which, | confess, has considerable
sentimental weight. But we should
not be disappointed or surprised
that such sentimental reasons 90
not outweigh in Mr.. Hoover's mind,
heavier international and economic
considerations. When we consider
the momentous issues involved in
the Monroe Doctrine and the new
adjustment of spheres of influence
of the greater and weaker powers
in the family of nations, it will
be seen that the Haitian Commits

lance to the London Naval Confer

anxiously concerned in the ap-
pointment of a colored man on
the Crime Commission because his
presence and participation would,
| felt, react favorably upon the
conduct of the race.
In my humble judgment Mr..
Hoover has flagrantly overlooked
recognition of the Negro in the
distribution of public office. Our
political leaders should use all of
the political compulsion and power
of persuasion they possess to force
him to accord proper racial recog-
milton. / further agree that failure
in the present instance might prop
erly be utilized as point of sa-
lutory protest. But let us not
confuse judicious protest with
a fundamental principle. Why
should the Negro claim any exclu-
sively proprietorship in any par
ticular public office? This but
argues the inferiority complex. The
Recorder of Deeds should no more
be considered Negroes position
than the Recorder of Wills. Tam.
many Hall makes Negro Civil
Service Commissioner. We must
break new ground or keep forever
in a racial rut. Why limit oul
claims to jim-crow jobs?
The educational commission out
lined by President Hoover shows
the bent of his mind and the slant
of his sympathy. DR.. Motion was
not designated to head this commits
sion simply because he is colorec
but because he is deemed the most

Ny recent release on the Haitian
Commission has provoked several
sharp. and even abusive replies. IL
is always easier to cuss than to DIS
cuss. There is one outstanding
reason why a Negro should have
been placed on that commission,
and that is, the Negroes wanted 1t
so. With them it is largely mat
ter of political patronage and race
recognition rather than special SER
vice to the government. | believe
and openly advocate that Mr.. Hoo
yer should accord to the Negro
political patronage and group recog-
milton. do not accept the doc
trine according to Hoover that the
very best man should always be
sought out for every position. On
the other hand, l believe that
places under the government should
be allotted on the distributive prin-
,ciple. with due recognition of merit
and efficiency. On these grounds,
| very much desired to see color
ed man sent on the Haitian Com
mission. l wrote a letter to the
New York Herald-Tribune strongly
setting forth this view. My per-
sonal choice was Dr.. Emmett j..
Scott. There are, of course, any
number of colored men who have
the requisite intelligence and men
tai acumen to serve the govern
ment efficiently in home of foreign
service but a commission should
be composed of experts. 1t is not
a training school of those who may
have the capacity and the desire to
learn. II is too obvious that no
available colored man has had the
international and colonial expert
ence Of Forbes or Fletcher, or the
intimate knowledge of the French
language and Catholic religion oil
the other members of the Commits
sion, nor yet the political eminenee
and journalistic renown of the
eminent Kansan.

A New Calendar

Almost from time immemorial, the human race has
been given over to "monkcyirs' with its calendar.
There are ct least half a dozen in common use on this
globe but the one which the leading nations CT the world
accept is that devised by Pope Gregory the Great In the
sixteenth century and which has been giving fairly good
service for a long time.
And row comes a movement to change 1t. The move
ment is backed by strong forces and is opposed by 9TH
e-s equally as interested. Advocates of the change con- ,
tend that a division CT the year into 10 equal months
would be a benefit to- business. Under this system each
day Q; the week would fall Oh a certain date and the
calendar would be inflexible. A comparison of the bust
ness Gone on q certain date in any year would be in
fallihle instead of approximate as at present.
But the system provides, iii addition to an extra sum-
ner month to be known as Sol" a blank day to make
up for the 3o5th day Of the ordinary year. And in adj
dttion, and this brings loud shrieks of protest from the
"artis' in leap years there would be two blank days.
In certain sections the contest is being waged bitterly
right now even though it is a good deal Of q tempest
in a teapot. The new calendar may be better. but all OF
us ere used to the Old one and it ,w!lD take a lot Of per-
suaSion to make us want to try the new. In addition.
the entire world would practically have to make the
shift from the old to the new at the same time. Other
wise some American creditor might be trying to collect
a note from a foreign debtor ON a blank" day-and with
blanl, results.
But foolish as 1t may seem from the standpoint Of ever
getting anywhere, an international conference on cal
endar reform will be held In October. 1891, at Geneva.
All nations will be represented. the motivating force be-
hind the conference being an invitation to the nations
by the League Of Nations committee on calendar reform
to appoint commissions to take part in the discussion.
Evidently the leaders Of the league are sold on the re-
fern.
1t is a long way from Bismarck to Geneva but we folks
cut here on the prairies of the west cannot help but adj
mire the ambition Of the leagues leaders. Trying to
eliminate war is something OF a task, but it isn't much
larger than attempting to change the calendar of the
civilized world.

A Great Gift tx. the Northwest
tMinneapoliR Trihune

AADA4RS
While honor Is being paid. d.. Stephen Moulton Bah
cock. Madison, Wis, inventor of the. Babcock test tc
determine the butterfat content sof milk, all the north
west may well recall the fact that he is one Of its most
useful citizens. He is entitled to henor. accordingly. since
the device he invented and gave to the world has done
more than almost any other to increase human happiness
and prosperity IN the datrying regions.
The history Of the dairy industry naturally divides
1890. when the Babcock test was perfected and given to
itself into two periods, that before 1890 and that after
1890. when the Babcock test was perfected and given to
the world without reservation of patent rights.
DR.. Babcock did for the dairy farmers what Mccormick
did for the wheat growers and what Whitney did for the
cotton growers.
He had the opportunity of patentng his device and
laying the foundation for q great fortune. He chose
rather to give it without cost. His reward has been
great nevertheless. His device revolutionized the dairy
industry and all its processes. Every group was o
beneficiary. The farmer was enabled to isolate and
weed out low-producing cows. The consumer of milk had
the quality OF the product he purchased standardized.
The dairy industry grew until it is today bigger than the
cotton or the wheat industry.
When the extent of the dairy industry in the northwest
is contemplated today and the rapidity with which 1t IS
developing is realized, it Is doubtful If the northwest can
point to another citizen who has done more to establish
one OF its greatest industries or tide it over a period Of
adjustment in agricultural practices than the Wisconsin
scientist, now we'll past So years Of age. It Is fitting
that grateful recognition should come to him at this
time. Perhaps it is tardy. Certainly it is none the less
sincere and deserved.
