over there. But the more | thought 1t
over the more l became convinced
that the undertaking was too arduous,
so | declined. The conditions seem to
me TO be so different in the various
provinces of South Africa that 1t
would be very hard to generalize.
q have no hesitation IN saying, how
ever, that IN some matters the same
policy ought to be pursued there as IN
the Southern States OF America. The
Negroes in the South have their vices
and weaknesses, but nine-tenths of
them work hard. They work because
their wants have been increased
through contact with the white man
and through education. Instead of
stopping when he has enough money
to buy 4 chew of tobacco, the AmerI-
can Negro now works five or SIX days
a week, and benefits by it morally and
materially. One of the main things
to be done in South Africa IS to in
crease by the proper kind of eduCa-
ton the wants of the COlOTed pOpu
latiOn."
No one," he resumed" can imagine
the atmosphere of the South who has
not lived there. White and black have
closer individual relations than any
where else in the world. In every
community there is at least one white
man whose family owned the cOlOrcd
men or their fathers, and the personal
interest manifested by that white man
in the COlOred man IS often remark
ably strong.
Only a few weeks ago | met a col
ored man who had been educated by
Alexander Stephens, Vice resident of
of the Southern COnfederaCy. His fam
lily had been owned by Stephens; con-
sequcntly, when the war was over,
Stephens sent him through college.
These are the sort of sweetenIng IN
fluences-sweetenin in spite of the
strange fact that they spring out OF
slavery-which cannot operate for the
settlement of the color problem in
South Africa"
NO" he said, in reply to a ques
ton, Il do not feel any alarm con-
cerning the future. Over here, if
there is a lynching in the South, you
hear of it the next day. but if the col
ored people build college, or organ
ize a bank, or start a drug store, or
erect a dozen houses IN a community,
it is not heard of You hear of the
worst things, not of the best
The most hopeful sign of all, it
seems to me, is that the white popula-
ton are eager for the education of the
colored people, so that they are even
willing TO pay the expenses of educa-
tional tours among them"

CITIZENS ASSOCIATION
VIII Demand Bruce's Removal.


A meeting of representative citizens
met at the office of The Bee Monday
morning at II o'clock for the purpose
of considering the organization of a
Citizens Public School Association.
The meeting was called to order by
w. Calvin Chase, and Attorney A. w.
Scott was elected Secretary. In call
ing the meeting to order, Mr.. Chase
stated that the colored schools of this
city were in a deplOrable condition;
that the Board of Education is not
properly informed by the colored
school officers; that competent teach
ers have been transferred and demOt-
ed and teachers of lower marking
have been appointed i'll their stead;
that teachers are being dropped with
out investigation, but simply on the
recommendation of the assistant SUI
perintendent of schools, who is re-
sponsible for the friction in the col
ored schools Mr. Chase further stated
that the citizens of Deanwood, D. C.,
had petitioned the Board of Educa
ton not to appoint F. l. Cardozer,
| who had been formerly dismissed from
the schools, in place of Miss Bell
NllncI, WHO ldu ny IIdI u ldUOl OIiAAt :
up the school; that their petitions and
protests had been disregarded and not
even acknowledged. 1t is the object
of the meeting, further, stated Mr..
Chase, to appeal to the Board of Edu-
cation for the removal of Mr.. Bruce
as assistant superintendent of the
colored schools. The Board is entitled
to respect, and if nothing is then done,
an appeal will be made to Congress
to investigate the colored schools and
request that the office of colored as
sistant superintendent be abolished, as
nine-tenths of the cOlored teachers are
opposed to the longer retention OF
| Bruce; that the teachers would rather
be under the supervision of Mr.. Stew
art, or some other person like him,
than under Bruce.
On motion of Attorney Scott II
was decided to appoint a committee OF
Fl citizens looking to the holding OF a
public meeting of the people. The

BASEBALL TIPS

Johnny Evers says the question
whether Johnny King could recover
his old time form in throwing and bat
ting has been answered in the affirma-
tive.
Walter Johnson, W%ashington's star
finger, is seriously handicapped when
Street is out Of the game, as Becken-
dorf and Henry appear unable to catch
him.
Needless wonder has been expressed
over Manager Bresnahan pitching
against Brooklyn recently. Bresnahan
started his career as a pitcher and then
became a catcher.
The Cincinnati Reds steal more bases
than any other team and yet fail to
score as many runs as several clubs.
What's the answer to that inexplica-
BILE mathematical problem?

