NEGRO EDUCATION IN THE
SOUTH,

SOUTH.
In the course of Lincoln d;ly adj
dress Rev. DR.. Winslow Adams, the
pastor of Methodist church in Schc-
ncctady, n. y. which is one OF the
largest and most influential in the
East, stated that the best monument
that could bs erected for Lincoln was
the educa'ion of the blacks In the
South. There can te only one infer
enco drawn from the speech of DR..
Adams and that is that the negro Is
suffering from want OF education; in
other words. that the South is ne
glecting the education of the blacks.
We presume that Dr. Adams remarks
were based on Ignorance OF the actual
condition of affairs MS they now pre-
vail and have prevailed since the war.
and perhaps II Will be just as well to
cnlightcn him SO that in the future he
will not allow his hearers to arrive
At conclusion that the negro Is be-
ing totally neglected.
II Ia fact plainly shown by the
stailhtlcal records that up to the year
1900 the governments OF the several
commonwealth In the South had ex-
pended. despite the impoyershmcnt
resulting from the civil war, more
than $aOO,Oo0.OO0 on negro schools
and more than ninety per cent. of
this money was raised from the take
paid by the white people of the South
This is n fact quite we'll understood
by n small number of we'll informed
and broad minded people In the North
but II does not appear TO be known ia
the Northern people generally. or Il
It is. it is judiciously ignored. The
truth Is that the Ieople of the South
have placed the negroes In a better
condition so far as the chances OF M
education are concerned. than any
but the most prosperous class OF
whites. All the advancement the ne
groes OF the South have made they
owe 10 the white man and most OF II
to the white man OF the South. The,

actual snvagery by the industrial
training received during the years OF
slavery, and now their children are
being educated Mt the white man.
expense and their youths of colleg,
age are free to enjoy educational adj
vantages such rs are not within reacl
Of the poorer classes OF whites In the
South. All things considered, IN,
Southern negroes have been remarka-
bly, we'll taken care of. although they
and their sentimental friends OF tn,
North are apparently unable to ap.
preciate 1t. Perhaps the education
! OF the negroes would lie flttlni
monument TO Lincoln. and If the pro
jec; vas attempted the South wonlt
not put any barrier In the way, bu
! just the same ii Is very human ant
very natural that the people OF thu
South want to be given credit fol
what they have done for the blacks.

TAFT'S
WIFE SPEAKS
SCORES DIVORCE IN SEVERE
TERMS AND CREATES SENSA-
TION.-DEFENDS THE HOME.

New York, June 23.-That divorce
is the greatest evil of the American
nation today is the statement made
here by Mrs. Taft, wife of the repub-
lican. presidential nominee, and all
society is agog over some pointed re-
marks made by the wife OF the man
just now uppermost in the public
mind.
Yes; if it were in my power, di-
vorce would be stopped altogether" J"
said Mrs. Taft. of course, there are
cases where separation might be le-
gally granted, but there should be
no re-marriage allowed. The laxity
of our divorce laws is a menace to
the very moral fibre of our nation.
ITO begin with, if divorces are to
be granted at all, there should be a
uniform divorce law for the states
for the nation-and then there would
be no opportunity to evade it as is
being done al the present time.
I'VE might build up the greatest
navy in the world so we might have
the good will of every ruler of the
earth; we might have a credit and
commerce unparalleled in the history
of nations; but when within the
homes of our country there is a NOR
al laxity and family ties can be bro
ken in a twinkling through proc
ess of law that is looked upon as
matter of course-just as one would
file will or deed-there is a greater
danger to the country than could
come from a war with foreign ma
tiOns."
Mrs. Taft declared that she does
not believe in a business life for d
woman.
"A happy marriage is the most
useful life for any woman" she said.

bRYAN'S NEWEST
SCHEME
WILL USE PHONOGRAPH FOR
10 CAMPAIGN ADDRESSES INTO
TALKING MACHINE.

Orange, n. J., June 22.-William
Jennings Bryan has just made anoth-
er move which will carry JOY to his
without interest to those who oppose
him and his ideas.
Bryan has found a way to give his
best speeches in the greatest num-
Der of American homes in the short
est possible time, and that is by
means of the Edison phonograpa.
Some time ago he was approached
with the suggestion that he make
some records for the Edison phono-
graph. Naturally Bryan refused, but
when it was pointed out that in no
way could he address so many Amer
lean people as through the wonder
full medium of the phonograph, he
saw it's possibilities at once.
1t was pointed out to him that a
single popular Edison record fire.
quently sells up into hundreds of
thousands, and that a hundred hear
ers for a single record is a ridicu-
lously small allowance, but thai, TAX
ing these figures, record which sells
a hundred thousand would have ten
million hearers. Bryan realized that
in no way could he get so close to
the hearts and minds of the people,
not even through his own publica
tion, the Commoner, as he could by
putting into every home an exact re-
production of a part of one of his
speeches delivered with his own
voice, with his own emphasis and
with his own Interpretation.
The result was that a special ex-
pert was sent to Nebraska, and in
Bryan's library were made ten rec
ords, each record consisting of an ex-
tract from one of Bryan's speeches.
The selections were made by Bryan
himself, and comprises just what he
most wishes to say to the public.

want them here to run our town for

running the town, and when we need

Now, Mr.. Editor, we know, and so
do you, that there is some man or
business men backing them in it
who are supposed to be our best
friends, and we would not make
them mad for the price of a good,
square meal, but tell them that they
are encouraging policy which they
will one day regret. Pour it into
them, and if they want to know aw-
fully bad who wrote this you may
tell them; but if they ask you, tell
them lit was white man inside out,
