The walters who have been at the
treatment they receive at the hands
of their superior officers. 1t Is sup
posed that these petty officers want
their white friends and the man
with the money. Mr.. Rogers wants
Negro walters. Since this is known
fact it appears that the white officers
have objected to the good service as
formerly laid down" by the Negroes.
and are using any schemes to have
the most possible service which will
in time hurt the colored boys. or
course this Is done without Mr..
Rogers knowledge, and those who
know of this condition, only COM
plain after they are out Of employ
ment. There are the West, Nicollet,
and National and other hotels, where
our men are employed, and they live
apparently comfortably on what they
make. Yet we have so many who are
afraid to state their grievances until
on the outside. If the walters Of our
race would only act as Independently
as the white walters, and continue to
give correct service when employed
they would be more respected. They
are employed because they make good
by supplying demand, where the
white waiter is unequal to the task.
While We have many headwaiters of
our race in this city of whom we are
proud, viz. Mr.. John Scott of the
West and Mr.. John Elliott of the Mic
ollet, 1t Is needless to say that Mr..
HOLSTER of the National is a white
employer who Is most generallyliked,
and he receives his share Of praise
from all of those who were and are
employed by him. Why? Because he
recognizes ability, appreciates man.
hood and respects in words and deeds
the men who protect him IL his po-
sition.

SLAVERY PROBLEM UNSETTLED
The Waste Of War.

The waste of war and the patrio-
tism of peace were discussed in a
sermon Sunday in Wesley M. E.
church by Rev. Samuel M. Dick, Phi.
D., pastor of the church. That peace
is neither won nor saved by the sword
was his statement. portion of the
GERMAN follows:
And he will judge between the
nations and will decide concerning
many peoples; and they shall beat
their swords into plowshares, and
their spears into pruning hooks; ma
ton shall not lift up sword against
nation, neither shall they learn war
any more.-Isaiah Civ.
"This prophecy is beginning to
reach it's fulfillment. When the aw-
full cost in life and treasure is reck-
oned with, it is astonishing that SEN
sible civilized men should ever resort
to war to settle any question. There
Is another reason apart from it's de-
structive character why war should
not be resorted to. 1t never settles
any question. The best it can do Is
to restate it and put it in another
form. Take for illustration the civil
war in this country. Did 1t settle the
race question? Did it settle the
slavery problem? Not by any means,
but II the amount of money that war
cost us during it's progress and for
pensions since, had been expended
among the colored people of this ma
ton for industrial education and other
civilizing agencies that race today
would have been further advanced in
the scale Of progressige peoples than
1t will be 500 years from today under
the existing circumstances"
How far, learned Doctor, would they.
be advanced, If some Of that money
had been spent on the white race
along those same lines? Do you not
know that the Negro ranks first,
among the progressive races? under
the existing circumstances. :

Encouraging the GroWth of Wheat in GeorqiQ.
From the Augusta Chronicle.

A practical plan for encouraging
the production of foodstuffs at home
has been put forth by Mr.. j. r. Mer-
Ger Of Dawson, Terrell county.
One of the barriers to the produc-
ton Of wheat in Georgia is the scar
city of mills where the grain may be
turned into -four. The average far
mer who undertakes to grow the
product has to haul the raw material
anywhere from ten to forty miles in
order to find miller able to give
it useable form. And a great many
.ot those mills are poorly equipped
and unable to turn out the best grade
of -four.
Mr.. Mercer plans to establish a
frst-class flour mill at Dawson. But
he realizes that the investment will
be wasted unless wheat growing ia
entered into by the farmers on a lar
ger scale than at present. He asks
all those who care to undertake the
growing of wheat to pledge him that
they will plant certain number Of
acres for three years. He has pur-
chased 300 bushels of seed from
which to supply the beginners, and
aims as soon as the plan begins

A GOOD RECOMMENDATION.

The people generally will approve
the action of the grand jury incor-
porating in their presentments a
recommendation that a detailed re-
port be published once a year of the
receipts and disbursements of the
county treasury, and that reports be
published quarterly showing the ex-
penses of the road working depart
ment of the county. This is infor-
nation that the people, who bear the
burden of taxation, are entitled to
have. Approximately $4,000 a year
of their money is spent in maintain
ing the various branches of the coun-
ty government, and these tax payers
want and have the right to be inform
ed of what the money is spent for,
and what and how much they get in
return for it.
No neglect of duty or wrong-doing
is impugned to anyone. 1t is
merely a matter of balancing ac-
counts, stock-taking as it were, and
letting those who furnish the capital
see how the business stands.
1t is to be hoped that these reports
will be made complete in every par
and not merely synopses,
which usually give no information of
real value.

MERITED PRAISE.
Has Increased the Respect of the
People for the Office of Governor.

