THE NEGRO EDITOR.

The Negro editor has to make mucn
of the news he writes. The social
clubs, the church, the Fraternai or
CARNATIONS, all must feel his guiding
hand. He is expected to be In every
thing and run errands for everyone;
send out bills for subscription and
have them ignored; do all the lying
for harmonys sake. get his dog
kicked around. and hold the sack.
He is guide, philosopher and friend
to those that are in trouble; mentor
and admonisher to those that are
about to get into trouble. The
preacher, the would-be-statesman, the
social climber, the dear girls. the way
ward boys: he must share all their
troubles, he is the confessor, the
Negro boomer, and the black goat
the door mat, the rock of refuge, the
lacky boy, and the vicarious sacrifice
A Negro editor Is the only creature IN
the wide animal kingdom that needs
the wings of dove, the strength OF
a lion. the protective odor of skunk
the smooth crawling belly of the worm
of the dust, and the aspirations OF 9
God.-The Seattle searchlight.

coLoRED NEWSPAPERS AND
OTHER ENTERPRISES.

There is one thing that our people
as a race should know, and the sooner
they know, the hattar the race. 1t
is very essential that business enter.
prises that are already established
should be supported, and others es-
tablished. It should not be necessary
for me to tell you why. II you read
the colored papers you already know,
remarkc writer in an exchange.
It is my purpose in this short article
to tell you few reasons why you
should pay your colored newspaper
bills and bid them Godspeed. First,
colored papers have in common an
interest In you, in every phase Of race
progress. Your success In church.
school, business, society and politics,
Is also the new papers success. When
you. as an enterprising man or wom-
an, aspiring boy or girl, refuse to sup
port your own paper, you strike your
self and race a great blow.
Your boys and girls are coming
out of school every year by the hun
dreds. Unlike boys and girls OF
other races, there Is no job awaiting
them. And II they try to make one
for themselves and others in the
newspaper and others in the news.
paper and newspaper business, would
you be cruel enough to thwart their
efforts by refusing to pay an honest
bill for years subscription or a
sack Of flour? ..
You must patronize your colored
merchants and newspapers, or for.
ever make a beggar out Of your race
You say, perhaps, the newspapers is
not a good one. Why not? Don't
you think 1t Is because you withhold
your financial support?-The Seattle
Searchlight.

RACE HAS HIGH IDEALS.

Pres. Taft recently said that the
Colored Race has high ideals" That's
Just why they are supporting Roose-
Welt in whom they realize a cham,
pion of right, not an apologist like
Pres. Taft, who has sustained the
bred Scott decision by refusing to ap.
point Negroes to offices wherever 1t
was Objectionable to white men, and
who by the appointment of Southern
Confederates to the Supreme Bench
has denied the Negroes their Con
stitutional Rights. Roosevelt never
closed the door of hope In the face
of the Negro.

Five Typical Americans.

z
There are exactly tive candidates for
the presidency this year. and four OF
the Ave have been candidates for the
office before. Governor Woodrow VIII
son OF New Jersey. the Democratic
nominee. being the only one who mas
not previously acted as standard
bearer OF his party.
In alphabetical order the eve candi.
dates are Eugene Wilder Chain Of
Arizona, Prohibition; Eugene Victor
Debs OF Indiana. Socialist: Theodore
Roosevelt OF New York. Progressive;
william Howard Taft of Ohio. Repub.
lican. and Woodrow Wilson Of New
Jersey. Democrat.
Have these men any traits In com.
mon that may be taken as indicative
Ut our national ideals? 1t may be as
sumed that any people would choose as
their supreme Representatives those in
dividuals who possessed In a marked
degree their own virtues. That being
the case. what are the virtues that
these men all possess that may be
taken as typical Of those Of the ma.
tion7
The Hrst and most gratifying IL that
they are men Of clean private lives, as
has been the case with practically all
Of our presidents. Their family reia.
lions are ideal. Not the slightest breath
OF scandal has ever been heard con-
corning any Of them.
The same is true Of their public life.
Aside from criticism Of official acts.

hint of stain on their garments. Debs
once served term In jail. but was
sentenced as the head of a labor or
ganiza don In a strike-that Ia. In his
representative and not In his personal
capacity.
All of them are comparatively poor.
Roosevelt is perhaps the richest Of the
lot. and most Of his money was in
herited.
All are good speakers. though none
of the I've would be classed as an ora.
tor. All are well educated In the true
sense, although only three Taft,
Roosevelt and Wilson-are college
men. Three are lawyers-Taft, Chain
and Wilson-although Wilson did moi
practice long. Three are writer's OF
books Wilson, Chain and Roosevelt
and. strangely enough, all three are
writer's Of histories
All are physically at. Taft and VIII.
son play golf. Roosevelt hunts and
plays tennis. and Chain IL something
OF an athlete.
All are very much in earnest, though
with a gift Of humor; all are public
spirited and believe in principles. Az
types they reflect credit on the Ameri
can people. j.. A. EDGERTON.

The United States marines In the
navy yard at Philadelphia object to

Yet pajamas have their uses. In the

are worn by day as well as by night.
In frigid midwinter they do not dap

They are not things Of beauty, espe-
