rural newspapers throughout the
country, rejecting public sentiment,
approved Of the selection of SO emi-
nent an educator as President Eliot
for so important a position in public
life. When the people of New Jersey
called Woodrow Wilson from the
presidency of Princeton College to the
Governorship of that State, his tTansl-
ton from college president to Gov
ernOr of State was hailed by the peO-
pie in and out Of New Jersey as the
turning from the selfish, narrow pOlitl-
clan to the broad-minded, public
spirited, unselhsh educator. And no
men are more unselish than educa-
tors. In each case where the educator
has voluntarily stepped from the
school room into public office It has
been regarded as an evidence OF
progress in the eminent domain OF
public service. These men did not
seek the Office, the office sought them.
They did not harrangue the people to
their support; the people voluntarily,
spontaneously, for public veal, went
to their support.
When Dr. Booker 7. Washington is
called upon by public men high IN
authority for advice and suggestions,
relative to policies that are primed Tor
the advancement of the race, they call
upon him knowing that he is broad
minded, unselhsh educator whose life
is devoted to uplift, and the call upon
the Doctor is applauded by every Ne
gro, save those who lack ability or
energy, or both, to pull themselves up
by their own boot straps, as an evl-
denCe that the men in power, wanting
to be of real service to the whole race,
elect to call upon the best advised, the
most unselhsh, and the sinCerest men
the race possesses. Seth Lowe was
not a politician. President Eliot
never manipulated politics, and Wood
row Wilson never entered the politi
cal field voluntarily and for selfish
ends. And Dr.. Washington never vol
unteered his advice to public officials
to simply advance the condition of
single or a few individuals. His ad-
vice, when called for, has been given
with the single aim in view OF advanc-
ing the conditions, directly and indi-
rectly, of ten millions of blacks-not
of one, or two, or a dozen. And let 1t
be understood that DR.. Washington
has never given advice favorable to or
in approval of a single principle or
policy, the Inauguration or adoption
of which carried a sleeper" inimlcal
to race advancement. DR.. Washing
ton, now and always, stands for the
race, the whole race, foes and friends
alike, as God gives him light to see it.
It's a splendid impetus to civic pride
and duty when the active services Of
educators can be had in public life.
And the more educators like Lowe,
Eliot, Wilson, Washington and others,
who become active for public veal, the
greater and more rapid will be the ad-
vancement of the masses. The selfish

DIR lanes Z. Shepard of Durham,
N c one OF the most remarkable
men in the colored race, is in this city,
stopping at Hotel Victoria. He has a
very commanding appearance, and IS
a we'll read young man.
The correspondent who has accom-
panied him, Ex-Gov. Glenn of North
Carolina and Judge J. c. Pritchard, on
their tour in the North and East, III

Training School at Durham, n. c.
has a great deal TO say concerning
the success in this section OF the
country. Everywhere these gentle
men have spoken the people have re-
sponded literally, because the claims
of this distinguished young man are
presented in a manner by Ex-Goy.
Glenn and Judge Pritchard that are
effective. Gov. Glenn spoke before
the Century Club of Boston, Mass,
last Saturday evening in an eloquent
and appealing manner. January 20th
at the Waldorf-AstOria, New YORK,
he addressed the Press Club.
Tuesday afternoon Judge Pritchard
spoke before the Minerva Club, and
in the evening before the Women
Federation Club.
Last Sunday evening DR.. Shepard
spoke at Ridgewood, N. J., before a

people of this section of the country
seem to appreciate the work of the

tobacco millionaires, gave the 30 acres
of land on which it is situated. a
large auditorium has been built, and
more than $4,000 contributed.
There are 10000 Negro preachers
IN the coun' ry, aud large portion of
them are illiterate," said Judge Pritch-
ard recently at the Hotel Manhat-
tan. 1--WE want to train them in good
citizenship, something the entire coun-
try needs. Nowhere is this need rec
ognized more than in the South. If
a war should break out, | believe
Southern men would be more ready to
fight for the cOuntry's flag than those
in any other section, and all the Ne
grOes would follow if the white men
led. The Southern Negro has enOr-
nous confidence in the decent, think
ing white man, ana any thought of
race equality is abhOrrent to him The
Negro who advocates equality IS the
worst enemy of his race"
Judge Pritchard is circuit judge OF
the Fourth Federal district, and has
jurisdiction over Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Maryland, South Carolina and
North Carolina. He went to the

Educators in Politics.

When Seth Lowe was drafted from
the presidency of Columbia University
to become mayor of New York City,
people applauded the induction into
public life of an educator as an awak-
ening of the people to the betterment
of civic conditions. When the news
papers carried the announcement that
President Taft had offered the post OF
Ambassador to England to President
Charles Eliot, of Harvard College, the

the Southern Negro. He is speaking
particularly in the interests of the Ma

There never has been a time since
emancipation" he said recently.
when a majority of the white people
of the South were not friendly to the
Negro as an Individual. For wears
after the close of the civil war the
colored people were confronted with
d situation that was critical in the ex-
treme. The efforts of the North in
their behalf were, from the very ma
ture OF things, misunderstood by the
South, while the efforts of those of
| the South who really felt an interest
IN their welfare were misunderstood
north of the Mason and Dixon line.
Fortunately, this condition has dis
appeared, and a majority of the peo-
| pie OF all sections are now in hearty
sympathy with the colored people in
their efforts TO elevate their race. The
| colored people of North Carolina who
have been upright in their dealings
| I5-BEE
and avoided places of dissipation are
accorded all the rights TO which they
| are entitled under the laws, and pos
| sess the confidence of the whites"
AS showing the attitude of the white
| people OF the South and their willing
ness to grant the Negro educational
facilities, he told of the effort to have
| constitutional amendment passed 10
permit the Negroes to have for edu-
| CatlOnal purposes only such sums as
were raised from taxes on property
owned by Negroes. The sentiment
against this measure throughout the
State was so strong, he saiu, that the
matter was dropped before it could
| be brought before the Legislature.
But Judge Pritchard said much re-
mains to be done in improving the
condition of the Negro, and he init
mated that some of the money spent
for foreign missions might better be
| used for this purpose.
| Christians to-day are contributing
more than ever before" he said, "tC

and it is proper that they should. But
the obligation to care for those IN oul
midst is greater and if possible more
imperative. Until we have remedieC
conditions at home, home mission.
should keep pace with foreign mis-
Sions."
I Ore of the greatest men of the Ne
gro race, he said, was DR.. James E
Shepard, who had founded in Dur
ham, n. C., a school for the benef
of his race. The Negroes are takeI
there, he said, and while they are be
ing taught in industrial courses the,

their interests. At the summer ses
