The Negroes Happy New
Year


cheer to every one throughout
Christendon and the day has
been given over by the public to
rejoicing and doing unto others
as you would have them do unto
you, yet no class of citizens in
this or any other country should
get as much out of New Year as
the Negro of the United ST. ties,
and for no greater reason than
on that day the immortal Lin
coin spoke everlasting peace to
his soul and freedom to his body.
Since that time his life has been
a continuous travel of, Up
From Slavery" as wrote the
great educator of Tuskegee, and
a wonderful story it is, and each
New Year but adds another and
more interesting chapter to the
story. The chapters may not be
put in print as have those that
have already been written, but
it is being written on the hearts
of men and women, from. which
even time itself can not efface.
Some time in the future DR..
Washington or some of his sue
cessors will compile all of the
chapters that have been made
by the return of each New Year
and the black man Of the United
States of 1868 will be so far re-
moved from the state of degre-
dation, which he occupied at that
time, that he himself will not be
able to realize the distance he
has actually travelled in, COM
paratively speaking, so short a
time. The progress that the
black man of this country is
making is as pleasing to a great
majority of the white folk as it
is to the black folk themselves
and they never lose an opror-
tunity to turn something in the
way of the meritorious black
man that will help him move on
and upward to make a better
showing at the approaching New
Year than at the last. Of course
the black man of the United
States is travelling faster than
even did the white man, when
he was evolutionizing, but this is
due to the fact that the black
man can profit by the experience
of the white man and as he de-
velops mentally take up the bur-
den right by the side of the white
man. The Negro of the present
time is rapidly taking a place by
the side of the progressive white
man and in those instances
where he shows an equal amount
of ability as the white man is &C
cepted as leader the same as
the white man.
Much has been said of the pro-
gress the black man has made
in this country in the way of
education and property accumu-
lation, but to the mind of the
writer in nothing has he shown
greater progress than in his
home environments. Even in
the South, where his home en-
vironments have been more sad
ly neglected than in any other
locality of the country, marked
improvements are being made.
In the cities and especially in the
West there are no distinctive
Negro sections of any city and
the Negro is not satisfied with
dingy squally quarters, but de-
mands good homes. 1t has been
and verify is hard for him to get
such desirable quarters, owing
to the disposition Of the rental

true that we pay our WOrkmen more

The Subsection A" failed to
run the gauntlet sure enough, in
the State senate. This is a bit
surprising, too, considering the
fact that the democratic senators
were elected on a platform which
declared specifically for trust leg

of the now famous section of the
Locknart bill embodying the sub
stance Of subsection "A" of the
Reid bill defeated in 1.-The senate
two years ago by. the narrow
margin of one vote, after it had
passed the house with practically
no opposition at all. The present

ment is a bit mysterious, to say
the least, and leaves the public
in doubt about the effectiveness
of the substitute adopted, in the
event the same finallyabecomes
''the law of the land" The pre-
vaillng opinion seems to justify
the conclusion that the original
Lockhart bill is the stronger of
the two. hence the opposition to
it by the republican senators and
those of the democratic members
of that body who complain that
Legislation of this kind would
tend toward a disturbance of

reposed in them in complying
with the demand of the people to
enact a law that efectually con-

ton in certain lines of business
in this part of the country.
What the House will do remains
to be seen. Two years ago that

which contained provisions SINH

NO Evidence OF GRAFT

Several weeks ago the Exam

General Assembly of 1907to make
the examination, required by law.
of the books and accounts of
State, officials gave out a some
what sensational report of its
findings, charging irregularities
in the departments of the State
Auditor. Insurance Commission
er. Superintendent of Public In
struction. and the Fish Commits
sion. A comprehensive review
of the work of this committee
appeared in the newspapers,
making the impression that ele-
ments of graft existed in some
of the departments named. The
committee declared in it's report
that no evidence of any character
of dishonesty had been disclosed,
yet a number of suggestions
were made with reference to
methods employed in keeping the
records of the Insurance Com
missioner's Office, which did not
look well in print. =
When the report of this exam
lining Committee was read in the

PROPOSED TRUST Bills


The Lockhart antitrust bill
received a Knockout in the SEN
ate last Thursday, at which time
the w-Bassett-M Manning SUBJ
stitute passed by a practically
unanimous vote. The republican
senator's voted solidly against the
Lockhart bill and for the substi-
tute. The democrats divided on
the vote for the original PROPOSE
ton, but after finding it could
not pass nearly all of them sup
ported the substitute as the only
available measure of the kind
under consideration, the original
bill, with all proposed amend
ments, having failed. Senator
Lockhart made a brave and man
ly fight for his bill, winning the
applause of even those who OPP
posed its passage. His speech
was the most powerful and logi-
cal that has been heard upon the
floor of either house during the
session, and the arguments pre-
sented were unanswerable. But
a majority of the senators had
reached the conclusion that his bill
contained too many teeth, >
sharp ones at that-and speech
making accomplished nothing.
1t is now up to- the House.
The advocates of the substitute
bill passed by the senate claim
that it is q genuine trust bust
err and will really be more effect
i've than the Lockhart bill. 1t is
contended, also. that it fully car
ries out the platform declaration
demanding effective antitrust
legislation. If this be true, the
republican senators have gone on
record in favor of a democratic
measure, for they swallowed"
it like little men, only one of
them, Mr.. Wray of Rockingham,
voting no. We hope the law
finally enacted will reach the evil
such a law is intended to correct,
otherwise the present state ad-
misistration will be put down
with the trust crowd, when, as a
matter Of fact, the governor sue
eeeded in his aspirations mainly
on account of his we'll known
position on the trust question.
And here is the platform declara-
ton promulgated by the demo-
cratic convention at Charlotte:
Private monopolies should be
destroyed. Conspiracies bypros-
pectiYe purchasers to put down
or keep down the prices of arti-
cles produced by the labor of 9TH
ers should be made criminal, and
all persons or corporations enter
ing into such conspiracies should
be punished; and we condemn in
every form subsidies, gratuities,
bonuses, trusts and monopolies,
i and they should not be tolerated.
We pledge, not only to citizens
of this State, but to citizens of
other States, that all capital in
vested in legitimate enterprises
in North Carolina, whether for
eign or domestic, corporate or
private, shall have the equal pro-
lection of the laws and the equal
friendly consideration of those
who administer the laws; and We
. further pledge that all such per-
sons or corporations violating the
provisions of the law shall be-
made to feel and suffer the full
penalties for such violations.
Both sides to the controversy
contend that the bill they are
supporting is a genuine antitrust
measure and it is little strange,
if this be true, that there should
be any division at all. The align
