Great Atlanta Speech.
Speaking In the auditorium at At
lanta, Ga, recently with DR.. Booker T.
Washington and DR.. NJ. c. r. Mason,
Rev. DR.. s. n. vass Of Raleigh, n. c.,
took occasion to refer TO the glory Of
the Negro race In the early ages OF the
world. and all who heard him went
away convinced that what be said
was Of the highest authority. and they
agreed with him that the day would
come when a historian like Myers
would correct the very unhistorical
statement In his work that Negroes
have always been hewers OF wood and
drawers Of water.
DR.. Vass cited such evidence from
the Bible, archaeology and philolOgy as
to convince all that he Is not only a
ripe scholar and able student OF the
Scriptures. but that what he claims Is
al very true. and the mammoth audi
ence OF several thousands cheered
wildly all through his very able and
inspiring address. A large part Of the
audience was composed Of white PEG
pie DIR. Booker 7. Washington fol-
lowed him and said he had no doubt
that the race had a glorious history
in the remote past. but that Il has still
q brighter outlook for the future.
DR.. Vass is doing an untold amount
Of good for his people in Iecturing all
over the country on the Bible and
showing the race that we were once
q noble people OF the earth. second
to none on the globe, and that II we
should learn the lesson God wishes rs
to know we shall surely one day re-
turn to our former glory and be-
come a people even greater than ever
before. DR.. Vass Is supported In his
work by the great American Baptist
Publication society. and he Is one OF

THE REAL ISSUES.

NOt slnco In0 0tsto campaign
has opened has the maehine-r
newspapers attempted any discus
sion of the issues before the peo-
pie or any defense Of the condi-
tions prevailing that give rise to
tho conditions. Tho ablest and
most virile of that press olassifica-
ton, the Nav Orleans States. has
freely admitted that reforms are
necessary.
The issues arc machine ring
government, the miserable regis
tration and election laws enacted
to keep tho ms in and the outs
out, dishonest elections that over
ride and nullify tho will of the
people. the executive patronage,
the creation Of unnecessary ap-
pointive tax-sating Offices and in
creased fees and salaries that have
added over 81. 600. 900 in four years
to the burdens of the people, exc
cutivs control over tho legislative
branch of the government made
possible thereby, dual offioe-hold-
ing. tho lobby at Baton Rouge
that oorrupts and controls legisla-
ton in tho interest of tho interests
and against the people. These
arc tho issues and they are en-
bracsd in the main issue-the ma
chine.
Without the overthrow and de-
struction OF tho machine, there
fore, no reform 10 possible.
It, therefore, behoovss the peo-
pie, if they really desire reform in
their affairs. to consider we'll and
dispassionstely the candidates. Of
the men Offering for the governor
ship and give their support to that
candidate who can and will bring
about the reforms 90 badly need
cd and that are essential to the
growth, development and prosper
itv of tho State.
From our viewpoint Judge L. E.
Hall, tho leader of the Demoors'
tic Good Government League, is
tho only candidate that holds out
any hope for relief. The League,
the only organized force against
the machine, has for its main OBJ
jsct tho overthrow and destruction
Of the machine and ito platform
pledges him to the reforms indi-
Gated. He stands squarely on that
platform and those who know him
know that be will redeem every
promise and pledge made by him.
It 10 true that the platforms of
the two other candidates admit
the necessity for and promise the
reforms demanded. but one Of the
candidates is . ward boss and part
and parcel Of the machine and the
other 10 the candidate of . ward
boss who is part aud parcel Of the
machine. 1t is, therefore, unrea-
sopable to hope for reform from
either OF them, a. through tho
overthrow and destruction of tho
machine only is reform possible,
and neither OF them could be OK
pectsd to destroy their creator.
The machine at present il divi-t
ded, but its different forces are
making common war on the Dem
ocratic Good Government League
and Judge Hall and that should
make plain the duty and position
of oil citizens really and earnestly
dssirinv thu overthrOw Of thu ma.

In every large circus where the animals
and trainers and performers travel and
work together many strange friendships
are met with. The story about to be told
is about the friendship of a huge elephant
and a little girl. The little girl who was
the elephants friend was the daughter Of
the trainer. She was only years old
and all the animals knew and loved her.
but Betsy, the elephant, especially favored
her. She would pick her up with her trunk
and swing her high in the air. which was
great fun, Mimi thought.
OF course everyone knows that while
there are good tempered and gentle ele-
plants there are also very wicked ones.
In the herd there was one very big fellow
who gave the trainer considerable trouble.
One day when he was more bad tempered
than usual he was given no hay for sup
per His punishment made him sulky, and
presently when the trainer walked by with
Mimi trotting along behind him wicked
