their determinations against the
Negro, and in all Of those states
south Of Mason and Dxon's line
save one, the browning disgrace and
reflection upon modern civilization
is conspicuous in the form of Jim
Crow laws. To be charged a full
first class fare for passage on a
steam car, steamboat, or street car
and then chucked into the most in
decent and uncomfortable place to
be found in the conveyance is a most
hurdensome insult heaped upon ten
million people which is totally in
defensible, inexcusable, and vicious
and without parallel in modern
civilization and void of a single SELL

al Of the arguments | have seen in

all of the acts performed in their

higher than blind race prejudice.
l have touched upon only a few
CT the burdens which the Negro is
bearing every day. Now turn to the
problems he has to solve which are
as numerous as the burdens he is
bearing. Shut out wholly in some
sections and partially in all sections
from the positions which pay the
best wages and forced to accept the
lower places where less wages are
paid and at the same time possessing
as intense desire to educate his
children as any white man ever had,
he finds that a problem confronts
him, which is most difficult Of solu-
iton, yet tens Of thousands, have
solved such problems within the last
forty years successfully. The Ne
gro business man and the Negro
professional man, indeed the Negro
everywhere finds himself confronted
by problems which rarely confront
the Write man. Even the Negro of
culture, refinement and means is not
exempt when he seeks to procure

Civilization in Kentucky.

Civilization is climbing the Ken
lucky mountains. In Jackson, the
county seat Of "Bloody Breathitt,"
known as 1.-The City Of Sudden
DEATH" is treating itself to electric
lights. Under the Hargis-Callahan
domination there were no street
lights at all. 1t was often necessary
to wait for broad daylight to get a
bead on a marked man. AS the
Louisville Courier-Journal remarks.
OF course, there were moonlight
nights when man might be hit If
a shotgun could be conveniently \se-
cured; but moonlight half-revealing,
the target Is mislead-
ing, and there is always the danger
of mistaken identity and filing an
old and tried friend with your buck
shot. The electric lights will not
now be needed for the purpose they
might have served. They will burn
long and brightly, Illuminating the
streets OF a peaceful town; and it is
improbable that they will even be
shot out on Saturday nights by the
boys from Quicksand and Frozen
creek, so quiet and orderly has the
Breathitt capital grown"

Facts About Illiteracy.

It's strange but true that we have
a larger proportion Of illiterates in
this country than most European
countries. OF all the recruits in the
German army in 1903, only one in
each $500 was illfterate. In Sweden
and Norway it was one in 1850; in
Denmark, one in 500; in Switzer-
land, one in 1866; In Holland, one in
40; in France, one in 16. In 1902
In England one man in 40, and one
woman in 40 were unable to write
their names when they were married.
About four-fifths Of the American
illiterates were born among the most
unfavored people Of the Old World.
But that fact must not blind us to
the other fact that we have too many
illiterates born in this country. In
New York State in 1900 there were
29,188 illiterates Of foreign birth
and 1852 Of native birth. The per-
centage Of illiterates who are Amer

ticult problems of abandoning his
home or suffering violence at the
hands of the best citizens
Now l turn to ask what is this
great burden that the white man,
or rather class Of white men
claim to be bearing on account of
the Negro? If we stop TO analyze
it, a first analysis will produce abou;
this result. The, Negro is and has
been since the settlement of the
country the chief. laborer in the
south and since wealth is the pro-
duct Of labor, then the Negro is
the principal source Of wealth in the
south. But says one it was and is
the white mans bEain that directed
and utilized this labor. Admit that
and yet the fact remains that the
white man has Teaped the proceeds
not only Of his brain effort but far
more than fair share OF the Ne
Sros muscle effort.sIn saving what
he has. under circumstances so I'M
favorable and utilizing 1t so as to
make such marvellous progress in
material things in SO short time,
the Negro has demonstrated his ca
pacity to solve most difficult prob
lens such as have confronted no
other people in America. In the north
the Negro has had in certain respects
better opportunities for education
and advancement along many lines,
and while many charge that he has
not made the best use of his oppor-
tunities there, it cannot be truthfully
charged that he is a burden to the
white people Of that section. 1t is
therefore clear to any reasonably
thoughtful mind that the greatest
and probably the only real burden
imposed upon the white man by the
Negroes presence in America is the
effort he the white NAM should
make to work himself up to a plane
Of thinking and acting that will en-
able him to do simple justice to the
Negro, to give him an equal chance
to earn living in any Of the ave-
nnes of industry and to pay him as
much for what he has to sell wheth-

