Guy, of Topeka, Kansas, in his annual address before the Inte-State Literary Association at Kansas City, Missouri, on the evening of December 26, gave utterance to some very valuable truths relative to Negro Journalism. So sensible and practicable were these truths that we are delighted, with his consent, to reproduce them for the benefit of our patrons. After speaking of the greatness of the American Press, he spoke as follows concerning the work of the Negro-American Journalist:— "It is within the province of this organization, being a literary one, to insist on a higher standard of journalism among our people. The press can be a potent factor for good or evil. It should always be for good. Poor journalism or journalism aimed at—is conducive of evil rather than good. You have heard the cry for an educated ministry, but I tell you it is better to demand an educated journalism. Nothing is more powerful than the press—nothing goes so far toward moulding public sentiment. But if the blind lead the blind both fall. "The rights of the editor and those of the subscriber are reciprocai. He has the right and it is his dutv-for there is no right without a duty and no duty without a right-to demand that we read and pay for his paper. We have the right and it is our duty to demand that his journalism is our money's worth. our money's worth. "It is within the province of this Society to foster the propagation of that sort of journalism among our people as will create and establish healthy public sentiment." "Such a journalism would forever dethrone the self-constituted leader as well as the one that is created and established by a few for selfish and mercenary purposes." "It is within the province of this Society to foster the propagation of that sort of journalism among our people as will create and establish healthy public sentiment.

He has taken a sensible stand. His contention is who are moved by a desire to do something. Conditions now demand a coterie of their business to observe conditions and instantly, void of fear. Final advancement will be greatly accelerate, conscientious editors to unite their energy, writers, teachers, professional men, business are laboriously pushing to the front.

His content on for a class of journalist, who are moved by a desire to do something, is both just and wise. Conditions now demand a coterie of editors, who will make it their business to observe conditions and then speak of them intelligently, void of fear. Our racial advancement will be greatly accelerated, when we have more conscientious editors to unite their energies with conscientious ministers, teachers, professional men, business men and others of us, who are laboriously pushing to the front. We need, want and must have a journalistic personnel that teaches and preaches the spirit of concord and unity, instead of strife and incredulousness among us. We want editors, who are such because they love the work and mean to make journalism a life work, instead of using it as a medium to lift them into a job. Any one, who reads Mr. Guy on Journalism, must be convinced of their duty, both as publisher and patron. Public sentiment must be properly trained, if we would succeed admirably. Journalism is the great generator of this potent energy in our racial as well as our national life. Hence, it is up to us as to whether we foster healthful sentiment or not. If we throw our support to the fire-brand, who delights in stirring up racial prejudices, inter-racial animosities and personal bulldoggery, we may hope to see the sentiment of the people trending towards the shoals of hurtful uncertainty. But, if we will stand by the conservatively conscientious editors, who are constructionists in work and sentiment, instead of destructionists, we may, indeed, be assured that conditions will be perceptably changed for the betterment of the nation, state, community and the race.

If our It has become necessary for us to explain the true significance of the Blue Cross on page three. Many of our subscribers have had this mark presented to them several times. But for some reason they fail to make any manner of response. Probably they do not understand what it means. If such be the case we shall endeavor to give them a lucid description of its significance. It means that your subscription is past due and if you mean to do the right thing it means for you to give us some kind of a reply relative to your account. It means that the management needs the money to liquidate its debts and to meet running expenses. If our subscribers will be a little more prompt in the payment of their debts to us—as prompt as they are to kick when something goes wrong, we could remove many of the things that produces kicks. That Blue Cross means that the editor's mind is tightly wedged between the pressman and the "devil, a very enviable position. May we conclude with this recommendation, that you, when you see the Blue Cross, send a kind word or a money order to the publisher. Bear this in mind peka, Kansas, in his annual adry Association at Kansas City, Mis 26, gave utterance to some very Journalism. So sensible and practic delighted, with his consent, to our patrons. After speaking of us, he spoke as follows concerning Journalist:— in accordance with our merit. 'It is not enough that a paper contains a mention of Tom, Dick and Harry, Sallie, Katie and Nancy—that it carries all the 'ads' the manager can procure after a diligent canvas of a month or two, but it should contain thought—new thought, new ideas—fresh but not green—ideas ripened by the maturity of thought—ideas that when once conceived and put into execution, go down on the credit side of life's ledger and go to the benefit of mankind regardless of race or nationality. "We need a journalism labeled neither black nor white, with thoughts expressed in language as will convince the judgment of the reader, that the editor, if not a person of high Christian character, is at least not a grafter and demagogue, lying in wait for the victim from whom he may filch a pecuniary consideration without giving value received therefor. "Such a journalism would forever dethrone the self-constituted leader as well as the one that is created and established by a few for selfish and mercenary purposes." He stand. His content on for a class and desire to do something, is both demand a coterie of editors, who observe conditions and then speak of it will be greatly accelerated, when we unite their energies with conscious men, business men and others to the front.

