COUNTY BOYS HOME
AGITATED BY GERMANN.

q. H German, superinten dent OF
the Union Mission. recently visited
the Glenwood Man dal Training school
farm at Glenwood. Cook county. II
was very much surprised to see such
an extensive institution for the care
of dependent boys of our state" saws
MIR. Germann. The main or admin
istration building is about the center
of a we'll kept. beautiful park. 1t is
built of stone and brick. In a half
circle are the cottages and educational
buildings. At the extreme right of
the main structure is the manual
training school, Just erected at a cost
of $50, 900, the gift of an unkno wn
philanthropist. In connection with
this building is the steam heating and
lighting plant. To the left of the
main building is Clancy hall. or
lures, in a large half circle. are
story brick cottages, the homes
of the boys. Each cottage has
convenient rooms for about thirty
boys. Each cottage has ma
iron and an assistant. The system
for the care and training OF the boys
is most excellent. and the instruc.
tions in industry and cleanliness are
practical. have never seen 800 boys
so we'll behaved and disciplined as in
Glenwood. The authorities tell me
that 90 out of 100 of the inmates be-
come self-supPorting and law-abiding
citizens after leaving this splendid
home. 1t is the desire TO establish
here in connection with the Union
Mission some such institution for tie
care and education of the neglected
boys of Rock Island county, those who
are looked upon as bad simply be-
cause they have no guiding influence.
A boy brought up on the streets with
out mental or physical training and
discipline in many instances winds up
in the reform school. Let's save the
boys-that's the height of my ambi-
ton"

REOPEN MILLER CASE
Authorities Resume investigation
of Mysterious Death of
Milan Girl.
HOPE TO ARRIVE AT SOLUTION
Conclusion Will Be Reached
Within a Few Days--Some
Evidence.

The next few days will probably de.
eide whether any light can be thrown
upon the mysterious death of Miss
Nina Miller, of Milan. which occurred
last winter.
The parents of the unfortunate girl,
and others, have all along chung to
the belief that she had been foully
dealt with and an investigation is now
in progress which, it is hoped, will
get to the bottom of the matter and
possibly fix the RESPONSE bility for her
death upon the guilty parties-if it
can be established that the unfortun-
ate young woman really met with
foul play.
Evidence Secured.
1t is claimed some strong circum-
stantial evidence has been secured, and
that if the details can re solved some
developments of highly sensational
character. involving Il mum Der of per-
sons, is not unlikely.

butlon.and we are sure it will prove to
be one OF this papers popular features
Miss Kirk will discuss all the "issues'
and notions dear to the feminine heart
and she will throw out great msay
shafts of genuine wisdom, SO adroitly
concealed by chatty and vivacious
garb, that the victim will never detect
that she is being treated to a lecture,
Miss Kirk opens her career auspiciousIy
by taking the reader into her conf.
dence, and contessing, without pressure
that she knows it all, and therefore her
representations may safely be taken
without hunting up old encyclopedias
or othernusty literary tones for rev.
lfication. She calmly assumes the
womanly right TO have her own way,
to do or think as her fancy wills, and
to reach conclusions by any method
that suits her convenience. The Col
ored American has the utmost respect
for any member of the fair sex so con.
stituted, and We bow to the inevitable
promptly, for the ultimate result would
be the same anyway. Miss Kirk an

LESSONS OF THE TINES

Recent events-amOng which the
passage of the Virginia Jim. crow car
law is not the least significant com
bine 10 teach the Negro q severe lessen.
We must protect ourselves, The cham
pions OF race prescription and tyranny
have got us on the run. We are max.
ing gains in many directions, and the
future holds out much hope, but our
flank il exposed to the enemy's fire,
and our columns are IN ragged form.
We must organize-not for offeGse, but
defense; not for aggression. but protec-
tion. We must give of our time and
means to the uplifting Of the race, and
check the inroads daily being made
upon our most sacred rights. One by
one, our liberties are being destroyed,
and restrictive laws are binding US
hand and foot. The time has come to
stop talking 80 much and resolving so
frequently-and to ACT. Strong men
must 60 to the front. Weakling., pull
backs, trimmers, camp-followers and
lickspittles are not wanted in places of
responsibility. To the rear with them!
The Negro must make up his mind
to stand by his friends wherever he can
find them. He must have the courage
to support men of liberal ideas and who
are willing to accord to US an equal
chance and fair play in our struggle for
life-whether that man be of this DO
litical faith or that-whether he halls
from the South or North. The Negro's
enemies must be opposed, regardless of
party or personal considerations. Let
US know where every candidate stands
upon the ever-present issue of human
rights, before a allot is cast for him.
Let us make the issue clean-cut and
give our friends and foes square chance
to go on record. If they are with us

The CASE OF MR.. ROBERTS.

1t may be presumptuOus for The
Colored American to set its judgment
against that of nearly three'fourths of
the members of the national House of
Representatives, but it is our opinion
that they blundered egregiously in the
case of Mr.. Roberts, The adoption of
the majority report favoring exclusion,
was in accord with the blundering poll.
cy which characterized the anti Roberts
campaign from start to fniss, and we
believe that many saw the mistake, but
deemed while popular clamor was 30
bitter against the Mormon, that it was
safer to be consistent than just.
AS we said at the outset of this con.
troversy some weeks ago, we have no
sympathy with pOlygamy, nor respect
for polygamists, and Mr.. Roberts con-
tinued presence In the House woulG
have been menace to good morals
But every result should be accomplish
ed in decency and in order, to the end
that dangerous precedents may be
avoided. In government like ours,
which We hope will last until the end
OF time. the interests Of posterity cannot
be too carefully guarded. In this par
ticular case the correct result was
reached but by the wrong method. De-
nying a seat IN Congress to a regular
ly'slected citizen upon unproven charges
is practice that admits of untold cut.
rage when prejudice runs high and ma
jerities are narrow. A Negro might
some day be turned away from the bar
Of the House by just such precedent
as the Roberts case established, and
nothing could be done about it.
In sAsrt, Mr.. Roberts should not
have besn excluded. He should have
been sworn in on the first day. He
was on the same footing as other mem
bers, by virture of his credentials, He
should have been seated; then duly
tried, and upon conviction, expelled.
The law presumes every man innocent
untsl guilt is proven by credible evil
dence. Happily, Mr.. Roberts is out,
but he could have been put out by
methods more in keeping with equity,
legal form and prudent example. Ex-
pulslon not exclusion, was the course to
have beer adopted.
