When once the South shall have en-.
abled its 10,OOO,000 Negroes to become
generally efficient, intelligent, thrifty,
self-reliant and Independent, the fabric
of southern industry will rest upon an
everlasting foundation and the South
will have solved in a spirit of Christian
benevOlence n problem which has
bafled the ages.
These are some things that the white
citizenry of the South and the Negroes
should never forget, and their impor-
lance will become palpably impressed
upon the minds of the thinking people
of both races before long, when our
immigration problems, due to restric-
tons and to the effect of the war, as

In its recent article by Junius B.
Wood and in editorial comment on
those articles, the Chicago Daily News
has called attention to the injury done
the colored race by its exploitation at
the hands of INSCRIPTIONS political
leaders, who as a means of gaining
for themselves give jobs to I'M
worthy colored men whom they con-
troll, the result of the practice being
injurious to the colored race as a
whole. 1t is a pleasure to record the
honoring of a different type Of rep
resentative of the colored race.
Col. Franklin A. DenisOn, who has
been appointed an assistant to Attor-
new General Brundage, stands on his
own high character and meritorious
achievements. He has striven to help
the colored race forward, not to drag
It down. His career as a useful citi-
zen not only reflects credit upon the
colored race, but furnishes to ambi-
tious youths of that race an example
of the way to win deserving success.

such an appointment as that of Mr..
Denison to a position on the staff of

There is no good reason why more
of our children should not be il school
and remain there for a greater length
Of time than has been the case. Not
only are our rural schools failing to
receive the proper consideration at the
hands of those who should be most
vitality concerned, but our secondary
educational institutions are not being
utilized and developed as they should
be. 1t seems but logical to conclude
in the face of foregoing statistics that
many of us are showing the unwisdOm
of cOmmercializing the most important
years of the life of our children at the
sacrifice of their future welfare. 1t
is a crime against humanity to take
the youth of a race and put it TO
hard commercial labor just when it
should be utilizing the advantages for
educational development and prepara-
ton for future usefulness. Texas has
taken a step forward in passing a
compulsory education law. Although
it may seem Il reflection on n people
that they should he forced to nae a
law compelling themselves to give
their children a chance to fit them
selves for life. yet it would be worse
than a reflection upon the state if it
suffered its youth to grow up in ig-
nOrance and unpreparedneSs. Nothing
will do more to Complicate the already
perplexing problems facing the people
than for the people themselves to in
dulge in the criminally in%eXpedient
policy of depriving the future citizens
of the state of a chance to qualify
themselves for citizenship. We as Il
race must quit living to much in the
future and begin to live more for the
future. Selfshness always brings it
consequent evils. 1t is pure s%elfishness
for any parent to take the school
hours. school years of his child and
turn them to n meager-this is all it
could be-material profit.

ROOSEYELTs COUNSEL.

Mr. Roosevelt has the gin OF stat
ing a principle IN a few direct, con
ylncing and unansWerable sentences.
Thus. in HIS Fourth Of July address,
he put the case for universal train
ing and service In the clear light Of
simple justice as between man and
man:
Universal suffrage should be based
on universal service In peace as well
as war Those Who refuse 10 render
the one should have no title to the en-
inymenf OF the other. We stand for
the democracy of service, we are
against privilege. therefore against
the privilege which would escape SER
vice in war.
This Is not new American doctrine
it WAS promulgated by Washington ln
the beginning of hts first administra-
lion with hiE own hand Washington
drafted q bin for universal training
and proposed that every able, bodied
American should take that training.
and unless he had a certificate of
service ln the militia he could not
vote.

law only partially and temporarily APP
plies that doctrine. Under that law
only "a certain class has been register
