THE COLORED MANS OPPORTU-
NIFTY.
NIFTY.

The time is past when the only ca
reers in life open to a Negro were to
pick cotton, make up berths in Pull
man Sleeping car, or wait on table.
The study of the Negro population by
the Census Bureau discloses some
facts that show very clearly that the
colored race is steadily developing a
complete social and Industrial system
of its own. There is hardly any
branch of industry in which Negroes
are not represented, and that st te-
ment includes the women as wei as
the men.
One of the most serious difficulties
which the colored person has to con-
tend with is prejudice against the
dark color of their skin. Recent sci
entific discoveries have made it pos
sible for the Negro to rid himself Of
this inconvenience. The discovery Of
Black More has done much to aid
the Negro in his upward progress
IAe more intelligent Negroes will lose
no time in taking advantage of this
opportunity to convert their dark skin
into white. Indeed from the reports
that are coming in from all parts OF
| the country it looks as if the colored
face will soon be g. thing Of the past

London. Aug 9.-Replying to criticism Of the

II was more important now than ever before
that British battleships especially should be Of

Referring to submarine boats. Lord seIborne
said their value for defensive purposes had been
abundantly proved. They were great addition
10 the national strength. He did not believe
submarine boats had reached their limit OF i'm
provenen- or usefulness. The lessons from the
war in the Far East we're the Importance Of the

That II other nations would agree TO diminish

not be slow to join the movement had not been

complicated A few years ago it would have
suficed If France and Great Britain had agreed
TO diminish their sn pbuilding, but now there
were almost half a dozen great naval powers
and Great Britain and France must consider
the expenditure Of other powers The two

Lord Selborne referred TO the newspaper com
parsons Of the gunnery and strength Of the
German vessels which recently had visited Eng
land, and pointed out that the German shlps
carried eighteen 6-inch guns, compared with
twelve on the ships of the British Chaililel
squadron. The British ships, however carried
