Education by Sexes.

Three years ago The Observer made
n comparison OF the number OF boys
and girls .'sraduating" in town and
city graded schools, the number of
girls then being far in excess of the
boys. Noticing the newspaper reports
of school ''commencements'' this
spring, we find that the proportion is
about the same as it was three years
ago. The following instances are rep
resentative of the condition that pre-
wills throughout the State:

Major Edgar B. Tolman, recently
Corporation Counsel for the City OF
Chicago, apd now special counsel in
the traction litigation, is one Of the
leading lawyers Of the Chicago bar.
The important work that he has been
engaged in since his appointment as
Corporation Counsel by Mayor Harri-
son, two years ago, has brought him
into such prominence that he needs
no introduction to the voters Of this
City.
Major Tolman was born September
5, 1859, and became a resident Of the
City Of Chicago in 1868. He was edu-
Gated in the public schools Of this
City and at the Chicago University,
from which he graduated In 1880. He
studied law at the Union College OF
Law, graduating in 1882, and later be-
came a member Of the frm Of Dooiit'
tie & Mickey, the senior member be-
ing a former United States Senator
from Wisconsin.
In 1887 he enlisted In the First
Regiment Of Infantry, was promoted
to the rank Of major In 1898, and at
the breaking out Of hostilities in the
spanish-American War, went with his
regiment to Cuba. The part played by
the First Regiment on Cuban soil L
familiar to all Chicagoans and especial
ly to the Colored regiment which land
ed at Santiago, the day their white
brothers IN arms left for home. At the
close Of the War Major Tolman return

ECHOES OF THE NATIONAL 6AP-
list CONVENTION.

The National Baptist Convention.
concluded its labors Monday morning,
and a reception was rendered its
deiegaes at Olivet Baptist church,
on the same evening.
The leaders Of the convention
were very short sighted in some i'm
portant things in connection with It,
and have gone on record as being
totally Indifferent as to the precon-
ceived and bigoted opinions or racial
ideas that some white men entertain,
respecting the status Of the Negro,
whom they invited to address the
convention.
For example, Rev. Johnston Myers.
was selected tn deliver the welcome
address on behalf Of the white Baptist
churches Of this city. It will be re-
membered, that when Rev. Myers
came to this city in 1893 to proclaim
the word Of his God he stood
up in his pulpit the first Sun
day he occupied It, in Emanuel
Baptist church and exclaimed to the
world that, He did not want any
Negro Baptist to Join nor to attend
services in his church that God never
intended for the white and black
Baptist to associate together In any
way, and that they will no mingle to-
gether in Heaevn."
Yet Rev. Myers entertaining such
hatred and expressing such senti-
ments was selected, to welcome the
delegates on behalf Of the white Bap-
list churches.
No doubt when he concluded speak
ing and left the church he was
more impressed with this one idea.
"The more a white man preacher or
Iayman viIifes and ISLANDERS the Ne
gro, the more highly he is appreciated
by him"
At the close Of the convention, its
leaders, made themselves the laugh
ing stock Of the civilized world, they
appointed a committee consisting OF
Rev. e. c. Morris, Booker T. Wash
figton, Rev. e. w. D. Isaac, R. H.
Boyd, and L. G. Jordan, to visit Pre-
sident Roosevelt and request him and
congress to join with the 100000
Negro Baptist Of the United States
In protesting against the barbarism
praticed by the Belgium Govern
ment on the Negroes in Congo Free
State, Africa.
Such proceedings was the height Of
folly or the limit AS far as we have
been able to ascertain; the leaders Of
the convention and the delegates in
general failed to go on public record
against the numerous wrongs and in
Justice which the Negro Is subjected
to in this country, and no appeal was
issued by them to the President Of
the United States urging him to as
sist them to tighten the burdens Of
the Negro in race prejudiced Ameri-
ca; and yet they want him to rush
over to Africa and compel the Bel
GUM government to deal more justly
with the native black man.
Whenever the Negro Baptists and
the President Of the United States,
abolishes the "Jim Crow" car law.
restores the ballot to the Negro. and
prevent the white Christians from
burning him at the stake, for their
amusement, then It will be time
enougk.to move on to Africa.

He has the qualifications Of the ideal

ing cclored men into Chicago to take
the place Of striking workmen, he die
not allow himself to be carried away
by the passion and prejudice Of the
hour. and he did not seize the oppor
tunity to play to the mob In the
streets, as others have done. His re
ply to the Council was memorable
'In the State Of Illinois," he said
there is no possible legal distinction
to be drawn between colored and
white persons; we have here one Law

man be elected to the bench, what
better guaranty Of fair play could

Rev. A. ]. Carey pastor Of Bethel
church 30th and Dearborn streets
who has been working very hard the
past year, to extract 1t from its fin
ancial difficulties and by his business
like methods, has succeeded in reduc-
ing its Indebtedness to less than
$4,000, has openly declared himself in
favor Of the election Of William A.
Doyle to succeed Mayor Edward F.
Dunno as Judge OF the Circuit
Court.
Rev. Carey is firmly OF the opinion
that owing to the fine gentlemanly
qualities which Mr.. Doyle possesses,
and his well trained legal ability and
his absolute freedom from race pre-
judice, that no Colored man in Cook
County, can afford to vote against
him and it is his solemn duty to
work for his election as he represents
the highest type Of men that all good
citizens regardless Of their color or
nationality should assist to elevate
to the bench so that they can ad-
Indicate litigation fair and inpartially.
The Rev. gentleman is bitterly op-
posed to the reelection Of Judge
Joseph z. Gary who was very arbi-
trary when he found he would have
to sit In judgement in a law suit
which involved Quinn Chapel, and he
entered up judgement against 1t for
$4,000, without notifying its Attor-
neys or those interested in the suit
and Judge Gary plainly let 1t be
known that he had no use nor time
to waste in settling suits for Negro
churches, and as he was so naughty
and overbearing in his conduct and
as he is more than old enough to
get OF the bench and retire in favor
of a younger and more active Judge.
Rev. Clrey will record his vote
against him.
