The black is the only man that can

Referring to the struggles and sue

Rash of Kentucky said:

whiskered southern colonel surround
himself with cupbearers and lounge on
the broad veranda Of his colonial man.

Kentucky's marvellous mineral wealth

as the executive directing his staff In
any one Of the many manufacturing
enterprises spinging up within the
borders Of the commonwealth.
much has been written and said
concerning so called Negro problem
a great part Of this at long distance
and it may be that the first hand ex-
periences and observation Of a south
erner may be Of interest. As respects
the completeness Of information Of
many writer's on this subject, the av-
erage southerner cannot avoid regard
ing some statements as did the two
old Irish ladies. The archbishop had
preached a fine sermon on married
life and its beauties. The two old la
dies, both with figures and families Of
ample proportions, were heard coming
out of church commenting on the ad-
dress.
"'Tis q fine sermon his reverence
would be after givin' u.s. said one to
the other. 1T is, indade,' was the re-
ply, and I wish knew as little about
the matther as he does
"In expressing the belief that Negro
labor is one Of the greatest assets Of
southern industry it is devoutly to be
hoped that such expression will net be
considered in the light of an attempt to
point out any commercial advantage of
one section of the country. but rather
desire to present the idea Of the
thoughtful southerner of today and to
pay just tribute to the worthy southern
Negro.
"That remarkable man, Booker T.
Washington, pointed out to the people
of his race that their only hope lay In
work, hard work and efficient work. in
the fields, the forests, the factories and
the mines, in the Industrial school and
in the college and in the professions,
and to that end never ceased his call
to service. You will recall his wonder
full address at the opening Of the Cot
ton States exposition in Atlanta in
1895, which did more than any public
utterance of any man to temper suspi-
cion and race hatred and to bring
about a better understanding in the
south.
"While the utopian state in this un-
derstanding has not been reached and
may never be, yet nevertheless we are
day by day and year by year approach
ing Booker T. Washington's dream for
the south.
"Having had opportunity to observe
the application Of the Industrial prin-
ciples Booker T. Washington laid
down for the southern Negro, or. as to
that. for all peoples, 1t is gratifying to
bear testimony to the correctness Of
those ideas, If such testimony were
needed, in which the best thought Of
the south will join"

MINNESOTA CONGRESSMAN
FAVORS SHORTER HOURS
FOR THE MAN WHO
TOLLS.

CONGRESSMAN Thomas D. Schall,
representing the Tenth Minnesota
district, has taken up the defense of
the man who tolls and has been given
keen attention. Congressman Schall
says:
Yesterdays mistake warns Us
against the blunder of tomorrow.
Our mistake in the past has been an
endeavor to transform our workers
into high speed machines, without re-
gard for the economic waste to the
worker or to the race. Faster, faster.
faster, pile up the garments; heap I'D
the profits, no matter if rest and
health and proper food be denied the
weary laborer; no matter if girlish
forms be withered and the promise of
our national motherhood is blighted:
no matter If the cheeks pale and the
chest becomes hollow.
Cheap Labor Not Prosperity.
Cheap labor and long hours have
not helped to bring prosperity. The
laborer goes home at night too
weary to think after a long day of
toll, at underpaid wages, to a meanly
furnished, dark, unsanitary home, a
scant unnourishing supper and hum
py comfortless bed. He wakes early,
dons his sweaty clothes and with
them the hopeless, disspirited thoughts
that envelop them. What chance for
him to expand, to improve his mind,
to enjoy Gods fresh air and sunshine?
ut is not the question altogether
to the employer, how many shoes
are made, but how many shoes are
sold. Let us look to it that fewer of
our countrymen have shoeless feet.
With more leisure, more time for re-
Election, comes desire for improve
ment, for better living.
Greatest Good Real Aim.
The governments aim should be
the greatest good for the greatest
number. Shorten the day of labor.
Every movement toward the shorter
day for the laboring man is a move
ment toward his enfranchisement.
Every man should have the right
to work, the right to sleep and the
right to play. The problem that con-
fronts the United States today is to
Tighten the burden of the working
classes. The ideal of our country can
never be realized, we shall never cap
ture the spirit of liberty, while half
the people are starving and the other
halt faring sumptuously every day"

From the Department of the Pres,
National Association of Colored
Women's Clubs.
Easily, the greatest forward race
movement of the age is the National
Association of Colored Women's
Clubs, and the leading spirit among
them the President; Mrs. Booker T.
Washington. Emerging from the
gloom which has recently enveloped
her, she has apparently re-consecra-
ted her life to the uplift of the race,
and by her helpful messages of encour-
agement to club leaders all all over
the country is inspiring officers, de-
partment heads and members to a
greater activity than ever before been
evinced in the work.
The next Biennial will be held at
Baltimore, Nd, in August. Mrs.
Washington presiding.
This meeting bids fair to be the
most interesting in the history of the
Association. The meeting in 1912 at
Hampton was intensely interesting
and inspiring; that at Wilberforce in
1914 was wonderful and far reaching
in its effects - wonderful group of
women, showing a remarkable insight
in the philosophy of life and demon
strating a constructive ability which
portends wonderful results in the next
few years.
"On to Baltimore" Is the slogan OF
every race organization of women,
and where the women are the men
will likewise be found.
BY courtesy of the editor I shall
from time to time issue information
through the columns of this paper,
relative to the great Biennial at Bal
timore in August.

VALOR OF TENTH CAVALRY .
WINS GENUINE APPLAUSE
Famous Regiment First to Face En-
eny In Trouble With Mexico.

The New York Globe. commenting On
the valor of the Tenth United States
cavalry, says I'm its issue Of June %:
1t was a detachment Of the Tenth
cavalry, brigaded with ROosev elt's
rough riders, that had the honor of
suffering at Las Guasimas the first
casualties in the war for the liberation
Of Cuba. 1t is the same Tenth that
has the honor of suffering the first
casualties in war which, If 1t occurs,
will result. let us hope. in the liberia
ton Of Mexico from an anarchy com
parable to that which afflicted Cuba.
The Tenth cavalry Is recruited from
Americans Of African descent. Its
stalwart troopers have an excess of
pigment in their skin. They are men
Of color. But though their complex
ions are dark there Is no lack Of Amer
icanism in their hearts. Members of
a race that has had and still has good
grounds for complaining Of the justice
Of their fellow citizens Of paler faces,
no hyphenism taints them. The flag
is their fiag-the flag of Lincoln. not
Of Vardaman. and they are the first to
defend It.
The Tenth is not only a credit to the
race Of which its members are com
posed, but to the country whose uni
form they wear. The famous regi-
ment's valor and manliness furnish a
sufficient answer to the narrow mind
ed race haters who Judge men not by
what they are, but how they look.
