A campaign against the disease
playing havoc with the Negro, con-

Thousands of college and high

to live down by their success their
neighbours prejudice and the race
problem, The demand for an ed.
ucation is being supplied more
largely today than ever before. A
wise philanthropy is increasing IFS
generous aid of Negro education.

of Negro education, Judge Taft

committee will be held in the

meaning of the New Year to the

COLOR LINE DRAWN IN TRAINING
HOSPITALS FOR COLORED GIRLS

The course of 1908 has devalop-
ed into the Negro race through
many of the Negro doctors in the
United States When we pause
to think that we hold preju lice
amongst ourselves and then wan
der why the whites are prejudiced
we come to the conclusion that the
white man has more reasons to be
prejudiced than Negro against
Negro In six letters it has been
brought TO our notice that a wo
man of dark complexion is not per
mitted to enter training hospital.
as our doctors refuse to have them
handling their instruments and
wait on them. If this damnable
state of affairs exists among us
and be permitted to continue,
trnly the condition of. the race is
pitiable.
Names of doctors have been
furnished us by several of these
ladies, but we hope that a Lint to
the wise will be sufficient to pro
mote a more harmonious feeling.

receive but heeting notice. In the
last few days a Negro editor has
been appointed State Librarian of
West Virginia. A Negro heads
the naturalization bureau at Bos-

Assistant District Attorney for the
government at Chicago. Balti-

Politically, the Negro has tri-
umphantly passed through a crisis.
The election of Taft gave great
and neeoed boon to the cause of
equal rights. 1t has rendered ST
lence and impotent the Negroes
enemies in the nation. The can
cerous 'lily white" Republican
party in the South sustained and
possible only through FEDERAL pat
ronage. has received a death blow
in the ultimatum of President
elect Taft at the dinner of the
North Carolina Society of New
York. During the year the avow-
el opponents of Negro progress in
sew raj States, wishing to climate
and circumscribe the races rights,
as Vardaman in Mississippi wish
ing to repeal the Fifteenth Amend
ment, Cowhead in Missouri wish
ing to Jim crow" Negroes and the
Democratic party in West Virginia
wishing to disfranchise Negroes,
were turned down. Industrially
during the year the Negro has
gained in wealth, business and
property everywhere. Thousands
and thousands of Negroes accord
ing to our observation, own homes
in this country to day who did not
own them a year ago today. AT
,ast half dozen new Negro banks
le in the North at Chicago, bust
ness enterprises including realty
companies, innumerable fraternal
temples as in New Orleans and
Jacksonville, a large increase in
government employees, the extern
sion of the "buy-land" movement
in the South, all proclaim a pro
gress and beginning of co opera
ton among Negroes as general as
it is gratifying.

NEGRO BOXERS MORE
SK|LLFUI THAN WHITES

Speaking of the superiority of
Negro boxers the Rocky Mountain
News says in part:
The fact of Jack johnson de-
feating Tommy Burns for the
heavyweight championship and
being the first black man to ever
win that honor or even have
chance to compete for it, has di-
rected great attention for the pres
ent to the colored pugilists Ev-
cry student of boxing must have
noticed that the leading Negro
fighters are more skillful as boxers
then the Leading fighters of the
white race, and it may need con-
siderable investigation to explain
Just why this is the case
NoT It would be, interesting to
discover just why the colored
boxers should lead at the point
which requires brainwork and
study, as well as constant thought
and practice One man who has
seen all the leading boxers and
fighters of the present and past
generation is satisfied in his mind
that the reason for the black mans
superiority in boxing can be found
in the singleness of purpose.

The New York Age of last week
had the following review of the
Negro and his progress:
z In no one of the forty-five years
Tof its free history perhaps. has the
Negro race made such happy ard
substantial strides forward as in
the year just closing. Looking
calmly and honestly at the position
of the citizens of color in this re-
public after the lapse of the last
wear who can doubt this? What
Negro is there with soul so dead
realizing his better position, as
NOT to be inspired to harder labor
and greater progress for the future? :?
This, we believe, is the meaning
of the old year and the new for the
Negro.
Untoward incidents neither few
nor insignificant, but emphasized
as always and everywhere, have
come. But closer review will re
veal them matched by events both
favorable and encouraging. The
Berea College case gave the sane.
ton of law to Kentucky's separa
ton of her black and white stu
dents. But this illwind has blown
new Berea costing a half million
dollars to the Negroes of Kentucky.
Michigan by decision. the exact
reverse of that in the Berea case
NAV not refuse to colored students
admission to her educational insti-
tions. The Negro soldiers at
Brownville came in for much
criticism and political discussion.
But the Negro soldiers in the
Philippines and the Negro cavalry
at West Point have won warm
paise' While by recent executive
order four Negroes with commits
stoned officers rank and pay will
henceforth lead the four bands of
the famous Negro regiments.
Fierce and bitter mob law has laid
it's cursed hand upon Negroes in
various sections of this country
during the past twelve months.
That same mob law reaching high
er up has struck down leading
white citizens, has destroyed and
stifed industry and thereby has
brought about deep and WIDE
spread movement for the extlnc-
ton of mob law.
More than all that, the Negro
has made achievements and has
received recognition, which a gen.
