Forget him?
When d mans eich i.e needs his

he's sick he Graves sympathy and

you do when your friends are sick and

around again, healthy and able to Gre
ate happiness in which you share? Most
Of Us do There are SO many we'll people
to look after that we forget the sick.
The likable man who is sick has the
best Of 1t as likable men do when they
are we'll He has always some one who
thinks Of him and puts himself out for
him. But we are not all lovable men.

What Of his long session with sickness
and loneliness?

When the reverend gentleman who

prayer the other day at the session of
that august body the lieutenant gov
erncr, q person named O'Neill, cracked
his desk with tho gavel and ordered

Served the preacher right; II he had

are that he would have connected the
liquor traffic With his leading re-
marks. What business has a prea cher
mixing into practical politics anyway
What's II to him how the legislature
makes the laws and how and VIVA,
laws? This preacher was hired to pray
before the senate Of the state Of Indi-
ans. His business was to try to in
veigIe the Lord into considering this
particular senate worthy Of all the
blessing besrowable upon virtue and
goodness. He was there to burn in
cense. Instead OF that he went scratch

Moreover the preacher deserved al

FIFTY Years Of Negro Freedom.

An impressive measurement Of negro
progress in the fifty years since eman-
cipation Is contributed by w. E. Burg
harct Du Bois editor Of The Crisis. as
one article in a notable group which
appears in The Survey. to celebrate
the completion Of the half century.
f. Professor Du Bots says:
'In 1889 there were about 100000
persons Of negro descent in the United
states. OF these 100000 and more
were just being released from slavery.
Ninety per cent were totally filiterate.
! and only one adult In six was a nom
inal christian. Fifty years later. in
1913. there are in the United States
| 10,2o0, 900 persons Of negro descent. an
increase Of l05 per cent.
The negro was freed as pennilesA,
! Ianoless, naked. ignorant laborer. BY
| 1910 he had gotten hold OF 100000
f, acres Of land and we can estimate his
total wealth today at Ss7o.oOo.o0o.
| To-day the negro is recognized
| part OF the American government; he
| holds 5000 offices in the nation, fur
! nishes four regiments In the army and
! a large number Of sailors. holds at least
| 10000 state and clay offices. and fur
! nishes soc, 900 Of the votes which rule
| the union:
TO-DAY negroes have $4,000 church
eiihces, worth s5s.ooo.oOo. There are
200 private schools and colleges man
aged and almost entirely supported by
negroes, and other public and private
| negro schools have received In forty
| years s45,o0o,oo0 Of negro money In
! taxes and donations.
This, then, Is the transformation OF
the negro In America In fifty years:
from slavery to freedom, from 5.ooo.-
coo to l0,250.0o0, from denial Of citizen-
ship to enfranchisement, from beine
owned chattels to ownership Of $780,
Oo0. 900 In property. from unorganized
irresponsibi!ity to organized grour
life, from being spoken for to speaking
from contemptuous forgetfulness OF
the part of their neighbors to uneasy
fear and dawning respect. and from in
articulate complaint to seif-expressiol
and dawning consciousness OF man
