CHURCHES MAY UNITE.
Philosophy at Bottom of Movement
AfOOt In Columbus.

From the Ohio state Journal
A plan is being devised and It will come
before the ministers meeting to-day, 10
unite all churches for philanthropic work.
There are about thirty causes in this
city that call for sympathy and sup
port and in all Of these, the churches
take an interest in an irregular and ran
dom way; and the idea OF the new move
ment is 70 organize this encouragement
and support, so as tc give il proper
direction and strength: in other words,
10 expedite. advance, and systematic the
philanthropic purposes OF the churches
There IS no creed or doctrine involved
In this EFFORT. Il simply amounts to a
recognized duty intelllgently and eff
ciently carried forward. It's motto is:
The union OF all who love in the
service OF all who suffer IA platform
most beautifully expressed. The name
suggested for the organization Is: The
General Council OF the Churches and
Religious Societies OF Columbus" II is
10 have the usual officers and an exec
utive committee 20 promote its objects
The philosophy at the bottom OF this
movement is that a united force will 30
more effective and intelligent work than

that Christian influence Will assume an
identity and make for itself a definite

WOOdsheds for Boys.

From the Dayton News.
New York's supervisor Of recreation
Was evidently boy in his younger days
which II is refreshing to know. The
world is getting so full Of men who were
never boys that it is especially pleasing
at this time to encounter a man who
used TO be a boy-a sure enough boy. At
least, one has the right to believe that
about the New York supervisor, for he
recommends that number of woodsheds
be provided for the boys in the play
courts which have been established, and
nobody who was not a boy In his youth
can understand the blessings OF a wood
shed There was never a more touching
spot invented than q wOodshed-for It
was there the boy was most frequently
touched Not only was his heart and
soul touched, but the very bosom OF his
being came in for caresstng that singed

formerly wear trousers with wool in
them More impressions have been made
IN woodsheds than anywhere else.

look coldly on" This medical journal
points out that Portugal and Spain, hav-
Ing less racial prejudice, have seen their
virile blood decay AS the Lancet says:
Race prejudice or race instinct. as we
prefer TO call II, has preserved the Saxon
blood amongst alien races; its very
strength now makes the problem OF our
modern civilization more difficult; there
must be a constant war between the Sax
on sense of justice and the Saxon sense
OF race purity. The race survives
as race in so far as this instinct is
implanted in 1t. Race instinct is not a
late or petty mental acquisition that can
BE- brushed lightly of OF eradicated by
education. 1t Is a basal trait which an
thropologists and politicians cannot ar
ford to leave out Of their calculations.
That this is cold-blooded scientific truth
does not help matters much in the case
|of the United States. The negro is here
to stay. He was brought here against
his will, and. being here. and freed
man. has to work out his own salvation.
For him. at least, there lies no hope
save in education. II is his own gigantic
task to fit himself. TO make himself
worthy to take a place side by side with
the white race. TO do his share of work
in the world.

Beveridge the Indiana Issue.

Endorsed the Taft administration, Theo-

illustration of his political versatility by
going 10 Indiana and urging the Repub-

Albert jeremiah Beverage. who voted
against the new tariff and antagonized
the administration leaders throughout the
struggle, and who is the nominee for
reelection OF a Republican convention,
which approved his course, condemned
the Payne-Aldrich act. and damned Taft
with faint insurgent praise.
The task would be a difficult one for
n statesman less versatile than Roosevelt

he is OF the East Eastern and. at the

perfectly at home in either role. That

Of Hoosier insurgency only the outcome

Beveridge is the Republican issue in
his state Breaking with the dominant
faction Of his party at Washington. he
asks and gives no quarter. and has en-
tered upon a picturesque campaign the
uncompromising foe OF the present tariff.
He proposes TO rise or fall on the record
he made Thus, Indiana, always a tariff
reform State, in Beveridge has the tarir
issue sharply and personally drawn, and
the voters are called upon TO decide
whether the future offers greater promise
Of desired reform at the hands of an
insurgent Congress. or ar the hands of

Meaning of Reno's Reform.

Gambling ends in Nevada What a
chance for a sermon! Yet is II a wholly
unnixed blessing? For where will the
'red-blooded writers" find their scenario
now? They Will have to write about
anaenic commemorative in which faro
and roulette are but minor industries.
Where. too, will the Reno gamblers go? II
may have been a rather good scheme,
after all, to segregate this vice in one
spot. And Is it wise to remove from
Nevada the fairly honest gambling with
cards and chips, and leave the field en-
tirely clear for the wildcat gambling in
mines and prospects? Time alone can
answer these questions Meanwhile we
fear that the population of the Silver
State will approximate more nearly the
ultimate zero. When the reform In the

The NEGRO in America

II is rather an encouraging sign that
We. as a people, are not altogether apa-
thetIc over the social problem involved
in the negro in America. Some OF our
sociologists seem TO think that the negro
problem is the greatest problem that the
future holds FOR us. Interesting, then, and
worthy Of marked attention. IS a volume
recently issued by Sir Harry II. Johnston
on THE Negro in the New World" The
man who writes this speaks from an ex-
perience Of a quarter OF a century in va
rious parts Of tropical Africa as ex-
plorer, investigator, and administrator.
He speaks OF the negro as the victim
of his past" race that, In America. at
least, bears the impress OF slavery and
the imprint OF mastership. but he believes
that education will raise him to a point
where he may take a just place In the
scheme of civilization Fully and heartily
he indofses the propaganda OF Booker T.
Washington as the proper solvent of the
negro problem And that this English
man is fully alive to the peculiar nature
OF the negro problem in this country we
may learn from his epigrammauc state
ment that he would have US treat the
negro las brother, but not as a brother.
in-law"
The London Lancet, the ablest and
most conservative medical journal in the
world, also recognizes that in thar state
ment Of Sir Harry Johnston rests the
crux Of the whole negro problem. The
Lancet thinks that Sir Harry Johnston
is inclined TO underrate the strength of
Anglo-Saxon race prejudice, and points
out that a century ago the noted anato-
mist. Robert Knox. recognized II as the
wedominatipg feature of the Anglo
Saxon. II Is this trait of race prejudice
that makes Australia leglslate to Sc.
cure race purity and race predominance:
II is this trait which, in the South
African Federation, leaves the negro out
side the pale OF its franchise; the sam5
trait which. the Lancet says. secs in the
Southern States the negro elbowed from
the ballot box. while the Northern States,
which went to war for negro freedom,
