AS TO RACE PILOT.

The erudite Indianapolis Freeman
calls for a race pilot, and thinks, all
things considered. that Geo. IL. w hite
is the man for the emergency-the
Parnell of the situation Mr. White
is indeed a most capable and courage
Gus man, and politically speaking is
the most available figure We have. 1t
is not likely that the Negro will come
to the wisdom of following a single
leader during this century. In the
meantime, it would be well to sand by
the several forces who lead in the va
rious departments of activity such as
Washington in education. Walters in
the church White in politics, the True
Reformers in business, Dunbar, Ches.
mutt and others in literature, Dubois
Miller and the like in sociological in

Hoosier ex President measured up to
every exactiOn as man of affairs, and
presented to the nation perhaps the
most symmetrical character that ever
sat 10 the White House. He was firm
and constant in his convictions, and
swerved not an inch from what be
deemed his PLAIN duty. He detested
hypocrisy, disdained the tricks of the
trimmer and timeserver. He never
sacrificed principle to gain the ap-
plause of the multitude, or to win ev
anesceut popularity. He was triepd
to the whole people, and refused TO
weigh the black man and the white
man by separate misunderstanding
at all times that every man should be
appraised at his true worth-no more,

4 WORD FOR 4 FRIEND

General Harries of the District Ma
tional Guard, has proven himself the
sincere friend of the Negro in this
community. The leasing of the Wash.
ington Light Intantry Armory for the
colored inaugural ball, over the pro.
tests OF the narrow minded contingent
OF the director5, was a splendid exam
pie OF his broad A mericanism. The
removal OF the encampment last year

vent Negro officers from being insulred
by the Jim crow" car laws of the Old
Dominion was another notable case in
