Wiley on the Negro.
From the Kansas City Star.

MIR. Whitley, Of Missouri, now ol
Yale, is severely criticised for de-
clining to compete with a negro in
an oratorical contest. Perhaps Mr..
Whitley feels that it is like COM
petition with a girl, all the advantage
is on the other side. If a man de-
feats woman in an oratorical COM
petition he is told that it is no more
than he ought to do; if the prize is
given to the women he is jeered and
derided. The same rule applies to
contests with negroes. Take into
consideration the fact that in such
contests the judges viii almost in
variably, the contestants being pref
ty well matched, give the negro
the benefit of all doubts, and Mr.,
Whitley has good reason to decline.

That Newspaper Man.

Here's the way one of Missouri's
editors pictures the troubles ofnews-
paper men:
A newspaper man has no business
to aspire to or seek an office. It's
his business to try and get an office
for the other fellows; to sound the
praise of the candidate and keep
quiet above his feelings; to whoop-
her-up for his man and then let his
man forget all about him after he
gets elected; to defend his candidate
against the unjust attacks of the op-
position and then see that whatever
favors his candidate has to bestow
go to the other fellow. It's his
business to boom the city for all it
is worth month after month and
then see 800 worth of printing go
out of the city because 10 cents can
be made by 50 doing. It is the bus
mess of the newspaper to give every
local enterprise enthusiastic and fire.
quent "send-offs," and then catch
sheol because he failed to record the
TACT that some prominent citizen has
had his delivery wagon painted. To
subscribe literally to every public,
charitable and church enterprise ,ad-
vertise them for. nothing pay his own
way to everything and then be called
prejudieed and mean-spirited be-
cause a column is not devoted to
that particular affair. Do you Won
der there are many cranks in the
newspaper business? 1t is bound to
make either crank or a philosopher
