PERFORMING ON THE AVENUE
Among Famous Men, Chief Justice
White Is the Champion "Hiker"-
Other NotabIes.

Washington has a. Pedestrians
club" the members of which are
among the most famous men in the
land. 1t is that of the justices of the
Supreme court of the United States.
The chief "hiker" is Chief Justice
White. The privates in the walking
squad are Associate Justices Holmes,
Hughes, Lamar and occasionally JUS
tice McKenna.
These eminent jurists may be seen
almost any day the court sits. per
forming" on Pennsylvania avenue,
around five o'clock in the afternoon.
They walk from the capitol to the
treasury, a good mile, and there dis
band. Some enter their waiting car
riages. some the plebeian street car.
Their hike" is no promenade. They
take a brisk gait, considering their
years, and engage in earnest and often
agitated conversation. Usually they
are SO engrossed in their discussion
that they unwittingly pass by ac,
quaintances and friends without see
ing them.
Tradition has it that Chief Justice
John Marshall was the founder Of the
club. In the traditions of the club
Mr. Justice Story is also credited with
having been an ardent "hiker." So
were Justices Ellsworth, Miller, Field
Tenny, Chase and Harlan. Chief JUS
tice White was a pupil of the latter
in the art of hiking"

greatest publisher on earth.
There seems to be some basis for
Mr.. Donath's contention. The new
centralized mailing office is now send
ing out something like 100000 copies
of publications per week 1t is true
that certain, indeed numerous, private
publishing houses in this country

diversity of the million documents go

Uncle Sam stands at the head of the

or two or three publications making
up this circulation, how quickly Mr.,
Donath's present problems would
smooth themselves out! But this mil
lion is made up of somewhat over a
thousand publications, which issue
from the presses daily, weekly,
monthly, annually or at uncertain in
tervals.
Over thousand separate mailing
lists must be kept in the fileroom for
the purpose. There are acres of bins
and shelves containing the back num-
Der files. on which there is a steady
demand. The entire government in
all its branches is blocked out in this

Uncle Sam, from his fifteen-million-

operation among Negroes along com

ing race enterprises is being talked
everywhere. And just here it is well
to caution the Negro in business
against the fallacy of trying to do
business solely on his color In order
to get a share of even the Negroes

those methods-often inexpensive
which spell success for other business

White principals and teachers have
been in control of the public schools
of Charleston, S. c., since these schools
were first established. The introduc-

justice of white teachers continuing
in their schools to the exclusion of
prepared negroes, whereas formerly
they felt fattered by having them. 1t

negroes, delivered characteristic
address in the chapel of the school
to nearly 1,6O0 students, 200 teachers
and several hundred colored citizens
from the town of Tuskegee and the

characteristic of the practical and
helpful discourses DIR. Washington de-
livers Sunday evenings to the school.
Washington's address emphasized
two principles as applied to the negro:
the value of organization and the ne
cessity of obedience and discipline
Summing up his arguments and stress
ing the need for respect of authority,
he said: "One of the fine results,
satisfactory results. following the
mastery of that lesson is that in any
organization, school or what not,
where people have learned that great
fundamental lesson of respect for au-
thority, obedience to commands. there
you will find order, there you will find
peace. there you will find absence OF
friction, there you will find success.
Now. let me repeat that one of the
differences between ignorance and in
telligence, between crudeness and cul-
ture. consists in the fact that an indi-
vidual has learned obedience, respect
for authority and the other has not
learned it. and don't make the mistake
that so many people make, often edu

