The trial si lmol lie erected for-girls, whito i Xegro has played bis part mightily gr Is, we mean. The program is in- ! as soldier in private ranks and very (iced elaborate so far as the educa- moderate official places, but he has tional sitie of hu administration is ; never been given an opportunity to concerned, but we wetft just wonder- j demonstrate to what extent lie could ing where the Negro came in. Ho ' be of service to his nation in the i.dvocatcs ihe maintenance of the j higher departments of ollicial place, itate University at Fayetteville tolir the south would forget its prej li ve to tne white race Higher aim i tr nhniral education along all line-. He advocates dott ng the stale with Industrial schools that they may be come fully prepared and competent in industrial pursuits. He advocates the continuance of the medical de partment and the law department of the University of Arkansas, and in ieed, his prgram, his educational prtf gram is elaborate. Where does the Negro come In? The only thing that we have been able to see is, that ho suggests that tlie Branch Normal School be sold, that lis name be changed to an In dustrial school for Negroes, that a plot of 200 acres be bought some where and an industrial plant be erected thereon. That says, of course, that the Ne gro education so far as the state is concerned is to le limited to an in dustrial currilucum, while at the ex pense of the Btate, thj whites are to teceive all kinds of training, from tlie highest classics to tlie most, i tricate technical, down to tne com- monest industrial, complimented by lirst class piofessional education. We do not begrudge nor do we hes itate to compliment the high and pro gressive educational program for our white neighbors, but we just want to know, "Where the Negro Comes In?" Docs it not dawn upon the mind of any fair and intelligent Christian man or men that the Negro, whether ho says anything or not, becomes rest ess under such discriminating con dition. As tax-pavers, as loyal citi zens, both in the time of war and In tlie tune of peace .,the Negro feels that he should share equally In pro Portion to his public wealth and pub lic service iu the advantages given U the citizens of the state by the etate. It ia clear that if the white man needs, ln order to make him a good and competent citizen, a classic training, an industrial training, a commercial training, a professional training, that the Negro in order to make him a competent citizen needs the same thing. The editor of the People's Defender respectfully, therefore, calls the at tention of the powers that be to the fact that the Negro begs and prays in the absence of the power to do iiimseir, . mat tney win give mm a square deal In the benefits to be de rived from the state. The People's Defender. SIGNS OF PROGRESS. Dr. E. P. Roberts of New York l.as been named by Mayor Mitchell, to the educational board of New lork. Now and then we see very great signs o public improvement, that is, improvement of the public conscience. In proportion as the pub lic conscience becomes divested of prejudice will it act in harmony with the high laws of the divine nature. The divine law and the divine na ture recognize and. take men for T worlt of the Tennessee rmjrressive some recent improvements on the ono of the largest congregations In , what they are worth, and never he-1 coines confused wah their eolsr ov j .aiia' identity. The Ik tiorable place! to which Mr. Robert has been up- i cinted simply demonstrates that i I anislnnent, the final banishment of i ptejudieu. It further demonstrates thai! the Ne ro's capabilities and powers nnd usefulness as a citizen, both pub-1 lie ana private, are ceeoimng more ami nioro known, recogui.ed and utilized. There are so many places that the Xegro could he of great service to j I is community, whether it be city or ! stale or nation, were it not for the j the Negro in puo ic capacity in pro-, portion to his ability, the country would become armed at the great fervi.o that he could lender. T hero me so nnuiy places, however wherein , p is koot back i nil where he is not: permitted to demonstrate his public ' - - 'dire and give the Negro a chance to help In a public way wherever lie can, and wherever ho has the ability to help, wherever his moral charac- ter permits him to he'p, they would nnd a wonderfulchange in things. The signs of the times, however, point directly toward the coming of the day when a man shall be a man lor a that. The People's Defender. ATHLETICS VERSL'S STUDY. There has been a Mil introduced in the legislature of Arkansas look ing to the checking of this wonder ful craze of athletics in the publ.c schools, or in the school system of our state. The bill provides that no team or organization shall play a game of any kind whether it be foot ball, basket ball, base ball, or any kind- of ball on any grounds with any team except on its own ground, thus putting a substantial check to this pernicious running around all over the country by youths to play ball when they should be at study. j xlle e(iit(,r of tMe People's Defender, while possibly would not be so dras tic as the bill requires, yet he has lolt, and feels now, that so far as the Negroes are concerned that they are spending entirely too much time on the diamond, anil on he gridiron. Tlie editor of the People Defender while possibly not so drastic as tho bill requires, yet he has felt, and feels now, that so far as the Negroes are concerned thin they are spending entirely too much time on the dia mond and on the gridiron. The editor of tlie People's Defender has called attention to the authori ties of the Arkansas Baptist College and the Philander Smith College upon several occasions to this very matter. He believes in study. He does not believe that any boy or girl can spend a fourth of his time in the field of athletics and become ef ficient in the pursuit of his study. The editor of the People's Defen der has watched with a good deal of pain the tramping of tho boys of the two colleges named over the city of Little Rock lookiug for vacant lot3 upon which to get themselves In trim for a big game, when in his judg ment they ought to have been gettiag themselves in trim from a mental standpoint for the big game of life. I'or a youth to epend one-fourth of his time on the fields of athletics it will take another fourth of bis time studying about the victory or the de feat that was his in the game, it wlil take another fourth of his time set tling down and adjusting himself to study, thus three-fourths of his time hath been illy spent, and only one fourth in real hard, practical re search for truth upon which he must depend as guidance through life. The result of this athletic policy adopted by the schools of our stato r.nd city, especially among the Ne groes, they are being turned; out all over our country, little, mental Quick and "DIXIE FLYER" Between Jacksonville and Chicago, St Louis, iNORTH AND WEST All Steel Equipment Handsome and Homelike.

