SHIPPERS CAN GET JOINT RATES.

1t Is said that on one railroad, the
Great Western, has made joint rate
with the Colfax and Northern, taking
freight out of Colfax at the same rate
as tho II were carried over one line or
road. Heretofore the sum OF two short
distance locals has been charged. Inc
explanation is made that the roads are
disposed to make Joint rates in special
cases to avoid the necessity OF the
railroad commission establishing a
blanket joint rate for all of Iowa.
The Colfax case offers suggestion
to every shipper in Iowa. If he wants
a font rate over some road that does
not touch his town let him apply for
lit. Marshslltown shippers should get
busy for joint rates with the Milwau-
kee. the Illinuois Central and the Rock
Island roads E,ldora shippers should

THE CURSE OF COLOR.

Among those upon whom the state
university Of Iowa will confer we'll
earned and honorable degrees this
week are three negroes, Laurence
Jones, of Marshalltown; Edward A.
Garter, of Oskaloosa and w. Thompson
of Des Moines. Jones receives the de-
gree of bachelor of arts, the second
of his race to be thus honored by the
University of Iowa. Thompson, that
of doctor of pharmacy, and Garter adds
10 the degree of B. Phi. won by him in
1903, that Of doctor of medicine. In
each case these men have helped
themselves Jones worked in a Mar
shalltown hotel as waiter and was
self-supporting during his high school
course Garter has dug his education
out of the coal mines as laborer be-
sides assisting to support his fathers
family He is the first negro to take
a degree from the medical school of the
university.
Here are three strong. capable and
determined men of whom the state
may be and is proud How great their
handicap OF racial characteristics and
the burden of prejudice against their
color has been is evidenced by the
fact that each of these men is pion-
Ger in his department. They are types,
the first of their race to achieve in the
university of this state. They have
met every difficulty that white men
overcome and carried the curse of

From 1897 to 1907 the cost OF the

beaten only by Germany in percentage

H. II. Tucker, Jr.. secretary OF the
Uncle Sam Oil Company. Of Kansas,
did very indiscreet thing the other
day. Tucker is under Indictment for
fraud in connection with the manage
ment OF that company. He filed an at
fidavit in the United States circuit
court at IIeavenworth in support Of an
application for change Of venue. In
the affidavit he charged that the Santa
Fe, Burlington, Kansas City Southern,
ST. Louis and San Francisco and other
railway companies had formed
conspiracy to prejudice Judge Pollock,
Of the district Of Kansas, Judge John
F. Phillips of the western district of
Missouri, and Judge Smith Mcpherson,
Of the southern district Of Iowa,
against the Uncle Sam company and
in favor Of the railway companies and

merits. averred that Judges Pollock.

Our army expenses rose from $2S.-

he could not safely throw anything

vors disarmament, but selfish interest
prompts the Understanding proposal
with which she would embarrass an
enemy. Her navy is more than double
the strength of Germany':s; and Ger
many is forging ahead faster in wealth
and population than herself. To main
tain the same ratio, as she suggests,
would be to give her permanent COM
mand of the sea. The kaiser refuses
the bait. His idea Of disarmament
would be for England to wait till his
own navy reached a size proportionate
to Germany's importance. To. the
cheers of the music halls the British
admiralty lays down another Dread
nought in order to Illustrate Prussian
wickedness.
oh, Germany is bad, very bad. She
ought to be licked, all the British and
French dovecotes agree. But no one
volunteers. Only the miraculous Wig
lance of the British press s'cotching all
plots has kept the German army from
arriving in London some morning with
the milk trains and vegetable wagons.

an apter name than that given it by

their color. To be sure there have
probation offered, but not true COM
partnership. Such relation rarely exists
between the races and especially in the
north where we argue equality and act
the opposite. However men may have
spoken, the barrier of color has never
for one moment been lifted. The men
who won at Iowa City are aliens,
despite their citizenship, and bore the
burden of aliens. They knew 1t and
were not deceived by those who de-
ceived themselves. And this doubles
their victory and its value to them
selves and their people.
What opportunity have these men
who struggled and won in q country
where their color is the black badge
of inferiority and previous condition
of servitude2 What Iowa school is
reaching out for the first black man to
become a bachelor Of arts by grace or
the state university? VIII the negro
pharmacist find an opening In Mar
shalltown or Waterloo? What chance
for practice has the colored physician?
They have carried the curse of color
thru their formative period. They need
expect no improvement Of these con-
ditions. The white man doesn't call
the negro into his family. The negro
does call the white physician. The
men who conquered so much in their
school days have harder task to meet
In the competition of practice. The
curse OF color holds as 1t always must
and the field of opportunity appears
limited.
1t is not, however. The opportunity
OF the negro physician, educator and
professional man Of all classes Is as
illimitable as his duty. He belongs to
his race aud iHneeds him. His practice,
his brains and Judgment, knowledge
and heart all belong to his people and
their future. Each should look for his
practice and his business among his
own people. II these men who are to
come out of Iowa this week, the peers
of their white classmates are types
Of the best that is In their race, much
is required Of them. Their duty is
great as their capabilities and their
opportunity. The hope Of their race
is within them. 1t can not exist on this
continent half brute and wholly ig-.
norant. It's Carriers and Jones and
Thompsons must lift it up and on.
Otherwise they fail and their race
fails
No greater opportunity ever offered
If these men have learned along with
their other lessons the highest lesson
of duty they will go far and rise high
in the councils Of their people and the
respect of the race that insists on its
own superiority. 1t is one kind OF
martyrdom but they must endure ut.
IL they remain true to themselves
They must build up about themselves
the society they need. They must come
to their own, not with the white mans
pity or contempt but with a. belief In
the ultimate aud acceptance Of the
present. Thus shall they succeed and
their curse Of color prove a blessing.
otherwise they must fail.
