TO COOPERATE
ROAD EXPRESS
Link Between Jersey City
and Washington is Plan
of Engineers
SUGGEST A BOND ISSUE

Four states promised coopera-
ton in a move to build an express
highway between Jersey City and
Washington at a conference OF
highway engineers and members of
Congress in Washington. w. W.
Mack. chief engineer of the State
Highway Department, who repre-
sented Gov. Richard c. McMullen
at the conference, said upon his re-
turn that nothing definite had been
done. The United States Bureau
of Roads has given its approval
and is making a survey of the pro-
posed project, Mr.. Mack said. He
attended the conference principally
to learn what plans the other
states have in mind as Delaware
already has a dual highway from
Wilmington to the Maryland line
which might serve as a link in the
express highway. Representative
Ira Walton Drew ,D-Pa.) congress
sional hacker of the undertaking,
said his proposel was that New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
and Delaware, each build its own
highway as an interstate project.
The plans for the individual states
would be coordinated into uni
form link between the two cities.
Financing the highway, Drew sug-
gested, could be carried out by
state bond issues and Federal work
relief. He said the investment
might be made self-liquidating
through tolls and the condemna-
ton and resale of land along the
route. He announced after the
conference that committee Of
House members from the four
states would be appointed to CO.
operate with their state highway
authorities to develop and coordin-
ate plans.

site in quality and quantity, called
matter. If matter is first, it can
not produce Mind. Like produces
like. In natural history, the bird
is not the product of a beast. In
spiritual history, matter is not the
progenitor Of Mind. The doom of
matter establishes the conclusion
that matter, slime, or protoplasm
never originated in the immortal
Mind, and is therefore not eternal.
Matter is neither created by Mind
nor for the manifestation and sup
port of Mind. /. In proportion as
the belief disappears that life and
intelligence are in or of matter, the
immortal facts Of being are seen,
and their only idea or intelligence
lis in God. "A ligical and scientific
conclusion is reached only through
the knowledge that there are not
two bases of being, matter and
mind, but one alone, Mind"
Note: In Christian Science, Mind
is the synonym Of God.

MY BOY
BY w. D. Greene

BY w. D. Greene
My little boy-My only son,
A bitter loss he was to me;
His tiny life but just begun,
Then called into eternity.
Then all the hopes which I had
built
Were shattered at a single blow;
My cup of gladness rudely split,
And all my fondest hopes laid
low.
His advent I received with joy,
He came and went in one short
breath;
I only knew I had a boy,
Then he at once was claimed by
death.
No son for me to lean upon,
AS down the hill of life a tread;
The family name to carry on
Ny name win perish when I'm
dead.
I never felt his little arms
Around my neck, or heard his
voice
Lisp Daddy, while his baby
charms
Caused all within me to rejoice.
l might have now his guileless love
To compensate for greater loss;
But all was known to God above;
May He help me to bear my
cross.
It won't be long, 1 know, until
He'll ease my weary soul Of pain;
His love my hungry soul will fill,
And I shall see my boy again.

1887 A BANNER YEAR FOR
THE NEGRO ATHLETE
BY William e. Clark

Though hard times are still with
us, the Negro athlete carried on dur
ing the year just closing with cour-
age and skill that brought the group
to new heights in the sports world.
When the year opened only one Ne
gro held championship in the sport
of boxing. John Henry Lewis, worlds
light heavyweight champion not only
retained his title during the year, but
was also joined by Joe Louis as heavy
weight champ and Henry Armstrong
rs the king of all featherweights. The
best part of this record is that no one
appears on the horizon to seriously
threaten their reign during 1888, and
that includes Max Schmeling, leading
heavyweight contender. Despite Max's
impressive showing against Henry
Thomas, we still believe that his
knockout victory over the present
heavyweight champ was fiuke and
that Joe will take him with ease when
they meet next summer.
On the einder path, the Negro did
not surpass the achievements OF the
1896 Olympics but he was neverthe-
less out there trying and the U. S. col
ors were carried abroad by Ben john
son of Columbia, Johnny Woodruff of
Pitt, Fritz Pollard, jr., of North Dako-
ia, and several others of outstanding
ability.
The Colored Inter Collegiate Ath-
letic Association had good year. as
did the Southern Collegiate Associa-
ton, both in football and other sports.
A member of the former institution,
Morgan College, celebrated the year
by opening a new stadium, erected
with the assistance of federal WPA
funds.
In baseball the Negro didn't do so
we'll. Still barred from the big leagues,
the owners of Negro teams have
sought to operate strictly racial
league in the east with indifferent sue
cess. There is no question about the
ability of Negro players, as witness the
work of Negro team that went down
to the Caribbean in the early spring and
won the championship of Santo Do
mingo and Central America. Neither
is there any question of the drawing
ability of Negro players, as games in
New York and Chicago at big league
parks during the season drew crowds
in excess of $4,000. The chief trouble
seems to be with the owners who are
also the commissioners of the Negro
National League. Whenever their per-
sonal interests conflict with the inter-
ests of the league, they naturally
choose to look out for themselves first.
AS result. rivalry and intrigue all but
wrecked the league toward the close of
the season. What is needed is a large
outlook and more power conferred in
the executive head who at the present
time happens to be Ferdinand Q. Nor
ton.
But this is not matter for discour-
agement. as the league is meeting in
the closing days of the year for the
purpose OF recognizing and the
Strengthening out of some of these diff
ficnit problems. All things considered,
1897 was a real banner year for the
Negro athlete. azs
