The Japanese asked for subscrip-
lions to a war loan of 100, 100000 yen.
The loan was over-subscribed five
times, the small subscriptions alone
exceeding 100,000,O00 yen, the amount
asked for. The Japanese people are
a unit and they are succeeding in a
war against a great power. Ten mil
lion Afro-Americans ought to raise a
fund of $1,000,000 to be used in the
fight for the rights of the race. In
this country money talks and million
would work wonders.

VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE AD-
JOURNS,

: God be praised! The Virginia legis-
lature has at last adjourned after dis
gracing the state by placing odious
laws on the statute book. Thousands
of dollars of the peoples money has
been wasted by an alleged legislature,
working under an alleged constitution,
which has done very little except pass
laws which take away or curtail rights
of the black man. ','t.
Virginia would have Jared better If
the legislature had not convened. Its
work was devilish. Thank God it has
adjourned.

Rev. Joseph A. Vance of the Hyde:
Park Presbyterian Church has written
book called "Ameriean Problems"
He, of course, starts with the race
problem, and says that Afro-Americans
who can read and write furnish more
criminals than the illiterate members
of the race This is absolutely false,
statistics showing that about 20 per
cent of Afro-American criminals are
wholly illiterate ;.

A fool Afro-American writing in one
of the Northern papers says that the
Afro-American is wasting money fight
ing disfranchisement laws. No money
was ever wasted in fighting racial dis
examinations. The usual trouble is that
not enough money is spent in this d.
rection. Money is all-powerful in this
country and if the race could be rous-
ed to contribute to a big fund, to be
used in defense of the race, much good
could be accomplished. ~

and Glorious Nation for Our Many
Readers.

Washington, March 24.--The man
from Tuskegee has been here. The at
mosphere of doubt that surrounded
his views on vital questions affecting
the race generally, has been dispelled.
The cloud of theory has been sur
charged with facts and to find grounds
for further disagreement with him
along essential lines would be ex-
tremely difficult.
| Mr.. Washington is doing a great
and good work for the uplift of the
race, and there are none who can
doubt his sincerity, although there are
some of us who would use or try differ
ent methods to obtain certain results.
But Mr.. Washington has passed the
theoretical stage in his life's work and
is accomplishing more in his practical
/ way and can bring more influences to
bear, can create more sympathy, can
obtain more assistance, moral and
financial, in fact he can, whether in
Tuskegee, New York or Washington,
put more wires in operation for the
benefit of the race in ten minutes than
any even hundred of us who would
give him, points on running Tuskegee
and who would solve the race prob
lem on theory and at a. distance, can
place in operation in ten years, and
the reason is that he is personally
known and enjoys the confidence OF
those who enter largely nto the af
fairs that shape the policies of Ou1
national life. -:

the book OF Esther Was written by
Mordecia, Jew. who was Esther's foster

WHY NOT OWN THEM.


Secretary Taft has appeared before the
insular committee Of the house and
made sn argument in favor Of the pro-
portion to give Il projected Philippine
railroads q guarani -e Of 0, per cent
on the investment. He thinks that 6
land grant would not attract capital, but
that the guaranty Of dividends would.

will belong TO the people when the Fill.

Secretary Taft seems to be Quie thor.
oughly saturated with the idea that the
main purpose OF government is to look
after capital and TO offer it such tempt.
ing advantage as TO overcome its pro-
verbal timidi,y. He would build society
from the top, on the theory that the
CAPITALISTS will take care Of the people if
the government will only take care Of
the capitalists.

WATER AND SEWERS

Tie proposition advanced by Council
man Jones last night, - borrow money
for the construction OF main sew ers, and
the improvement, Of the water FyEtem.
seems to be The only practical solution
of ,hose pressing problems
The position taken by some q The
councilmen. that the adjacent distric,
should pay tor main sewers, may be all
RICH, legally this il question
but il is scani justice TO .be people at
present in that district Tie main sese,
recommended ~ the engineer would
drain the heart Of the city-the section
where poor sanitation threatens the
health Of the whole city. and is matter
O. pu bic interest. To build those uains
with borrowed money would permit The
payment Of the improvement by future
residents who will be benefited there
by. To compel immediate payment
from tue present owners, in addition 10
the necessary ls.ersls, would be
serious burden upon people al
ready taxed TO build city out Of the
rough, and will mean the indefinite post.
tonnen, OF this much needed work.
The objection Ct Mr.. sherwood 10
bonding for water works, On the plea
that the revenues, as now fixed. would
pay for all required Improvements, BE-
trays an unwise condition if true. The
benefits Of municip pal ownership should
accure TO the whole people, and TO run
any municipal utility Tor profit is a
vicious plan. There is 10 more justice
in taxing t1e present water consumers

there would be in taxing them TO erect

CONGRESSMAN BAKER.

A Washington correspondent tells a
story which il supposed 70 be joke On
Congressman Baker. Asked why the
republicans are in hurry 10 adjourn,
republican leader in congress replied
because We are tired Of Baker Of
Brooklyn" And well may they be
tired Of Baker Of Brooklyn for in his
5 speeches he wastes 10 time in humor Or
L. eloquence. but hits bUll's.eye every
: time he takes aim. In one Of his recent
: speeches, one Of those that make the
republican members tired, he brought
the distinguished Mr. OlmAted. Of
Pennsylvania, all futtering 70 the
ground. Mr. Olmsted had silenced a
prominent democratic member with the
bald assert On that under the Iingley
tariff wages are higher. and steei rails
are higher, and yet railroa rates are
lower, than before.
That was Bakers opportunity. He
produced leading newspaper reports Of
wage reductions all over the country
he referred 70 Dunn's Review for eyi.
dence Of increase in living expenses
and he quoted statement Of the Inter.
State Commission to prove that railroad
rates have enormously increased. II
there were more democratic members
with the will TO make the republican
members az tired az Baker does, and for
the same reason, it would be money in
the pocketa Of the people. But the
trusts would suffer.
