HOLIDAY SEASON.

Christmas week, the holiday season,
which is universally observed through
out Christendom, is nearly at hand,
and everybody is astir anticipative of
a full share of enjoyment. Ever
against this occasion men are wont to
prepare for the distribution OF gifts
in commemoration of the worlds
greatest event, the Savior's birth,
Heavens best gift to man. Let it be
fttingly and appropriately celebrated.
Let our consideration of the deserving
aged and poor and needy bespeak our
generosity to those less favored than
ourselves and whose lives have been
saddened or darkened by experiences
or circumstances over which they had
no control. Let us remember that
they are the happiest who make 9th
ers happy. If by our little kindnesses
and words of cheer we relight the
lamp of hope in the breast of some
fellow-being; if by any generous act
of ours we strengthen some weak
ened, disheartened fellow-brother, old
or young, toiling along life's way, re-
member our reward will be heavens
benediction, a sweet and abiding
peace.
Christmas is the joyous season that
boys and girls of tender years look for
ward to with greatest anticipation.
Forget not the children, the merry,
romping, joyous children. For a few
brief years more and they, like you in
the years gone by, will be looking
retrospectively at the vanishing past
in whose embrace will be locked the
joys of the springtime of life that will
never come back again So make
them happy while you may.

Some of the things said by the Pres
ident-elect in his address before the
North Carolina Society are, in sub
stance, but an iterance of what he
said in his address at the dedicatory
exercises of the Carnegie Library at
Fisk University earlier in the year.
The South which has almost reached
the vanishing point so far as an effec-
tive participation in national affairs
is concerned, would do we'll to heed
the words of wisdom given utterance
by Mr.. Taft.
Concluding, let it be said that the
South has no friend more loyal than
the Negro; he has ever been true to
her best interests. and elects to remain
so. He seeks no domination, no SUI
premacy; he only wants the fighting
chance of man; that's all.

TO THE CoLoRED TEACHERS
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala, Dec. g.,
1908.-The National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis is holding for the week begin
ming December 18th and December
18th, an exclusive Negro conference
at Tuskegee Institute, Ala, bearing
upon this dreaded disease. They are
calling upon all colored organizations
to make an effort to have the above
week designated as Health Week.
Also to have on Sunday, December
18th, sermons, addresses, ETC., and
in all churches and public places
make some reference to the health OF
the Negro people of the country. We
as officers of the National Association
of Teachers in Colored Schools, both
private and public, ask all to join in
this effort for the health of both chill
dren and parents. If, during this
week in connection with our schools
a conference could be had, bringing
in the parents in the local commune
ty and talks made upon methods Of
preventing consumption, much COCO
will result. In the regular teaching
of hygiene in our schools, if some EN-
phasis during this week could be
placed upon the methods of prevent
ing consumption, we are sure much
fruit would be borne. In connection
with this particular effort the colore(
teachers of the country would have al
opportunity to show themselves no
only helpers in the intellectual devel
opment of our people, but as strong
forces in the social life. With tho
hope that large number of ouI
teachers may take mold and give
strength to this movement, we are

COMMUNICATION.
Trip to Memphis.

Editor of the Globe:
Please give us space to say a
word about our trip to Memphis,
where went on the 18th OF Novem-
Der by invitation Of the faculty and
board of trustees of Howe Bible and
Normal Institute to preach sermon
which they styled "a Cornerstone
Sermon of the Girls Dormitory."
Through the rain which continued
day Saturday and Saturday night, l
went to Memphis, arriving at $3.50
p. m. Saturday. l was met at the
depot by Drs. T. O.. Fuller and w. H.
Hurd, who put US in one of Memphis
best carriages and took us to the
beautiful home of Rev. T. ]. Searcy,
D. d. We were received by Sister
Searcy, the amiable wife of the Doc
tor who knows how to make one feel
at home. DR.. Searcy was detained
at the Woman's Board meeting which
was in session at the First Baptist
Church, of which the matchless DR..
Il. o. Fuller, President of Howe. is
pastor. But we had not been there
very long before DR.. Searcy came in
and, in his usual happy mood, made
us welcome. But by that time we
were in full possession of his lovely
home and his baby boy, who is a
bright little fellow, and had things
we'll in hand. 1t was our good for

