In 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, marked increase in the
percentage of schools, decided de-
crease in the percentage of illiteracy,
a decrease in the mortality rate, and
an increase in the proportion OF
church membership. Another feature
in connection v 18th the report worthy
of special notice is that all the work
on it, including the preparation oil
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 ,20S, which at
that time was 1913 per cent of the to-
tai population of the country. In 1910
the Negro population was 1927, 763, or
10.7 per cent of the total population.
1t should be remembered in this con-
nection, however, that since 1910 there
has been practically no Negro immi-
grafton into this country, while the
white population has been constantly
augmented by the inflow of immi-
grants from Europe. The report
shows that 99.2 per cent of all Negroes
in the United States in 1910 were ma
tives of native parentage, while the
remainder were of foreign OF mixed
foreign and native parentage. Thus
it 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 it 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 1917 1871 Negro
homes, of which 430,449, or 22.4 per
cent, were owned by Negroes. In
Virginia the percentage rises to Alb,
but the Negroes farther south appear
to be slower to adopt the home-buying
plan, for in Georgia the percentage
drops to 14.7. The total increase
however, is substantial, and this is
a hopeful sign which should give en-
couragement to all interested in the
progress of the race.

Rule of War Must Be obeyed.

Washington. - President Wilson's
note to Germany informs the Kaiser's
government that the United States
will leave nothing undone to obtain
a compliance with its request that
Germany adhere to the international
rules of warfare when attacking mer-
chant ships on the high seas. The
note is regarded here as the strongest
representation that the United States
possibly could make with reference to
the sinking of the Lusitania and the
Gulflight and other offenses affecting
America.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-An attempt to
murder George Weller a shoemaker,
and his wife and six little children
was made when unknown persons set
off two blasts of giant powder against
a wall of their home. The roof of
the house was lifted and shattered and
all windows broken, but none of the
occupants were injured. The charges
exploded thirty seconds apart and
were so powerful that windows 200
yards distant were shattered. The
cement block wall of the house, how
ever. was hardly MARRIED.

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 a race has moved
forward no less triumphantly. The
drama of the American Negroes ad-
vancement, it is true, has not been &C
companied by a military glamour with
its martial music, nor has it had the
literary stimulus of great racial con-
seriousness.
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
have not only been able to make good
clothes, but also have been able to
help their communities in church and
Sunday school work, the management
of boys clubs and the improvement
of civic conditions. Today one finds
in positions of responsibility and trust
Hampton trained tailors who, on &C.
count of their rigorous years of ap-
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 WELL" 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
wardly more attractive, but also bet
ter in character"

Party Too Small for Teddy and Foe

Syracuse, N. Y.-Charles w. Hutch
ms, Jr., New York lawyer, declared
on the witness stand that in July, 1914,
Theodore Roosevelt had told him that
he agreed that the issues of 1912 were
dead and that he would "go after
President Wilson in his Pittsburg
speech and tear him to pieces" Mr..
Hutchins quoted Colonel Roosevelt as
saying, however, that after what had
happened in Chicago in 1912, the Re-
publican party was not big enough for
both him and William Barnes.

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 1927 farm homes and 1914
other chiefly in urban COM
munities-were owned by Negroes
In Tuskegee pamphlet it is stated
that 100000 Negroes in the South are
seriously i'll all the time; that the an
nual cost of sickness of these 100000
Negroes is $75,OOO0O0; that one-half
of this sickness is preventable; that
the annual economic loss to the South
from sickness and death among the
Negroes is $300,000,000.
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"
