APPOINTMENT or COMMISSION


We recommend the appointment OF
commission by the president Of the
United States TO Investigate and report
such further amendments or modiiica-
lions Of the land laws OF the United
States as may be desirable TO promote
the actual settlement and development
of a prosperous population on tho public
domain, the better utilization of the
grazing land aud the preservation OF the
forests by right use,
We urge appropriation for forest
preservation, the overshadowing i'm
portance of the preservation of our for
ests upon our senators and representa-
tlves In Congress- and upon the people
of the country, and recommend that
appropriations should be made to shls
end, which are fully commensurate with
the Vital Importance of forest reserya-
tion to the prosperity Of our people.
The fact must never be lost sight of
that the forests are to n large extent
the sources of the water supply
throughout the entire arid region and
their destruction VIII mean the destruc-
tion of agriculture In these regions.
ARID LAND RECLAMATION.
The great floods OF our western rivers
would, III the waters when now run 10
waste were saved and used, become a
great source Of national wealth and
strength, The national government
alone has the financial resources neces-
sary to harness these floods for the
beneficial use. The conditions upon
which II should be done are embodied
In the national irrigation act, and the
reclamation Of the arid lands must pro-
coed with firm adherence 10 the prln-
ciple that the lands reclaimed shall bear
the burden Of the cost of their reclaim
alton and that the investment of the
government In each irrigation system
shall be made absolutely secure, 80 that
every dollar OF 1t will be returned from
the lands reclaimed This being as
sured beyond question or doubt. funds
for construction should be provided by
Congress as rapidly as settlers will take
the reclaimed land and repay the in
vestment of the government.
Speculation and monopoly in these
lands or in the water must be rigid y
guarded against, and the irrigated
lands must be subdivided into small
farms.

THE NEGRO'S OPPORTUNITIES
They Are More Numerous in the
South. Saws Rev. J. S. Hill.

*'If the negro is to progress more rapid
ly, he must develop his moral nature
He must cultivate industry, thrift, per-
sonal pride and personal purity. It's
mistake to imagine that the negroes want
social equality with the white race. They
don't want it, they don't expect it. What
they do want is opportunity for making a
living and improving their material sur
roundings These opportunities they get
in the south. In the north they get
privileges which they don't need, in the
place Of opportunities that they do need"
These matter fact explanations were
made yesterday by Rev. J. S. Hill, presi-
dent Of the Morristown, Tenn, normal
and industrial college. And Mr.. Hill is
far from being a Southerner or a hostile
critic of the colored race. "A northerner
by birth, he was living. at st. Paul twen-
ty-four years ago, when he went south to
open his industrial school. That school
is for the education of negroes. He has
been aided by several prominent men in
Minneapolis, where he is now, visiting.
He has built up a prosperous institution
| at Morristown. The college makes use Of
eight large buildings in addition to ma
chine shops and foundry. The colored
| boys learn various trades. The colored
girls learn cooking and household work.
! The average attendance is 400 students.
OF the tWenty-six teachers composing the
| faculty, four are colored. One of the
! four was sold as slave IN the very house
! where was founded the college in which
| he is now a professor. .... r.. - ..
IF a. negro wants to prosper" added
! DR.. Hill, che should remain in the south.
| Here he can be a barber, a cook, porter
| a bootblack, a. street laborer. AS a
skilled mechanic he has no chance. In
| the south all trades are open to him
Even the southern practice of disfranchis
ing the negro by educational tests will
| eventla1lv benefit him. for it will brine

The Northwestern Bible and Mission
ary Training School, If a young institu-
ton, is certainly an aggressive one. It
was organized late last summer out pe-
gan it's sessions Oct. 1, with a 1acuity OF
sixteen teachers, and has accomplished
the unprecedented feat for schools Of this
sort of enrolling a hundred students the
first term. Dr. A. J. Frost, the dean OF
the school, has proved the wisdom OF tne
board when they called him from his work
in Los Angeles, Cal, to the headsh1p OF
this faculty. The last addition to the
working forces Of this institution is the
engagement of Miss Anna E. Smith and
Miss Josephine Millard, the young ladies
whose likenesses appear with this ar
ticle. They are to do evangelist1c work
in the northwest under the auspices OF
the Bible and Missionary Training School
and incidently, in its interest. They are
themselves training school girls Miss
Smith is the only girl who has ever gone
from the Moody institute as a full grad
uate; while Miss Millard has taken the
usual course, giving special attention to
music.
Miss Smith does the preaching in their
evangelistic work, while Miss Millard
leads the chorus and does the solo work.
For four months these young women have
been at work in northern Minnesota, such
places as Grand Rapids. Bemidji, Crooks
ton, Brainerd, etc. In each of these
places they nave created a prO1OunQ I'M
preston and many converts have re-
suited from their services to the churches
At present they are at work in Brain nerd,
Mimi, but will finish their meetings there

as possible to bring them to Minneapolis
for some special meetings in connec-
tion with the First Baptist church an6
its missions.

one of the strongest and most winnin!
features in the meetings these girls ar

ing School stands in addition to full
knowledge fthe Bible, it is for evangel-
ism. The institution is glad, therefore,
to send out such representa- tives as these
girl evangelists. In addition to the great
blessing which will come to the churches,
aided by scores of accessions to their
numbers, it is expected that these young
women will present the claims Of the
Bible school in every city, calling the at
tention Of the young people to the advan-
| tages it offers in equipping young men
and women for special Christian work.
The school pays their salaries and their

| Of the school. III" 70"

sent out under the same conditions and on

not less than 200 students for the second
year Of its existence. Minnesota, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, California
and Missouri have been represented by
students in the school this year. !,

Simple Table Decorations.

New York Press: The fashion Of table
decorations changes often, and at present
ed Is In the ascendant. Table decorations
are more simple these days than ever be-
ore. 1t Is not so many years ago hat the
center Of a table was a forest inhabited
~ souvenirs or a mill pond Of real wa
er. About five years ago it was fash
enable to have all these outlandish eff
'ects, and a hostess was perplexed sorely
o devise some novel scheme of decora-
ion. To Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs Is at
ributed credit for the first step toward
simplicity. When she gave an elaborate
oetrothal breakfast for her sister, now
Mrs. Willie *. Vanderbilt, ir., it was ex-
)ccted that the table would be q perfect
JINGLE. Instead there was an artistic
scattering of ferns on the cloth, and in the
middle there was a silver bowl of roses.
After that came the vogue of candles,
md hostesses We'd with one another in
displaying costly candelabra. The Astors
Ised candle-bearers OF gold. But now all
S changed, and the fewer of these gew-
yaws the better. A mere clump of stunted
palms with ~trellises of leaves or smilax
will suffice for the most p~retentious din
Ter. Tiny Japanese plants are in good
aste, and the scarlet poinsetta is in high
,avor. Red Is the approved color. At the
Jerry musicale tine lights in the conser-
yatory were shaded with red, and red
'oses were everywhere. At the Aston ball,
except for the ball room in lilies and
orchids, there were displays of American
Beauty and Meteor roses exclusively. In
Washington, Lady Herbert, wife of the
British ambassador, confines her decora-
ions 10 poinsettas, but Mrs. Roosevelt is
IN exception, and clings to pink roses and
carnations.
