again that ''tbe sUonders Of science never

ent that makes High Test OXYDOL far
whiter-washing than ever before. Yet

When first you try it, we believe you
will change all the previous ideas you
ever had about washdays. About whittier

For High Test Oxydol actually washes
clothes up to 15R whittier, as proved by
scientific Tintometer tests. Not only far
whiter than old Oxydol-but as much
as 15% whittier than old-fashioned bar

In addition, you'll find that High Test
Oxydol makes up to ts0iee tie ssds cup

that stand up to 8 times longer. And
thus end the need for constantly adding

Of the colored citizens have gone over to the
Democratic party.
It was generally considered in Washington
and elsewhere that that so-called anti-lynching
bill was poor legislation of no protection to
the Negro race it does not now have, and at
the same time break down many of the safe
guards Tor local government. But bomk of
the leaders Of the Negro organizations insist
ed the measure ought to be PASSED. Those in
the close states naturally wanted to keep with
the members of that race.
Had the measure ever come up for a vote,
it is likely that many senator's of both parties,
would have voted for the bill. But by assisting
the southern senators in keeping off the elo-
ture rule. they aided in keeping the vote off.
Thus in It's final analysis the Republicans COM
bined with the southern senators to defeat the
bill. We think they did the country a real ser
vice, but of course most of the praise should
go to those southerners who for days held the
floor and protected what little local authority
there is left.

"GUIDE RIGHT"

In eighty college communities

clinics on vocational opportunities,

later life.
The official organ of the frater-

a current Guide Right" number,
in which the history of this move

told, ard in which high appreciation

Railroads Boosts
Nebraska Business

Nebraska benefited substantially from the
expenditures of the railroads in 1897 for ma
terials, supplies, fuel, rev equipment and pay
reels, it is revealed in a special study which
has Just been completed by the Bureau of Rail
way Economics Of the Association Of American
Railroads.
Railway purchases in Nebraska last year to-
tailed $5.712973, the report shows. Of this sum
$1,000, SOS was spept for materials, supplies and
fuel, while 81 LOG, 367 went for new equipment
mot including that built in company shops).
Those purchases were made in 172 towns and
cities located in SO of the 90 counties of the
state.
Wages paid to railway employees in Nebras-
ka during 1897 amounted to $32, 723, PIG.
Tho review disclosed that, for the nation as
a whole, the railroads last year paid S1,133,-
36l .468 for more than 10000 different items
which they use. Materials, supplies and fuel
cost S966, 1888, 900, and expenditures for all ne,
equipment Except that constructed in railway
shops) totaled S166, 97s, 468. More than 10000
towns and cities located in 1888 of the 3,O72
counties Of the United States derived direct
benefits from this large volume of railroad
buying.
In 1887, the c%ountry's rail carriers also dis
tributed 81 1885, 90.A85 in wages to their en-
ployees, the report says.

