The Opportunity of the Negro.

A survey of all the peoples of the
earth does not reveal a counterpart
for the opportunity now open 70
the colored youth of America. Here
are not less than 100000 persons
eager for the right kind of leader
ship. Earnest and helpful as the
guidance &C the whites has been the
great progress Of the negroes waits
on leaders from their own race.
Booker Washington would seem TO
have demonstrated that the time
was ripe, But if anyone has any
doubt on that ground, let him con-
slider the experience of another
negro as he has himself reported it
TO Hampton Institute, Thomas c.
Walker is a resident Of Gloucester
Court House, Va. \ more typical
community as far as the blacks are
concerned would be hard TO find.
The farm land is none too good,
laziness and drink are the two &C
tive enemies to the Negroes advance,
and the schools have been almost
negligible factors.
To this community Walker went
as a graduate of Hampton-of the
class of 1883. He induced the teach
ers of Gloucester every year to give
S. each to a school fund. With
that as a nucleus he persuaded the
colored farm hands to raise 5000.
The school term was heightened by
IA month. A Gloucester Educational
Association was formed. And now
the association has added two weeks
more TO the school term.
This would seem to justify faith
that there was work for every
trained negro brain. But 1t is only
a link in a chain. Last year 1873
negro schools in Virginia added a
month TO the school year, while IS
others improved their equipment.
In one year the blacks have raised
over $4,000 for the betterment of
the educational facilities open to
their children. Here and there the
negroes of more means have Joined
to give their personal notes to obtain
special supplies. Not the least note
worthy feature of the movement is
that the colored professional men
have generally co-operated with
their artisan brothers, and that the
two classes have worked together
harmcniously, theoretically, pro-
duetively.
In the trades, commerce, building,
and architecture, the opportunity
equals that in education, and in any
one of the five fields the prospect
Eeasonably open to the colQred

A Source of New Strength.

James Schoolcraft Sherman, of
Utica, n. Y, is not a concession.
He is an accession, a source of new
strength for the Republican ticket,
almost as fortunate a selection as
that of Mr.. Taft. For in naming
this man as candidate for the Vice
Presidency. the Chicago convention
has eliminated all doubt as TO the
zeal with which the allies" will
support the ticket, has enlisted as a
principal one of the strongest cam
paigners in the party. and has made
a practical certainty of the previous
likelihood that the Empire State
would be carried against Mr.. Bryan.
But there is more than political
expediency in the selection. Mr..
Sherman is worthy of the honor.
Though a practical politician, and
always an organization man, he has
yet been a stronger influence than
many active independents for pure
election methods. Long before he
was chosen TO membership on the
House Committee on Rules, he had
made himself one of the leaders of
the House through the skill with
which he was organizing and man
aging Republican campaigns for
seats in Congress. and in that work
he never lost opportunity to prove,
as the President has sought to
prove, that party affiliations did not
mean affiliations with the descredits
of the party alone.
If elected to preside over the Sen
ate-and that now seems more than
HkeIy-Mr. Sherman may be ex-
pected to surprise some Of the older
members of the upper house. For
generations the Vice President has
been a spokesman merely while sit
ting in the Senate The body has
made the rules, a clerk has inter
preted them, and the Senate has
observed them or disregarded them
as it chose. But here is a man
whose knowledge Of parliamentary
procedure equals that of any clerk,
whose personal force is none the
less for being exercised without
seeming antagonism, and who has
earned through ten Congresses the
confidence of his fellows for an in
tirlate and accurate information on
the substance of American legisla-
tiou. When the Chicago convention
Of 1908 hit upon Jim" Sherman for
second place on the ticket it q
not choose a nonentity, and the re-
alization of that fact will continue
TO strike in long after the campaign
has ended.

youth surpasses that open to him IN
the law, in politics, in the ministry,
in any of the other professions save
medicine alone. Paul Laurence Dun
bar and S. T. Coleridge-Tayior have
proven that there is no color line in
the arts. but the need for artisans,
merchants, educators. and workmen
in the other more practical fields is
so much greater that where the
colored boy or girl has the ability
for organization, which is the prime
essential 10 leadership, his oppor-
tunity may in all reason be de
scribed as practically unlimited.

To Take the Idle to Work.

