A Curious story From Missouri
The presidents speech has had a
curious effect among the higher-edu-
Gated negroes scattered through the
northern states. Through these race
organs they are condemning the pres
ident for not also demanding social
equality for theE people. In Missouri
they are reported to be quietly work
ing on the Republican state leaders to
bring about the abollshment OF the
separate school system. Under the
laws of that state the directors OF each
school district which contains any ne
gro children of school age are requir-
ed to provide ,colnred teacher for
such district The teachers are train
ed at Lincoln Institute. created and
supported by this Democratic southern
state for this purpose. The people OF
Missouri feel that they solved this
problem in the hest possible way and
they are already getting interested in
the question which threatens to be-
come the greatest Issue in next falls
election, when several state offices
have to be filled. including the super

several other states that were carried
by the Republicans alst year.
While this question is OF interest
now chiefly in those states which have
separate schools. the day is rapidly
approaching when # will be an issue
in the northern states. In most of
them there are few districts where
more than two Or three negro children
are found. and they are Of the better
class OF negroes, and little objection or
difficulty is experienced; but the ne
groes are steadily moving northward
and it is a matter OF a very few years
until every urban school district in the
northern states will have its colored
pupils. The northern people will soon
discover that mixed schools for the
children will mean real social equality
when those children grow up. That
discovery will cause agitation TO the
point of a serious issue.

Melville f. Stone has recently pub

Fifty Years Journalist" In it he
tells many interesting things coming

Mckinley was elected, Mr.. Stone gives

plank. though not denying that Mr..
Kohlsaat may have forced in the one
word mentioned. In writing to Addi-
son b. Colvin he says: Il then pre-
sented to the meeting a plank for the

others) been approved" It is rather
