WASHINGTON, June 26.--While oil

In the Days Of 1873

Hon. NJ. B. Walker the democrat
ic candidate for representative was
in town today. The reporter re-
members Mr.. Walker fist as a can
didate for the office OF commi sion.
at the time Stafford county was
organized. The commissioners wee
to be appointed. The governor was
a Republican and Walker was DEM
ocrat. 1t was agreed thai the reo-
pie should meet at the Gates school
house and vote on the question OF
commissioner.
Our uncle, ]. B. Smith Of Lincoln,
township was a candidate for this
office. He was as radical a republi-
can as Walker was a Democrat. Tie
election was carried on as fair as any
election could be, and notwithstandin
there were hardly enough Democrats
to count, Walker was selected by a
good majority. We remember one
thing in particular. They would not
let US vote because we were not q
years old, and that, together with
the fact that we were supposed to
vote for our uncle, cut US out of
, vote.
Walker looks today just as he
did then. Mr.. walker has never
been a candidate for any office thai
would pay his expenses. Our uncle
by the way, was elected County treas
urer and sreyed two terms. The
fact Of the business is that office
holding runs in the family, and we
had to leave the county in order to
let our relatives have chance
or rather so we would have some
show.
At the time the Walker people cu'
M. B. out of one vote by challenging
us. What called all this to our MIND
was thinking about the first tins
walker was a candidate, we were toe
young to vote, while today he looks
fifteen years younger than we do.

The Hone of the NEGRO

! The sanity and breadth which char
acterized the utterances of Booker
T. Washington in Baltimore are
just what were expected in this wise
leader of the negro race. His opti-
mism is the more hopeful because
it is based upon an almost unique
knowledge of the difficulties which
lie in the way Of progress.
In talking to the men of his race
he said Political parties and pub
lic issues and public men change and
disappear, but the fundamentals of
industry, thrift and high and rugged
character remain forever. With out
them all else is vain. With them,
nothing can defeat u.s.
No one more clearly than Mr.. VAST
ington perceives that the solution
of the negro problem lies in intelll-
gent appreciation of it by the ne
groes themselves. He knows that
constructive work among them, al
though it may be fastened from
the outside, must come in the last
analysis from within. While he de-
plores the narrowness Of race hat
red that manifests itself, he does
not despair. His gospel is make
yourselves worthy citizens and the
future will take care of ITSELF
With a firmness and a kindness
that suggest that other great friend
of the negron race, Abraham Lincoln,
he has never ceased to urge upon
his people the value of industry and
integrity, of the building Of character
That direct message spoken so simp
ly, does not apply to his people alone
It should be taken to heart BY the
white man as well as the black. In
stitutions pass and men along with
them, but courage and integrity re-
main, and courage and integrity and
the faithful discharge Of simple dut'
les alone insure the safety and the
endurance Of the republic. Record

varieties that they have not yet

there are more varieties here than

which the Chinese pay for these deli
