Come to think about it, he is the

the fellow who voted for man as
speaker of the house who was not
even elected to a seat and when he
found his mistake passed it off as a

did all he could to get an old and
trusting friend appointed to a posi-,

A|eGne Walker Dead

The community was considerably
shocked yesterday morning when
the news was spread that Aleene,
the young daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rodolph Walker had passed
away after an illness of only few
days with scarlet fever. Aleene
was years of age, of a bright and
cheerful disposition that made
friends of all with whom she came
in contact.
The funeral was held this after
noon and was private, Rev. Map
son conducting the services at the
house and the grave. Many fol-
lowed the remains of their little
friend to their last resting place.

ENTIRE COUNTRY REJOICES
OVER DESERVED PROMOTION
OF EMMETT J. SCOTT ELECT
Ed SECRETARY OF TUSKEGEE
INSTITUTE.
There is general

Washington, d. C.-There is general
rejoicing throughout the country over
the action of the board of trustees of
Tuskegee Institute in electing that
faithful and experienced worker, Mr..
Emmett j. Scott, as secretary of the
school, in the upbuilding of which he
has had SO large a part. The place
was created especially for him, and is
a fitting recognition of his eminent
and helpful services to the institu-
tion covering period of Is years.
The honor came wholly unsolicited,
as far as Mr.. Scott is concerned, and
was. therefore, complete surprise to
him. Although he accepts the rare
compliment paid him by the heads of
the school, 1t is understood that in as
suming the new dignity he will not
consent to any suggestion that the re-
lations he has long sustained as Dr.
Washington's secretary shall be termi-
mated. Consequently, it has been ar
ranged that Mr.. Scott shall continue
to serve the principal in the same ca
pacity as of yore, in addition to his
duties as secretary to the school.
Mr.. Scott is a native of Houston
Texas, and is a leader in the field of
journalism, as well as in the arena of
education. He won his spurs on the
Houston Daily Post, and with C. n.
Love founded the Texas Freeman, the
higher voice of the great southwest
He is now editor of the Tuskegee Stu
dent, a paper of wide circulation and
vast influence in educational circles,
and has just launched the Business
League Herald, as the spokesman of
the National Negro Business League,
of which he is corresponding secre
tary. Mr.. Scott has declined several
flattering offers to go into the federal
service, but was induced by President
Taft to accept a place on the United
States commission to adjust the diff
culties of the Liberian republic, and
had the distinction of being the first
colored man appointed by Mr.. Taft
after his Inauguration in 1909. On
this commission, in company with
military and civil officers of high rank,
Mr.. Scott acquitted himself with
marked credit, and is conceded to
have been the foremost member of
that unique body.
1t is felt by Mr.. Scott's host of
friends that in his enlarged sphere of
activity, Mr.. Scott will prove to be
an even more potent factor than ever
in the forward movements and exten-
sion work Of the famous Tuskegee In
stitute. He is in receipt of a heavy
mail, bearing congratulations.

This holds good in all India, yet
the Rodiyas are much lighter in color

Their better physical condition is
due to the fact that up to the English

Governors and other leaders from
several southern states recently con.
ferred in Baltimore on labor and in.
dustrial conditions in that section.
The reawakened south, industrially
and agriculturally expanding at rate
unknown since the Civil war, needs la,
Dor. There is insistent demand that
European immigrants be steered to
the south to supply this demand.
The negro is almost ignored in this
demand for immigration. He is set
down as hopeless, trifling. futile, i'm,
possible. But is it safe to rush to that
conclusion?
Though the white population of the
south is increasing more rapidly than
the black. and though every decenniaJ
census makes 1t more clear that there
is no possible danger of the black, as
once was feared, coming to predomi
nate-despite all this, the fact remains
that there are some 10000 of col
ored people in the country, and that
they cannot be got rid of. There
stands the hard fact.
1t may be that the negro is not so
desirable worker in factory or field
as the immigrant; but if the immi
grant takes his place, the negro will
be left on the hands of society. de-
manding the means of livelihood. a
menace to the community in greater
and greater degree just in proportion
as the hopelessness of his condition
is made more apparent.
If the south's 100000 negroes
could be traded off for 100000 OF
whites, that would be solution. But
they cannot be. The negroes are
there They must be provided for;
made as useful as possible; made to
support themselves.
To make the most, the best, of its
negro workers is the first big duty of
the south. 1t Is the most difficult
problem before the nation.
1t cannot be solved by the effort to
drive the negro out; he will not be
driven out. He must be looked after,
educated in the right way. given a
chance to be self-respecting, encour-
aged to improve his condition.-Co-

