TROUBLE WITH THE NEGRO.

Rev. W. W. Lucas, a negro
preacher who is field agent of the
Young Peoples Christian Educa-
tional Congress, has been preach
ing to large congregations of ne
groes in Mobile. Here are some
things he said to his colored breth-
rem
1 have decided that the only way
to get rid of the "jim crow" car is
to get rid of the "jim crow" negro.
If 1 could use 100000 bars of
soap the unwashed negroes that
travel ~on,,trains and hang around
depots, l would solve the negro
problem about 20 per cent.
Lazy, ragged, barefoot fellows
longing for silver slippers and
long white robes and counting
themselves worthy neglecting to
provide for their families on earth,
and yet claiming a house not made
with their hands in Gods heaven.
The white man is trying to
make this earth blossom as a rose,
and the negro is getting ready to
die.
The white man is organizing
business enterprises and the negro
organizing societies to turn out to
their funerals! Now l object to a
hundred dollar funeral to a So
cent negro.
The negro eats up and dresses
away all he makes One square
meal on Sunday sweeps away all
the wages of the week. He re-
minds me of the mule which ate the
shipping tag from his leg: An
old negro exclaimed: "Gee, dat
mule done ct up whar's he gwine."
That's what the negro does. He
eats up his living.

No More Hair Straighteners.

The management of this paper
has decided to carry no more
advertisements in these columns
that are usually brands for negro
Journals, such as "Great hair
straighteners" and Wonderful
face bleaches" etc. All such ads
are misleading fakes. None of
the remedies do what they are
represented to do, besides no in

TO LIVE LONG.

Most people are eager to have a
good, tried recipe for longevity.
There are many such about, few
are really practicable or really re-
liable, as what has proved good in
one case has not done so in anoth-
or, but the advice offered by Sir
Henry Thompson to those who
would like to reach old age, as he
has done, and remain vigorous and
hardworking as we'll, is really pos
sible for all to follow. He does
not pretend that longevity can be
attained quite easily. On the con-
trary, his: system involves much
self denial but, at least, it is not
an eccentric one. His theory,
based on practical and personal ex-
perience, is that strict temperance

MOST all schools and colleges
have opened and the attendance at
them all seems to be good, but it
could be much better. Many
young men and young women who
should be in some good college,
can be found parading the streets
of our cities only waiting for time
to land them in some gambling
den or house of ill-fame. Fathers
and mothers are too careless about
their children's welfare and are to
willing to let their children work

Webster's Last Words,

Concerning "last words" my old
friend A. H. McRac has this to say
of Webster: II knew an old lady
who was neighbor and intimate
friend of the Websters in Washing
ton. She explained to me the mean
ing of his last words-'I still live.
Webster, as all the world knows, was
a hard drinker. Liquor caused his
death. In his last days he was kept
alive by brandy, which he constantly
craved. The day he died his physi-
clan called on him early in the
morning and found him very low,
and, as he thought, unconscious.
Turning to the nurse, he said: If he
is alive at O'Clock give him another
drink of brandy The family gath
cred at the bedside to see him
breathe his last. A clock in the room
struck s. For a moment he remain
ed silent; then, as no one offered to
help him, he said, rOusing up and
opening his eyes, i still live The
nurse, recollecting the doctors in
structions, FASTENED to give him
another drink, which proved to be
his last, as he relapsed into quiet
stupor and died within an hour. The
old lady did not have high opinion
OF Webster from a moral standpoint,
knowing that the immortal words,
Il still live were uttered for the
purpose of getting final drink

THE FREE PASS EVIL.

Inquiries recently made respecting the observance
of the ant-pass law Wisconsin have developed the
information that the law is being faithfully adhered
to.
The anti-pass law of that state enacted two or
three years ago 1t had for its purpose the cutting
off of the practice by the railways of issuing passes
to legislators judges and other public officials.
1t is said the railways of Wisconsin pleased
at the passage of the law. 1t stopped drain on
the earnings of the passenger departments.
The fact is the pass system is practical hold-up
of the railroad companies. So long as no law is
imposed preventing free transportation to- public
officers the railroads dare not refuse the request
tact demand, for passes. Their property is exposed
to adverse legislation is imperled in the courts,
and the cheapest way out is to submit to the exac-
ton.
1t may be stated as general principle that the
average railroad company wants nothing better than
to be let alone Of course there exceptions to
the rule. Some railroad companies are cormorants.
They organize politically to special favors
to get more than their legitimate share of just treat
ment. The rule hold good, however, that the aver
age railway management simply asks free field
and fair chance.
In order to secure just treatment at the hands of
the representatives of the people they must do as
their competitors do-cast anchor to windward
by securing the good will of the public officials.
The railroads should not bear the blame for the
pass evil Legislators who defeat anti-pass legisla-
ton are the guilty ones.

THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN.

remarkable story of the brotherhood of man
comes from Pittsburg.
The American Tin Plate company made propo-
siton to its employees calling for reduction of the
general wages of 81 per cent, by which production
would be increased fully 16t per cent which would
incFese the earnings of the workers about 124 per
cent. 1t explained that if the proposition
accepted the tin plate workers in Wales would be
deprived of employment. Instead of promoting
the proposition the argument influenced the em-
ployes to vote against it,
The American Tin Plate company is, therefore,
unable to the increased business, and it's
stocks are large it will close number of its plants
But the American Tin Plate company cares moth
ing for the Welsh. Corporations have souls.
Capital does not concern itself about the brother
hood Of man.
In our day the instints of humanity, the regard
for the Chrlstly law of brotherhood, the spirit Of
sefsacrifce, to be found in the ranks of labor
Labor is stinting Itself that it may pay the strk-
ing miners u half-milion dollars week. Labor
deliberately votes bread and butter out of it's mouth
for the sake of the laborer across the sea.
Capital says let the fttest survive. Labor says
all men are brothers. the sons of common Faith
er. There is world of significance in the respec-
tive attitudes of these two elements of our modern

ONE PREACHERS VACATION.

The Rev j. B. Toomay, pastor of the Congrega.
tional church at Carthage, Mo-, is taking vaca.
ton. He had six weeks rest granted him, but
instead of going to the mountains or the seashore
he has Joined gang of laborers who are construct.
ting the Carthage & Western Railroad
The account says he was first put to moving
weeds along the right of way. Having been a farm
er's boy, that was comparatively easy. Then he
was given mule team to drive. Everybody knows
that is not easy, owing to the irrelgous nature
of the mule. But the local paper says he "kept his
temper"
Although in sight of his parsonage the preacher
eats with his fellow laborers and sleeps with them
in tent.
The reverend gentleman says he has two objects
in view. He wants to get his muscles hardened and
put an edge on his appetite. Mainly, however, he
wants to get into closer touch with wage earners
and thinks he can learn in six weeks by this
procedure than by years hard study. The
preacher is wise.
1t is a common remark that the modern church is
losing its hold on the laboring people. They do not
go to church. The religion that especially
made for the masses no longer allures them as it
once did Is the fault in the religion in its min
listers?
Mr.. Toomay evidently believes the fault is in the
ministry. The preacher somehow has lost the vital
touch Either he is over-educated educated away
from the people, he does not know how to use his
education in order to reach the people.
Not every preacher would 'condescend to per-
of low estate as does this one Mr.. Toomay

A FRANK POLITICIAN.

81 don't give a DIN for the church people, -
said the mayor of a western city during his last
campaign. ''They are of no use in an election. l
would rather have one tough saloon-keeper gam
bier on my side on election day than dozen of the
people who do lot of hollering but don't get out
and vote"
Either one of two conclusions is forced: That
city is tough, there is large measure of politi-
cal wisdom in what this mayor says.
Our knowledge of this particular city is sufficient
to convince that it is not typical church COM
munty. But it is not the chief of political sinners
either.
1t must therefore be considered that the political
utterance of its mayor quoted above, is susceptible
of more than local application and embodies the
shrewd observations of practical politician. And
the proof is afforded in the statement that this
mayor has been elected six consecutive times evil
dence that he has gwen his city excellent admin
istratlon and to the tax payers that multi
tude of sins.
Nevertheless the truth remains that one saloon
keeper or gambler exercises more influence in mu-
ncipal politics than q dozen good church people.
Why?
The answer is to be found in what this western
mayor says The church people do a lot of holer-
ing and don't get out and vote" More than that.
They do not go to the primaries where candidates
are selected. They neglect the initiative impulse of
political action They are ''too busy"
They also do lot of "hollering'' when matters
municipal go wrong. They deplore corruption and
quote Tocqevile's prophecy and the pessimistc ut
terances of James Bryce respecting the government
of American cities. But Sancho Panza told us long
since that "fne words butter parsnIps." Every
often the press talks about the uprising of the
people," Since revolutions have gone out of fash
ion there only way for the people to rise up
Let them rise to their prerogatives at the prima-
ries and at the ballot box.

Obituary

Miss Nellie f. Germond, daughter
of Peter and Caroline P. GerrnonC
was born in Utica, N. Y, March 20,
1868, and departed this life at her
home in Keuka, Fla, July %, 1902.
Typhoid fever was the immediate
cause of Sister Nellie's death. She
had been unwell for about three
weeks, but thought her illness was
nothing more than need of rest
from a long seige of nursing. The
day she died, symptoms of typhoid
fever developed. To this disease her
much run down system soon gave
way.
Her last illness proves how hard it
was for her to give up to her feelings.
and she undoubtedly suffered more
than anyone was aware. After
faithfully nursing others through
their severe sickness, she then pre-
ceeded them to her reward. This
makes her departure seem all the
more sad.
Sister Nellie came with her par
ents and other members of the fami-
ly, from their New York home TO
Florida about ten years ago, making
Keuka, Fla, her home to the time Of
her death.
Her life was an uneventful one to
herself; but she was considerate of
the happiness and welfare of others,
and made friendship wherever she
went. She possessed a cheerful and
lively disposition, which made her
company very agreeable and influ-
entail for good. Though she is so
much missed by relatives and
friends, yet all bow in humble sub.
mission to the will of Him who
doeth all things we'll.
She united with the Methodist
branch of the Christian church i'm
1891, and at her death held her mem
bership at Interlachen, Fla. She en-
joyed the services of the sanctuary
and would attend whenever she
could. The Christian EndeavorS So
ciety also found IN her an active
member.
Sister Nellie leaves an aged moth
er, two brothers and three sisters.
together with other relatives and
friends, to mourn her loss. Nav
the grace of God sustain all of these
in their sorrow, and may all be re-
united in His eternal kingdom.
