"A conference was called at the
Nineteenth Street Baptist Church
last Tuesday night to consider the
advisability of having a separate
Christian Endeavor Union for the
colored societies. The pastors pres
ent and who, took part in the discus
sion of the matter were Revs. J. M.
Waldron, w. II. Brooks, Z. E. Kicks
and w. ]. Howard. After the meet
ing had been outlined by the chair
man, Mr., Lloyd c. Quincy, Mr.. ].
D. Pair Of the Metropolitan Baptist
Church was called upon to state his
views as had been expressed in his
paper. After an animated discus
sion resolution was offered by the
Rev. w. H. Brooks, which was car
ried, that it was the sense of the
meeting that the societies of the Dis
trict should remain in the Union and
do all they could to promote its in
terests. The meeting was largely
attended by the different societies,
including the new society from the
Bethlehem Baptist Church. ''

And so it goes, The good, solemn
simple voter finds he is pretty hot in the
Republican frying pan, and he jumps
out into the Democratic fire.
BY and by he gets his cunning little
toes burned in the Democratic fire, and
he jumps back into the Republican fry
ing pan. He gets pretty hot there, and
out he jumps, and so on.
And old Mr.. Trust who holds the
irving pan in one hand while he pokes
the fire with the other, smiles grinly.
No matter where the little voter is, Mr..
Trust has got llin--for both the fire and
the frying pan--the tsvo old Partics--
belong to Mr.. TruSt-Neao York Journal.
Here is a more critical analysis:
The American people on Tuesday gave
a tremendous expression of censure and
dissatisfaction, The real nearing of
the nominaly Democratic sweep of the
great States east of the Mississippi was
not partisan gain, but reputation of the
false leadership of the Republican party
during the past two years,
The people were angered at increased
burdens laid upon them. And while I'M
converted to the principles of the Demo
cratic party, they used that party ticket
to punish edge-breakers, servants OF
privilege, corrupt machines and standpat
reaction.
There were exceptions. But the rule
was that where progressive Republicans
had gained control of their party organ-
zation, crushed corrupt bossism and set
their house in order, Republican major-
ties were maintained.
Unceansed Republicanism in Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut and Ohio was
buried under mountain-high popular dis
approval. New Hampshires Republi-
canism, regenerated, triuniphed with her
sister insurgent States OF the West.
=, New York was the most noteworthy
reerettable exception. Even there, how
ever, there was scant accession to the
Democracy The victory of Dix was due
10 the stay-at-home Republicans.
But in New York the dissatisfaction
with the tariff and the cost OF living and
the general disgust with the TAFT adj
p,inistration---so crushingly expressed in
Taft's own State--was augmented by the
sinister fusion of the most dangerous
elements in the State.
The triple alliance of corrupt Ian-
many, corrupt Wall Street and the cor
rupt Republican bosses, beaten and dis
credited by Roosevelt had much to do
with the election Of Dix Their aim was

We Have Met the Enemy and
We Are Theirs"

Well, the war is Oven After the
groans of defeat and the shouts OF
victory are over the world will con-
tinue to whirl on just the same. 1t
is too bad that we as colored people
cannot take the same view of this
victory, or defeat, whichever you
may care to call it, as the rest of our
fellow-citizens, because we occupy a
peculiar position and special state,
and perhaps national legislation has
been and will be applied to us.
And so those colored voters who
are joining the chorus jubilate may
soon be chanting the misere. Be
sides a few more offices for colored
men, conditions affecting the race
generally are not likely to improve.
There is a possible opportunity for
gain for us iii organized effort, care
and constant study Of conditions,
zeal and watchfulness.
The philosophy of the result as re-
lating to the country is well ex-
pressed in the following:
The people get tired of conditions
with good reasons-tliey think that a
change will help them, and they make a
change.
They have voted now 10 punish the
Republican party They put the Demo
cratic party in power, hoping, and a few
of them believing, that it will correct the
evils Of the Republican party
After a while the people will get tired

In Search of

BY GEORGE Nj. DAVIS

Bayard Drillham walked down the
main street of the village of Perch
Harbor with his head slightly tilted to
one side.

Originally he had started out in

nature of his kind. but many things
combined to foster latent irritability.
He had been an only son and money
had surrounded him from the cradle.
He had been fawned on in college and
catered to by people in general and
business success had also been his.
There was little wonder then that,

grown into the way Of thinking all

the very universe must jump at his
call. And in Perch Harbor he had

Bayard Drillham was not conscious

with one hand pressed against the

thrown back. AS he looked at her,
