AN OPINION MOULDER.
Successful Minlster-ColIege President
Editor of Church Organ-A Recog-
nized Leader IN the CouncllS-An in
tereSting Life.

To mould opinion for thousands of
people, and be the only spokesman for
that people, collectively and indiv1du
ally. is indeed high honor and a great
spOnsibllity. The Southwestern Chris.
tiau Advocate, the Off ,isl organ of the
M. E. Church is one of the strong forces
IN moulding public sentiment in this
country. With due respect to the
former editors, for the present magnfii.
cent appearance of that excellent
journal, credit must be given to its
splendid editor and head, DR.. l. B
Scott. DR.. Scott has been preacher
college president and editor and so uI-
like human nature, he makes a pro
found impression in each avOcation,
and each position seems "a congenial to
him as the other.
Wiley University in Texas flourished
while DR.. Scott was at the head OF it,
and the solid foundation upon which ii
now rests, wss builded mora compact
by him. In 1895, the great body of the
NJ. E. Church saw the means by which
to accomplish some good, accordingly
they unanimously selected DR.. Scott to
edit the official organ of the church
DR.. Scott Is indeed a race man in its
brosdest sense; his every energy is for
the uplift Of the masses and his ed1
tOyial page each week is teeming with
thoughtful advice for the whole peo-
pie. he is corresponding secretary OF
the Afro-American Council.
Editor Scott q picture OF whom we
are pleased to present the readers of The
COlOred American, was born IN the
State OF Kentucky, where he lived till
after the death of his father in 1865,
when year later his moved TO Austin,
Texas. He graduated from the classical
department of the Central Tennessee
College in 1880 and after spending
sometime studying theology returned
to Texas to begin his life work. He was
at once appointed a teacher in the
State Normal School which position he
held until he resigned to accept an ap-
pOintment in the Texas Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church to
which he had been transferred from

Lively Scenes and Big C,1Wds on Elmwcoi
Avenue and Eruad Street

There was quite an exhilarating
scene on Elmwood avenue and Broad

sleigh bells rang merrlly up and down
both thoroughfares. Sleighing was by
no means as good as IL might have been
desired, still a great deal OF hearty fun
was obtained, and this is what the
horsemen were looking for. There were
many good horses on Reservoir avenue,
but the strip OF road called the speed
way" stretching from Park avenue TO
the city line, was too lightly covered
with snow 10 permit OF speeding.
The sleighing in Roger Williams park
was good in some places, and many
drivers were interested in the scraping

Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson sees
no hope OF future reduction In the price
Of beef. He says that the grazing areas
OF the Western States are being ex-
hausted at an alarming rate; that the
population Of the United States is in
creasing rapidly, while the supply OF
beef is steadily decreasing; that the
consumption OF beef is growing larger
every year, and that unless new graz
ing lands are opened up or some means
found to check the present reckless de-
struction of the Western grazing
grounds there is grave danger of kill
ing the cattle-raising industry Of the
United States. Accordingly, he expects
prices to rise still more rather than to
fall.
