Row for head of the Normal School,
and whatever the private opinions OF
vnrious individuals concerning the
motives and causes which conspired
together to give him the place-tO
base attack upon his occupancy OF
that position on his one-tiine tenure
of professorsbip in the Southern
University under the conditions
which existed, is Stiffness carried to
its ultimate degree.
Men come back to us, aye and
women too, who have carried the
gospel Of goodness and cleanliness
and decency out and down to the
savages Of the ends of the earth, and
they are honored and reverenced for
their courage and sincerity no mat
ter what the degree Of wisdom and
of judgment shown.
Ii then, an educated white man to
be ostracised because he for a time
is occupied in the work of betterment
and uplift applied to the weak and
ignorant that surround and jeopar-
die by their weakness and Ignorance
the very civilization of the region
where that white man lives?
There is an element in the South
which "doth protest too much" its
superiority to the bloods other than
Caucasian, and the uniformed from
elsewhere are apt to conclude that
only by such protest is the superiori-
ty indicated.
The man OF gentle blood does not
need to asseverate the fact.
The man in whom pride OF race is
justified does not clamor in incessant
terms for public recognition of his
better grade OF clay.
There is much of cant and hypocri-
sy, much of the demagogue in most
of the prating,taIk now current con-
corning danger" to the white race
in incident after incident such as that
Of Professor Roy.
The physician Of purest white blood
is not bemeaned in the Southern eye
because he heals even the most 10TH
somely diseased darkey day-hand or
prostitute. The lawyer il not held
to have lowered himself to save the
neck of negro murderer, or to take
part in the martial disputes of "A riv-
er front rousta bout. The merchant
wealthy and wise and accepted So
cially, can deal across the counter
with the negro, exchange his goods
for the Negroes coin, and none frowns
upon him.
Is then the teacher to be shut off
from promotion, from advancement
because he has sought in an upright,
honest, prideful and effective way, to
lessen through proper education, the
list OF prostitutes and murderers, to
inculcate cleanliness and honesty, to
make u certain group of negro chill
dren, men and women better able to
earn honest livings and further re-
moved from being potential menaces
to the region where they live?
There lie only one answer.
There are greater dangers to the
youth OF the State of Louisiona, un-
rebuked by the press and unmention-
ed by politicians, than are to be dis
covered in the elevation of q young
man Of unblemished personal char
acter aud clean home life, who prac-
tices as well as breaches the Caucas-
iau's belief in racial purity and aloot-
ness, even if that young man did
once seek to instill into negro and
negroid minds the difference between
right and wrong and the advant-
ages of industry and cleanliness

SLsATON WELLS
GREAT PRODUCER
Has Flow of Two Million
Gallons Daily and Plain
view ReJOIceS.

Plainview, Texas. Jan. 17.-Water in
abundance is guaranteed at the Sla-
ton well, five miles west of Plain
view. After a "a hour continuous test
the flow was stronger than a. The be-
ginning. The pump is a nine inch
centrifugal, guaranteed by the manu-
facturers to yield 1900 gallons per
minute running at a speed of $40 revo-
lutions and lifting the water 50 feet
The last II hours this pump was
speeded to $40 revolutions, lifting the
water only SO feet, and was unable
to lower the water level, which shows
that 100 gallons to the minute is a
very conservative estimate at present
and 1t is continually growing stronger
as the sand is extracted
Since the water rises from its 100
foot depth to within 20 feet Of the
surface and because the drill was per-
meating water bearing strata when
stopped, it is thought that further
drilling would result in flowing well.
Some claim that Plainview is located
upon vast underground river and
that its lateral confines may be mar
row, but the presence of 40 foot clay
strata above the water serves TO refute
the idea that the well is sunk into the
bed Of a former surface Stream.
Other wells which are to be sunk at
once In other places will put this ques-
ton to the test. we'll that flows

is thought that the eternal SHOWS upon

Would a person fall in love with

stealing her away from the sawdust
ring.

ing a twostep on "Bingo's' broad back
Really the show is peachy and so is
Miss ST Leon.
This play is quite what it has been
cracked up as being, redolent per-
vaded, indeed saturated, with the
lovely and homely sentiments of life,
idealized in a commonplace way so
that they drive home to the common
place emotions; and Of course you are
delighted.
Mabel Talieferro created the role of
Polly and won renown. Miss St. Leon.
who plays Polly here, does it in a way
that no other actress could excel; she
is simply irresistible in her naive nat
