behind. The negro race in its in
fancy is like a boy in his infancy.
We may expect to have to knock
arc tussel and run foot races until
we grow up to manhood.
The colored race of North Carolina
alone spends over a half million dol
lars each year seeking pleasure. It's
only rich people who can afford much
pleasure. Could not this great flood
of extravaganza be checked to a
great extent? We should never at
tempt to fly like eagles with the
| wings of Wrens.
In conclusion, let me say just a
word regarding race haired. Name
one race of people that ever climbed
the ladder of timet to success by hating
another race OF people. Hatred always
begets hatred; and so does love be-
get love. AS soon as you show me
that you have no confidence in me,
you lessen my confidence in YOU. 1
think that every opportunity should
be made use of in warning the col
ored a c. against this great mistake.
l know enough to know that all
liberal and falr-minded white peo-
pie of this country are in sympathy
| with the colored race. Notwithstand-
ing the Negroes condition in the past
and at present, it seems to me that
the negro has much to be proud of.
Just look back to our mother coun-
try and see the condition that our
~fOrefathers are in to-day where God
and civilization are almost unknown
land then turn your eye back this
way, and see what great advantages
have been ours by being brought here
and placed amidst this great Anglo
| Saxon race. 1t makes me eXclaim
from the fitness Of NY soul: Thank
God that we ever got here! It is
true that we were once slaves; but
to-day we are free American citizens.
It is true that we have had the doors
of education closed against US; but
to-day we have the doors of every
institution thrown open to us that
any other people have who are no
weather. than we are. Our previous
and present condition and our dis
tinction of race is what creates a race
problem. By constant, honest eff
forts, we can solve all of these prob
lens but one; that is: We can't
change the color of orr skin; and we
need not ourselves about
that: it's not required of us. When
ever a negro, from q nurse up to the
highest professional man or woman,
makes their calling q success, they
have saiy%d their mart Ct the race
problem. II is something that cas,-
not be tatsed up: Il must, Of neces-
sity, be worked cut.

ENGL4ND'S PART IN WAR.
4 Conflict Feared Toxic Cabinet
Council

London Jan. There are TWO indications
dhis morning that nothing definite has developed
IN the Far Eastern crisis, and that nothing is
likely TO develop until the end Of the week.
The first Of these indications, according TO the
Toxic correspondent OF The Daily Telegraph"
IS that an urgency meeting Of the japanese
cabinet has been called for to-day, and the sec
ond that the members Of the British Cabinet
ave received notice 70 assemble on Saturday.
The meeting OF the japanese Cabinet has al
most certainly been called for the purpose Of
considering the reply OF Russia to the last Jap
anese note. and it is equally certain that the
meeting Of the British Cabinet viii be for the
purpose Of discussing the attitude OF Great
Britain in the light Of the Russian reply.
This question Is beginning to be most anxious
u discussed by the British press. Editorials in
his mornings papers are almost unanimous IN
admitting that even If the war should be con-
fined 10 Russia and Japan, Great Britain can
not possibly see Japan crushed and that al
though not called upon TO interfere by the terms
~ the AnElo-Japanese treaty, and that while
hostilities may be confined TO the two nations,
Yet in the event Of Japan suffering great naval
defeat Great Britain would be almost compelled
10 60 70 her assistance
Thus" The Daily Telegraph" observes the
cabinet VIII be called upon 10 discuss not only
the nature Of the obligations arising out of the
British neutrality in the event OF Russo-Jap-
anese war"
Some Of the papers. apparently doubling
from the record Of the present government its
ability TO deal with such a difficult situation.
urge that a plain indication Of Great Britain's
intentions would b. most effective in averting
war.
The Morning Post asks: What has the
government done 10y way Of preparation for
war on great scale IN 1sO4o' The Daily Mail"
wants Russia informed that under circum-
stances viii Great Britain permit the Russian
Black Sea feet 10 pass the Dardanelles," and
urges the admiralty 20 see that the navy IS
quite ready for emergencies"
Baron Hayashl, the japanese Minister. in an
interview published this morning makes in
1eresting reference 10 the report from St Peters
burg that peace is likely to be settled by the
Russian Christmas The minister said:
That implies the belief according to Russian
expectation, that Japan will give her reply much
quicker than the Cars government has been
able 10 DO. I notice that when il is Russia's
iurn 20 reply The Russian and some European
papers are very pacific bU: directly II devolves
upon Japan 10 answer their tone suddenly be
'oTnes pessimistic This is very significant.
