ATTORNEY B. S. SMITH OF MIN
NEAPOLIS MAKES AN ELO-
OUENT ADDRESS AGAINST
EXHIBITION OF THE BIRTH
OF A NATION" AT A PUBLIC
HEARING IN ST. PAUL.
The following is an editorial from
the St. Paul Pioneer Press:
A Champion Worth While.

The following is an editorial IRON
the St. Paul Pioneer Press:
A Champion Worth While.
If the negroes who opposed the
presentation of "The Birth of a Ma
ton" so strongly felt it incumbent on
them to offer proof to the public that
their race has progressed since the
period covered by the much-discussed
film play, they would need to seek no
farther than Brown S. Smith, the
negro attorney whose masterful ap
peal won for them the partial victory
which was granted by the City Council
on Wednesday.
Though surrounded by several well
educated, cultured men of his own
race, Mr.. Smith lowered above them
all by the force of his unique person
ality and the wonderful eloquence Of
his address. He spoke for nearly an
hour to an audience which contained
many who opposed his proposals mos
strongly, but he held the absolute at,
tention of every listener. AS he made
his points, rounding them out with a
touch of humor or pathos, or burst
of eloquence, he swayed and converted
many of his auditors who had entered
the council chamber with their minds
set in favor of his opponents.
+. There was more than the appeal OF
one man in his speech. Listening to
his remarkable flow of words, the inn
partial hearer was forced to the con-
clusion that here was the sincere ap-
peal of a race of men and women
with the same pride in accomplish
ment, the same depth of feeling, the
same earnest desire to progress, that
the white race possesses. His flashes
of humor softened the sting of his sar-
casm and served to drive home his
points. His features reflected every
emotion of his brain; his expressive
eyes twinkled with merriment at times
and glowed with fervor at others. His
choice of words and his knowledge of
the tricks of elocution proclaimed him
a finished orator.
Aside from the merits of either side
of the argument in which this man
participated, his part in the real-life
drama was an unanswerable argu-
ment in refutation of the theory,
which even now finds exponents, that
education and enlightenment are bad
for his race.

The root Of sin Is selflshness. and
selfishness is at the bottom Of the

mother of greed. avarice. inordinate

A good many people would like to

claimed has placed him among the
foremost thinkers and leaders Of the
race in the United States Of America.
But in emphasizing industrial educa-
tion for Liberia ] do not wish. to be
understood that 1t should in any wise
supersede or be given greater promi-
nence than the higher or intellectual
education. The republic needs and
must have literally men to conduct in
telligently the affairs Of church and
state. The aim Of education in Liberia
should be. as in the past. to qualify
men for this as much as any other
service In national and private life.
The future of this republic would be
seriously jeopardized and its progress
imperiled II for any cause we should
neglect the higher intellectual training
Of our citizens. The state requires the
service and support Of men Of literary
attainments and professions as well as
It does its Industrial element. She must
have skilled physicians and medical ex-
perts to preserve the public health
through the application Of hygienic and
sanitary rules and regulations and to
combat the ills to which flesh is heir. "
At the Inauguration exercises. which
were attended by the president. men,
bers Of his cabinet and many promi-
nent and distinguished citizens. the
Hon. Mr. Dossen said:
I'VE cannot emphasize too strongly
the Importance Of education as means
to national Improvement and progress.
1t is the vital force that will uplift So
ciety. elevate the nation and qualify
the people for the responsibilities and
duties Of citizenship. All history
proves that llliteracy Is potent draw
back to any people. The nations that
lead the world today in power and
achievements are those that have laid
stress upon the value Of education and
have diligently promoted knowledge
among all classes Of their citizens.
The great source Of power and effi-
cheney in the leading countries of the
world lies primarily In their colleges
and universities. Remove these and
their influences from among them and
the result would be national decadence
From this source emanate the leaders

WINDOW PLANTS
RUSHED TO I1IMII
Owing to the Great Demand
and the Very Light Stocks
on Hand at Present.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 13.-The cur
rent number Of the Glassworker con-
tains the following:
Not In years, II ever before, accord
ing to late reports. have window glass
stocks been as1ow as at present.
From present indications every
inch of glass that will be made in
the hand and machine plants Of the
country during the balance Of the
year is already as good as sold.
The demand, which all through
the month OF October was brisk, is
now much more pressing. owing to
the unheard of lowness Of stock in
the hands Of manufacturers, jobbers
and door and sack men. Urgent or
ders are piling up and the glass is be-
ing rushed to destination as fast as
1t can pc produced.
There Is no question as to the aus
|piclous conditions now surrounding
the blast which opened last week
there is no good reason to suppose
that the present splendid business
will come to an abrupt end with the
opening of the new year. OF course
the urgency of the need Of window
glass will not be as great then as at
present, but there is yet no sign of
the completion of foreign plants or
any alteration of existing good bust
ness conditions. Foreign glass is st'tl
indefinitely withheld from the United
States market. and very little Of It is
going to other lands.
Reports from all over the country
indicate that all plants are in tip-top
condition, the only possible handicap
being some scarcity of labor.
