More than 5000 persons crowded
tne Tweifth Regiment armory at New
fork some few nights ago, where the
emancipation celebration is being
held. The meeting was the occasion
OF the lawyers congress, held under
the auspices Of the emancipation
committee. On the stage were seated
colored attorneys of New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware,
together with others prominent in
business and professional life.
The speakers of the evening were
Edward H. Morris OF Chicago, s. o.
T. Watkins Of Chicago and City Coun-
Gilman Harry 8. Cummings of Balti-
more.
The congress was presided over by
James d. Carr. a colored attorney of
this city, who has for ten years been
connected with the corporation coun-
sells Office. Carr is a Baltimorean by
birth. Councilman Cummings said in
part:
Coming as do from dear old Mary
land, the birthplace of so many dis
tinguished representatives of our race.
the birthplace of our matchless lead
er, Frederick Douglass. of Henry
Highland Garnet, who labored SO long
and successfully in this city; of Ben
jamin Benneker, Of Bishops Handy
and Wayman. Of Frances Ellen Har-
per, that sanity woman of our race,
and many others, I am proud to have
the honor of participating in those
IL 80
years of achievements of our race,
and proud to know that 30 many men
and women who first saw the light of
day on Maryland soil helped largely
to bring these great things to pass.
Il am asked to speak to you on
"The Signs of the Times" No words
of mine can speak more powerfully or
convincingly of the progress of our
race during the past half century than
can the cold statistical figures. 1t is
not for us to say that we have reduced
our illiteracy unless we can prove It.
I'VE will rightfully fail to prove
that we have made remarkable steps
from poverty by mere words. Bank
accounts and property of various kinds
speak louder than words. Happily
we have in the last 80 years demon
strated our capacity to succeed as 9TH
er races and people have and along the
same lines, and the fact that we have
shown capacity Is a most hopeful
sign. But with all that we have done,
marvellous though it has been; with
the glorious record of the past. en-
couraging as 1t is to us all-well
might we pause and ask the watchman
on the wall, What Of the night?'
What are the signs of promise? To
me the prospect is bright"

account of themselves" as they we're
given opportunities greater than those
enjoyed by colored children anywhere
else, he said. He assured the teachers
that the policy of the board in afford
ing equal facilities for white and col
orded children would be continued.
Captain Oyster spoke of his "contin-
uing interest" in the schools, and re-
minded the teachers and officials that
they would always find him ever ready
to serve them.
Mr.. Bruce explained that the Uni
versity of Chicago has allowed an ad-
vanced standing to graduates of Nor
NAL School No. 2, and added that the
officials Of Howard university had a
similar plan under consideration.
With these additional opportunities
Mr.. Bruce said he hoped more teach
ers would take the opportunity of fur
thering their education.
Mrs. Harris emphasized the need OF
teachers exemplyfying in themselves
the things which they taught. She
said they should always strive to set
a good example.
DR.. Marshall complimented the
teachers on the progress which. he
says, has been made in the colored
schools, and spoke of the spirit of Co
operation existing.
DR.. Childs emphasized the need for
proper discipline and respect for au
thority. He also discussed the voca
tional schools and the department OF
business practice in the colored
schools.

the board, we're speakers.
DR.. Davidson said that in the fun

educators were agreed and that their
differences were only in the applica-
tion of the details. He declared that
no esprit de corps" existed which
was quite so fine as that among teach
ers. This, he said. was due to the re-

DEMONSTRATION FARM REPORT.

The State College at Pullman, Wash
ington, has just issued report of the
work of Mr.. H. w. Sparks, Supervisor
of Demonstration Farms, for the year
1912.
This report gives in detail the
methods pursued and the results OBJ
tanned in three distinct lines of CO.
operative demonstration work over
which Mr.. Sparks had supervision
during the year, namely, cooperation
with individual farmers in farm man
agement; cooperation with county
fair associations in variety tests of
crops of local interest, soil manage
ment, crop growing fertilizer tests,
uniform plots for schools In school
garden work; and cooperation with
high schools in school garden work.
The report shows very satisfactory
progI ess in the introduction of corn,
alfalfa, oats and peas, and oats an
vetch, as forage crops in Western
Washington, and of cooperative
garden and fertilizer tests in many
localities.
A copy of the report may be obtain

ARE THE RAILROADS TO BLAME?

