COLORED BOYS FAMOUS SPEECH.

The stories about negroes which
Ray Stannard Baker tells in the
August American magazine are inter-
esting as we'll as Illuminating. For
example:
81 was in Macon while the first
State fair ever held by Negroes in
Georgia was in progress. In spite of
the fact that racial relationships, ow-
ing to the recent riot at Atlanta,
were acute, the fair was largely at
tended, and not only by Negroes but
by many white visitors. The brunt
of the work of organization fell up
on R. R. Wright, president Of the
Georgia State Industrial College
(colored) Of Savannah. President
Wright is of full-blooded African
descent, his grandmother, whoreared
him, being an African Negro of the
Mandingo tribe. Just at the close
of the war he was boy in freed
mems school at Atlanta. One Sum
day General O. O. Howard came to
address the pupils. When he finished
he expressed desire to take mes
sage to the people in the North.
What shall I tell them for your"
he asked.
A little boy stood up and said:
"Tell 'em, Massa, we are, rising"
Upon this incident John Greenleaf
Whittier wrote famous poem: and
at the Negro fair, GROWING the
charts which had been prepared to
show the progress Of the negroes of
Georgia, | saw this motto:
I'VE ARE RISING"
The little black boy grew up, was
graduated at Atlanta University,
studied at Harvard, travelled in
Europe, served in the Spanish-Amer-
lean War, and is now seeking to help
his race to get an industrial training
in the college which he organized in
| 1891.

The State insurance department
recently compiled statistics showing
that S5346, O23.77 was paid in prem
iums for fire insurance in this state
last year, while the losses were
Sc. 146, 1929. Isn't this a pretty
steep profit for the people of this
state to pay? Of course the COM
panies are entitled to reasonable
recompense for risk and commission
for agents, but unless rates are
placed somewhere within reasonable
limits, fire insurance will sooner or
later have to meet the same compe-
tition that the life insurance COM
panies have been up against. Two
millions of dollars for the benefit of
stockholders and insurance agents in
Minnesota is coming little too
strong. Why should not insurance
companies pay dividends to its pol
icy-holders as we'll as to the stock
owners?

MAY EXTEND TO COAST.
Owners of the St. Louis Said to be
Planning a TransCOntinentdl.

The owners of the Minneapolis &
ST. Peter road aspire to make it a
transcontinental line.
Edwin Hawley, the president, is
also president of the Iowa Central.
More than that, he is shrewd rail-
road man and realizes the vests
need for more transportation lines
as the country expands.
It was because of this intimate
knowledge Of the railroad situation
that he ordered an extension of the
st. Louis from Watertown to the
Missouri river and thus tapped a
remarkably rich and profitable ter
ritory.
Now he proposes to go further
and connect with the Corvallis &
Eastern, an Oregan road in which he
is heavily interested. When these
two lines meet the st. Louis will be
transcontinental in fact.
The attitude of investors toward
railroad securities may delay the
project for time, but as Mr.. Haw-
ley is man who owns the roads
which he directs and therefore is
out of the reach of stock jobbers
and the usual contingencies which
tend to bankrupt systems, it is not
thought likely that he will encoun-
ter great difficulties in carrying out
his plans.
When they are completed, it is
prophesified that the st. Louis viii
jump suddenly into prominence as Z
leading factor in transportation cir
lcles. Now, it does not figure il
Wall street to any great extent
With the South Dakota sextensior
completed it will move up peg ane
with each successive advance west
ward it is said that the revenues o.
the line will increase and that TIL
system will soon be on a suplu
basis.

Railway ticket officials have been
notified to discontinue all half fare
trip tickets to ministers except for
travel in either South Dakota or
Michigan. The instructions seem to
cover the list of half fare or reduced
rates heretofore given to ministers
and other religious workers, as well
as various charitable institutions,
old soldiers and others, as the word
ing Of the instructions state spec
officially that from this date no half
fare rates shall be granted to any
one, except regular employees OF the
company, and each application must
state in what capacity the applicant
is employed by the company.

Up in Otter Tail county, so the
story goes, one j. O. Elgin was
buried with a monograph accom-
paniment, the minister being away
on a vacation. Persons in the neigh
borhood had appropriate records
extracts from sermons and few
hymns that would fit in nicely-and
these were gathered together and
used. A company of neighbors as
sembled, the sermon extracts were
delivered by the machine and the
hymns were sung and listened to
with due solemnity. Here is hint
for other ministers enjoying their
well earned vacation. Before leav-
ing for their summer rest, they
might leave behind them set OF
Photographic records of their best
sermons, with an appropriate selec-
ton of funeral and wedding serv-
ices for emergencies like that of the
Otter Tail county incident. Great
is science.

Public school teachers in Mime
apolis have gained point in their
demands for increased salaries, the
board of education having fixed the
maximum salary for grade teachers
at $1,000. This is 5000 increase from
last year, and means a higher stand
ard of teaching for that city. The
teaching profession is steadily i'm
proving in the matter of the stand
ard of requirements on the part Of
the teacher as well as of the tax
payer. Amateur teachers are Sc
little in demand that those taking
up the profession are discovering
that normal or university course is
only the promising gateway to good
positions. From the taxpayers point
of view, the best teachers are worth
the salaries required to secure them
and the salary scale is advancing al
over the west.
