soldier He is gentle, submissive,
teachable, strongly attached to those
who treat him with kindness, slow to
anger, but not easily soothed when
aroused. His devotion to sentiment,
whether of friendship or religion, is
intense. He is sentimental in the
best sense. His bright fancy and ro-
mantle thoughts lead him to the en-
joyment of fiction and poetry, and
had he been trained in the schools,
these departments of belles-lettres
would have been his debtor. Such
man makes an ideal soldier.
The Friends He Made.
The ordering of a Negro regiment
to garrison or post near city re-
suits in protests sent in to the War
Department to revoke it. This was
the case when the Twenty-fourth was
ordered from New Mexico to Fort
Douglas, Utah After it was there a
year the Republican paper that was
against it makes this appeal for them
to remain at Fort Douglas
The act of sending the Twenty
fourth infantry to the Philippines
would seem an imposition on this
regiment, simply because they are
regulars and have no one to intercede
for them at the department, as have
the state troops This regiment oc-
cupied the trenches at San Juan Hill
from the time of it's capture at about
1 o'clock on the afternoon of the 1st,
until about o'clock the evening OF
the I'd of July, when they were re-
lieved for a short time, having to re-
enter them when the attack was
made on that night. 1t may be that
other regiments did the same, and
that the Twenty-fourth is no more
entitled to longer stay in the United
States than any other; but where is
there any other regiment in the Uni
ted States, or any other in the world
that performed such duty as this reg
iment performed after the surren
der?
The people of Salt Lake City hope
that the War Department will recon
slider the present intention in the in
terest of humanity, if for no othel
cause. The war with Spain was
waged for the interest of humanity
During the Spanish-American Wa
and Filipino insurrection the Presi
dent desired to give the Negro an op
portunity to prove his loyalty ant
show patriotism. This called up the
same old fear, and many were the
doubts.

| Angeles Negroes shows several of the

them, the appearance of which is al
evidence that the colored citizens OF
the coast are possessed with tha
pride that leads to success.

The most unique way of telling the
world the real meaning of the recent
general celebration of the one hun
dredth anniversary of the birth Of
Abraham Lincoln was that set forth
by the Los Angeles Daily Times, of
Los Angeles, CAL Their eight pages
of special news concerning the ac-
complishments of the Negroes since
the emancipation proclamation was
signed will go a long way toward set
ting forth to the world the wisdom
in the act.
Lieut.-Co Allen Allensworth, U. S.
A., retired, writes interestingly of
Negro soldiers in the army. He says
in part as follows:
There is quite difference be-
tween the Negro and white soldier.
The elements entering into these
conditions are worthy of mention
First it should be remembered that
the organizations composed of Ne
groes are the only purely American
organizations in the army. Other
regiments may take to themselves
the American name, but examine the
roll and you will find them mixed as
the colors of Joseph's coat-Irish,
German, French, Italian-all the
strains under the sun. The enlisted
Negro proclaims loudly the fact that
he is the only Simon-pure American
child of the soil for more generations
than he can count. The only natural
ization record in his family was writ
ten more than forty years ago from
Sumter to Appomattox.
1t is remarkable that when an Off
Ger is promoted out of a Negro regi-
ment he seeks transfer back to it be-
cause he finds these Negroes to be
the best material to develop into eff
ficient soldiers. An officer who came
from white regiment said to the
writer that the white soldiers he had
handled had changed his nature
This, l am inclined to think, is not a
condition that obtains now. Then a
large number of the Bowery class of
ether conditions are better, hence a
better class of white men.
Let us look at the qualifications
necessary for a soldier in the Negro
Nature gave him excellent gifts OF
limb and constitution. The color of
skin, texture Of hair, solidity OF
Uranium and perfect teeth were his
safeguards against the malignant
climate of Africa. Transplanted, he
bore we'll the semi-tropical climate
of the Southern States. Generations
Of servitude failed to impair his phys
ical virtues, but rather enhanced
them He was proof against heat

and thirst with peerles fOrtitude
Under slavery he was overworked
poorly fed partly clothed, wretchedly
housed and cruely treated until his
body grew ill-shaped. But his rapi(
recuperative powers have been prov

ton since his escape from bondage
he has grown back into the magnifl
cent heritage of his savage forefa
thers. What is more, he has devel

MARYLAND SCHOOL MATTERS IN
BAD PLIGHT.

From the clipping below it is evil
of the State of Maryland are being
very unjustly treated by the public
school authorities:
"The policy of managing the schools
of Annapolis ought to call forth pro-
test from every right thinking person
in Annapolis, without regard to race.
Only think of the dire results of turn
ing over eight hundred children out
upon the community in ignorance and
idleness nine months in twelve. Then
the thought that child has but one
chance to go through life makes the
fact of going through ignorant more
horrible.
"The white schools are kept open
for nine months, the colored only
three. Some of us kicked; then few
dollars were found to reopen the in
dustrial branch, and two rooms for
the full term.
"The benign purpose out of which
our common school system has grown
was to afford to every child, without
regard to race or rank, the best posi-
BILE facilities to fit them for good and
useful citizenship. Nor was it intend
ed that these facilities should be lin
tied to the amount of revenues arising
from the exclusive amount of taxes
paid by any race variety, but from
the common school fund for the COM
mon good What the Negro fails to
afford in revenues from his properties
he yields in profitable labors. But
you can't get these three RS" dis
ciples to agree on anything more equi.

oerned. "-Afro-American Ledger.

