 St. Louis, May 22.-A rally by the Browns extending over the last two innings cracked Ray Fishers winning streak here and took away game which Donovans men already were counting as an addition to their vic- tory column. Several Tanks figured in the final proceedings in way to help along defeat, but the Yankee pitcher was more to blame than any of his mates, as the closing rally owed most of it's strength to his wfldness.

WHY NOT BE FAIR WITH THE
NEWSPAPER MAN7

No one has an opportunity of learn
ing the characteristics of individuals
more than the publisher of race
paper, and no one has more varied
and peculiar experiences. There are
those who will pay the subscription
as regularly and as promptly as it
is due without delay or hesitation,
just as they would any other debt.
This is the desirable and welcome
subscriber. There is another class
who subscribe as willingly and will
pay the subscription at that time, but
it is almost impossible to collect it
again, for it is almost impossible to
find the individuals as they move from
place to place so frequently. Then
there is the responsible subscriber
who feels that he is good for the sub
scription but never pays unless per-
sonal demand is made upon him for
it. This may ease his conscience, but
it is almost as difficult to collect his
subscription when it is needed most,
as it Is to collect from the man who
is not responsible. Then there is the
subscriber who imagines that every
one pays his subscriptions except him
self and that the publisher is well to
do and does not need the money. He
keeps the money in his pocket until il
Is thawed out by first one process
and then, another. Some subscribers
never intend to pay and by first one
subterfuge or another avoid payment
until the publisher in self-defense
must stop the paper and collect the
subscription by legal process when
this is possible. Really the sub
scribers to race papers should feel a
deeper interest in their success and
adopt the habit of paying for them
promptly, and in that way may tighten
the burdens of the publisher and in
sure better and more regular publica-
ton of the paper-Kansas City Sun.

THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie II. Burroughs.

Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.
The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part OF
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard of the fife 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 a 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 a 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 a 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, the 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 a magazine of
powder.
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 a new type of
women in our homes as mothers,
and new type of women in our
churches as leaders and examples for
the young. -. 49,.
The wig wearing, gum chewing,
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neg1ecting, convention
fever type of women are out of style,
and from them may we soon be de-
livered.
