 Of the strength our children yield; That the child of the land may also stand
 Secure beneath the shield Of State grown sick of traffic,
 From city and village and plain, That would barter the treasure of ages
 For moment of brutal gain.

The reports of the boards at the
Southern Baptist Convention, recent
ly in session in the city of Richmond,
showed progress in all lines OF their
work. The contributions for Foreign
Missions last year was S4O3,S11, sum
far in excess of that in any previous
year and nearly five times as much
as was raised twenty years ago; the
increase in Home Missions over that
of last year was $50, 422; the receipts
by the Sunday School and Bible
Board was S161 ,349 and the depart
ment of Evangelism was reported a
decided success, resulting in acces-
sions of a thousand or more to the
church. Excellent results in fact
were reported in every department
of Baptist work, and the Convention
put itself upon record in no uncertain
way in the cause of education A re
solution was adopted, which practical
" committed the convention to the
establishment of great university
Hot Springs, Ark, was reported as
the place for the next convention.

Hon. William j. Bryan is reported
as saying, that he will not accept a
nomination from the Democratic par
tv if Mr.. Roosevelt is renominated
and for the reason, that the President
more nearly represents the policies
for which he stood in 1896 and 1900
than any other man. The utterance
attributed to him is probably incor-
rect, but if true he is not a good
enough Democrat to be the standard
bearer of his party. No one is entltl-
ed to the name of a democrat, much
less the endorsement of his party, who
ignoring its presidents, favors the
candidacy of anyone for third term
for President, and that man is a poor
democrat, indeed, who is willing to
accept such a substitute as is offered
in Mr. Roosevelt. While true there is
much that he stands for, which com
mands the approval of all the people
of this country, there is much too in
his career that no true democrat can
approve and many republicans con
denim. For instance, no one who loves
his country, unless he is such blinc
partisan that he will not see the
dangers that threaten it, can approve
his efforts to encroach upon the rights
of the States and centralize all power
in the government at Washington. NJ
one can say that he is to be trustee
altogether, who has watched his caree
in the reforms which he has promised
and no democrat surely will approx
his course in matters of tariff revision
and railroad regulation. He has beer
for both but at this time tits general.
understood and not disputed, that h
has yielded completely to the "stand
patters' in the former, and now favor
legislation which will placate railroa
CORPORATIONS and win back their SUI
port to him in the next presidentis
election. The truth is, that Nj
Roosevelt, with all his good impulses
is too much of a politician for any on
to trust him too far and Mr.. Brya
surely is a man of too much ability
be fooled by him and to be willing
trust the affairs of the government
his hands for another four years.

In an address before large audi
ence of business men in Petersburg,
Friday of last week, on labor condl-
tions in the South, part of which Is
piven below, President Johnson, Of
the Norfolk & Western Railroad,
voiced the sentiment, doubtless, OF
most of the white people of Virginia.
There is, as be stated, no desire on
their part to deprive the negroes OF
the opportunity of making an honest
living, but if they will not make
good" laborers must be sought else
where who will render them more
faithful and efficient service. There
can be no question that they concur
with his views in the following:
have naught to say against that
class of labor upon which this State
and other states of the South have
been dependent for so many. years
but the handwriting is on the wal
and, in the forcible language OF thu
day, it is inevitable that unless thu
negro makes good, the day of his EN-
ployment as the chief factor in TIT
labor question of this section is draw
ing to a close.
From my own observation, it doe
not appear to me that it is the desir
of the white people of Virginia tina
the negro shall be excluded from tn
opportunity of earning an honest ant
honorable living in those vocations o
life to which his character, training
and habits are best suited, or in an,
calling in which his efficiency is mad
plain, but it is fact that our peopl
are no longer satisfied with inefficien
and unfaithful laborers and, unles
the race who have for so many year
had the monopoly of the labor sltua
ton in the South shall prove NOR
satisfactory and reliable than ha
been the condition during the pas
wears it must be realized that moder
progress demands that the work sha
be done-by the negro, if he will q
it-by others if he will not.
