senility of youth and consequently.
sterility of age-a fine process OF MUIR
dering both the present and future
generation or placing upon the latter
the brand of imbecility and worthless
ness.
Under these conditions the race
cannot develope into men and women,
strong of character and of mind, nor
powerful of body. This should be a
matter of grave concern to every Ne
gro who has the future Of the race at
heart. Parents should place the lid
down tighter upon their children.
They should restrict their outgoings
and their incomings. They should
regulate the conduct of the youth with
the old-time regulator. They should
be careful of the company their chill
dren keep. This should be the point
through which a social division should
be drawn. Privilege should be based
upon worth in morals and not upon
color or creed. For that people vii
| most effectually inherit the earth who
in protection of the virtue of theil
women and of their boys and girls
build the strongest fences. Therefore
put the boot to the idler, the dude,
the worthless plotter against the
hearth and home around which and il
which the jewels of the family circle
the comely girls and the mani!
boys, who are the future of the race
and the perpetrators Of our hope o
the yet to be.-The Reformer.

BERT. WILLIAMS.
Boy-GentIeman-Comediar


AS q comedian Bert Williams is in
comparable-at least in the quality Of
his humor. There Is not trace of
scurrilous or opprobrious language,
but instead there Is always wholesome
fun and sly philosophy in all his jokes
and songs.
81 try" he said, ito give the people
the philosophy Of everyday life under
cover of humor. You know, people
are much more apt to laugh at and
appreciate the daily happenings. II
they are mixed with a little spice.
They don't see the humor In them
until 1t Is pointed out, and always
try to give them a little yelled phil
osophy--not enough to leave a bad
taste in their mouths, but just enough
to 90 unconsciously to their hearts.
"As I sit in a barber-shop, rail

have my eyes open for the observation
of people. never tire Of them, and
everybody, don't care how ignorant
or how apparently uninteresting. is
human, and II you get close to him
he can teach you lesson In philos'
ophy. The people who have had the
hardest and saddest lives are often the
most philosophical.
As Booker T. Washington said Of
Bert Williams. He is a tremendous
asset OF the negro race. as a comedian
and man." and may l add, credit tt
the world as a gentleman. and a pleas
ure to 1t as a boy.

FALLEN HEROES.

We are sad to notice that the ranks
of the honorable survivors" of that
immortal strife, are being dimin-
ished by that unconQuerable foe
Death. Members of the Loyal Legion
and G. A. R., are dying each day.
Many of these men have always done
the things which have produced the
best results for our race. History
will never fail to record their achieve
ments, which the Nations will always
commemorate. But posterity has long
ago forgotten the principles. Our
races friends are fast departing. Let
us honor the remaining few.

PENDENT UPON THE REsTRlc-
TIoNs AND THE HOME TRAIN.
ING OF THE UNIT OF THE RACE.
From the Reformer, Richmond, Va.
There is a crying need in the city
Of Richmond, Va, for some method or
means to put an end to youthful i'm
neutrality-suspicious. obstreperousness.
Boys at the age of twelve are men.
Girls at the age of twelve are women,
and grown up old men and women
recognize these midgets as men and
women. We were walking along the
street the other day and saw little
girl coming up the street. The girl
was of robust physique and In short
skirts. She was, to appearance, a
well-raised child and we considered
her as such. Coincidentally, she
turned into the same street In which
we turned. Before us, going in the
opposite direction, were two young
men apparently of good raising, we'll
dressed and comedy lads they were.
But their conduct belied their looks.
This fact, their language to the child
woman attested. The conduct OF the
trio was such as would pain the heart
of any student of conditions as relate
to our race. Now possibly, all three
of these children-zfor children they
would have, in other days than these,
been considered--may have been
saved to the race II some means Of
restraint had been brought to bear to
have impressed them of the folly OF
their way and the ultimate end OF
their cultivated methods.
Now, this is but one illustration OF
what really exists in this and other
cities. 1t is a shame that should be
publicly condemned by all decent PEG
pie, that grown-up men hang around
and chin" little girls who. of right

CRIME INCREASING.

The lawbreakers among our race
have had their share of publicity, and
many have earned and received their
punishment. Percy Sanford was sent
to the Reformatory for cutting Grant
Hamilton, Eli Miller convicted Of as
sault on Emeline Lee, John Jones,
held for the grand jury, accused OF the
murder of Roy e. Jeffries. and Prince
Williams wanted for outrageous as
sault, and Andrew Jackson railroad
porter, serving 80 days for disorderly
conduct towards female passenger.
This Is the state of affairs, and the
condition will grow worse unless
there Is some effort made to STOP
this wave of crime. We are ashamed
to say that there Is nothing doing
SO far as humane societies or mis-
sionary workers in these parts, and
that when a man commits crime he
has no consideration from that class

Work of restoring the ancient, tum-
bIedown building at old Fort Lyons,
now the United States naval sana-
forum, where Kit Carson, greatest of
western scouts, died. has been COM
menced, and within the next two or
three months it will be turned over
to the Daughters of the American
says the Denver News.
The restoration will bring it back to
it's original condition in practically
every detail and give to the state one
of the most historic landmarks which
it possesses
IT is an old stone house, warped and
weather beaten. but in such condition
that 1t can easily be restored. 1t stands
almost in the center of the big group of
buildings at the naval sanatorium, and
the men in charge of that institution
ara taking deep interest in the work.
1t is quite likely that when the res
torationlis completed it will be dedi-
Gated with appropriate ceremony by the
Daughters. Already an effort is on foot
to collect relics of Carson's day, par
ticularly articles belonging to him per-
sonally and a pistol and inkstand have
been secured as a nucleus.
Originally the little old stone building
was the medical headquarters of the
fort. and Carson had been taken there
from his home at Boggsville. some
miles from Lyons, a very sick man.
