THE CIVILIZED MAN.

In another column will be found
the titles of some very useful and
encouraging books, however one
may regard the statement defining
the distinction between the civil
lied man and the savage"
There is one book to which es-
pecial attention is called, Shadow
and Light by the Hon. Mifflin
Wistar Gibbs. No one could read
a chapter in that most interesting
narrative and fail to be deeply i'm
pressed by the simple and charm
ing style of the author, the diver
sity of experience and incident, the
courage, perseverance and intel1i-
gent mastery of conditions and
circumstances. A devotion to the
nobler ideals of life, a determina-
ton to overcome barriers and OBJ
stacles is pictured here with a
straightforward modesty, which
captivates the reader encour-
ages the struggling wa rer, who
may be himself dow st from
looking on his own : re tasks
and hindrances.
This book shows M. [ plainly
and clearly the necessity of read
ing and study as elements of sue
cess and is indeed a most inspir-
ing literary production. 1t ap-
pears at time when inspiration,
encouragement and good example
are most decidedly needed. We
are very pleased to commend it to
Our friends and readers.

THE WIZARDS POPULAR
ITY.
Judge Terrell's Estimate of DIR.
Observation-Disclosures.

Four men out of every five who
have arrayed themselves in oppo-
sition to the head of Tuskegee are
influenced by jealousy. I am sor-
" to say it, but it is true. There
is absolutely no reason why col
ored men should oppose him. He
is in a position to be more help
full to the race than any living
man, and [ believe that his gospel
Of work, and his idea of prepara-
ton for the occupations that the
Negro masses must engage IN will
be the salvation of the race. The
few men who have started a cru
SADIE against Booker Washington
have not affected his influence in
the slightest way either at home
or abroad. More than that, one
thOusnd students were refused at
Tuskegee Institute this fall be-
cause there was no room for them.
The unseenly and wicked demon
stratiOn against Booker Washing
ton in Boston last summer has
only served to help the man among
all people, white and black. There
is said to be some opposition
among colored men to what is
called the political leadership Of
Booker T. Washington. [ don't
believe that he occupies the posi-
tiOn of a political leader in any
particular. He may be called by
the authorities from time to time
to give evidence as to mans
character or fitness for place when
that man has been recommended
and indorsed by other people.
This is his right as an American
citizen. Those who are fighting
him along this line are simply dis
gruntled and disappointed office
holders.-Interview with Judge
Robert H. Berrell, in Memphis
Commercial Appeal.

They planned that Mcdonald should be
the first to go to trial and that he
should enter a plea Of not guilty. Then
Darling the loser in the toss of the coin,
should voluntarily 60 on the witness
stand and swear that he alone was the
offender and that the other had had
nothing to do with the thefts with
which they were jointly charged.
This agreement was carried out to the
letter. When Mcdonald was arraigned
he pleaded not guilty and Darling swore
that the prisoner at the bar had had
nothing whatever to do with the thefts-
That left nothing for the court to do
but acquit him of the charge. Darling
was arraigned Immediately afterward
and he entered a plea of guilty without
