1t may sound little startling, but
it is said to be true, says an exchange,
that more young men are learning
trades in the penitentiaries than out
of them, because parents are trying to
make clerks, doctors, lawyers and
even preachers out Of the material in
tended for blacksmiths, carpenters and
other trade of mechanics. The trouble
is that the boys are eager to avoid the
labor of life, and too anxious to fol-
low some calling that will not soil
their hands, and parents are response
bic for this. Boys should be taught
that there is more dignity in manual
labor than in loafing, and more honor
in toiling than in dependence. The
Mississippi farmer boy of today will
find that with the same energy and
push employed on the farm which he
would have to use in profession,
even to make fair success, he will
spend the declining years of his life
in ease and happiness.

Referring to discussions Of the
negro questions in northern news
papers, the Houston Post asserts
mine tenths of the friendship pro-
fessed for the negro in the north is
merest pretense. All of it is strictly
political. Race riots rarely occur in
the south. Law abiding negroes are
never assaulted because their skins
are black or yellow. An honest and
industrious negro is respected and
kindly treated by southern people.
An honest and industrious negro is
not respected or kindly treated by
many northern people. A negro in
the north frequently finds labor as
hazardous as stealing. One Of the
most dangerous phases of the negro
problem is the steadily increasing
drift of the blacks to the north where
they are not wanted. The northern
race riots are merely symptoms. The
real trouble is yet to come. In the
meantime, sensible northern people
and newspapers would do we'll to
cease their lectures to the south and
consider their own race troubles. It
is doubtful if they will do nearly so

sippi, and tho trouble about every
vicious tendency is that it always
goes from bad to worse. Crime
breeds crime; one killing follows
another; and they are following each
other entirely too swiftly for the good
of the law-abiding citizens of this

material demands energetic measures
for correction of this deplorable
menace to the peace and prosperity Of

The first is q man-virulent,

could make a glad country, where he
would welcome enliRhtment, liberty,

Say. what do you call him, talking

on the shoulder and pointing TO the
trumpet.
The old man Obligingly replied that
the instrument was usually called an
ear trumpet, or speaking tube. Then
the Jap asked many questiOns-hOw
the tube was made and where, how
much 1t cost and whether or not it re-
stored the hearing. Then. his curiosity
gratified, lie thanked his informant and
walked on.
