BACK TO AFRICA

AS field Tor grating, cxploita-
ton and the working of games Of
graft, Charleston seems to be snot-
TED. Hardly had the faker passed
who solicited assistance in cscap-
ing from the South where he said
he had killed a man caught assault
ing his daughter, before there
comes along another with a lot of
,tommNrot about the Negro cmiyrat
ing to Africa.
Em1grate to Africa indeed. And
what pray would we do if we had
tn" money to pay the passage to
Africa: Very likely die of fever,
those of us who did not succumb to
starvation; for Africa is no land Of
milk and honey, all reports of the
contrary notwithstanding. To this
Tact those Georgians. who followed
blShop Turner advice and re-
turned to this country broken in
health and destitute of means. will
mgly attest.
But even If conditions were fay
cradle to the American Negro's
success IN the Dark Continent. The
Advocate can see no reason for his

making a new home across the sea
WITH It's division into spheres Of
influence, Africa is rapidly becom-
ING as much OF "a white mans
,rountry'' as any other on the face
OF the globe. There, at the pres
ent rate Of advancement, condi-
tons will soon differ but little

flee in this country.
One Of the stock Inducements If
the Back-to-Africa advocates is
cheap land. They overlook the
land, good arabic land. which NAV
DE had III the South for a song.
Ihey Go not tell those, whom they
are trying to influence. that the
school system at the South, at its
worst, IS lmmesurably better than
anything they will find in Africa
lor years to come. Oh no, that s
not IN the game. It SufIiccs if, as
III the case Of Bishop Turner,
puD1c1tH may be had by preaching
emigration to the dear old father
land, or. as with the man who g
dong" Charleston, an easy liv-

 In no American city has the fight On more vigorously or against heav- fer odds than in New Orleans, and though the ring is again in power, the work of regeneration has gone too far to allow the city to sink back in to the abyss of degradatioh into which 1t had fallen in ,lsSS. The conditions then existing, as recalled by the Times esDemocrat of that city, which has been a strong influence for re- form, now seem hardly credible. The government then existed only for spells. It had sold the city. water works because it could not maintain them. It had let the wharves rot and then leased them. It had sur rendered the markets to a private con cern. Fire protection had been turn ed over. to private organization, ev- en as in ancient Rome, and incred- ible as tt may seem, the ring was on the point of surrendering the polic- aries were in arrears. Teachers were paid in certificates worth but 39 cents on the dollar; the city scrip paid for constructors work was worth but 40 cents. The city was always lodging the United States courts. Charity was supported by a fund wrung from gamblers and was so scandalously administered that it had to stop The. municipal government had abandon ed its functions; chaos ard anarchy reigned supreme. And then came the great. wave of reform, which turned the rascals out. Some years later an unfortunate split in the reform ranks allowed the ring to regain con- trol for bIfef time, but in 1896 came a second municipal houseclean- ing. Since then New Orleans has been steadily progressing; the pres ent triumph of the gang can be as- cribed only to the neglect which es- tablished security brings. It is inn probable that New Orleans will again

VACATIONS
THE CAUSE
OF DIVORCES?
(By Dorothy Dix

The Rev Dr.. Talmage told his con-
gregation, a Sunday or two ago, that
lnine-tenths of all divorces are due TO
the temptations of the summer vaca-
ton, and he warned women not to go
off on summer vacation unless they
lwere willing to risk losing their hus-
bands
Is Dr. Talmage right or wrong?
Does the summer vacation promote
! domestic felicity, or is it the first aid
to the divorce court?
Is a woman more sure of being in a
mans thoughts when she is SO direct
ly under his eye that it is physically
impossible to forget her, or does he
think most tenderly of her when she
is far away, and her remoteness
makes a TRANSFERRING haze that mag
nifies her charms and conceals her
faults?
Should a Wife, particular, who de-
sires to retain her husbands affec-
ton, give him her society in allopo-
thic, or homeopathic doses?
Two Views About Husbands.
This is problem concerning which
there is great diversity of opinion IN
feminine circles. Some women con-
tend that, as man is but creature OF
habit and imperfectly domesticated at
best, it is never safe to let him quit
eating out of your hand, while other
women hold that more love is bored to
death than is killed in any other way.
And both Of these opposite theories
have a certain degree of right on their
side.
We all admit that propinquity is the
great matchmaker, and if it is so val,
liable in catching a man it should BE
equally useful in holding him. The
women who subscribe to this belief
are those who never leave their hus-
bands for a single day, and insist upon
sharing all of their work and pleasure.
Theirs is the matrimonial trust spirit
to establish such an iron bound
monopoly over a man that it will head
off all competition.

was so terribly thin and she knew it
hadn't had anything to eat for weeks,
and she asked everybody around there
and they said it was a stray cat and
so she had brought it home, and it
really was starved because when Mary

it just grabbed the meat and ran I'M
