WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
The Education of the NEGRO

To the Editor of The Journal.
Please allow me space to comment on
your editorial Of Aug. 3, Negroes Caught
Wnen Young" wish to defend the So
caHed false systems Of education for
the negro because your editorial mention
is likely to do untold harm to these
schools which depend for support largely
upon donations from many of the people
who read your paper.
The system of education in Fisk uniyer-
sity, Clark University Atlanta university.
Clann university and other similar schools
IS copied after the best colleges of the
north. II Minnesota. Massachusetts, New
York and other states Of equal Intelligence
have decided that this system of educa-
tion Is the best to fit white men for
the responsibility of citizenship, why is
1t false when applied to the negro.
These schools have been directly re-
sponslple for the progress Of the negro
mits unequalled in all history In Georgia
alone the negro pays taxes on s27, ,000, 900,
more than five times the estimated wealth
OF the negro in the entire Union at eman-
clpation. Negroes own in the south
900 farms and 100000 homes; SO per
cent OF the former and 81 per cent of the
latter are unencumbered Negroes have
raised more than s11, 600, 900 for educa-
tional purposes This is the result Of
the influence, chiefly, of these schools.
II required thousand years, from the
fifth to the fifteenth century to make the
Teuton. Cannot the negro have one tenth
OF the time?
The critic of the south is more anxious
for beast of burden than that the re-
quirements Of manhood should be met.
Let these generals of southern industry
guarantee protection and sufficient re-
muneration for work as an inducement,
and there will be no demand unsupplied.

The history of advertising in Pitts
burg might almost be said to be the
history Of the William S. Power
company.
Mr.. Power graduated from the
newspaper business something over
eighteen years ago, and was the first
in that city to take up as profession
the preparation of advertising mat
ter. Advertising conditions We're very
crude in those early days, and there
were not in the entire country more
than eight or ten men who were de-
voting their attention to the profess
sional side of the business. There
We're plenty Of so-called advertising
agencies, but they were simply brok-
ers in newspaper and magazine space
without a thought as to the prepara-
ton of copy, or the outlining of an
intelligent plan of campaign. These
were matters that were supposed to
be looked after by the advertiser him
self, and that were entirely outside
the province of the advertising agent.
The coming Of the professional ad-
vertising man, however, has changed
conditions vitally, and while the buy
ing of space still is, and always will
be, an important consideration, it is
the agency that can prepare the
most attractive illustrations-and that
can develop the most forceful adver-
tising campaign that gets the business
Of the wise advertiser who has money
/ to spend.
One of the most important accom-
plishments Of this company was the
development Of financial advertising.
Mr.. Power was the pioneer in banking
by mail advertising, and has acquired
a national reputation as an authority
on that subject. The company now
has entire charge of the advertising
of many Of the largest banks and trust
companies in this city and Cleveland;
also special work for almost one hun
| dred financial institutions in other
parts of the country, expending in the
course Of year in advertising Of this
| character over S200,000.

Importance of Alaska.

The governments annual statement
Of commerce with the dependencies,
as they are sometimes called,
shows that our trade with
Alaska, during the fiscal year
ending June 80, just closed,
amounted to $26,383,539 This
breaks all records for the District of
Alaska by a little more than $4,000
600, while there was decrease in the
trade of Hawaii, and a slight falling
off in the commerce of Porto Rico.
The Philippine trade has increased
$1,500,000, and that of Alaska over 8
per cent. The total commerce with
Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico, the
Philippines, Midway island, Guam
and Tutuila, amounted the last fiscal
year to $102,S79,443. It may be OBJ
served that the Alaskan commerce
was more than quarter of the
trade with all our outside possessions,
altho there is no comparison between
that territory and some of the others
with respect to population.
The principal item Of the Alaskan
trade is salmon, in Hawaii sugar, and
in the Philippines hemp. The gold
output for Alaska during the
last fiscal year was S6,352,O2s,
as against s4,754,57s the year
before. The total shipment Of
domestic merchandise from the
United States to Alaska not including
gold or silver, amounted to $9,S69,972,
and the shipments from Alaska, not
including the precious metals,
amounted to $10,1OO,22O. Nearly all
of this volume of imports, exclusive
of gold. consists of the products of the
shipping industry, and particularly
the salmon canning business, which
has amounted in previous years to as
much as s9,000,000.
These are interesting figures in con-
nection with the trade of district
which until within the last five or six
years has been regarded as practically
of no value to this country and con-
i corning which congress has not yet
manifested sufficient interest to con-
cede to it the privilege Of sending a
Representative to Washington to pro-
mote the interests of that district in

