COWARDLY SUBMISSION.

The Right Rev. Henry McNiel
Turner of Atlanta, senior bishop
of the African Methodist Episco-
pal church, accused his race of
cowardly submission to political
opposition and appealed to them
to stand up and fight for their
rights, IN an address Ia Chicago
recently. "You men and women
of the colored race" he said do
not realize your numerical pow
err, and you are too lazy to figure
1t out. A popular estimate of Ne
groes in the United States is
1000 900. That is far from cor
rect. There are not less than
100000 today in this country,
and there are 1900 colored ba.
bies born every day. We are
here and we should be a great
political factor or nothing. Al
present we are nothing, and as
long as we submit we shall have
our liberties gradually limited"

During all the sessions of Con.

atOr Stone wanted a drink Of

it quickly. The coIored waiter
on the Pullman car did not get it
quick enough and "Gumshoe

to get salts faction with his fists.
The next day the case was tried
before d magistrate in Baltimore,
who proved himself so lawless
and wanting in the qualities of

tiles of a law-abiding official as
Senator Stone. While Senator
Stone and the magistrate exhib.
tied the qualities of ruffians and
anaF chlsts, the waiter controlled
himself and appealed to the maj
esty of the law for his vindica
ton. There were two ruffians-

Negro waiter. Senator Stone
has not learned yet that the true
gentleman always offers to be
served after others. and not be.
fore them. The ruffian and the
uncultivated man want to be
served first. The cultured man
afterward.
While speaking of this Negro
waiter, we are tempted to add
that no one who travels on Pull

dining car can fail to note the
thoughtfulness, courtesy, pa
thence and self.control exhibited
by the nard working Pullman

thanked for the service which
they are constantly rendering the

The Kline Rape Case

Sheriff Cur derson retured Sunday
afternoon from Madison, with Art
Kline, who had been arrested near
there by the Lake county officials. he
was wanted here for rape alleged to
have been committed on the person OF
Julia Herrity about two weeks ago.
Kline was given tip that the officers
wanted him and went to Akron. He
left here for Madison just a few hours
ahead of the Union county officers.
This morning he was given chance
to plead, and waived examination and
was held under $4,000 bonds for trial at
the September term of court. 1t is
doubtful II he is able to raise the bond.
The case is certainly an aggravated
one and Kline Is being severity con-
demned on all sides. The trial next
month is sure to attract great deal OF
attention and Is likely to be somewhat
involved and prolonged. We hope
the exact facts may be obtained and
Justice brought to ell parties con Germ

PLEASURES OF FARM LIFE.
Science and invention Revolutionize
Methods In Agricultural Districts.

Old-fashioned life on the farm Is
fast disappearing. Things have quick
ened some and science has wrought
changes for the better. Drudgery has
been obliterated through improved
machinery and there is no reason why
the farmer Of to-day should not lead
life Of comparative gentle ease. In
stead of following the pillow he rides
the pillow. The sowing of the crops
and all this cultivation Is done by ma
chinery II is no uncommon thing to
find the farm house equipped with all
modern conveniences known to the
city folks, gas or electric lights, hot
and cold water and every sanitary In
novation. The telephone and the
rural delivery bring the farm close to
the town, and no longer need the
average farmer be behind the times as
to passing events. He has sufficient
leisure at his home fireside to acquire
greater fund of information from the
daily papers and other good literature
merchant or professional man who re-
sides in the city.
This closer communion with the
world at large has revolutionized farm
life and has robbed it of many unde-
sirable phases No longer does the
farmer feel abashed when among
townspeople on account of his lack of
information; rather he is proud of the
fact that he is quite as up-to-date and
well informed as any intelligent citi-
zen, 1t matters not where he may re-
side. This feeling on the part OF the
farmer has changed his attitude
towards the home town. He has come
to q realization that the distance be-
tween the farm and the town has been
annihilated and that his work on the
farm is an important thing In the
maintenance OF the nearby town. He
is interested In good roads, he is in
terested In all local improvements.
These are matters of Importance to
him just as well as things directly re-
lating to his farm. The farmer Is be-
ginning to realize, even more than the
merchant, the relationship Of the agTi-
cultural district to the home town.
It Ii now up to the residents OF the
villages and the small cities to study
Into conditions and to place the proper
estimate upon the Importance of the
farmers work In town maintenance.
