We note that in the local option
fight two years ago some of the
local option speakers said they
would vote against whiskey every
chance they got. In the follow
ing presidential election the most
of them either voted for Taft or
Bryan. Now what l want to
know is this. if they are really
against whiskey. why didn't they
vote for the Prohibition party
the party that really opposes
whiskey? This shows that some
one has lied, for they mad a
chance to vote against whiskey
and failed to do so.
This shows that the local op-
ton supporters do not really op.
pose whisky as they say, but are
simply a political machine trying
to get political control. If this
is not so, why not vote with the
Prohibition party? Now 1, as
negro, cannot afford to take part
with such machine as this, and
you will find the very ones in the
lead of such machine doing no.
thing to help the negro.
Now if the good local option peo
pie who control factories and mills
open their doors and take the ne
gro in, | will join hands with you.
|, as negro, will not vote the go
negroes out of work and you shut
the shopdoor in their faces. Come
on; what do you say2 ALI ask is
fair play.

The Demand of the Hour


Amid the clamor, unrest and
upheaval of the political field
there never was a time in the
history of the negro race that
they needed organization and
leaders as now.
The negro vote that has been
the balance of power since the
Emancipation, has become so di
vided that neither the Republi.
can nor the Democratic party
cares for the negro vote. If the
negro would be felt and be in
position to demand respect in the
political field he must organize
select a leader and follow him.
What is true of the political field
is true of the religious and educ
ational field; in fact, we need
leaders in all walks of life.
Mr.. Harvey Watkins is one of
our wide. awake, energetic young
men in the renting. collecting,
loan, real estate and fire insur
ance business. He deserves cred
it for thrift, push, and ''stich to-
itiveness. Let's all give him a
helping hand.-J. T. Morrow.

A COMFORTING DISCOURSE.

The Herald has been requested by a
number of friends of the family to pub
fish the funeral sermon of young
James McGillis by Father Callahan
last week, which is as follows:
My Dear Brethren:
For the third time within compare.
| lively few weeks you are assembled
in this church to pray over not the
| remains of the old, the infirm, the
decrepit, but to pray for and to weep
over those who were much younger,
much stronger and much healthier
than yourselves, over flowers that
were nipped in the bud by the cold,
pitiless hand of death. When the blast
in its rage strikes down the old trees
of the forest we are not surprised.
But when the trees are young and to
ali appearance firmly rooted in the
soil we look for them to weather
many storm, and SO we are sad and
detected when we behold them in their
prime torn up by the roots. Each of
these young persons might truly ex-
claim with King Ezechios of old, my
life is cut off as by weaver; whilst
was yet beginning he cut me Off"
Oh, my friends, how true is 1t that
many. very many whist they are busy
weaving-that is preparing and exc
cutting the worldly projects which they
have devised with such care-are sur.
prised by death which suddenly cuts
short all their plans and brings them
in the twinkling of an eye before the
Judgment seat of God Mans life is
short; he cometh forth as flower and
is destroyed"
And this is true, my friends, even
OF the longest life on this earth. 1--WE
all die and like the waters that return
no more we fall into the earth" You
behold the streams and rivers flowing
on to the sea, and the passing waters
Will return no more. Thus will your
days pass away and bring you to the
portals of death. Pleasures pass.
amusements pass, pomp. praises. hon.
ors. dignities. acclamations pass; and
what remains, only the grave remain.
eth for me-" only a grave. a little.
little grave" You can take nothing
with you on that last sad Journey. you
must leave everything without excep.
ton; relatives. friends, family-these
must be left behind; house furniture
! riches. possessions-these. too. Won
