According to the preliminary report
OF the census bureau, although the
population of Negroes in the United
States has increased 993,769 since
1900. in 1910 they formed only 10.7
OF the total population, against 11.6
per cent in 1900. The total number OF
Negroes in the United States in 1910
was 9,S27,763, compared with $685.
944 in 1900. The increase for the. dec.
ade was 11.2 per cent. In the same
time there was an increase of POS per
cent among the native whites and 307
per cent among the foreign born
whites. The Negroes are the only race
in the country showing larger per.
centage of females than males
1t is gratifying to note that the Ne
groes form 14.5 per cent of the rural
population of the country. For years
Negro leaders have urged their people
to stay on the farm and avoid the con-
gestion of the cities. The Negro in the
country is self-supporting, healthy
and in many cases better provided
with this worlds goods thar his white
neighbor on the same economic foot
Ing. This is particularly true among
the small farmers of the South. where
the training of the Booker T. Wash
ington school at Tuskegee has resulted
In making some highly successful Ne
gro farmers. in addition to the other
industrial pursuits for which students
are fitted. The total value of farm
property operated by Negroes is shown
to be $1,144, ,1S1 900 in 1910, which is
no inconsiderable sum and is a large
increase over the valuation of S499.-
941, 900 in 1900.
These figures are highly significant
as showing the large number of Negro
farmers there are in the country and
the rapidity with which they are de-
veloping. OF the total Negro popula-
ton more than seven million live in
the country. In the ten years illiteracy
has decreased from 571 to 3O.4,
while the death rate has de-
creased in the registration area from
29.4 per cent to 25.5 per cent. In
every way the Negroes seem to have
made substantial progress during the
last Observation-Disclosures Age-Her-
aid.

For the first time in the history OF
the Supreme court of the United
States a colored attorney moved the
admission of a white attorney to prac-
tice before the court. William r.
Stewart, a colored attorney from
Youngstown, o., was admitted to prac-
tice in connection with damage suit
brought by James Welsh of Youngs-
town against the Erie railroad, and
Stewart moved the admission to prac-
tice of Emil ]. Anderson, another
Youngstown attorney.
Until recent ears there have been
very few attorneys admitted to prac-
tice in the highest court. Each year,
however, records an increasing num-
ber of colored attorneys of sufficient
caliber to have business before the
Supreme court. For n colored attor-
ney to stand sronsor, however, for a
Caucasian is ithout precedent.

THE RIGHT WAY TO STAND

In the August Woman's Home Com
panion William j. Comic writing an
article entitled What Every Girl
Should know" tells the right way to
stand, sleep and walk. Following is
his advice as to standing:
I'm the correct standing position
the chest is held high and thrown
out strongly, the abdomen drawn in,
the chin in toward the chest, with the
body held direct and leaning slightly
forward. The weight of the body is
equally distributed upon both feet.
either with one foot in advance of the
other as in the military at rest or
with heels together, as in figure. In
the military carriage the body is bent
farther forward than in the ordinary
walking posture. The cadet gets his
erect posture. not so much by the
physical exercise he takes as by con-
stantly being reminded by his officers
that he must hold his body erect.
There are three ways to tell
whether you are carrying yourself
properly. Stand with the back to a
wall which has a smooth surface, with
the head. shoulders, hips and heels
touching the wall; try to maintain this
position at all times.

LUCILLE LOVE, AT THE PALACE

When Lucille learned that Loubeque
was to meet Lieutenant Hadley at his
tened to the rendezvous herself AS she
was the first to arrive, she took a look
through the house of so many terrors.
When she beheld picture of Loubeuue
upon the wall, Lucille removed the pic
ture and behind it found a switchboard.
No sooner than she has mastered the
system of switches than Lieutenant
Hadley arrived. In an instant she laid
her plan of action. She informed Had
ley that Loubeque was not there, but
that he would leave on the Golden State
Limited that night. Hadley was salts
fled and left.
A few moments later Loubeque ar
rived to keep his appointment with
Hadley. Instead of Hadley he found
Lucille. As Loubeque leaned against
the desk Lucille pressed the proper
button and Loubeque fell through the
Lucille crept into the cellar and re-
moved the documents from his inside
pocket. An instant later Loubeque re-
covered and ran after the girl but he
ran to the mouth of the secret tunnel,
and just before Loubeque grasped her
the iron gate. Lucille rushed to the
railroad station and caught the outgo-
ing train. Loubeque also arrived, but
he was too late. Lucille was gone for
ever with the papers. Returning to
his home, Loubeque told Gibson that
Lucille was on her way to Washington
with the documents, but Gibson
thought the spy was lying to him. Each
took a sword and they decided to set
tie the argument with blood.
Lucille delivered the documents to
the Secretary of War at Washington,
and thus saved the name of her father
and of her sweetheart, Lieutenant Glib
son. Gibson arrived while Lucille was
yet with the Secretary. He fell at
Lucille's feet and begged her forgive
ness for misjudging her, and she was
only too willing to re-establish him in
her heart. That night Loubeque wrote
in his diary:
MY debt of hate toward sumpter
Love is Cancelled, for no hate can out
live love in the man who has known
Lucille"
Loubeque loved Lucille.-Advertise-

WAR WILL PUT AN
END To MOVARCH|ES
So Declares Oscar S. Straus, the
Unofficial American Ambas-
sador" in London

London, Aug. 10.-Oscar S. Straus,
whom the thousands of stranded
Americans in London are calling THE
unofficial American Ambassador" has
sent the following message to the
American People,
What has happened in the last six
days, and what is happening to-day, is
less important than the final outcome
of 1t all. In my opinion the great
blessing that will result from this
titanic world clash will be the obliter-
alton of every monarchy in Europe
do not believe their are any
men living who can foresee what
this clash of armies between the
leading nations of Europe may lead
to, but in the loss of human life, in
suffering and destruction of property
and in economic arrangement, it must
dwarf into insignificance the cost OF
teh Napoleonic Wars.
This is no mere clash between Ger
many and the allies. 1t is not even q
war between four or five world pow
ers. Even if one or two main bell
gerents should be crushed that will
not end the war, but simply be light
ing new fires of war with more lurid
glare.
who doubts but that the high
handed and arbitrary attitude of Ger
many will force Italy to become a
belligerent, allied with Great Britain,
France and Russia? Nobody can who
understands the situation.
This itself opens one of the gravest
Issues of the entire war. 1t is per-
haps the most unfortunate phase of
the entire situation-this alliance be-
tween the two advanced parliamentary
governments with Russia a medieval
autocracy.
THE responsibility rests upon Eng
land and France to COMPEL Russia to
modernize her governmental system,
and that right away. Upon them rests
the burden of forcing Russia to give
equal rights to all her subjects.
Otherwise the alliance, instead of
proving bulwark of strength, will be-
come burden. How can Russia ex-
pect the people she has Systematically
oppressed and denied all civil rights to
be patriotic?
THE reason the citizens of France
and the subjects of Great Britain,
without respect to class or creed, have
risen to the highest point of patriot
ism is because those governments
have been and are just to all.
UNLESS Russia is made to see, unless
she accords now at once full rights to
those whose patriotism she relies on,
she Will have to contend with re-
volution within.
Il have spoken to a number of
statesmen and other prominent men
here and in France and expressing
their views, l have no doubt France
and England fully appreciate the
gravity of this responsibility
They will use their influence to
this end aside from all other reasons
for the sake of having a strong ally
that Will measure up to the standard
of civilized nations"
