Whisky Drinking.

The best way to fight whisky is
to assist in ridding the world of
the fool notion that whisky drink
ing is smart" There never was
IA bigger fool trick than paying
your hard earned money for that
which Injuries you physically and
morally, yet thousands of men
particularly young men-think
whisky drinking is smart" Kill
that silly notion, and whisky is
doomed, because it never once did
good. and does harm millions of
times every day. Men who dis
like whisky. drink it occasionally
because they somehow think it is
smart" and manly" Seven
tenths of the intoxicants are con-
sulned by men who don't care for
them; who order wine at dinner
because they think it the proper
thing" The old sots will soon kill
themselves, and they don't amount
to much, anyway; but the millions
of good and useful fellows who
krink when they do not want it,
because of custom; they are worth
saving. And the best way to save
them is to assist in getting rid of
the fool notion that whisky drink
ing is "smart. ."-Atchison (Kcns.) J

Says the Savannah, Ga, Press:
1.-The est way to help the Negro,
to make him satisfied with his con-
ditions and attached to the govern
ment, is to keep the ballot in his
hand. After forty years of prepa-
ration it would be a travesty to
take it away from him now. The
National government would not
stand for it, and the Southern peo-
pie would find themselves more
isolated than ever if such thing
were attempted, SO far as Geor-
gia is concerned there is no serious
idea of DISTINGUISHING the Negro,
nor do any considerable number of
the people clamor for repeal of
the amendments"

A Word to the twentieth Century
Negro by Prof. Kelly Miller, Professor of Mathematics of
Howard University Washington, D. c., In
Voice of the Negro.

The salvation of any cvershad-
owed race will depend upon what
they are rather than what they do,
upon character more than enter
prise, upon endurance rather en-
deavor. For the Negro race [ re-
gard the development of the NOR
al nature as fundamental and su-
preme. My advice to the Negro
would be:
l. Follow virtue, act righteously,
observe the ten commandments,
obey the law of the land and of the
community where you live. Moth
ing but robust moral integrity can
preserve a weak race in contact
with strong one. The value of
virtue is absolute. Honesty, truth
fulness, fidelity, chastity and So
briefly can never fail of universal
recognition and reward. They are
worth just as much to the poor, to
the black as to the white. We
need never despair of the destiny
of any people whose feet are ten
oned and mortised in the granite
foundation of truth and righteous
ness. On the other hand, if they
forget the moral element, however
snowy may be their gifts and at
tainments, we have only to put
ears to the ground to hear 1.-The
mufHed drum of fate, beating their
funeral marches to the grave"
2. Exemplify the Christian re-
ligion. God has endowed you
with meekness, humility and for
giveness of spirit. Are you not
the most striking illustration of
that beautitude with promise
BLESSED are the meek for they
shall inherite the earth?" You
are here, in this western hemis-
phere, some twenty million strong,
and are sure to inherit all that
Aryan civilization contains. The
red Indian struck back, but he
strikes no more. He has been dis
patched to the 'Island of the
Blessed" where all feeble race will
speedily go who, like Jobs wife,
dare curse the white God and die.
Those that suffer and are over
borne have always moral and
spiritual advantage over their
naughty oppressors. Reforms
come from those who suffer and
feel the need, of them. Who
knows but that you have been
placed here to bring an arrogant
world back to the simple teachings
of the Son of God? The Anglo
Saxon is pitiably deficient in es-
sential Christian graces. He nev-
er turns the other cheek except as
a maneuver to smite the finishing
blow. Humanity and lowliness of
spirit are alien TO his nature. His
god is power-his religion is gain.
Did not your illiterate forbears,
with clear spiritual discernment,
say to the rapacious white lord of
The Colorado statesman., 1905-01-14

The present owner of the jeff
erson Davis plantation in Mississ-
ippi is Isaiah f. Montgomery,
colored man. He was bright
youth and Joseph Davis brother
of Jefferson Davis, owned him.
Mr.. Davis attracted by the boys
sprightliness and good qualities,
had him educated, and he was a
famous pet on the plantation. He
was always respectful grateful and
obedient as bondsman. He was
faithful to the persons and inter
ests of the Davis family during
the war and after it. He was per-
mitted to purchase the old planta-
ton and nobody objected. He
has the esteem of all Mississippi
ians, and is now worth about 5000,
600. Isaiah Montgomery is re-
spected in Mississippi, and deserves
to be. He is Il rare character. and
the coming generations of his
race might learn valuable lessons
from his virtues, his patience and
good sense.-Augusta Chronicle.