our best pastors, safe leader and a
sound Baptist. The National Baptist
Convention did not make a mistake
when it elected Dr. Searcy chair
man of the Educational Board. Sun
day morning came on, the clouds
were lifted and the Lord gave us a
lovely day for services. We preached
at 1870 a. m. for DR.. Searcy's people.
At $3.50 p. m. We were greeted by a
most enthusiastic and intelligent
congregation at the First Baptist
Church. Dr.. Fuller, like a magnetic
needle, drew the pastors and their
congregations both from the country
and the city. We have seldom, if
ever, seen more educational enthusi-
asm than was exhibited by the pas
tors and their congregations at that
meeting. The churches all gave lib
orally and pledged future support to
Howe. At night I preached for DR..
w. H. Hurd's people. He is our sweet
est preacher, says DR.. Morris. Dr.
Hurd has one of the largest congrega
tons in Memphis. They gave us $520
in an after collection. We spoke tC
large body of students of Howe
Monday morning. Most of them
were from outside the city. DR.. Full
er gave us $500 for our expenses
for which we thank them.

TAXES, TAXES, TAXES!

The city budget for 1909 is crying
for more funds and the City Council
is racking its brains to get through a
measure to satisfy it. It's efforts re-
minds one of the Inquisition, a sort
of court or tribunal which once ex-
listed in Spain, Italy and Portugal,
which was established for the purpose
of trying some poor culpurit for
heresy, who, when found guilty, as was
invariably the case, was then hand
ed over to the secular arm of the law
The poor wretch was then taken to a
dungeon and securely fastened upon a
Wheel devilish machine called the
rack, and confession extorted from
him by the most cruel torture. It
seems that the people of this city have
become heretical on the question of
more taxes and they have been so
adjudged by the city fathers" who
will, it is said, memorable the Legis-
lature, asking that body to grant them
(the city fathers) the power to levy
special tax" that is, allow them to
put the people upon "the rack" and
make them disgorge more funds in
the name of taxes for the purpose OF
raising the amount of money needed
for the 1909 budget.
Will the time ever come when the
suffering and overburdened people
will find surcease from increased
taxation? If the members of the City
Council favoring the measure succeed
in their efforts an increase rate Of
taxes will be imposed.

SOUTHERN SITUATION.

President-elect Taft's address to the
North Carolina Society at their an
nual banquet in New York City the
first of this week was a sensible and
logical deliverance. He made the best
possible use of a favorable time to
say some sane things to the entire
South with reference to some of it's
ancient time-serving vagaries and pre-
tended fears of Negro denomination
Ignoring any discussion of the recon
struction period, which has always
been magnified out of all due proper
ton to the actual status of things he
took up the present-day situation and
showed that the white South had no
need to resort to unlawful means to
retain it's governing power He as
good as said that the long chasing of
the irrepressible ghost of Negro SUI
premacy had worked untold injury to
her and would continue to do so if
she kept up her folly
After showing that the South has
almost eliminated herself as a factor
in the national government by ex-
pending her strength and ability pur-
suing a groundless fear of the Negro,
Mr. Taft addressed his attention to
the election laws He said in part as
follows:
THAT in all Southern States it is
possible by election laws prescribing
proper qualifications for the suffrage
which square with the Fifteenth
Amendment and which shall be equal
ly administered as between the black
and white races, to prevent entirely
the possibility of a domination of
Southern State, county or municipal
government by an ignorant electorate,
white or black. 1t is further true
that the sooner such laws when adopt
ed are applied with exact equality

passing of DR.. John B. Taylor, one OF
Americas greatest runners:
Philadelphia, Pa, December q
DR.. John b. Taylor, the former cham
pion Quarter-mile runner of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, died at his
home to-day of typhoidrpneumonia
Taylor was the first colored man ever
picked to carry the American flag on
his breast in Olympic championships,
he running in the 400-metre race and
in the relay event.
DR.. Taylor, at one time, was chosen
as the fittest man to represent Ameri-
can sprinters in the Olympian games.
He was a great athlete; in fact, one
of the greatest runners produced by
any country. He leaves a splendid
record of achievements, not only to
his race, but to the athletic world. So
to speak, he was a Greek among
Greeks.
