Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
Timely was the warning and sensi-
BILE the advice given to Northern ne
groes by Booker Washington in his
address before the Afro-American
Council in New York Thursday night.
ITO members of my race in the Nor
thern States" said he, ''let me utter
the caution that in your enthusiastic
desire to be OF service to your breth-
rem in the South you do not make
their path more thorny and difficult
by rash and incorporate utterances.
Be careful not to assist in lighting a
fire which you will have no ability to
put out" The negro has no worse
enemies than those of his own race,
located, be it said to the credit of the
Southern negro, almost exclusively in
the North, who never let slip an op-
portunity to inveigh against the al
legged ill-treatment of blacks by Sou.
thern whites, unless it be that limited
class of Northern whites typified by
Warren J. Keller, of Ohio. Such a
| course has served no other purpose
than to engender and keep alive race
prejudice to the injury and detriment
OF the negro, When Northern negroes
and whites of the Keifer stripe realize
this and leave the Southern negro to
work out his own destiny without
suggestion, advice or interference
from them, one OF the two principal
stumbling-blocks in the way of the
black mans progress and advance
ment and of correct solution of the
race problem will have been removed
The means of removing the other lies
in the more enlightened among
Southern negroes-the teachers and
preachers especially-following this
advice also emanating from Booker
Every iota OF influence which w
possess should be used to get rid o
the criminal and loafing element
among our people and to make de
cent, law-abiding citizens"

BELASCO AND
THE TRAITOR
Leading Woman Creates
Role of Stella.

David Belasco has a marvellous rec
ord in the making of feminine stars,
and with the story of Mrs. Carter
Blanche Bates and Frances Starr
wildly before her only the lure of a
great role could have persuaded Ca
Uterine Tower to leave the Belasco
forces to play the part of Stella in
THE Traitor the dramatic sequel
to The Clansman." What aceentua-
ties this action is the fact that for
the past two years Mr.. Belasco has
been carefully preparing Miss Tower
for the honors of stardom. In fact
it was his intention last season to
place her at the head of her own
company in THE Rose of The Ran
cho" to play the large cities which
Miss Starr could not visit because of
her prolonged engagements. AL
though for certain business reasons
this intention was not carried out
Mr.. Belasco has been assiduously
searching for play suitable to her
talents. When the dramatization of
The Traitor" was completed the
news of the splendid opportunity at
forded by the leading femme role
came to the ears of a member of Mr..
Belasco's staff, and when George H.
Brennan asked for the release of
Miss Tower to create this part Mr..
Belasco finally but reluctantly con-
scented. Although Miss Tower is but
eighteen years of age Mr.. Belasco is
reported to have expressed his be-
lief that she is the coming American
actress and her appearance here in
THE Traitor" at Glover's Opera House
on the night of November 18th, is
looked forward to with eagerness.

The sharpIess COmpan,'s Wage Cut
New Orleans states.l

Two weeks ago the press dispatches
announced that the Sharpless gepa-
rator Company of West Chester. pa
had posted a notice in its factory that
wages would be reduced il Mr.. Bry-
an were elected Now comes the
news that the concern has reduced the
wages OF about 300 skilled workmen
from 10 to 20 per cent. 1t is very
clear that the election of Mr.. BRYAN
had nothing to do with the action of
the company, for he has not vet been
elected, hence it is impossible Ia
avoid the conclusion that the COM
pany had decided to reduce wages in
any event, and made use of the pos
sible election of Mr.. Bryan as
mere pretext Commenting on this
wage cut the Indianapolis News
says:
Here again is one of those things
which really ought not to have come
TO pass till after the election But
the chance to make a little money
was so good that the company could
not wait even few days to improve
it. Judging by this action, we should
say that it is altogether likely that
wages will be reduced no matter who
is elected President Probably this
had been decided on at the time the
original statement was made. though.
OF course, there was an effort to
convince the men that the MAIN
tenance of their wages depended on
the outcome of the election. Thus
it was hoped both to pave the way
for a reduction and at the same time
to get political advantage out of the
announcement. But this program is
now spoiled, and what we see is
simply an ordinary reduction of
wages, reduction with which Bry-
ans election has nothing whatever
to do"
In spite of the fact that the Re-
publican policies and laws are still
in force, and the Republican mana
gers profess to be confident of vic
tory next Tuesday, this cut in wages
| comes. The threat has been carried
out, though the event that was sup
posed to have prompted it has not
happened. 1t shows, however, the
despicable hypocrisy as well as the
contemplate political spirit which
inspire the Republican programme of
coercion. esBM@