to have the greatest throwing outfield

old speed, and a few misplays threw

critics figured, as was natural. that
Frank Chance had a fine old bunch of
has-beens on his hands and that the
once great baseball machine had gone
to pieces. Few clubs have gone along
winning pennantS and worlds cham
pionships without needing complete re-
organization within five years or less
of their first success. 1t was only rea-
sonable to believe that the Cubs had
had their day and hat Chance would
have to dig up new and young mate
rial.
The clubs with younger talent beat
the Cubs earlier in the season. 1t
surely looked as though Chicago would
have to be satisfied with third place
at best. Things have changed a whole
lot since then.
The kids have shot their bolts. But
the Cubs are travelling fast and play
ing a game that is seldom equaled in
the National league. They are the
class, and it looks as if nothing will
stop them from walking home with
the flag, just as they did in 1906, 1907
and 1908.
The club is batting, fielding and run
ming the bases better than ever, and
apparently there is not a weak spot
on the team. Schultz. Holman and
Sheckard in the outfield are gobbling
up everything sent out to their gar
dens. The catching department is
stronger than ever. King has about
reached his old form, and Archer is
almost his equal. The pitching staff
is the largest and strongest in the Ma
tional league, and it's members are in
rare form.
That wonderful stone wall intield-
Chance, Evers, Tinker and Steinfeldt-
is a corker. That phrase Thinker
to Evers, to Chance" made famous by
the baseball critics, will always be re-
membered by the fans. There proba-
bly, will never be a more famous in
field than this one. 1t is considered
the brainiest that ever appeared on the
diamond.
The Cubs are right now playing as
fast a game as when they were win
ming worlds championships. They're
the class. and. barring an awful run
of hard luck, they'll Just about walk
home with that old flag.

For Championship Meet.

New Orleans University Getting Ready
For Championship Meet.
The Tulane university field in New
Orleans, which will stage the national
championships Of the Amateur Ath-
letic union to be held Oct. II, is now
ready for the athletes. About $4,000
has been expended on the field. New
jumping and vaulting pits have been
built on the oval, and a football grid
iron and basketball courts are now
finished. The one-quarter mile track
and the 900 yard straightaway are
among the best in the country. They
are modelled after those built for the
jamestown and st. Louis expositions.
The municipal government is back
ing the meet. Business men and civic
organizations are lending help. In ad-
dition to the $4,000 secured to make
the athletic field a first class ground,
$4,000 has been sent to Secretary Sui
Ivan in New York to defray the ex-
penses of the athletes who go for the
contests.
With the money and time which will
be expended and the ardent support
of influential citizens. it is believed
there will be no excuse for criticism
on the action awarding the meet to
New Orleans.

Many years ago when New York
was a comparatively small town, two
men were at work over a set of COM
mercial books in the Office Of a small
store in Canal street. The older was
a man of forty. the younger a boy of
nineteen.
"Mr. Coulter" said the younger, II
can't make this trial balance come out
right-will you help me?"
Coulter turned a crafty face toward
his assistant. An idea seemed to be
crystallizing in his brain. Then, leav-
ing his books. he walked over to where
Johnnie Brainard sat on his high stool
and began work on the trial balance.
An hour later it was finished, a very
beautiful statement Of red and black
ink.
What a good man you r Mr..
Coulter" saaid Johnny. II could never
have done it without your help
The other. making no reply, turned
away and resumed his work on his
OWL books. But the boy noticed that
his hand trembled.
John Brainard's salary was the only
support of his mother, a widow, and
several brothers and sisters all much
younger than he. He was especially

The next afternoon a summons came
for Johnnie to go to the office Of his
employer. Eben Huyser. The young
accountant noticed from his chiefs ex-
preston that there was trouble in the
wind. and the first words confirmed
his surmise.

money you have taken?"

had become evident from words
dropped by his employee. that in his
trial balance he had ~endeavored TO
cover up a deficiency Of some $4,000.

had used him as a catspaw to conceal
a ~defalcation of his own.

WHY THE ATHLETICS LEAD.
Manager Connie Mack Has MasterfuI
Way of Manipulating His Pitchers.


One reason why the Athletics are
safely perched on the top rung Of the
American league pennant race is the
masterful way in which Connie Mack
has manipulated his pitchers.
There is no such thing as a regular
turn for the pitchers on his staff. Mack
picks the clubs against which he be-
lieves his pitchers will do their best
without any regard to rotation. For
instance. n mar may pitch twice
against the club in one series. Often a
star pitcher gets a rest of ten days be-
cause the clubs that he is always bril-
liant against are not about.
Krause has been in the American
league two seasons. but hasn't pitched
against every one Of the Athletics
rivals. There are some teams that
get a chance to bat against Nor.
gan, Bender. Plank. Coombs or Dygert.
Boston seldom gets a chance against
any of Mack's right handlers. Plank.
Krause and Atkins pitch against the
'speed boys"
