tanning his long time peace procliyities
Nor do we question the earnestness and
sincerity with which MIR. Bryan has held
the pacifst doctrine. A really loyal
subordinate, however, perceiving that his
chief had become involved in a situation
full of complexities, would try to help
him work way out. Our own John ID.
Long found himself at the head OF the
naval establishment in foreign war,
although he had been identified with the
peace cause, and presumably although
no one ever knew--was unenthusiastic
over the annexation of tropical islands.
But Gov. Long acted the soldiers part,
subordinating his own yiews-if they
were at variance with those of his asso-
ciates-to the larger whole.
Mr.. Bryan has made the presidents
course vastly more difficult. He has made
his country's position in the negotiations
vastly weaker. He has personally work
ed himself into place where he can
say Il told you So whatever happens.
And he has, incidentally, made the re-
election of President Wilson extremely
improbable, whatever may happen with
the nomination. For sufficiently large
elements of the Democratic party, from
racial sympathies and otherwise, are
likely to ratify Bryan's course to con
stitute serious detection in party
ranks, OF the history making perhaps

GERMAN PRESS GUARDED.
In Commenting on Bryan's Resignat ior
From Cabinet.

Berlin, via London, June l0.--The res
| lgnation of the American secretary OF
state has caused great surprise here. anc
opinions as to the reason which led MIR
| Bryan to take this step differ greatly.
| The Nittag Zeitung assumes that Mr.
Bryan wanted sharper note against
| Germany than President Wilson was
willing to sanction, but it does not ex.
pect friendly attitude towards Ger
many from the president. The paper
concludes:
1T must be growing clear to some OF
the leading men in America that Amer
lea is playing an unenyiable role in fol-
lowing in Englands wake. America will
certainly have no success with as by
adopting England's staIwart tone.
mir. Bryan and Mr., Wilson are en-
gagged in giving reconsideration to the
case. The more thoroughly they do it,
all the better it will be for America"
Cologne via London, June l0.--The
koelnisehe zeitung discussing Mr., Bry-
ans resignation says:
1T would be natural to connect the
event with the diplomatic interchange of
views proceeding between the United
States and Germany regarding the sink
ing the Lusitsna. But it were well
first to await express confirmation of
this from Washington.
lit cannot be assumed that the cause
of the resignation must lie substantially
in differences of opinion between Presi-
dent Wilson and Mr.. Bryan, perhaps in
the domain of foreign politics II must
not be forgotten, however, that Mr.. Bry-
an plays an important role in the do.
nestle politics of America.
"The wishes of German Americans will
be FULFILLED If henceforth America shows
true neutrality and forbids the exporta-
tion OF munitions; they would then have
achieved splendid success"

CALLS BRYAN A GUTTER.
Says He Saw That United States Was
Becoming Embroiled.

When Mr.. Wilson became president II
1913 he decided to take Bryan into
camp. They had enjoyed little in com
mon. Wilson had expressed to Adrian
II. Joline only a few years before, the
pious wish that Bryan might be knocked
into a cooked hat. And yet Wilson owed
his own entry to the White House to
the Nebraskan, and what was more
Wilson found Bryan necessary to give
him Democratic party. Senseless as
the blind allegiance of the Democratic
masses to Bryan has been, its existence
could not be denied. So long ago a.
1905, at a reconciliation dinner in New
York, intended to bridge over the chasm
created by their recent silver fight, some
wag-realizing that Mr.. Bryan was on
the high seas and out OF reach of any
form of unication--hurried into the
gathering message purporting to come
from Bryan, soemnly warning the as
sembled diners against disregard of the
six and half million western Demo
Gratis" Everybody there "fell for it,"
The speakers were amazed at the strange
improperly of such an invasion of their
program, but they adjusted themselves
TO it by concilistory remarks. Not until
the next day did they realize that it had
been a hoax, or that there were not six
and a half million western Democrats
in the country and never had been. The
episode is worth recalling as typical of
Bryan's strange possession of the Dem
cratic imginationo at least Of that
vacancy in which other people lodge the
imaginative quality. Wilson, realizing
all this, annexed Bryan. The presi-
dent knew that he had slipped into the
Baltimore platform the one-tetm proyiso.
] he president knew that Bryan was be-
hind the movement in Congress for a
constitutional amendment thus TO limit
the presidential tenure, incidents point
ing to Mr.. Bryan's desire for the presi
Dental nomins ton for himself in 1915,
when he would expect Mr.. Wilson TO re-
ciprocate for the stroke of Mr.. Brysns
hand which had decreed the presidency
in 1912.