It may do i'or the white man and for the white youth, but this is the day of application, serious, stubborn, consistent, continuous application for the Negro. He has got to cut his way through the mountain. His pick must be grcund sharp. Tie has sot to climb the rough side of the hill. His mental boots must be sub stantial. He has got to run up against the strongest mental age in the world's history, tie rsult of a lesult o a heritago of. years and centuries of his white neighbors, and he must be thoroughly prepared, ami he cannot get such preparation hol lering and scrambling over a foot ball and yelling at a baseball, three or four times iu a week, leaving the college and the school, and tramping cut of the state, being gone four ani five days in the very heart of the session. " Hurrah for that bill. Let the Negroes get down to work, men tal work, that is what they need. The People's Defender. NEGRO JOURNALISM. The Nashville Globe, a Negro journal of Nashville, Tenn., is an eye-opener, and from many stand points demonstrates Negro worth and Negro ability. Its Christmas num ber was a gem, a rare production of thought of mechanical and intellect-1 nal combination. The Rotograveure Section was the most brilliant that it has ever been our privilege to wit ness, so far as Negro journalism is concerned, and compared most favo rably with that of any race. It de monstrated tlie ability of the Negro to do things, and in our judgment is cue of the most potent factors in presenting to the world Negro skill, Negro ability. The great reason why the white leaders and white men of ability, white meu of line parts, to fceihex with their accomplishments, are so far ahead of Negro men of ability, Negro men of fine parts, and NegTo accomplishments is because of their ability to get themselves and theirs before the world. The Negro las never been able to put' himself before the world. He has never been able to tell the world what he has done, or to show the world who he ie. This has been due to the fact that he has had no journalistic abil ity, nor great journals through which to do these things. What the world knows about the Negro as a rule has been told It by the white journals, the information conveyed to the world concerning the Negro has been conveyed by the white press. The appearances and contour and outline and features of the Negro that the world has seen have been conveyed to it by the whito press. The white press naturally beng prejudiced, and having much to do of its own has iieglected to give the world a true vision of Negro skill, of Negro abil ity, of Negro feautrevof Negro homo life, of Negro enterprise. And hath too often even distorted Negro ap pearance into that of a criminal or a wicked bully, or au assassin, or rapist, but the day dawns, the morn ing star shines out brightly, and the Nashville Globe, the forerunner, the bright forerunner of the sun of jour allsm, testifies to its rising. No per son could have read and examined the Nashville Globe without being impressed, wonderfully impressed, with the genius behind it.

The editor of the People's Defender congratu lates the Globe Publishing Company upon its exceedingly meritorious journal, and doffs his hat to the learned and fascinating editor. The Globe should be read by every Ncgro ln the country, its account of Negro enterprise, its account of Ne l .To thrift, its' account of Negro or ganization, iis presentation of Negro lace and- feature, Its fai; dealings' with the great, questions of the race, its high stand upon morality, all testify of the ability of the Negro race to do things. It testifies fur ther that the day is not far distant when the Negro's praises shall be sung throughout the length and breadth of our great country through Negro journals in a way that will make the world sit up and take notice. It is in this way and through such splendid journals that prejudice is to be broken down and the Ne gro is to fight hi3 way to his proper place among men.
