coLoRED INDUSTRIAL VILLAGE.

A n the annual conference OF the Union Airl-
L n can Methodist Episcopal Church in this city
plans were discussed looking to the founding OF an
industrial village for colorcd boys. The success
f,l institution of Booker r. Washington at lus-
legee Alabama, on smaller scale, is to be taken
as model 1t is highly probable that the confer
ence. which already has done much for the colored
youth. will be enabled to push the project under
consideration to successful completion.
The conference already has an industrial school
on East Ninth street in the city and its success
has led to the consideration of the advisabity OF
occupying a larger field OF usefulness. There Is
no doubt that many charitably disposed persons,
some of those who have done a great deal for edu-
cation OF the southern youth of the south in the
efforts to make themuseful citizens, will aid nthis
work. There is as much ned for such an institu-
ton in this neghborhood as there is almost any
were in the south.
The good thing about the matter is that the col
or epdeople are taking the initiative and propose
to help themselves.
The leaders Of the conference are intelligent col
ored people are taking the initiative and propose
heart When it is seen that they are up and doing
Tor themselves they will get the necessary aid all
the quicker.
The plan is not impractical at all. 1t has been
tried in the south and in our own State at Clayton
is an industrial village under the auspices of the
Roman Catholic Church There is no reason, ex-
cept through lack Of funds, why the plans of
Bishop Ruley and his associates should not be
successful and the securing OF the money should
not be an insurmountable obstacle.

RAILWAY CAR SHORTAGE.

TQ EPORTS from the west show that the rail-
AN road companies are overburdened with
business. Itis estimated that there is a shortage
of $4,000 cars compared with the demands made
upon the companies for transportation facilities
during last February. This announcement was
made at the meeting of the American Railway
Association held in Chicago. 1t was declared that
the problem was the gravest that the railroads
have had to face. The railway men in their in
vcstigations learned that the shortage was not
due to a decreased efficiency but to the "ex-
traordinary demands made upon the railroads.
In other words business is prospering that
the companies are unable to supply transportation
facilities that are imperatively needed The only
way the trouble can be rcmcdied is by securing
more cars which means more employment for
labor and capital
Another point brought out at the meeting of
the railroad magnates was that it was believed
that many of the recent disastrous wrecks on the
railroads were due to imperfect rails the rails
being imperfect because of the haste OF the steel
mills in filling orders.
The railway managers will demand that they
shall secure equally as good rails as those that
arc furnished to the Canadian Pacific railroad by
the Steel Trust These considered the best
steel rails in use and there is no reason why the
steel trust should discriminate against the Ameri
can companies in supplying this product upon
which depends the safety Of the travelling public.
Evidence mulhplies throughout the country
that the fight has begun in earnest against the
candidacy of Secretary Taft for the Republican
nomination for President. Looked upon the
choice of Mr. Roosevelt the enemies of the Pres
dent those upon whose toes he has walked, are
lining up in every direction against Taft One
OF the curious phases of the campaign, so far as
it has developed, is the attempt of the financial
elements to array the colored vote solidly against
the president But their efforts in this direction
will be no more successful than has been the at
tempt OF the Hartman clique to discredit Mr..
Roosevelt in other places.

Cainiiness In CIothinq Gifts.

In the giving of Christmas gifts thcro is so much difference in the appearanc, of the outside daintiness and the ordi nary wrapper, says the editor of Ma dame, that l would suggest to my reat. CTS that whenever possible clothc yoUr gifts in fancy covering. Dainty color ed tissue paper tied with baby ribbon in contrasting and harmonizing colorS, with spray of holly tucked in the bow, will speak of the senders inter est. Again large envelopes of lowered crape paper or Japanese napkins tied with tinsel cord and spray of thistle toe is a novel device for sending gifts. You should do this to the home gifts as well as to those which go to outside friends. It would also be nice to in close Christmas card or send with the gift some appropriate and persona quotation. It expresses a special greet ing.
