Ger of the stomach is regarded as absolutely
incurable even by the most modern and
daring surgeons.
William Rockefeller has spent most of
the winter In Italy, making his headquar-
ters at Rome AS in the case of President
Harper, his illness permits him to travel
about, and he has made frequent motor
trips to and from Naples and other points
Cancer OF the stomach causes the most
excruciating agony to it's victims. In the
case Of President Harper though he suf-
fered most keenly, he continued his work
as the head of the great educational instf-
tuition up to within a few days OF his
death.
How far the disease has progressed in
the case of Mr.. Rockefeller could not be
learned. Members of the Rockefeller fam
lily and intimate associates in the Stand
ard OH Company who were seen last night
declined to say word. None of them de-
MED that he was suffering with cancer of
the stomach.
Blow to the Standard Oil Group.
The Illness OF William, Rockefeller is a

A man who stands on the street
corner chewing and splitting, tell
ing how the government should be
run, cursing the town, finding
fanlt with his grandmother because
she was a woman, claiming that
the merchants are a lot of thieves,
that the lawyers and newspaper
men would skin a man to a finish,
and a whole lot more is g nuisance
and an abomination. Any town
pestered with such worthless would
be justified i'll exercising cowhide

"WhO is there that can say the
present complaint generally made
against the inefficiency Of the me-
gro in the field is wholly to be
placed on the black racei asks the
Chattanooga Tradesman.
"What steps were taken to in
crease his usefulness in that direc-
ton or even to maintain his for
mer habits OF industryf
"When history is correctly writ
ten OF that transition period the
negro will not stand so much in
the darkness OF censure as he does
today, for he was the ward OF the
nation, and the special subject
whom the dominant race under
took to guard and guide in it's fu-
ture career. II he went astray, or
became weaker in any respect, the
fault was' not. his, but rather
should belong to those who took
such charge over him."
This is true; and yet the pOpu-
lation Of negroes has increased to
such an extent that the task Of
providing the training Is well. nigh
beyond the capacity of the guard
ian race. In the experiment Of
forty years ago, when it was
thought that all the negro needed
was the ballot, a great blunder
was made. Another blunder was
in trying to elevate the negro by
the same system Of education that
had been found good for the white
person.
The result of the process was the
formation OF some very good col
ored limitations OF white men, at
the expense Of cultivation OF those
characteristics that are most valu-
able in the negro.
Not only, therefore, have we not
kept up with the races need of
training, but we have been train
ing in the wrong way.
The conditions by this time
would be deplorable had we to
deal with a people less tractable
than the negroes. We do not
know that we can get out of our
trouble at all, but we can make a
stab at it, as the saying is; and
the first thing is to recognize what
the trouble is-namely, that in ed
ucsting the negro we have spent
our time and money on the neg ro's
brain when they should have been
spent ON his hands.
