never to publish an appeal coming
from a doubtful source for funds,
and it is very seldom that it's edito-
rial columns are used to emphasize
such an appeal, but it's urgency and

restoration to health of those mem

to secure the comforts their condi

substantial encouragement but not as
much as they have reasonably ex.
pected nor to the amount of the ben.

WHERE SHALL HE TURN?

"
that he would make no appointments
mt the south which might not please
that section of the country, the Ne
Z gro voter sat up and took notice. He
3 questioned the necessity, if not the
! wisdom, of such statement, since
at the most, the positions filed by
members of the Negro race, who alone
could be persona non grata to the
white south, were few and not many
!nitude which would seriously en-
!harrass their holder by the passage
of an income tax law.
Following the advice of his con-
SENTATIVE leaders, the Negro reserved
the expression of his opinion even
when Crum, evidently under com
pulsion, announced his intention not
to tapply for disappointment as Col
lector of the port of Charleston, S. G.
and Wilson was ousted from post
Office In North Carolina for a Demo
crat. With the proverbial humor
with which he meets the most try
ing situations, and which has un-,
doubtedly been his salvation, the
black man looked beyond this dark
cloud upon his political horizon for
the silver lining.
J. That he has not read the signs of
the times Alright, that he has misin-
terIreted the activity of the lilly
whites" must appear to even the
most sanguine after reading the in
terView of Senator Cullom. This
venerable representative of Illinois
in the upper branch Of Congress isl
anything but sensational. He is not
given to reckless speech. He has
been too long in politics not to know
what to say and when to say it,
This being the case, what does his
frank avowal Of the necessity of the
Republican party at the south drop
ping the Negro portend for the race?
Is this statement coming from one so
high in the councils of the party as
is Senator Cullom, the expression Of
an opinion from headquarters, or
merely the declaration of his own
thoughts?
Upon the answer to these ques-
tions depends largely the peace Of
the Negroes mind upon his political
status in the future. So long as he
labored under the impression, erro-
neOus though it may have been,
that the Republican party was the
palladium of his hopes of ultimate
complete citizenship, he bore with
what patience he might command
the discriminatory franchise enact
ments of southern legislatures.
Whittier will he turn now that the
serpents of disfranchisement have
invaded the very temple Of his faith
and sTangled the guardians to whom
he looked for the preservation Of
what every man holds most dear?
Will he lose hope Of ever receiving
the reward which materialists tell
him comes to him who labors and
waits, or will he become Respondent
and despair Of the attainment Of his
reinstatement to full citizenship?
We dare not say, but let us hope that
the future holds more than the pres
Z -ent leads us to expect.

Just what 1t means for a farmer boy
to go to college and get definite re-
suits out Of 1t Is being shown In the
work Of the newer generation on west
ern farms. The result of training and
OF broader ideas is seen in the meth.
DDS Of today as they take the place
OF those Of the early settlers who
were hampered by the need Of expert
ment and trial before they learned
what was best to do and how to do It.
Not every boy seeks an education
with the idea Of being a farmer when
school Is over, and when one does the
outcome Is interesting. Such an ambi.
ton has animated one young man Of
the western section and It has worked
out In practical results. His expert.
ence Is a good example Of what edu-
cation means on the farm.
Il always wished to be q farmer-a
dairy farmer" was the way James R.
Carver put 1t, as he stood at the door
OF the big barn on his fathers farm.
That was why l went to college and
l spent my time trying to learn how
to be the best farmer possible"
1t was difficult to realize that this
frank-faced young man, clad in blue
overalls and a dark shirt with a wide
hat shading his bronzed face could
write "B. s., NJ. s." after his name
and that he had spent five years out
of the "a of his life in college halls.
He is master of half section of
fine bottom land equipped with build.
lngs and conveniences usually found
on modern farmers place.
But 1t was not ur to his idea and
the changes that he has made and the
new ideas he has put into practice are
a good exhibit Of what may be expect.
ed in western farming in the future.
He had learned that grain is better
feed when ground and a feed grinder
was put in. Then an elevator that
would carry the grain to storage
rooms above, where, If necessary, H.
600 bushels can be cared for, was
added.
81 do not propose to sell grain ex.
cept on foot; it's more profitable that
way" said he.
Pipes we're laid carrying water to
all parts Of the farmyard and to the
house, where the conveniences of a
city water system are enjoyed as a
part Of his modern plan. Great tanks
give the cattle and hogs plenty Of
fresh water constantly and 1t requires
only the starting Of the engine to set
all the machinery In motion.
