The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1902-03-28

Whether or not we like to recog-
nize the fact-and wilful blindness
is one of our national, failings-there
is no disputing the truththat indust-
ry backed by the whole strength of
the government and the nation
stands a better chance than an in
dust1y which government and
nation coldly declines to assist in
any way. No doubt to back an in
dustry. as Ger many and the United
States support their iron and steel
trades may involve a certa in
amount of temporary sacrifice on
the part of the community. But
that in the long run the community
suffers cannot be proved, whatever
the disciples of Golden say, and they
are very prone to substitute vague
assertions for arguments. Moreover,
in the words of Lamennais, Human
society is. based upon mutual giving
and upon the sacrifice of man for
man, or of each man for all other
men, and sacrifice is the very essence
of true socriety.'' For a generation
we have been limiting competition
within the State and restraining. it's
crude and cruel violence. By in
umerable laws and restrictions we
have raised the standard of comfort
of life. But we still refuse to re-
strain the competition which comes
from without, from countries where
man is regarded as a mere profit
making machine The cheap labor
of the southern American States, Of
Japan, of Geramny. of Belgium, is
freely to be allowed to lower our
STANDARD Of living. Well may an
American economic writer remark
that industrially England has enter
ed a cul de sac from which there
appears to be for her no retreat.
For we are on the horns of
dilemma either our high standard
of living or our Free.-Trade SYSTEM
must Extraordinarily Review.

Coiored iSsptists.

The negro Baptist state convention. which was held at Pine Bluff last week. was attended by ever 800 del egates. The feature of the session was the annual address delivered by President E. C. Morris, of Helena. who has served in that position for twen- ty-two years. He told the negroes not to get discouraged on account of race prejudice, as it would mold them into stronger men and women Tt is pref udice, he said. which gives employ ment to every negro preacher. teach CT, doctor and lawyer, and has built all the negro churches and schools. started every negro store, hotel res taurant, every bank and insurance company; in fact, every enterprise owned and operated by negroes is the result of the American color line. Stay in the race and build it up. is my advice to my people. The ne groes should give less attention to politics and more attention to busi- ness and getting homes." The fol- lowing officers were elected: Dr. E. c. Morris, president; j. P. Robinson, of Little Rock, recording secretary; J. w McCrary, of Fordyce, corresponding secretary; W. A. Holmes, of Helena statistician; j. NJ. Harris, of Texar- kama, treasurer.

A Plea For the Stste Guard.

Adjutant General Chas Jacobson has addressed a circular letter to members of the legislature urging the necessity of an appropriation for the state militia. In urging the apprOprl- ation General Jacobson says; The state guard cannot maintain it's standing without some financial as sisJance from the state, and to this end l enlist your sympathy and coop eration. The office of adjutant gen. eral as well as all other military po- 3itions connected with the guard. be- ing without pay or allowance, the period has now arrived, it is believed when the state should supplement the act of the federal government by making reasonable appropriation for it's military establishment The national government contributes one million dollars annually, apportioned according to representation in con gress, to the several states, this sum, however. being solely available Tn arms and equipments. No money allowance is granted, therefore the need of Arkansas lining up with her sister states by making a suitable ap- propriation for handling the supplies annually furnished by the government at Washington, also for the general conduct of concerns relating to the state guard"

Not Pr perly Supported.

In his concluding biennial report, Judge Frank Hill, late commissioner of agriculture, says: The bureau of agriculture of Arkansas has never ac- complished in this state what simi- lar bureaus have accomplished, and are accomplishing, in other states. The reason for this is plain Other states are investing s10,000 to $100,- 000 each year in pushing their agri- cultural interests. Arkansas invested during the last two years $375 per year. This $375, as well as the salary of the commissioner and his deputy IS paid from the general revenue in Arkansas. The natural resources of our state are superior to those of any of the states, and in my judgment our poor showing in this census is due largely to lack of systematic adver- Using and encouragement and educa- tion of our farmers. The advance in all lines of agriculture in the state of Louisiana in the last decade has been something phenomenal, and has fol lowed a careful adjustment of law and painstaking. studious effort to ed ucate the farmers and encourage them to adopt improved methods"

 Your attention is respectfully called to the fact that at it's last session the State Teachers Association, repre- senting every section of the state and all classes and grades of schools, by resolution pledged their united and en- thusiastic support to the following measures:
