The Proud and Prosperous Negroes or
 Chicago.

New orleans Picayune.
 News from Chicago Is pNnted this morning to the effect that the ne- groes of whom there is large col ony in that city. are so prosperous that they are invading the best resi- dence districts with their homes and are crowding their children into schools which were hitherto only at tended by whites.
 Education will eever give the ne groes the social position they crave, This is an age when material wealth is the only passport to social advance ment and If negroes can get so rich in Chicago as to be able to buy houses in the most aristocratic white resi- dential districts. and force themselves into social recognition, nothing in the way of law can prevent it.
 Of course. there is no such advance ment for the shiftless, propertyless negroes. but those of them who are able to accumulate wealth in the Northern States should all go there. as doubtless they will, and seek sociai recognition by the whites.
 For much more than century Northern statesmen, Northern phtlan- thropists. Northern divines and North ern newspapers have been teaching the negroes that they should be on the same social level with the whites. and after waging a bloody and ter ible war to demonstrate the fact, were able finally to incorporate that decla- ration of equality into the national constitution. and 1t IS upon that con- stitution that they are demanding so- cial equality.
 As they cannot get such recognition in the South, 1t is natural that the negroes should turn Northward to the people who gave them the guarantee They are going into the Northern States in a steady stream. and the fact that they are attaining great prUsper- ity there will carry off constantly ln- creasing numbers. The negroes are migrating to the Northern States un- der the operation of powerful politi- cal and social influences, and 1t IS go- ing to be demonstrated by the next census that the movement has been very much greater than Is imagined The dispersion and distribution oi great numbers of the Southern ne groes through NOl thern States will be the solution of the race problem quietly and peaceably attained.
 The old-time negroes had theIr best and Iruest friends among the whites In the Southern States. but tne new negroes, whose aspirations and ambi- lions are for social recognition by the white people, must go to the North ern States, where alone in this coun- try they can hope and expect to real ize it

Much has been said about the time consumed by Dr. Cook in getting back to civilization. but according to one of the Eskimos who was with him, they were fortunate in getting back at all. The devil was sick, or having t@uble with his wife" he ex- plains, "or we would not have gotten back so easily" That accounts for it. perhaps. but was it not rather a cold climate for his Satanic majesty?

Own the Worlds Gold.

New Orleans PIcayuHt' :,
 If Is a somewhat curious fact that the English speaking nations own nearly all the worlds productive gold mines.
 Thus England, with its Canadian, Austra- Han. and South African mines, is credited with q per cent aS,ns and the United ss ner cent while all the rest of the world Sets the remainder of IT per cent.
 According to the statistics for 1907, the araount of gold mined in the whole world

Opponents of the amendment can take courage from the words of the great English dramatist that Thrice Is he armed that hath his quarrel just" The justice of our cause Is like a coat of mail that the spears and arrows of abuse and calumny cannot pierce. and the abiding and un- swerving conviction that our quarrel is just Is weapon that intolerance and fanaticlsm cannot stand against. So let the slogan be, Charge. Ches- ter. charge! On. Stanley. on!' and God will strengthen the arms that are fighting for the preservation and integrity of the Constitution.

AMERICAN ACHIEVEMENTS.
What Our Country Has Contributed Toward
 Advancement of Race.

Boston Globe,
 Americans founded the first government under which all men were equal before the law. Since the Declaration of Independ- ence was published to the world the demo cratic idea has Hourly received new impulse until now its march seems irresistible.
 Americans We're the first to demonstrate the feasibility of relying on a citizen sol diery to defend the land and Its institutions against foreign domestic attack.
 Americans were the first to abolish titular distinctions and to deprive social eminence of any support save character or the con- sensus of those who choose to consider them selves socially elect.
 It was an American who Invented the steamship.
 An American invented the telegraph.