creation, You may have all the
world, but give ME Jusus?" The
white man is bound to get the
world, whether you consent or not.
But he has no monopoly of spirit
ual gifts. The Negro is more apt
to win in the race that is set be-
fore him by following the precepts
of Jesus than by joining the great
white throng that bows down and
worships at the shrine of the AL
mighty Dollar.
3. Cultivate self respect. You
should never accept the low esti-
mate and spiteful treatment that
evil men bestow upon you as a just
measure of your inherent worth.
You are as sheep among wolves.
Do not try conclusions with the
wolf, but at the same time do not
let him overawc and cover your
spirit The spirit in modern civil
lization would ever and anon i'm
press the Negro with IA sense of
his inferiority. Be not so i'm
pressed. Those who are really
superior are least likely to make
obtrusive display of their advan-
tage. Present a manly attitude
amid brutal and outrageous dis
play of power. Preserve that in
ner freedom which ridicule, in
suit and cruel rebuff cannot reach.
Do not be carried away by a swag-
gering and boastful optimism that
is born of ignorance and some
times, [ fear, fostered by crafty
design to deceive and mislead the
simple. 1t is folly to initiate the
savage who, drunk With the war
dance, generously faces modern
artillery with his little bow and
arrow. The development of ten
centuries is more than that of for
ty years. The Negro belongs to a
backward or belated race. If the
Negro race is in its childhood, as
DIR. Washington would say, the
white race may be in its dotage.
The backward class has not yet
gained concrete equality of power.
On the other hand, eschew that
wailful, insane pessimism despised
by God and man. The pessimist
has never advanced this world one
iota in the scale of progress. San
ity is the middle ground between
evaultant optimism, begotten of
cowardice and fear. Protest in
manly fashion against outrage and
wrong. You may be compelled to
receive political and civic unrigh-
teousness, but do not accept it
with complaisant acquiesence.
The sufferer owes it to the oppres-
or, as well as to himself. to pro-
test against oppression. 1t is due
the wrong-doer to know that his
deeds are iniquitous.
Cultivate at least a negative race
pride. Do not despise your own
race and color. Is there any vir-

tue in white, black or yellow
cuticle? They are all alike in the
dark. 1t makes no difference
when we are asleep Is know
ledge, culture, or spiritual seren-
ity an attribute of skin or of the
soul? In what single respect is
the white race perfect? Have not
the greatest evil-doers of the hu-
man race been of that color? To
be like somebody else is the low
ambition of little soul. A noble
nature strives to become its best
self. and to contribute to the sum
total of human good whatever of
worth with which it may be en-
dowed. The world adors Moses
and Homer and Shakespeare, OBJ
livious of tee accident of race and
color, but because of the human
soul touched with divine fire.
When approached as to ''social
equality say to the white inter
locntor, II do not think that any
colored man will dine at your table
without an invitation. and as he
thinks you would probably spurn
an invitation from him, he is not
likely to extend it.
Be industrious. Buy lands and
houses and accumulate material
goods. Pool your savings and
start banks and stores and factor
les SO as to give colored boys and
girls an opportunity in the highest
lines of work. If your work is of
an humble grade, perforum it with
all the skill and character at your
command. The material standard
ofcivilization is advancing. Teach
your children to acquire skill and
deftness. in or out of school, in
whatever line of work their hands
find to do, Cultivate your child
rem. 1t should be disgrace to
any parent to have his child grow
up in ignorance. But do not put
your trust in mammon. Mere
money has never righted a wrong
in all human history. The love of
money is the root, and not the
remedy of evil. 5. Covet the best
gifts. Encourage talent and gen
ius to expand and eploit itself.
Any race will be measured in
the long run by the illustri-
Gus names it has produced
and not by its carpenters and
bricklayers. Every boy should
seek the highest line of service
that his faculties and opportunities
can command. You need not fear
plethora of philosophers; there
never was dearth of fools Re-
probate that cheap philosophy
which would keep Frederick
Douglas in the shipyard, J. c..
Price on the farm, Paul Laurance
Dunbar at the elevator ropes, and
Booker Z. Washington in the
coal mires. The mere acquisition
OF bread and butter has never been
the aspiration of any people who
have done anything worth while

PERFUMES A NECESSITY
An Odorous Whit Revives faded Town
te Folk s-5

People are beginning to find out that
scent is almost d necessity to those
whose nerves are wearied and strained
by the high pressure which is SO gen
orally felt by town jewellers. Everyone
knows how refreshing it is when one
feels jaded, say after a busy afternoon
shopping, to battle face and hands in
eau de cologne and water or toilette
vinegar and water, and how revivlng
it is to moisten a handkerchief with
the ,t,nt and then inhale it's sweetness.
The mic properties Of the perfume
overcome the incipient headache, lassi-
tude is vanquished, and again one
feels as fresh as daisy and wo1l'-
! ders what one would do if scent was not
to be had. Certainly perfumes are the
greatest blessing sometimes to jaded
4 town folk, and especially to brain work
ers, who have to lead somewhat seden-
tary lives. This fact is recognized by
employers Of labor on the continent,
and accordingly many Of them provide
easy chairs in the sitting rooms set
4 apart for their shop assistants. Of late
years perfumes have become so much
cheaper than formerly, that nowadays
"a bottle Of her favorite scert is a little
comfort which is quite within the means
