A Notable Omission.

On the coffin of John Pierpont Nor
gan were laid floral tributes from foul
nations Germany, England, France ant
| Italy-but none from the United State:
government, the government of the state
of New York or that of the city Of
New York.
Among the mourners were representa-
tives of twenty religious, financial, man
ufacturing, educational, art, scientific
sporting and social organizations, but
not one representative of any political
institution. Senator Root was there, OF
course. but as friend only.
Could such a thing happen in Europe
Could it have happened in the United
States ten years ago?
Mr.. Morgan was completely separat-
ed from the political world about him
He could not have been elected to any

Cleveland to save the country from a
more frightful panic, and later when he
demonstrated to Mr.. Roosevelt how a
great financial crash might be averted
he was still politically persona non
grata to the overwhelming majority of
his eountrymen.

The league baseball season has been
worrying along with oyercoat and ga
Ioshes on for week; and there really
has been no baseball to speak of. The
magnates ought to curb their avarici-
business and start the season when the
weather is suitable for both players and
spectators. One of the leading players
of the Philadelphia American league
team, Coombs, formerly of the Barre
Montpelier team of the old Northern
league, is i'll and threatened with pneu-
mona because of exposure during re-
cent game in frigid Boston; and doubt
less there are other cases of illness
among the participants because of the
propensity to begin the league season
before winter really has left the air
and the ground, while the ailments
among the spectators probably mount
high. The loss of week or two of
such playing as we have had this sea-
son would not hurt the Golfers of the va
rious clubs to great extent, either, be-
cause at least one-half of the games
have been postponed because of unfit
weather. Another year the schedules
ought to be set further down in the cal
endar.

THE ADVANCE OF THE cOLoRED MAN

The new year finds no American citizen whose
advance can fairly be called sound and in
substance than the colored man. The progress has
become so marked as to win the recognition of all
sections. And its record is written nowhere more
clearly than in the returns of the United States
sus This is not in totals of citizens, but of homes,
property, business interests agricultural holdings and
manufactures in the hands of people of this race.
1t has come about with certainty so soon the
colored man was led to give up the idea that alone
through political prominence could he rise to posi-
ton and weight. AS Dr. Booker Washington puts it
in his analysis of the accomplishments of his people
since the end of the war:
They have been learning distinguish between the
mere shadow of civilization and the progress and i'll
fuential things of civilization and progress.
In securing education in growth in the possession
of property, and in moral and religious directions
well in establishing rational relations between the
two races the negro people have made genuine be-
lieve enduring-progress.
To Booker Washington belongs the honor of hav-
ing given the coored the inspiration of the idea
on which they nave made this long stride forward
He proved himself possessor of the unwearying pa
tence to teach it and the courage TO face the abuse
and assault which his efforts met from easy-going
idlers and political Adventures The outcome is fine
demonstration of his wisdom as leader

INERTIA IN POLITICS.

All political organizations have one instinct in
common with the Turk; they cling to the status quo
If their policies pledge them to change they want
that change in their way and in their own time
They evolve their rules of regularity" almost
at their inception and it is their nature to frown
upon any departure from those rules. Their "doxy'
becomes orthodoxy ard any other "doxy" is hetero-
doxy. To them the individual protestant is always
backslder they find it hard to conceive of him as
scout forging ahead after trails.
In the organization of business scrap-heap
implements every day; in politics treasure our
possessions just as long as we can. We have de-
numanized business until it is scientific; in politics
try to think that the latest word is the last word.
And if isn't. Always, thought travels faster than
opinion; energy cvercomes inertiS BY that law only
are further ahead than ancestors; without it
we would decay in contentment. Most men, ;"
says Emerson build houses for their spirits and, in
time, those houses become PRISONS the few who
free must find their compensation in their free
dom.
