You feed your passions with selfishness,
You coddle envy and hunt for sights;
When you hear that YOU neighbor has
won success,
You imagine that he has %infringed your
rights;
But the sun is managing still to shine,
So come out Of the dark and cease to
whine.

Southern money is flowing toward
work for negro betterment. The stu

ing a fund for the Industrial depart
ment of Nashville institute. A fash
ionable girls school in Nashville, long
noted for benevolence to foreign mis-
sions, but hitherto oblivious to the
need Of colored people at their very
door, has this winter given $500 to
pay the salary of a director for the
Girls of the Forward Quest" an or
ganization paralleling the negroes the
white Camp Fire Girls.
Right here is shown the good faith
of the negro in claiming equal, but
not necessarily the anne privileges
with the white man. 1t was the north
which took the responsibility of dis
couraging negro girls from organizing
camp fires. Mr.. and Mrs. McCulloch
then set to work to devise a parallel
plan, especially suited to the needs
of negro girls, and one for boys to
be known as Boys of the Advance
Guard" The way these separate or
CARNATIONS are welcomed marks the
difference between the spirit of the
northern and the southern negro.
Good faith on the part Of southern
whites is evidenced by the action of
the Federation of Labor of Tennessee,

AFRO-AMERCAN CULL|NCS

In an address before the National
Conference of Race Betterment at Bat
tie Creek, Mich, DR.. Booker T. Wash
ington uttered these remarkably wise
words regarding the treatment of
the negro which are worth ponder
ing:
There are 10000, 900 colored citi-
zens in this country, and they are
here to stay. They will help or they
will hinder. The white people can
make the negro become a better citi-
zen not only by being frank with him
with reference to his shortcomings,
but by praising him when he does
well. Greater good can be accom-
plished If the strong points of the
negro are emphasized and less stress
placed upon the weak points"
That is sound common sense. We
must recognize, the fact that the ne
gro is with us to stay and we must
make the best of him. He can be of
service or not, as he is treated. The
white race, being dominant numer-
ically and in civilization, must be toll
Grant and kindly.
1t is not necessary to minimize the
negro's shortcomings nor to be blind
to the fact that he has faults largely
due to conditions which surround
him. But we must strive to eradi-
cate these faults by proper education,
by tolerance and by broad human sym
patty.
In the meanwhile we must remem-
Der that discriminating praise and ap.
probation constitute some of the
chief elements of incentive to bet
ter effort, and we should not be stint
ing of these when the negro deserves
them. Rather, we should seek occa-
sions to bestow them.-Exchange.

Woman's Suffrage Carried
In Thirteen Counties and
Was Beated by 9,139 Votes

Bismarck, N. d., Dec. 3.--The
November election returns COM
piled in the office of the secretary
of state show that woman's suf-
ferage cast the largest vote of any
measure or Office, carrying 251
more than the total vote cast for
governor which was $1,000.
There apears to be some ques-
tion as to whether there was really
that much interest in the matter
and 1t is possible there may be
something doing in the way of an
investigation. An effort to secure
an interview with Mrs, Elizabeth
Preston Anderson, secretary of the
Woman's Suffrage league, proved
futile as she could not be reached
by telephone so 1t is not known
whether they consider the vote
normal considering the conditions
or not.
