Another prophet has arisen who
confidently claims that the immigra-
ton of foreigners into the south will
solve the Negro problem. Just how
this is to come Is not made as clear
as one could desire. 1t Is certain that
the Negro problem is not going to be
solved by increasing the competition
which the Negro now has unless Ne
gro efficiency is going to be increased
out of proportion to his competitors.
OF course this is impossible because
every foreign element admitted to our
citizenship is going to get better
school advantages than those accord
ed the Negro. In this respect the
Introduction of foreigners to the
south means the curtailment Of en-
ployment for Negroes and the cor
responding neglect of those facilities
which are designed to better fit and
prepare a people for the fuller life
of our civilization. All of the bene-
fits which the negro may hope to de-
rive from foreign immigration are
indirect rather than otherwise. The
Increase of the population of the
south will diminish the social and po-
litical importance of the Negro and
in this way the race may drop from
public discussion. This will be an
indirect benefit and one too that may

Three hundred hotel walters were
discharged in New York last year and
their places given to foreigners.
Among other objections urged against
the retention of Negro walters was
that they presented too great a va
riety in color. That is to say. II
twenty y-hve men were employed at
place they ranged in color all the
way from that Of the darkest to the
lightest races of mankind and this is
supposed to have had a queer effect
on something or somebody. 1t is not
at all improbable that In the course
OF time the colored man will find diff
flculty in getting job in town unless
1t is furnished him by another Negro.
And this can be possible only on the
theory that the Negro becomes to be
a factor in the Industrial and COM
mercial affairs of this country. At
present we are practically jobless

other folks for jobs, ranging all the
way from backing boots to represent

himself and then for others is at

mean public neglect. OF course the
Negro is not in position Just now to
be left to himself. He needs help
now and will need 1t for the next four
or five generations. We are of the
opinion that emigration will not
solve the Negro problem but may Gre

Few people who amuse themselves
by singing or whistling the popular
song Casey Jones" are aware of the
fact that the song was first originat-

A writer in a recent issue of the

ing history of the origin Of the song:

started by an old negro named Geo.

will often hear them hum something
about that person. Casey was ad-

about his ability to get over the road.
OF course. old Uncle George
could not help sing Casey's praise, SO
he collected a few scattering words
in real negro fashion. With the help
of the colored firemen, switchmen,
etc, he got together two short verses
and composed an air for the words

added and the songs popularity grew.

Is it not a disheartening thing to
go through life under the harrow of
debt, struggling to get release under
circumstances that give no hope of
relief? Is it not unfortunate to feel
that we can never lift the mortgage
from the home, that in spite Of all our
efforts 1t must finally be sold over
the heads of those dearer to US than
life itself? But all this Is nothing
compared with the mortgage of vice
upon the character which blights the
life Many a man has died without
being able to lift a mortgage from his
home, yet has been a real success, for
he has kept his manhood clean, his
integrity unstained, and, although he
left no material wealth, he has en-
riched the lives of all who knew him
The nicotine mortgage upon your
vitality, the alcohol mortgage which
hardens your nerve fiber, benumbs
the brain cells, paralyzes the power
to achieve and makes you a slave in
stead of a king, are encumbrances
compared with which the mere mort
gage upon your home is a blessing. If
you are mortgaged to the cigarette
habit, which demoralizes your ambi-
ton, poisons your blood, benumbs
your nerves and vitiates your aim; If
you have a whisky mortgage, an i'm
mortality mortgage on your character
which you have been trying for years
to lift, this is infinitely worse than
your chattel mortgage or real estate
mortgage.
The mortgage on your home may
not touch your real self In spite of
it, you may be a man, respected, look.
ed up to, admired. If your life has
been clean you may have made every
acre of land In your vicinity worth
more. But If your character is mort
gagged to a demoralizing habit; If you
are the victim Of a degrading vice
that holds you down, cripples your ad-
vance, this is a thousand times worse.
1t loses you not only your respect, but
also the respect of those who know
you.-Success Magazine.
