The donkey was following the farmer
wife round the yard one day, and the
farmer, turning to Pat, said:

"Och," said Pat, "shure, and it's not

her, sir."-EXchange.

Enemies of the Negro

THE attitude of certain rabid southerners in
\ i congress toward the negro is being constant
iy emphasized. They intend he shall have no fed
eral Offices under Democratic administration, ii
they can help it. They also wish to cut off all
appropriations for the Negroes benefit. The fight
that Senator Nardaman of Mississippi made
against any federal appointments for negroes will
,betesalied President Wilson steadfastly opposed
Senator Vardaman in that regard, which is sup
3posed 10 explain Nardaman's motive for fighting
.Hte President measures such as the pending
ship bill. y 10
When, at the last session Of 5Ft6ngress, bill for
further appropriations for farm demonstration
work was in it's last stages, southern senators
sought to phrase it that colored agricultural
colleges such as there are in certain of the south
EN- States, would be excluded Northern Demo
Gratis and Republicans fought this but the bill
became law in form not altogether satisfactory
to friends of the colored race.
On top of this and several other like incidents,
Representative Sisson of Mississippi the other
day compelled the house to omit federal appro-
priation of SOL 900 toward the support of Howard
University colored institution in this city. Con-
gress has been making such appropriations for
years, but it seems there proper author
izaton of these expenditures, SO that "a point of
order would lie" Sisson, as rabid toward the
negro as Vardaman, and belonging to a type OF
politician that keeps in Office by agitation ovet
the negro, was obdurate against appeals from the
house.
"As Southern man." said Representative Sher-
ley Of Kentucky, with the southern viewpoint
upon the race problem, with considerable doubt as
20 the efficiency and the benefits that flow from
much of the education offered the negro, | am
willing to close the door of hope in his face, and

;ion for him is time and money wasted. do not
believe there is any considerable body Of men any
where in the South who desire in any way to cur
tail this movement to help the negro forward to a
broader, higher, better vision and thereby make
him better citizen of the country"
",The South is doing much for the negro" said
Representative Gillett of Massachusetts,, speaking
to the same topic. "The North is doing much also
myself as executor of an estate in the last few
years transferred to institution in the South in
one sum over 100000 which client had left tc
it for the education OF the negro-the savings of
pure, self-sacrifcing, self-denying simple life anc
it seems to me that when that philanthropy is
being shown both in the North and in the South
it would be a singular and ungracious act to picl
out this one object for which we have been appro
priatng many years and make point of order
against it,"
Nevertheless Mr. Ssson insisted and the item
for Howard University went out of the bill. Their,
is every expectation that the senate will put il

leading teachers of the Japanese schools of the
Territory, the object Of the convention being the
revision Of the text books IN use in the private

heretofore in use have been imported from Japan
and, naturally, have been prepared solely with the
view of instructing the youthful users to become
loyal and patriotic subjects Of the Mikado and
useful citizens of the Empiree of Japan In, these
books, naturally there has been nothing of tho
American spirit, nothing of the principles o.
democracy, nothing to fit the Hawaiian Japanese
student for the place to be occupied by him later

This lack has been pointed out by portion
of the Hawaiian-Japanese press. The necessity

by visiting Japanese statesmen and pubicists. The
suggestion that Washington may decide to de.

cause of the nearing possibility of political con-

made on frequent occasions, and the Japanese are
moving to meet it in the most practical way, by
demonstrating that the ideals of the Japanese pa
rents have altered and that it is the desire now
to have their American-born children reared as
Americans and educated for their American birth

This action of the Japanese teachers rejecting
the desires of the Japanese residents, is the best
possible answer to those who profess to fear the
day of Japanese domination politically, and the
gathering of these teachers is convincing evidence

Mr.. Clark's Ascende11cv

i seems that Speaker Clark may enter upon a
leadership in congress soon, which he has not
hitherto exercised The manner in which he stood
forth before the Democratic caucus was regarded
in many quarters as quite refreshing 1t was in
stout advocacy of "team work." which as every
body in Washington familiar with politics knows
notwithstanding slurs and sings to the contrary
is very essential to successful administration
There must be unity and cohesion if political
party is to maintain its prestige. And when
Speaker Clark told his frisky house Democrats
that if they did not stand together behind the Pres
ident, whether they approved entirely what he ad-
vocated or not, they would be wandering again
long in the wilderness just they did for sixteen
years after the last Cleveland administration, he
spoke mighty truth.
b. The speaker of course has dssented from some
of the Wilson policies. He made powerful speech
against the Canal Tolls Bill. There have been
suspicious that the speaker unduly nurSed crouch
over his defeat at Baltimore, when the nomination
seemed within his grasp. He has been overshad-
owed considerably in house proceedings by Major
ity Leader Underwood, who, in a few days, be
comes a senator from Alabama. The speaker has
been on friendly terms with the White House but
apparently not on very cordial terms. Mr.. Under
wood appears to have been closer to the President
and has been at the White House offices more FIRE
quently to talk about prospective programs. And
yet Mr.. Underwood has been lukewarm about sev
eral measures the President has advanced. He wa:
indifferent about the Federal Reserve Law ant
also about strengthening the antitrust laws as he
is now lukewarm about the ship bill.
Normally Representative Fitzgerald of New
York, chairman of the appropriations committee
would be much in the Presidents confidence, but
he never has been. There is GOODNESS between
them. And, although the house, as a body, has
stood very loyalty by the President the last two
years, the leadership there has not been aggres
sively loyal as might have been expected. The
situation has been saved by the very large Demo
cratic majority, Now when the majority is to be
reduced by more than one hundred votes in; the
house of the next congress, the President undoubt
eddy will need friendly leaders there more thar
ever
Representative Claude Ktchin, who succeeds tC
the majority leadership by virtue of his seniority
position ways and means, has started off witt
his left foot lie is all but openly antagonizing the
President on the ship bill. But Speaker Clark
steps right out, says he is not over enthusiastic
about government ownership but he does believe
in team work and he wanted the house to put the
ship bill through in a hurry, which the house did
And the speaker is thus grasping the scepter o.
leadership in the house more firmly than it ha'
been held there for long time. He promises tc
be President Wilson's first lieutenant during the
stormy times ahead for the next two years.
