the Negro Has Been
Able to Do For Himself
BY Rev. L. B. MOORE. Dean of Teachers College. H
Washington

Washington
HWHE negro has lived and increased his population far beyond
the expectation Of friend and foe. Every other people have
~ gone down in the native heath of the white man, either be-
cause of weakness in themselves or the domineering spirit of
the Aryan, but the negro has shown himself CAPABLE OF LV-
ING, WITH THE WHITE MAN wherever he lives and of learn
ing from him the arts Of civilization.
1t was confidently predicted that after slavery the negro would die
out, that he would not work, that socially and domestically he gould
never become a part of the body polite, but in the face of this and
AGAINST GREAT OPPOSITION he has knitted himself into the
very life Of the nation and in forty years has increased his numbers
from 100000 to nearly 100000.
While men were debating whether he could or would meet the
changed conditions of freedom he has transformed himself from a
chattel to a free man, from a driven mass of human form, working
under the lash, to an INDEPENDENT WAGE FARMER; has
helped to change the south from a rude agricultural section to prosper
Gus manufacturing centers and has proved that his labor under freedom
is far more valuable than his labor under slavery.
AND NOT ALONE IN AGRICULTURAL PURSUITS, BUT IN EVERY
PHASE OF MECHANICAL INDUSTRIES, HE is SHOWING HIMSELF
ADAPTABLE TO. NEW CONDITIONS AND TAKING HIS PLACE IN
THE PURSUIT OF vARitD OCCUPATIONS.

WAYS OF CAMPING OUT.


The city man sojourning at Kineo,
| grown tired of the ridiculous fashion
of donning evening clothes for din
ner in a backwoods hotel, fancies he
would like to strike into the woods
and "rougt it" for a while. Where.
upon he hires a guide, with whom
all the arrangements are naturally
left-the buying of provisions n
supplies, the selection of, the route,
etc.-and paddles away in a canoe
to camp out. By a happy chance they
reach the comfortable farmhouse on
Checuncook lake the first afternoon,
where, since there will be mo mos
quitoes to bother, and every comfort
of home to be had, The guide suggests
they put up for the night. The next
morning ii is a little rough on the
lake, perhaps; SO they wait untll
after dinner for the water to smooth
enough to paddle across. Dinner at

they proceed ~leisurely and, by anoth-
er happy coincidence, reach the COM

shutdown, where they put up for the

guided from one comfortable camp to
another, returns to Kineo, presents
his unusued supplies and $40 or $50
worth of fishing tackle to the guide.

SATURDAY. DECEMBER 1.
UNITED STATES SENATOR'S.

1t is probable that no senatorial
election has attracted more public in
terest both in and outside this state
than the contest now on for the seat
which John f. Dryden occupies in the
upper house of congress at Washing
ton. Two things bring this matter
prominently before the public. One
is that the people are becoming thor.
oughly aroused at the way the gov
eminent is being stolen from them by
the large moneyed interests and cor
porations, The other is that the evil
lies in the United States senate the
members of which are not elected by
the people.
1t is true that in about one-third
people at the general election,
nifty their preference and the state
Sislature. witch alone has the pow
to elect does not dare change the
,rdict of the people. New Jersey,
nowevG is not in this class and the
selection of a United States senator
is wholly in the hands of the state
legislature.
There are many things the people
want, but it has become evident that
they cannot be secured until different
men occupy the seats in the United
States senate. Senator Dryden is rec
ognized as a corporation man. He
stands with those who favor giving
the people all they want except when
corporations are hit.
The Philadelphia Record, quoting
from the New York Sun, discusses
the senatorial situation generally, as
follows:
The leading men in the house of
representatives do not come from the
great cities. Politics in Philadelphia
and New York and Chicago and st.
Louis is controlled by rings or ma
chimes, and they only nominate me-
diocrities, because men of real abll
ity will not serve as the mere dunn
mics of a boss.
The leading men of the senate
rarely come from the great states.
These states are dominated by polit-
ical machines, which elect the bosses
themselves or men named by them.
When Thomas Plat was the boss of
New York he had himself elected and
later had Chauncey Depew elected.
The New York Sun says:
Did the people send Plat to1the
senate? Did they send Depew? Have
they sent any one to the senate in a
quarter of a century? Roscoe Conk-
ling? Not a bit: and he, at best, was
only a shallow intellectual impostor
whose memory is negligible.
Neither Plat nor Conkling contrib
uted one stroke of work to the CON
duct of the government or the cause
OF legislature. The distribution of
patronage and tae maintenance of
the machines nlorcroccapied their at
tention. Deycw has done even loss;
he has not even contributed to the

Control Corporations;
They Must Not Be Killed
By WILLIAM H. TAFT. Secretary of War

BY WILLIAM II. TAFT. secraryo OF War
~RUSTS are merely large business corporations that pursue
methods that are ILLEGAL. A corporation is an artificial
entity, and this element is one of the most valuable we have
in building up the interests of this country, because it relieves
the contributor from Personal LIABILITY. But because they
are valuable is no reason why their privileges should be ABUSED
If they would treat with the public fairly, then they ought to divide
the benefits of the REDUCTION IN COST OF PRODUCTION.
Great corporations are able to make out of rebates enough to pay
large dividends on their capital stock and to crush out competitors that
do not enjoy such rebates.
We ought to suppress the evils oftrusts WITHOUT DESTROYs
ING THE BUSINESS. We have not got rid of all the evils. NJ
AM NOT SAYING so, BUT THE FEAR OF THE LORD HAS
BEEN PUT IN THE HEARTS OF THE voLAToRs, so THAT NOW
THEY DO NOT DEFY THE LAW.
