case of lead, certain manufacturers
have over bought their requirements

The last delegation Of state legisla-

22nd inst. did not comprise many in
%dividuals who were noted for making
speeches but most of them committed
themselves as being in accord with
the purpose of the institution and
pledged their generous support in the
way of appropriations. Most of them
when called upon to say a few words
apoligized for their inability to make
speeches and made good by not try
ing to speak. Quite often a man will
appear before an audience and spend
several minutes in telling his hearers
that he is no "speech-maker" and then
founder about for a while and prove
it without any question of doubt.

Report comes from Sioux Falls that
there is a movement on foot to organ

include eight or ten towns in this state

Brookings is included in the list but

man team in each place with a salary
list limited to $1,000 a month and that
each team will be required to put up
a bond of $500 to finish the season.
Brookings had an experience with a

THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Saws Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.

Home Training Most important.
Says Miss Mamie II. Burroughs.
The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part OF
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard of the life of the
masses is the only solution.
As with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about reform the woman
hood of the race must be taught
how to instruct their children in
those virtues, that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro Is by nature religious and
therefore moral. He is both; but he
is not enough of either when it comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because of his crude
conception of what the Christian re-
ligion really is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another.
Often the foremost woman in the
church is so far from a model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This misrepresenta-
ton of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman
is combination of all. She allows
beer drinking, card playing, and rag
time music in her home. She is loose
in her conversation. Her language is
often smutty. Her demeanor be-
comes a woman of the street. Her
home is hangout for sliding elders"
| and loafing, hungry preachers. Her
house is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to be men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are therefore, TIE freshest things in
the neighborhood. They run the
church. They sit in the front heat,
chew gum, talk and keep their gang
giggling. To speak to them is to
throw a match into magazine OF
powder. 81. .
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters, get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers. They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren of too many of those who aspire
to leadership in our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence of their mothers and
give our churches all kinds of trouble
| What we need is new type OF
women in our homes as mothers,
and new type of women in our
churches as leaders and examples for
the young.
| The wig wearing, gum chewing
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neglecting, convention
fever type of women are out OF style
and from them may we soon be de-
livered.
The Worker.
