President Roosevelt on the Race Problem.

In the first place, it is true of the colored
man, as it is true of the white man. that i'll the
long run his fate must depend far more upon his
own effort than upon the efforts of any outside
friend. Every vicious, venal or ignorant colored
man is an even greater foe to his than
to the community as whole. The colored mans
self-respect entities him to do that share in the
political work of the country which is warranted
by his individual ability and integrity and the po-
sition he has won for himself. But the prime
requisite of the race is moral and industrial up
lifting.
Laziness and shiftlessness, these, and above all,
vice and criminality of every kind, are evils
more potent for harm to the black race than all
acts of oppression of white men put together.
The colored man who fails to condemn crime in
another coored man, who fails to cooperate in all
lawful ways in bringing colored criminals to
JUSTICE is the worst enemy of his own people,
we'll as an enemy to all the people. Law-abiding
black men should, for the sake of their race, be
foremost in relentless and unceasing warfare
against law-breaking black men. If the stand
ards of private morality and industrial efficiency
can be raised high enough among the black race,
then it's future on this continent is secure. The
stability and purity of the home is vital to the
of every
In the next place the white man, who, if only he
is wiling can help the colored more than all
other white men put together, is the white
who is his neighbor, North South.-From

den under date of Thursdayi "Uneasily sleeps
Mukden tonight. In the main street lamps
burn dimly. Along dark roads in heavy dust are
marching columns. The cool night is full of the
low rustic of movement. Near the station, in
overhlled hospitals heard low groans. The
wounded arrive in never-ceasing stream of carts
and another stream of ambulances moves north
ward, for the place must be cleared for to-day's
victims. The eternal pines whisper above the
TOmbs of Chinese Emperors. In the fields watch
fires are burning. The sky is lighted with the
glare of burning stores and evacuated villages"
and then the correspondent goes on to tell of the
wearied forces gathering for further fighting with
the coming of dawn-men footsore and weak for
want of food and water and rest. For forty-eight
hours the Japanese had not eaten.
And here again is picturesque incident from
Wednesdays fighting: "On Wednesday, when
the Russians took Ushuntun, few dozen Japan
clung to the thick-walled temple and refused
all overtures to surrender. Cannon were brought
up and preached the walls but the daredevil
courage of the defenders continued under fire;
and finally, when the defense was hopeless, they
blew themselves skyward with the ruins of the
temple. One survivor rather than surrender,
threw himself into stonerimmed well and per-
ished. And yet the rank and file and inferior
leaders, stern in their sense of duty, are as
sparing of themselves as of the men whom they
lead to death"

Away Down Home.

II will not be long before they hear
The bull-bat the hill,
And in the valley through the dusk
The pastoral whirpoorwill.
A few more friendly suns will call
The bluets through the loan,
The buttercups and dafodils,
Away down home.
'Knee-deepw from reedy places
Will sing the river frogs.
Terrapins will sun themselves
On all the jutting logs.
The anglers cautious oar will leave
A trail of drifting foam
Along the shady currents
Away down home.
The mockingbird will feel again
The glory of his wings
And wanton through the balmy air
And sunshine while he sings.
With a new cadence in his call
The glint-wing'd crow will roam
From field to newly furrowed field,
Away down home.
When the dogwood blossoms mingle
With the naples modest red,
And the sweet arbutus wakes at last
From out her fragrant bed,
IT would not seem strange at all to meet
A dryad or a gnome
Or Pan or Psyche in the woods
Away down home.
Oh, come with me, thou weary heart!
Forget thy human ills,
Since God has come to walk among
His valleys and His hills.
The mart will never miss thee
Nor the scholars dusty tome,
And the mother waits to bless thee
Away down home.

The Situation as We Go to Press.

The situation as The Progressive Farmer goes
to press (Monday, 13th), has not materially
changed since the foregoing review written
Friday afternoon. kuropatkin. with the
nants of his defeated army, is showing mastery
skill III that form of military manoeuvre for which
he is famous -retreating Sixty thousand of his
men have been killed or wounded; 10000 more
prisoners; fourth of his artillery has been cap
tured Still his forces not panic-stricken, and
the retreat is orderly even in the face of the
murderous attacks by japanese forces along the
line. Should General Kamamura attack him at
Tie Pass, however, the Russian defeat would be
complete; Kuropatkin would be compelled to
render.
Later dispatches indicate that the fighting has
been even more colossal scale than at
first reported. The joint losses are estimated
at 100000 Our greatest battles of the Civil War,
the most terrible conflicts of Napoleon's armies,
have no bloodier record than this.
Outside of Russia the general opinion seems to
be that peace must follow this crushing blow to
Russian strength-although the Cars chief ad-
visers profess to believe that reinforcements will
be called for and the vigorously prOsecut-
ed ever.
Since the above was in type, St. Petersburg
dispatch says Gen. kuropatkin takes all the
blame for the great defeat, and has sent in his
resignation.
