'WHERB HIS OPPORTUNITY LIES,

the Omitted States Treasury and now
supervisor Of education IN the depart
iient of the Interior, en- route from a
Visit. OF inspection Of the work Of such
schools as Tuskegee and Hampton In
stltutes, with view. of comparing
the work Of these institutions with
that OF the Indian schools maintained
by the government, spoke to a large
audience Of Negroes at the First Bap-
tist church Sunday afternoon.
Verapn, who has long been an ed
ucator, having until recently been
president Of Western University at
Quindaro, Kan, Ia one OF the most
prominent orators of the Negro race,
and for long time entertained his
hearers with a recital of the progress
OF the Negro In the South, counseling
them In the meantime to take advan-
tage of every opportunity the south
afforded them.
The work Of such institutions as
Tuskegee and Hampton was praised
by the speaker. who declared that in
large degree they trataed the Negro
boy for active participation in the life
of his people here in the south.
The time has come when the Ne
gro no longer feels that he must go
north to serve the people," he said
'"fhe opportunity is right here in the
south. The interest Of the black man
-and-the white man is so interviewer
that they are common and they must
be worked out on q common basis.
Tine Negro has proven his right to
stay here by his bravery on a hun
dred battlefields, by the fact that he
has betrayed no trusts in tAe days
gone by, and he Is no worse now than
he was then. We must. have conf
dence. In our leaders on the one hand,
ald on the other we must have lea
dership that will not betray u.s.
The Negro race will get all that
comes to it by being worthy; as
result of education, competency, man.
hood and real worth. There is that
in manhood that appeals to manhood,
whether in white or black. The boys
who loaf on the streets by day Iand
their parents homes or their lodging
places by night, and growing into
idleness and criminality must be
stopped. The girls who look lightly
upon values Of life and morality must
be taught that the only thing that is
royal is worth Of character and vir-
tue. whether it is clothed in rags or
in silks"

Convention of Governors.
The governors of various states
met in New Jersey last week to con-
slder the state and welfare Of the
nation and olso the initial steps to
wards effecting a uniformity in the
flaws throughout the country on
those questions in which uniformi-
ty Is especially desirable.
The one evil in particular which
mas grown rapidly in recent years ts
fhe divorce evil and the present di-
Verslties IN state laws have served
as an encouragement to those who
wish to destroy, undermine or mis-
use the sacredness Of the marriage
tie. For instance when a. married
couple finds they cannot get 2 di-
Vource In their own state, they usu-
ally go to a neighboring state and
PROBABLY get divorce, and If not,
certainly at Reno, Nevada and they
can marry whom they wish on their
return to their own state and laugh
at the state laws. One feature OF
the present Convention of Gov
ernors has been to initiate a move
ment which has beon discussed for
number Of years namely the pas
sing Of uniform state laws on this
subject or else the placing Of this
subject entirely in the hands Of the

GOLDsBOROUGH, THE REPUBLI-

STANDS EXCELLENT CHANCE
TO WIN ON ACCOUNT OF DE-
FICTION AMONG DEMOCRATS.

Baltimore, Md, Sept. 2O.-With
the notification bf Phillips Lee
IGoldsborough, at Cambridge, Mary
land, last Thursday, that he was to
be the Republican candidate for
Governor, one Of the most important
campaigns since 1895, when Re
publicans elected their State ticket,
was inaugurated.
! Mr.. Goldborough in his address
accepting the nomination made a
plea for a progressive State policy
and declared that the paramount is
sue in the campaign is fair elections.
He scored the Wilson ballot laws,
which aim to confuse colored voters
and to give white Democrats litter
ates an unfair advantage.
Morris A. Soper, Of Baltimore, the
Republican candidate for Attorney
General, and John H. Cunningham,
OF Westminster, also made ringing
addresses in accepting their respec-
tive nominations.
The Democrats will move heaven
and earth to elect Arthur Pue Cor
man to the Governorship. Mayor
Preston is already building up a ma
chine in this city and Gorman's cleo
ton would mean that a bigger ma
chine would be built that would
make the State Democratic strong
hold for years. This would mean
that the colored voters and the indie
pendents would be put out of bust
ness.
With thousands of independents
viewing with alarm the things that
might follow Germans election. a
united Republican party and an
aroused colored vote, Goldborough's
election can be achieved, His cleo
ton will not likely mean much to
the race in the way of political pre-
ferment, but 1t would mean that the
rights to vote would be guaranteed
and that the term of the colored
SCHOOLS in some Of the counties
would be materially heightened.

This institution represents the on

tered by the Colored people of the

been In existence for ten years. 1t
has an important place in the his
tory OF the State, the race, the De-
nomination, and in the educational
field in general. 1t has come to be
a necessity. We need it as a rally
ing center, around which to rally
our forces from every part of the
State. To become truly interested
In any enterprise we must put
something into it. We need 1t to
arouse our sluggish and stagnant ma
lures and to stir our nobler emotions
and aspirations; that our interest in
education may be quickened and our
love for learning may be made to
grow. We need it to cultivate in
our lives the inspiration of self-help-
fulness Of managing and fostering
enterprises Of our own. We need it
as basis Of making history that
shall speak we'll for us after genera
ttons-history that shall plead for
us and vindicate the merits and hope
of the Negro in the courts of future
cr1t1cs.--Let- us then have the $12,-
900 this year. You can do it easi-
ly and will be blessed in doing so.
We need. every dollar of it to put
the school on firm basis to open
next fall with bright future.
We desire every Negro in the State
every body-but first oil
all every Negro in the State to have
a part in this. work. we, appeal to
your race-prfde, denominational|
pride, State pride and national pride
TO awake, arise, and weigh the sub
Ject, kindle your interest, seize the
opportunity and give, give quickly,
give regularly, give cheerfully, give
until you feel it, and thus give to
the work a mighty push forward.
We would also call your attention
afresh to the 5th Sunday in October,
set apart as a day Of rallying for ed
ucat1on all over the State. The pres
ident Of the Woman's Convention at
Hinton in her annual address made
her appeal to the missionary socie-
ties over the State to rally for the
Seminary on that day and date. She
has repeated it since and others
have followed in the same wake.
We hope that not a single church In
the State will fail to make an ap-
peal and to do their best for the ed
ucatiOnal work. The work is in
pressing need; there are some out
standing bills that must be paid.
