Look to the insids-sslf Help Hope Of
the Race.

Look to the insids-sef HsIp Hope Of
the Race.
The element Of encouragement has
without doubt taken a'permanent seat
within the breast Of the colored man.
Notwithstanding hostile legislation
and unreasoning prejudice and perse-
cution he Is everywhere keeping step
to the rattling drumbeat Of the march
Of progress, says the Dallas (Tex) Ex-
press. The main lesson to learn now
is to look to the inside. Self help is
the hope Of the race. Personal econ
omy and individual morality are the
factors which we must strive to cult
vate The leaders Of the colored peo-
pie, the preachers and schoolteachers,
must not fail to impress the rising
youth with the Importance Of self help.
The pages Of history are fairly ablaze
with shining examples OF men, nations
and races who through the cultivation
Of this trait have risen from obscurity
to greatness and usefulness. The rec
ord shows nobody barred. The line is
unbroken. Wherever a man has looked
up and tried to help himself in legit-
innate way he has been able to show
progress. Viewed from this standpoint,
the doctrine Of self help must Of neces-
sitv be classed as mans saving salt.

Burlington Presents Some Stagger-

Plea.

Chicago, Sept. 2s.-Arguments of
western railroads for permission to
increase freight rate tariffs are ex-
pected to reach an end today with
the close by the Burlington of its
case before the Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Edgar E.
Clark. The testimony of Frank E.
Ward, general manager of the Bur-
lington road, occupied the greater
part of the hearing yesterday. An
effort on the part of counsel for the
railroad to introduce a budget show
ing what Improvements are needed
on the road was not allowed.
In questioning Mr.. Ward as to his
valuation of $74,OO0,0O0 on the
equipment of the road, the attorney
sought to learn the manner in which
the figures were reached. ''If you
bought a car for $1,000 six years
ago, you could not now value it at
that f1gure?''
Yes, it is valued at the amount
it would take to replace it,
The witness gave an estimate as
to the valuations of some of the
principal terminals of the roads,
placing the valuation of Chicago at
4S,0OO,OO0, st. Joseph. Mo-. S6.-

BERLIN STRIKE
RIOTS ARE WORSE
Many Injured in Clashes of Mobs
With Police in German
Capital.

Berlin, Sept. 2S.-The rioting coal
strikers appear to have worn them
selves out during the night, and today
quiet prevailed throughout the Moabit
district.
Berling, Sept. 2S-Even greater
violence than that of Monday night
characterized the collisions between
police and rioters last evening.
Many were injured on both sides.
Thousands of strikers and their SYM
pathizers gathered in the streets as
soon as darkness fell.
Police, numbering 100 mounted
and 500 afoot, armed with revolvers
and swords, were under orders to
use the sharp edges Of their swords
instead of striking with the fat. The
rioters about 9 o'clock began the
trouble which increased as night ad-
vanced.
Exited men and women dashed
from place to place, smashing street
lamps and windows of stores. Several
stores were sacked of valuables, but
the tradesmen for the most part had
taken the precautions of lowering
the iron shutters and prevented ex-
tensive damage.
