EVER A PROBLEM.

Savoyard. in Washington Post.
 The speech of President Roosevelt on the race question at the Lincoln dinner of the Republican Club of New York last Monday was excellent In temper and admirable in expression. It was all address to the South, and no South ern man can find fault with 1t. It was but an elaboration of what MT. Cleve- land remarked when discussing the same question, that those next the weight must lift 1t. The President would have the negro honest, frugal,
 industrious, virtuous, and so say we all.
 But the President does not venture to say what shall he done with the ne- gro when he is all these things and capitalist in the bargain. When he has educated and elevated himself, what then?
 Go with me to the black belt of Mis- sissippi where the silver Noxuba winds its way to the turbulent Tom bigbee. and there is land as fair as that Byron describes in the Bride of Abydos." There the sweet violet is now in bloom and lends its fragrance, an added charm, to lovers dreams.
 There the music of the song bird is now hamburger of the blooming rose
 that will come with Easter morn. There is white population as proud as We're de We're, and a black population with no tradition that is not superstition and no history that Is not debasement Suppose one of those blacks-an oc- toroon, if you please--should develop genius for the law. Suppose as an ad- vocate he should become more than Err
 skine and Pinckney combined, and 1t was universally conceded that on the bench his judgments would be as learn ed as Francis Bacon's and as just as
 Matthew Hales. Suppose all these
 were true. The veriest Dogberry of that community would be preferred over that man for judge. And why? There is but one reason in the world. A negro on the bench means social equality and miscegenation.
 There is the skeelton in the closet, and if Theodore Roosevelt were ten thousand times the statesman Lincoln was he could not seal that closet so as to hide that skeleton from the argus eyes of civilization. Truth ever had, and ever will have, It's gan. This phase of the race question cannot be ignored, and when the negro becomes all the President characterizes as so desirable learned, honest. frugal. diligent, wealthy-then~ the real race problem will have just begun. Everybody is disposed to ignore what he finds disa- greeable, and that is why so many peo- pie believe the race problem will be settled as soon as the negro goes to work accumulates, saves, gets an ed- ucation, and ceases to supply more than fair share of the criminal class.

about the care of the Italian emigrants

eral American bishops the pope has
learned that need EXISTS in America
for Italian priests able to speak the dia.
lect of the Sicilians, who emigrate to
the states by thousands every year. A
majority of them cannot understand
even the Italian language, being un.
educated, and because of this cannot
receive religious instructions or obey
the precepts of the church by going to

The pope mas ordered the new arch
bishop of Palermo to establish a sem
mary for the training of native priests
who shall dedicate themselves for work
among their countrymen in the United
States. The college has just been
opened and the pupils are to make a
special study of the English language
so that when the time comes for them
to take IN work in America they will
not labor under a disadvantage which
has proved fatal to the work of many
of the Italian clergy who emigrated to
America.
Strong opposition seems to have de

italian government Even his trst
step in that direction, the encycllcal

It is undisputed that, regardless O.

this story has been localized in south
eastern Missouri the real event from
which Mr.. Hay secured his material,
happened In the country southeast OF
New Virginia, many years ago. The
family of Van Scoy has been promin-

years. The community is largely
made up of people who have lived
there from time immemorial, coming
mostly from West Virginia and North
Carolina 1t is only of comparative
late years that there has been a rail-
road through the country. One winter

forth from the high school to win the
honors that have come to Frau Schoen-
berg, but she returns home unspoiled
and talks of her work and the many
triumphs that have come to her in the
court theatres of Germany with
charming simplicity.
Frau Schoenberg was last in Denver
five years ago, when she sang in the
cathedral, and her friends had an op.
portunity to hear her fresh from her
studies abroad. Since then she has
filled a three years engagement at
the Schwerin court theatre and it was
shortly after her return there that the
announcement of her engagement and
marriage came back to Denver.
Herr Schoenberg is a civil engineer
and he is winning fame and laurels in
his profession while his wife has
made a place for herself among the
great singers of Europe. She Is &C
companied by her oldest little girl 8
years of age, and small daughter OF
IS months was left in care of her pa
ternal grandmother. Frau Schoen
berg is with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs

toire.

half mile further on, the overturned
wagon in deep gully with the team
attached, but no boy. By this time Van
Scoy was about wild, fearing the boy
might have been carried away by the
wolves that infested the country at
that time and even until now. ARGUS.
ing all the neighbors he hurried home
hoping against hope that the boy
might have found his way there. II
was turning cold and a mist was turn.
ing to fine driving snow. Every
available dry stick was utilized for
torches and still not enough. AS the
party approached an old sheep shed.
one of the farmers, jeff Thompson,
tried the door to get in to find some
dry material for torches but the door
stubbornly refused to yield as the
sheep were crowded against it..
Thompson climbed to the roof and
tore up a few boards in order to get
down into the building and by the aid
of his Pickering torch peered down in
to the darkness What Thompson said
after that did not look well in print,
but the search was ended, for down
there, cuddled among the sheep was
the little fellow safe and sound. It
is supposed that when he entered the
shed the sheep became frightened and
crowded to the front Of the building,
completely barring the door. A Meth
odist preacher who was then stationed
at New Virginia, was later moved to
Warsaw, ILL.,, and one night related the
incident in a sermon as an instance
of the all-seeing and all-caring Provi.
dence of God. John Hay was in the
audience and after the service asked
| the preacher for the details and tha~
is how Marcus Van Scoy became the
