It now looks as if not a single Ne

missioned officer in one of the twelve

One reason for the great popularity
of President Rossevelt's message may
be found in the fact that he is Just be-
ginning his term.
The symposium on the Negro"
that has been running in the New
York Journal will surely do us good.
The concensus of opinion has been that
the eolored people must be educated.
The servant girls Of Chicago are or
gsnizing for better hours, better pay
and better condition generally 1t
would be good thing to have such an
organization in Washington
Let no part of our race become dis
couraged because of see = ing race hard
ships. Things have been much worse.
We are now passing through a social
storm. Every cloud has silver lining.
Let the enemies of the race do their
worst. They can no more keep US
down than they can keep back tee wat
ers of the Potomac. They can delay
and hinder, but they cannot prevent
the progress of the race.
If the youth of the colored race de =
velOp ability and character, get edu-
cation, make themselves useful in the
communities where they reside, get
property and homes, and help one
another in business there is no power
on earth that can keep them dswn.
1t is both our duty and our interest
to help one another in business and to
assist in making succe stul all lauda-
ble business enterprises conducted by
our people. 1t is only in this way that
we can gain our rightful place in the
business world.
The Negro business man must es-
chew sentiment. We are poor people
and the head of a family must buy
bread bacon, beef, shoes and clothing
where he can make his meager means

with small outfit but he must by reas-
on OF cheaper rent and cheaper fixtures
keep a notch below the urices offered
by his more pretentious rivals. Low
prices, fresh stock and strictly business
principles will aid materially in obIit-
Grating the color line.

Editor Tuttle Of Mandan pays his re-
spects thus to the newspapers of the
Twin cities, in their. criticisms of
North Dakotans: THE Twin city
newspapers have hired a lot of callow
young men, some just out of the high
SCHOOL, to teach North Dakota people
how they can save themselves from
the destruction that surely awaits
them. Because Governor White did
not go to Helena, we are being warned
of the wrath that is to come, and mas
much as the papers have a certain
number of columns to fill every day
with sensational matter, we may pre-
sumably, have b~roadsides of such bun
combe every few days. 1t is a decid-
eddy melancholy fact that the people
of North Dakota can rarely do things
to exactly suit the newspaper men of
the Twin cities. If we do one thing,
W don't please the Journal and the
Times; if something else, then the Pho
neer Press and the Tribune are not
happy over it. The newspapers of
the Twin cities have appointed them
selves the guardian angels and politi-
cal monitors of both the Dakotas, with
especial attention to the northern
state. 1t may be that the people of
North Dakota will be well able to take
care Of their interests from now on, if
even the newspapers do imagine that
we are children in the business OF pass
ing through this vale of tears" ~.

A PACIFIC COAST VIEW

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the
leading paper of the Pacific coast, says:
"The demagogue and the man hun
gering to be in another's pay have al
ways one answer ready for arguments
that they cannot meet and demands for
facts that they cannot supply: This
is to allege that everybody who exam
ines a subject dispassionately is
bought" or "owned" by somebody
else. But the device has become
rather shady, and involves nowadays
a distinct odor of disrepute in those
who use it unless they have some facts
wherewith to support it. Undoubtedly
there will be one chorus from the trust
busters that Governor White of North
Dakota is somebody's hireling. But
leaving that aside, it would be interest
ing to know what is the error, in logic
or fact or devotion to the peoples in
terests, in his answer to an invitation
to attend the Montana conference:
ESQ far as the people of North Da-
kota are concerned, there has been no
demand on the governor from any
source to mix in the matter. The peo-
pie of North Dakota are not so much
alarmed over the proposition as to be
blinded to the fact that, regardless of
ownership, so far as rates and regula-
tons of railroads are concerned, they
will not surrender any power at pres
emit possessed. Whenever the rail-
roads Cypress our people we will find
a remedy. Thus far we have not been
injured by the so-called merger, and
it is best to await Developments
1T is possible that there may be
some flaw in the common sense of this
position, Or in it's assumption that
nothing can deprive the people of those
rights Of self-protection that they pos
sess and will exercise whenever need
arises, but if SO no one has pointed it
out"

Ihe past year has been remarkable
for the almost entire cessation of rail-
way bankruptcies, says the Railway
Age. In no year since the courts be-
gan to take possession of insolyent
roads for the benefit of their creditors
has the number of r~eceiverships been
so insignificant. In fact it may be
said that no railway of any importance
IN the United States became insolvent
during 1901. Only four small roads
of from 10 to 80 miles, were placed I'M
der receivers, their length amounting
to I3 miles, and the amount Of stocks
and bonds only 81, 1921, 900. The won
derful absence of failures in 1901 is
made the more apparent by comparison
with the figures of the twenty-five pre-
ceding years. TIL total for tn TWEEN
ty-six years including 1891, included
63S roads, 114,34S miles and amount
OF stocks and bonds $6,29O,397 900.
This represents far more than one-half
OF the entire present mileage and can
l~talization of railways in the United
States; although it is to be remembered
also that in a good many cases the
same road has been placed in receivers
hands two or more times. In n aw-
full year, 1893, "A companies, with over
29,NO miles of road and over one and
three-quarters billion of capital be-
came bankrupt. In eight years the
failures have become practically none.
Although foreclosure sales are com
monty the result of difficulties of long
standing and may be. numerous in pros
porous years, yet the record of fore
losures also for 1901 is notably small.
being less than for any year since 1884
and less than for any other OF the

Colored envelopes used by some Of
the business houses here and elsewhere
in the dispatch of mail are causing the
p%ostoffce and the railway mail clerks
considerable annoyance and trouble.
Addresses on them, unless written with
a typewriter, are almost undecipher-
able. When the fact that most of the
work in handling letters is done under
gaslight and on swaying mail cars is
considered, it will not seem strange
that clerks regard colored envelopes as
a device designed for their particular
discomfort. Red is the worst color in
the spectrum for envelope use. Blue
is next. Unless the address is written
in the blacklist of ink it appears as
nothing under artificial light. Colors
are more endurable as they approach
white, which is the only kind of letter
cover approved by the scores of men
through whose hands mail passes. The
postmaster has had occasion to make
special suggestions to firms that they
print their envelopes and wrappers on
white paper. Business houses which
have adopted one color and used it so
long that it is a familiar trade mark.
dislike to make any change but it is
probable that they will recognize the
justice of the request in view of the
fact that it will tighten the burden OF
the clerks and assist in the rapid and
correct delivery of mail.
