ROOSEVELT LEADS, WE FOL-
LOW,

The Twin City Star, which has beer
considered as the leading Negro
newspaper of the Progressive Party
and an enthusiastic supporter oi
Col. Theodore Roosevelt and hi:
policies, continues to follow his lead
We heartily accept the advice oi
Americas greatest citizen, and will
support the regular presidential nom
inee of the Republican National Con-
vention, Hon. Chas. E. Hughes, and
do what we can for the success of the
Republican ticket. We are not in
accord with the entire platform of the
party The suffrage question, as a
States Rights measure, will not give
the Negro women of the South a
right to vote. We are against any
program giving State right to
override the Constitution. We had
hoped to see some plank in its plat
form recommending legislation to
make 'Lynching a Federal Crime" "
We cannot get our constitutional
rights under State Sovereignty, and
must rely on Federal legislation and
enforcement for our protection. The
Republican party has done more for
us than any other party and we must
overcome its evils with its good; still
contending for right and protesting
against wrong-believing in Divine
Providence and thankful that Col.
Roosevelt has accomplished his ulti-
mate purpose, which was also his
prophecy-that he would drive out of
the Republican party, those who cor
rupted the principles of the party.
We regret the loss of friend, of
cur race on the Supreme Bench, by
the resignation of Justice Hughes
which gave Pres. Wilson an oppor-
tunity to appoint a Democrat-and
fate may decree that by his appoint
ment we may have Justice White
or Justice Harlan. Though Demo-
Gratis they were honest interpreters
of the law and spirit of the Consti-
tuition. 1t is up to the Negro to be
loyal to himself and the door of hope
will soon open to him. We have
awaited, orders and willingly obey the
requests of Col. Roosevelt, who led
us into the Progressive Party in 1912,
and we return to the Republican
ranks under the same leadership and
convictions. Let the slogan be
Hughes and Fairbanks must win"
and now that the Progressives have
accomplished their purpose, we ex-
pect large following, and a return
to the Grand Old Party, for its sue
cess in November next.

HOW HAMPTON INSTITUTE
TEACHES ART OF PRINTING
Students Trained In This Department
Become Efficient Race Leaders.

When a boy enters upon the print
Ing course at the Hampton Va.) in
st1tute he receives instruction In the
composing room in the names and uses
OF the common tools and materials
which viii form for four years a part
Of his daily life. He learns the posi-
ton In the case Of the boxes-elusive
small compartments-containing those
mysterious metal characters which
may give him more than one headache,
backache and even heartache before
he has mastered his so called P's
and Q's.
After he boy has learned his case
he Is put on straight composition
newspaper, book and magazine work
and masters some Of the problems of
spacing and justifying type, capitaliz-
ing and punctuating, paragraphing and
proof taking. This work requires usu-
ally one year and is followed by job
work.
The boy now learns how to handle
types so as to arrange with taste and
according to specific direction simple
forms, such as return addresses for
envelopes, business and visiting cards,
letter and bill heads. This work is
followed for six months by more diff
cult omposition-blanks requiring pan
els, tables, figure and rule work, box
headings for blank books, title pages,
pamphlet covers and such work as is
commonly done in commercial printing
shops.
Then there comes for three months
some interesting stone work-making
up and correcting pages, as well as
locking up job forms. The Hampton
printers receive, in short, two years of
profitable and interesting experience
In composing room work.
The Hampton trained printers who
have devoted one-third of their entire
hme-sixty three hours each week-to
academic studies have learned in four
years not only how to make a decent
living for themselves and their fami-
lies, but also how to serve their COM
munities as safe race leaders.

School Color Line In Florida Fails.
Judge Gibbs Of the circuit court of
Florida recently declared unconstitu.
tional the Florida law prohibiting
white teachers from teaching Negro
schools and Negro teachers from
teaching In white schools. He in
structed the authorities to release the
bondsmen Of several sisters in charge
Of convent schools, who had been held
for violation Of the law. Judge Gibbs
ruled that the state had no power over
private schools and could not legally
prohibit one race from instructing an.
other race. 81.

THE NEGRO EDITOR.

