A Determined VinIet

An ancient homestead in Wood
stock, Conn, shelters under its thTesh-
old an interesting freak of nature. Be
tween the house and its huge old door
step is a narrow crevice filed with
cement. In this hard and seemingly
forbidding environment a fine flourish
ing English violet plant awakens much
wonder and admiration. With appar-
emily no encouragement this brave lit
tie plant yearly puts forth fresh leaves
and sometimes as many as ten fra
grant flowers bloom at once.-Coun-
try Life in America.

OUR SCHOOLS

The public schools of this city
will open next Monday, week,
under the most favorable condi-
tions. The people have become
reconciled and the teachers have
come to the conclusion that no
one has been seriously injured.
The Assistant Superintendent,
Mr.. Bruce, has guaranteed to
give good and satisfactory re-
suits during the coming school
year. 1t behooves the citizens
and the school authorities to live
in peace and harmony. 1t is be-
lieved that no one will attempt to
disrupt the schools by false
charges. 1t is advisable for all
concerned to go slow and give
the schools the necessary sup
port.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
The religious school that is to
be started by DR.. James E. Shep-
ard, of Durham, North Carolina,
will be era in the history OF the
Negro race. This school will be
great benefit, not only to the
Negro race, but to the white peo-
pie as we'll.
The Negro must be taught
good morals He should be taught
to treat his fellowmen with con
sideration and respect. To in
still into him religious morals
will go great good.
DR.. Shepard is the man to teach
this new propaganda. He is a
man who stands above reproach,
and is honest to the letter, and
he knows just what to teach his
people in the South to enable
them to become factors and gain
that respect that is lacking in
that section of the country, where
prejudice is prevalent.
The Bee will do all in its pow
er to aid DR.. Shepard to promul-
gate his new doctrine. This new
school of education is meeting
with approval throughout the
country He will do more, or as
much for his people, as any man
who has the education and i'm
provement of his people at heart.
Aside from the religious teaching
that the people will receive, DR..
Shepard will demonstrate to the
world that the Negro is able to
take in theories and methods that
will elevate his people to the
highest walks of life.

A WHITE MANS SNOBBERY

A prominent chemist of New York,
who is himself white man writes us
as follows:
A certain white man, writer Of
New York, has written to the Even
ing Mail newspaper, criticizing the
New York Age for publishing ads
of preparations which help colored
people to improve their appearance.
This white critic is a bigoted snob.
When white people spend millions
every year to make themselves look
well, it is all right, but the moment
colored people try to look we'll. such
men turn up their noses. Now it is
just as important for colored people
to improve their appearance as for
white people. Colored people get bet
ter positions and make more money
IL they are well groomed and prepos-
sessing and presentable. When col
ored people make more money and
use that money wisely, our sad race
problem will solve itself"

ject, colored people should write TO

chitecture of a box car, says Good
Housekeeping. Tomorrow he is build
ing villa" with real clapboards and
shingles, hiring a Chinaman of all
work and sending to Frisco for

very pretty little houses begin to dot
the barren landscape. A railroad
stretches its metal arm down into the
gold-bearing wilderness and links it
with the outer world Come tailOrs,
modistes and milliners, soda water
and ice cream, clergymen and drum

that splendid procession from the coy
corners of civilization.
Social conditions were decidedly
perplexing. Your washerwoman ac-
cepted a mining claim for al un10iiect-
able debt. Suddenly the claim ds
her a fortune, whereat, to sLn- ou
that her wealth has not made her
snobbish, she purchase an elaborate
portable house and settles down as
your next-door neighbor.
However, if you take it into your
head to move away from the vicinity
of the fortunate lavandiere you would
find the moving problem quite simple.
A small force of husky men can pull
your house up by the roots and carry
it up a hill or down a slope without
any great exertion-that is, unless
your dwelling is dObe, or you happen
to be one of the bonanza crowd and
have gone in for heavy architecture.

INTENDED TO
WRECK TRAIN
ED TO GO-GOT AWAY WITH
$1,000 FROM EXPRESS CAR
DROPPING $4,000 IN ESCAPE.

LEWISTON, Pa, Aug. 31.-Single
handed, a daring robber stopped the
westbound Pittsburg & Northern ex-
press on the Pennsylvania railroad.
eight miles east of here, early this
morning and robbed the express cat
of $1,000 in gold coin. He then
escaped to the mountains.
The robber was forced to leave
$4,000 in bullion IN the mountain
side, where the fireman of the train
had been forced to carry it, the
passengers having appeared armed
and ready to give battle to the bandit
after he left the train.
The train consisted of two engines
three express ears and two sleepers.
A torpedo had been placed on the
track by the robber and brought the
train to a stop.
The robber threatened to blow up
the express car with dynamite, fol-
lowing which it was opened and at
the direction of the robber the money
bags were carried to a side track
by the train crew.
1t is thought about $1,000 was OBJ
tanned. Several bags containing
pennies were found later near the
scene of the holdup, evidently having
been discarded. Investigation dis
closed six sticks of dynamite be-
tween the tracks where the cap was
exploded and it had evidently been
the intention of the robber to blow
up the train.

SETBACK FOR PROHIBITION.

Alabama's supreme court has de-
cided that liquor is property, and, as
such, is entitled to protection. AS a
! state wide prohibition law went into
effect in Alabama a little over six
months ago this ruling of its highest
court will attract attention outside
as well as inside that state. The Ii
quor interests are powerful there,
and they inted now to make a
demonstration which will cause the
country to take some notice of them.
The courts are to be appealed to for
protection, and the exclusion statute
will have to make a fight for its life.
Possibly the Bingham Age-Her-
aid is correct in saying that this de-
cision dooms prohibition in that
state to early extinction. AS in
Georgia. Mississippi and the other
states which have tried it, state wide
prohibition has been something of a
failure in Alabama. The country
remembers the attacks which Gov.
Hoke Smith of Georgia made upon
the law officers of Savannah because
of the fact, as he said, that more
whisky was drunk in that town in
the few months after prohibition
went on the books than there was in
the license days. According to OBJ
servers on the ground exclusion has
not excluded intoxicants from At
lanta. In Mobile and some of the
other Alabama towns the law vas
violated from the beginning.
The prohibitionists of Alabama,
however, have Jared about as well as
they have in Maine or any other state
which has put this restriction into
its constitution or its statutes. For
much more than half a Gentry Maine
has, theoretically, shut out intoxi-
cants, but the arrests for drunkenness
in some of its cities are more numer-
Gus, in proportion to population, than
they are in st. Louis or in the aver
age town outside of the prohibition
belt. Tennessee recently adopted
the cast iron exclusion code. No
body, however, supposes that it will
ever be effective in Memphis, Nash
vile or any other of its more i'm
portant towns. An attempt was made
this year to force prohibition upon
Missouri. but it was defeated. Pro-
hibition's friends say tn e crusade
will be renewed in the next legisla-
ture. If so, its failure then is likely
to be more complete than it was in
1909. Here and there prohibition is
meeting with ome setbacks which
are checking the movement. In
theory it has gained possession of
nine states. This number will hardly
be increased in the near future.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.
