TRAINING SCHOOL MAKES
c0MMENDABLE PROGRESS.
lostitutien For Women and Girls Out
grows Present Quarters.

The National Training School For
Women and Girls. Lincoln heights,
Washington. is growing by leaps and
bounds The institution is not quite
two years old. The enrolment last
year covered twenty-four states and
four foreign countries. Applications
are already coming in from most every
section. and 1t is evident that Miss n.
II. Burroughs will not have room uu-
less the friends of education who re-
alize the Importance Of vocational
school for our girls rally to her appeal
for funds with which to put up anoth-
er building. This. the president says.
must be done. and done at once. or the
management will be brought face to
face with most embarrassing situa-
ton.
Washington IS both strategic and
attractive educational center. and
school for colored girls is going to
draw on every state in the Union. 1t
Is simply marvellous what has been
done i'm these twenty months and GER
tainly a forecast of glorious future
for the National Training school. The
trustees are now embarrassed for
lack of funds with which to put up
building and properly equip it for car
rying on the splendid work Of training
for all kinds OF service.
This is the first effort on the part of
colored women throughout the country
to attempt to train those who are to
help solve the many problems that are
before us, They should be helped by
every one who desires TO see the race
advance. for without a consecrated,
trained womanhood serving well in
the positions open to them 1t will be
impossible for us to advance very rap
idly. The school stands for the high
est development of Christian woman
hood. II stands for industry. 1t stands
for Intelligent and well trained work
men In every position.

initiation of man and men by legislation
and the slumbering OF justice over these
wrongs always result In sadness to the
sufferers. We call the attention of the
nation to the lynch aud bullet riddle fad
OF the less civilized section of our coun-
try. There murder license is obtained by
common consent. and tho murderers are
to be white and the murdered black
There demons have decreed that colored
men must be beaten and murdered into
subjcction. bur God has decreed other
wise. The constitution safeguards their
freedom OF speech. and they will not hold
their peace.
LynchinE is reiished for more than ono
reason. In the first place. 1t gives evil
politicians platform ammunition drawn
from inexhaustible fountains OF magnifed
lies. In tho second place. 1t gives n hos
tile press an opportunity not only to mis-
represent us, but to do us great harm In
many ways. By cnlarging on those things
which put the race in bad light and for
:he most part remaining silent on those
things In our favor part of the press
has fostered the cause of race prejudice
cmboldened our cowardiy prosecutors and
weakened tho faith of many friends who
seem not to see the injustice of the press
The recent Florida lynchinH may be
cited as typical of the treatment accorded
to tho colored man. While this happy
gathering of fiery demons might not have
measured up in atrociousness to some that
have gonc before. 1t is wild enough to
be used as an example. There six coored
men were put to death. six men who In
civilized communities are considered in
noccnt. for men are considered until
they are proved guilty. Those innocent
men were murdered by those fiery demons

We commend those governors who have
endeavored to punish delinquent officers

The Statesman representative spent
a while this week at the Mutual laun-
dry. 1t is now open and running. To
those who have heard of it as busi-
ness in contemplation and felt that it
would not get beyond the stock selling
stage, it would be a revelation to go
to it's quarters at 2540 Washington
and see the flying belts, the whirling
washers, extractors. and feel the heat
from its ironers and boiler. So much
of race enterprise is brag and bluff
and so little of it real achievement,
that it is no exaggeration to say for
the Mutual laundry that it has sur
prised all. 1t has a huge washer, an
extractor, starcher. steam and hot wa
ter boiler, huge tank, ironers for cuffs
and collars, for body. for bosom, for
wristbands, for neck bands, dryers in
series, a mangler, and in fact the full
equipment for first class laundry. In
addition, it has the facilities for doing
such work as can best be done by
hand.

sive.
Throughout the thirteen counties Of
the fair district, the keenest interest
is being shown in the approaching
