A dark vision has greatly troubled
the German popular imagination dur
ing the strain of the Morocco con
servation." 1t is an immense black
army of Africans under the tricolor on
the battiefields of Europe, thinly
veneered savages sweeping over the
pleasant Teutonic fields and adding
new barbarity to war. The kaiser s
government has found it necessary to
calm the German mind by giving out
the assurance that 1t is simply impos-
sible for France to raise a great army
Of negroes. Such comforting assertion
Is going rather far, it would appear,
vor France is steadily increasing the
number of native troops in all it's
possessions. There are $4,000 French

We do not believe that God intended

He did not intend that his creatures
should forever remain ignorant and
shrouded in ignorance. Wherever he
places talents there he expects to find
evidence of growth and increase,
therefore it is our duty to educate and
prepare all for the intelligent use OF
what God has given them. If we ex-

The master workman of God is he
and sprightliness of spirit that will
not quail in the darkness and gloom
of the breaking storm of opposition;
he is that courageous embodiment of
determination that presses onward in
spite of obstacles thrown by enemies
athwart the pathway of his passage;
he is the master and not the slave of
condition or circumstance; he is he
who can stand erect in the conscious
ness of inward integrity of purpose
and can look the whole world in the
face and can say, Though poor, | am
Gods faithful workman and a manly
man still.-National Baptist Union

There were sporadic attempts, and
yet incessant in a way, to blot out
slavery from the beginning, or short
ly after the Dutch trading vessel land
ed the first slaves at jamestown, Va,
in 1919. Even in the south there was
an effort in kind to get rid OF the
thing by noble-minded men and wom-
en- who would have no part of a sys-
tenn which was their bequeathment in
part They, of course, were few and
weak as compared with the myriad
voiced full-throated demand of cap
ital and development. But they did
their part-registered against what,
to their minds, was a sin. In our gen.
eral abuse of the section we are more
than apt to forget that the merciful
were not strictly confined to any sec
tion. The early history of the south
eastern states, especially, is filled with
bitter discussions of that day anent
the subject of African slavery. Nor
were the friends of freedom merely
content to discuss. There were state
enactments, also ordinances and de-
crees emanating from various sources
prohibiting or limiting further i'm
portation and kindred measures, look
ing forward to the final elimination of
the system These friends were few
in comparis on. but .staunch and true;
and when Did Sumter let loose they
cast their lots with the fortunes of the
north; and faithful remnant still re-
mains as evidence of universal friend

Talk business and promote bust
ness. The negro needs 1t.
The negroes down here in the south
are still buying land. 1t is not high
priced or expensive, as rule, but
cheap, which, with the labor they ap-
ply and the rapid growth Of popula-
tion, soon doubles in value. Any man
can buy, and very clear line of de-
marcation is slowly but surely being
drawn between the man who makes
and wastes and the one who makes
and saves. Some of our ministers.

The enemies of Booker T. Washing
ton haye fouIldered on the rocks. They
have taken to the tall timber. by the
works of Washington these gentlemen
have been soreiy discounted. Wash
ington after all has evidently chosen
the better part" His doctrine of con-
servatism coupled with his clarion
calls for patience and labor, have set
the world thinking-and thought will
move the world. After all it must be
conceded that the negro as at present
situated and constituted with rare ex-
ceptions needs the friendly aid and
advice of those who must whether
they so desire or mott furnish him
bread and the other means of ex-
istence. His ignorance and poverty
and proneness to extravaganza make
him a plible tool in whosoever hands
he falls. 1t is well that Mr.. Wash
ington is applying his great intellect
to making this fact clear to the end
that the whites may exercise that pa
tience and proffer that help and pro-
lection, without which all negro prog
ress must cease. Thoughtful men OF
both races are coming to see Mr..
Washington in this light and admire
the discretion and courage of the man
as he works at his herculean task.
In this struggle the duty of the
great body of men of the entire coun-
try, without regard to race or color,
is plain. Let the better element of
white men and black men take the
long distance view-let them count up
all the cost-let them measure well
the work-and it is our opinion that
the consummate judgment of mankind
will be that Washington points the
way.-Dallas Express.

The True Gentleman.

Two years ago the Baltimore
Sun offered a prize for the best
definition of gentleman" The
prize definition follows, as its
universal truth makes it timely
for today and for all our tomor-
rows:
"The true gentleman is the
man whose conduct proceeds
from good will and an acute sense
of propriety, and whose self-con-
troll is equal to all emergencies;
who does not make the poor man
conscious of his poverty, the OBJ
scure man of his obscurity or
any man of his inferiority or de-
formity; who himself BUNDLED if
necessity compels him to humble
another; who does not fiatter
wealth, cringe before power or
boast of his own possessions or
achievements; who speaks with
frankness, but always with sim
certify and sympathy, and whose
deed follows his word; who think
of the rights and feelings of 9TH
ers rather than his own; who APP
pears well in any company and
who is at home when he seems to
be abroad man with whom
honor is sacred and virtue safe.

circumstances called for the
present senatorial race, and in
each precinct the election has
been possible only by the patri-
otism of the oters. They have
conducted the elections without
any additional expense to the
candidates. They have served
as clerks and inspectors; they
have carried the ballot boxes to
the county seats of their counties
all withort pay; and the newspa-
papers have printed without COM
pensation the notices of election,
All of this will have to be repeat
ed if a second primary is held.
And surely with one candidate so
far IN the lead it is not necessary
to ask the voters to hold another
election, just to see how far Mr..
BIount will be in the lead then.
1T is to be regretted that the
necessary majority was not re-
ceived by one of the candidates.
Floridians have had enough poll
tics for the last year and sec
ond primary now should be un-
necessary"

The following editorial, which
appearedin the Pensacola Jour-
nal last Thursday, meets our APP
proval as it expresses our ideas
exactly.
William A. Blount led the tick
ct by suchV plurality in the pri-
mary election Tuesday that it
looks like an imposition on the
voters of the state for the next
highest man to demand the Sec
ond primary.
For any one man to be the
choice of the voters of a state it
nearly always requires a second
primary, and in the senatorial
race the vote indicates that Mr..
Blount did not get a majority ov-
er both of his opponents, but he
lacked only a few hundred votes
of doing this. If another prima-
ry is held, even Mryan's most ar
dent supporters cannox expect
him to poll the entire Stockton
vote, if indeed, he can get more
than half of it.
A strange and unusual turn of

The Florida Christian Advo-
cate recently contained the fol-
lowing, which cannot be gainsaid:
"The hottest thing outside heav-
is the family altar; the worst
thing outside of hell is a family
fuss. The best way to prevent
a family fuss is to erect a family
altar. No child can ever get old
enough to forget it; no sinner can
ever be mean enough to disre-
gard absolutely it's power. If
parents realized that the teach
ing received at the family altar
are more helpful than all else
combined, we believe they would
build one and keep the sacred
fires of love ever burning there
on.
