ior has been conferred upon a Negro.
The beneficiary OF this unprecedented
promotion, Rev w T. Anderson, of
Cleveland. for ten years a captain Of the
Tenth Cavalry. 1t became known today
that the appointment was made It the
request Of George Meyers, OF Cleveland,
for wears a lieutenant Of Senator Mark
Hanna, and whose special assignment
was the looking after the "cullud" bro
ther from the South in the National
Convention, and Ralph Tyler, the Colum-
bus Negro, recently appointed Auditor
of the Navy
As stated the appointment Of Ander-
son as a major was to accomplish a two
fold purpose; that IS TO ingratiate the
candidacy Of Representative Burton for
Mayor OF Cleveland and to avert the
threatened stampede of Negro delegates
from the Republican National Conven-
ton.
Now. Mr.. Editor. is It possible that
the colored voters Of the great State OF
Ohio and the city of Cleveland will be
deluded by the man of the horse al

(Texas) affair. and allow a few Federal

them forget and lose sight of the IN

much love for the black" brother Of
this country why did he discharge the
Twenty-hfth Infantry without giving
them a chance to prove their innocence.
Before the colored voters Of Cleveland
vote for Mr. Burton they should first
ascertain from Mr.. Burton if he IS
against Senator Foraker's endorsement
for the United States Senate. These are
questions that should be asked Repre-
sentative Burton and his friends, and if
satisfactory answer is not given then
the colored voters should not vote for
Burton. | appeal TO you, my brother,
to stand BY Senator JB. Foraker against

I'll religious education be made the rail-
lying cry; hence the motto: Change the
men and the environments would be
changed by the man.
No race could make substantial pro-
gress upward unless the highest ideals
were constantly held before it; these
ideals were not found in industrial or
higher education. but in religious and
moral education. In an education that
taught lessons of restraint as well as
lessons of service.
The Biblical injunction. Seek ye first
the kingdom of God and His righteous
ness, and all these things shall be added
unto you. must be the ruling passion.
He showed where religious education
could lessen crime, reduce violence and
promote that Christian tolerance between
the races that would stand in the hour
Of need. The greatest ovation that has
ever been accorded any colored Ameri-
can was given to Dr.. Shepard by this
white Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. His address was eloquent, logical
and pathetic. After the exercises he was
rendered a reception.
DR.. SHEPARD.
The PlainheId Courier News, ofPlaiH-
field. n. J., in speaking of DR.. Shepard,
says this:
DR.. Shepard spoke on the Negro ques-
ton and brought the matter of solving
the race problem before the people OF
this city in an entirely different way
from what it has heretofore been dis
cussed
The argument advanced by Dr.. Shep-
ard is that to give the Negro industrial
and higher education alone is not enough
10 elevate his standard and that he also
needs a Christian education if he is to
become a better man.
Dr.. Shepard said some people contend
thar the higher education Of the Negro
has been failure. and that the money
spent in trying to elevate the black mar
has been thrown away; but this IS not
a fact However, the race that devote.
=tself 10 industrial and higher education
alone must fall. In substanuating thi:
phase Of his argument DR.. Shepard re-
ferred to the ancient Greeks and Egyp
1ians, and TO the magnificent Roman cit.

es, all of which have passed away.

les, all Of which have passed away.
The fundamental principles Of every
life, regardless OF color, should be built
upon something stronger and more last
ing, he declared.
The Negro, North and South, contia-
ued, DR.. Shepard, has been taught an
emotional religion He has been taught
that to shout and make a noise would
land him at the pearly gates of heaven,
but he has not been taught to have re-
gard for the obligations he owes his
fellow-man
Here DR.. Shepard told an anecdote Of
an old Negro slave who one day ran
to his master, shouting, "Massa, Use
got religion; Pse got religions" We'll,
Uncle John" replied the master, / am
glad you have religion. Now you will
be honest, love your family more, and
be better man, won't you?" yes, sah'
masSa, | will, replied the slave We'll,
Uncle John you owe me fifty cents; you
will pay that won't you?' and the re-
ligious Negro replied: Now, massa,
see hyar; religion is religion, and busi-
ness is business"
What the Negro wants, continued DR..
Shepard. is a change of ideas. something
that will awaken the sluggish, dormant
energies within him and turn his mind
into a channel of usefulness to his fel-
low man and his God There is entirely
too much talk of social equality. The
Negro does not want social equality, and
! those who teach him that he does are a
detriment to the Negro race. What he
does want is a fair and equal chance to
work out his destiny.
This can be best accomplished by a
thorough Biblical education, which will
elevate the thoughts above the sordid-
ness Of the world and will stop crime of
all kinds There will be no idleness, and
violence will cease because it teaches
the lesson of self-restraint and builds
! up a better citizenship, stopping the great
human waste that is found in the chain
gangs Of the penitentiaries throughout
/ the country.
Therefore the solving of the race ques-
ton is moral and religious one, The
industrial and higher education can come
afterward.
The meeting was opened with prayer
by the Rev J. w. Turner A choir Of
twenty voices from the various colored
churches of the city rendered vocal so
| los. DR.. Shepard is an eloquent speaker
and an interesting conversationalistHis
idea Of solving the race problem is per
haps the most practical there IS.

FORMS OF ASSOCIATION.

Certain considerations should he borne iH mind when i've come to regard the organization of water users asso- citations aside from what We have com prehensively stated to be the objects of the association. The association is not one for commercial. manufacturing or other purposes of profit to the asso- ciates. aside from the mutual benefit resulting from the operation. A cap htaI stock may or may not be neces- sary. dependent upon the things nee essary to be done by the association to accomplish it's ultimate object of supplying the lands of it's members with water. IrrthOse instances where the government constructs the entire system "' development storage. regu- lation, diversion and distribution of the water. q capital stock Is not necesss ry. fer the capital is wholly supple" bv the government. Y-i tn. laws "f O given state terriroI'v may require that 6. capital O.- stated. it's amount: itS di- vision into shares. the manner of pay = ment for it by the subscribers. etc. etc. In cases where the associated water users may contemplate extended or supplementary works in addition to those constructed by the government under the national irrigation act. il might be we'll to provide for capital stock for use for that purpose.
 In one instance which We have in mind. the capital stock is fixed at the estimated cost of the government pro- ject. divided into the same number of shares as there are estimated to be acres that can be supplied by the pro- feet. Each share of stock is made ap- purtenant to a specified acre of land owned or entered by the subscriber with the provision that the stock shall be deemed paid up when the subscriber shall have paid to the government the part of the cost of the project aptor- tioned to his land to which the stock is appurtenant.
 Under these provisions. it will be ob- served. no money on account of capi- tai stock can go into the treasury oi the association.
 The estimate of the number of acres of land that may be irrigated from the project was made large enough to cover any reasonable contingency. and pro- vision was made that if finally il should be determined that a less num- Der only could be supplied. the num- her of shares subscribed for.' if it ex- ceeded the number of acres that could be supplied, should be reduced to the number of acres for which water could be irrigated from all available sources This made necessary some rule pr al

 The result was the agreement to a plan by at least so per cent of those who might become the beneficiaries of the proposed works. The plan contem- plates three distinct sources of supply. First. The unregulated supply of the normal flow of the river. This was variable and practically undete rmin- able.
 Second. The water that might be impounded by a storage dam. AS the measure of the appropriations already made had not been made. the amount which might be called stored water was indeterminate.
 Third. The supply from subterra- mean sources, to be developed and made available by pumping with power in cidentally developed by the construe- ton of the storage dam and other works. The extent of this supply is unknown and in our calculations SO far as it may affect the general plan, it is not taken into account.
