society apd schools for the year
amounted to nearly 100000.
Short addresses by a number of the
bishops following the reports were
marked by the freedom with which
they discussed the attitude of the two
leading political parties toward the
negro race. Bishop Cranston criticised
the national party in power for its a.
legged remissness and declared his be.
lief that 1t was time for the Christian
people to desert any organization that
thought more about itself and its poll
tics than about the welfare of a peo-
pie down trodden and in need of as
sistance.
Bishop Hamilton evoked applause
by an eulogy on President Roosevelt,
saying in conclusion:
81 thank God that we have a presi-
dent who is not afraid to sit down with
a negro and to show him the respect
that is due"
Bishop Walden said he was glad
they had a Senator Tillman in the
south, because he was needed to stir
up things.
Bishop Hamilton made the prlncl-
pal address Of the day. He said that
the Leland Stanford Junior university
cost $30,OOO,0OO, and that notwith-
standing that great outlay of money
its instruction was confined to about
1900 or 1900 students a year The
Methodist schools in all the south cost
about the same amount Of money and
they were called on to educate $4,000
/ persons a year.
Bishop Hamilton said that Booker
T. Washington was not the first per-
son to introduce Industrial training
among the negroes.
The Methodist schools did that long
before Washington began his work.
More than 10000 capable school teach
ers were the result of the Methodist
education in the south. Bishop Ham.
ilton said that a race could not be ele-
waited by Industrial education alone.
The head and heart must be taken
care of as we'll as the hands and other
parts of the body.
THE north must solve the negro
problem" the speaker declared. "The
north signed no protocol that would
allow southern sentiment to prevail in
the settlement of the negro problem"

of the state department stated
that so far as the present outlook
goes, the only possible solution In
sight are these:
THE Colombian government may
make terms with the revolutionary
party, which could only mean that the
independence of the provinces Of
Panama and Cauca would be recog-
nized by Colombia
2-The United States may recog-
nize the independence of the isthmus
3-The United States may deter.

it establish sovereignty over the entire

establishment of an independent gov

the United States can deal in It's canal

state that this government will con.
