Hints for the Home

Can some Cornerite advise me as to
where I can obtain pine needles to fill

used? If those who own ferns and
palms will feed them a tablespoonful
of castor oil once month they will
see decided change in the growth and
appearance of the plants l make Gu
cumber pickles which every one thinks
fine. 1t may be that some Corneritc
might like to try it. Pack fresh Gu
cumbers in Jars. Those that are too
large should be cut up. To each quart
jar add a teaspoon of white mustard
seed, two teaspoons Of sugar, and two
teaspoons of salt 1 usually pack half
green pepper on top of my cucum-
hers. Fill the jar with cold white wine
vinegar and seal. These will keep in

covered from a siege of typhoid fever.

LOOK TO THE INSIDE.
(From Dallas Express)

AS the days go by the need of
the colored man making his bust
ness venture a success is more and
more apparent. Everywhere and
on every hard the positions once
open to him as laborer are be
ing closed. The wealthy white
man and businss concern are turn
ing more and more with each sue
ceeding day, to the men of modest
wealth of their own blood for the
labor to man their enterprises.
Without going into the question
as to why this is true it is enough
for thoughtful men to know that
it is a fact, and to turn their at
tention to the remedy.
The remedy is two-fold. First,

must not depend on color for sue
cess. Their places must be kept
clean, their stocks modern and
their help obliging and polite.
Loafers and hangers. on must be
cut off and routed. The prices
must be nearly as possible be made
to conform to the ordinary mar
ket. The other remedy lies in the
colored people who are not in bus
mess. They must speedily come
to know that they are the hope of
the Negro who has invested his
money in ninety. nine cases in a
hundred. They must also be
brought to understand that their
children's only hope of employment
beyond chewing wood and drawing
water" lies in the success of the
colored business and professional
man, G) where you will among
the stores, factories, offices and
agencies operated by the white
man and you will fine no place
for the Negro except that of SER
want. This is his unalterable pro-
gram and it is exactly the size OF
the exactly as long as time.
1t is useless to plan any inroad
upon it. The possibility of chang
ing it admits not even of discuss
ion. There is but one hope for
the Negro who desires to see his
son or daughter rise above the es-
tate of menial, and that is to own
the enterprise which can give the
position. 1t is up to him. The
world awaits an answer. AS we
see it, self-help is the panacea for
his industrial and financial ills.
Let us be assured that no man
can rise higher than he can rise
by pulling on his own bootstraps.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 4.-The ju-

Senate killed the bill to prevent
the intermarriage of races. The
bill had been already passed by the
lower house of the Legislature, and
was regarded as an entering wedge
to all kinds of Jim Crow meas
ures. 1t was bitterly fought by
leading colored residents, who en-
listed the efforts of white Republi-
cans against the BILL. 1t was point
ed out by the protestants of the
bill that cases of intermarriage be-
tween white and colored persons
were infrequent and that the meas
ure was intended to humiliate the
colored people.

DEFENDS THE
NEGROES
Opposes The Idea That Since Negro Has Been Freed From
There Is Nothing More To Do About It.

many of its own members "behind
the veil" 1t means an enormous
loss of capacity to the nation when
great ranges of human life are
hedged about with antagonism.
"We forget that whatever is
spontaneous in people, in an in
individual, class or a nation, is
always sourse of life, a wellspring
of refreshment to a jaded civiliza-
ton To continually suspect, sup
press and to fear any large group
in a community must finally re-
suit in a loss of enthusiasm for
type of government which gives
fair play to the self-determination
of a majority of its citizens.
Must we admit that the old
abolitionist arguments now seem
fiat and stale; that, because we are
no longer stirred to remove letters,
to prevent cruelty, to lead the hum
blest to the banquet of civilization,
therefore we are ready to eliminate
the conception of right and wrong
from political affairs and to sub
stitute the base doctrine of 'politi-
cal necessity end reasons of state'?"
The issue of .he Survey in which
this article appears is devoted to a
distinguished symposium on the
Negro question. Professor George
Burman Foster of the University
of Chicago, writes on "The Status
and Vocation of our Colored Peo-

rector of the National League on
Urban Conditions Among Negroes

Perhaps the most militant" ar
ticle in the series is the last one.
George Parkard of the Chicago bar
in an article entitled ga Civic
Problem and Social Duty" con-
tends that the disfranchisement of
the Negro and the robbery of his
civil and political rights is in vio-
lation of the Constitution and
makes out of what is at best
difficult problem a real menace to
our institutions.
He says in conclusion:
