the best Of reason to believe that con-
versations have actually begun be-
tween the representatives of France
and Germany with the view to remov-
ing the Misunderstanding relative to
Morocco. This is not yet announced
here and the oficials do not wish to
give too optimistic an aspect to the
situation when the overtures are at
most In . preliminary stage. How
ever. 1t Is certain that diplomatic
means have been found to bring about
q mutual exchange of views instead
of the mutual recriminations which
heretofore have been going on. This
favorable turn of Affairs appears to
be the direct result Of the more mod
crate attitude Germany has shown
after communicating with Washing
ton. London. Rome. Madrid. St. Peters
burg and Vienna.

Negro Leaders Ought Not
Be Purely Selfish

Barnum, the great Snowman once
said that the American people liked
to be faxed and the truth Of that
statement is certainly evident in this
city. On last Saturday there ap-
peared in this paper an article which
discussed the grievances which the
Negroes of the state and more espec-
tally of this city are giving vent to,
and ending by saying that it was up
to the "leaders" to guide the lost ones
out into the promised land. Few is.
sues of this paper have been more
warmly comm ,nded and il is OF that
we would speak.
There is growing number Of our
people who recognize that we will ad-
vance only by intelligent effort and
all these are ready to assist in i'm
proving matters. But there is still a
great majority who complain and that
is all, They have the faith but not
the works. Let US all hope that they
will progress in works and finally be-
come living stones in the great struc-
ture the race is building.
Unfortunately for the good efforts
of the one class and the good inten-
tions Of the other, there remains a
third class, few in number, but thor
roughly unscrupulous and selfish.
