DRAWING THE LINE.

In the speeches made by Dr. Booker
T, Washington during his recent tour
of this state there was not an in
stance in which he did not urge upon
the colored people to establish a divid-
ing line in the race between the good
and the bad He took special pains to
always emphasize the great necessity
of drawing the line tight on all lead
ers-preachers. doctors, lawyers,
teachers, or what not, every one es-
saying to represent the cause of the
people should be required to live up
to the very highest standard.
DR.. Washington is right. There can
De no greater charge brought against
Negroes as a race than the accusation
that they class all members of the
race the same. 1t is too largely true,
and the sooner that practice is
changed the better it will be for the
colored people.
1t is nonsense to. argue that all black
men are good and all white men bad
Negroes are made of flesh and blood
as other people, and have in the race
men and women of every character
There is one difference, but it is
against us, and that is, the people in
this country of African decent are
mixed up with all the other nations Of
the world They did not take the
initiative in the procedure and are mol
as much to blame as the. intruders;
but the mixing has been done, and
too by the mean element of the white
races. So it is wonder that tht
Negroes are no meaner than they are
1t is fact that cannot be disputed
that there are good Negroes, million:
of them; and there are bad Negroes
thousands of them. SO the thing
needed most in this respect is weed
ing out. Pick the people who are be
lieved to be honest and straight anC

a horse that could run swiftly enough
to get within a ropes length of him,
and the narrow sculled mare that
reared him showed her colt early in

glow of success playing over his eoun-

the racehorse stallion which had es-
capped from the mustangers for eight
long years.

We noticed that he soon tired of leap

one day in early spring three of us

saddle horses, and after locating the
big old bay, we divided. One man
made a long circuit, and by leading his
horse slowly he managed to get within
a few, hundred yards of his game with

scented the man before he saw him

Watching his opportunity the roper
gathered in a few coils of his RATA,
and, deity casting It over the back

horse off at right angles, tripping the
outlaw. which fell heavily to the
ground.
Until we saddled him we did not real

RATA to his front feet; when he tried
to run away we jerked his feet from
