Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation.


Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. 4 woman can freely talk of her
private illness to a woman. thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has to draw from,
it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor. is very foolish
if she does not take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.
If you are i'll. don't hesitate to get
bottle of Lydia Z. Pinkham' Vegetable
Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pink
ham. Lynn. Mass, for special advice.
When a medicine has been successful
in restoring to health so many women,
you cannot well say, without trying it.
i do not believe it will help me"

Washington, d. C.-President
Roosevelt will return to Washing
ton October 2, and by thst time
the wheels of the government will
have begun to go around at a fas-
ter gait than for the last several
months. Should the Cuban COM

that the President will return that

him to get back here on the date
named. Before the Presidents
return all members of the Cabinet

with the blood of the black soldiers
would cry out against any such
course as that. If the black peo-
pile of the country were denied the
right to serve the nation beneath
the flag which has been honored
by their devotion and bravery. the
status of the race in this country
would be servile and miserable in
deed.
There is creditable way out of
the difficulty created by such col
lisions as that at Brownsville.
Work enough for the Negro SOL
dier, when his tour of duty in the
Philippines is done, can be found
in the North, the West, or the re-
mote posts in the Southwest where
conflicts are unlikely. There is
no reason why the Negro troops
should be put where they will
meet with such indignities as Maj.
Penrose has reported at Browns
vile, or where their own sense of
their military Importance, which
may sometimes be exaggerated,
would lead them to offend South
ern standards. They are two good
soldiers to lose. Keep them where
they are most useful.

Higher Educat'n

Seminary, of Atlanta, Georgia.

in the advancement of civilization.
That may be between the plow
handles for some; with a sledge
hammer with others; at the sewing
machine with others; in the pulpit
with others; on the Judges bench
with others; in the sick room with
others with telescope with 9TH
ers, and in the United States Sen
ate with others. Open all doors to
him from blacksmith shop to the
observatory's skyligLt. Say to
him, "The doors are open. Go in
and choose your place, but remem-
Der that the fittiest survive"
In answer to the second we say
that the Negro himself is to de-
termine the place he is to fill.
This constant placing of the Ne
gro by saying that God meant him
to fill such and such a station is a
mixture of audacity and antebell-
um lore. The question of place
is foreign to the discussion of the
principles of education. 'Tis we'll
for those self-deluding wiseacres
to learn that no race can perman-
emily determine the place another
shall occupy in the strength of his
tory. Each race in the "parlia-
ment of man" will finally choose
its place and occupy it. =
The Negro believes in all kinds
of education and he insists that no
barriers be placed in his path to
think the thoughts of the mighty
and to achieve along the lines OF
life according as "God hath dealt
to every man." Give him all the
education he can stand and he will
do the rest.

The story given out that there
is a clash in the office of the Reg
lister of the Treasury has no foun-
dation in fact. Register Vernon
and Assistant Register Adams are
in complete accord The gentle
men were close friends before 60
ing in Office and nothing has oc-
cured to cause the least friction.
Register Vernon, who is an elo-
quent speaker, leaves this week to
campaign for Congressional candi-
dates in the West, and will be gone
several weeks. He said: "The
story of friction in my Office is
false. Mr.. Adams and I are work
ing together in perfect harmony.
Mr.. Adams is a conscientious
worker, and | am glad to have his
valuable assistance" 1t is evil
dent that the person who originat-
ed the clash story is descendant
of Ananias.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-09-29

1t is gratifying to the Negro
that the question has shifted from
the fact to the content of his edu-
cation is now beyond question,
forced here by the concrete evi-
deuces of the day. The discovery
of this truth has been along te-
, dions path contended against at
every foot of the way by moss
back and medieval arguments
that deserve the respect due only
to extreme antiquity without the
adjunct of intelligence.
Does the Negro need the higher
education? The open suspicion
of hostility to this form of educa-
ton for the descendant of Ham
cannot be concealed by its mock
sympathy ard its superficial dis
ingenuousness. There need be no
cavil at this point. First, permit
me to file a caveat. The opponents
to the higher education of the Ne
gro charge that the advocates of
higher education for this recently
liberated plow hand believe in and
urge the giving of college educa-
ton to every field hand on the
plantation. This charge is not
worth the ink it takes to write it,
Not every Negro can master Kant's
Categorical Imperative" but the
] few who can grasp it should be
given the chance to find out what
that master German mind meant
by that abstruse subject.
AS with the white race so with
the black race the leaders of
thought must be broadly learned
in the disciplines of higher educa-
ton. 1t is notably true that there
cannot be carried on the secondary
and industrial schools of this race
without men and women trained
in the colleges and universities as
professors and teachers. Take
from Tuskegee Institute her col
lege-learned professors and her
history becomes blank and his
MANY industries would cease to
exist. The college learned men
and women there make that school.
But the other suggestion in the
question above is one that is re-
pellent to the Negro race, namely,
college education units the Ne
gro for his place. The writer rises
to question of privilege and asks
two question, "What is the Negroes
place? "Who determined his
place?"
In answer to the first question
we say that the Negroes place is
where he can pest serve his God

