A Poet Win yiaor.

The McMluans of London published a book of poems by T. E. Brown. which the English critics lauded because of the "vigor of the poets descriptive style" Here Is a little sample of lt re- ferrlng to the sailing of fishing smack:
 So to the ist,y grAdual she was hauled;
 Then enc the tiller took And cheved and spat upon his hand and bawled.
 And one the canvas shook Forth like . moldy bat. and one, with mods And smiles. lay on the bowsprit end and called And cured tbe hsrbor master by his gods And. rotten from the gunwals to the keel.
 Ra, hddled. bllge bestank, Slime s'obbered. horrible. saw her reel
 And drag her ooEy nank
 And sprawl among the dsft young waves that
 laughed
 And lespt snc turned In many Q sporiive wheel AS she thrmped onward with her numbering
 draft.
 We believe this Is a poet who could almost do justice to the Chicago stock yards. The rhythmic swish of the pig sticker's knife and the thrilling splash of the hog In the scaldlng vat ought to thrill such a bard to the very core of hls immortal soul. Give us call. Brown.-Chlcago Times-Herald.

Ole Gersledt came here last week to

(Dem.) says: This country is not go
ing into either despotism on the one
hand or socialism and communism on

mo matter where the blame lies, the
long suspension of production of an

period of prosperity which began some
six years ago. True, hard coal is not
indispensable by any means, but it
takes time for industries to adjust
themselves to new conditions. Mean
while soft coal will cost more. and
thus production on the one side and

NOT WANTED AT WELLESLEY.

We have always contended that
there was as much prejudice at the
North against the negro as there is at
the South. and the facts bear out our
contention. We have on a number of
occasions pointed out that most of the
occupations are closed to the negro in
the North, and 1t is fact that there
is no great movement of negroes from
the South to the North. If there were
little or no prejudice against the negro
in that section, and the opportunities
for earning a livelihood were as good
there as they are in the South. there
would be big emigration of negroes
from the South to the North.
OF course there are white people at
the North who seize every opportunity
to condemn the Southern people for
not giving the negro more privileges
for not, in fact, putting the negro on "a
footing with the white people in every
respect-and they seem to think that
if they were placed in the position the
Southern people occupy in respect to
the negro they would give the negro
every right and privilege which they
claimed for themselves.
A case to which we want to call par
ticular attention. however. is that of
the daughter of Booker Washington.
the head of the Tuskegee, Ala. school
for negroes. Last year this girl was
student at Wellesley College. This col
lege is in Massachusetts. and about
400 of New England's daughters attend
it. 1t is school for the daughters of
wealthy families. 1t is the understand
ing that it was the intention of Booker
Washington's daughter to take the
whole course of four years, but it is
announced that she is not a student
there this year. It seems that the facul-
ty dropped her name from the list of
students for the reason that she did
not pass her musical examination. 1t
is alleged that she was not wanted
there.
There is no doubt that she conducted
herself properly in every respect, but
| she was the occasion of a vast deal of
trouble of one kind and another in the
school. Asa matter of fact she was os-
! tracised by a big percentage of the
white girls. if the published statements
| about the matter are to be credited.
Those who stood by her when she first
entered the institution from a sort of
sentiment that no such a thing as race
prejudice should be tolerated. finally
dropped her, and her position became
uncomfortable. The inference is that
the faculty were glad of an excuse to
get rid of her. simply on account of
the fact that she was a negro.
We mention this case for one pur-
pose only, and that IS that even in
Massachusetts,, from which state so
much of the criticism of the Southern
people for their prejudice against the
negro emanates. there is a stronger
feeling of hostility to the negro, based
upon race prejudice, than there is in
the South. Why then should these
criticisms Of inconsistent New England
people have any effect on the Southern
people?
