Congressman Caraway, of Ar kansas, has introduced a Bill, in Congress, to bar negroes from the army and navy of the Unit ed States, and makes the argu- ment in support of his measure the fact that there is always friction between the white and negro troopers. Owing to the swaggering, clustering disposi- tion of the negro, in authority, or backed by authority, general ly his conduct becomes intoler- able; but there is another phaze to the question at issue. If war should actually break out be tween this country and some other that would call for every available man we had, such a law, as Mir. Caraway proposes, might be found a mountain in our path. 1t would be very difficult job to get the white men of this country, and especi- ally of the South, to leave their homes and families behind, and go to the front, and leave the able bodied negroes at home. If MT. Caraway can only frame his Bill so that 1t will apply only in times of peace, there should be no objection to 1t from any source; but in case ot actual war the negro should be formed in to negro companies and sent to the front, and made to do their part ot the fighting, and not be left behind as a menace to the unprotected women. That the negro can be seggre- gated in the army, just as we'll and easily as in the schools, churches, railroad cars and other places, we see no good reason. This plan, successfully carried out, would avoid all friction be- tween white and negro troopers,
 
 and would be better for both of them. If we knew, positively, that we would never have war we would need no negro sold iers, nor any other kind; but as this is something no man can foretell, Congress had better go slow in absolutely barring the negro from the army.

Some Boys and Girls Hadn't
 Thought Of This.

Don't spatter pint of brains over the vast field of art, science and literature. Don't think that smattering,,of Greek and Latin, Athletics and college yells make one learned man or fits him for business, and don t hitch a business brain to Greek lexicon. Many man becomes nothing by trying to become all. The shot gun uses much more ammunition than the rifle, but 1t isn't half as effective except on little game.
 If you wanted to be a dentist you would not attend a law school. If you wanted to be eye, ear, nose and throat specialist, you would not attend theologi- cal school. If you wanted to be a lawyer you would not attend a medical university. Why not ap- ply the same good common sense if you want to be business man or woman and attend college that makes a speciality of thoroughly preparing graduates by giving them complete course in any or all of the fol lowing subjects: Bookkeeping, Salesmanship, Shorthand, Steno- typewriting, Money and Bank ing, Corporation, and Finance, Taxation and Public Finance, Private Secretaryship, Advertis- ing, Business Law, Business Eng fish, Commercial Arithmetic, Real Estate and Insurance, Commercial History, Higher Accounting, Economies, Parlia- mentary Law, Managerialship, Cotton Chasing, Telegraphy, and Station Work, Etc.
 The professions are all over crowded; it requires half a life time to succeed in them, and a fortune to begin success. With business it is not so. The aver age business man earns $27 ,OOO.- 00.more than the professional man in the average earning period of life. Get busy; do things; life's too short for busi ness men to spend effort on dead languages and other things two thousands years old, when living issuses and golden opportunities are calling them on. The above subjects are the things that busi- ness men should know and they must be learned in g practical business office and training school like the Tyler Commer- clal College of Tyler, Texas. A school that has for years studied the demands of the business of- flee and Is meeting them. Young friends, there is no walk of life that you can persue as success fully without a business training as with it. Write today for cat alogue and begin thinking ser iously of your preparation for life's duties.
 Next week this paper will publish interesting statements from many of America's great est statement and business men as to the value of a business training. Read 1t. advt

DermOtt Got Fridays Game.

With tight squeeze, Dermott took Fridays game from Monti- cello by the close score of l to O.. It was Monticello's first shut-out this season, and this was caused by an unexpected accident, when Trammell, for Dermott, knocked pop up, which crossed the fence, by a close margin, just in- side the right field foul line. The game, throughout, was a pitch CTS battle, and both Francie, for Dermott, and Bowen, for Monti- cello, did fine work. Our catcher, Shinault, was out of the game, on account of crippled finger, but Schoppey, one of the Monti- cello pitchers, stood behind the bat, and performed we'll. He, also, got two of the hits.