THE NEGRO SOLDIER

The New York Evening Mail
has this to say of the fighting abil-
ity of the Negro soldier:
picture writings of the ancient
Egyptians prove that from the
earliest ages Of the world the Ne
gro has been good fighter. The
Egyptian kings maintained Negro
legions for their wars, and their
redoubtable bravery was the theme
of many an annalist in that remote
time. At intervals ever since the
Negro has been employed most
successfully as a soldier. In our
Civil war he stepped instantly from
slavery to the status of a military
hero. Port Hudson and Fort
Wagner established his reputation
for desperate valor in battle, and
Las Gussimas, Ell Caney. San
Juan Hill and many we'll. fought
fields have clinched it.
But the Negro soldier in peace
is a somewhat different proposi-
ton, AS regular soldier of the
United States he is inclined to be
assertive of his equality with any
other soldier that lives. When he
is stationed in the North or far
West, his sense of his soldierly
dignity does not collide with any
thing but in the South it some-
times does His uniform and his
honorable military record do not
promote him to any sort of con-
sideration whatever there When
off duty he meets with what he
and his officers regard as indigni-
ties. And sometimes he retaliates,
and there is trouble, as there has
been at Brownsville, Texas.
There are four Negro regiments
in the regular army-the Ninth
and Tenth Cavalry and the Twen.

try They are commanded by
white officers many of whom are
Southern men. They are popular
corps with the officers. The mer
show good dicipline and excellent
general soldierly qualities. There
has sometimes been demand fol-
the abolition of these black regi
ments, on the pretext that they
create race troubles when station
ed in the South. But the historic

This step has been made necessary
because certain agents are going

There is great turmoil in the
public schools Just now. At a re-
cent meeting of the school board
the superintendent made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
II have the honor to recommend
that the following persons be dis
missed for the good of the service
from of the public schools of the
District of Columbia: Mr.. j. B.
Clark, from the position of super
vising principal of the tenth divis-
ion; Mrs. A, j. Cooper from the
position of principal of the M
Street High school; Mr.. J. L. Love
from the position of teacher of the
M Street High School"
Capt. Oyster moved that the re-
concentrations be approved, and
they were, unanimously. The end
is not yet, as Mrs. Cooper and
others will take the matter to the
courts and Congress for settlement.
A conference of colored citizens
and patrons of the M. Street High
School was held at the Galbraith
A. M. E. Zion Church to consider
the turn affairs have taken in the
matter of the principalship of that
school and to take whatever action
might be necessary to safeguard
the interest of the school. 1he
meeting was presided over by Rev.
S. l.. Corothers, who described the
situation. Earnest addresses were
made by Rev. William D. Jarvis,
Rev. James Jasper, Mr.. Thomas

they found a man alive and well.
but it was not Donovan. The
discovery Of the body was made
accidentally Saturday afternoon
at about 4 O'Clock, just one week
from the time Donovan was last
seen alive. Frank Warwick. who
has a homestead three miles
south OF this place, had been at
FlaXton three weeks and re-
turned on Saturday afternoon.
He was in town some time before
going to the claim, and while the
lost man was the main topic of
conversation about town, he did
not learn that a man was being
looked for. He went to his
shack and found that within five
feet Of his door.the body OF a man
lay stiff and cold. 1t was almost
covered with snow and was dis
covered only bv mere accident.
Mr.. Warwick says he noticed
something dark showing out Of
the snow and decided to investi-
gate, thinking that possibly
some tar paper had blown away
from his shack. Close investiga-
ton revealed the fact that it was
a mans overcoat and that it
was Enthusiastically a case OF a
man peris:ling from cold. 10 the
shack was a large stove, nearly
a cord of wood, three pairs OF
heavy blankets and provisions
enough to last at least a week.
1t is the opinion of many that
the man became demented at
the thought of bis possible death
from cold and exhaustion, and
that he did not know that he
was near shelter. Others are of
the opinion that he was so near
~ exhausted when be reached
the shack that he could not gain
entrance. The door was locked
but the windows could have been
broken in.
Mr.. Warwick came to town
and reported his discovery and
all at once guessed that NJ. D.
Donovan had met the death that
all circumstances up to that
time had pointed to. Two broth
ers from Bowbells had been here
assisting in the search. Livery

NJ: D. Donovan, one OF the best
known and most thoroughly
trained newspaper men and print
es. was found dead three miles
10 TIL OF Imperial last Saturday.
NJ. Donovan was keeping up a
residence on his homestead six
miles northeast of here, and sew
,eral days each week he assisted
viii, the work in the office of the
.Cr,-by Review, Crosby being
.abs,vt the same distance from
the mans claim.
The circumstances surrounding
the death OF NJ. D. Donovan are
sad tor many reasons. He was a
sNsa who was punctual in every
way, and was very particular
thar he keep up a good, unques-
Hoaable residence on his home
stead. This he did, and was just
finishing the last month Of an
eight months residence when
death interfered with his plans.
On Saturday afternoon, Dec.
Il, Mr.. Donovan left his work
and started on foot for his home
stead, taking with him a large
quantity OF provisions. He was
last seen alive at Mrs. Benson's
homestead, two miles distant
from his own. He delivered the
lady's mail to her and started
der his shack about dusk. He was
expected TO return to Crosby on
Monday but failed to do so.
There was not much alarm
caused until on Wednesday, when
it became apparent that he was
remaining away longer than he
would have done had all been
we'll with him. A rig was sent
out to the claim for him, but
wien the shack was reached it
was found that he had not been
there.
Atonce searching parties start
ed out ia the vicinity of the
homestead but no trace could be
fosnd. Late Friday night a trail
watfound which led across the
line into Canada. The search
ers took up the trail again early
Saturday morning, and late in
the evening, in a vacant shack,
