A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio says:
The federal grand jury late yesterday after
noon reported two additional indictments

her operations through the closed Citizens
National Bank of Oberln.
A. B. Spear, cashier of the Oberlin bank,

plying $4,000 Of the banks money on Au-
gust "a, 1903; also issuing two drafts on the

in all of said offenses
Another indictment charges Mrs. Cassie
L. Chadwick, alias Madame Devere," with
conspiring with C. T. Beckwith, president,
and A. B. Spear, cashier of the Citizens
National Bank of Oberlin to commit Of
lenses against the United States. This re-
fers to the bank officials certifying checks
drawn by Mrs. Chadwick, when, 1t Is al
legged, she had no funds on deposit
There are now seven indictments against
Mrs. Chadwick in the United States dis
trict court. There are also three in the
state court, making ten indictments in all

so fundamental that we cannot refrain
from constant attention to them, viz, buy
ing land discarding one-room cabins diver
styling crops, giving increased attention to
stock, poultry and fruit raising, avoiding
crop mortgages and useless expenditures
and starting bank accounts.
Value of the Public Schools.
4. While representatives of the race
should be educated in industrial schools.
colleges and professional institutions, we
must remember that 1t is the public schools
on which the masses are dependent. We be-
neve, also, that our young people should be
tsught the fundamental industries-trades,
agriculture and household economy, regard
less OF the character of their mental tram
ing. While the schools in the cities and
anger towns are reasonably good, those IN
the country are generally poor, being with
out schoolhouses or we'll trained teachers;
are taught four or five months In the year,
receiving in many cases a sum per capita
pathetically inadequate.
In Touch With School Officers.
8. To remedy this we must keep in close
touch with the school officers, pay the as
sessed poll taxes, build schoolhouses. and
lengthen the school terms.
6. A united effort should be made to re-
duce the number of idlers and Migrants,
especially in the cities. We must make
our labor more reliable. The moral ana
religious standards must be kept high ana
inf1exible by putting premium on right Nv
Ing and condemning wrong living; the con-
slant cultivation of pride of race is an ele-
meht which we should not overlook in the
training of our children. We believe the
forbearance and hard work will bring US
success.

Increased Property Holdings.

The increased amount of property which
we are holding and paying taxes upon
shows that we are not becoming discour-
aged or disheartened as a race, but that
we have confidence in ourselves and the
future.

Ignorance than intelligence in 1t. One

norance affecting his neighbors. No COM

six or seven months, with hrst-cLass

It is an encouraging and noteworthy fact
that the property holding, intelligent and
educated classes of our people rarely are
guilty of crime or charged with crime, and
II Is equally encouraging to note that as
intelligence increases immortality decreases
We should be very careful in every COM
munity to draw the line between the good
and the bad, the vicious and the Virtuous.
and we should demand the very strictest
and highest standards of living on the part
of orr leaders.

Pride of Race.
Finally, we should not fail to c
ide Of race We should let tn
low that we are proud Of belongin

Finally, we should not fail to cultivate
pride of race. We should let the world
know that we are proud of belonging to the
negro race that we count it no more dis
grace to be classed as a negro than we
would to be classed member of any
other race. We should teach our children
to have faith in the race to which they be-
long and have love and respect for It, and
above all things to have faith in Its future.
No race that does not believe in itself and
respect itself can expect to command the
confidence of others
Neither should we omit any opportunity
to cultivate the friendship of the man who
is next door neighbor, whatever his
color race. In all the real things of life
1t is our neighbor who can be of the most
service to in our efforts to achieve the
better things of life.

munity: church collections for the school
The discussions have been participated in
by many of the delegates and many i'm
portant facts deducted. At the close Of the
session the following declarations were
adopted:
Declarations Adopted.
1. We have much to be thankful for.
The negro in forty years has saved more
than $500, 100000 worth of property In
twelve southern states he owns 1882
farms. By taxation, personal effort and
philanthropic help increasingly large
number of public and private schools are in
session several months each year. He has
organized and supports 2S0O0 churches
There is no evidence that education in
creases crime. These facts indicate our
possibilities.
Negro Uplift.
The almost total disappearance of
lynching during the last four months, due
largely to the cooperation of the races in
creating public sentiment in favor Of law
and order. is especial reason for gratitude.
3. There are certain elements of progress

complished by this organization with its
numerous ramifcations, should convince us
that the policy for the race to pursue is to
continue it's course of seeking quietly pa
tiently and courageously after the essen
tails of life. We should more and more
accustom ourselves to be unspoiled by
praise or discouraged by blame,
Solving Perplexing Problems.
One definite success in given direction
will often go farther in the solution of per
picking problems than all the orations and
glittering generalities that can be summon
ed to plead our cause. In the last analysis
the world judges q race by its ability to
show definite results of progress. by its
ability to achieve the highest usefulness.
With such evidences of progress always
present no untoward influence can perma-
nently hold a people back; without such
evidence no amount of artificial stimulation
can push people permanently forward.
Material possessions should not be sought
as an end but as means to help US for
ward toward high moral and religious liv-
ing When a race owns land and houses
and has bank account, these possessions
indicate that that race has learned to make
sacrifices to do without today that 1t may
possess tomorrow; has learned to look
ahead and plan for the future. When
man becomes the owner of a piece of prop
erty and a taxpayer in his community, as
a rule there comes to him added self-respect
and added confidence from his neigh

THE MARCH SMART SET.

The Smart Set has fairly out done itself in the March number, which marks the beginning of the sixth year of it's existence. The complete novel is "The Prin- cess Elopes," by Harold Mac Grath, an author whose immense popularity is due to the fact that he is a born story-teller. MT. MacGrath is at his very best in this charming tale of a European princess and young American medical student. Itis delight full blending of romance and deli cate humor, touched everywhere with the delft hand of an author who has mastered his craft. Nothing better of it's kind has appeared in a magazine in many a month.
 One of the best stories in the magazine is "A Venial Offense, :" by Norvell Harrison. In marked contrast to it's humor is the pow erful and dramatic motive of Be- atrix Demarest Lloyd's "A Man ITnlearned. William Hamilton Osborne's sThe Transfer of Thorneycroft" is a strikingly clever and satirical story of a phase of smart society, and the Transit of Soul,' by Frances Aymer Matthews, is so strange and unusual that it defies classi- fication.
 If The Smart Set maintains the standard of this number even approximately for the coming twelve months, the future sue cess of the magazine will be sure as it's past.
