PROGRESS AND DISCONTENT.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir-After attending a mass meet
ing at Ezion NJ. E. Church last Sun
day afternoon under the auspices Of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People. it moves
me to beg for a space in your paper
TO say something in the way of affirm
alton and congratulation. One of the
many good things that was said by
the speaker. Professor William Pick
ems, was the statement to the effect
that we should turn a deaf ear TO
those who would preach contentment
TO us. He is correct. The early col
onists Of America we're not content
meekly to bow down to the injustice
Of taxation without representation,
and they swept the divine right Of
kings off every foot Of American soil.
Indeed, every advancement Of civiliz-
alton, every forward movement I'm
knowledge and culture and freedom.
has been achieved by the organized
discomfort Of men. breaking up the
old and outgrown systems of the past
and accepting in their stead new and
advanced ideas.
No more damnable error can be
conceived than that of teaching the
negroes 10 be content with their lot;
TO be satisfied with the coarsest food
with cheap furniture and bare walls;
to forego the pleasures of books and
paintings and music in their homes;
to be content with unhealthy tene-
ments, with shabby clothes: never to
penetrate beyond the smoke of fac
tories into Gods pure air nor listen
to the wOndrous melodies of feather
ed sOngsters In the woods, nor watch
the changing colors of his brush on
the floral canvas of the fields. or
azure evening skies; but always to
so on from morn until night starving,
with no prospect of comfort for the
evening Of life. Surely II is the YER
lest mockery TO preach contentment
10 the aged, poverty-stricken negro
worker, who finds young men crowd
ing him out as the years steal his
strength away. A time comes TO him
when he is thrown away like an out
worn tool or garment. the future looks
dark and forbidding. and he grows
tremulous with despair. His chit
dren are scattered far and wide. per-
haps dead. aud he is left sad and
alone and finally enters the poorhouse
to end what should have been a use
ful life. This is the picture that
stares thousands of colored (and even
some white) people in the face who
nave spent their lives in making this
country rich as II is today.
Discomfort is the mother OF pro-
gress. II is discomfort with the ex-
listing conditions that has caused
every forward step in the progress of
the human race. Let us hope for the
benefit Of the colored race that we
can make them discontented. Not the
discomfort that makes them bloody
revolutionists, hat the discontentment
that brings the revolution in the
minds, customs and habits.

FLIES AVOID BLUE.

A French scientist is authority for
the statement that flies have a dis
tinct objection to the colcr blue. This
was first discovered by a farmer who
keeps a large number of COWS in sew
eral sheds. One Of these sheds hap
pened to be painted blue on the in
side, and in this the COWS were little
troubled by flies. He 5lued all the
walls and thus protected all his COWS.
French farmers in the vicinity are
now adding a blue coioring to their
whitewash. Their formula is as fol-
lows: To twenty gallons of water add
ten pounds of Stacked lime and one
pound of ultramarine. The walls are
tinted twice during the summer.-The
