Some Dallas doctors, men Of pro-
ficiency, who they are and where
they are, we mean Dallas boys who
rose from the ranks of the masses
and reached standing among the
new array Of proficiency. In every
issue of the daily papers, we see
the picture of some young white
officer who. has distinguished him
self In France in the time OF war
and is mentioned with preferment
and honor, and how this delights all
who are true Americans We are
proud OF these young white men, be-
cause they are ours, they are Amer
leans. they have red blood In them.
But we are also proud OF the young
Negro who Ii making good in the
time OF peace. and who Is ever seek
ing to find room at the top through
proficiency and capability. We are
not prepared to give their photos.
but we may mention them with some
degree Of pride Who is he that is
not proud Of young men OF merit
and distinctiot in any position and
in any profession? We always feel
like taking on our hat TO young
and rising young man. and in our
admiration OF him, we would take
off our hats IL we had as many heads
and as many hands as the fabulous
Briarious, who is said to have had
five hundred, we would reach up
and bring down all the hats from
the FIVE hundred heads in honor of
the young Negro who Is Just now
striving to be respectful, trying to
be moral. trying to be a man among
men OF the higher type where man
hood counts in the last analysis in
the spiritual essence OF the good and
the virtues.
In this connection, we wish to mem
ton a young man OF ability, both
native and acquired. who has
located In Philadelphia, and we wish
It could have been other wise, not
that we love Philadelphia less, but
that we love Dallas more. We can
III afford to have our young men of
ability and promise to leave our city,
we need them here. However, we
wish to congratulate the city OF Phil
adelphia upon her reception OF DR.,
C. NJ. d. Harllee as a man of literary
standing, who has taken the time to
qualify himself, and to be a just
pride to the profession which he