Has Increased the Respect of the
People for the Office of Governor.
From the Christian Index.
1t is not long now until Governor
Joseph M. Brown retires from office,
and so it will not be out of place for
us to speak about one feature of his
administration which, we think, es-
pecially deserves our praise. We re-
fer to the emphasis which he has
consistently and persistently put up
on the execution of the law. In so
doing he has had to resist strong
pressure, and in one case at least
has had to go directly contrary to
loudly expressed public sentiment.
We believe that by his course in re-
fusing to exercise the pardoning pow
er save in cases where it was clearly
due he has increased the respect
which the people of the state feel
for the executive office, and has
greatly helped to mold that much
to-be-desired public sentiment which
will one day lead our people to insist
upon the execution of the sentences
passed by the courts upon criminals.
The abuse of the pardoning power,
both in this and in other states, has
been one of the prime causes which
nave led to The development of the
laWless spirit in our country.

working successfully to offer sub
stantial prizes for the largest yields
etc.
Says The Dawson News:
A few of the farmers of the
county have been growing wheat
successfully the past several years.
and there is reason to believe that
more of them would find it prof
liable to do so. In Crisp county
wheat has been grown extensively
and successfully this year. A dis
patch says the work of harvesting
has been in progress there for a
week, and the yields have far ex-
ceeded expectations. One farmer
has gathered SO bushels per acre.
another has yield of 40 bushels
per acre, and many others are
gathering from 25 to 40 bushels
per acre.
A practical plan like that put forth
by Mr.. Mercer would work success
fully in half the counties of Georgia.
We have lots and lots of soil that
will grow good wheat, and all that
most farmers need for a start is en-
enlargement and milling. conven-
fences.

,rnRE "TAINTEDn MONEY.

Several Of the big shotgun and
ammunition manufacturers, accord
ing to the Savannah News, recently
got together and rendered the Ma
tiopal Audubon Society fund "i
$4,000 a year for five years Cor the
prosecution of it's work. The Audi
hon accepted the tender. Director
Hornady of the New York zoo "a
relative of the family in Dawson OF
that name and a very ,alented gem
tleman and earnest worker for the
conservation of mans feathered
friends) uttered a protest, saying
that the gunmakers were abettors
of the destruction of wild life and
that the society would be hampered
in its work if it took money from
them. Secretary Pearson of the Au-
dubon says, however, that such is
not the case; that the society accept
ed the tender with the distinct un-
derstanding that it would protect and
use its influence against any form
of firearms that it thought excessive
" destructive of bird or other wild
life.
There seems to be, says our Sa-
vannah contemporary, suggestions Ot

THE CASE OF MIR. BRYAN.


Mr.. Bryan is good man and, we
think, means well. He is a smart
man, too, and few can match him in
oratory But his case only serves to
show that it is the smart man who,
when he does make a mistake, can
go the limit Mr.. Bryan was overly
free telling the democratic congress
men at Washington what they ought
to do about the tariff wool schedule
in particular, and some other things
incidentally They did not take his
advice, and it may be believed that
some of them were more reSentful
because to them the advice looked
too much like command. 1t was
inferred that Mr.. Bryan knew human
nature better than his course indi-
Gated. If any living man ever
thought he was called to advise and
enlighten and control one T. Roose-
welt is that man-and no man
has been reader to tell how the
world ought to be run than said T
r. But since he left the presidency
he has not been seen back at Wash
ington telling the republicans in
congress what he thought they ought
to do.

GOVERNOR WILSON'S CHASE
OF THE PRESIDENCY.

Who will be the democratic candi-
date for president will doubtless re-
main an open question until the vote
in the convention decides it.
Judson Harmon, Woodrow Wilson
and Speaker Clark will probably be
the three leading candidates before
the convention. Governor Harmon
has been longest considered in this
connection, and if the convention
were to meet today he would proba-
bly, have the largest vote.
The Florida Times-Union, com
menting on the subject, says:
Governor Wilson was known as
a presidential possibility as soon
as he was nominated for governor
of New Jersey, but while he is GER
tainly talked of in connection with
the presidency more than either of
the other two we believe he is the
weakest of the three. We believe
the vigorous chase he is giving the
presidency at more or less sacri-
flee Of his official duties, has weak
ened rather than strengthened
him. We believe Roosevelt tired
the people as a liberal advertiser,
and the democrats will not select
a spectacular candidate.
The Savannah News is also doubt
full if Governor Wilson's swing
around the circle on a stumping tour
in behalf of his candidacy has i'm
proved his chances for the presi-
deney. 1t says:
1t is an interesting question,
open to speculation. as to whether
or not Governor Wilson is increas-
ing his chances for getting the
democratic nomination by travel
ing over the country getting &C
quainted with the people and let
ting the people get acquainted
with him. Here and there has
cropped out the criticism that he
is neglecting the duties he was
elected and is paid to perform. 1t is
being said that he would increase

giving his whole time to the duties
Of his office and demonstrating
how governor could advance and
promote the welfare of the people
of his state. He was chosen largely
for the reason that the governor
ship hadn't been properly admins
tered, and that the interests of the
people had been made subservient
to those of the money power and
the politicians. = The
question is, isn't Governor Wilson
in danger of meeting a like fate?
II he were to remain at home dis
charging the duties of his office
in such way as to draw attention
to himself as an able administra-
tor wouldn't he stand a better
chance of getting his party's nomi-
nation for president than he will
by the course he has adopted?
