A. Walton, dramatic and managing
editor Of the New York Age, Nell
Vile E. Stone PRESIDENT of the AS
ISOLATED Press, has recommended that
in future the nations greatest pur-
veyor of news should use a capita
IN" in spelling the word Negro" A
short time ago the New York Eve
ming Post, the New York Evening
Mail and the Outlook adopted the
capital IN" and now it is likely that
the use Of the capital will become
general throughout the service of the

where should accord him the recog-
milton he so eminently deserves for
