ADVICE FROM TUSKEGEE.

The tWentysiXth annual Tuskegee
Negro Conference in session at Iuske'
gee, Alabama, last week, made up OF
representative members of the race
from all parts of the South, went on
reco,d as in favor of colored men and
women remaining below the Mason
and Dixon line. This despite the fact
that higher wages are paid in the
North than in the South. Speakers
at the conference conceded, however,
that greater opportunities await the
negro people in the South because OF
the unlimited possibilities OF It's de-
velopment. To this end those who at
tended the meetings at Tuskegee urge
that members Of their race remain In
the South and CLEAN the Dement'S TO pe
derived. Also, the negroes are advised
to stay on the farm.
The new South is in it's infancy. 1t
is therefore an inviting field to all
those who would labor and remain IN
a given locality. Ninety per cent. Of
are in the South, as pointed out py
speakers at the Tuskegee conference.
There are yet farms that may be OBJ
tanned at comparatively small outlay
and expense and even some that may
be had on a fifty-fifty basis, through
working them for their owners. The
main fault found with some Of the
farms already in possession of the
negroes of the South is that these
lands have been devoted almost ex-
/ clusively to the raising of cotton and
tobacco, crops that are more in the
nature of speculative goods. The men
who have given study to the
problems of the negro race are unan1-
NOUS in the opinion that the owners
Of such land should give more time
and attention to a diversity of crops,
and the cultivation of their own food
supplies.
Booker T. Washington, the founder
Of Tuskegee institute, advised the
negro to shake off his rowing DISPOSE
ton and settle down to responsible
| work. This has ever been the aim OF
the institute that is now carrying on
his work, to inculcate in the race the
| spirit of thrift and responsibility that
! comes with long years Of toll in ser1-
| Gus occupation. There are no better
farmers in the world than the negroes
! Of the South when they set about their
work in ambitious fashion. Truly
they are sons Of the soil. Those who
! have assiduously applied themselves
| can show some Of the prettiest little
| homes and farm lands in the South
! It is only in the cities and towns that
| the idle negro is to be now seen tc
| any marked degree. There, lured on
| by the pleasures and vanities Of life
| he usually becomes discordant ele-
| ment in the social scheme and causes
trouble both for himself and those In
| the community. The advice of the
men at Tuskegee is deep, sound, and
worthy of consideration.

TO THE EDITOR:-Throug mis-
understanding, one of the Omaha
newspapers recently printed story
in connection with the plans under con-
sideration of the Union Pacific Rail
road for the elimination of the un-
necessary passenger service, in which
it was said that the Union Pacific CON
temp'ated doing away with the extra
fare feature of some of its transcon-
tinental trains.
This last statement is incorrect
The Union Pacific does not contemp-
late making any change in its extra
fare train. Nevertheless this state
ment was given wide publication in
the Union Pacific territory and caused
much inconvenience both to the rail
road and to its patrons.
l will appreciate it therefore if YOU
will write an article to this effect and
give it as prominent publication as
possible in your paper.

for such it was, Attorney Roy 7.
Johnson, who is always at home act
ing as toastmaster, made the an
nouncement that short program
would be carried out, before the hall
was cleared for the dance that would
follow in honor of Sedgwick county S
soldier boys. The first on the program.
was reading by Mrs. C. F. Parker.
Mrs. Parker can always be counted
Upon to acquit herself in an admirable
way. and gave patriotic reading
which was greatly appreciated by the
banqueters.
The toastmaster briefly stated that
one of the speakers had been assirne,
The subject of "Whv did not Enlist
ard Jarles H. Dawson was introduced.
Mr.. Dawson answered the subject
given him in a thorough manner,
and with his humorous remarks won
a hearty applause.
Toastmaster johnson next intro
duced Prof. Geo P. Young, assigning
him the subject of "Who will take
Care of G. SIS girls while he is in
the army fighting for Uncle Sam"
Prof. Young very briefly answered
in an emphatic manner that thev
would be safely cared for.
The last speaker scheduled on the
program was I'd A. Fry of the Scdc-
wick Sun, his subject being "If Mr..
Fry was in France Would he Want
the Sedgwick Sun Sent to him." You
will realize dear reader, that this
was a most delicate subject for our
contemporary, and although Editor
Fry got far off from his subject and
wended his way into the fields of
matrimony, he acquitted himself in a
creditable manner. Mr.. Fry sprung
new one in devising ways and means
for the young ladies to get married
and informed them that he had con-
cluded to run matrimonial bureau.
In conclusion Mr.. Fry gave the ad-
vice that the boys should have the
Sedgwick Sun sent to them while in
France, thus affirming his subject.
After Mr.. Fry had finished, Mr.. A
F. Perrier took the floor and made a
few remarks in regard to the honored
boys, and presented John Engelker
and Dominique Robert. the two young
men who would go as the first con-
tingent of Sedgwick county's quota
Great applause was given the boys as
they stood. Following Mr. Perrier's
remarks Toastmaster johnson made
some very impressive remarks to the
effect that it was great pleasure
to all present to do honor to all the
boys who would soon leave to ioin
