CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

F The Car of Russia administers a
neat and effective rebuke to the hys-
ter1cal Americans who have lombard
ed his government with offers of as
SlStance TO the prosecuted Jews of his
Empire and with resolutions of con-
demnat1on or protest touching the
treatment accorded these people by the
Russian authorities. He tells his crit
les and these would-be philanthropists
that he is quite solvent-quite able o
afford any needed financial or other
relief and that he must decline to ac-
cept any outside suggestions as to how
he shall govern his people Jews or
Gentiles.
The Car was right What hypocri-
cy these Americans exhibit. anyhow.
Has II ever occurred to them TO con-
slider how they appear from the coign
or vantage occupied by an intelligent
European mind as they go blKndering
about the world like a modern Don

or imaginary, OF all foreign peopIe?
Ii is wholly apart from the question
whether the Jews have been cruelty

the American snivel by a diplomatic
reminder that America has troubles

divided attention for many years 10

THE COLOR LINE IN PENNSYLVA-
MA.

The Independent, of PittSburg, Pa,
in recent issue has a moving lament
over the difficulty experienced by col
ored people without distinction of con-
dition and class in renting houses Ell
ther in Pittsburg or Allegheny.
We cordially sympathize with the
Independent. The identical, if not
worse. condition exists right here in
Washington. Every subterfuge is re-
sorted to, no inquiry into ones ability
to pay is made, and no attempt TO as
certain ones reputation for caring
proprely for previously rented houses
is undertaken. Often in a long list
Of houses for rent published in the
daily papers one finds an asterisk op-
pOsite the description of each of two
or three properties, and at the end of
the advertisement the asterisk is ex-
planned these houses may be rented
by colored people" We have grown
too wise, however, to look them up.
They are invariably worn out, out of
repair, the former abodes of disrepu-
table characters or such as no decent
white family would occupy Yet it is
generally conceded that the Negro is
an excellent tenant, prompt paying
and careful in keeping the property in
order and more often than otherwise
making repairs of a minor character
at his own expense without calling on
landlord or agent for them
The statement often made that
white tenants will move out if a col
ored family moves in the immediate
neighborhood is false, as we all know,
for what self-respecting colored fam
lily has failed to make delightful ac-
quaintance with their white neighbors
when accident makes them such?

The announcement is made that the
vacant office of President of Howard
University has been filled by the Board
OF Trustees in the selection of DR..
John Gordon, a man of much scholar
ship, an author of some note. and at
present the head of Tabor College.
Tabor, Iowa We do not know. aside
from his conceded great learning
what special qualifications DR.. Gordon
has for the peculiarly trying duties Of
this position, nor in what manner he
has heretofore demonstrated his svn-
pathy with the high aims of the Uni
verslty. but we have confidence in the
wisdom of the Board of Trustees and
we hope for the best. In common with
all other race lovers we watch with
Jealous eye every act and movement
affecting the interests of this great
institution of learning which is so
close TO our hearts and which is per
forming so vast volume of good for
our people and without seeking to de
prec1ate the prospective usefulness. of
Dr. Gordon we cannot refrain from ex-
pressing our profound regret that
some cultured and representative col
ored man like DR.. Grimke or Prof
Kelly Miller was not selected TO pre-
side over the destinies of this honored
Institution.

1t is most interesting to record the
fact, as showing the substantial prog
ress the race is making in acquiring
the real, essential things of this prac-
teal world, that at the dinner given to
DR.. Washington, of Tuskegee, recently
in New York City, there sat down with
him colored men representing more
than 100000 worth of real estate
The New York City colored men have
set a fine example anyhow, to our peo-
pie elsewhere in voluntarily subscrib-
ing and promptly paying also the
amount necessary TO provide two
scholarships at Tuskegee These men
have fully absorbed and digested the
philosophy of that wise old ex-slave
who said that the best friends he had
were not the white men of the coun-
try, but God and a dollar bill.

EDUCATION IN OKLAHOMA.

We have watched with sympathetic
interest the attitude of Prof. 1nman
E. Page, President of the LangSton
University, Oklahoma Territory, dur
ing the bitter and unwarranted at
tacks which for some time past have
been made upon his management OF
that institution and upon him person
ally with the declared purpose to cause
his removal, and our admiration for
the man has increased greatly as we
have noted his dignified and manly
course The eVentuation has justified
our predictions The Governor of the
State, who has the power of appoint
ment, has peremptorially refused to
remove the professor, and Langston
University will continue to enjoy his
almost invaluable services.
The allegations of the Professors
incompetency and of absolute methods
create only amusement in this part of
the country and farther east as well,
where the solid qualities and thorough
educational qualifications of Mr.. Page
are perfectly well known and highly
commended We congratulate the
people of the Territory, the students Of
the University, and the race in general
over the outcome One of the most
admirable features of the episode
which must appeal to the tenderest
sensibilities of Prof. Page was the act
i've loyalty and support accorded to
him by the really influential men of
the Territory. Eminent among them
and indeed the leader of the movement
in his defense was Mr.. John c. Left
wich the editor of that sterling race
journal, THE Western World a man
of brains, power and influence. He
appreciated the value of Prof. Page,

personality he soon put to rout the
'titmice" who emerged from their ma
tive obscurity only long enough to ex-
hibit an undEaped base and TO point
the moral of the commanding influ-
ence of a really worthy and powerful
newspaper like the World. We felici-
tate Prof. Page, but tender to Editor
Leftwich the sentiment of our higher
and most distinguished consideration

OUR MANLY PRESIDENT.

Whenever an utterance comes from
President Roosevelt touching our race
his words ring true. Here is what he
said in his speech at Springfield, Hi
nois. in alluSion to the presence In
the audience of Company H, Sth Illi-
nois National Guards, composed OF
colored men:
1T seems to me eminently fitting
that the guard around the tomb OF
Lincoln should be composed of colored
soldiers. 1t was my own good fortune
at Santiago to serve beside colOred
troops A man who is good enough to
shed his blood for his country is good
enugh to be given a square deal after
ward.
More than that no man is entitled
TO, and less than that no man shall
have"
His manlineSS and fine courage are
the secrets of his unprecedented popu-
larity with the American people. while
they make him the despair of profes-
sional politicians and opportunists.