HI. u. Nudge, president Rock
Island Lines, discusses high cost of
living for associated farm papers.
Chicago, Ill, Feb. o. "Railroads
welcome an investigation Of the high
cost Of living" declared II. U. Nudge,
president of the Chicago Rock Island
&EPacitic Railway Lines, Saturday.
eve know that however high may
be the prices of retail products, any
charge that we participate in the
spoils cannot be laid at our doors, be-
cause freight rates are lower than ever
before. Indeed, we are as much in
terested as the producer and the con-
sumner in finding who must shoulder
the blame.
Recently, Mr.. German, one of the
vice-presidents of our Lines walked
into a store and paid 40 cents pound
for California cherries. He was as
founded at the price and asked the
store keeper why it was that he had
to pay so much for the cherries when
the same fruit sold in California at
five cents a poundY The answer was,
on account of high freight rates.
Mr.. Gordon then called the store
keepers attention to the fact that the
freight rate on cherries from Cali
fornia here was only one and one
fourth cents per pound. He then
wanted to know who got the differ
enceY The question still remains un-
answered; yet it is a question we
would like to have answered, because
exorbitant retail prices tend to re-
strict consumption and low prices to
producers prevent the development of
farming Industries. In either case
the railroads lose the haul.
~ am heartily in sympathy with
the call that the Associated Farm
Papers have made for the First Ma
tional Conference on marketing and
farm credits to meet in Chicago in
April. | believe this conference will

do an immense amount of good.
None realize more keenly than we
railroad officials, who come in contact
with it every day of our lives the
need of farmers getting better bust
ness methods into the selling of their
products.
eve need a medium of getting
sellers and consumers nearer together.
Many kinds of products fail to reach
the market because the producers lack
the necessary information about
markets. Our lines have for some
time been carrying on a campaign of
education to this end. But our
efforts and the efforts of others rail
road systems and the efforts of other
agencies have necessarily been hap
hazard and can never attain the
effective standard that will be reached
by the campaign which will result
from this conference. AS an instance
of this, our agriculture commissioner,
Mr.. Fl. M. Cottrell, while working in
Arkansas, found that many of the soils
in that state are ideal for the produc-
ton of sweet potatoes; but he also
discovered that farmers prices for
this product we're too low-so low, in
fact, as to prohibit any extensive
acreage. He also knew that Colorado
offered strong demands for these
sweet potatoes. Through his personal
endeavors, he put the Arkansas potato
growers and the Colorado buyers in
touch with each other. Since then,
there has been an extensive increase
in the planting Of sweet potatoes
throughout that state.
''It is clear to me, therefore, that
some institution as a bureau of mar
kets in the United States department
of agriculture, such as the promoters
of this Conference indicate is needed
should be an efficient power in bring
ing producers and consumers to-
gether, and in the forwarding Of

Why You SWING YOUR
ARMS While You Walk

IF you watch people walk YOU will note that
nearly all of them move their arms. II
~ they walk slowly the movement Of their
arms is scarcely perceptble; If they walk
rapidly their arms generally swing vigorously
Most people believe this swinging OF the
arms as they wilk is merely a natural sway
ing motion caused by the movement OF the
body, just the tassel of an umbrella will
swing when one is walking with 1t, but this
is by no means the reason. The swinging Of
the arms is natural enough, but the nature
OF 1t dates away back to those unknown days
when man was quadruped.
OF course when man was four-footed
animal he walked with his arms as we'll as
his legs, and even to-day, after the thousands
upon thousands OF generations that have
