We are sowing for our posterity,

SOW, what must the harvest be,
greater heights of course The
dominant people of this country
are not all great people, of course
they dominate as a whole, as the
Caucasian race; but the few good
and great among them are their
main stake as can be attested by
their history. Their good blood
is tracable through periods of hun
dreds and thousands of years.
When the Negro will have put be-
hind him thousand years, he will
have wiped out every trace of what
seems to be the line of demarka-
ton now.
1t is only question of time in
the accomplishment of anything.
The greatness of the people whom
we serve was not acquired in day
it took years of toll and patience
to reach the heights upon which
they stand to-day and we can and
must go up the same; but must
make the distance in shorter
time. and if we would, we must
make good and great men an indi-
vidual greatness, family greatness,
community greatness, and on and
on until the crime of rape shall
not be heard in all of this fair land
of ours, and until the lynchers
arms are paralyzed and his mad
dened brain is benumed, then shall
America enter the highway which
leads to the sunlit hills of Gods
glory whose effulgence shall shade

human history, of our times and

SIMPLE JUSTICE
Is all the Negro Demands of the
American White Nan.

If the Negroes who represent
character and culture received
greater credit for it at the hands
of our white friends they might be
relied upon to do a little more in
the direction of reforming what is
known las the lower class among
them, but when it is insisted that
there is no difference between
them, when real good colored are
deprived of the accommodation
and esteem, which should be sure
and certain reward for upright con-
duct it is quite natural for them to
grow careless with regard thereto.
Our plea is ''if simple justice is
done to the good and well mean
ing Negro, he will contribute as
much to the preservation of good
government, obedience to law and
order, and the evolution to Chris
tian conduct as any other people
under the sun. Let our white
friends resolve to help us stimu-
late our more illiterate and less
responsible people to grow better,
and the millennium of peace will
dawn upon us, as the sun beams
fall from the heavens above.
Honor to whom honor is due" is
the text, and the sermon breaches
itself. The strong white race, with
centuries of culture and freedom
behind it and firm and steady
discipline finds many oddities and
distractions. many strange and
grave pecdliarities within itself
and many aggravating conditions
which it would like to see altered
and improved, but its preachers,
editors, orators, historians and
poets never censure and condemn
the whole race for the conduct Of
the more worthless and less respon-
sible element therein. On that
principle let them deal with our
race, and every member of it will
feel encouraged to make the post
of honor a public station. Then,
and not until then, will the races
become truly friendly to each other
and strive together to make a

THE HELLO ARGUMENT.

The history of telephone COM
petition, o-called, is now so plain
that he who runs may read warn
ing.
An analysis in any of the larger
cities where a second telephone
system has been permitted to gain
foot-hold shows that, rather than
increasing the facilities of the 5us-
mess man, and reducing his ex-
pense, the exact contrary is true.
In Philadelphia, Cleveland, ST.
Louis, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Tole-
do, Kansas City, and other towns
of similar size, an anylisis of the
telephone directories of the old
and new system proves conclusive
ly that from fifty-fi to eighty per
cent. of the business men are
obliged to subscribe for service
from both companies.
The promoter has invariably
used the argument that the intro
duction of a second telephone sys-
tenn will compel the Bell Company
already in the field to reduce it's
rates to such a point that the SER
vice may be obtained from both
companies at the same rate, or
even less than prevailed when the
Bell alone was in the field. That
this is not true, and that the ex-
pense to the business man is great
ly increased may be readily proven
by discussion of the matter with
any of the business men in the
cities above mentioned.
In addition it will be learned
that a further Inconvenience re-
suits through the annoyance and
delay occasioned by consulting two
books and answering two bells.
Denver business men have done
well TO keep the lesson so bitterly
learned by the business men else
where.

Hinton, w. Va, Sept. 11.-As
the result of pitched battle be-
tween Negroes and italian labor
ers employed by Shenahan & Ire
land, contractors at work for the
Chesapeake & Ohio railroad at AL
legheny tunnel today, Lloyd Peter
son is dead, John Lewis and Peter
Carameli cannot possibly recover,
and nine others are seriously in
jured. The fight started over
Peterson. Negro foreman order
ing an italian to assist a Negro la
borer in some trivial task. The
Italian not understanding paid no
attention and Peterson kicked and
then knocked him down. In an
instant both crews were at each
other with knives, picks and crow
bars. The Italian, attacked by
Peterson, shot the foreman through
the stomache and liver with Colt
revolver and in turn had his skull
crushed by crowbar in the hands
of another Negro. The fatally
wounded were taken to the Holly
hospital at Hinton, while others,
who will recover, are under the
car of a physician in the railroad
camp.

Is greatness virtue? 1t would
seem that it is not considered alb
stractly Greatness is the state
of being great, that is, great
scholar great philosopher or
great debater. 1t may be, and
possibly is that greatness is attain
ed by some virtuous acts, for in
stance, great scholar must ac-
quire the habit of study, the phil
osopher must acquire the habit of
research and thought, great de-
batter must of necessity be a logic
ian and have the art of sitting
propositions and sylogisms in Or
der to discover the falacies of ar
guments.
We have said that these quail
ties are the stepping stones to great
ness in the abstract; but greatness
of itself is not a virtue. The con-
clusion is then that great men are
not good because they are great,
they may be great because they
are good, but goodness is a virtue
ir itself. There are three things
which must enter into and become
part of an individual that he may
become great after the fashion of
Jesus Christ. First, he must be
truthful; second, he must be hon.
est; third, he must be moral.
A great race must therefore,
have individual greatness, and
wherever a race preponderates in
Greatness, it is because of its indi-
yidual greatness. If we would
stop to make a selection of what
we call great men, from all the
races, selecting ten in number; the
Negro would be the equal of any
ten men or women of any race on
earth. This statement may be
questioned and possibly disputed
but we say that out of ten millions
of Negroes in this country, there
can be found ten who will equal
ten from any other race on the
face of the globe.
OF course there may be diff
ference along some given line. but
in the aggregate, the Negro would
even up, and yet our opportunities
have not been the same. The white
. man has behind him thousands
of years of what the world calls
greatness, an ancestry of which to
boast, of achievements and victor
les of which any people should be
proud. Over against theirs, the
Negro has nothing of which he
can be proud; but the providence
of God in pergetuating his life BY
giving him an endurance which is

Washington, Sept. 15.-That
the plastering work on the White

intendent of Public Buildings and

the work being done by non union

that the reason therefore was that
the work could be done much
cheaper under these conditions

were about 175,O00 dollars. They
