BY IGNATIUs j. DUNN.

He was honest, brave and un-
yielding before he was known
to fnme; he Is honest, brave and
uDyieIding now.
He has always been the friend
of labor and was among the
first to urge Cancellation be-
tween labor and capital.
He began to oppose govern
ment by Injunction more than a
decade ago.
Through years of unparalleled
political warfare his loyalty to
his ideals and to his fellow men
has cen abundanf1y shown.
His career proves that sue
cesSfuI leadership is determined
by success or failure of grent
principles rather than by cleo
tiOn to high office.
Speaking and writing freely
on all subjects, his heart has
had no secrets and his friends
hnve increased in numbers and
confidence.

BOOKER 7. WASHINGTON

The World of August 20 prints a
signed statement from Booker T.
Washington made at Baltimore Au-
gust 20 in which the negro educator
comments at length upon recent lyn-
chings. In his statement Mr.. Wash
ingtOn says.
within the past sixty days twenty
five negroes have been lynched IN
different parts Of the United States
OF this number only four Of the
twenty-five were even charged with
criminal assault upon women. How
long can our Christian civilization
stand this? l am making not special
plea for the negro, innocent or guilty,
but l am calling attention TO the
danger that threatens our eiyiliza-
ton.
For the negro criminal, and espec-
tally for the negro loafer, gambler
and drunkard, have nothing but
the severest condemnation and TO
legal punishment is too severe for
the brute that assaults a woman.
mo doubt the people who engage
in lynchings. and excuse them, believe
that they will have the effect CT
striking terror to The guilty. But
who shall say whether the persons
lynched are guilty? That is what
courts are for. Those who have ex-
amined into the facts know only too
well that in the wild justice Of the
mob it is frequently the innocent man
who is executed.
Mob justice undermines the very
foundations upon which our civiliza-
ton rests, viz, respect for the laws
and COZ fidence of its security. There
are, in my opinion, two remedies
first Of all, let us unite in a deter
mined effort everywhere to see that
the Law is enforced; taat all people at
all times and all places see that the
man charged with crime is given a
fair trial.
Secondly, let all good citizens unit
in an effort to rid the communities,
especially of the large cities, of the
idle, vicious and gambling element.
"And in this connection 1t would
not b. just and would not be frank
unless stated that the better Of
the black race could use their influ-
ence, especially in the cities, to see
that the idle element that lives by
its wits without permanent or reii-
able occupation or place of abode is
either reformed or gotten rid OF in
some manner. In most cases 1t is
this element that furnishes the pow
der OF these explosions"

ROOSEVELT FOR THE FARMERS

President Roosevelt has Just issued
one Of his most important state
rapers in the shape of letter up
on the improvement of farm life
among the people of the United
States.
His idea is that he people who
live in the country. good and happy
rs they are, do not yet get by any
means all the good out of life that
they should. He desires that they
should not only have better crops,
but that they should have more Of
the home comforts and home joys
which will keep the boys on the
farm. and make It seem worth while
~ them to stay there. Here are
one or two Of the things he says in
this wonderful paper:
The farmers have hitherto had
less than their full share Of public
attention along the lines OF business
and social life. There is too much
belief that the prizes OF life lie
away from the farm.
He therefore invites several prom
inent men 10 make an investigation
or the whole matter OF life in The
courtry and tell how it can be i'm
proved. Several OF these men are
old tr ends in Berea ana 1t has been
with their advice that President Frost
has introduced the special courses

COLLEGE EDUCATION PAYS

Sometimes you hear the idea OF
going to college scoffed at, but as
tc whether it is good or not, facts
will tell better than ali the theories
in Christendom. According to many
educators the demand for young men
fresh from the engineering and sci
entific schools has become so great
that the big corporations are bidding
against one another TO get the best
Of the graduates, those well schooled
in technical knowledge. The respon-
sibility for this is fixed upon the
change in the methods OF the big IN
dust-lsl corporations which in many
cases have set aside the old system
of having their experts climb up
from the lowest rung OF the ladder
The young men we'll trained in their
technical school are able TO begin
higher up, because they receive In
their college course practical expert
ence.
The chief engineer of one Of the
Zig telephone companies recently said;
Its a foot race between corpora
tions to see which will get to the
college first, and the concern that
is p slow starter doesn't get any
men at all. Some years ago our
man got around In April and found
that the General Electric and the
Westinghouse and others had been
there ahead Of him ana cleaned The
deck. II was no longer a question
whether the graduate could get job
OF not. and now it is actually impos-
slble to get the requisite number
of men to come in and learn our
business at a salary of SIS a week.
| have questioned these college stu
dents that we take in and was
surprised at first to find that it's
no aristocracy that we're getting
nowadays from those places. They
are the sons Of carpenters, machinists,
small tradesmen, thrifty workmen.
Under the ancient conditions they
couldn't have these advantages and
their children's children couldn't
have bad them.
"Its a great thing for them, but
ii is also a great thing for the
country, to draw the young men Of
these classes into these lines Of
effort, because they are strong and
fresh and filled with keen desire to
rise in accomplishment above the
level OF their forebearers. You can
see it when they start in. There's
nothing Of the dude about them.
There are no snobbish notions. They
know what hard work means, and
they get on the Job promptly. They
are amenable to discipline, too. and
that Is perhaps the greatest lesson
that modern organization teaches
obedience to somebody. responsible
ity to somebody. It's a hard road
TO travel. but It leads up.
"Of course under the present sys-
tenn a man has got to deliver the
goods or fall back for somebody else.
It's efficiency that wins. In the
old days, when companies were priv
ate affairs, it was all right for the
owner to find places in the works
for all his kin, whether they earn
ed their pay OF not. It was
his money and he colld do what he
pleased with II, but there is no
room for ornaments now, nor for
relatives unless they work their pas
sage and a little better Pathfinder.
