The season opened on Saturday and

The attempt of the concession men

MATTER OF FIRE ALARMS
An 'Emdee" Makes Suggestion That
MAY Solve Problem.

To the Editor Of the Journal Courier.
Slr-The matter OF fire alarms by
bells seems to be the latest topic for
discussion both by town-borns and
aliens, and I have a proposition to
suggest, 1t is that the first alarm
shall be sounded only on the fire.
house circuit, and that second and
subsequent alarms be sounded on the
tower circuit That would give the
citizens warning of really serious fire
In their respective neighborhoods-a
somewhat desirable thing--and 1t
would avoid rousing the whole city,
many from needed rest, for trilng
fire for which no fuss should be made.
Some such scheme might be tried for
awhile, If only as a preliminary step
to the entire abolition OF the tower

four years from now at most, the fur.

turned with common accord on the
rights of negroes. Our constitutional
safeguards have been undermined al.

THE CHOICE OF THE WEST.


The nearness of the general confer
ence of the African Methodist church
is orousing interest among not only
members of that connection, but the
whole race as well. The influence
which this denomination exerts on
our progress is too great for its quad
rennial meeting to be lightly consid-
cred by anyone who appreciates the
means by which the Negro must rise.
After the legislation the one thing
most engrossing is the election of
the general officers and new bishops.
The Mississippi states have al
ways had an enviable record in all de-
partments of the church work and
this year are a unit in asking that a
man from the West be given the high
est honor in the gift of the church

ary work. is their choice and the
gratifying compliments being given
him from all over the country, make
it seem likely that he will be chosen.
The West is the coming home of the
race. Our future is full of promise
here and the election of a man from
the West with his intimate knowl-
edge of the possibilities of this region
will enable the A NJ. E. Church to
take instant grip on the religious life
of this new empire to the greater
glory of God and helpfulness of the
race. DR.. Parks has recommended
himself to the church by his work in
mis- department and the unanimity of
his western associates in asking his
elevation to the bishopric ought to be
sufficient argument for the eastern
and southern brethren to give their
support to him.

that the inability of the employers to
make good the necessary number
quickly, would force the discharge of
all colored boys and the replacing of
white. There was an entertainment

due the dereliction of the boys Con
siderations of personal profit, the
future of themselves and their asso-
ciates, fidelity to their employers
were all forgotten-for a frolic. So
long as Negro youths, in whom the
| future of the race rests, have not the
| intelligence and foresight to see in
every new avenue of employment
means of demonstrating their ability,
what hope is there that industrial op-
portunity will increase? If we have
no sense of duty to employers, why
should we bewail the unwillingness OF
, white merchants to trust us? BY all
means let us have fun, but not to the
neglect of the serious things of life.
Instead of resolutions condemning
whites for their prejudice, let us edu-

He propounded republican doctrine
That caused new blood to flow

He told how Teddy fought the trusts
With all his might and main
How John D. r. had fought the poor
But now is very tame
Since he was fined by Teddy's judge
That all his schemes could not be
worked
Like many years ago.
He said protective tariff made fac
tories in our land
And made good wages for the poor
And for the help hand
He made the honest DENNY blush
And hang his head quite low
When he told of Bryn's free silver
scheme"
OF just ten years ago.
He spoke to union labor
And told them what he done
In passing laws for their relief
And challenged any one
To lay d finger on
An act or word he ever said
TO hurt the union labor men
Or toilers for their bread.

And man to strike the blow

He spoke of Bryan's good qualities
And of his bad ones too.
That how poor Billy realized
That every voter knew
He made an awful blunder
When from his tongue did 6ow
His wild cat scheme free silver
OF just ten years ago.
He told how Bryan tried to
