Horace Greeley:s Life a Failure
Senator Depew Says the Great Editor So Regarded hPa|
thetc Scene at the Close of a Most Brilliant Career
When His Great Heart Broke

The character and career of Amos J.
Cummings were not formed in the par
sonage, nor in the counting room, nor
in the association with his friends, the
cOmpositors, nor with the adventurers
in Nicaragua, nor with his comrades
in the army. They were built by the
overinastering influence Of two men
of extraordinary genius, whom he
wOrshiped-One Horace Greeley, the
other Charles A. Dana.
No proper appreciation of the life
and services, Of the ability and char
acter, of Horace Greeley has ever been
written. There was time-and at
that time Cummings was with him
when there came every day from the
Tribune office a paper with those edi-
torials written by that pen which in
tluenced the Judgment of millions,
which controlled the action of parties
and dominated the legislation of the
country.
l have seen many deathbed in my
life; I have seen life go out under con-
ditions that were sad or sweet, hope
full or despairing. l never but once
saw a man die of broken heart, and
never do l wish to see such a tragedy
again.

caricatures of Mast, representing him
as the embodiment of all that was

over for moment, and then said:
"My. life is a failure. 1 never have
sought to accumulate fortune. I
never have cared for fame, but I did
want to leave a monument of what
I had done for my fellow-men, in
lifting them up and in doing away

curse of rum, but here l am. at the

New Light on Race Problem
Writer ia the Worlds Work Claims the Outlook For the
Negro Is by No Means Dsheartenine- Good Work
Done by Real Leaders of the Negro

In most of the discussion of the
race problem little is said of the
negro's own point of view. He is the
chief figure of it all. He is at once
the innocent cause of it and the chief
factor in it's solution.
There has not been time enough
nor work enough nor money
enough nor opportunity for the
great masses of them to be built
up to responsible citizenship, but the
leaders of the race-the real leaders
show steady growth in thrift, in
responsibility and good citizenship. A
study of the result of the work done
at any of the great schools where
they are properly trained will give
the most respondent man high hope.
In fact, the record of the best men
and women who have gone out from
Hampton and Tuskegee and other
such training places make one of the
most remarkable chapters in human
