THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.

The asphalt pavement along Uni
versity Ave. Is being repaired, the
work Is being done mostly by Ne
groes. 1t Is worthy of mention that
many of our residents are taking to
this work which has been done for
merly by imported Negroes. The
past hard winter has taught many
of us the value and dignity Of labor.
The Negro, who is ashamed to labor
with pick and shovel Is generally
Unidentified with the loafing and
criminal class--the destructive ele-
ment Of the race.

RACE HAS HIGH IDEALS.

Pres. Taft recently said that "the
Colored Race has high ideals" That's
Just why they are supporting Roose-
velt in whom they realize cham
pion of right, not an apologist like
Pres. Taft, who has sustained the
Dred 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.
