There is certainly one thing which
the negro has done since his emanci-
patton gave him the opportunity. He
has proved himself brave. capable
soldier. The military history of the
nation for the past half century bears
abundant witness to the fact.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, the former
chief of the army, gave excellent tes-
timony to this effect in his address at
the Lincoln birthday celebration at
Quinn chapel, Chicago, when he said:
Even in the Civil war the negro
proved that he was brave and worthy
TO be free man. When volunteers
were called to man vessels which were
destined to go down to sure destruc-
tion against the Confederate vessel
Merrimac, the terror of the seas, an
appeal for negro volunteers was made
and all who heard the call responded.
In the fever camps of the Spanish war,
after negro troops had taken and held
San Juan hill, call was made for vol
unteers to fight fever in the hospitals.
An entire regiment responded as one
man. The negro is a brave soldier.
He has the stuff of which good citi-
zens are made''
That is expert testimony. General
Miles is quite right in instancing the
willingness of the negro soldiers to
serve in fever camps as a great ex-
ample of heroism. Ii is a better ex-
ample than mere courage in the face
of death on the field. The story told
by Samuel Lover of the Catholic
priest who effectively rebuked the mil
itary braggart by telling of having just
left smallpox case, whereupon the
military man in horror moved his seat
far away from the priest, well illus
trates this point
The negro is brave on the field. His
aptitude for nursing the sick is well
understood. The records of the gradu-
ates of Provident hospital in this city
show that young negro women make
excellent nurses.
Altogether, there is no denying the
negro's courage, and, although it takes
more than mere courage to make good
the possession of this excel
lent attribute gives emphasis to the
claims which the negro is making
good in many ways.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.

The form of government in Liberia

trained in institutions of learning in
Liberia The present president, Dan

and is the son of a former slave from
NoJfalk, Va. The seat of government
is located at Monrovia, city of 10000
inhabitants, where there is located,

these governments have large COM

Booker Washington talked in New
York a few days ago of what the
negro has done In the last 80 years In
the United States.
I'm proud of my race" he declared.
Il tell you that the American negro
is the only dark-skinned race that
ever lived side by side with you white
men-and grew"
Because of the negro's tangible as
well as spiritual achievements he
thinks that some consideration should
be shown him.
You should allow the negro a
chance a readjust himself to his
changed conditions" said Washington.
He has a habit of telling a story to
illustrate the point he wishes to make.
He told such story now.
Il called on a friend of mine said
he. He was a lawyer in Jackson
vile. He lived there in a fine new
house-Im afraid to tell you how
much money that house cost He was
proud of it and he showed me around.
By and by he came to the dining
room.
When | put my foot on this bell.
he said, standing by the dining room
table, the maid comes to see what l
want
so he put his foot on the bell and
the maid came. Then he put his foot
on the bell again and the maid popped
in at the door. He motioned her away,
but pretty soon he put his foot on
the bell again. and the maid came
once more.
What are you doing that for?' I
asked him.
Well, said he. it isn't so long
since l was a Pullman porter. And
l can't get used to seeing people come
when l ring for en-"
Washington compared this man with
another Pullman porter he once en-
countered. After the man had done
hia work Washington sat down to talk
educated and intelligent man By and
by the porter said:
"Mr. Washington, have some
whiskey in my bag. Let's have a
drink"
Washington refused and expressed
his surprise that man of the others
apparent intelligence should drink on
duty.
Il wanted to be something once"
said the porter, but I've found out
that | can never be anything but just
n porter. Why shouldn't drink? No
one cares what niger porter does?"
It's the first point of view natural
ly, that Washington approves.

Down deep in the heart of the av-

tute, told gathering of negroes at
Kansas City The educator spoke at
the Second Baptist church to more
than a thousand members.
What we need to do is to adver-
tise our advantages as a race, our abil-
ity to overcome difficulties" he said.
Leave 1t to others to advertise our
shortcomings and our disadvantages.
1T does not pay in business and it
will not pay as race to-advertise our
troubles and our failures to the
