PRAISE FOR THE GLOBE.

1t gives us great pleasure to publish
in these columns an article from our
contemporary, The Nashville Clarion,
in which the owners of The Globe are
praised for their success in giving to
the people of Nashville an excellent
newspaper We appreciate these words
of commentator, coming as they do
from paper published in our home
city, and most especially do we prize
the compliment because the editor of
The Clarion is one of the most bril-
liant writers the race has produced.
A young man, he has produced several
books that put him in the forefront of
students of the race problem And,
we might add, We are not praising the
Editor Of The Carton because he com
mended The Globe.
The pleasant relations existing be-
tween The Globe and The Clarion
might be emulated by q number of
business institutions run by colored
men in this city. To those in business
we would recommend such pleasant re-
lations as tonic. It will help to
keep the race well. The article in The
Clarion is as follows:
The Clarion would like to com
mend to the Negro young men in every
community the example of the young
men who founded and are operating

chose their fields, studied the tastes of
their constituency and sought ITO rem

What is stickler? One who magni-
fes small things when such magnify
ing serves his purpose. One who will
make mountain out of a mole-hill for
unfair dishonest and selfish ends.
Such men are met with in the expert
ence and dealings of every man some
where, some how and somewhen along
the journey of his life. We meet with
the word "sticlller" everyday in some
form or other in the public print. It
is Characterization anything but COM
plimentary to the person meant. There
are some men, who, in there own esti-
nation, tower above their fellows the
very Colossus of Rhodes, but, in fact,
had they the happy faculty of due pro-
portion and would measure themselves
by their dealings with their fellows,
they would see themselves minified
into very pigmies.

ROOSEVELT IN THE SOUTH.

The most remarkable thing about
Roosevelt's trip down the Mississippi
and through the South is the ovation
he has received from the Southern peo-
pie wherever he has stopped. Mem
phis, which received him few years
ago in silence and some hoodlums, it
is asserted, even went so far as to
address insulting remarks, received
him with opened arms. The city was
decorated in his honor more general
ly than ever before in its history. The
same thing has happened wherever
Mr. Roosevelt has stopped in the South.
In Nashville great preparations are
being made for the entertainment OF
the President. Some of the hotheads
who were most violent in denouncing
Mir. Roosevelt on account of the Crum
appointment, the Indianola incident,
the Booker Washington affair, are now
the leaders in preparing for the visit.
Why all this change of sentiment in
such a short space of time? Are the
Rooseveltian policies more popular
than they were before? We think not,
for Mir. Roosevelt is still chasing
thieves in high places with just as
MI 10 alonTod tho
Post Office of large number Of graft
ers. His pet policy of fighting or reg
ulating the railroads, is not so pOpu-
lar in this section as to make him be
received with all the glad acclaim
which he has met wherever he has
stopped. Nor can the welcome be cred
tied to any Of his policies. Mr.. ROose-
welt is a shrewd politician. He felt
hurt that he, half Southerner, should
be so severely criticized by the South
on account of such of his actions as in
the Booker Washington dinner. AS
Mr.. Taft says the President would
deem it one of the browning events Of
his life if he could break the "Solid
South" that is, have a republican elect
ed in one of the states that seeded
from the Union.
Roosevelt offended the South or the
southern politicians very grievously
by his tenacity in holding to some of
his appointments, but he has more
than regained the goodwill of the
whites of this section by his actions
in the Brownsville case. Brownsville,
in fine, is the whole secret of Theodore
Roosevelt's great reception in the
South

porter of all the doings of Booker

odd times, an employee in one of the
departments at Washington, is of the
opinion that the sentiment of the col

welt or Taft for President He makes
the assertion that when the Senate
Committee, which investigated the
Brownsville affair, shall have reported,
the administration, recognizing the er-
ror of its way, will give the colored
troopers a square deal. Though we
have been unable to detect it, there
may be a change of sentiment among
the colOred people as to the Browns
vile affair. AS a race we are so for
giving that we ought to merit all the
blessings mentioned in the Sermon on
the Mount. 1t all depends on ones

The Negro race throughout the
world is losing so much because of
its failure to take just such steps.
The race that fails to learn the les
son of combination is doomed to be
laggard race forever.
Young men, combine. Combine for
any and all worthy purposes. See that
each one fills the niche for which he is
best qualified.
Work faithfully. Treat your part
ners fairly in all things.
Let the young men of the race fill
this prescription and take a full dose
of it and the race will get well.
The Clarion says so and it knows.

COMMUNICATIONS.
TO The Nashville Globe:

Nashville is rapidly developing into
a metropolitan city. New methods are
being introduced, and it is apparent
to the most casual observer that new
blood is controlling the affairs of the
city. There is no city in the South
that has grown so rapidly in the last
ten years and none that needs more to
be awakened to the demands of the
people along certain lines. Thirty
years ago an electric car system like
the one here now would have been an
inconvenience rather than a necessity,
but to-day a stranger and even the citi-
zens here would be lost in city of
this size without a method of trans,
portation in keeping with the rapid
march of progress.

the control of Fortune & Peterson to
the Age Publishing Co., corporation,
the owners of the majority of the
stock of which were dissatisfied with
the editorial policy of the brilliant
Fortune. Though other causes are
assigned. 1t appeared, even before
the rumor that Mr.. Fortune was to re-
tire gained currency, that influence
was being brought to bear to change
the editorial policy of the paper The
Age, which had always bristled with
opinions-opinions so characteristic
that one could detect the personality
of "Tim" Fortune in every paragraph
became as changeable as if the edi-
torial policy was directed by an ane-
mocracy.
From a life long implacable foe to
the use of the word Negro" the edi-
tor of the Age condescended to permit
the use of the word in the news col
umns of his paper with the under
standing that it should be capitalized.
Another change made by the Age at
tracted a deal of attention. In an
editorial, in which a letter from a
prominent friend of Mr.. Fortune adj
vised him to quit complaining about
the injustices heaped upon the Negro
and emphasize the good things the Ne
gro was doing and receiving from his
friends, the editor of the Age, after a
period of time equal to almost the life
time Of the average man spent in de-
Tending the civic rights of the race,
announced that the policy of the pa
per would be changed so as to accord
with the suggestions made by his emil
nent friend.
Such a remarkable change in Tim"
Fortune was a source of surprise to his
friends and admirers. They knew that
he had got religion" but did not
think that Christianity would work
such a change in a man of Mr.. For
tunes age. So they gave credit to
the report that in the reorganization
of The Age, Mr.. Booker Washington
had secured a big slice of the COM
pany's stock and was trying to direct
its editorial policy. Whether Mr.. For
tune retired of his own sweet will on
account of poor health, or whether he
has been gently showed out Of The Age,
we don't know, but we sincerely hope
that in leaving the editorship of pos
sibly the greatest Negro weekly in the
country, he will not be forced to say
with Cromwell:
IF had but served my God with
one-half the zeal with which | served
my king, He would not have left me
naked in mine old age to my enemies. "
