IN FACT, this administration seems
to have come to the conclusion that
the segregation, communicative and
elimination of the Colored American
as a political factor must be made
ACCOMPLISHED facts in order to build
up a Republican party in the South
If the votes of Colored men alone
would be lost to the party as a re-
suit of this action, perhaps the ad-

find when it is too late, perhaps,
that there are many thousands of

IGNORANCE is COSTLY.

A woman few nights ago was
found crying and moaning in the
rear of her home by neighbors who
rushed In TO see II they could rem
der any assistance to her.
Upon being asked by them what
her trouble was she said that her
husband, gambler, had left her,
presumably for another paramount,
and had taken more than 5000
which she had been saving through
four or five years.
When asked why she had kept
so much money in her home in
stead OF In the bank she replied
that she could not write her name
and that the banks would not ac-
cept her account because of that
fact
II was a pathetic case indeed, but
after all only one Of number sim
liar to II which are constantly hap
pening. And. while our sympathies
are with this woman in the loss of
her savings, we may draw from her
loss a profitable lesson.
She is not an old woman in her
dotage. She should know how to
write her name. The fact is that
her husband was able to steal her
money only because of the fact that
she had never been interested
enough in her own Improvement to
learn the fundamentals of writing
and reading and thus protect her
self.
We know that this woman has,
Tor the past four years been within
seven-milutes walk of q school at
which a free night school has been
regularly conducted.
She could have attended II as
well as she could have sat supinely
upon her porch and rocked and gos-
siped.
Had she been able to write her
name. doubtless she would have had
her money in bank. safe from her
faithless husband and every other
designing person.
Her case is only another OF those
countless instances in proof OF the
facs that ignorance is costly and
that education pays.
TO refuse to learn as much as is
possible is TO willfully cast away OPP
portunities for advancement and
economic protection.
Such occurrences as this, always
pathetic, should be stimulus enough
TO cause our people to be more
willing to sacrifice a little time for
their educational Improvement.
Investment of hours In study pays
large dividends and there Is no
longer any real excuse for ignor-
rance In any person.

PERRY HOWARD MOVES OFFICE
AND GETS DOWN TO REAL WORK.
Special Assistant Has Claims
Against Government TOtaling Huge
Sum.


Sum.
Washington, D. c., Sept 29.-When
the Hon. Perry w. Howard, OF Jack
son Miss, was appointed Special
Assistant to the Attorney General and
given an Office in the building of
the Department of Justice, informa-
tion was given out that he was to
look after fraudulent claims of Col
ored people against the Government.
To ascertain just the nature OF
Mr. Towards work, a reporter OF
The washington Tribune called at
his office on the 9Th floor of the De-
nartment of justice Building He
found that Mr.. Towards office was
small, dingy place with very 1T
| tie furniture in 1t. Mr. Howard,
however, was not in, so another WIS.,
II was made later in an effort to
see Mr.. Howard at work but again
he was out.
After waiting a month or more,
the reporter again returned to Mr..
Towards office and found that the
former quarters had been vacated
and that the office of the Special
Assistant was now in large airy
room on the 9Th floor with plenty
of space and office help.
Upon asking Mr.. Howard the ma
ture of his work, he replied: This
whole floor is given over to the claim
department with about thirty law
yers busy all the time with the
thousands of claims that have grown
ont OF the war. Our office is hand
ling only railroad claims. We have
about seventy-five claims here for
the coming term of the U. s. Court
of Claims. This court is hlgher
court than the District Courts and
will convene October 1st and run
ten months. These claims range In
amounts from $500 to 100000 dol
lars. don't think any Colored peo-
pie own railroads do they?' Mr..
Howard asked The Tribune repre-
sentative.
The Tribune was Informed by Mr..
Howard, that the total value OF the
claims already in his office would
reach a billion dollars. This mems
an enormous amount of work TO
brief all of these claims, which will
run into dozens and even hundreds OF
pages.
Mr.. Howard has as his stenogra-
pher and assistant, Capt Mellenger,
]. Scott, at Howard University and
graduote of the Howard Law School
this year. Mr.. Howard spoke in a
complimentary mannar of Capt. Mel
lenger's efficiency and said that he
was indeed proud to have his as
ISOLATED with him in the work.
BY way of comparison, it is pointed
out that the Hon. William H. Lewis,
when he was Assistant Attorney
General, handled about six claims
during his entire term of office.
Unlike many other men who are
working in the Government service
here, Mr.. Howard has enough work
to keep him busy. He says he is I'M
alterably opposed to the spread OF
segregation in the government: de-
partments.

An interesting trade in the Carolina
mountain counties Of Ashe, Allegheny
and Watauga is that in what are
known as crude drugs; in other words,
herbs, plants, roots, etc. Some fam
lies have for many years devoted all
their time to gathering these from the
mountainsides, live in tents and move
from place to place until all the mate
rails in range are gathered. A con-
siderable number of farmers spend
part of their time in this line of work
and get more money than is paid in
wages in that region, while at the
same time living near to nature, the

FORGET PASSAGE OF TIME
Neither at Work or In the Hours Of
Play Does II Pay to Watch
the Clock.

At only one time does the average
human being measure time with eff
fort, and that is when he is goaded
by fear. Scare a man with impend-
ing disaster, with bodily danger or
with death and he becomes really ac-
tive. Time doesn't drag then. The
clock hands, If he took time to look
at them, would seem like racehorses
in their speed.
Don't be a clock watcher. Work
while you work with so much energy,
so much interest that time doesn't
matter.
Play when you play with so much
abandon, so much enthusiasm that the
day passes without your measure
ment.
The man who measures time in
cycles or circles is wrong,
Time must be computed in a straight
line along which there. is no backward
motion.
You can never have yesterday again.
If you wasted it, try and make today
do double duty. But you can't do that
If you watch the clock.-F. A. Walker
