timated that he was afraid something
was wrong with the meter From the
official point of view, Of course. meters
can only show one fault. and the symp-
tom which had cast suspicion on this
meter was that 1t had registered less
during the quarter than in the corre-

But the lady of the house has con-
vincing explanation OF the decline.

The presidents proclamation be-
speking interest in the exposition at
Richmond organized under the aus
pices Of the Negro Historical and In
dustrial association is an evidence in
itself Of the extraordinary progress OF
that race in America since the door
or opportunity was opened. 1t is the
voice Of all the people. white and
black. and will bear good fruit. Only
n thoroughly worthy object could have
brought from the chief executive such
a dellverance.
The display at Richmond represent.
ed less than half a century of build
ing along the lines Of intelligent sys-
TEN and study. For not until a few
years after the war closed did the
Negro get fairly started on the road
TO individual effort and thrift. He was
for a time in the clutches OF the poll
ticians. some pulling this way and
some that. but none pulling for him.
II was In the early '70s that he finally
got his proper bearings and began 20
show under friendly leadership his
zenship. Since then he has done
much; and all true men appreciate the
performance, and wish him success
in his further like course.
The Negro is in America to stay
All the shallow outgivings of futile
dreamers and selfish schemers about
deportation have ceased Neither the
intelligent Negro nor the intelligent
white man was misled Both could
appralse the real situation, and did
appraise 1t at its right value. America,
never more so than now. is oppor-
tunity for the man who wants to make
himself useful qualities to that end
what he earns.
The Negro should be not only in.
dustrious but patient Half a century
is scarcely more than a day in reckon
ing the advancement and achievements
of a race. But II is the first steps
that count; and since his feet were
set in the right path the n sgros steps
have been steady and assu-'u,.
Reference. of course, is 20 the Ne
gro who respects hiris " anj solicits
by his conduct the respect OF his white
neighbors. When he does that he pros
pers. When he does his duty by him
self he does It by others; and here he
sees himself able to command the sym
pathy and recognition of the highest
official OF the government, speaking
for all who live under the government
and know the benefits of its protec
tion.
