MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS CONFIDENT

Following the recent celebration of the eightieth
anniversary of the birth of the Republican Party in Jack
Mchgani there is increasing spirit of confidence
enthusiasm and determination among members the G.
O. p in all parts of the state They confident of their
victory in the approaching fall elections
On the other hand, however, there seems to be a
growing realization among many Democrats that their
party is losing its grip in Michigan. This seems borne
out by article, written by Clifford Provost Tuesdays
Free Press. We quote the following paragraphs from
Mr.. Prevosts article which dated from Washington
D. c., July 9. He says: ''The National Administration

Once In q while some good news
comes TO US who live within ouI

to keep. and we just must talk
about II.
This past week we have heard
OF the appointment OF two very
competent young people OF our
racial group to positions OF honor,
responsibility and good ompensa-
ton. We all know these two. They
have been very active around De-
troit, but we want you to know
them as they are now In their new
clothes-so meet DIR. VIM. T. Love.
Wayne County Medical Examiner,
and meet Mrs. Theresa ID Piggott,
stenographer in the office OF the
Auditors OF Wayne County.
We are informed that never be-
fore have these positions been CIV
en- to a member OF our race. So
the big thing about these appoint
ments is that they establish a pre-
cedent which will be 10 the adj
vantage OF our people. Every
young Negro man who is In the

some standard school can look for

EDUCATION

Education Is the intellectual and
spiritual foundation upon which
the industrial and cultural super
structure OF socie,y is erected
There are many systems of society
throughout the world. and hence
many systems OF education.
The basic need OF any education
al system today, may not be the
basic need a decade hence. for the
simple reason that the remarkable
advance being made almosl daily
In scientific discoveries, are pro-
foundly affecting many phases OF
what is known as civilization.
II you lived among the Berber
tribes OF North Africa your educa-
tional needs would be entirely diff
ferent from those OF an American
youth. The need for survival in
whatever environment one hap
pens to be. dictates the type OF
education required.
At the close OF the Civil War and
for many years thereafter, a strict
classical training was the order OF
the day, for every college and uni
versary graduate.
AS we passed from an agricultu-
raj TO a highly mechanical indus
trial civilization. the need for sur
vival" dictated. not only an entire
ly new educational system. but
profoundly mordified the old clas-
steal training TO which England
and France still cling.

The Auditors OF Wayne County

In these appointments. They did
not hesitate to- break very Ions
standing custom OF having only
white faces In these positions. Why
can't the Board of Education do
as they have done? The Board OF
Education like the Board OF Coun-
ty Auditors has a political respon-

passing this responsibility to the
Supt. OF Schools or TO anybody

thing for us all not to be Repub-

Michigan. DR.. Love, and Mrs. Pig

took the risk and worked for the

Michigan and now comes their re-

but we are not so narrow as not
to be able TO see the fine thing
that the Democratic Party has

The Republican Party will do as
they have done. They cannot AFFORD

soon make their intentions known.
Political organization OF our ra-
cial group Is what we need. The
possibilities are great. but remem-

OBJECTIONABLE ERROR

The history making Roosevelt"
Congress committed what we feel
called to describe as an unpardon-
able error by adjourning without
passing the Costigan-W Wagner anti
lynching bill.
The circumstance is as wholly
condemnable as II Is definitely dis
couraging to efforts being PUT
forth in all parts of the country to
stem the steadily rising tide of
major crime in the United States. :
Throughout the long drawn out
session OF the national law-makirg
body, citizens were led 10 believe
that an effective federal law OF
some kind aimed against mob MUIR
der would eventually have been
enacted in response TO demands OF
the public.
Failure on the part Of Congress
to perform the one urgent duty OF
furnishing legislative means OF
protection OF the lives and proper
ty OF citizens Is tracable principal
ly to opposition against any such
measure by southern representa-
tives.
II was Senator Smith OF South
Carolina who blocked the final OPP
portunity TO consider the bill dur
ing the last days OF Congress.
Passage OF the measure was
urged In a joint resolution present
ed by the New Jersey general as
sembly only to arouse storm Of
opposition from sons OF the chival-
rus south led by Smith.
or course, enemies Of the bill
were plentiously supplied by the
south.
Friends of the measure came
from the north, and west which
goes to show conclusively Just
what element OF the congressional
personnel must be held responsible
for tie temporary demmise OF the
Costigan-Wagner i-lynching
bill.
Thus the lives and property OF
w-abiding Americans remain ex-
posed TO wantoR destruction at the
hands of treacheous disciples OF
mob rule. and lynch murders.
Friends OF the Costigan-Wagner
bill are not discouraged. however.
The fight will be carried on be-
cause It must be won for the good
of society.--Indianapolis Recorder.

Maryland Fall
Pig Crop Less
Than Last Year
Nation Wide Survey Shows De-
crease Of About Three
Per Cent For 1888

A decrease of about two per cent
in the Maryland fall pig crop of 1888
from that of 1892; combined spring
and fall crop of 1888 about four per
cent larger than that Of 1882; and a
prospective decrease of about 10 per
cent in the number of sows to farrow
in the spring season of 1884 from the
number which narrowed in the spring
season of 1888 are shown by the
December pig report released by
Richard c. Ross, agricultural statis-
tician for the Maryland Crop Report
ing Service. The Pig Surveys are
made in June and December each year
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture in cooperation with the
United States Post Office Department,
through local postmasters and Rural
Carriers.
The number of pigs saved this fall
is estimated at $4,000, which COM
pares with the fall 1882 crop of 1885,
600 pigs. The number of pigs saved
per litter averaged about 6.2 pigs this
fall, and about 6.3 in the fall of 1892.
If present intentions of breeders
are realized, the number of sows far
rowing during the spring season of
1884 will be about $4,000. 1t is esti-
mated that about 10000 sows farrow-
ed during the similar period of 1888.
For the United States as a whole,
the survey indicated that the fall pig
crop was about three per cent smaller
spring and fall crops were about the
same as in 1882; and that the num-
Der of sows to farrow in the spring of
1884 will be about eight per cent
smaller than last spring.