Reclaiming the Great Swamp,

The DEVELOPMENT Of northern Min
nesota would have been fastened by
an early adoption of the Wisconsin
plan, which devotes one-half the
moneys received from sale of swamp
lands to fund for the drainage and
reclamation of such lands. Under this
system the Wisconsin state officials
have had a continuous fund for drain
age work, which has reclaimed large
areas of swamp and marsh, making
them fit for settlement.
In Minnesota this policy is pre-
cluded by a constitutional provision,
which gives one-half the revenue from
the sale Of swamp lands to the state
school fund, and the other to the
state institutions fund. This sounds
very we'll. but it has resulted in
most unbusiness-like policy. The
swamp lands are valuable heritage,
and properly administered would bring
millions Of dollars into the funds
named. However, it takes capital to
develop them, and the state has been
short-sighted and niggardly in this re-
spect. If few years ago the legisla-
ture had started work in the northern
tier Of Minnesota counties, and spent
few hundred thousand dollars in the
building of roads and draining Of
swamps, there would. have been splen-
did tracts of rich land by this time to
offer homeseekers. The state could
have diverted large share of the
great migration northwestward to
these fertile reclaimed lands, and
could have realized handsomely on the
| investment
This can still be done. There are
still thousands seeking for new homes,
who would pay the state good prices
for reclaimed lands, on the ffty-year
contract system. The agitation from
the far northern counties ought to be
heard by the next legislature. The
great areas of undeveloped land in st.
Louis, Itasca and Beltrami counties
will some day be rich and populous.
The sooner this is realized the better
for the state at large.
To drain these lands and intersect
them with substantial roads will take
some large appropriations from the
revenue fund. This money cannot &c
back into the same fund, because the
swamp lands can only be sold for the
benefit of the schools and the state
institutions. That is only taking money
from one pocket and putting it in an.
other, and the rapid development o.
. the great northern swamp is more
than a question of state finances. I

To the Editor of The Journal
In recent editorial you call attention
to the proposed amendment to our con-
stitution doing away with the necessity Of
Indictment by a grand jury in prosecu-
tions for crime.
Up to 1870 the constitution Of Wiscon-
sin was, in the particular mentioned, the
same as is ours today. Then it was
amended in exactly the manner in which
it is proposed to amend ours The next
session Of the legislature provided for the
bringing to trial of persons charged with
crime by information of the district at
torney of the county in which the crime
was alleged to have been committed. 1t
provided also that grand jurors shall not
be summoned to attend the sittings Of
any court unless the judge thereof shall
make, and file with the clerk an order in
writing directing sucn jury to be sum-
moned.'' The provisions Of law as to the
qualifications Of grand jurors and the
manner of drawing them remained as
before. The laws. too as to preliminary
examinations before magistrates and hold
ing to bail, were unchanged. Justice has
been better administered and cheaper un-
der the new system than under the old.
Since the change in her constitution
dered grand juries summoned; the one
lately examining municipal boodling in
Milwa ukee being the most conspicuous in
stance.

authority have marked the federal
administration of the district, 1t must
be conceded that for the most part
such government as the present sys-
tenn affords has been reasonably eff
cient. Nevertheless, the people Of
Alaska, nearly all Of whom were form
erly residents Of the states, are thoroly
familiar with the forms of self-gov-
ernment. thoroly capable of exercising
such government, and are naturally
eager for its enjoyment. Serious OBJ
stacles in the way Of effective local
government are the lack of means of
transportation and communication be-
tween the remote and scattered centers
of population. These conditions are
improving in some respects thru the
construction of telegraph lines, and
the building Of railroads and wagon
roads will undoubtedly in the near
future make more practicable the ad-
ministration of home affairs by a
home government.
