Black and White.

"The professional and mercantile avenues to success are over crowded; for the present the best chance of suc- cess awaits the intelligent worker at some mechanical trade or on farm; for this man will almost certainly achieve industrial independence. I am pleased, but not in the least surprised to learn that many among the men and women trained at Tuskegee find immediate en- plOyment as leaders and workers among their own people, and that their services are eagerly sought by white people for various kinds of industrial work, the de- mand being much greater than the SUD- ply. President Roosevelt at Tuske- gee, Ala.
 "There never was a time when the nificent opportunities as they have to- day. The old men need them for their help and support. And when fathers and mothers complain how hard it is to find places for their sons I wonder whether it is the fault of the fathers and the mothers in having taken too much care of their sons, or whether the sons have relied too much on the fathers and mothers. Or shall I say that these young men are born blind to, the opportunities that surround them? There is not a business, there is not profession, there is not a pub lie service, that is not on the lookout at every moment for capable and will ing young men to do the work that is waiting to be done "-r Joseph H. ChOate at the Lotus club dinner.

POmItice Cures Pneumonia.

Owing to the prevalence of pneumonia and the great mortality therefrom during winter and spring, several boards of health in Northern New Jersey have been taking measures of protection. The health board of Washington, Warren Co.,, has published remedy which is said to be sure cure for pneumonia, and other health boards are looking into the matter with view of having the tidings spread broadcast for the good of the public. This is the remedy:
 "Take six or ten onions, according to size, and chop fine, put in a large spider over a hot fire, then add the same quan- tity of rye meal and vinegar, enough to form thick paste. Stir thoroughly, letting it simmer five or ten minutes. Then put it ill cotton bag large enough to cover lungs and apply to chest as hot as patient can bear. In about ten min utes apply another, and thus continue by relocating the poultices, and in few hours the patient will be out of danger. |" The Weekly Call.

Massachusetts has better ballot law than Connecticut or New York. New York is not slow to recognize it since the discouraging tumble in the ballots of the recent city election. Massachu- setts has the Australian system in it's essential features. New York has some features of the Australian ballot system but the party columns, under emblems. is entirely foreign to the Australian system. Connecticut has merely 8 secret ballot, but @ party ballot, and in the elections next fall these party ballots will be generously decorated with pink pastors.
 The perfect right of peddling ballots to be voted ill the Connecticut ballot boxes is a menace to perfectly honest elections. It doesn't take a wonderful brain to devise system of pasting in the unimportant nominations to discover whether or no (when the ballots are counted) the goods have been deliver ed." The Massachusetts ballot arranged alphabetically with all the nominations, and not peddled outside the voting booths, we believe works for cleaner elections. The directions are very plain and simple and voter designates his choice by marking an X opposite the name of every candidate he wishes to support.
 Connecticut should improve upon it's system of balloting. Voting machines, if used entirely, would do away with the ballot peddling evil, but there is nc indication that their use will become general throughout the state; so let the agitation to legislate ballot peddling out of existence, go merrily on until the General Assembly take some action in the matter.
