ROOSEVELT NOT so WORSE.

The installation of Rev. William Patter-
son Thirkolid as president of Howard Uni
versity and the celebration of it's fortieth
anniversary, at which such distinguished men
as President Theodore Roosevelt, James
Bryce the English ambassador, and Andrew
Carnegie were present and spoke words OF
encourag cement as we'll as words of facts was
an auspicious event in the history Of that
famous educational institution. Mr.. Car
negia declared the question is no longer what
must we do with the Negro, but how can we
get more of them, proved to be the happy
hit of the speechmaking Ambassador Bryce
declared the black folk in the United States
had made marvellous success even when COM
pared with the white folk themselves Presi-
dent Roosevelt's speech was full and over
flowing with meat for thought not only for
the black man, but for all manner OF man.
So striking are his words that we can not
resist the temptation to quote at least one
paragraph:
81 am glad to have the chance to come be-
fore you and say word of greeting and
God-speed today. This day of your instala
ton, Mr. President, commentaries the for
tieth anniversary Of the founding of this
institution. There has been much Of sorrow
and disappointment that has come to men,
not. only of the colored race but of all races,
during that forty years, and sometimes in
looking back we fail to realize all the
progress that has been made. Let me call
attention to just two facts. During the forty
years principally during the time that has
elapsed since the emancipation proclamation,
the cOlored institutions of the United States
have accumulated property until now they
have all told, some $350000,000 worth Of
taxable property in this country. During the
same forty years they have been making for
themselves homes until now there are 100000
homes owned and occupied by the colored
citizens Of our country
''When man and woman grow to acquire
certain amount Of property above all, when
they grow to own and occupy their own
home it is proof positive that they have
made long strides forward along the path
Of good citizenship
Nothing not even large bank accounts,
will do as much toward giving the black
folk of this country higher standing in the
respective communities in which they live as
the owning of good homes and the surround
ing Of those homes with inviting grounds.
Home, sweet home, should be to every one
the most inviting spot on earth. f.

My ship is coming" jubilantly exclaims
Uncle Sam as he looks over the blue waters
and sees ship load Of English gold steam
ing into port. Unless we miss out guess
there will come day time some day when
this gold and it's accumulative interest are to
return to England then you will rue the
day that my ship" ever came.

Men talk Of justice and the enforcement
Of the law upon the white man and the black
man one alike as though such thing were
but justice to the Negro does not mean that
you must treat the Negro in all matters, even
to the enforcement of the law, as you would

When the letters addressed in this
manner did begin TO come I'm the