Emotions-prejudices ~ intelligence! These
are three words that tell much in regard to the
action of people. They talk much and talk little
They move slowly and then move rapidly. They
build up and then they tear down. All the while
what it that guides them in what they say and
do? Anybody can see that there is far too much
talking and action without serious thinking.
Emotions are given too much sway, and they
run away with people. They are worked up and
worked out, and still they get nowhere. They
get on the flying for a ride INTO a distant land
only to get off right where they got on. Their
emotions were stirred and got them going, and
they did not stop to consider where they were
going nor the purpose of it. All they knew
was that they We're going-and going according
to their undisciplined emotions. There was no
planning and no purpose in airy of it. Emo
tons can serve people, but seldom as safe as
sound guides. Many of the moral, spiritual and
financial wrecks along life's way are due to
the fact that people allow their emotions to get
the advantage of them, Their impulses went
wild and the wrecks resulted.
Prejudices move people sometimes. The aver
age man or woman would hardly be willing to
admit the extent to whiweh he or she is moved
in speaking and acting by mere prejudice. If it
is not one kind of prejudice it is another
racial, UNCONVENTIONAL Gloss, sectional ard all
the rest. Take any question and look at your
action on it carefully, examine to see how much
of what you have said and done is free from
some type of prejudice. 1t is not apparent that
mere prejudice is never a safe guide in any
matter?
Intelligence helps people to possess them
selves, avoid serious blunders and makes pro-
gress. Simply to move is rot enough; the move
ment should bear the stamp of study. careful
planning. In almost every direction and every
day We see signs of no serious thinking and no
'areful planning. The result is failure. choas. dis
enlargement. In both individual and group ac-
tion there is all too little intelligence display
ed. Leaders who do mot have an abundance of
intelligence will resort to the emotions. pre-
JUDGES of the people to get attention and a
following. The sooner leader of that type are
diseredited the better for the people. 1t is an
honor to be a dealer but it is also a sacred obi
gation-in a day like this it is a supreme chall-
enge. He who leads should be willing to pay
the price to be informed. He should be above
the low and petty whims and prejudices. He
should build solidly upon facts. He should be
willing not to know the facts, but to think
through them and properly interpret them for
the people. In the absence of vision. intelli-
gence, courage to do the right, the people fol-
low blindly and are likely to perish.

ALPHA's NEW JEWELER

1t was pleasant to note in the
last issue of The SPHINX, official
organ of the Alpha Phi Alpha fra
ternity, that by formal vote. a
Negro jeweler had been appointed
official jeweler of the organiza-
ton. The fortunate recipient of the
contract is the BOverture company
of New York, headed by Kenneth
Lloyd Bright, a Howard man.
The appointed of Mr.. Bright's
company follows the naming of a
Negro as official jeweler of the
Alpha Kappa. Alpha sorority last
year; and it may nov be expected
that other Negro organizations,
when they have work in the jewelry
line, such as pins buttons, banners,
and any insignia, will give the
work, which is now an a|ppreciable
national volume in the Negro
group, to Negro business concerns.
We commend Alpha Phi Alpha
for taking this step, and because
of the record of Mr.. Bright in
turning out satisfactory orders of
class pins for numerous schools,
and of service pins for such a
highly successful organization as
the Afro-American company of
Baltimore, we feel sure taht only
satisfaction will come from the Al
pha appointment.

Coin Collection Merit Badges
Announced
Coin collecting is a fascinating
hobby through which one may
learn a great deal concerning Gus
toms architecture plants and
animals, weapons, armour and
clothing r~egligions and govern
ment, history and mythology and
many other things pertaining to
the ancients, will undoubtedly win
many new adherents through the
new Merit Badge in Coin Collect
ing which may be earned by Boy
Scouts.
Coins have been a valuable help
in historic research and at times
haze been tn only source of infor-
nation aailable about the customs
Of ancient peoples. The names of
many kings, princes and other
rulers were unknown until their
portraits, dates and others legends
were found on coins.
Coin collecting may be enjoyed
by anyone. 1t is not necessary to
own specimens of the very rare
coins to be a successful numisma-
fist, as coin collectors are known.
Scouts are told they should be alb
lie to recognize a coin and know
something about it, or where TO
find out about it.
The dividends from coin collec
ting combine fun. knowledge and
entertainment which icreases each
with the size of the collection. The
greatest satisfaction is obtained
when a boy friend locates and &C
duires some long-sought coin. A
most interesting part of this is
assembling information about each
toir and labelling the collection.
Initiative and design play a large

One of the best informed men in Ada called
our attention a few days ago to the quiet work
that Republicans in the United States senate
are doing. Practiculary appealing to him is
that fact that the Republicans kept the ill
advised anti-lynching law from coming to a
vote.
For generations the Republicans have APP
pealed t othe Negro note. In fact, the Negroes
of the country felt that their welfare lay en-
tirely in the Republican party. Of recent
