COMMUNICATION.
He Confessed" (Not).

To the Nashville Globe.
The Robert Moore episode in Vir-
ginia, last week clearly proves the JUS
tice of the contention that the Negro
continues to make that he, as every
other member of an American commu.
nifty, is entitled to the benefit of i'm
partial laws equitably. or unpreju-
dicially administered. The applica-
ton Of the principles of right and
justice to all men alike can, nowhere
nor at any time be wrong, While on
the other hand, if the rules or prin-
ciples of equity, applied to facts and
evidence. in any given case whatso-
ever, are colored lor distorted by.
blind and unreasonable prejudice on
account of color, then nowhere nor at
any time can such a course be right.
Justice, in NEUROLOGICAL lore, is rep
resented as being a blindfolded god
dess that she may not see and be af-
fected one way nor another by the
pomp. splendor or station of the rich
nor by the poverty, pitiableness OF
condition of the poor whose ase she
was to adjudge. But such is not true
of her in "the land of the free and
the home of the brave" Here she
has slyly slipped away the bandage
civering her eyes; and she knows full
we'll when a Negro comes upon the
scene. His cause is weighed and
when adjudicated is almost invariably
found wanting.
We started out to say that when
the Hines boy was missing, without
any positive proof, he was supposed to
be murdered and a defenseless Negro
was found who was his murderer, and
the papers sent it out to the world
that he had confessed. Confessed

STATE NORMAL.
at home.

There was held this week in this
city a meeting of the State Board of
Education and the Textbook Commits
sion. The meeting of both of these
boards is of considerable import to the
Negroes of the State of Tennessee.
1t is true that the Legislature settled
the fact that there is to be established
a State Normal College for Negroes,
but the institution has not been estab-
lished yet, and every citizen owes it
to himself and his neighbors to take
note of the Importance attached to
the location of this school. Superin-
tendent Jones cannot see every need
of the Negro youth of the state, and
again he is burdened with the care of
all the states educational interests,
which makes it imperative that the
thinking men of the race lend him
what aid they can to the end that the
Normal for Negroes be established so
as to serve the best interests of the
Negroes of the state.
1t is generally conceded that the in
stitution should be located in the cen
trail part of the state, but the fact re-
mains that there are some men of our
race in this state who will close their
eyes to a suggestion for the general
good to carry their point.
This is a time for brave, honest
men to get active, and prove to the
world that we are wide-awake men
in this commonwealth, and that the
needs of our children come first of all
things.

NEGRO CONFERENCES.

j. In the city of New York a meeting
was held this week styled the National
Negro Conference The object of the
meeting, 1t seems, was to discuss the
status of the Negroes of the United
States. The usual program Of discuss
ing and %adjourning to meet again was
carried out. Some good things were
said. Yes, many of the subjects discuss
ed were worthy of note, but we doubt
the wisdom of going to New York to
discuss the South. We are rather in
clined to the idea that more good
would come from such a meeting in
the South than can come FROM those
held a thousand miles away. WI. feel

lessor of one of the Universities in

us good. Most of those who partici-
pated in that meeting know very little
of conditions in the South, for their
information is gathered from the
press, which; we arc sorry to say, sci:
dom tells, the truth about the Negro.
What we need most is that our To-
cal conditions be looked into. by citi.
zens of the community. We need to
first set the Negroes right, Make
them see their own weaknesses and
try to teach them how to overcome
them. Teach the habit Of right-living
in the home and the national affairs
win take care of themselves.

GEORGIA RAILRoAD CASE.

When the public press heralded to
the world that there was a strike on
in Georgia, and that it was brought
about because the officials of the Geor-
gia Railroad had in their employe
Negro men as iremen of train en-
gines, the country sat up and took no
tice. The South has always boosted
that the Negro that wanted to work
could always find plenty of it to do in
this section Of the country, whereas
he was denied that privilege in the
North. But the dispatches indicated
that down in Georgia they were about
to cause the claim long held up by the
s%outherners to fall fiat. The next ques,
ton to arise was will the Negroes
take the risk of losing their kves II
the railroad company guarantees them
protection while at their posts of duty?'
The final test came, and the Ne
groes, true to the blood that is in
them. went to their posts Of duty al

that out Of the first ten trains to b.

TRAINING.

The idea of training the hands has
taken hold of the people of this coun-
try in a way that is indicative of per-
manency. The time was when chill
dren in the public schools only had
to get their lessons well, and be able
to recite in a way satisfactory to the
school master, and while It is just
as essential now as it has ever been
that children be apt and accurate in
the study of their textbooks, the
signs of the times have convinced
our most advanced thinkers that to
keep pace with the world America
must train her youth to work. After
reaching this conclusion the next
problem to be decided was, at what age
should this training begin. 1t wa
thought by some to be too much to
expect children in the public schools
10 do manual work with their literary
sIndies, but experiments in this
city have proved that children only
seven and eight years old have better
lessons since manual training has
been introduced.
The exhibits In the different schools
Of the city this year are very good.
They shaw that special pains have
been taken by the teachers, and that
the children are capable of taking in
the instructions given. 1t means more
than it appears to from the surface.
Some one has said that IAN idle mind
is the DEVILS work shop If this be
true. and we believe all will agree that
it is, manual training in the public
schools will serve to close up thou
sands of the shops Of his satanic
majesty. Furthermore, the cry from
one end of our country to the other Is
for trained laborers. When we speak
of trained laborers more is meant thar
mere knowing how to perform g
certain class of skilled mechanics
There are thousands of men and WON
en- who are experts at manipulating
certain kinds of machines or turning
out work artistically, but who have
not learned the Importance t stick
ing to their jobs. They are OF a rest

and resting n seems to them a bul
den. and they insist on being Above,
to stop their work to go to every Gil

ual training in childhood adapts tn
mind to regular habits, and will in
few generations give to America
working class that will excel any j
the world.
The Negroes Of the South are esp
cially N need of this training, for W
of oil American citizens, are given

The citizens of Nashville, those who
are actively engaged in Sunday-school
work and those who are not, will
do wisely to attend the sessions of
this Congress. Some of the ablest
men and women of the Baptist de-
nomination and of the ace will at
