of Herbert Spencer Hadley as
Governor of Missouri. For 38 years

our prayers have been answered.

most brilliant ever witnessed in the

Governor Hadley's inaugural address
was pronounced the ablest ever de

What a sight for a Ceylon elephant

Ceylon is the only part of the world

power in certain states. Because of
the Presidents course in the Browns
vile affair he threatened to do what
he could to defeat the Republican
presidential candidate. The threat
was carried into effect to only lin
tied extent, tut another tine it may
be used much more effectuaTIy.
The time has come, as suggested by
Senator Newlands, to have a national
policy in respect 10 the Negro. It
has come because of the need. of a
national policy respecting all races
that are not white. This is a country
for the white race. and if races of
other colors are permitted to partici-
pate in its government there IS bound
to be trouble. sooner or later. 4
country to be great and strong must
be peopled and governed by those
who love it and have an abundance
of patriotism. The brown and yellow
and black races, not assimilating with
the white, cannot have much love of
country if they are not permitted to
have an equal part in its govern
ment, and the white race isn't going
to consent to that. Therefore there
is sure to be antagonism between the
races, particularly if the weaker races
are allowed to have certain privileges
and denied others. 1t is better to
have it clearly understood that the
rulers are the whites. If nothing is
expected there will be no grievance.
The situation will be accepted.
If Senator Newlands interview
marks the beginning of an agitation
resulting in the establishment of a
national policy respecting the brown,
yellow and black races he will have
the satisfaction of knowing that he
was instrumental in doing the nation
1 great service.

Smokeless Coal.

A London inventor claims to have
discovered a process for producing
umokeless coal. apparently by distil-

This. after distillations is said to de-
posit a very brilliant substance, the
heating properties OF which are far
greater than those of the original
coal, and which is absolutely free
from smoke and dirt. The inventor
contends that efforts to overcome the

successful because they have been

that by the extraction Of abe smoke

Where to be Located?
Hillsboro, North Carolina. Hills
boro is one of the oldest towns in the
State, The site embraces 40 acres OF
land running near the small chain OF
Occoneechee Mountains. A little
stream winds its way through the
beautiful woodland. A quiet, pic

to three of the most prosperous cities

Why Such an Institution?
There is no similar one for the col

modelled after Mortified and Winona.
Is the Location Central?
North Carolina is the happy me-

South. The conservative feeling OF
its white citizens. makes the State
especially attractive to colored people.

NJ NEWLANDS RIGHT


ABOUT IT?
From the Savannah, Georgia, News
Senator Newlands of Nevada wrote
a letter to the Legislature of that
state the other day counselling CON
servative action respecting the anti
Japanese legislation pending in the
California Legislature. In the course
of it he had something to say about
national policy respecting the race
problem in which he included the Ne
gro race of this country He gave
out an interview to the Associated
Press on Sunday night on the same
subject, III which he expressed practi-
cally the same views as those set
forth in his letter to the Nevada
Legislature. The interview following
the letter so quickly justifes the con-
clusion that his expressions on the
race problem struck a popular chord.
And why shouldn't the country at
once take up the question of ma
tional policy to solve the race prob
lem? 1t is the consensus of opinion
that this should be exclusively a
white mans country and that white
men alone should be concerned in its
government. That being the case, if
the people were to put that opinion
into a statute there would be no
further need of diplomacy in regard
to it. And the diplomacy is very un-
satisfactory. 1t is full of peril, and
It is all the while in need OF tinker
ing. 1t would be much better to have
it understood once for all that we
don't want an element of brown or
yellow men in our population and
that it is our purpose to eliminate
the black man as soon as possible
from politics.
The South is ready now for such
elimination, and the North is getting
ready. The white people of the North
are beginning to realize that only
trouble need be expected if the policy
of permitting the Negro in politics IS
continued AS the Negro becomes
better educated and increases in
wealth he will naturally insist upon
larger share in the government.
And he will use the power which the
ballot gives him to get it. In the re-
cent election he showed that he un-
derstood the value of the balance OF

The lecture was preceded by
a number of jubilee selections,
rendered by a quartette of local
singers, including Mrs. John Dry,

John Dry, tenor. They sang for

Rev. DR.. Adams, pastor of the

speaker of the evening. Mr..
Dancy, who is known by thou
