around the engine by the belt and every
stitch of clothing on him was torn

The QUALITY OF SUCCESS.

Booker L. Washington's autobio-
graphy, "Up from Slavery" has be-
come book of worldwide renown
Arrangements have recently been made
through the publishers, Doubleday,
Page & Co. for its publication 10 Swift
zerland in German, and in Finland in
Finnish and special Spanish edition
is soon to be published for Cuba. It
has already appeared in Hindoostanee,
and the translations into the French
and German were among the first to be
undertaken. A leading article by Tn.
Benton IN the Revue des deux Mondes,
names it as book of that quality of
human interest which will bring it to
the front wherever men aspire to know
the greatest achievements OF their fel-
lows. and this is fair example of the
fame this most notable piece of Ameri.
can autobiography has attained in
many foreign LANDS.

MRS, FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

We think Negro journal goes far
out of its way and the way of right and
justice when it charges Mrs. Frederick
Douglass with lack of appreciation of
her revered husband If any woman
ever impressed us as fully imbibing the
spirit of a companion, Mrs. Douglass
assuredly does. Her letter to the Doug
lass school authorities at Indianapolis
was an ideal expression, full of earnest
love and intellectual dignity, showing
not trace of racial differences or the
patronizing atmosphere too often in
duIged in by well-meaning whites
Mrs. Douglass writings, speeches and
failing eordiallty are Of piece
with the majestic personality of the
Sage of Anacostia. Those who know
her understand her, and should de-
fend her from unreliable hearsay or
intentional mIsconstruction.

Mr.. Taylor is said to be meditating
a trip to this country in the near future.
The choral society which is nsmed for
him owes it to iself to see that he is
given fitting reception while in Wash
ington. In order to produce the best
results OF which the national capital is
capable, there is need for the united
efforts of all our people Two hundred
of the best coiored singers in Washing
ton. well trained, would sing Mr.. Tay'
lor's "Hiawatha,' in a manner which
we believe would be surprise even to
him, although of course not equal to
what he is used to in England. at any
rate, we should show him our best per-
formance.
The existence here of a permanent
chorus, performing once or twice year
the great masterpieces in music would
be great uplifting force in diffusing
among the masses an appreciation Of
the best in music.

3 clean, honest and capable man, one
that reflects credit upon the whole race
By lifting up the standard of public
service in this way, the President is
helping the whole race and giving US
standard of greater respectability.
One thing seems to be sure, and that
is, that those of the race who expect
favors at the hands of the President
must bs good, strong, clean men who
have the confidence of the ueopie where
they live. In our opinion no shady or
unclean character need expect recogni.
ton at the hands of Mr.: Roosevelt.

MR.. S. coLERIDGE-TArLoR'S TRIUMPH

1t is a most gratifying evidence of
race progress here in the National
Capital, not only that there is sufficient
musical talent and ability here but,
Indeed, that there is sufficient unity Of
purpose among so many persons OF tai
ent to draw them together into one Or
ganization to undertake so large a work
as the organizing of a chorus of 200
voices to render a magnificent musical
composition of one of our race.
MIR. S. Coleridge- Taylor is, undoubt.
edly, Judging from the many hattering
newspaper notices that have reached
us, the leading musical composer and
conductor IN England. So great is his
fame that he was recently epgag ed by
the management of the great Leeds
Triennial Musical Festival to write
for that occasion special choral with
orchestral accompaniment. His COM
position was not to be in competition
with others. They were willing to trust
to his genius to produce something
grand. Mr.. Taylor chose for his latest
great triumph another subject from
our own Longfellow, "The Blind GirP'
a poem which affords wide range of
passion and emotion. Mr.. Loudin, who
was in Edinburg at the the time of the
Leeds Festival travelled $40 miles to
be present. He writes:

A model farm, to be conducted in
Alabama as an Investment, is being
projected by Philadelphia capitalists.
With cheaper labor and low-priced
land, producing as much per acre as can
be raised in the more expensive North,
it would seem that the plan ought to
yield excellent returns.

Colored men who have heavy in
vestments in sugar in Louisiana are
greatly alarmed over the possible re-
duction of the tariff on Cuban sugar.
They state that the race will suffer ma
terial loss if such legislation is not pre-
vented. The question is large one,
and we are sure Congress will go slow
before enacting a law that will work
hardship to thousands of investors,
white and black, in Louisiana and the
South.
