MINSTREL SUCCESS

With Each Rehearsal the Prospects
For the Great SHOW Grow

The success of the Elks Minstrel
next Wednesday night is now assured
The big chorus held an enthusiastic

tor is now wearing confident smile

and support them. Such work was be.
gun in Boston in 1873; in 1882 in Phil
adelphia, and in 1888 in New York. It
was found that it was entirely practil
cable, Miss Mason said, to place wonl-
en- with babies in domestic service,
chiefly in the country Or in small
towns where the children could have
the benefits of good air, wholesome
food and the personal care Of their
mothers. The increasing strIngency
in the domestic service market has re-
suited in an increasing demand from
a higher and better class of homes at
gradually increasing wages. The Phil
adelphia society secured positions last
year for 6O9 women with children. IN
fifteen years the New York Society
has provided more than 1000 situa-
tions for such women. The effect on
the life and healtn of the babies, the
speaker said was better than was
even anticipated Statistics were diff
cult to obtain, owing to the fact that
in many instances the taking of such
positions was merely temporary, So
far as they could be obtained, the fig
ured proved that deaths among chill
dren in situations with their mothers
were rare. Among the children under
supervision by one agency the number
OF deaths compared with the total
number under care has varied during
the past ten years from eight-tenths
of one per cent, to three and one-half
per cent. The effectiveness of the
plan as a means of saving lives was
strikingly indicated by the figures for
the period between October I. 1900,
and October /, 1902 OF the 2l0 babies
under one year Of age under the super
vision of one of the agencies during
that time 81 were known to be living
and 16 We're known to have died It
was found eventually that So OF the
1872 that could not be accounted for
originally were in good condition. In
.21 instances the children were not in
good condition. and the condition Of &c
was unknown.
AS Miss Mason pointed out, these
figures indicated that one-ffth Of the
babies whose record was known to the
society had died. and four-hfths were
living at the end Of the three-year
period. In four-hfths of the cases
also the children were in good eondi-
tion. and they were in poor condition
in one-fifth Of the cases. To make the
plan more effective. Miss Mason said
more places where incompetent women
can be trained are needed.

Negro Must Become More Eff
ficient or Give Way to I'm.
migration.

The ramifcations are infinite,
unending. And the doctrine is
true whatever the color of the
man. The ignorant negro in the
South is one of the greatest eco
nomic burdens with which any
people has ever had to contend.
From travel and observation in
ten Southern States l have al
most worked it out as a principle
of political economy, that other
things being equal. States and
communities are prospecting in
proportion to their white popu-
lation. l do not know what we
are going to do with the negro.
| do know that we must either
frame a scheme Of education and
training that will keep him from
dragging down the whole level
of life inSthe South, that will
make him more efficient
a prosperity-maker and not
a poverty-breeder, or else he
will get out of the South and.
give way to the white immigrant.
No acre of land will long own as
its master the man or the race
who mistreats it, and makes it
unfruitful. We must either
have the negro trained, or we
must not have him at all. I'm
trained, he is a burden on us all.
Better a million acres of untitled
land tern a million acres OF mis-
titled land.

par is a help; white or black, the
man whose efficiency is below
par is a hindrance. From an ad-

The Kansas legislature has re-
pealed the absurd provision in its
prohibitory law granting to drug
gists the right to sell whiskey &C
cording to their judgment of a
mans needs, and has decreed
that hereafter the druggist can
not sell liquor even on a physl-
clans prescription. The Kansas
prohibitory law, with its loose
provisions for the control and
sale of liquor, has been regarded
asa farce throughout the union.
and has retarded the advance of
prohibition. Advocates Of local
option or high license were al
ways pointing to the failure OF
the law in Kansas. Now If
Kansas does not become freak
ish" two years hence, and elect
a legislature that will repeal the
new law, we may expect a rea.
test of the merits of prohibitory
law in that state.

Hon. Jacob McGavock Dickin-

hon. JACOB McGaV0ck UlcKln'
son. who is mentioned as q pro
bable successor to Gen. Luke E.
Wright as secretary of war under
Taft, is a native Of Columbus,
Miss. having been born there in
the early ifties, and having re-
NAMED there until he was sixteen
when his parents moved to Nash
vile, Tenn. Judge Dickinson
was a lad in knicker -bockers
when the Civil war came on, but
the spirit Of daring which has
characterized his career as a
lawyer and a politician, was ap.
parent even in early youth, and
prompted him to join the local
militia, which was maintained in
order to prevent invasion by
federal troops. This organiza.
ton was under command Of Gen.
Ruggles, a graduate of West
Point. and stickler for military
discipline, and the general often
declared that he never had
more efficient soldier under hi:
command than Little Mac
! which was the sobriquet by which
Judge Dickinson was known il
those days. That Judge Dickin
son has never forgotten the day
of his youth, when, patrollin'
breastworks or laying concealed
in trenches, he guarded the cit.
of his nativity from invasion b,
the enemy, is evinced by the fac
that he is a member of tn
Columbus camp Of Confederat
veterans, and pays his due
