A NOBLE ALLY.
By Benjamin V. Longdon.

As we visited the home of the Kan
sas City Sun last week and saw the
staff at work from the editor down,
we were reminded that centuries ago
such honorable workers were de-
spised. 1t is said that Sir Walter
Scott was obliged to conceal his bust
ness partnership in the publishing
house of Constable Brothers in order
to preserve his social standing. The
whole of the past is n long, dark
story of the despising of honorable
workers and the exaltation Of gilded
idlers. What makes it worse is the
undoubted fact that people really did
not know better. Then the press, the
noble ally giving itself without stint
or apology to the people who were
making a noble fight for sobriety, de
cency and morality, was unrecognized.
But the clouds have vanished. Under
the influence of Christian teaching
we see nowadays the need Of a worthy
publication. 1t is quite impossible to
understand u time, our institutions,
business enterprises, without read
ing a Negro newspaper. One reason
why so many crude, ill-digested views
are so widely accepted is found in

the widespread ignorance Of what is
being accomplished by our energetic
men and women.
For instance, the state and national
meetings held in Kansas City, Mo,
during this month found a noble ally
in the Sun. From day to day it held
up to the public eye the personnel
and proceedings Of the daily sessions.
It's news and editorial columns were
constantly in service to bring to light
the ways of those who promote and
protect the fraternal, religious, bust
ness and professional side of our peo-
pie. The Sun is among the foremost
of our newspapers of the land, and
it leads in the courageous and insist
ent advocacy of everything that con-
tributes to advertising the worthy
achievements of the Negro. Yea, The
Sun is in the fight for a nobler race,
and the individual, white or black, on
the firing line of progress, has in The
Sun a noble ally.
Then hail to the Pressl chosen
guardian of Freedom!
Strong sword-arm Of justice! bright
sunbeam Of truth;
We pledge to her cause (and she has
but to need them),
The strength Of VI manhood, the
fire of our youth"

 TWO COUNTRIES
Alliance Now Entered into by Russia and the Japanese Is a
 Real Pact.
IS STRONG AGREEMENT

TOKYO. Aug 1O.-Three chief ob- jects are attained by the recently concluded alliance between Japan and Russia, according to the ideas of well.informed political circles in Japan.
 The first is the mutual elimination of the menace of hosulities between tho two empires which has existed for more than half a century and which was not completely eradicatod by the Russo-Japanese war.
 The second is the strengthening of each others hand in dealing with the situation in China. and the afflliatIon of their special interests in that country and the Far East generally.
 The third is the relieving Of Rus. sia's anxiety as to the protection of her rights and spheres of influence ln the Far East and the consequent strengthening of her power Co con. centrato on the situation in tho Bal kaus and In Persia, which she be- lieves vitally concerns her future.
 As to tho third point, a leading Japanese journal declares. voicing an opinion held by diplomats:
