SOCIAL EQUALITY
NOT FOR NEGROES
African Methodist Clergy
man Speaks Frankly.
mo REAL RACE PROBLEM"
Opportunities for Colored Men Greater
in South Than in North,
He Says.

PHILADELPHIA. March 2s.-'No de-
cent negro or white man desires per-
sonal intermingling. Only fools talk of
social equality as a possibility" de-
clared the Rev DR.. ". T. Blackwell. OF
Statesvilie. n. c., in an address on the
negro problem in Wesley African Meth
odist Episcopal Zion Church. Fifteenth
and Lombard Streets last night Con.
tinuing, he said:
mere IS no race problem in the
oouth- what seems TO be such is more
IN the mind than in fact I think tho
opportunities for the negro in the Soutb
are superior 10 those offered in the
North.
ihe negro in the South does not need
the sympathy Of the people in the North
IN TIE shape Of shotgun retaliation. but
ne wants examples Of thrift economy
and character building. The most hone
iul thing about this whole discussion
IS the industrial system that preva rs
throughout the South. Such a system
does not exist IN the North.

United States Geogtapher Deluged by In
quiries as to Proper SpeIling---tie Sug-

Henry Gannett, geogra pher of the
United States Geological Survey, has re-
Gently received numerous letters Of in
quiry regarding the proper spelling OF
the place names in Korea and Man
chuTia that have become prominent IN
the news columns Of the day since tn,
outbreak OF hosuIities between Russia
and Japan
The variation in spelling observed in
the usage Of different newspapers and
different map makers is confusing to
the common mind. Mr. Gannett sug-
gests that the matter would be much
simplihed if it were generally known
that a symtem of reconsideration of such
names has been adopted by most Euro
pean nations by Canada. and by this
country. This plan is published in the
second report OF the United States
Board on. Geographic Names
How Confusion Arises:
The confusion arises from the fact
that these geographic names are writ
ten in their native tongues in charac-
tiers unlike those we employ Different
persons transliterate them into Roman
characters in different ways. The value
of set Of rules that would reduce the
variations in spelling TO a minimum is

NEW YORK. March 2S.-The Hon.
William J. Bryan made "a hurried visit
TO New York ON his way from Lincoln
to New Haven. While in the city Nj.
Bry an took occasion 10 indulge In some
decidedly antagOnistic remarks on the
Candidacy OF Judge Parker for the Pres
idency
81 should like very much 10 know
where Judge Parker stands on some i'm
Iortant questions said Mr.. Bryan
when he was asked if he favored the
Parker movement. "Iu fact. I have
been vainly trying Tor some time 70
see where he stands, but he has not
said anything, and insists on remaining
as dumb as an oyster.
do YOU not think that in view of his
position on the bench Judge Parker
should keep himself away from all
political discussions was asked.
No Right to Aspire.
ANY man who is not in a position to
let the people know where he stands
on vital matters, said Mr.. Bryan en-
phaucally has no right to be a candi-
date FOR the Presidency. He has no
righJ TO aspire 10 that office unless he
is willing to LEI 4he people know what
he stands for This has become all
the more important since the decision
in the northern Securities merger case.
We should like very much 60 know
whether Judge Parker, if elected Presi-
dent would appoint justices OF the
United States Supreme Court after the
stamp of the men that President ClevC-
lana appointed or If he would appoint
mcI. who viii aid in the destruction of
trusts and Illegal combinations of CAPT
tai That certainly is a vital question
al this time, and one on which ] should
like 10 hear from Judge Parker. Ger
tainly the fact that ex-senator Hill is
advocating the candidacy Of Judge Par
ker is not at all reassuFing on this
point. II does not make il look as If
Parker would appoint any 'trust-5ust-
Ing judges.
Then YOU do not consider Judge
Parker an available candidate?"
"Not Available"
available candidate?" Mr. Bryan
echoed. How on earth are you TO
know If man is available If you can't
fine out where he stands?"

the sentiment for national aid TO road
Improvement should be so strong in the

is shown by the fact that the pioneer
advocates of that plan in both houses
Of Congress are from the South-Repre-

The Legislature of Tennessee was the
first to memorabilia Congress to make

he received. Yes. we are getting broad
applause
The fact is that the South has been
aroused by stern necessity. The farm
ers OF the South want the help OF the

Is Becoming Popular in Section.

The people of the South appear to be
greatly aroused on the question of high
way Improvement. The roads of the
South are. on the whole, worse than
those of any other section. There are
several reasons for this, among which
may be mentioned unfavorabIe climatic
coalitions and scarcity of bodybuilding
materials To these may be added the
fact that the South has hardly Is yet
fully recovered from the devastating e.
fects of the civil war, and the popu-
lation and wealth per capita are less
in proportion to the mileage Of roads
than in most Northern States.
But the public-spirited citizens of the
South are enthusiastic advocates Of bet
ter roads, Notwithstanding these OBJ
stacles. In many counties of North Car
olina. Tennessee. and Texas, bonds have
been issued. and many miles of first
class roads constructed.
Sand-Clay Roads.
II there is anything worse than
clay road. it is one Of sand But. appa-
rently by accident IT was discovered a
few years ago that sand and clay, thor
Oughly mixed in proper proportions,
make an excellent road.
AS a result Of this discovery a large
mileage Of Sand-clay roads mas been
constructed in North and South Caro-
lima, and some in other States. Two
advantages of this kind of road are
cheapncss of construction and abund-
ance of material.
Shell Roads.
In many coast counties in the South
shells are used for making roads anc
they prove an excellent substitute for
crushed stone. In southern Alabama ana
Louisiana may be found some stretches
of shell road that are as fine as any
in the country.
II is a matter of surprise to some that
