1t was all the doorkeepers in the gal

voters in the United States, with a
large membership in Indiana, an or

John A. NJ. Adair, of Portland, In

The Honorable John A M. Adair
is one of the most popular members
in the Indiana delegation and is a
true friend to the colored race. His
speech on February 27, 1909, on the
Brownsville bill speaks for itself,
and although a Democrat, the Negro
has no better friend than Mr.. Adair.

New York,-A national conference
in the interest of the American Ne
gro was opened in the United Chari-
ties building in this city last Mon
day, by Professor Burt G. Wilder, of
Cornell University, and Professors
Livingston Farrand and E. R. Selig-

University. The conference was in
session for two days. William Hayes
Ward presided at the morning ses-
sion and Judge Wendell P. Stafford,
of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia, at a public meeting
in Cooper Union at night.
Professor Wilder, who is the author
of a Form of Bequest of the Brain"
brought from Ithaca several brains,
including those of an orang-outang
and an eminent mathematician. With
these exhibits as a basis the speaker
made some interesting deductions. In
an address before the conference,
Professor Wilder said:
"The brain of the average man
negro seems to be about two ounces
lighter than that of the average
white man and probably there occurs
more frequently than in the white
man a less development of the pre-
frontal lobes; these two conditions
render it likely that the whites will
remain the dominant race. There
are exceptions to the above general
of both kinds and among
both races"

KELLY MILLER
From the Dallas Express

Kelly Miller is the significant name
of a new town site on the Trinity
and Brazos Valley railway, in Free
stone county, Texas, about eighty
seven miles south of the city of Dal-
las. It is named for the noted edu-
Gator and agitator at Howard Uni
versity, Washington, and is to be
owned and operated by and for Afro
Americans.
In the nature of things, consider
ing all the surroundings, the effort 10
establish a town in this section to be
manned and owned by cOlored people
should meet with success unbOunded.
There are certain governmental ideas
which should be developed, but be-
fore hey can be developed the! must
be planted. There is a certain respect
for law aud order and governmental
functions which mankind must sus-
tain, but it must have beginning.
Under the peculiar conditions which
are the lot of the present generation
of colored folk these things can have
no beginning in 4 mixed community
in the south or, for that matter, in
the north.
The town site consists of ninety
three acres, having twenty-four
blocks containing 3I2 lots, each block
being 800 feet square. It's streets are
sixty feet wide, with a fifteen foot
alley in each block. Each lot will
be $50 feet in depth, leaving side
walk of ten feet. The public square
will be dedicated in memory of the
noted Write Cuney and it is hoped
that the people of the state of Texas
will erect a monument thereon in
memory of this great man.

THE GEORGIA STRIKE
From the Evening Star


While the Georgia railway strike
has been called off, thus permitting
the resumption of traffic over the
road, the cause of the trouble has nUr
yet been removed. The status Of the
Negro hremen remains to be deter
mined by later negotiations between
the company and the union. This IS
an Improvement III the situation, in
asmuCh as the issue can much more
satisfactorily be met and disposed of
while the traffic is being handled than
during the stress of a strike. Upon
the determination of this question Of
the Negro fremen's place in the
roads affairs, depends much more
than the welfare of the individuals
Immediately concerned. If the color
ed stokers are relegated to the infer
ior positions regardless of length OF
service, capacity or character, while
white fremen are given their places,
this order of things is likely to be
followed on other roads, with the
probable result of the gradual dis
placement of the black man from the
railroad service. The economic effect
of such a change is certain to be
serious, in retarding the industrial
evolution of the less fortunate race.

A SUCCESSFUL RALLY

The recent Rally at the First Bap-
tist Church, West Washington, OF
which Rev. Edgar E. Ricks is pas
tor, was a grand success; $I,62o.58
having been collected for payment on
the bonded debt; the current and in
cidental expenses of the church being
met by the weekly offerings.
This speaks more eloquently than
words of the ability of Rev. Kicks as
an organizer and of the working
congregation and liberal hearted
members back Of him.

argument which has weight, but has
not weight when improperly used
that the colored race today, all OF
them, would be better off if they all
had university education
Il think they would be in a very
bad way if they had, because they
would not know how to use it, and
they would not find means of using
it. No race would be better off II
they were all educated as university
men. The great body of the colOred
race, as the great body of the white
race, must depend for their liveli-
hood upon their manual labor, skilled
or unskilled, or upon some occupation
which requires less education than
that which is conferred by a univer-
sity. and if it is too widely extended
the effect of it is to put a lot of men
into life who do not find occupations
which are suited to their taste, and
to make them unhappy and really not
fit for the life which is before them.
"On the other hand, THAI admission
is far from a concession that it is
not necessary for the success of the
colored race that there be among
them leaders of that race fitted by
university education for that leader
shin. There is not any likelihood,
with dcIerence TO persons who oc-
cupy a different position, that either
in the generosity of the general gov
ernment or in the generosity Of in
dividualS who found colored colleges
and universities, there is to be much
of an opportunity given as is likely
to lead too many colored men to ac-
quire university education as COM
pared with the number of colored
men that there are in the community,
and especially south of the Mason
and Dixon line.
The opportunity that there is for
educated colored men to aid their
race in the struggle before them for
economic success and the mainten-
ance of themselves as worthy and
valuable members of the community,
the opportunity that there is for uni
versity men among colored men to
assist in that movement, l say, is
very great indeed.
Ladies and Gentlemen: | made
my speech in the Chapel, and | am
only here to contribute one step in
the ceremony and the work of con-
structiOn of this building, a library
for a university.
"A university without a library is
really a very weak institution. l have
no doubt that you have one, but it is
we'll to have it in such proportion
and with such facilities for study
that those who are in the university
may use the books there as fully and
completely as possible.
Il congratulate you, the alumni,
the members and friends of this uni
versity, that private generosity has
extended your university in this di-
rectiOn and given you such an instru-
ment for its usefulness as will doubt
less add greatly to the progress of the
university"
At the conclusion of the remarks
by Mr. Taft, the corner stone was
put in place and he applied several
trOwelsful of mortar. After the
stone had been firmly put in position
President Taft left the platform.

EDWARD H. HARTMAN, the greatest
organizer of railroads the world has ev-
err known, met the only lasting defeat
of his active life at the hands of death.
Secluded in his magnificent home on
Tower Hill, New York, surrounded by
members of his family, physicians and
nurses, he succumbed to an intestinal
disorder Thursday afternoon. after a
fight against disease which will rank
for sheer grit with his remarkable
struggles in the financial world. Mr..
Hartman died peacefully and to the
end his brilliant mind retained its integ-
rity. After relapse on Sunday, he
sank slowly and soon after the noon
hour Thursday. there came a relapse
which marked the approach of the end.
He attended to his business to the very
last and his mind was clear up to with
in an hour Of his demise. He was a
great man and the financial and railroad
world will miss him.
