Canal in Good Shape.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-With but two
exceptions, the president yesterday
expressed complete satisfaction with
the condition of affairs ON the isthmus
of Panama as disclosed during his
three days inspection of the work
there. One of the exceptions, the
president told his callers, related to
the sanitary features of the quarters
for the bachelor negro laborers, and
this, he pointed out, under ordinary
circu1nstaL~ es, will have been adjust
ed within a very short time. The
president expressed himself as i'm
pressed with the magnitude of the
undertaking at Panama and Of the
way in which it is being carried out.
He is not yet certain whether he will
recommend any special legislation in
connection with the isthmian work in
the special message which he is to
send to congress on the subject. This
will depend on full consideration OF
the matter between now and next
week.

Spirit Of the Negro Press.

The two speeches delivered by
president Roosevelt at Hampton
and Howard were filled with good
advice and sound sense that might
be given to buy people. In both
OF them he confined himself al
most wholly to those fundamentals
the Importance of which is not
recognized by a people low IN the
scale of civilization. He dwelt on
the points of conduct, sobriety,
thrift and economy, just such
things as should be impressed
upon the minds of three-fourths of
the people of this country, and
perhaps upon a larger percent.
But as a matter of fact the people
whom he addressed on these oc-
ctsslons were not of the class who
are without definite and fixed |
ideas OF what constitutes useful
living and good citizenship. They
had already made response to the
demands of this civilization and
and their lives are an amen to
what he had to say. In view of
his it does seem that the Presi-
lent might have spoken to thel
students of these two schools on a
blame which would have shown
hat he regarded them as having
cached the grammar grade of ad-
'ancement. However much it
nay insisted that what is said on

Children'S Day.

The Children's Day Exercises at

Sunday evening were a credit not
only to the Sunday school but to
the church and community also.
1t was an inspiring sight to be
present, listen to, and she the chill
dren do credit to their parents, and
they could congratulate themselves
that their efforts to properly rear
and educate them, are not in vain.
Great credit is due the teacher of
the Sunday school for the success
full rendition of such a magnificent
programme.
The caurch was tastfully deco
rated with flowers distributed about
the rostrum in profusion. Miss
Ruth Hooper had charge of the
evenings program and did herself
credit for the prompt and satisfac-
tory manner in which she disposed
of the extensive exercises,
Mrs. N. Ford's recitation was
perhaps the best of the evening
ane her rendition of the same was
suberb and all pronounced he effort
a master peice of elocution.
Miss Lena Dorsey'e recitation
was Blso a good one and full of
pathos. her enunciation perfect and |
if she applies herself along this line
we predict for her a great future.

Call'Iwhich was we'll received.
The recitations of Willie Green,
Myrtle Tolden and Miss Alma Bass
were above the average and excel

ence in the splendid rendition of
their flower song.

things and conditions which used
to exist. He is etill talking about
the things which happened and
obtained during the war, or lust
after the war. Somehow he re-
tures to see that the tallow candle.
the stage coach, the old-fashioned
farmer and the old-timed societies
have almost entirely disappeared.
Somehow he refuses to see that
his occupations in which he once
had a monopoly are swiftly passing
into the hands of white men.
Somehow, he refuses to awake
and realize that the white men
and women who used to befriend
him are either nearly all dead or
have quietly withdrawn from him.
Somehow, he, even with forty
years of schools and churches, re-
fuses to make the religious pro-
gress which everybody has made
and is making. The whole world
has changed. The electric line of
progress rushes the cars by him,
while still stands at the station, in |
doubt or fear of himself, thinking
of the good, old davs of the fast
walking mnle and the fast trotting
