A YEAR OF JUBILEE.

The year 1913 will be a year of ju- bilee for the colored citizens of Amer ica for it marks the 50th anniversary of the emancipation of the slaves-the first half-century of achievement for the race.
 Booker T. Washington is moving for a special exposition in that year to show what the negro race has accom- plished in that time, and he is said to have enlisted the sympathy, interest and approval of President Taft in his plans.
 The colored race has made great progress since '63, and the negro has distinguished himself not only in learning but in the arts and indus tries of the country. Tn no way could a demonstration of the growth of this people be more effectively set before the nation and there is no doubt that it would be beneficial to the people bcause of it's educational value. The southern people and newspapers re- gard the proposition with favor, and there is no room to doubt that the north will be equally interested.
 In a sense it will be as important and instructive an exposition as was ever held in America, and 1t should meet with encouragement and support in all parts of the country.

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.

There is no question that there are substantial signs of prosperity which cannot be flouted aside by those who are not in the tide as yet.
 The increase of money in circulation is no insignificant pointer, and this increased three and a third millions in October, and for the year is $26, 1S1. .036 greater than in 1908.
 The imports in September of crude material for manufacture were worth s12.Ooo.0oo more than in September a year ago. The imports of goods for further manufacture were $6,000,000 more than in the September of 1908. The increases in the two items for the nine months ending with September were s12S,0o0, 900 and $62.oo0,000, re- spectively.
 The exports of September amounted to s153,SS9,357. which was a gain of more than s14,000,000 over the Sep tember of last year. Crude material for manufacture exported in Septem- ber had a value of more than ST. 00o,000 over that of the same month last year. and goods manufactured were worth $6,200,0O0 more.
 Mexico, Canada and the Centra American states bought $32,000, ,00( more goods of us in 1909, up to Octo. Der l, than they did in the correspond ing period of 1908. South America made s2,2o0,oo0 more purchases. Int export business of the nine month. was only s7O.OoO,oo short of the tota exports of last year.

A FAR REACHING DRouTH.

The rainfalls continue to be scant and Wednesdays snow was indicative of. colder weather and the approach of winter, which means shortage of water in the rural districts during the winter months.
 This drouth extends well south and the Newark News of Tuesday com pIained of the evil effect of it upon business The News said:
 50 little rain has fallen in the past three months that the whole state Is suffering from the effects of the drouth. The few showers that have fallen have been too light to do much good, so that the country is left with wells that contain little or no water. Streams are dry and the ground so lacking in moisture that the winter crops have not shown the progress reasonably expected.
 "The pasture has been insufficient and the quantity of milk has fallen off. Some farmers have had to cart water from long distances for their cattle. Not a few have had to aban- don their own wells and rely on the nleagre supply to be derived from those of neigbbors- Mills have had to run ea rart time. s72 in some places

LIABILITY OF ERROR.

The Bulletin has called attention to the fact that there was such liability to err in their calculations that no one could tell which explorer. had really reached the North pole until the experts had determined the mat ter from the observations made and data of the claimants. Now we have Prof. Winslow Upton of Brown uni versity declaring that astronomy can determine with almost absolute cer- tainty the truth of the statements made by the two claimants. He did not believe it would be possible to fake records. Those of Peary had been submitted to three of the lead ing astronomers, who have announced that he reached the pole with the la- bility of error of one mile.
 Professor Upton would have allowed for an error of five miles, owing to the vagaries of the instruments with which the work of location had to be done, and also to the fact that the pole of the earth is constantly changing because of a shifting of it's diameter. This variation takes place within very small circle, and even five miles from the exact top of the earth would be sufficient for all practical purposes.
 He does not hesitate to say that he does not think Arctic records can be faked and told his auditors that the report of pr. Cook is to be subjected to expert scientific examination and If the judges agree, that he believed 1t would be safe to accept their verdict. With reference to the advantages of the discovery he said; "A number of sciences are waiting for the data there obtainable The geographer is direct ly interest. So the meteorologist land the geologit too. needs the knowledge that will be- brought to lrught by this achievement. Were our acquaintance with that isolated re- zion to end with the few facts which have been brought back to us, per haps it would not amount. to much but he expected to see observation stations established throughout that great lonely expanse by which all the physical sciences would be benefited.

Every governor of a state in this country has proclaimed that the peo- ple are prosperous. and threfore have more than usual to gives thanks for this week on feast day. The organ ized charities have not made half the usual preparations for feeding the poor. There are not as many people in any need of help us in previous years. There are more luxuries being prepared in the homes of wageworkers in this country, now, than were pos sible to wealth, fifty years ago.-Wor- cester Telegram.
