1t may be possible that street car

late afternoon hours There IS a
great amount Of construction work
along that line not to make further
mention OF the industries and the
travel morning and evening IS natur-
ally heavy. II is impossible most OF
the time to get seats on account OF

car, a privilege passengers pay for
unless it be when something special
is on such as the fair or a circus.
Lack OF seats is hardship TO the
men. VINO must stand on their way 10

as to whether as much revenue Is
needed as the governor asserts Ger
tain can be certainly ascertadned at
the special session. and the Telegram
takes it that the governor will not

" needed. The legislature itself
should feel it duty TO provide a

legislature getting down TO real
business and mutual feeling that
something must be accomplished al
the coming extra session, il is ration

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Governor Carlson issued a
statement over his signature regarding
the action of the Senate on the Goth
on the administration industrial COM
mission law, which, in part. follows:
Il am much disappointed in the ac-
tion of certain members of the Senate
in regard to the compensation and in
dustrial law.
81 feel much like a cashier of a bank
must feel when he has just learned
that one more than the majority OF the
bank directors decided in a meeting of
the night before to wreck the bank.
IF they had opposed the compensa-
tion and industrial bill upon the ground
of principle l would have much more
hope for them, but when many of these
senators agree that what we are try
ing to do is for the good of the state.
and they oppose, obstruct and seek to
destroy simply to discredit the admin
istration, l am forced to conclude that
their patriotism is at low ebb.
Such senators as Billy Adams and
West, are, no doubt, opposed to a
workmen's coE- pensation and industri-
al act upon the ground of principle.
have expected their opposition; but, as
governor OF the state, l had right to
expect the support of senators who for
years have represented to the workers
and employers of the state that they
were for a compensation act
"As governor 1 must condemn sena-
tors who for partisan reasons alone
make an unholy alliance with the
avowed enemies of the compensation
law, and seek to obstruct and destroy
what the administration is endeavor-
ing to do
This is not partisan question 1t
is question in which the industries
of the state and the laborers of the
state are vitally interested. In the
face of our experience, it is question
that We should not delay longer, but
We should manfully meet and solve.
This problem will be solved, in spite
of the destructionists.
Il have only this suggestion to make
to them, and if they persist in their
course they will soon find that it is
only too true: No one is quite so sure
of destruction as the destructionist
himself"

Booker T. Washington was the prin-
cipal speaker at the annual New
York meeting in the interests of
Hampton institute. Virginia, at Car
negie hall. Mr.. Washington said:
THE Hampton institute in Virginia.
whose interests bring us here tonight,
more than any single institution in
the South has led the way for high
er and better civilization for both
whites and blacks in the South. and
the credit for this leadership is very
largely due to the far-sighted. mod
est, unseltish, brave man, DIR. Hollis
B. Frissell, the principal of Hamp-
ton institute.
Aside from the millions of white
people in the South, there are nine
millions of black people. Taking the
country as a whole. there are more
black people in the United States
than there are people in the Dominion
of Canada, nearly as many as consti-
tute the population of the whole of
Mexico. We have enough Negroes in
the United States to populate five of
the smaller European countries, and
then have two million remaining.
I'VE can all congratulate ourselves
that the United States congress re-
fused a few days ago to enact that
unjust law preventing more Negroes
from coming into the United States.
Such a law would have been unjust
and needless
while here and there we often have
evidences of needless racial friction
in the South, yet, when we consider
what is going on in Europe, where
the races are white, we may congratu-
late ourselves that in the South,
where we have two races, different in
color, that conditions are so peace
full and hopeful as they are, not
withstanding the wrongs that so fre-
quently come to the surface.
THE South just now is the most
interesting place in which to live
because there are SO many changes
taking place and so much work to be
done.

If the buildings of the school at
Manassas need painting or repairing,
the boys take care of it; all the chill
dren's shoes are kept in order, from
small patch to half soles and heels,
by the young cobblers; the mattresses
used in the dormitories are all made
at the school; the washing for the en-
tire school, as well as for the teach
ers, is done by the girls, as well as all
the housework and cooking. In fact.
there are few occasions when there
job of any sort.
These boys and girls go back to
their home towns or rural communi-
ties carrying with them the inspira-
tion of skilled usefulness and ideals
of better living, and the surrounding
community is showing decided signs
of this influence in most gratifying
ways. The school comes also in touch
with the people of the country round
about through the Negro Agricultural,
Educational and Industrial alliance,
,, which meets three times a year at
Manassas. This brings together the
farmers, ministers, teachers and lead
