TWO races cannot live in the same state, under the same law, enjoying ,ss same pursuits of happiness and life if one races interests are advanced at the sacrifice of the other.
 Our state superintendent of education has not as vet fnnnd time to say much in behalf of the negro children.
 Our county superintendents have not spoken out in loud tones: maybe after while they will be heard from
 When we think of it. we are not pleas antly reminded; the education of my peo- pie started at the head but not at the foot because it is at the bottom of life's ladder one must begin lifes journey. We were first taught to make living when our first lesson should have been to make q life.'
 Assisting the Negro in Our Homes
 Here is the remarkably practical and workable suggestion of this man who so feelirgy writes of his race.
 This matter should come to the atten- ton of every man, woman and child in the state
 If in every home where my people are employed as servants they are given one half hoIr-even quarter of an hour each day by the third or fourth grade child in that home teaching these servants to spell, read and write their own names, what great school we would have through this medium for the negro, and how much it would mean to your chill dren. Many of the cooks live in the yard and no few have children. Tn spite of all you do. your children will learn from them by association
 What is true of your cook and children Is true of your washwoman and chil- dren, nurse and children your driver and children, and even the men, women and children of my race that pass your home. Your children going on the street to and fro from school in this way form habits through observation
 Will 1t pay? Will it be worth while striking out ignorance among the 100000 in our state?
 We need more laws of human Kindness and less laws of civil punishment.'
 We cannot but realize the Justice of this mans plea; we know when the negro woman has been properly educated, as is being done in comparatively small way by the institutions of learning for the ne- gro in this state; the tired mother may not be subjected to the diet of under done or overdone food the child will not so often be the victim of disease and careless nursing, through the companion- ship of an ignorant nurse maid Because the south still considers the ne- gro in the light of a domestic necessity the occupation of house servant becomes their vocation. If we desire efficiency in our negro help we must at least grant them education along the lines of work they have been placed in.

WHAT SUBMARINES ARE FOR.

The news that German submarine
had sunk two British torpedo boats in
the North sea was received in Amer
lea. recently, with sort of pleased
surprise. Not that anybody rejoiced
in the destruction of property and
life; but it seemed to suggest that the
German admiralty was again coming
TO a proper use OF submarines.
That is what submarines are for
TO sink torpedo boats and other war
vessels. That is what the U-boats
were used for early in the war, when
the sinking of three British cruisers,
the Aboukir Hogue and Cressy. all at
once, was hailed as the sign of a new
epoch in naval warfare. Americans
gave Germany full credit for that
achievement. and acknowledged Capt.
Weddings as a hero. 1t was a legit-
innate stroke of war brilliantly exc
cuted.
But there has been little in the
subsequent history OF German sub
marines to win applause from the i'm
partial Beyond the sinking of the
British cruiser Hawk. and some effect
i've strokes in the Dardanelles proba-
bly, accomplished by Germans, they
have seemed for several months to
shun danger deliberately. preferring
the mild sport of blowing up mer-
chant vessels, trawlers and unarmed
passenger ships.
If the Germans would turn their
submarines in earnest against the
enemy's warships instead of using
them for the destruction Of property
and life without military advantage,
they would win back some Of the lost
respect of the world and do the en-
envy far more harm.

Britain Shows Queer Attitude in

known race course and we were
lodged in the stable, four in each stall
There were about 800 prisoners
there, guarded by 20 soldiers who
cursed and abused us continually
ION our way there we were beaten
and kicked and several women faint

ed by hundreds of people who insult
ed them and spat in their faces.
The stalls in which we we're quar-
tered were damp and draughty and
there was nothing TO sleep on but the
bare ground. We decided to sleep
outside on the turf. but at 9 o'clock
the soldiers ordered US to go inside
When we explained that it would be
impossible 10 sleep inside, they
laughed and told us that we had TO.
I'VE were allowed two hours ex-
ercise daily in the open air under
guard. Then we had to rest for half
an hour in the camp grass and were
told that anyone who tried TO get up
before ordered TO do so would be shot
without warning The slightest re-
mark was punished by "a hours in

