WAS ONCE A DEMOCRAT.

NFTOm the new OTk Age
R. w. Thompson, who holds down
a 5000 messengership in Washington,
is greatly concerned about who will
manage the campaign a year hence.
Mr.. Thompson, who is in the class
flied service, will perhaps not be al
lowed to write political stuff and hold
his job in the Government service.
This man Thompson must not forget
that the people have not forgotten
that he went to Washington, on his
first appointment, as Negro Demo
crat, and if the Democrats should
happen 10 win next year he perhaps
would get back into that party over
night Men like him who live in glass
houses should be careful People do
not regard him nea- as big as he re-
CARDS himself IF Bre'r Thompson
don't keep quiet we will have to call
his attention to the 55th chapter of
Psalms and Goth verse.

Some Things They Are Going to Do

The National Training School is
growing very rapidly. They are be
ing forced to build faster and larger
than we first planned The coming
of so many students TO receive special
training to do special work, has fore
ed US to build and improve. Little
buildings and limited improvements
will not do; we must build largely.
First-A Model Home has been
given us and will be erected in few
months.
SecOnd-A laundry must be built
It will cost quite five thousand dol
lars.
Third-The campus must be i'm
proved, and the improvements already
planned will cost quite FIVE hundred
dollars.
Fourth granite arch, as memo
rial to Abraham Lincoln, must be
erected.
The National Training School
must be a model school for girls, and
since it is the only one of its kind,
we feel that members of the race and
friends interested in the uplift Of the
race, will see that they have the
buildings and equipments that are
needed to do the work so essential to
race uplift
No investment that can be made al
this time, will mean more to the wo-
manhood of the race than an institu-

STRANGE STATE OF AFFAIRS
Russian and German Scientists Are
Becoming Alarmed Over the In
crease In Suicide.

Berlin.-The increase in suicide in
Russia is such that the medical fac
ulty of that country has been search
ing for remedies for what can fairly
be called an epidemic of self destruc-
ton. 1t is especially the frequency OF
suicidal tendencies among school chill
dren that is engaging the attention OF
educators and physicians.
In three months 125 cases of suicide
among boys and girls of tender age
have been reported. A scientist finds
various causes for these suicides. Re-
sentiment at fancied wrongs or sights,
fear Of punishment, or of failure at
school, derision by schoolfellows. and
even unrequited love are the main
causes. The age of these youthful
suicides begins at Sh.
In Germany too the distribution OF
the Easter school certificates has been
marked by a series of schoolboy sui
cides. The famous pedagogue DR..
Ludwig Gudlitt frankly confesses his
apprehension that there must be some
thing radically wrong about the much
Wanted German educational system
which causes this terrible sacrifice of
Young lives, a state of affairs which
is unapproached by any other country
in Europe with the sole exception of
Russia.

ed the use of the patent to other

cry of monopoly" vas raised that
threatened the SUCCESS of legislation

the Diamond company to assign its

Neill, commissioner of labor; E. r.
A. Seligman. professor Of Columbia
university, and Jackson H. Ralston.
attorney for the America Federation
of Labor. AS even this extraordinary

owners were induced to cancel the

Realizing the terrible merace to the
health, comfort and safety Of the

the unanimous experience Of leading
European countries, that has led them
absolutely to prohibit the use Of the
poison; and knowing Low readily

ITO Him That overcometh.n

The promises are to those who over
come. Nothing that is of real value
can be acquired without effort and
conflict. Not without %tribulation can
we enter into the kingdom of knowl-
edge, or of character, or of personal
power. The Koran, in its confused
mazes of wearisome and irrational
words has one true text: Paradise is
under the shadow of swords" We can
not lay hold on eternal life without
fighting the good fight Of faith. The
messages to the seven churches in
Johns book Of the revelation of Jesus
Christ are to the church universal
through all ages, and every n of
them closes with a great promise TO
him hat overcometh." The conflict
is severe, the foes are many, the temp
tations are as subtle as they are
strong; but victory is certain to all
good soldiers of Jesus Christ. He has
overcome the world. We may over
come through his blood, by our wit
ness to him, and by sharing the spirit
of his sacrifice. His saints shall con-
quer though they die. BY dying they
shall conquer. Has he not said, Who
soeyer will save his life shall lose it:
but whosoever will lose his life for
my sake. the same shall save it?" BE
thou faithful unto death and ! will
glye the) a crown Of life"