A few of them have been answered by the state superintendent as follows: 1. The home instruction given in lieu of the school must be regular and during the usual school hours every day equivalent to the instruction given in school. 2. The court, not the teacher, school clerk or truant officer, may excuse. The court need not excuse children on account of their living two and one-half miles from the school. Able-hodied healthy childred go further than that without considering it a hardship. 3. A child may be excused by a court if it can not procure proper clothing, but not on account of inability to buy books. The school board must furnish books. It is hoped that there will be a charitable organization in every school district to furnish clothing when necessary. 4. It is the duty of the Attendance officer, or district clerk in a district not having attendance officer, to prosecute parents who fail to comply with the law after due notice has been given. 5. A parent who thinks he has good and sufficient excuse for not sending his child to school should not wait to be notified. He should secure written excuse from the court and have it ready to present when notified. The law does not contemplate that court wait for prosecution. Secure excuse and stop prosecution. 6. The attendance law is not in conflict with section 9794 which gives school boards authority to suspend or expel pupils from school. When the conduct of a child is such as to demoralize the school he should be sent to the state reformatory. No child should be turned out of school for slight infraction of the rules.

"Just as soon as we know that the bank in which we had deposited our little all had failed, Ethel went to work in the straw factory and Hetty is learning dressmaking. I am sorry to say that Judy is still a little flighty—very fond of pretty clothes, and not so sensible as the others. Judy must help, but I don't know what she can do." "Judy! Fudge! I suppose she means Susan Jane," said Miss Pringle to herself. "Well, I can't have her here, and that settles it." Nevertheless, this is the letter that made its way by the next day's mall to the small gray house, under the shadow of a great bald-pate mountain, where poverty had flown in at the door: "Dear Sister Phoebe: I have been thinking that it would be handy to have a spry young girl to help me in the store. But she must be sensible and have good judgment, besides being spry, because I may want to send her to the city to buy goods. If you think your youngest, Susan Jane, can learn to do as I want her to, send her along." "Sense and good judgment! Why, Judy won't do!" exclaimed Hetty, with sisterly frankness, when she read the letter. This seemed the general opinion of the family, but nevertheless it was decided that Judy should go. "They don't think I am good for anything," said Judy to herself. "But they shall see." She looked back through the blinding tears at the little gray house. There were handkerchiefs waved from it as long as the stage was in sight. Hosy, the only boy, who was lame, waved his cap on the end of his crutch. "You're not pretty, and that looks as if you might have some sense," said Aunt Jane, by way of greeting. But the parrot was polite and entertaining, and the little dry goods shop fascinating, and Poppleton's main street was gay. Slowly, but surely, Judy's spirits rose. Of course the new assistant made some mistakes. But she rearranged the shop windows to the great satisfaction of her aunt, who was inwardly conscious that she herself was not "tasty," and lacked an eye for color. And she advanced several new ideas which Miss Pringle instantly recognized as improvements. Christmas was coming—an anxious time in shopkeeping—and Aunt Jane was educating her niece up to a great undertaking. She had long dreaded the necessary trip to the city for goods, on account of the faintness that was apt to come upon her when she was in crowds, and now she was beginning to think that she might trust Judy to go in her stead. Judy's taste could certainly be trusted and she was self-reliant and a ready rechoner. With a definite and exact list of the articles wanted, Miss Pringle decided that her niece could go to the city and buy the Christmas goods. "There are always Christmas novelties and attractive bargains," she said. "I am going to give you $20 extra and leave the purchases to your discretion." What would they say at home? Judy felt several inches taller as she walked to the station. The list first. It was long and uninteresting. Experience had taught Aunt Jane just what kinds of fancy soaps and candy baskets would sell best and those articles were all set down in rigid detail. But while she was making these unexciting purchases, Judy's heart and eyes were all the time wandering in search of the fascinating Christmas novelty, by which she meant to convince Aunt Jane of her business talent. It was when she was buying a piece of red cashmere that she caught sight of a brilliant parasol. A salesman removed it from its casing and suspended it conspicuously above the counter; it was of red silk with elaborate flounceings of chiffon like loveliest gossamer. Judy gazed upon it in breathless admiration. Another parasol was suspended beside the first; this was of paleest white with white floundings. There was one all of chiffon—"old rose," the clerk called the color (it was unknown to Crow Hill). Its handle was of twisted wood that gave out a faint, delicious perfume. "Selling at retail for a song. Don't want to keep them over because white is going to be the rage next year," explained the clerk to some one who remarked that it was unusual to see parasols at Christmas. "Six and seven-dollar parasols—all for a dollar and a half." Judy tried to be practical—not to let her esthetic sense run away with her "business bump." She knew her weakness for a parasol and a fan; they had laughed about it at home. But other people liked beautiful parasols. They would add the touch of color and grace that it was always impossible to obtain with Miss Pringle's sternly useful commodities. She believed, too, that they would stand her aunt's crucial test of values, that they would sell! A crowd of women was collecting round the parasols, which the clerk was still hanging up. "I will take 13," said Judy, firmly, and her heart beat like a trip-hammer. The crowd gazed at her; even the clerk looked astonished. "Parasols! Thirteen parasols in the dead of winter! Susan Jane Follansbee, are you crazy!" cried Aunt Jane, shrilly. "I couldn't sell a parasol any way unless it was a good, stout black ear." But Judy felt that even the little buildings were up on hard to bear as the darkness fell... that second when keeping. It was not much longer b: before a case of doll's straw hats traveled regularly to Ethel's hands to the same manufactory, and Kithel's toil was lighter, and her gains heavier in consequence, and her dreams of a firm in which Judy has dreams of a firm in which Ethel and 'Heily and she will be partners, and Hosy—who is at present under a great surgeon's care—will be the general manager and bookkeeper.— riages and the dressing of doils. It was profitable work, and if Judy would like to try, Miss Betty thought she could manage to get her the opportunity. If she would like it! Judy swallowed what seemed to be a whoish bucketful of tears and let one roll off her nose by answer; and Miss Betty perfectly understood. It was not long before a packing case traveled regularly between Miss Pringle's store and Mr. Armstrong's great manufactory, and Judy did work that the loved, that brought her as much money as all Aunt Jane's shop. they've never asked us before, though they've asked lots of Poppeton folks," said Aunt Jane, a little resentfully. That was after she had collapsed upon the lounge again, this time for pure delight and without the veil. They went to the entertainment and had a delightful time. Miss Betty sought Judy in an interval between the performances. She said she had been thinking of what Judy had told her about wanting to be good for something, and make happier times at home, and she thought she knew of something that would be 'profitable, and would not interfere with the shop-keeping. Her father was a manufacturer of toys, and from his establishment work was given out: work that required only taste and a little knack at sowing—the covering of the dolls parasols and canopies for dolls' car purchased them, and being drawn out of herself perhaps by the excitement of good fortune, told her how she wanted to help them all at home. Miss Betty was very kind and sympathetic, and before she went away asked Judy to come to her house to the minstrel show on Christmas night, and bring her aunt. "They never asked me before though the square thing. "They were bought at a bargain," she said at last, in a faint, but firm voice. "I can sell you the whole for $40." The bargain was very soon concluded, and then Miss Betty was suddenly seized with curiosity. "It doesn't seem like Miss Priggle to keep parasole," she said, looking around. Judy told her customer that she had SHE DREW OUT THE PARASOLS. Jane's eyes, and her determination to do what was known at Crow Hill as "the square thing." per, knitting her brows; she was trying to calculate how much profit her conscience would allow her to take. Aunt Jane, so carried away by excitement as to peep through a crack, regarded her hesitation as business diplomacy. Judy still reckoned with an anxious brow, divided between her desire to justify her "business bump" in Aunt **reixalt** "Seven dollars—wh-e-wi!"

