ALL READY FOR
CANNON MEETING
GATHERING WILL BE A VERY
LARGE ONE
GREAT ENTHUSIASM
Will Prevail and the Opening of the
Local Campaign Will Be
Auspicious.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM

This evening when the doors Of the
Coliseum are thrown open for the be-
ginning Of the campaign in Wayne
County. and when Joseph G. Cannon
will deliver an address, it is probable
that the meeting will be one OF the
largest, most enthusiastic gatherings
of ardent Republicans ever held in
this city.
"Uncle joe will be a good one to
open the campaign, and the choice of
him was wise one. Mr.. Cannon Is
one of the hardest working Republic
cans in the country and the Republl-
cans of the county will have a great
impetus added to their ardor by his
address.
The gathering will, in all probabili-
ty. be the largest political affair of the
kind held in this state, outside of In
dianapolis, in many years. The sup
posed closeness of the campaign in
this state which will be a "battle-
ground where the war will be
waged will draw over four thousand
people to Richmond, to the Coliseum
tonight. The crowd, will at all
events, be the largest ever seen in this
county.
To aid in rousing the enthusiasm,
the drum and bugle corps,which hvae
recently been formed to give good
service for the local G. 0. P. during
the present campaign, will be on hand
with its martial and inspiring airs.
The drum corps always adds a great
deal to a campaign, and is a strong
factor. as much so as the old "torch
light parades' Of days gone by. The
Young Men s Republican Club, an
other recent organization of enthusi-
astic Republicans, will be on hand,
and from present indications the en-
thusiasm will be unbounded. Every
thing has been completed in the way
of preliminary arrangements, and the
outlook has not a cloud.

Booker washingtOn,s Work.

Working With the Hands,, the latest
work of Booker Washington. is simply
a collection of explanations of the work
dORs - Tuskegee. Everybody knows by
this time the main theories and features
of this work. but this is a book of de-
tails.
Mr.. Washington is an advocate of the
Zine upon line" method. as. indeed
every educator of the people must be.
The president or professor In college or
university may be able to afford orig
inality, progress, Continual discarding
of old methods for new. but the man
who comes in direct contact with the
masses must stick to certain broad prin-
ciples and hammer away at necessary
Instruction until he has laid the founda-
tion for more varied work. We find re-
iterated here the principles for which
the writer stands-honesty frugality
-horoughuess. hand training as a means
Of head training, material progress as a
foundation for mental and moral prog
ress-but 1t is not trite for all that. be-
cause it is an elaboration of these ideas,
a definite description Of the way in
which these desired ends may be at
tained.
II is doubtful whether there ever was
a system of training for an undeveloped
human being as thorough and effective
as that of Tuskegee. 1t is often said
that the discipline Of slavery did for
the negro what modern schools cannot,
and undoubtedly. in some cases, It did.
But ii should be remembered that all
masters and mistresses were not ideal,
that all servants were not house ser
wants, and that. while few men and
women received thorough training as
house servants and mechanics, the mass

of the race remained unframed. did the
simplest manual labor, were relieved of
all necessity for mental sxertion, the
providing of their food, the making Of
their clothing. the care OF their chill
oren being taken off their hands. At
Iuskegee every student receives a GER
tain mental as well as industrial train
ing, and may gain as much Of both as
his ability allows.
Thomas Nelson Page and one or two
other theorists are fond Of saying that
outside interference with the negro has
never done anything but harm TO the
South II is interesting to nae in this
connection that Booker Washington. the
one man who has done most to uplift his
race and make it acceptable to the white
South. received his first training from
Vermont women. and his subsequent
education at Hampton. which was
founded by the son of a New England
missionary. The graduates of Tuskegee
and the fifteen or twenty branch schools
run on the same plan may. in course Of
time. equal in number the mechanics
and farmers educated by slavery. and
they are certainly educated much more
scientifically. and in ways better suited
to. the needs Of the modern South.
A specimen Of Tuskegee methods may
be found in the account of the develop
ment OF broom making as one of its in
dustries. Brooms are used and used up,
in such numbers in the seventy build
ings Of the institution. that Il was found
advisable TO raise broom-corn and make
the brooms on the premises
Another anecdote illustrating the in
fiuence Of Tuskegee students concerns
one of the graduates who keeps a little
store in an Alabama village. Under the
store and in its back yard lives a hog,

English Country Life.

"A Bachelor in Already" by Halliwell
Sutcliffe is an idyilic picture of Eng
lish country life. the narrative element
being quite subordinate 10 the descrip-
ton. There is a fresh wholesomeness
about it which is delightful. and one
gets a very good idea of the life which
may be led by a fairly well-to-Go young
Englishman of rurual inclinations. A
whimsical humor runs through IL all.
there are some amusing character
sketches. and the romantic clement is
supplied by girl neighbor who IS some~
times called Galley and sometimes The
Babe and eventually transforms the
bachelor TO a benedict in Already
