Hitting the Nail on the Head.

People often justify themselves in not
paying for and reading The Advocate
on the ground that paying for the daily
paper is about all they can afford, and
that they must have that to get the
news. Is the excuse good? How much
real news of real" interest to self
respecting Negro does one ever come
across in a daily newspaper? Look this
question squarely in the teeth and an
swer it honestly. Is it not more than
half of what is palmed off on us as
news" only wild guesses and surmises
while the other half is trimmed. cut and
oolored so that it looks like an elephant:
The fact is. the reason why the average
Negro is such a big fool and good for
nothing is because about all he ever
reads and puts faith in is a lying daily
newspaper.-The Advocate, Portland.

completion Of this frieze. These gen.

the most pertinent one that has YET
been made Is that the whole frieze be
eliminated and the, caricatures stuck
I'D on the wall Of the rotunda be wiped
out and some really artistic decoration
be substituted.
No one seems to know exactly who
initiated the idea Of putting the fresco

important scenes In the history Of the
new world, but the idea was adopted
and Brumidi, an Italian artist, was
given the contract. He executed" sew

portant events down to PENIS treaty

taken up by Costaggini, another Ita-
Ian, who brought the events down to
the discovery Of gold In California
This left two panels remaining to CON-
plete the circle, and congress has never
agreed as to subjects to I'LL this space.
The figures in this fresco appear
ridiculous as seen from the floor of the
rotunda. They are suggestive Of old
time wood cuts or the rudely executed
pictures in the Farmers Almanac"
There are impossible horses and still
more impossible men in the tumble of
figures. They do not appeal to the
artistic sepse Of anyone and without a
guidebook the subjects can only be
guessed at. The fresco has cost a
pretty sum, and the only objection TO
wiping the whole picture out is the
fact that 1t has cost money. In con-
trast with the fine OIL paintings that
decorate the walls of the rotunda near
the floor this fresco is very amusing.

In arms against this innovation. For
years that body has been authorizing
big public improvements and the cree
ton of splendid governmental build
ings with the object of identifying
Washington and eventually making 1t
the finest seat Of government In the
world.
Mr.. Babcock, Of Wisconsin, who Is
chairman Of the house committee on
the District Of Columbia, is very indig-
nant at the encroachment Of the big
steel plant upon the exclusive capital
city. Those business men and real
estate men who are inviting manufac-
turing plants here are making q great
mistake" says Mr.. Babcock. The
theory on which congress has been 30
liberal in public improvements In
Washington has been that the city
would be retained for governmental
purposes and for a residence city. Big
manufacturing establishments will
bring to the District a class Of people
entirely foreign to the citizenship
Washington now has. That will not

In regard to his connection with al
legged violations of the anti-rebate law
by the Santa Fe railroad, of which he
was vice president. President RoOse-
vek called him from this railroad posi-
ton TO be secretary Of the navy be-
cause he had infinite confidence in his
honesty and in his executive ability.
It was not possible that the son Of
that consistent and loyal Democrat, ].
Sterling Morton, could be otherwise
than an honest man. When the suits
were brought against the Santa Fe
there was hue and cry raised against
Mr.. Morton that he was implicated in
the violation of the law. President
Roosevelt did not have his faith in the
secretary the least bit shaken and was
confident that a trial In court would
vindIcate the latter.
This vindication has come through
the decision of a Democratic United
States Judge, and 1t shows Mr.. Morton
to have been misrepresented and sus-
tains his character as q law-abiding
citizen and railroad official. This de-
cision was welcomed in Washington
by people who had known Paul Nor
ton for many years. They regard it as
particularly gratifying at this time
when ne is at the head Of a great in
surance corporation that has been sub
jected to the scathing fires Of legis-
lative investigation. The confidence
the president feels in his old cabinet
officer, 1t is believed, will be reflected
in the minds Of the American people.
and Mr.. Morton's character will do
much towards reestablishing faith in

prises at the capital city which will
mean the DETACHMENT of its beauty and
its destruction as q desirable city of
residence.
The Firth-Sterling Steel company,
that furnishes the greater part Of the
shells and projectiles used IN the navy,
and whose works are now located in
the murky atmosphere OF Pittsburg,
has purchased 80 acres Of land in the
District opposite Washington, and pro-
poses to locate its shell factory there.
The object is to be within easy reach
Of the Indian Head proving grounds Of
the navy department, located some 20
miles down the Potomac. The estab-
lishment of this factory in the District
means the use Of bituminous coal and
consequent clouds Of smoke which are
certain to mar the beauty Of Washing
toms great public buildings and fine
residences.
One Of Washington's greatest charms
as a residence city and as a center
where the wealthy, the literary, the
scientific and artistic elements Of
American society could find the best
atmosphere has been its clear air and,
In winter, its beautiful Italian blue
skies. These natural beauties have
been guarded jealousy by congress,
and stringent laws have been passed
forbidding the emission Of black or
gray soft coal smoke from chimneys,
and President Roosevelt has lent his
great influence toward the enactment
Of these laws and toward their en-
forcement. It has been the purpose to
keep the city clean and spotless.
