The trouble has arisen owing to the
possession Of fixed ideas by Father
Ambrosio, who is the head Of the
monastery. His ideas do not stop at
the ordinary fulillment OF the monks
obligations to be devout, chaste and
temperate.
He has the impression that devo-
tons are the best substitute for daily
bread, and so the worthy father
heightened prayers and shortened ra-
tons.
In the intervals between the devo-
tons and the ever-decreasing meals

a for a minimum wage?
Recognition Of Ability.

i repeat that every department man.
ager is more than anxious at all times
to recognize ability, and any employee
possessing it is bound to dvanc in
the department store of today. Every
department store manager has the
same complaint about help. He cam
not find a sufficient number of honest.
efficient and capable people to fill the
responsible positions.
Were 1 to write on The welfare work
or department stores l could I'LL VOL
umes on the many improvements in
the conditions of employees, instituted
at the expense Of the employer and
for the sole benefit of the employees.
But that is beside the question. 1t
should, however. be taken into con-
sideration by those under the impress
sion h a the sole idea of the depart
ment store managers is to get the
most out Of their employees and pay
them the least.
The minimu wage will cause a few
to get higher wages than now. but will
surely displace the less competent
ones.
Schools Can Help.
Will courses of instruction in the
public schools solve the problem? They
Will help, and should be adopted for
the benefit of that vast army from

made, but born.
Witness those at the heads of de-
partments today. Who are they but

do trade schools of today teach but by
forcing h pupil to take up the prac-
teal, as we'll as the theoretical, part
OF the trade he is learning? In fact,
the department store offers the best

Would any manager forbid a sales
clerk to inquire OF the head of stock
else concerning any article in her
stock? Such a manager would at once
be working against his own interest.
All department store anager are ca

salary accordingly.
Remedy 10 Needed,
Why, then. all this agitation at this
time. the position of the depart
ment store is not the most
enviable? Instead. I think. some one
should come forward and offer a rem
edy acceptable to employees, employer
and the buying public, which will have
a tendency toward checking the ever
increasing cost of doing business and
it's natural result Of increasing the cost
of living. Such a person would be
hailed as a public benefactor.

AGAINST EQUALITY TREATMENT FOR
NEGROES GROWING FAST

citation of white women with Ne.
groes has become SO obnoxious
that the proprietors of London
saloons have been compelled by
their white customers to bar Ne
groes.
This has been greatly due to
American visitors. In one we'll
known saloon which is much fire.
quented by American vaudeville
artists the proprietor was forced to
bar Negroes because the American
customers refused to remain in the
same room with the Negroes
There are now only two places in
the Soho district which remain
havens of refuge for the Negro.
Ore is saloon on side street
and the other on a broad, brightly
lighted thoroughfare near the Pal
ace Music hall, where a flag was
recently flown which stated. that
artists of all colors and climes were
welcome. The windows were also
ornamented with the same notices.
Some 30 or 40 Negroes are there
at any hour, and all the women are
white. A Negress is never seen in
the place,
The new white slave act, which
frightened SO many men of British
and Continental nationalities out
of the country, has also during the
last week or two affected the Lon
don Negro of this type. The law
falls with the greatest severity
upon white SLAYER who cannot
prove that he is in regular and
enumerative work.
The enormous craze for rag.
time, which today hold London
from the highest to the lowest
ranks of society, has enabled many
Negroes to obtain the necessary
work, as most of them can sing
ragtime and just at present rag
time, good or bad, goes with the
English public.
The law also has had the effect
of inducing several Negro prize
fighters, who practically had aban-
doned the ring, whether in infer
ior boxing clubs or in minor music
halls, to look for bouts instead of
living as blacks of wealth.

frequently protested against the
stationing of the 25th Infantry at

have not been confined to South

the 25th Infantry, or any of the
other colored regiments, would re.
ceive better treatment in the Dis.

