Writing in the Baltimore American,
the Rev. J. q. King. pastor OF the
Union Methodist Episcopal church at
st. Michaels. Md, has this to say:
ITO be successful in the develop
ment of the soil we must have ecien-
tific training; thus well-equipped agri-
cultural colleges for the negro are in
dispensable. The day of the ignorant
and superstitious farmer has passed.
Superstition is being replaced by SCI
ence, ignorance by knowledge. inefi-
cheney by efficiency.
IF the white man, who Is nearing
the top of the hill OF our great ma
terial endeavor, needs the advantages
of a well-equipped agricultural college.
how much greater are the needs of
those who only yesterday, like goods
and chattels. served as a medium OF
commercial exchange; who stand at
the very foot of the hill struggling to
ascend? This efficiency will not only
be Of benefit to all of those whose
racial identity | bear, but more far
reaching than the average person
would imagine will be the benefits de-
rived by the white people as WELL OBJ
servation alone has evidently taught
every thoughtful white man that the
increase of mental. moral and material
efficiency on the part of the negro
means the decrease of ignorance, idle
ness and crime. We live side by side
with our white neighbor, and be our
contribution to this great social fabric
helpful or banefu he is affected ac-
cordingly and commensurately.
Is 1t not. therefore, the highest wis
dom on the part of every. constituent
part OF community to welcome cor
daily every means that will perma-
nently establish the criterion: All men
up, and not some men DOWN."

Go SWIMMING
oh YOUR bow to swim

Teach your boy to swim.
1t is the best exercise in the world in
the summer. It developes the chest,
improves the wind and strengthens the
heart. A boy who does much swim
ming can't smoke many cigarettes, be-
cause swimming is about the severest
test Of wind there is. Besides if your
boy knows how to swim it will likely
save his life some time.
Teach your girl to swim. 1t will
make her supple, 1.-THE and strong and
self-reliant. For when she is beyond
her depth she has only her own arms,
legs and nerve to depend on. And know.
ing how to swim may::save her life. Prac-
tically every one that was saved from
the Empress of Ireland could swim.
Teach yourself to swim, if you-do not
know already. You. cannot be too old
nor too young to enjoy it. 1t is the best
fun in the world, and itmay save your
fife some time. Tribune.

Good Wordfor
Ed. L. LuCko@1

The following is clipping from the
National Tribune of Washington, D. c.,
commencing the work of Edward L.
Luckow, former editor of the Sank
County Democrat, now auditor of the
navy:
It is always a pleasure to recognize
good work done by an official in the
administration of his office. The ma
tional Tribune, in it's patriotic regard
for the highest efficiency and good of
the public service, takes especial
pleasure in commencing those who de-
serve it, no matter what their political
affiliations may be.
In this category comes as worthy of
high praise Hon. Edward L. LUCKNOW,
the Auditor of the Treasury for the
Navy Department. Mr.. Luckow has
not only shown himself very capable
administrator, but he has been more
conscientious than, we regret to say,
many of his colleagues in preserving
the spirit of the Civil Service law.
Since he has been in office more than
so changes have occurred in the clerical
force, and every promotion or other ad-
has been made strictly upon
merit and after careful consideration of
the personality of the clerks.
1t is the highest praise of his fair
ness and impartiality to say that all
the clerks in his office agree that every
promotion and Encouragement Of the
office was just and in the interest of
the public service.