it, and Finances of the Negro Public
School" were the two principal topics
of discussion at the twenty-second an.
nual negro farmers conference held
at the Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee
Ala.
The first days conference was given
over to the negro farmers. AS stated
in the program, the subject for discus
sion was How to Secure Cheaper
Money for Running the Farm" This
put the problem of agricultural credit
in terms that the negro farmer un-
derstood, and was interested in. Rep
resentatiYe negro farmers from Geor-
gia, Alabama. Mississippi, Louisiana
and Arkansas described the present
condition of the negro farmer in the
states from which they come and the
present methods of obtaining loans,
rates of interest and SO forth. Indi-
vidual farmers told how they have sue
ceeded in reducing the principal and
rates of interest upon their yearly
loans
X. l.. Smith of Waco, Tex, who is
the head of negro farmers co-opera-
tive association in that state, which
has established a bank, discussed the
subject of cooperative credit and the
success of the Texas farmers in cut
ting down the item of interest in the
farmers annual budget.
Charles Banks, cashier of the Bank
of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, which
supplies a large share of the funds
necessary to conduct the agricultural
operations Of the farming communi-
ty in which the little negro town of
Mound Bayou is the center, discussed
the question from the point of view of
the man who makes the loans.
One of the features of the day S
proceedings was the exhibits showing
some of the results of the demonstra-
ton farming work being done in the
several counties adjoining Tuskegee
Institute where the demonstration
method of teaching farmers has
been in operation. The report of the
demonstration agents was followed by
distribution of prizes to the corn
clubs organized and conducted in these
counties.
The second days session of the
conference was the meeting of
teachers, principals. school trustees
and others actively interested in school
work. The subject for discussion was
How to Secure More Money for the
Public Schools" Teachers and prin-
cipals of schools in Mississippi, Ten
nessee, Alabama and Georgia de-
scribed the present condition of the
schools in their home communities
and the various means employed by
the county school teachers to secure
the interest of white planters, county
school superintendent. and others, in
meeting the needs of the negro
schools. They will also report upon
the extent to which the negro farmers
are taxing themselves in order to inn
prove the school building and length
en- the school term in different local
communities.

In the ten Years from 1899 to 1908 it
was 1G.1 bushels. During all this Pc
Rod the progress of knowledge and
skill in the cultivation Of their fields
enabled the farmers Of your state to
add only % bushels per acre to their
wheat yield. During this same period
the wheat crop Of Germany rose from
seventeen bushels to thirty bushels an
acre, gain OF thirteen bushels an
acre. The Increase secured by the
German farmers is equal to nearly sew
en-eighths Of the total average yield in
Wisconsin.
I'm the decade ending with 1878 the
farmers OF Wisconsin harvested an
average Of 34.3 bushels of oats to the
acre. In the decade 1S99-l90 they
harvested 1874. The progress of the
art OF agriculture in dealing with tie
Wisconsin oat crop had resulted in a
loss OF practically one buShel to the
acre in period OF thirty years. At
the same time the yield per acre of
oats in Germany increased from 81
bushels to 80 bushels per acre Start
ing with an average Of two bushels
less to the acre. the German oat grow
efs have advanced to a position where
they are obtaining over - bushels
more to the acre than are the farmers
Of Wisconsin.
while the yield OF barley has gone
from % to 30 bushels an acre in Ger
many during the past three decades, 1t
has advanced only % bushels in Wis
cOnsin. Germany's rye crop gave an
average yield of barely II bushels an
acre in 1879 and at the end OF thirty
years was producing over 90 bushels
to the acre. In that same period the
rye crop OF Wisconsin had improved
less than TX bushels to the acre.
"WiScOnSin grows many potatoes.
but her farmers today are able to coax
from an acre OF land only five bushels
more than they did thirty, years ago.
On the other hand. the German potato
yield has more than doubled and now
stands at upward OF 200 bushels to the
acre.
"In the case of corn it is not possible
to make a comparison with Germany,
as corn is not staple crop of that
country. 1t is noteworthy. however,
that WisconSin's cornfields. which pro

Nonsense

1t is gratifying to hear less and
less of the talk that big crops do
not bring more than small ones; graf
flying, first, because it is not true,
and, second, because i'll any event
it is against the interest Of the pub
lie. 1t is true that occasionally the
larger crop does not bring more
than the smaller one, but that is
only occasionally The rule is the
other way.
But the figures are made to COW
er the crops of the whole country,
marketed in a different form from
that of most Of the crops of the
country. The price of wheat has lit
tie to do with the returns from Wis
consin butter, and the price of corn
for a single season cannot affect the
price of Wisconsin beef and pork
at least not materially Our hay and
oats are fed, and if barley is low at
the mailing works it is a good feed.
Why, then, should we hear so much
about big crops bringing small prices?
Again, at best, but a portion of the
farmers will imbibe the big crop doe
trine sufficiently to materially affect
the general acreage of the state, to
say nothing of the nation Or the
the fact is that the far