Controversy In Discovery of Pole Discredita-

 All of this controversy is discreditable to the American nation. If Cook really found inc pole 1t is shameful to question his hon esty If he didn't it is an unpleasant thing that he can call himself an American. Un- til he makes a full statement of his posi- tion no decisive opinion as to the truth of his story can be reached. Why not walt. then until he does that?

k the conference and he had teiegraphed the carmack resolutions. When MT. Crawford approached him. at Greens boro the Carmack revolutions were In The Advertiser office and probably already in type.
 For this reason Mir. Collier declined the proffered resolutions. and In the conversation repeated the general in- attractions at Greensboro not to wire fin resolutions in full, unless they were of vital importance. And the carmack resolutions had already gone in.
 As to the conversation. which took place when the resolutions were brought to Mir. Collier there is diff ference in the recollections of MT. Crawford and MT. Collier. The diff ference could in no way affect the stubborn immovable fact that the Advertiser printed the carmack reso- lutions. If there was entire har- mony in their recollection of the con versation neither would that in any wise affect the ineradicable fact that The Advertiser printed the reso- lutions.
 Every word of the Greensboro Con- ference reports had to be telegraphed Into The Advertiser office. This situation was recognized before MT. Collier left the office and he was given the general instructions. not to go to, the cost of telegraphing all the many resolutions that would be adopt ed, but to select the more important, secure the salient features and tele- sranb them in. He classified the Car mack resolutions as belonging to the important actions of the body ana wired accordingly. And if The Adver- tiser instructed MT. Collier to sup press the resolutions, why did he violate his instructions and send them in? And if The Advertiser intended to suppress the resolutions why were they printed. and why were they given such a prominent place and under such interest-attracting head lines? No, MT. Collier was not instructed to suppress anything. nor did he suppress anything.
 Mir. Crawford is a minister of the gospel. in the light of the record does his zealous action in this matter conform to the charity and toleration which his church teaches?
 The Advertiser regrets that minis- ter of the gospel should have inter- posed himself In this political contro- yersy. MT. Crawford was not in- volved and nowhere to be seen. when fray of his own accord and took the quarrel of another man, we deeply deplore. The doctrine of self defense is as much an inherent right of newspaper as 1t is of an individual. The Advertiser is in, no way respon- sible for the controversy. It was vfciously attacked by A. F. Smith and replied to him as he deserved. It was then attacked by Rev. E. L. Crawford and it makes answer to him. While opposition and tyranny has made great headway. in Alabama the right of free speech has not been abolished and The Advertiser shall answer at- tacks, whenever and wherever they are made.
 The Alabama Christian Advocate rushes to the support of MT. Crawford. even as he rushed to the support of Smith. We print the attack of The Christian Advocate on The Advertiser on this page. Win The Advocate be fair enough to publish The Adver. tiser's reply to the charge which 1t has already published?

4 LESSON LEARNED.

New York Evening Post.
 At least one lesson from the heat this summer has been derived by dwellers in the mon sense Is coming to the fore when the mercury bubbles in its tube. The city busi- ness man has been dressing for comfort and health Never before has there been so much use of the shirt with the soft collar dispensing with the fence Of linen which custom had come to demand. soft collar no longer lays man open to the charge Of being artist poetaster.

 people of Alabama had to look to The Advertiser to see what the conference had done-and looking they read fuu account of the Carmack resolu- tions. And in after years, should any historian wish to see what the Ala hama conference did in reference to the death of Senator Carmack he will have to go. not to the records of the Conference. but to the files of The Advertiser.f
 MT. Collier. who reported the Con ference and who made such a full re- port on the Carmack resolutions is one of the brightest most energetic and valuable reporters that The Advertiser has eyer had in its employ. We have full confidence in his capacity and integrity-a confidence justified by the full report he sent in of the Car mack resolution. The record of his thorough and earnest work at Greens boro, is protection against jealous ef- fort to impair the influence of the paper In a great political contest when those efforts have the influence and backing of certain representatives of great church organization.
 MT. Crawford quotes a conversation at GreeHsboro between him and Mir Collier. when the secretary handed Mir. Collier a copy of the Carmack resolutions. Some time before this conversation MT. Collier had tele-