The progress OF a race is measured
alike by things the race is trying to
do and by the things that it has
ceased to do. Among the things that
have fallen into discredit among us
we may mention these: Begging mon
ey from the whites with which to bury
a negro That used to be a rather
common custom in small towns and
villages. We know now that when
ever the whites have to be appealed
to for funds with which to bury ne
gro 1t is in the case of a negro who
is not worth burying. Another Gus
tom now happily on the decline is
that of soliciting aid from the whites
to enable us to celebrate the 10Th of
June Thoughtful negroes everywhere
are beginning to feel that in a matter
of this sort the negro should pay the
piper or do without the music. But
what about another habit closely akin
to these two and which in some quar-
ters is as strong now among us? We
mean the habit of begging and harass-
ing the white man for funds with
which to buid fine churches. Haven't
we reached the point where the ne
gro should be content to worship III
only such buildings as he is able to
erect himself and such as his limited
means will Justify? We know the
negro does violence to his self-respect
to say nothing about what he does
TO God-by soliciting for funds to
build churches which In no sense is
an indication of the sort of homes
the race is content to occupy. In the
matter OF building costly churches we
have long ago exceeded the speed
limit and in the method OF getting
the funds together for that purpose
we have often outraged common
sense and ordinary decency and self
respect church should in a meas

should do so by reason of being be-
low the general average of such
things. In ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred the church with us is a gro
tesque exaggeration. The deserving
leader In these matters is the man
who is trying to get the race to come
down to the earth. Generally we've
been acting on the theory: First, get
fine churches and everything else will
be added. We've got to turn that rule
around. Common sense, business
sense, and the sense of self-respect all
dictate this reversal.-Dallas Express,
Those who have kept tab on Hous-
tons local affairs, especially as they
apply to and affect the negro citizen
ship, know for a certainty that
brighter and better day is dawning.
The negro is coming into his own. In
this particular, they as class are do
ing much for themselves, but as a
matter of fact the changes that are
being effected daily and which are
bound to inure to the negro's bet
terment are being rapidly facilitated
by the daily press of the city, promi-
nent among which is the Houston Post,
which says:
I'VE come now to the question of
housing the negro people of Houston,
and what we say of Houston is true
of all the larger cities of the south.
The great majority of negroes live in
rented houses owned by white people.
AS a rule, these habitations are miser-
able, filthy, insanitary shacks, locat-
ed upon boggy streets. People who
inhabit such places are subjected to
such conditions of living that disease,
physical and moral is inevitable.
The consideration of self-preserva-
tion alone would suggest the crying
necessity for better conditions. If
such filthy quarters result in malig-
nant diseases, the health of the white
people of the community is always i'm
periled. Negroes are employed in al
most every well-to-do white home in
the southern cities, and their capacity
to transmit disease is limited only by
the conditions among which they live.
If they are afforded decent surround
cleanliness and self-respect that is 9TH
erwise impossible. This incentive
must be afforded by their white land
lords.
"A Houston building firm recently an
nounced that it would erect some mod
ell cottages to be sold upon easy
terms to negroes. This is an example
worthy emulation. The homecoming
negro is good citizen Home-owner-
ship makes good citizen of the aver
age man white or black. But one
thing is certain: The public health
of all southern cities will be greatly
improved and the mortality rate ma
terially reduced if far-reaching move
ments be inaugurated to house the
tenant negroes in clean and sanitary
houses. They are going to be with
us always, and it is but common
sense to encourage them in every pos
sible way to become a helpful, intelli-
gent, moral and respectable influence
in the communities in which they live.
This they can not do unless they have
the constant sympathy and aid of their
white fellow citizens.
