lage and sympathy. He has in him the
elements of good citizenship. When
encouraged and assisted he rises to
opportunities, and takes creditabie
and valuable place in the American
scheme of things. He enters into the
agricultural, the mechanical and the
trading equations, and earns and Sc
cures the respect of the respectable
white man. He helps to demonstrate
truth of great Importance in this
country, that the white man and the
colored man can live in amity togeth-
er, each contributing in his own way
and according to his ability to the
country's strength and advancement.
Such an assurance as Mr.. Low
gives, and coming from such a source,
means much. He is man not only
of ideals and eminence, but of large
means, and even larger financial con-
nections. He is practical as we'll, and
has had experience in the manage
ment of big affairs. AS trustee he
has already done a great deal for
Tuskegee, and stands ready to con-
tinue his aid.
Tuskegee and all kindred institu-
tions more than justify themselves,
and have an indisputable claim on
public interest and respect. With
out them the colored man would be
at great disadvantage. In his best
estate and moments his progress
would be slow. With them he is able
to equip himself for duties within
his range, and to help himself and
others. AS an author and orator DR..
Washington made reputation; but,
at the highest, that repu-
tation is not comparable with what
he is known for as an educator. The
founder of Tuskegee will live in men,
ory longest for that performance.

An Extending Custom.

"Oh, Christmas time is drawing near,
When everybody sings.
l feel that way throughout the year" ,"
Said Hezekiah Bings.
Sometimes it sort o seems grind
That leaves us all perplexed.
We toll each day in hope to find
A holiday the next.
"The boys an girls don't wait no
more
For gifts till Christmas day.
They keep you travelin' to the store
To make their spirits gay.
"'Shop early' we would say with
glee,
With winter in its prime.
But now the rule appears to be,
Shop early all the time"

Preparedness and Revenue.

Current report has it that the
President will make no recommenda-
ton to Congress as to where the
money necessary for the policy OF
preparedness should be found. After
pointing out the need of larger es-
tablishment for defense, he will leave
the question of the wherewlthal to
those charged by the Constitution
with deciding it.
While this is the proper order-and
the President should not go beyond
it-therc ere democrats who would be
glad to hear from him as to ways
and means. They find preparedness
a less difficult proposition than that
OF revenue. They can see the need
OF an increased allowance for both
the army and the navy. but cannot at
a glance see where the money is to
come from.
Still. Congress should be left to
wrestle with the problem unaided. 1t
right:u,ly falls to the lot of Congress.
and first. of course. to the House. All
measures for raising revenue must
originate in the House. The Senate
NAV. and often does, revise the
Houses work, but it may not take
the initiative.
Here is where Mr. Kitchin's real
difficulty comes in. His way is plain
IN the matter of opposing prepared
Ecss. He is simply obeying his con-
science. He does not believe that
any material increase in the appro-
priations for either the army or the
navy is necessary, and hence he
holds the ground he has previously
held on that subject. The European
war has not affected his judgment as
it has that of the President and the
judgments of many other democrats.
But Mr.. kitchin sees, and confess
es, that a considerable increase will
be voted, and that as chairman of
ways and means he must help pre-
pare, and take charge of in the
House, measure or measures provid-
ing the money.
Nor does his difficulty stop there.
More money is required for the up
keep OF the government aside from
the preparedness program. What
ever the cause.-The war, or the meas
ure itself, or both together-the I'm
derwood tariff neither raises suffi-
cient revenue nor stimulates busi-
ness, and must be supplemented or re-
vised to meet the emergency.
Now it so happens that Mr..
Kitchin helped prepare and pass the
Underwood bill. He approved it as it
left the House for the Senate. and
again when it was returned by the
Senate to the House very consider
ably made over. He is one OF the
sponsors who said to the country,
pointing to the new law, This is
the stuff"
First, then, Mr.. Kitchin must find
money for a policy of which he does
not approve; and, second, must in
effect confess failure for tariff work
he helped perform only two years
ago. "A policeman's lot is not
happy one" Neither, at times, is
statesmans.