Judy made haures on a piece of na- I must be lovely, for love, 'AnI murmured Betty, admiringly, "And to give the girls who take part in the tab- "I—I have a few more." The color rushed to Judy's temples and her heart trumped as she drew from the packing case under the counter, one after another, the parasols she had thought she would never care to look at. "There'd be lovely for flavors. All!" "We ought to have decorations like this for the girls to carry in the minibus show" said Mia Siew. "It too bad we didn't think of it." "It's Miss Betty Armstrong," she declared. "I heard the family had come, with a lot of visitors, to spend the holidays. That great house on the hill is where they spend their summers. I'll leave you to wait on her, because I ain't dressed up." Aunt Jane harried into the back room, but she left the door ajar. "I want to look at that paranoid—it's such a lovely shawl!" Miss Betty Armstrongs, who had come rushing in, accompanied a tall young man. "And what a delightful handle!" she added, as Judy passed it across the counter, Judy was glad Aunt Jane had let the door "jar." only an hour or a couple of Anist Jane was thrown into a dutter by the steward of a very stylish young woman crossing the street. mug sign. She took heart of grace, however, for she still believed a little in her bargain, and begged her saint to let her display one of the parasols—only one—in the shop window. Aunt Jane said she should expect to be sent to the insane asylum, having a parasol in her shop window in December, but she was so discouraged that she did not care. The parasol had been in the window.
