BACK TO THE LAND MOVEMENT
Macon Telegraph

A conference of business men, farm
ers and others has been called to be
held with the Conference for Educa
ton in the South, at Richmond, April
16 to IS. The purpose of these meet
ings is to devise some method by
which the present drift from the couG-
try to the city may be checked A re-
cent survey of agriculture by the state
Board of Regents in West Virginia
finds that the movement from the
country to the towns and cities is go
ing on at an alarming rate in that
state In some of the fine farming
counties the population fell off from :
to per cent in the last decade while
it increased more than so per cent in
some of the industrial centers. This
siphoning. of the people out of the
farms is going on throughout the en-
tire country to such an extent that
thoughtful men everywhere see that
Il e time is come for vigorous effort to
save our rural life.
In the coming meeting the business
men will look into the causes of low
production and try to find out the
best means for bringing the farm ~
to its maximum productive power.
The farmers will take up the question
OF marketing, considering especially
the advantages offered by co-operativ ;
selling associations. With the modern
conveniences brought by increased in
come the country home will be more
attractive. But to hold people, coun-
try life must have all of the deeper
satisfactions that the city affords.
Therefore. the conference of school
workers and of country preachers at
Richmond will grapple with the prob
lem of making the rural school and
country church meet these deeper
needs

ARE THESE RUMORS TRUE!

Relative to the reported presence
here of numerous violatOrs Of the
prohibition law, one might ask if the
reports have foundation in truth. Isl
it a case of blind tigers" or blind
police? 1t is being asked why it is
with the numerous reports of blind
tigers here that there are but few
reports of arrests made? Whose fault
is it? Is it in reality a case of
blind tigers" or of blind police?"
Violations of the law are always
matters of grave concern to all law
abiding citizens. Laws are made to
be enforced and to bring to the muni-
cipality and the commonwealth the
order, decency and self respect that
only enforcement of the law can give.
Laws are not made to be violated or
to be trampled under foot, with the
consequent disrespect for the con-
stituted order of things that disregard
of the law is sure to bring.
There are specific duties prescribed
for the police of a city They are Of,
ficers upon whom devolves the en-
forcement of the law. They are SUP
posed to keep their eyes open and to
enforce the law as impartially and
as thoroughly as possible. The police
of Americas are good men and men Of
good intentions, but are they alert9
Are they performing their duties care
fully?
In the diligence of the police lies
the solution of the question of blind
tigers" in Americas, as we'll as Of
other evils that are recognized as
threatening the good name of the
city. Enforcement of the law is the
solution The officers of the law
should uphold the law. Let the police
of Americas be alert, and violations
of the law will be checked
The Times Recorder does not bring
this as charge against the police or
any one of them, but directs attention
to the fact that such rumors are cur
rent Let Americas have such good
order and enforcement of the law that
there can be no ground for such re.

GEORGIA WILL HAVE A
LARGE REPRESENTATION
At The Inaugural Exercises
in Washington

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 21.-No state will
have bigger representation, personal
and official, at the presidential inaug-
uration March 4th, than will Geor-
gia. Woodrow Wilson is justly claim
ed as former Georgian, and interest
in him and in his administration nat
urally takes personal trend from that
cause.
To begin with, Georgia will be very
largely represented in the military fea-
ture of the inaugural parade. Not on
ly may Augusta, Macon, Savannah
and other cities send troops of he
Georgia National Guard, but the 17th
United States regulars from Fort Nc
Pherson, Atlanta, will also march in
the parade.
Col Walter Andrews, Senator W. J.
Harris, Jas. R. Gray and other prom,
inent Georgians, who took active part
in the Wilson campaign, are all plan
ming to be in attendance on the in
auguration, if possible. and personal
plans will permit Governor-elect Jno
M. Slaton may also be in Washington
at the time.
In addition hundreds and thousands
of individual Georgians, young and old
are making plans to take a trip 70
Washington at this time for the sake
of the wonderful sights incidental to
the inauguration.
Georgia suffragettes will also be
there in large numbers. They are plan,
ming to bear an immense yellow flag,
symbolical of woman's rights in Geor-
gia, in the pre-inauguration parade on
March 3rd, and many prominent wo-
men from Atlanta and other Georgia
towns and cities will march in that
pageant.

