faster than we can realize a respecta-
bic, rising, progressive, property-hold
ing class of Negroes is being met with
friendly hand-shakes from fair-minded
and clear-speaking men of the other
race who want to stand out of strug-
Cling peoples sunshine. l believe
these men are rising in response to
that growing national spirit which is
a legitimate by-product Of the world
movement for which you stand. AL
most every one of them is an advocate
of international peace by arbitration.
l find that the remarkable business
growth of the Negro, leading to in
creased business contact with the white
man, is bringing about closer and
friendlier feelings Not long ago, in
my town, I went down to the Negro
bank in which l deposit, and found
this notice on the door, "HOHddg:
CLOSED by Clearing House Agreement"
When before this day did the Negro
ever do any thing by clearing house
agreement? 1t is significant of the
new relation.
The South is spending $32,06S,851
on her public schools; $4,736,375 of this
is for Negro education. This is only
14.S per cent while the Negro consti-
tutes 40 per cetn of the total popu-
lationof the states considered-Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Ten
nessee.
In the three states of Virginia, North
Carolina and Georgia, where complete
separation in statistics exists, the fol
lowing taxes paid by the Negro and
the educational appropriations made to
him show that he receives less than he
pays:
Virginia Negro taxes. e.. .$507 305
Virginia Negro appropriation. 4S9,22S
Virginia Tax excess. ....$1S,O77
North Carolina Negro tax. ,$429, 1877
North Carolina Negro appropri-
alton. 80. 4O2,65S
North Carolina Tax excess. 1926, ,539
Georgia Negro taxes. 49,. .$647 1852
Georgia Negro appropriation 5O6,1
Georgia Negro excess =. ..$141 ,6S2
Such figures as these will go a long
way to prevent the separation of taxes
on race lines, as has been proposed.
AS with us, so with others. Every
nation has its ethnic problems, but
the extirpation Of war between nations
will hasten the time, by quickening the
desire, for brotherhood among races.
In the days to come when the old
man Of Russia, now garbed as peas
ant, and sitting by the bank waiting
for the last boat, shall be crowned
with laurel and olive for teaching that
men should not fight; and when, of all
that money has ever wrought, the
/ temple of peace, raised in Holland by
/ the munificence of one who has caught
! the long-sought secret of transmitting
iron to gold and gold to true glory,
shall tower above every other fame on
earth, because men love each other and
worship peace; and then shall sons
stir uneasily as they hear the war-like
deeds of their sires recited, and shall
say, "They wrought in the twilight,
! but we in the full day"
Then shall the American nation, for
getting the apostasy of barnyard strug-
giles for prey like mighty Dantean
eagle on lofty wings, above all the
weak and defenceless of earth, drop
the white plumes of peace among them
and their foes.

CATHOLIC BISHOP FROM AFRICA
DOUBTS IF ALL PARTY
WILL RETURN.

New York.-Bishop Hugh MacSher-
ry, the Roman Catholic prelate from
Africa, who is visiting in Brooklyn, is
of the opinion that not all of the Roose-
welt hunting party will return to this
country alive, and that Mr.. Roosevelt
himself is running great risk. He
says:
THE sort of places that the party
must go through to get at the game is
against Col. Roosevelt The climate
itself constitutes danger. There are
swamps, breeding malaria, and low
lying places generally. There is dan
ger of fever. He may get the sleeping
sickness. Then he will never come
back. This lays hold of whites as well
as the blacks.
THE natives are treaoherous and
they are Indispensable as carriers and
guides. They have been known to de-
sert their parties and run away. The
cause of this is superstitious fear.
What would happen to Mr.. Roosevelt
and his companions If they were thus
treated? They would not know their
route in wild country, and they would
be unable to carry alone their camping
outfits and food"
Mr.. Roosevelt is just the sort of a
robust man that would succumb among
the first.
II would not like to predict any
mans death, but l fully concur with
the opinion of Prof. Frederick Starr,
of the University of Chicago. that 1t is
highly probable not all the party will
return alive" continued the bishop.

"Of all the dangers, perhaps the
worst is from the wild animals. l as
sure you this part of Africa is not like

rhinoceroses abound. The fact that
Mr.. Roosevelt wears glasses will con-
stitute very considerable element OF
danger. No matter what trials of his
aggressiveness. they would be required
to be continued up to date in order
that the great activity of his previous
life as Rough Rider should stand in
