Teach Early.


That Minnesota teachers begin their
labors at an carly age is shown in q
statement issued by J. w. Olsen, state
superintendent of public instruction.
At the Moorhead normal school, for
example, the average age of the teach
ers in attendance as pupils is seventeen
years, and the average age at which
they began to teach was sixteen years.
OF the 1850 teachers that attended the
summer training schools not one began
to teach after the age Of nineteen
years
The enrolment at the summer schools
included l ,ls7 graduates from common
schools, 1877 from high schools, s1a
from normal schools, and Ill from COL
legee First grade certificates are held
by only $50 out of 1859 teachers; second
grade by 1,761, and third grade by 436.
The total cost OF the summer schools
was 500, 346.12.

s Winter Wheat Experiments.


PROT. w. NJ. Hays, of the Minnesota
experiment station, has issued bulle-
tin on winter wheat, in which he gives
the results of experiments with several
varieties. Prot Hays concludes that
the hardest varieties can be grown
successfully in southeastern Mime
sofa. Prot. Hays says in the bulletin:
During the past several years the
acreage eown to winter wheat in south
eastern Minnesota has been gradually
increasing. Several years ago the
Minnesota experiment station began
the testing Of varieties of winter wheat
from different sources During the
years 1900 and 1901 either no crops
were secured or very poor ones, owing
to winter killing. During the years
1904 and 1908, however, following vim
ters less severe on these wheats, q
number Of the best winter varieties
have yielded two-thirds more than the
best spring varieties on, the university

THE SITUATION.

THE situation in this country at the
present time is highly disappointing to
the colored people, who love liberty and
appreciate guaranteed privileges. AT
the first blush. it would seem that we
have lost and are losing friends among
the white people of the country This
may be true, or it may be that those
white persons who were passively op-
posed to us are now giving voice to
their opinions.
Still, we have many strong, true and
tried friends among the white people of
this country to-day. 1t is necessary for
the conservative colored men of the
race to cultivate this friendship aud es-
pecially among the liberal white ele-
ments of the Southland. We can do
this by deserving their friendship, by
the expressions of goodwill, and by the
faithful discharge of the duties of cit
izenship.
The ignorant, insulting. blatant
members of our race, those who violate
the laws and respect neither God nor
Mammon, should be made to under
stand that they will receive no support
OF sympathy at the hands of those self
respecting colored people, who are i'm
proving their condition and is adding
to the material wealth of the communi-
ties in which they live. With this pol
icy, faithfully and steadily carried out,
we shall find that we have advocates
where we least expect them and that
the Negro-haters will find themselves
attacked from unexpected quarters.
The colored people are better off to-
day than they have ever been since the
first handful" of them landed at

SOME of oui contemporaries have
wondered why the PLANET has not
shown its old time vigor along editorial
lines. 1t has been due TO contending
with racial jealousy, caused by our sue
cess along other lines. We are now
President of a banking institution
whose deposits have aggregated
Sl30. 900 90 in twelve months.
AS one of our "money-wanting
brethren down here seemed to think
that we owned the money instead of
the bank, he went into court here and
asked a white jury, whom, he evident
ly presumed would be swayed by pref
udice against us to make us give him
Ten Thousand Dollars The jury di-
rected us to give him ONE (D CENT,
and the law directed him to pay all of
COSTS. The brother knows now that
we haven't been fighting in the courts
of the Southland eighteen years with
out understanding the situation. We
have been winning for other people and
we would indeed be poor specimen of
humanity not to be able to win for our
selves.

and Hon. JUDsoN LYONS, Register of
the Treasury to the reception given at
the White House last week in honor of
the Judiciary. The Negro-hating jour
nails of the South Immediately set up a

off, when they were reminded Of the
fact that President CLEVELAND Demo
craft had invited the late Hon. FRED
ERICK DOUGLASS to the White House on
a similar occasion.
1t is now stated that no southerner
can be found in the Washington who
will admit that he left the White
House on account of the presence of
these distinguished Afro Americans.
To emphasize his attitude, it is now
ANNOUNCED that the President has in

A GOVERNMENT
OFFICIAL.

THE case of Mrs MINNIE Cox, the
colored pcstmistress Of Indianola, Miss ,
is one of the most remarkable ever
brought to the attention of the govern
ment. 1t will tend to open the eyes of
the north to the true condition of at
fairs existing in the southland and will
expose the hypocrisy of that class OF
Negro haters, who have alleged that
their opposition to the Negro was based
on his ignorance, his incapacity and
his poverty.
We have all along asserted that the
true cause was due to the progress of
this remarkable race OF people and that
the illiterate whites were against the
better class of colored people.
Mrs. MINNIE Cox is educated, owning
property, variously estimated to be
worth $4,000. She has served as post
mistress for eight years and is endorsed
for the position by some of the leading
white citizens in the community. Yet
a number of prejudiced white citizens
under the influence of a white man,
who was candidate for the office, threat
en- her and ask her to resign. 1t was
then up to the national government.
That there could be no reasonable ex-
cuse for this action is evident, when 1t
is known that colored postmasters may
be found throughout the southland and
colored route agents and letter carriers
are everywhere in evidence from Maine
to Texas.
Mrs. Cox, no doubt, had a vivid rec
collection of the lamented FRAZIER b.
BAKER in South Carolina, who was
shot down and his body cremated at
Lake City, S. G.
These are stormy times for Us, but
God is raising up white friends for us
even where the prejudice is most ram
pant and the persecution, hottest.
President ROOSEVELT is not defend
ing Mrs. MINNIE Cox He is compel
ling respect for the law, and emphasiz-
ing the right of the government to APP
point any eligible citizen Of good char
acter TO Office.

