A Negroes Tribute to The Late Major
Marion Noise. :.

There are many negro men who
would cheerfully speak out on sub
jects like the above and many another
but for feeling Of restraint and
delicacy which 1t Is exceedingly diff
cult to break with and overcome.
They are very fearful, lest that they
do that which Is out of keeping with
good taste and thus give offense to
their audience. But I personally feel
impelled at this time to break with
every restraint Of conventionality ana
otherwise and cast in my mite with
the tribute Of respect which is Just
ly due and being generously paid to
the memory Of this great and good
man. Major Marion M oise, univer-
sally beloved, hence. universally
mourned. In this presume I do not
speak for myself alone; for the
negroes Of this and other communi-
ties who knew Major Noise, owe him
debt Of gratitude for unselfish,
loyal service which no other can dis
charge. His kindly, genial face, his
sane counsel and advice, his genuine
and broad sympathy for any and all
with whm he had to do we can never
forget. In his demise the negroes
have lost staunch friend, a fearless
and untiring advocte in the councils
of men. While I realize that the de-
ceased needs no word of praise from
my lips, for thousands Of his own
race and people stand ready with
tongue and pen to do honor to his
shade. yet feel that all this were in
complete without word from the
negro whose servant he was in the
truest and best sense of that term.
We have often heard him say, 1--WE
are all servants This expression
falling from his lips has no doubt
dignifed labor in the eyes of many
an otherwise mistaken youth. The
most / can say is, he was one of the
fortunate few who by his lofty life
and character belonged to no race or
people in particular, but to all in
general. Humanity claimed him. For
her large sphere Of activity and use
fulness which he so nobly filed,
nature richly endowed him. The negro
therefre, dare enter the sanctity of
this sad happening and share the
sorrow of friends and loved ones.
Your loss Is our loss You miss him.
we miss him. With you we mourn
him.
May Heaven send comfort.
Funb!y yours,
A. u. Frierson

INSURGENTS" SURRENDER TO
TAFT.
They Agree to Support A,lministra
tons Legislative Programme.

1hey agree 10 support Atlministra a-
tons Legislative Programme.
Washington. Feb. Tile unani-
nous decision to support the Admin
istration's programme of legislation
was reached at q conference of the
insurgents" of the house held last
night. Representative Gardner, of
Massachusetts,. and representative
Hays. Of California. were authorized
to inform President Taft to that eff
feet. The Administrations pro-
gramme Of legislation embraces,
among other subjects, those of rail-
road legislation. conservation, postal
savings banks and anti-injunction.
The action was taken, 1t Is said. In
order to give definite assurance to
President Taft and to tho country
that the insurgents" were unani-
mously in favor Of all progressive
legislation advocated by the Presi-
dent.
1t is a conspicuous fact that the
ship subsidy and Federal incorpora-
tion recommendations of the Presi-
dent are not included in the list, and
1t was said by one Of the "insurgents"
th"t there has been no endeavor to
reach an agreement uopn these SUBJ
jects.
The insurgents disc used the
question of a Republican caucus on
the proposition Of amending the rules
OF the house and of derosing the
speaker from the chairmanship Of
the rules committee, and it is said
there was practically unanimous un-
derstanding to the effect that the "in-
surgents' would not caucus on the
rules question. They stand ready,
however, to act whenever the matter
Is presented on the floor of the house.

Today Is ours. tomorrow Is Gods.
Let us work faithfully while W., can,
There Is 80 much to be done IN the
world. How indifferent and self
centered we are In the midst of 1t.
How little we do for others, how
much we try to do for ourselves! O.,
ardent, jealous, unselfish soul, all
too soon gone from us, may we emu
late they unselfishness, by taking up
the work which thou hast laid down!
And what can I say to those upon
whom this sad loss has fallen? Such
tragedy robs the human tongue Of
Its boasted power to soothe the ach-
Ing heart; when human words fall
to lay balm on burnig wounds. Rea-
son may offer many arguments why
We should dry our tears, but love, at
this moment SO strong. just because
the greatest sacrifice is demanded,
refuses to listen, and rejects the cold
consolation which 1t alone could Of
fer. I can only say: "God Comfort
you! Look up! Be brave!" Life
claims you. The living call you. He
who now lies cold in death, gave
you his love. Give Of that love to
others, and In your loving service
shall your own great sorrow oe for
gotten.
Thus have the great minds of his
tory met their bereavement and
found consolation. When the great
English statesman Peel. had lost
the companion of his youth. he was
found heart-broken and in taars by
his friend Golden. Courage Peel"
he said, 1.-The poor have need Of you.
We must try and have the Corn
Laws abolished" And to tnst great
cause he devoted his energies and
forgot his misery. When Tsnnyson
lost his dearest friend Arthur Hal
lam. he did not allow himself to be
crushed under the burden Of his woe,
but In silent mourning he composes
his immortal poem, the In Memoir
lam, which he dedicated to his friend,
and thus did he forget his grief.
We cannot all be poets o.. states
men. There are not great causes
which we can influence. but there
Is enough to be done in this sad
world Of ours. in which we may all
participate, and thus conquer our
sorrow in our hour Of trial and mis-
fortune.
The poet has told us that sorrows
crown Of sorrow is remembering
happier things" But surely our ex-
perience will not bear this out, else
were life not worth living to those
who have loved and lost. Those who
have suffered bereavement must feel
that the memory Of what our dear
ones were to us while we enjoyed
their sweet companionship is for
us a perennial source of Inspiration,
Christening. purifying. ennotling our
existence, and enabling us to bear
even the sting Of death with calm re-

IF such a law would be good FOR the

Opposition to progress has produced its
natural results. There is profound dis

For a generation at least there has not

Our people are like a hive of bees. full

ont of the whole situation shines the
confident hope Of better things If any

rise of cleaner standards in this country

The task of translating these new

From sea TO sea the people are taking a
fresh grip on their own affairs. The con-
Of political liberty will take it's