AN ATTACK ON
NEGRO TROOPS
(From Detroit Free Press. J

(From Detroit Free Press.)
1t is announced that when the
ranking officers of the army meet
in Washington on January s, a
proposal is to be made that the Ne
gro be eliminated as an American
soldier. Such movement is with
ouf warrant, dangerous and inc
qunable. 1t is in opposition to
the spirit, if not the letter, of that
clause of the federal constitution
which declares that "a well regu-
lated militia being necessary to the
security of free State, the right
of the people to keep and bear
arms shall not be infringed." The
Negroes are a part of the people,
No reasons worthy of serious
consideration have been advanced
why the colored regiments should
be discontinued. We are told that
the Filipinos resent the appear
ance of the black troopers, and
that there are signs of dissatisfac-
ton in Hawaii because the Twenty
fifth infantry has been sent to the
island to form a permanent garri-
son. Well, it is not unnatural that
the Filipinos should dislike the
colored troops. In the days of the
instructions they had some very
unpleasant passages at arms with
them. Among army officers there
was no question about the elimi-
nation of the colored soldier in
those days while the memory of
San Juan Hill was fresh.
Regular troops are not NAM
tanned and paid to attend pink tea
functions or to delight the artistic
sensibilities of local citizenship.
They are for war, and it ought to
matter very little whether or not
they are liked by the reformed
Moros of the Philippines or the
unnaturalized Japanese of the
Hawaiian islands or a few gold
laced officers, who possibly are
Jealous of their records. At least
it ought not to matter 80 long as
they are brave and trustworthy,
and it is significant that the Of
ficers who come in direct contact
with the colored troops are the
ones who are now rushing to their
defense.
1t is fact, also, whether some
people like itour not, that the Ne
gro as a citizen has a moral right
to fight and die for his county if he
wishes t. do so. 1t is a question
whether he does not gain in man
liness and steadiness and self-re-
spect by being placed in a position
peculiarly suited to bring out the
best qualities of his somewhat
primitive nature. There are some

student body under the immediate
direction of Madame E. Azalia
Hackley.
The spacious auditorium where
Mamam Hackley was greeted by
an intensely appreciative audience
composed of the most representa-
tive white and colored people who
expressed themselves repeatedly
by round after round of enthusi-
astic applause, the more than three
hundred girls with their beautiful
white waists and dark skirts, the
five hundred boys i'll their well-it-
ting blue uniforms and soldierly
bearing, with flags, bunting and
footlight decoration of palms and
ferns made a most beautiful and
picturesque scene.
At the end of part two Madame
Hackley was the recipient of many
handsome bouquets. These bou-

tiful pink and white roses. At

an attractive card which bore the
inscription: ITO Madame E.
Azalia Hackley, in token of our
appreciation, from the Hampton
Boys"
Dr. Frissell, principal of Hamp-
ton Institute, in behalf of the fac
ulty, teachers, officers and students
thanked Madam Hackley for the
inspiration and help she has given
to the musical department of the
school. He further assured her
that she would always be a well
come guest at Hampton whenever
she wished to come.
The conductor, Madame Hack
ley, aside from being very well
known as the possessor of most
charming soprano voice, has spent
some time abroad in studying diff
ferent phases of her subject. She
is also the author of several ex-
cellent booklets pertaining to mus
ic and voice culture.
This is condeded to be the larg-
est chorus of trained Negro voices
that ever gave a similar perfor-
nance. After about two weeks
training of a chorus of nearly a
thousand voices composed of
Hampton students the following
program with Madam Hackley con-
Quoting was very effectively and
successfully given.
Time and space will not permit
us to comment on each sele ction
but one listening to the female
chorus of more than three hun
dred voices as they sang in uni
son, "Dost thou Know That Sweet
Land" by A. Thomas, could not
help but be tremendously thrilled
by the sweet mellow tones of the
girls and the beautiful way in
which they rendered Thomas Sc
lection.

London has long been noted fol

no doubt that it is now developing
a color prejudice. For years En-
