SILLY IDEA IS WoRLD-W IDE
All Nations Alike In the Peculiar FOOT
cry Of the First Day Of
April.

"All Fools day" with its practices
Of sending the unwary upon foolish
errands or surprising them into the
doing of more or less ridiculous
things, is often said to be sprung
from what was once a happening far
indeed from the trivial-the send
ing hither and thither of the Saviour,
from Annas to Caiaphas, from Gaia
phas to Plate, from Plate to Herod.
This tradition is, perhaps, begotten
of the fact that, during the middle
ages, this cene in Jesus life was
usually made the subject of a mir
acle play in the Easter season. The
day, however, is more probably the
relic Of some wholly heather festival,
for the traveller in British India will
tell Of the modern Hindus playing
tricks entirely similar to our April
fool iests on March 81, when they
hold each year the Festival of Hull.
The best explanation of all is that
the custom has descended to us from
the old Roman new years rites, for,
till the calendar was reformed by
Julius Caesar, the initial day of the
civil year throughout the empire
which knew "the grandeur that was
Rome" was March 25, and April /,
being its octave, witnessed the often
boisterous elimination Of its festivi-
ties.
Whatever its origin, trick playing
on the opening day of the fourth |
month is general throughout Eu- :
rope. In England the victim is
dubbed, as here, on April fool; in
he is a ''fsh," and Scotland
'alls him "gowk." 1t is a f~avorite
to send some person on a boot
ess mission, to persuade him to
make some impossible appointment,

if such a yield is beyond oui
needs, the acreage devoted tC
ccrn can be greatly reduced
and the land devoted to other
needed crops.
There are untold billions of
dollars which can be added to
TIE wealth of the nation by in
creasing the ccrn production
No other line Of activity offers
such opportunities.
The hope Of the Department
and of the country is in the boys.
They, more quickly than men,
grasp the scientific principles I'M
oerlying the successful breeding
orn for greater crops. Youth
jul enthusiasm guarantees that
he principles once learned will
be applied to actual corn pro
duction with conscientiousness
and perseverance.
Consequently we see the great
and growing organizations of
b Iys' corn clubs, promoted by
schools, states, Independent or
CARNATIONS and the national De-
partment of Agriculture. Each
year the champion boy corn
growers of each state are given a
free trip to Washington, where
meet the President and re-
diplomas from the Secre-
Of Agriculture.
The work of getting boys in
crested in championship corn
contests has advanced to a point I
where the Department is now
.howirg its hand-how it intends
o utilize this organization of
'oys in the future. A bulletin
las just been issued on the sub
ect, and one sentence in the
ulletin might have been writ
en- in this form: :
WANTED: A boy in every
orn-growing country of the
'nited States, who can prove his

cars of superior work in the

In other words, it is the in J.

Go where you please in the south
and you will see the negro engaged
in all branches of business and in
dies thousands of dollars and easy
work, the negro is a business non
entity, with but a few exceptions.
The only business in this city in
which the negro is engaged and in
which he is a success is the drug
and saloon business. There are few
dining rooms where the negro is
also a success. The Bee has been
the only successful newspaper that
has been able to exist among the ne
groes.t There have been all kinds of
newspapers and editors in this city,
from a weekly to "tri weakly" from
daily to a monthly, but they have
failed. There are over 10000 colored
people in this city, three-tenths of
whom never read a newspaper, and
those who do read seem to cater to
the people that abuse them.
The southern negro is a thrifty and
successful individual. He knows how
to run a bank and do other things
In this city the negro should
be an independent commercial
factor. We now need a first class
business school There is now great
need for young men and women who
understand how to conduct a business
and how to keep books.
We need good typewriters and
Stenographers. These are not thor
oughly taught in our schools. Our
business high school is not what it
should be. Everybody cannot teach,
hence business education should be
taught our children. We favor the
trade school. because they will pre-
pare our boys and girls for future
usefulness.
The young negro in the south is
fast surprising the northern negro
The northern negro is too proud to
work He doesn't want to soil his
hands or make them hard.
We need more trade schools south
Higher education is great factor,
but trade schools will be greater
factor to the negro.-The Washington

How many young men in your COM
munity can you depend upon to take
the places of the men who are man
aging the affairs Of the church and
the school and the state when these
older men have passed away? The
nation must have men Of character
and ability to rule in it's affairs. Can
we point to the boys and young men
about us and say they will meet the
requirements Torchlight.
Let us hope SO any how, in spite
to point the other way Many years
ago there were half dozen or more
boys in every community when peo-
pie would point to with the prediction
that they would make their mark in
life. And these youngsters would con-
stantly talk about what they were go
ing to do-they worked to that end.
Their zeal seemed to be in inverse
proportion to their opportunities.
Young men of today discuss parties,
receptions, base ball, foot ball, peg
legs, swell times, etc. However, it
may be that the coming men who will
meet every test and lead the advance
in any and all directions are now in
obscurity-making hay and laying it
up against the day when they will re-
ceive the summons. Progress of all
the past has been conditioned upon
this fact: Whenever an emergency
has arisen, calling for a man. destiny

coLoRED MEN IN ASSOCIATION.

Colored business men met at the
Baker hotel, 1912 Wabash avenue, to
organize permanent business asso-
citation. More than 100 merchants,
representing many businesses and pro
fessions, attended the meeting. The
object of the association will be to
encourage closer relation among
the colored people and to give employ
ment to the more intelligent and
thrifty members of the race.
Among those who delivered ad-
dresses at a banquet which followed
the meeting were M. T. Bailey, mana
ger of the Milton Mercantile agency;

matter is no nearer a settlement than

property of the city. However. the

Sam Daxon refuses TO move the

section be cut off the roof. This
Daxon refuses to do. Unless a settle

is likely that the city will destroy the