taken a position in his communications

AFRO-AMER|CAN CU[[|NCS

In a bulletin prepared by the bureau
of the census. which shows the stand
ing of the Negro race in this country
at the time OF the last census, five
facts stand out to the credit OF Ne
groes, and to the country at large
The report shows an increasing ten
dency among Negroes toward home
ownership. a marked increase in the
percentage of schools, a decided de-
crease in the percentage of illiteracy'
a decrease In the mortality rate, ana
an increase in the proportion OF
church membership. Another feature
in connection with the report worthy
of special notice is that all the work
on 1t. including the preparation OF
the statistical tables, as well as the
clerical work. was done by Negro EN-
ployees of the department.
In 1890 the Negro population OF the
United States was 757,2OS, which at
that time was 1913 per cent of the to-
tai population Of the country. In 1910
the Negro population was 9.S27.I63, or
1O.7 per cent OF the total population.
1t should be remembered in this con
nection, however. that since 1910 there
has been practically no Negro imml-
grafton into this country, while the
white population has been constantly
augmented by the inflow of immi.
grants from Europe. The report
shows that 992 per cent of all Negroes
in the United States in 1910 were ma
tives of native parentage, while the
remainder were of foreign or mixed
foreign and native parentage. Thus
IL would appear that the race Is In no
danger from dying by the slow process
of race suicide.
For several years associations inter
ested in the advancement of the Ne
gro race have urged on southern Ne
groes the advantage of owning their
homes. The Negro is naturally home
loving. He is not by nature inclined
to rove from the place where he has
attained maturity, yet 1t was found
that the number of Negroes who
owned their homes was small. This
movement seems to have met with the
| approval of the Negroes, especially In
the southern states. In 1910 there
were in these states l,9l7,39l Negro
homes, of which 430,449. or 22.4 per
cent, were owned by Negroes. In
Virginia the percentage rises to 4l.3'
but the Negroes farther south appear
to be slower to adopt the home-buying
plan, for in Georgia the percentage
drops to l4.7. The total increase
however, is substantial. and this is
hopeful sign which should give en-
couragement to all interested in the
progress of the race.

The world is accustomed to marvel
at the progress made by the Japanese
and by the Germans during the last
half century, and rightly. But here
in the United States race has moved
forward no less triumphantly. The
drama of the American Negroes ad-
vancement, 1t is true. has not been ac-
companied by military glamour with
its martial music. nor has 1t had the
literary stimulus OF great racial con.
sciousness.
But for all the quietness and unob-
trusiveness OF this upward movement.
the victories OF the Negro have an i'm
mense meaning for the welfare Of the
world The Negroes have succeeded
in the arts OF peace. Individually,
generation by generation. they have
become more fit for the great struggle
of contemporary life. They have ac-
complished the miracle OF lifting a
people en- masse

For twenty years Hampton institute
has been sending out into the South a
band OF well trained tailors-men who

OF boys clubs and the improvement
of civic conditions. Today one finds

count Of their rigorous years OF az
premiership, have learned how to use
their native powers.
Whether as journeymen or as pro-
prietors, the tailors who have gone
out from the school have done, on the
whole. uncommonly we'll" says the
Southern Workman. THAT the South
offers young Negroes an opportunity
to succeed in the tailoring business
is clear from the fact that many Of
the Hampton tradesmen have re-
ceived, without difficulty and without
prejudice, the patronage OF some Of
the very best southern white people.
Hampton has succeeded In the tailor
ing department In training men who
cannot only make their fellows out

In the decade from 1900 to 1910 the
number OF homes owned by Negroes in
the southern states Increased by 1922
912. or 31.4 per cent. In 1910 in Ala
bama 17,227 farm homes and 1914
other homes-chieny in urban com
munities-were owned by Negroes.
In Tuskegee pamphlet 1t is stated
that 100000 Negroes In the South are
seriously III all the time; that the an
nual cost of sickness of these 100000
Negroes is 75.00000O; that one-halt
OF this sickness is preyentable; that
the annual economic loss to the South
from sickness and death among the
Negroes is $500, 100000.
This whole question is OF great eco
nomic importance and the white peo'
pie OF the South should stand ready to
assist the Negroes in this better
health movement"