The National immigration League
wants Congress TO enact law pro
viding free transportation to immi-
grants and native Americans of the
laboring classes who go from the
congested TO the appropriated re-
gions of the United States with the
intention of settling in the latter.
The league calls attention TO the
fact that several South American
countries provide such transporta-
ton and profit by it. The general
manager of the league reports that
large numbers of unemployed are
looking for such transportation TO
fields calling for labor. The vari-
Gus agencies which are setting
about plans for the relief Of the IN
employed" he says, would accom-
pIish the most good if they confined
their energies to finding work for
idle people"
We already have State employ
ment Offices in America, and no
doubt In many cases the free trans
Portation advocated by the league
would be a good investment for the
Government. It would reasonably
yield a good return in the shape Of
an increase in the products of in
dustry and a consequent increase in
the country's wealth. 1t would un-
doubtedly save many a man now
idle from degradation and possibly
from self-destruction.
The general manager of the
league speaks of this plan as prom

SEA EVAPORATING
IN GREAT DESERT
Colorado's Strange Body of Water
Said TO Be Losing Eight
Inches a Month.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 20.-Reports
just made TO the Southern Pacific Com
pany by its experts. after an extended
series Of observations. show that the
Salton Sea In the Colorado desert is
evaPoratinE at an average Of from six
20 eizht inches per month. and that the
existence Of that body OF water Is
having no apPreciable effect on climatic
conditions on the desert.
To prevent water from the river flow
ing into the Volcano Lake country and
then menacing the Imperial valley
through New River the railroad people
are building a levee about ten miles In
length and twelve feet in height. BY
this means the overflow will be turned
away from Volcano Lake
Railroad officials saw one important
discovery IN that desert country is the
finding Of wells OF water fit for do
mestic use at depths ranging from 80
TO 200 feet. All along the people there
have been using for household purposes
the river water after allowing It to
settle.

with the problem of the unem-
ployed. He does not say Il viii put
an end to that problem. For it is
well known that many of the So
called unemployed are always dodg-
ing work. There were armies" of
men out of work in New York, Chi
cago, Boston, and other cities last
winter, but when the authorities
pointed TO the free employment If
fee only a corporars guard went
and applied for jobs. Besides this
class of unemployed, there is an
other class that would rather starye
in the city than flourish iii the coun-
try. The big city is 3 powerful
magnet to the average person with
little ambition and less energy.
II is yet true there are always
unemployed men around who would
not long be in that fix if they had
the means of reaching farms and
factories advertising for help. The
idea of establishing free employ
ment bureaus was not successfully
launched until it was proved that
without some assistance from a
Government expecting its citizens
to be orderly and self-respecting
the friendless and perhaps penniless
man looking for work could not
very well hope for success. One of
the labor unions a few days ago
urged the abolition of employment
offices, on the ground that unions
can or should take care of their
own. The difficulty is that such a
method would not fit the case of the
men without a trade; and they are
the men who constitute the bulk Of
the unemployed.

SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE 20. 1905
For the Beauty Ofthe Avenue.

The plan of the architects to pro
vide for the harmonious and effec-
tive decoration of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. on March + next begins at the
beginning. They propose a compe-
tition, with suitable prizes, TO OBJ
tain a series of different designs;
and, having provided the material,
they count upon the cooperation Of
the business men who will have
charge Of that feature of the cere-
mony TO put it to use. Of this
they seem now 10 be assured, since
representatives of the two leading
business bodies of the District have
undertaken 20 procure 5000 of the
$500 desired for the prizes.
Without care, however, all this
effort MAJ be wasted. And the need
for care is greatest on the part of
the business men. Suppose the COM
petition yields an attractive and
feasible scheme. Suppose the prac-
tice of other inaugurations is fol-
low d. Then this is what viii hap
pen:
A con mittee on decorations will
undertake TO fulfill the scheme; a
committee on grandstands and res
eTvations viii undertake to bend IL
until it conforms with the independ-
ent judgment Of the committeeman
as 10 the space and form required
for stands; a committee on illumi-
nation viii after nightfall introduce
independent colors into it at indie
pendent intervals.
The sensible course is TO provide
from the first that these three fea-
lures Of decoration shall be under
one control. The only practical
means of attaining that result Is
TO combine these three committees
and see to il in advance that a ma
jority of the members have the
taste, the experience, and the skill
10 execute a unified, comprehensive.
and simple plan so that it shall
yield a maximum of result.
