The Model Young Man.

In order to popularize his sermons, a
preacher in Chester, Pa, has adopted
the expedient of requesting his congre-
CATION to furnish his ideas for him.
Recently he preached on "the model
young man." and the young women OF
the church furnished the points of the
discourse, each giving her idea OF
what a model young man should be.
The men of the congregation say that
the individual described by the preach
er will only be found on Avenue a OF
the New Jerusalem; that he is a
scintillatiOn of virtues and does every
thing about the house except carry out
the smoke and shovel the raindrops off
the sidewalk.

NEGROES APOSTLE sMoor's GUESTS.
Utah Republican SenatOr.Elect Entertains
Them with White Persons.

SALT LAKE, Feb. l4.-Considerable
comment aud criticism have been
aroused in Utah over the action of
Standardized Rec Smoot in seating six
negroes at a banquet with white per-
sons and having white girls serve them.
So1therners living in the state express
themselves on the subject with espe-
cial vigOr.
ITO think" said one of them today,
chat Shoots father was a Kentuck-
ian and a slave holder! 1t must have
made the old man turn oyer in his
grave"
WASHINGTON, February 14.-As if
the fact of his being an apostle of the
Mormon church did not in itself in
volve enough worry for his republican
associates who are just now, in connec-
tion with their anti-statehood fight,
hurting criticisms against that sect,
Hon. Reed Smoot, senator-clect from
Utah has added to the gayeEy OF cur
rent discussion by entertaining some
negroes at a banquet he gave to cele~
brate the contamination of the deal
between the republican leaders and
the Mormon church.
1t is not so much his entertaining
the negroes on plane OF social equal
ity that has exasperated certain gen
tlemen here in Washington as it is
that he gives his excuse for doing so
the action of President Roosevelt in
the famous Booker Washington lunch
con. If Mr. and Mrs. Smoot believe the
negroes in question are their equals
socially, their right to entertain them
is not disputed; but that the Mormon
high priest should just at this
time revive recollections of the Booker
Washington episode is not at all REL
ished ,by the administration leaders
who are endeavoring to make the
country think of something else than
the race issue.

1.-THE sOUTH's GRAIN STATISTICS

The Southern Farm Magazine has
compiled from official reports of the
government the statistics of the grain
crops of the south in 1902. The total
values are as follows: Corn 5O2, l.
500 bushels, valued at $276,555' 094;
wheat 4s,S72, l27 bushels, valued at
$50, O69, 6l9; rye l,352,892 bushels, val
ned at S975,5l4; oats 56,l76.sT2 hush
els, valued at S26, 252, 265.
These figures show that the grain
crop of the south-corn, wheat, oats
and rye-is about the same in value as
an average cotton crop, but the growth
of diversified farming in the south
promises within few years to make
the value of these crops much larger
than that of cotton.

an Industrious negro woman who farms

brought three mules to the city to DR..
Terrell, the well-known horse doctor,
for treatment The mules were troth-

their tongues badly swollen. Dr. Fer

given potash, and treated them accor-
dinghy. The mules we're finally re-
lieved and will be taken back home

Wilkins went home last night she
found that after she had left for the
city with her suffering mules her
horse was attacked in the same way
that the mules had been. The horse
died this morning. lis evident that
the potash was given to the mules and

mules were all right when turned into

horse was all right when Jane Wilkins

UP AGAINST TRUST FACTS.

The republicans have never ceased
to worry about the facts in regard tC
nrices. wages and cost of living under
Dinpley-bil trust rule as presented IN
the last democratic campaign book
Notwithstanding that with each at
tempt to get away from or disprove
these facts they work themselves
deeper into the trust mire, yet they
are foolish enough to continue their
spasmodic struggles.
The Washington correspondent OF
The News says Mr.. Hill of Connecti-
cut made a desperate effort a few
DAYS ago on the floor of congress
to prove by the table of prices IN
the democratic campaign book that
the prices of the article; on the free
list had advanced more from 1896 to
1902 than did the prices of the articles
on the dutiable list. He took all OF
the eleven articles on the free list
and showed that the prices OF these
advanced 26 per cent. Then he select
ed 81 articles from the ia on the dutia-
BILE list and, amid republican applause,
showed that the prices of these rose
only I54 per cent from 1896 to 1902.
Judge Griggs of Georgia, chairman
of the democratic congressional COM
mittee, got after Mr.. Hill and simply
pulverized him. Not only did he Sc
lect another list of 81 important arti-
Giles from the campaign book list, the
prices of each and all of which are
controlled by tarif-protected trusts
and which advanced an average OF II
per cent from 1896 To 1902, but he
showed that all but four of the 20 per
cent advance in price showed by the II
free list articles was due to the enor-
nous advance in prices of sisal and
binder Irvine, and That the very high
prices of these two articles was due to
the cruel war in the Philippines.
Again, in the list of ia articles on
the dutiable list Mr.. Hill found one
the price of which was higher at one
time in 1896 than it was in 1902. This
one was wire nails. Judge Griggs
showed that the high price of wire
nails Ia 1896 was due to temporary
pool of the wire makers, which col
lapsed before the end of the year, and
that the average price during the
four years of the Wilson bill law va,
only S1.70 per keg, while the average
price during the last four years OF
Dingley-bill, biIlion-dollar trust domi-
nation was So. SO per keg.
The republicans are more at home
IN supervising discussion of these
trust facts than when attempting to
disprove them by butting their heads
up against them. Addition, division
and silence" should be their motto, as
':let well enough alone is their slo-
gan,

The fussy DR.. Parkhurst OF New
York, still harping on the woes OF the
colored brother, asserts that "even ia
this country the roots of slavery still
exist, and it is for us to see that those
roots are not restored to life and
growth" Probably the nearest ap-
Droach TO slavery that there is in this
country it is to be found in Dr.. Park
bursts own section, in the sweat
shops and dives. In the east side of
New York city can be found ignorance,
depravity and immortality incompar-
ably wo rse than anything OF the sort
known in the south, even among the
negroes, and certain kinds of slavery
that would not be tolerated in south
ern community for a single day.