attacked again and the work of re-
covering the bodies was begun. Out of
the first car eight bodies were taken.
The sight while the wreck was burning
was horrifying. Men could be seen in
the wreckage pinned fast amid the tim
bers of the cars and struggling to be
free while the flames roared around
them. The rescuers were helpless to
aid them. as they already had been
driven from the wreck by the flames.
One Of those who tried to take out a
man pinned in found that he was held
down by one leg near the ankle, and
seeing 1t would be useless to do any
thing else. is said to have finally sever
ed the mans leg and then carried him
to one OF the parlor cars. Both res
cued and rescuers were badly burned.
When the engine ploughed into the
rear car 1t partly split the car open,
and at the same time lifted IL up and
on to itself. This car was the first to
take fire and most Of those In t are
dead. Some OF them are believed to be
beneath the overturned engine.
Those in the car ahead, which was
lifted over the rear car, suffered the
most. For some time before the flames
reached them the car below and behind
them were enveloped in smoke and
steam. and it was here that the worst
sights were witnessed. The impris-
oned ones begged for death to end
their agonies, and implored those who
were laboring to get them free to crush
their heads with the axes they were
using to chop away the wreckage.
One passenger only was severely hurt
on the Royal Blue. He was walking In
the aisle OF one Of the cars when the
crash came, and the impact hurled him
up into the air and sidewise across the
heads Of several persons in chairs and
then through a window. One OF his
hands was cut and he was badly bruis-
ed. He said he was a son of John
Wanamaker, Of Philadelphia, He did
good work later on after his hand had
been bandaged.
A Westfield doctor went ;Eto the
wreck and bandaged and treated the
injured even before they were releas-
ed. Some of those he treated were
afterwards suffocated or burned to
death.

any legitimate effort now being made
to better our condition in this state, we
are willing TO desist. The colored man
who believes that any decision can be
obtained from that tribunal in accord
with the expectations of those who are
pressing the test cases, is hopeful in
deed.
However, we expect to say no more
along this line, feeling confident that
time will justify us in our conclusions.
A glance at the PLANETS files during
the last five years will convince any
one that the editor of the PLANET has
had no confidence in the United States
Supreme Court.

FED ARSENIC TO PARENTS
Girl Of 10 Explains Mysterious illness
of Father and Mother

Corning. N. Y, Jan. 26.-Thirteen-
year-old Nellie Kinsley has confessed
that a mysterious illness from which
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac b.
Kinsley, have been suffering is due to
poison she put into the food in order
to obtain their property after death.
do you know how to get money
and houses and everything you want?'
she asked her playmats while her
parents were ill. when your father
and mother are dead all they own win
belong to you. l found that out lit
tie while ago, and / took some OF the
rat poison papa got to kill the rats
with and put 1t in the supper cooked.
/ did not eat the supper, but papa and
mamma did and then they got sick. If
they die will have money"
At the Susquehanna Home, at Bling
hamton, she repeated the story OF the
poisoning. Nellie was adopted by Mr..
and Mrs. Kinsley when she was 2
years old. Recently Mr.. Kinsiey had
bought some arsenic. and 1t was kept
on shelf in the pantry. Soon after
Nellie prepared supper for her parents
and they were taken violently i'll. It
was traced to arsenic and Nellie was
suspected. Mrs. Kinsley will probably
be crippled for life as a result Of the
poisoning.

THE colored Baptists of this state
should not fail TO rally to the support of
the Virginia Theological Seminary and
College at Lynchburg, Va. The prog
ress now being made by this institution
is revelation. Handicapped as it has
been by pi cyerty, it nevertheless stands
forth as a monument to the possibilities
of colored Faptists.
President G.. W. HAYES has stood the
test to which he has been continually
subjected and tie Baptists will make
no mistake in continuing to recognize
his leadership. We have the money,
therefore, let us send it to the institu-
ton that has weathered the storm and

THAT SOUTH CAROLINA TRAGEDY

SOUTH CAROLINA has sown the tares
and it is now reaping the whirlwind
The brutal murder of Editor n. G.. Con
zALES by Lieutenant Governor JAMES
H. TIL.MAN is the result of the lawless-
ness which has hung over that state
like pail for more than quarter of a
century.
That Lieutenant Governor, sworn
to observe the LAWS would walk from
the presiding officers chair at the CAPT
toll at Columbia and kill an unarmed
man will surprise some people, but will
hardly c..use a thought among those
colored people and white Republicans,
who have been the victims of similar
assassinations.
When a state will send a self-confess-
ed murderer to the United States SEN
ate as was done in the case of Senator
b. r. TLLMAN, it is not surprising that
the nephew of this man should follow
in his footsteps and stain his hands
with the blood of a southern white
man.
TIE disregard of the oath with refer
ence to the colored man has led TO a
similar Disregard with reference to the
white one.
All of the parties concerned have an
antipathy to the Negro and all we have
TO say is, Go on with the funerals!
