Our Young People.

A visit to the uptown districts
most any hour, day or night, will con-
vince any one of the crying need of
a tightening of the reins on our young
people. 1t is enough to chill the
heart within you to see u boys and
girls of tender years roaming the
streets late hours of the night and
standing on the street n in the
day flirting with boys, and too often,
yes entirely too often, some mar of
mature years is the companion of a
girl of tender years.
Mothers and fathers of Nashville,
it is a duty that Righteousness de-
mands of you to see that your chill
dren keep in the path of rectitude.
No society nor agency of any kind
can do what mother and father can
do. Such organizations are commend
able, but how can they have a moth
er's love or a mothers interest? The
mother, supported by the father, must
real the children. All praise to every
organization that exists for the up
lift Of humanity, but these are all
merely auxiljaries in the training of
the child.
Parents of Nashville, take charge of
your children. Mothers, be the com
panions of your daughters and faith
ers, be the companions of your sons
They cannot take care of themselves,
and blessed will be your memory If
you throw your arm Of protection
around them. If you neglect to do
so they will curse the day they were
born, and you they will despise.

SUNDAY-ScHooL WORKERS
HAVE NEW SLOGAN.


Every Member of Every Family
in the Sunday-school" is the new slo-
gan adopted by the Sunday-school
workers of the city of Nashville. This
was brought about from the results Of
the magnificent address delivered by
Miss Grace Eaton, of the Fireside
School, before the Sunday-School
Union at the Kayne Avenue Church,
Sunday afternoon, in which she de-
picted the all-important idea in de-
veloping the Home Department and
Cradle Roll in the Sunday-School Con-
gress; thus, according to her splendid
force of reasoning, carrying the Sun
day-school to the home and bringing
the home to the Sunday-school.
While it was regarded not a new issue,
the Sunday-school forces were pleased
to have it put in this light. The
unanimous acceptation of the pleas
ing address to such a large audience
was demonstrated by the adoption by
common consent, of the slogan.
Working in this department in the eff
fort to develop it among the Negro
Baptists of the United States, is Miss
Lorilla E. Bushnell, editor of Hope,
who for the past two years a,
Meridian and at Tuskegee, had de-
monstrated at the Sunday-School
Congress the possibility of this new
phase of the work. An address will
be delivered along this line at the Sun.
day-School Jubilee on May II, at the
Majestic Theatre, but Just who Is to
make the address was not announced
as the program committee will moi
meet until the fourth Sunday in April
at Mt. Olive Baptist Church.

Selfish Ambition.

There is nothing that works great
er harm to the people than the self
ish ambitions of individuals. True
every man is responsible for his acts,
but at the same time there are infiu-
entail individuals who are puffed up
with selfshness. They care not what
becomes of the people so long as
their selfish ambitions can be salts
fed. Some people have confidence in
them and are often led to do the very
things they would not do.
These selfish fellows are always
bobbing up, prOclaiming their own
praises in order to have the people
believe they are making great sacri
fees for them, when in fact they are
only playing for favor.
Nashville is not free Of these am.
bilious, selfish creatures, and the soon
er the people find them out the better
it will be for all. They are goats il
lambs skins, blu the stencil is no
taken away, and as sure as time LAST
their sins will find them out.

EVERYTHING LOVELY
 IN CITY OF MEXICO

Everything is lovely in the City of Mexico. according to advices received yesterday by the Review from the Mexican consul at Naeo, Arizona. He declares that stories telling of rupti0n between President Hnerta and Col. Diaz have no truthful foundation; be also ventures to asser. that in Mexico City there is no disturbances Of any kind. The following letter to the Re view shows the state of mind n which these declared false reports have left Consul Sierra:
 Consulado en Naeo, Ariz March 3l. Editor Bisbee Daily Review: Some newspapers have recently published news reporting the alleged political differences they pretend exist be- tween the provisional president Of Mexico and General Felix Diaz; as well as the purpOrted news of alleged disturbances in Mexico City.
 As all of these news are utterly false and basely lacking of all truth, beg of you to be kind enough as 10 publish this letter in your valuable paper as an emphatic denial of such grOundless tales.
 Trusting to be favored with your courtesy. anticipate my appreciation and remain,
