In part, Secretary Polk says in his
note to Mexico:
This government believes and sug-

satisfactory to both governments of
the question set forth in your excel

ed, the commission may also consider
such other matters, the friendly ar
rangement of which would tend to i'm
prove the relations of the two coun-
tries; it being understood that such
recommendations as the commission
may make shall not be binding upon
the respective government until
! formally accepted by them.
Should this proposal be accepted

appoint its commissioners and fix,
after consultation with your excel

and other details of the proposed con-

Price of Sugar still scars.

The wholesale price of sugar is
higher today than it was in August,
IVA, when the sensational rise in
cdent to the breaking out of the
European war created sugar panic
In every home in the land.
Last week the wholesale price was
around $50 cents pound. where it
has stood for several days. Expert
opinion now is that 1t will go to s
cents or even higher. This means
that within the next six weeks the Ill
Innate consumer will probably be
paying 10, and perhaps IL cetns
pound for sugar. No prospective re-
lief is in sight until the new domes-
tic sugar crop comes on the market,
which will be around August LIST.
The United States at present is ex-
porting refined sugar to practically
every nation in Europe and ship
munls have even been made To South
America, South Africa and Russia.
Since January /. exports of refined
sugar from Atlantic ports totalled
-"IuiS tons, as compared with So
loo tons exported in 19l5.and 4,9l6
tons In 1914 Total exports of refin-
ed 7ugar from the United States for
II" present year. it is estimated, will
exceed 500. 900 tons.
In these circumstances the Ameri-
can people will have to look to their
own domestic sugar industry for hope
OF relief II they do not continue
paving record breaking prices for SUI
gar the larger part of this year, 1t
Will be because of our home-g grown
sugar Fortunately. there Is pros
poet with favorable weather for
planting and harvesting, of the larg-
est domestic sugar crop in our his
tory. which will save the people mil
Hons of dollars. The total acreage
for 1916 of this crop will be about
7SIG23 acres. as compared with GIL
3ol acres last year, an increase of
l7G.a22 acres.
This is mighty good time for the
people to reflect upon the promises
OF the seaboard refiners to congress
sometime ago, that If congress would
put sugar on the free list-thus de-
stroying the domestic sugar industry
they would guarantee to furnish
sugar to the American people at a
slow price" Their present heavy
exports, which are the sole cause of
the excessively high prices now pre-
yailng In this country. show about
what their guarantee would have
been worth.

SOME TRUTHS WELL
TOLD.

Extracts from the Address OF
Rev. B. N. Murrell, before
the Minneapolis Sunday
Forum.
The race, that forgets God, is
soon forgotten.
Whatever Our calling, so long
as we lack self-reliance and de-
pend on each other, we shall be
dependent.
If you are not honest, decent
and respectable; take your seat
with those who are not. Be real!
We must discover Our own
weaknesses and make amends.
Girls should get ready for the
great responsibility of woman
hood, and contribute to the gen.
Grafton to follow.
Let the results of your efforts
be measured with those of the
other races. Be efficient!
Be honest! Lay claim only to
that which you have earnestly
and honestly obtained, and al
ways respect the possessions of
the other man. .

an equitable share Of the school funds.
his life was jeopardized.
After pastoring successfully in Geor-
gia the Rev. DR.. White was sent to
the Virginia conference and then to
Washington, where he also did con-
structive work for his denomination
He built Lane chapel in Northeast
Washington and became potent fac
tor in reaching the unreached in that
section Of the capital. Later he was
transferred to Philadelphia, where he
was presiding elder for two years.
Since then he has with pronounced sue
cess pastored in other parts Of Penn
sylvania and New Jersey.
The remarkable enthusiasm of the
conference at the Wesley church was
largely due to DR.. Whites achieve
ments since he has been In this city.
When he came here two years ago the
church building was in a dilapidated
condition. He organized the members
of the church, and they loyalty follow
ed him to the extent that this congre-
cation now has an edifice which re-
fleets credit upon them. Recently an
annex was added to the church at q
cost Of $4,000, and several organiza-
tions Of the church have equipped the
entire plant with electric lights. "A
large gas range has been put in the
kitchen. The main auditorium has
been beautifully renovated, and an
inspiring churchly atmosphere pre-
walls. DR.. White believes In Negro
brain and skill, and the entire work
was done by Negro contractor.
The ministers Of Camden received
their share of praise from the confer
ence because Of the splendid work the
ministers Of the race in this city are
doing through their organization, the
Ministerial alliance. which was organ
lied by DR.. White. This body Of able
men, with the assistance Of the local
Negro Business league, in 1915 stopped
the play entitled "The Niger" from
showing in this city.
The Rev. DR.. White has received
many honors. He is a strong force in
the economic, social and religious ac-
tivities Of Camden. He has certain
ly made himself an element for good
in the affairs Of the local government
and has helped to better local condi-
tisns among our people. Because Of
his consistent and inspiring efforts and
training Livingstone college, the lead
ing institution of his church, will also
confer the degree of doctor of divin-
ity on him. Being man Of strong
qualities and endowed with the ability
to lead, he is one of the leading dele
gates to the general conference Of his
church which convenes in May at Lou
isville, Ky. He has won the admira
tion Of the better element of both races
wherever he has labored.
