. The Negroes must go and ally themselves with a better class of white people. Germany declares she could take the American Negroes in war and compete with the world, and Japan has made overtures to them, as has France. Unless treated right here, our advice is go every where—especially where you are treated the best; and wherever you go trust in God and be manly men and womanly women. A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z. The other day a man at San Francisco, California, talked for an hour with an operator in Japan—a distance of 5,700 miles. "The messages were passed across the Pacific with one relay." How natural for us to marvel at the age in which we live. Yet how natural it is to assume that a hundred years hence will witness this age as far behind as this does the one past. In the event of a war or wars,how can wireless messages be sent over land and water secretly? Every nation will have its spies and interpreters, and every country's plans and purposes made known. A hundred years from now, this country will be laughed at for having built and fortified the Panama Canal, for, in less time than we can write this editorial, destruction can follow its completion by bombs dropped from airships. In the cutset, it was believed its proposed construction was for commercial purposes, but since it is now the problem how best to fortify it, what focus up in the most dullard's mind but it was to a means of an end to war? ```markdown ``` The Cosmopolitan Society of New York, which is composed of fashionable whites, Negroes, Japanese and Chinese, numbering nearly a thousand, formed for the purpose of burrying on the real practise of the golden rule, as divinely required by the fundamental law on the basis of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God, is being adversely criticised. All they did was to meet together, discuss the situation and decide to live in union as an example to better conditions. They believe one human being is as good as another so far as color 'degrades' him, and so does ye editor. They danced together and ate at the same table. The same things were done in the South for centuries, and in every Southern town can, every day be seen, the finest and refined white ladies riding in buggies, and autos side by side with the blackest of Negro men and not a word is said—indeed they feel proud to do so, because it was and is customary. Of course these black men are servants. Insamuch as those people in New York take no exception to it in the South, why should the South take exception to what they do in the North? The New York Tribune seems armed and ever on the firing line against the soldiers of the war of the rebellion. Where would it be had not the old soldiers it is now opposing left their homes and loved ones to fight for the protection, and perpetuity of this country? Why has it not opposed the raise of congressmen's salaries and all the other officials whose pay has been increased? Just this week all the Supreme Court judges' salaries were raised to many more thousands of dollars per year. The Chief Justice's salary is put up to $15,000 per year and his associates to $14,000 per year. Their is an easy job, while the poor soldier's was worse than a dog's life, but not a word has the Tribune said about it, and there is not much danger of it saying anything. Our sympathy is with the poor old soldiers, and if we had our way all would have at least $30 per month—those called rebels and those called unionists. The South should be made to pay all of its soldiers, for they suffered for the wrongs that section of this country made and had nothing in common to fight for, from the fact slavery made it as hard for them as it did for the slaves.

Our Students. The work of the West Va. Colored Institute continues to grow. Each year the Institute is sending into all parts of this state and other states, young men and women as teachers, mechanics and agriculturists. The school is proud of its graduates who are living large lives of usefulness. Many students come to us crude and untrained, and circumstances prevent their getting full advantage of the literary course, but they get the spirit of the school, respect for industrial training and learn to regard the soil as a source of the country's wealth, and above all, the importance of character to an individual and to the community. Institute is growing in numbers and influence and fulfilling the purpose for which it was created. How the influence of Institute is widening is shown by the number of different states contributing to its student body, viz : West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, Michigan, Missouri, Massachusetts, Alabama, North Carolina and Africa. Where Some Of Our Institutes Miss Katherine G. McRoberts, '03 is the teacher of military at Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio; Mr. C. C.

Booker has charge of demonstration work under the United States Department of Agriculture in Mississippi; Roscoe C. Beans is a proficient book keeper in Norfolk, Virginia. President Petterman is a man of unquestioned moral character, a man to whom one could pay unreserved and unqualified honor, he is well known and loved in West Virginia for his worth and work. He is easily approached and because of this quality he is popular with all classes and well fitted for the position he now holds. More than a quarter of a century in educational work in West Virginia has proven his insight and practical wisdom. No man in the State has contributed more to the excellent system of education that West Virginia is giving to its Negro youth than President Prillerman. He is a close friend and ardent admirer of Booker T. Washington and had charge of the educational tour of the Washington, ton party made through the State. He originated the idea of the organization of the West Virginia Teachers' Association which held its eighteenth annual meeting in Hinton, West Virginia in November 1910, and it is largely due to his untiring zeal, that it has reached its present high standard. President Prillerman was with the institution when it opened its doors in 1892 and his interest and influence has contributed much to present success. Winter Term. The winter term began January 4. 1911. All dormitories are well filled with students and it is very necessary that the legislature make provision for the accommodation of the increasing number of students asking admission to our Institution. One of the pressing needs for the present is a dining hall, a separate building with modern equipment for practice school and a store room. ATTACK LIKE TIGERS. In fighting to keep the blood pure the white corpuscles attack diseases germs like tigers. But often germs multiply so fast the little fighters are overcome. Then see pimples boils, erzema, salt rheum and sore muscles multiply and strength and appetite fail. This condition demands Electric Bitters to regulate stomach, liver and kidneys and to expel poison from the blood. "They are the best blood purifier," writes C. T. Budana, of Tracy, Calif., "I have ever found." They make rich, red blood, strong nerves and build up your health. Try them. 25c. at all druggists. GORILLA AND BULL DOG A battle to the death between a gorilla and an English bulldog, in which the gorilla was victorious, was fought at New Iberia, La., with almost the entire male population of the town as spectators. Much money was wagered. A pen twelve feet square and eight feet high, with seats on all sides, was arranged for the combat. The dog and gorilla were placed in the pen about midnight. Two and a half minutes later the dog was dead. The dog leaped at the gorilla immediately after being placed in the pen. The gorilla caught the dog just as a man catches a base ball, then bit quickly through the dog's snail into the brain, broke its back and tore it to pieces.

But a duplicate set was kept by the photographer—who died poor and broken down; that duplicate set was knocked from pillar to post for nearly 50 years, until it was discovered by a New England collector. J. Pierpont Morgan tried to secure the collection—Ex-President Garfield and General Benjamin F.

It is the one accurate, impartial history of the Civil War—for the camera cannot lie. It tells the story of the War you never heard before. Taken under protection of the Secret Service, these photographs bring to light thousands of little-known phases of the war; they penetrate to strange places and record strange things.