VIRoQUA, WIS, Sept. 8, 1909.


The partial blight on Wisconsin to-
bacco is keenly felt by growers and
dealers. With practically a recovery
from drought and good feeling manifest
at the outlook for an average crop in
quantity and quality and bright pros
poets for remunerative selling prices,
it seems cruel that frost should nip the
maturing crop and cause financial loss
to raisers. The question of damage is
variously estimated from ten to thirty
per cent of the standing crop, and a
consequent depreciation in prices. One
meets farmer who tells him that there
was no appreciable injury, while the
next man he meets from the same sec
ton gives doleful account of the loss.
And It is peculiar fact that one field
is noticeably affected while an adjoin-
ing acreage is apparently clean and
bright. If we were to make a conser-
vative estimate of the loss to growers
by last weeks freeze we should say
fifteen per cent damage fair state
ment. It was fortunate that many
farmers had shielded at least portions
of their crops, but the great bulk of
acreage stood in fields when the frost
came. There is occasionally crop that
is scarcely worth harvesting, but in the
main farmers will do well to handle
with care. Censor.

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. z, 1909.
The drouth continues, and the tobac-
co, as regards growth, has been at a
standstill Some cutting has been done
but it is not yet general, the growers
appearing to be willing to take chances
of frost and letting the tobacco ripen
as thoroughly as possible before cut
ting. 1t will be short crop at best,
not much over half crop, in fact, but
there will be good deal of excellent
filler grades. That the bulk of the crop
will be small-leaved does not argue
that it will be poor tobacco. Packers
say the crop may make the very best
of filler goods. The growers are show
ing lots of nerve by letting their crops
stand as late in the season as this, and
it is to be hoped the frost will keep off
until the cutting is over.
A good deal of 1908 tobacco has been
sold lately, mostly changing hands
from one local packer to another,
though with few outside sales. There
is a marked stiffening of prices on these
goods.
Prices have braced up lately on the
1906 and 1907 goods, too, but there is
not much old goods left to trade with

NEW Y DIRK, Sept. IL, 1919.
Market conditions continue to be ac-
tive and even lively. But it is not a
question any more of getting the much
coveted Connecticut broadleaf, but of
getting any stock at figures which pre-
vailed at the opening of the season.
Imperceptibly prices have advanced and
they are certain to advance with seven
mile-leagues when the true meaning of
the official report on the condition OF
our cigar leaf crops, as published on
another page of this issue of the Unit
ed States Tobacco Journal, is thorough
" digested. Of old stock there may be
remnants here and there in second
hands, but packers may be said to be
thoroughly cleaned out OF 1t. There IS
in the market, therefore, only the bind
er and filler crop OF last year. which IS
awaiting sampling. In view, however,
of the great shortage and defective de-
velopment of this years binder and
filler crops, packers are evidently In no
hurry to offer last years binder and
filler packing at panic prices. The out
look is for rapid advance on these
tvpes. and the advance is likely to rise
with the progress of the season. To
strike rising zeal HidIhec with .hC

The most remarkable feature of the
week has been the buying of the new
Connecticut Broad leaf by firms not
hitherto specializing this type. In some
instances from 25 to 35 cents through
have been paid. This line of operations
appears no less interesting when it is
taken into consideration that many of
the houses who in past years have been
associated in the trades mind with

deeming purchase at this stage of the

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

So many things are liable to happen
to the tobacco crop between seed time
and harvest that it is almost futile for
the government statistical bureau to
attempt to publish monthly bulletins
concerning the condition of the crop as
a guide in determining the final OUT
come. This is particularly true of the.
report of September 1st which gives
the Wisconsin crop the very low figure
of 73 per cent, or four points lower
than that of August 1st. Now, about
the truth of the matter. Whether the
agents of the government were aware
of it or not, but September 1st found
our tobacco crop the most promising
for several years past at that date. A
phenomenal growth following the July
drouth all through August brought the
fields up to a harvest that looked like a
100 per cent year. Only for the frosts
that have curtailed the crop in the
northern sections, the yield would
be an enormous one. In the southern
counties tremendously heavy crop is
going into the sheds, that for size and
soundness of leaf has not been equaled
for years. Packers are already talking
of yield of four cases to the acre,
which shows the futility of publishing
to the world that Wisconsin tobacco
September 1st was 73 per cent crop.

The buying movement has been push
ed along under high pressure again this
week though there are some indications
that the rush to the green fields will
soon commence to subside for many of
the dealers operating have their orders
about filled. Under the stress of lively
competition prices have crowded up to
little higher figures and the bulk of the
sales are above the 10 cent mark now.
Some sections outside of the frost linn
its are pretty well cleaned up and es-
Inmates are made that half the crop is
under contract to date. Sales reach
ing US indicate the trend of prices:

The harvest is going on rapidly and
by the close of the week the bulk of
the crop is destined to be secured. The
warm, sultry weather this week has
brought just such conditions that pro-
duce shed burn when the sheds are
crowded, and it is by no means i'm
probable that some damage has been
sustained from this source.
Except for slightly increased de-
mand for old leaf the market has but
little news. C. F. Mabbett has pur-
chased 25Ocs lot of '08 from a White
