Fear We not" said Moses to the peo-

for you and We shall hold your peace u
Ever since the negro of the South ap-
peared in the political arena the battle
between the white and the black has
been on. In fact, it seems to me at
this writing that the battle between
renewed between the white and the
the black. Without Richmond or
Washington as the objective of either
one of the contending parties. With
fr the trouble. Upon the one side, we
have General Ignorance, "Msjor
Poverty" and Colonel Weak" array
ed against General Intelligence, y
Major Prejudice" and Lieutenant
Power Here is surely distinction,
with very material difference
"knowlcdge is power" Brain is the
lever which moves the world and sways
the scepter of nation. Moses, it may
be remembers was the leader and the
deliverer of his people from an Egypt
ian bondage, which was of a longer
duration and was more degrading to
its subjects than the bondage endured
by the negroes of the South. Never
theless, under these peculiar circum-
stances, he advised the hotly-pursued
Israelites tn fear not; to stand still; and
to hold their peace! For well did he
know their inability to fight their own
battles, or to contend successfully v
against the Egyptians. So would say
a true moses to the negroes of the
South.
| now see, or Moses saw. the hand
of Providence guiding and directing
the whole affair. For many years /
have been of the opinion that the slav-
cry of the South was blessing in dis
guise. What was the condition of the
first negroes that were brought TO this
country from Africa in 1919? Was he
not savage pure and simple? What
is the condition Of the negro in the in
terror of Africa to-day? Is his eondi-
into, even in his so-cailed freedom, any,
thing to be compared to the lowest class

Gloomy But Not Hopeless.

| While any uncertainty remains in
regard 20 Mr.. Parnell's course the Irish
situation Will be uppermost in the
minds of many people in this country
| rs well "a in Great Britain md Ireland.
| The reason for this is on the surface.
| While Parnell continues his campaign
of selfistness he can distract even if he
cannot divide the Parliamentary ma
| jority, and even worse than this, lis
| course must lead to words and acts
th at cannot fail to discredit Parliament
ary agits ton. Already it is said the
| physical force faction has wHkened into
renewed activity and is reviving the
| secret organizations which more than
anything else would ALLEVIATE English
support.
1t may be true that a physical force
movement is in course of organization,
but it does not follow that Mr.. Parnell
will be " ling to place himself at the
head of the wild and impracticable
partisans of violence who have always
manifested great repunguance to- Psrli-
ameptary agitation. At the ssme.time
the temptation Is one to which he
might allow himself to yield. In his
desperation he has done many things

repudiate the methods that he has al
ways pursued. Those who are fore
most in supporting him now were the
least willing to accept his leadership
before, and even if he stops short of
adopting their measures they will dis
credit hIm as they have always discred-
tied Ireland.
It will be see from all this that TIE
situation in Ireland is a gloomy one.
but 1t is by no means hopeless.
Time is the element that is needed
most OF all TO strengthen the Irish
Nationalists at home and for the re-as-
surance of the friends Of home rule
in England. This is not likely TO be
denied them. The love of the present
Tory Ministry for power is ia itself
safeguard against a general election.
Two years cannot fail so make greater
change for the better In the Irish situ-
alion.-Phttadetphta Times.

So warm the doors and windows stood

for Caledonia. How sweet the ail
smelIed! how beautiful the world look
ed that morning. AS Ifode thought
what lovely world 10 live in. Before
I had got the Gum springs, l thought
[ felt cool puff of wind strike my face.
In a few minutes [ saw, way in the
north, fog like bank coming up. Be
fore had reached the granite quarry
the sun had gone out of sight. Oh,
how the wind did cut, loaded with fro
zen mist, I never felt such sudden
change. In few minutes the world
was shut out of sight. 1t was awful.
The air SO filled with such fine snow it
penetrated every inch of my clothing.
My horse suffered terribly, I could
hardly make him face the wind. At
ter what seemed life time we reached
Caledonia more dead than alive.
When | tried to get down from my
horse | was so numb / fell to the
ground. At last reached the door of
Miss Jones store. My hands were SO

far recovered as to speak spoke of the
mail bags. One Of the ladies said you
Deei not worry about the mail, my
black man has taken it to the office aud
will see to all that, so you just drink

stable and one of the black boys will

How often when going over in mind,
