 Bells attorneys in brief contendcd that although the law requiring bond for costs in election cases only requir. ed state, district, county and town ship officers to give bond, that by i'm plication the municipal offices were also included.

 VI The plaintiffs, for cause of action, 'ntate that they are citizens of the city ISf Searcy, Ark; that in the year of 4SSS the citizens of said town, or a

Yarnell for the purpose of conveying the same to the defendants, and on the - day of - 1897, the said Skillern and Tar nell did. by their deed of conveyance, convey said property to defendants. A copy of said deed is hereto attach ed as part hereof, marked A; that said defendants immediately took pos session of said property for school purposes, and after changing the name of the same to the .SpeerS- Langford Military institute, made an arrangement with one R. B. Willis by which he was to continue to operate the same, that the said defendants agreed to act as trustees for said school until such board of directors

| "a w II MAN I.
The announcement that Henry C
Payne, of Wisconsin, is to succeed
Charles Emory Smith as Postmaster
| General in President Roosevelt'S
| cabinet will not be very interesting
news to the Afro-American of the
| United States, for it was this same
Mr.. Payne that unblushingly said ID

tee at the close of the 1900 campaign.
that white mans Republican party
would be organized in the South, and
that in future policy would be car
ried out by the President of the
United States looking forward to that
end" 1t is claimed by leading Afro
Americans that the late President Nc
Kfnley had begun just such a policy,
and it is claimed that President
Roosevelt is not wholly averse to ii.
but whether that be true or not, with
Mr.. Payne at the head of the Post
Office Department, he will /have am
pie opportunity to put into effect just
such a policy as he declared would
be put into effect under this admin
istratiOn. No man rules President
Roosevelt except it be Theodore
Roosevelt, but, as the head of one of
the government departments, one
man has plenty of chances to do MANY
things detrimental to certain elc-
ment of the voters of this country
If he so desires, and it is thought that
Mr.. Payne has the desire, and the
President be none the wiser of what
he has actually done.

more than the slim pickings for col
ored politicians. There might be some
obstacles in the way of a black maj
becoming a member of the New Yorl
Stock Exchange, but there is nothins
to hinder his speculating in stocks
and becoming Napoleon of finance il
he can. The wool of black lambs is
appreciated as highly as that of whita
in Wall Street.
The paths of literary fame are
open, as Mr.. Paul Lawrence Dunbar
has found. Negroes may start news
papers and magazines for people Of
their own race. They have a wider
field to cultivate than the founders
Of the London Times and the Edir-
burgh Review had. Negro capitalists
may accumulate wealth and invest It
in Great enterprises. They may build
railroads, hotels, restaurants nd
theatres of their own, in which peo-
pie of their race may be sure of the
best accommodations.
In short, the future of the Negro
is in his own hands. Whether the
white man treats him justly or not
he cannot be kept down unless he is
willing to stay down.

THE NEGRO'S OPPORTUNITIES
(From N. Y. Journal.)

(From N. Y. Journal.)
Of all the grievances that distress
ambitious Negroes the most CALLING
is the disadvantage of their race in
the matter of earning a living. None
but menial positions are open to black
men, they say. The Negro has no
chance to be anything but hewer
of wood and drawer of water.
There is something in that when
the Negro looks exclusively to fnG-
ing some white man for an employer.
But why should a people ten NIL
lion strong need to look for employ
ers outside of itself? There are as
many Negroes in the United States
now as there were people of all col
ors in 1920. The average American
in Monroe's time did not think it ne
cessary to hunt an Englishman TO
give him job.
The fundamental industry, espe-
cially for a race of primitive culture
such as the colored race is now. Is
agriculture. 1t contains the promise
of complete independence. The thrifty
colOred man who owns forty acres and
mule is nObOdy's servant He is
infinitely freer than the white factory
hand or clerk. He can bring up his
n in tIn III
conditions. The only limit to his ad-
vancement is himself.
On this solid agricultural founda-
ton can be built a substantial struc-
ture of dependent industries Tuske-
gee has shown how. The colore.l
farmers must have their mules shod.
| their plows sharpennd and their
wagons tired. If they do not employ
| cOlOred blacksmiths it will be either
because they do not take the griev-
ances of their race very seriously or
because there are no competent Negro
smiths to be found.
These farmers can furnish a market
for the services of colored carpenters
ministers, physicians and storekeep.
ers, and these people in turn can EN-
ploy still others. There is every op-
portunity for the erection of a great
self-supporting, self-respecting com
munity, without depending upon the
favor Of the whites
Of course, there will always be
cOlored cooks, walters, BARRIERS and
porters, but these employments may
not be in the principal fields of Negrt
activity unless the Negroes wish them
to be. There is no reason why the
highest ambition of a bright colored
youth should be to become Pullman
car porter. The road to independence
is open.
Some employments open to white
men are not very promising to blacl
ones. Owing to the fact that tht
courts are generally in white hands
there may be a handicap on coloret
lawyers, but that can hardly be con
sidered calamity to the race, an,

THIS PAPER VERIFIED.


The Republican criticized. a few
weeks ago, the participants in a dc
bate which took place in Seattle last
Thanksgiving Day, and for that criti-
cism some of the participants In turn
rather severely criticised The Repub-
lican. 1t was all done in a friendly
spirit, however, and done for motives
that it was hoped would prove bene-
ficial to both the paper and the race
The facts as stated by The Republican
were not denied by any of the partici-
pants, though they did claim that the
paper was premature in bringing them
out. Since that time, however, the
editor of The Republican has read
with much pleasure some comments
made by the New York Journal along
this line, which bear out the criti-
cisims made by it some weeks ago.
For the benefit of our readers the ar
ticle from the New York Journal is
