sT. LOUIS WAS "swAMPED."
Inadequate Management Results
Embarrassment to Roosevelt.

Worlds Fair Grounds, st. Louis, Mo-.
May 2-Inadequate management has
characterized the dedication ceremonies
Of the exposition almost from the be-
ginning. In the entertainment or the
president and distinguished visitors, II
has amounted almost 70 discourtesy
The manner in which President Roose-
Welt lunched Wednesday Is likely to be-
come historic. Standing up to slop-
py counter running with spilled coffee
jostled by a miscellaneous crowd. he
was handed cold, damp sandwich and
a Gun of cold coffee, and thus he re-
freshed himself.
The local committee is busy trying to
shirk the blame. They say II was the
members of the diplomatic corps with
their wives who rushed In and con-
sumed the provisions which had been
prepared for the president. But the
fact appears to be that no proper en-
tertainment had been provided foi
either of them. The fact remains that
both the diplomats ard President
Roosevelt Jared hungrily. roughly ano
coldly. 1t was about at this stage OF the
game that President Roosevelt took
things into his own hands and asked
where the corps of Washington corre-
spondents was lodged. He was told at
the dormitory at the far end of the
grounds.
"Then that's where I go now" said
he ..If YOU gentlemen will all excuse
me. / will go and see my newspaper
friends for time and take a little rest. !.
So he was permitted to go to the dor
mitory. where the newspaper men made
him comfortable and he took nap OF
about an hour.
One of the humors of the situation
and it is full of humorous situations to
one in the moods the fine sarcasm OF
the governor of Colorado, who has is
sued an invitation in one of the local
napers to the local reception and enter
tainment committee to meet him at the
Southern Hotel. The governor explains
that he was not met or entertained ps
them and ventures to suggest that they
might like to make his acquaintance
These incidents are typical. 1t has been
one grand mix-up from start to date
The local authorities appear TO nave
bit off more than they can cheW. sc
far as the entertainment OF invited
guests is concerned.
Transportation has been inadequate
Provender has been scarce and high
priced. There are programs of enter
tainment, which on paper are magnih-
cent. but in execution ere childishly
nopelessly, dismally futile. 1t may
hopelessly, dismally futile. There is
something wrong somewhere. screw
loose in the machinery. X may prove q
good lesson and one which VIII resul'
in reforms before the big game opens
next year but unless it does the expo
sition will fall many PAGES short of the
Chicago standard.

CHARACTERIZATION OF THE NEGRO.
Ministers of His Own Race the CoIored
Mans Greatest Need.

Recently a succession of rneeting$
has been held in this city and u
with view not only te increa
area of personal interest in the e
tion of the negro, but also to make -
interest more intelligent They musfS
have profoundly impressed those who
attended them with the fact that most
happily for the public veal the educa-
ton of the negro is mainly a Christian
education. They failed of their purpose
if they did not show that the funda-
mental need of the negro, more in
sistent even than the need of educa-
tional training, is the need of evangeli-
zation; that the awful moral ills from
which the race and thru them the nation
is suffering, can be cured only by q gen
Huine religious experience, q vital and
intelligent piety. And tothis end they
mus have ministers of their own race.
BY gift of oratepe, by depth of SYM
pathg, by subtle sense of language, by
rich inlag.na ton, .,le negro whose nat-
ural exuberant powers have received =
discipline at once severe and generous
must make an ideal pastor or evangel-
ist among his own people. Without q
peradventure the painfully low moral
standard among the present generation
of negroes must be in large part
traced to their need of the gospel
Under the regime of slavery they had
it. SeateS in the galleries or on the
back seats of the churches to which
their masters and they alike belonged,
they heard the very best preaching that
the country at that time afforded; and
southern pastors of those days were
men of fine gifts and thorough educa-
ton. Since the war things have been
different. The uneducated negro
preacher has been a blot upon civiliza-
ton. The common saying that the
best are the worst is we'll nigh justified
for the least moral among them have
best known how to exploit the calling
of the preacher to their own ends. But
only a minimum of the negroes have
any religious privileges at all.