The proposition 20 make of the
coming Fourth Of July an American
ization Day" is finding great favor
everywhere. The bloody Fourth is a

only be fifty celebrated by manning

TO take place with the witchcraft de-
fusion and other obsolete supersti-
tons
Now comes the suggestion that the
day be given over TO a sort OF intia-
tion af new citizens. Receptions are
TO be held for the newly naturalized
ones at which the speakers are to tell
of the, glory and the meaning OF citi-
zenship Of the United States
This was the original idea OF cele-
brating the day. when all our citizens
were new, when they felt the honor
and the responsibility deeply. and
used the day for public gatherings in
which to impress these things upon
their children. With the growth of
large cities these village meetings
went rather out of fashion, and fire

ment

perts. paid for by the city or by

may well have their place at the close
Of the holiday. But that each COM
munity should use the day in some
way TO emphasize the meaning of cit
izenship, TO welcome it's new citizens
and TO halp make the nation one of its
purpose and ideals is the fitting mode
Of commemorative the birth of the
nations independence.

MORE POWER FOR GOVERNORS

Our state governments are supposed
TO be modelled after the federal gov
eminent. In one important respect
they are not The states executive
branch lacks the unity and simplicity
of the national executive.
The president appoints his cabinet.
The heads of departments are respOn-
sibIe directly TO him. If anything goes
wrong. he is blamed for it. The re-
suit is that things seldom go very far
wrong. Our federal system, on the
whole. has worked admirably.
When we come TO the state execu-
tive, there is confusion. The gov
ernor's power is far more limited than
the presidents. His cabinet is chosen
for him by the voters. IL Massachu-
sets ne has a council wish power 10
thwart almost any official act. In
New York his executive power is
broken up among many semi-inde-
pendent department heads. Various
states have various ways Of tying the
governors hands. And perhaps that
one reason why state government in
general is so far inferior in effici6n n
cy TO federal government.
Now comes former President Taft
with the suggestion that New York. in
shaping it's new constitution, should
provide for a short state ballot and
give the governor power 10 appoint
his own administrative heads Of de-
partments. as the president does, con-
solidating the executive responsibility.
Why shouldn't New York, and every
other state as opportunity offers,

WORTH AGAIN GETTING BUSY
Great Partisan Ccstumer Has Sent Out
Some Hints as to Coming
Spring Costumes.

Paris is beginning to take little in
terest in the question of costumes just
now, and the foremost couturiers are
sending forth their messages of fabric
line and trimming almost as in former
seasons. Worth is making many won
derful frocks for the spring. A recent
letter from the fashion center says:
Worth is employing gabardine and
very soft, silky and supple cloth for
his walking costumes. Fallie Fran
caise is also being used by him very
extensively, and for his evening gowns
he is using great deal of charmeuse
pekine with silver. His skirts are very
wide and short, showing the shoe. The
sleeves of his evening dresses are ell
bow length; for the robes de Vile the
sleeves are all long. The collars are all
very high and close-ftting. Worth is
also making underskirts, as these will
now be worn with the very wide
dresses

SLEEVES MAY BE REPAIRED
Skillfuliy Done, the Waist Can Be
Made Prettier Than 1t Was at
the Beginning.

If you have a kimono-sleeved waist
most likely it has torn under the arms
in the way that those sleeves have
from the strain. A patch on such
tear shows too much to be allowable
on a dress for nice wear, and the fol-
lowing plan makes good substitute
for the darn or patch. Cut the sleeve
on top, down the center from the neck
to the wrist; now insert in it some
sort of appropriate trimming. such as
silk band. II this Is two or three
inches wide it widens both the sleeve
and the waist just that much, and so
makes sufficient fullness to allow for
deep seam under the arm where
the soil or tear has been; and 10! the
waist is not only mended but dressfer
than ever If there has already been
an insertion or lace set in along the
shoulder and arm line. a wider piece
may do the work.

The spy tumbled out as he had
tumbled in, by an act of gravity; and
Servan was alone. He spent two
days in comparative idleness. Then
things began to wake up.
For a long time the leather box
across which was inscribed Stanley

A busy spider had woven a trap
across the handle to the quaint lock.
The box was still badly stained from
its immersion in the salt water. At
certain time it was quietly with
drawn from its hiding place. 1t was
stealthily opened. A hand reached in
and when it withdrew packet of
papers was also withdrawn. The box
was again locked and lowered; and
presently the spider returned to find
that his cunning trap had been to-
tally destroyed. With the infinite pa
tience of his kind he began the weav-
ing of another trap. Perhaps this
would be more successful than its
predecessor.