CORNFORTH'S RACE
SCHOOL BILL KILLED

Senator Cornforth's bill for SUBJ
mitting a constitutional amend
ment for separate schools for white
and colored children was killed by
the senate in committee of the
whole Wednesday morning, and
during the discussion Senator
Cornforth declared.
Nine tenths of the colored men
who have been fighting this bill
have white wiyesI'
Later Senator Cornforth said
that he meant exactly what he said
and that he advocated the bill as a
protection for white children"
He said he would now protest
against a pending bill forbidding
the marriage of white and colored
people, as it was evident the DEM
ocratic majority wanted the white
and colored people as equals in
everything and therefore no bill
forbidding such marriages should
be passed.
Senator lies asked several ques-
tions and Senator Cornforth ex-
claimed:
"You seem a confounded sight
more interested in the Negro boy
than in the white girl! You can
kill the bill if you want to-"

HELPING TO SOLVE
A PROBLEM
CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE)

(CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE)
If there is any institution in the
country that should be confiden'
in On appeal to the American
| pocketbook it is Tuskegee ipsti
tute. For the American pocket
book has conscience, our cynica
moments to the contrary notwith'
standing, and there is no pocket
book in the world which opens sc
widely to generous impulse.
When we freed the slave we dic
not wipe out the debt we owed
him. We added to our obligation
to the Negro race while we liqui.
dated only a part of our debt
Something of that obligation is
being met in the support of Tus.
kegee, and that support SHOULD be
increased.
DR.. Washington says that the
operating expenses for the year
come to S27O,000, of which only
$11S,000 is now secure. He says
also that an endowment of So, ,000,-
900, in place of the present $4,000
600, is needed,
Tuskegee was founded in 1881
A distinguished student of social
conditions in America and Europe
Prof. w. [. Thomas, has said: 81
regard the Tuskegee institute as
the most considerable educational
invention of modern times
There can be no doubt of the i'm
perative need of its service toward
the solution of our tragic and omi-
nous race problem, nor of the val
ue of the work it has done during
the last thirty years. Since its
founding 5000 persons have re-
ceived instruction there and are
doing good work now, chiefly in
the South, where their services
are most required, as teachers,
farmers, and industrial workers.
The whole nation is concerned
in this service and owes it support.
DIR. Washington declares that ev-
en- dollar subscriptions will help.
Perhaps, with the return of wealth
and prosperity to the South after
many years of prostration, Tus-
kegee, as we'll as all practical and
well run educational institutions
for the Negro, will receive more
liberal aid from the region imme,
diately and most seriously con.
cerned. But the North also
should pay a share, as it has il
the past.
The Colorado statesman., 1913-03-08

Yet this apparently insignificant
fact was a great agency for the
common good, as it was the great
incentive to learn civil manners by
the colored folks, so that their
children's behavior be equal to
the white folks.
From whatever standpoint we
look at the enactment of such ID
heartless law, we fail to see who
will be the beneficiary.
| doubt whether the white chill
dren will rise to a higher level be-
cause of that-that the black will
suffer by it goes without saying.
Losing the white playmate and
the incentive to be its equal, the
pickaninny will drift again to the
type of Topsy, and the problem
ultimately be the white mans bur-
den.
Much of the great and glorious
work that we accomplished since
the Civil war will go to naught by
the passage of our senator's bill.
1t is unamerican and contrary
to the spirit of the age.

Fair Columbia sweeps on the

forth. Our martyred Abraham
Lincoln and John Brown are
hanged up in effigy by those gen

other day, a bill in the senate
chamber which tends to segregate
the colored children from the white
in our public schools; for the harm
done by the passage of such a law
is manifold. 1t will not only rem
der portion of our population to
lag behind our standard of educa-
ton which must inevitably result
in an increased criminal class in
our midst, but blow is thereby
aimed at our democratic institu-
tions.
Inasmuch as society, as whole,
is the sufferer of the misdeeds of
any of the least of its citizens, it is
also to a great extent responsible
for the shortcomings of the culprit.
This world has been slow to re-
oognize, that widespread education
is the mainstay of Republican form
of government, but lastly we have
learned this lesson by the imprint
of blood on our minds-that the
welfare of one should be the con.
cern of all.
And now by attempting to se-
gregate the colored children from
the white, we may look with appre-
hension to the wellbeing of So
