f1uence of the movement on the masses
of our people. The Negro Conference
is working all ng specific and we'll de-
fined lines; 1t Is seeking to make the
Negro himself improve his own condl
ton, materially, morally, and intellec-
ually."
This Is indeed encouraging to the
thousands of friends Of Tuskegee, who
have watched the course OF the effects
of these conferences continually "The
we'll defined hnes," CT those great gath
erings are known to the public. The
results, of those annual meetings can be
seen on thousand hills in the "Black
belt" of Alabama. Women and men,
who came to the first conference IN OK
carts, with mortgages hanging over
them, have also come in vehicles of the
first order, we'll rounded beasts, and a
deed for their farm or home IN their in
side pockets. The Idea to make the
Negro independent, improve himself,
"materially, morally and intellectual
Iy" has ripened into golden results. To
personally see the good done by meet
ing and discussing, now to best live
and have, and that decently, is to see a
part of the great work, being done at
Tuskegee. That self reliance taught
them has been the reason for the poor
black men in touch with Mr.. Washing
toms practical movement, emerging
from a sleep of thirty-five years, and
that, so to speak, , in one room log cab
in, and doing something; getting prop
erty, building homes, and educating his
children.
Mr.. Washington reasons soundIy, in
telling how the Negro can rise in the
three distinct lines of universal prog
ress.
'sThe ways in which the Negro can
do this are first, to raise his food
supplies "a home; second, to get out Of
debt and make no more mortgages;
third, to stop losfing around town on
Saturday in idleness and drunkenness;
fourth, to oppose at all times the excur'
Sion habit; fifth, to have at least two
rooms to his house; sixth, to prolong
the school term by having q private
supplement fund; seventh, to buy
homes and FARMS"
There can be no finching from this
course. Mr.. Washington in setting
forth these ways, relterates his posi-
tion against immortality, and stands
out for the nia hest development of man
and womanhood. The agitation in fa-
vor of prolonging the school term,
where the state fails to supply, has
been tried In parts of Alabama and
other states, with magnificent results.
The conference lay g especial stress up
on the getting of inviting homes. The
log cabin, which 80 long was the sign
Of colored citizen, is a thing of the
past in great many sections, and com.
Portable homes have taken their places.
Mr.. Washington goes deeper still,
and comparatively stronger, when sf
ter showing US the way he says:
"These are the primary objects and
aims of the Negro conference and they
can be accomplished without the aid O.
sny political party, without forever
com plair ing about prejudice and with
out this country"
The assertion cannot be misunder
stood. 1t goes to the very heart of the
course ofthat most practical body: Pol

The Arrest Of CoNie Mas Wholly
UnWarranted.
CASE DISMISSED BY THE STATE
There Was Nota Particle of Evidence to
Show that Sabins Railroad Concern
Lost "a Cent Through Mr.
CoWie's Connection

The expected happened at the pre-
| liminary examination of T. G.. Cowie,
arrested upon the charge of embez-
Element upon complaint OF Senator
| ID. N Sabin, which came before the
Municipal court last Friday. When
Mr.. Sabin had presented his cause to
| the court, and the matter was
wholly brought out it appeared
that Mr. Cowie had never handled
any of the money Of the Sabin con-
Germ, and that ali the finances that
he had anything to do with were
those of his father-in-'aw DR.. Rice,
with which time checks were pur-
chased. DIR. Rice corroborate6 this
testimony, and the fact was clearly
proven. There was no criticism of
Mr.. Cowie by DR.. Rice, whose
money the former was handling.
After the evidence was all in the
District Attorney moved that the
case be dismissed. This was
promptly done and Mr. Cowie was
given his liberty.
Fred @. Cowie has been looking
after his father-in laws interests in
the Bayfield, & Western Railroad,
and undoubtedly could not be used
as the Sabin end of that concern
desired. At any rate he incurred
the enmity of Senator Sabin by
frustrating certain contemplated
tran saclions between DR.. Rice and
the Senator. Finally upon the day
the county board refused to turn
oyer the railway aid bonds Cowie
WAS arrested upon Sabin's COM
plant Cowie asserted that the
arrest was simply to prevent his
attendance npon a conference be-
| tween the Rice and other factions of
the road that was to have taken
place the following day in Milwau-
kee The fiat failure of the prose
cution 20 make a case seems to bear
this out. Not content with what
appears to have been malignant
prosecution there appeared from
some source or other inspired
articles raking up Cowie's back his
tory, and clipped from Chicago news
papers two or three years old.
1t appears evident that there is in
this railroad promotion business
individuals who do not hesitate at
anything to accomplish their pur-
pose. People who oppose them are
marked and they stop at nothing to
either personally injure them or
their regulations. In the litigation
now on hand no one need be sur
prised at anything enimating from
them or their mouth pieces.