INN to go and stay, he will find less
opposition and far tighter burdens,
N the lds-of-industry and trades

den is heavier SO far as Justice be-

such as exclusion from hotels and
places of public entertainment and
amusement to which all other races
are admitted. Such treatment pro-
duces burden almost crushing in
weight to every decent, self-respecu-
ing Negro in America. Of such bur
denS white people know nothing
save as they look on, many times In
a sort OF fiendish glee, as they see
the burden forced upon the helpless
SiicuiNSlo VI NeSIOcS.
There are two special burdens
peculiar to the south, to which I
wish now TO call attention, viz: dis
reimbursement and partially in
making and enforcing the laws. In
order that this first burden might
be imposed successfully, it became
necessary to resort to brute force,
intimidation and in many cases even
murder, because, the Negro, know
ing that his ballot was his chief pro-
'ectlCn against all political evils
chung to it with a courage that de-.
served better recognition than it re-
celVed even in the north. But race
prejudice was against him and the
ballot was shot out his hand by the
Ku KluX and other mobs, then Of
course the way to all kinds of unjust
discriminating legislation was clear
ana the way to every conceivable
KIND of unjust methods of admins
'ration was also clear, therefore in
many Of the southern states the cleo
ton laws, prison laws, landlord and
tenant laws are simply monstrous in

THE NEGRO'S BURDEN.

Mr.. tor:-Much is being said
these days about the "White Mans
Burden and the Negro Problem,
Etc. Very little is said, however,
about the Negroes burden, or the
Negroes problems. 1t is, neverthe-
less, certain that the Negro in Amer
lea has a burden 2 thousand times
heavier to bear and problems far
more difficult of solution than the
white people have. Passing over the
awful burden Of slavery with it's
tortures, inhumanities and unman-
ming tendencies, / shall only call at
tcntiOn to a few Of the many pecu-
liar conditions which confront the
Negro and enter into the makeup of
his burdens, as they occur to me.
Should the Negro go north or west
in search of employment as a me-
chanic, or skilled laborer, he finds
that the labor unions have imposed
the burden of exclusion upon him.
II he seeks employment as a brake
man, fireman, or engineer on any one
of the many railroads in those sec
tlons, he, as a rule, finds that, in
that field the trainmen's organiza-
tions place the same burden Of ex-
clusion upon him. If he seek T.
place even as a waiter in many of
the first class places, he finds the
same bar Of exclusion laid up against
him. He is, therefore, forced to &C
cept employment as janitor or serv-
ant in private family, and finally

PEOPLE ANO THINGS

Washington, Sept. rs. People
who know Jim" Watson, the In
diana congressman, realize that his
decision to leave the House in order
to become n candidate for governor
Of his State must have cost him many
a pang OF regret, for Watson enjoyed
being member of Congress. There
can be no doubt of that. Indeed, it
Is impossible to recall just now any
OF his colleagues who gloried as
much in this position of Federal law
maker which means so much back
bone where the votes come from,
and usually so little here in Wash
ington. To the young Indianian Con-
greSS Was-or is, let us say, since he
Is still member and presumably
will continue to be during the COM
ing session. very serious matter.
He is not a statesman-just a mag
netic talker and clever politician.
but he has always taken his politics
seriously, and has always been dis
Greet and Industrious in the extreme.
TO these circumstances, rather than
to any unusual ability. are due his
rise in the House to the more or less
important position Of majority whip
and to membership on the Ways and
Means Committee, which body, al
though supposed to be at the top of
the list in the matter of power and
Importance, is really second to Ap-
preparations in sessions when no
tariff or revenue bills of moment are
up for consideration
Uncle Joe" discovered that Watson
could keep his mouth shut as we'll as
talk; that he was a hard worker,
and, moreover, that he was shrewd
and what probably would be termed
smart" in the Middle West. Hence
the young Indianian's promotions,
which gave him a position that he
naturally is reluctant to part with,
even for what appears to be a good
chance of being governor.
Opinion is divided as to Represent
tative Watson's future were he to
remain In Congress. 1t is quite rea-
sonable to assume that that monu.
mental statesman, the Hon. Joseph
g. Cannon, will continue to succeed
himself as long as he lives and re-
mains member of the House and
the Republicans maintain a majority
But even with "Uncle Joe" elimin-
ated, 1t is by no means certain that
the orator from Indiana could be

sidered, considerable number Of his
