sTHE MANS THE GowD."

rF-rom the Chicago Chronicle, (Dem-)]
why do not those critics who are
railing or sneering at President Roose-
velt for entertaining Booker Washing
ton at dinner in the White House un-
dertake to show in what respect Mr.
Washington as man is unfit to sit at
table with the president of the United
States? Because they choose to evade
that issue.
There is no man in America who. as
black. yellow, red or brown. who has
ACCOMPLISHED more by his own efforts
against the most overwhelming Odds
Their is no man in America who, as
gentleman, scholar, philanthropist or
man of great and successful achieve
ment, is more worthy than he to sit at
meat with those who are personally or
officially great.
There is no man in America of any
race or pigment of cutic1e who has dis
cussed the various sides of the negro
question more sensibly, more dispas-
sionately or with less race prejudice ur
feeling He has never demanded for
men of his race anything more than
they honestly earn by meritorious eff
fort He has always maintained with
out any reservation or qualification
that the negro must win success for
himself by making himself a good and
useful citizen. if he succeeds at all.
He has never asked for any position.
political or social. for himself or for
anyone of his race beyond what might
be freely accorded as just recognition
of merit.
In ali his discussion of matters per-
tanning to his race he has been dispas-
sionate, calm, clear-headed, far-seeing,
modest, wise, in degree not surpassed
by any in this broad land nor eQualed
by any of those who are moved to
wrath by the fact of his social recog-
milton
intellectually and morally, in gentle
manly instincts and manners, in nobil-
fty and persistence of purpose. in devo-
+ion TO an excellent mission and in sue
cess of achievement he is the peer OF
the worlds best and fit to dine with the
noblest of natures noblemen.
If such a man is not fit for social
recognition no man can be. Those who
would deny him recognition are slaves
of an irrational race antipathy or
rather, of an afrectation of antipathy
which is the fashion in certain quar-
tiers.
The fashion is a bad one and fraugh'
with disastrous consequences Ameri-
cans must learn to treat men as they
individually deserve. and not put bar
on the highest merit when it appears
in an individual of a particular race.
They must learn this or they will TAI
lamentably in their new and world
wide ambitions

a Seal In The Delaware

William Hill and Joseph ~springard,
two young men Of Trenton, while out
cunning in the Delaware, near Cochran's
Island last Saturday, were drifting slowly
with the current, when their attention
was attracted by a dark object that sud
denly rose in the water near the boat,
nearly upsetting it. Springard took a
hasty shot at it, and the object sank, only
to rise again in a few seconds, threshing
the water violently and making the boat
rock like a cork.
Ii finally started in the direction of the
shore, and the men in the boat followed.
When the creature came to view again in
shallow water Springard gave it another
shot, and it leaped high and dry on the
beach. 1t proved to be a seal seven feet
in length, This is the first time within
the memory OF the rivermen that a seal
has been found in the river in this local
ity. and where it came from is amystery.

\ NEW METER RATE Big Reductions to Users of Electric Lights by Light
 and Water Go.
 - .,~, at*h ,OLD FLAT RATE OF 25 CENTS ABANDONED AND GRACUAT-
 ED SCALE ADOPTED.
Reelection of 40 Per Cent. to Cen. suners of Over 5o.ooo Watss
 Month.


The Pine Bluff Light and Water company has issued a new electric light meter rate card, and big rcduc. tions are made to consumers of eles,. tric lights. The new rate became cf- fective December 1.
 Prior to the adoption of the new rate. a fiat rate of 25 cents per f,G00 prevailed. The new rate is a grad- uated one. and the reduction is 20 per cent to consumers of less than 50,000 watts per month and 40 per cent to consumers of 90 GOO and less high as any consumer is likely to go The rates given by the new schedule are as follows:
 Under 90 900 watts per month, 2e cents per LOGO; 5O.000 to 350 900 pe1 month, 15 cents per 1 ,000; more than l 350,000 per month, 121a cents pc. ,000: under 1000 ampere an hou, l per month, l cent per hour; 1000 te l 1000 ampere per hour Der month. 34 | cent an hour: over 7,0a0 ampere per | hour, .625 per hour: minimum bill
 per month, 50 cents.
 The new rate will prove grea
 saving to the users of electric lights
 and will no doubt result in consid l 1 users of electric lights.