The Negro editor has to make much
OF the news he writes. The socia
clubs, the church, the fraternal or.
ganizations, all must feel his guiding
hand. He is expected to be in every.
thing and run errands for everyone
send out bills for subscription and
have them ignored; do all the lying
for harmony's sake, get his dog
kicked around, and hold the sack
He is guide, philosopher and friend
to those that are in trouble; mentor
and admonisher to those that are
about to get into trouble. The preach
er, the would-be-statesman, the social
climber, the dear girls, the wayward
boys; he must share all their troubles,
he is the confessor, the Negro boom
er, and the black goat, the door mat,
the rock of refuge, the lacky boy, and
the vicarous sacrifice. A Negro edi-
tor is the only creature in the wide
animal kingdom that needs the wings
of dove, the strength of lion, the
protective odor of a skunk, the
smooth crawling belly of the worm of
tn dust, and the aspirations of God.
The Seattle Searchlight.
He is the only animal that can exist
on newspaper, except the Billy-goat.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

AS county officials it was our su-
premely happy and fortunate lot to
touch elbows daily with our fellow
citizen, fellow official and neighbor,
Recorder W. G. Eaves. His sudden
call from earth on Tuesday of last
week, while not entirely unexpected,
brought to US, as it must have to his
thousands of friends, an unpleasant
shock.
We had hoped that the smiling,
cheerful countenance of our fellow Of
fetal and his words of counsel should
continue to be seen and heard in our
midst, for truly his presence was an
inspiration to all of us. There was in
his daily salutation something that
made our labors or worries so9fe@hat
lighter. Wy"
1t was helpful to know W. G. Eaves.
He cast ray of sunshine, even in his
Affections, upon us all.
1t is therefore resolved that it is
the sense of this committee of Coun-
ty Officials that the county of st.
Francois, in the death of Recorder
caves, has lost an official who de-
lighted in conseientiously serving his
constituents, who was ready, at alt
times to do more than was required
of him and one who took keen pleas
ure in striving to accommodate, serve
and please his constituents. u
1t is further resolved that we of
ficials have lost fellow servant and
co-employe whose friendship and char.
acter cannot be estimated in words:
that we mourn the passing of the de-
parted, faithful, friendly neighbor-.
the genial William G. Eaves.

AN APPRECIATED LETTER

In again subscribing for The Times,
A. J. Banes, who was for many years
an appreciated reader Of this paper,
says:
Enclosed please find 81, and send
me The Pennington Times one year.
l did not know it was as newsy as it
has been since it changed managers.
l think the paper is very much improv-
ed"
1t is such expressions as the above,
and they have been quite numerous of
late, that affords The Times editor ad-
ditional ardor and enthusiasm to
press forward, with redoubled zeal, to
make this paper just as readible as
possible--in fact to do our best to
make it an absolute household neces-
sity, whose very presence is a per-
sonal pleasure to every member of the
family. If the paper pleases you, we
hope you will make no special effort
to keep that fact concealed from us.
We like a bouquet, as we'll as "bis-
cult"

FOUR ROBINS ON
HOSPITAL LIST
Cutshaw, Smith, Miller
and Pfeffer Forced to
Stop Playing.

The Battle of Long Island may have
been fought on the present site Of
Ebbets Field, but Charles Holiday Eb-
bets is having little personal battle
of his own trying to keep away the
ink that has been pursuing the
Brooklyn Robins for the past few
weeks. Four men are now on the sick
list and 1t Is not likely that they will
get into the game for some time.
Sherro Smith and JEFF Pfeffer are
the moundsmen who are i'll. The
southpaw is down with tonsilitis and
has been forced TO remain indoors for
the past two days. Pfetfer is suffer
ing from a strained back, the first
inkling Of the trouble making itself
manifest In the fourth inning Of the
game last Tuesday. A similar ailment
is keeping Otto Miller, the clever
catcher, on the bench.
George Cutshaw, the second base
man, has again hurt the big toe on his
right foot, which has forced him 10
limp around. The Robins offensive
will suffer unless Gus Getz, who will
temporarily replace Cutshsw, displays
some Of last seasons form.
The big toe hodoo is apparently
again following Cutshaw.
When he came TO the Robins from
the Pacific Coast in 1911, his toe came
in contact with the iron that holds
down the keystone sack, and George
was kept out Of the game for several
weeks.
perceptible limp is noticeable when
Ivan Olson walks TO his position, the
trouble being a strained ankle which
has caused him considerable pain.
A short piece Of good pitching by
RUDE Vanguard last Tuesday pleased
Wilbert Robinson immensely. 1t is
probable that he will send the elong-
sted southpaw on the mound against
the pesky Cincinnati Reds in the last
game this afternoon.
1t was announced yesterday that
Wednesdays postponed game would
form part of a double-header, when
the Reds arrive for the first game Of
their series on Saturday, July %.
Yesteray's contest will probably be
played on the following Monday, in
another double attraction.
