Many of the men of prominence In
the Negro race today still carry the
scars Of slavery upon their backs. In
deed, most Of the Negroes Of real dis
tinction, those who have rendered val
liable upiift service, have come out of
the awful thraldom. up from slavery,
and, have known the terrible woes and
SORROWS of the system!
\ But these men have made their way
up from darkness to light, from pow
erty to comparative plenty, from ig-
norance to enlightenment, from pagan
ism to Christianity, because they early
realized that there is no royal road to
success.
These men represent type. Rev.
James w. Rankin, ID. D., the present
secretary Of the missionary depart
ment of the great African Methodist
Episcopal church, located at 81 Bible
House, New York, is one of the type
Just described. He Is a man of splen-
did business ability. He shows cOur-
tesy without condescension, affability
without familiarity, self sufficiency
without selflshness.
DR.. Rankin was born in an open field
on a plantation In Mississippi while
his humble slave mother was still at
work under the watchful eyes Of a
heartless taskmaster. The mother and
infant were taken to their cabin by
their slave companions. Young Rankin
experienced all the trials and hard
ships Of the child in slavery. His father
was tanner and tanned all the leather
from which shoes were made for more
than 100 slaves on his masters planta-
tion. While yet In slavery his mother

The city sleeps. Overhead. the

scarf OF gauzy cloud, watches waniy,

Softly the pale moon and the paler

A knocking bird bursts into sudden
SONG, paen Of joy. and the cocks

The sun rises in majesty and the
dew wet grasses giimmer, and pines

wind from the sea.
A distant whistle blows, and the city
clock strikes four.
The lights OF the lamp posts fade,
and the sleepy watchmen go their

The silence Is broken by the sudden
harsh cry OF an automobile horn. and
the sound OF rapid footsteps rings loud
ly on the deserted street
The fog fades and the sun shines in

trees OF the city square. and a police
man strikes his stick against a post
and it rings out harshly in the beauty
OF the early morning.
Along the thoroughfare doors are
opened, and windows thrown mp. and
porters are seen welding their brooms.
Men pass each other. hurrying, on

Opposed to interchangeable
Mileage Books.

The citizens of the East Coast OF
Florida are trying to induce the East
Coast railroad 10 permit the use OF
interchangeable mileage books on it's
system. The railroad officials reply
that the road is the sole and only rea-
son for the development and pros
perity of the East Coast and that
they dc not intend to change their
system of doing business simply be-
cause the people who are dependent
on the road for transportation desire
it.
OF course the people who do bust
ness with the East Coast road and
who pay to the railroad the money
which constitutes it's profits deserve
no credit for building up their Sec
ton of the state and should receive
no consideration from the railroad to
which they pay tribute. This is typi-
cal railroad reasoning
Our own L. & N. railroad is in the
habit Of reasoning In much the same
way. The Ia & N uses interchan-
geable mileage. but it enforces a rate
OF one-half cent per mile more than
most OF the other railroad systems N
the South charge.
You can buy an Interchangeable
mileage book good over practically
all OF the Southern railroad systems
for $50. You pay the L. & n. rail-
road SIS.
This is a rate that works a hard

vote from the county of Escambia or
the city Of Pensacola
I want our critics to understand that
by the figures, Jacksonville has al
most divided its vote with respect to
these kind of offices, whereas if candi-
dates would have run against a Jack
would more than likely, as in the
lount instance, have received almost
the entire vote of his community.
If other sections of our fair State
want to take some valued citizen for
the United States senatorship. by all
that is fair and proper in political
warfare, make the argument that your
candidate is more able apparently. or
better generally, to be representative
Of the State of Florida.
Make that kind of argument and
it is good.
But when you make only the argu-
ment that Jacksonville wants to be the
whole hog, 1T is not true, it is not fair,
and l believe when our contemporaries
will study it out and think it over, they
will admit themselves, that this is the
kind of an argument that ought to be
eliminated.
They will say that Jacksonville does
not deserve such unjust criticism.
They will say that the entry of any
Jacksonville citizen into a senatorial
race or otherwise should not rob him
of one vote because he happens to he
a citizen of one of the best neighbors
that they have in F1orida-the pro-
gressive city of Jacksonville.

Vice-President Marshall
On Real Democracy.

vice President Marshall recently
described real Democracy as he be-
lieved in 1t.
According to the vice president real
democracy is that which wants the
people to rule. The bogus sort Is that
which tends TO put the power in the
hands of demagogic politicians. DEM
ocrats who are not conscientious for
the public good cannot be called
-ewoodrow Wilson Democrats
Mr.. Marshall said: IF lived in
Maryland, and know that there ex-
sisted there a machine that tried to
place the government of the people in
the hands of favored few. and If
that machine were attempting to
check the progress of real democracy
and adhere to reactionary methods, I
should be one Of the first to take off
my coat and try to reorganize the
states democracy. Municipal, state
and national holders of office should
be selected for their conscientious
ness and fitness Principles of real
democracy win triumph-ca1l 1t pro-
gressive' democracy If you like. 1t is
the democracy OF President Wilson
and Of this administration, the kind
that is gaining strength. The peo-
pie are indorsing 1t, for it means the
rule of the people, and not that Of
