For In the first place,' they do their membership In any of the Progressive churches, or any church that did not affiliate with the old convention would be turned out of the school, and out of the teaching force of the faculty. He made one little man quit the editor's church, if reports be true, and be declared himself that no person could be a member of any church except It was in the old line, but, here being no sense in the order, and being simply an expression of au unthoughtful Th Prri TaHoHn C0.0 t in cmmhI mind, he has not dared to carry out his assertion, in fact, he saw how foolishly he had acted, how exceed ingly foolish he had said. His mem lership is still at the old church as well as that of his family. We say this to show to the world that thtt con tingent of brethren don't mean any thing they say. They have no prin ciple by which they act, they sim ply act in harmony with the line or lenst resistance, and In harmony with that that will build up their cause, right or wrong. Need not pay any attention to their orders, they are not going to do anything they say, but if the Progressive District Association or State Convention sets forth an or der, the people may depend upon it In the first place, it is not going to do any foolish things like that; it is not going to make any such foolish orders; it is going to keep in har mony with decency and the princi ples of the forefathers of tho Bap tist church, and then , it will not have to appear ridiculous in the pub lic eye. Think of it, men making statements like that, and then hav ing to stoop down, and the public simply laughs them to scorn, Caverlsm is entirely too little to throttle manhood right. Men are go ing to do as they please, and Invite into the pulpits whom they will. Puss some more orders, brethren. folks are not paying any attention to what you say. Why don't you get your . letters? Why don't you do what you said? A man that wl!,'. prevaricate in one thing will prevari cate in another. REVOLT -V THE RAXKS OF CAVER ISM. Caverism stands for a closed pulpit to the Progressive Baptists of the ttnte and nation. In attempting to make that a permanent rule of order, dialwllcal as It is, a revolt hath arisen, for a number of tho minis ters who have been affiliating with the irregulars have openly declared their vengeance upon such regulation, and have declared that they will not submit to such bossy orders, and in deed have Invited the Progressives to their churches and pulpits, and havo tignlfled their willingness to enter the pulpits of any of the Progressives who may invite them. Only on the 28th of March vas the Eev. Dr. J. S. Steele, presi'dentof th District Sunday School Convection, invited, and accepted the Invitation to preach at the Union Valley Bap tist Church, pastored by the Rev. Dr W. M. Rogers. Dr. Rogers hath been sailing under the Caver flag, but he defies Caverism, and asserts his Bap tint manhood as well as his pastoral authority, and defies any person to say whom he shall Invite into his pulpit, or into whose pulpit he shall go. If Caverism is sincero and car ries out its threats that any of their ministers who enter into the pulpits of the Progressives, or allow any of them to enter into theirs, that they will withdraw the hand of fellowship from them, then they are going to have a big Job on their hands, for the Rev. Mr. Worlds, the Rev. John H. Hnmmand and others who have been devout Caverltes, are flaunting the red flag in the face of their lit aisjle boss," and asserting their man . hood. Well, a revolt against tyranny has always been in order. We do not comment upon this, because we par ticularly invite these brethren into our fold for we are firm believers fn letting every man be persuaded by Ills own mind, having firmly estab lished himself as he regards the will of God, and then proceed. We repeat, we do not comment upon this in order to induce these brethren Into our folds, or . into the fold of Pro gresslveness, but we do rejoice at the spirit of manhood in any man to rise up and to' throw off the yoke of ty- vonnv anil tVlA li nrwl np linnctam fnv we know that all free men, and all men who love freedom will Anally drift together. Men who love liberty, men who refuse to depart from the principles of the church, men who refuse to be whipped and lashed, men who believe that all moneys . ought to be accounted for, that there ought to be an accounting of every thing and every transaction, that all men of this class will ultimately drift together, because oppression Is one of the greatest factors to diive men together of which we can think. But the boys will have to be careful , or they will tear their things up, bo cause they have not any men to lose. Wo guess, however, that they will modify their ruling and adjust their order so as to pacify the Rev. Dr. John II. Hammonds, Dr. Rogers, Dr. .. Worlds and otheis. They will either be forced to modify their ruling and order, or these brethren will have to go out and form an association of their own, or come back to the regu- dp aoonxmrinn mir omnn 1 1 t c aava. and fishes that Caverism stands for, - and not true principle, ' they are capable of bending any order to meet any situation. It is not a matter of principle with them, they would violate any order or principle they have in order to get adherents.

The State Teachers Association in session in this city at the Mosaic Temple presents , a body of splendid men and women.' The editor of the People's Defender regards that the teachers of the state form one of the essential factors in the development of the racial life. It seems to be a very happy coincident that our master coupled 'together teaching and preaching, next to the ministry stands the teacher. The teacher should receive a very royal welcome in ow midst. In some respects, the Negro teachers of the State of Arkansas are the most imposed upon class of professional people among not receive anything like sufficient pay for the amount of work that they are called upon to do. It is ex ceedingly painful to note the very great difference In the pay or In the average salary of the Negro school teacher and the white school teacher. The Negro school teacher has to do almost twice as much work with about half and sometimes one third as much pay. This of course is very unfair, but is a condition over which we have at this time no con trol, sin re the autltority is almost entirely vested in the white race. It is to be hoped, however, that as we grtdually proceed in racial life that God in some way will exercise his omnipotent authority to bring about a fairer and more just condition of our educational affairs. Our educa tors are aga'n imposed upon be cause of a lack of co-operation by the Negro constituency that they so faithfully serve. They have not the co-operation as they ought to have of the public, of the Negro pub lic, and therefore have not the co operation of the children that they ought to have, because if the parents are slack in their co-operation, thw children will become imposing and increase burdens upon those they have to deal with. Tho Negro fhould wake up to this part of his racial life and throw protection around the teachers, for if our mental develop ment Is neglected, and our children are permitted to grow up mental dwarfs, or mentally deformed, then we need not hope to be able to per form the great tasks that are before us with equal efficiency with the other race. Lot us see to it that we educate, and in order to educate, let us bring every force to bear possi ble that our teachers may be efficient, and that the curriculum in our schools may be equal to the demands Of the public. The teacher is con siderably hampered In this respect as well as the race because there seems to be a disposition on the part of those in authority to cut down the curriculum of the school and to change the entire Negro thought into the mind of industrialism. In dustrialism is all right, but we want the high education; we want academ ic education; we want classical edu cation; we want any kind of educa tion that anybody else wants. So might it be. touched upon, and all questions of Importance will be answered. Let the Baptist family not be deceived, but be on band to receive informa tion at first band so that they will be able to intelligently meet and con trovert the Irregular arguments of our brethren who are setting a high record mark in Baptist delinquency.' And the Star Spangled Banner In Triumph Shall Waive O'er The Land Of The Free And The Home Of The Brave." The argument set forth in the Vanguard by ITof. J. E. Moreland Is indeed amusing from several poinU of view. First, it is "interesting be cause of the bare-face falsehoods thai it sets forth. It is amusing, second ly, because of the fact that Moreland would attempt to enter the field or argument, and demonstrate or hold himself uy to the world as a gentle man. Nobody ever thought tbat he would l o so clicehy as to uttempt to rise up in public, for the jieoplc where he Is lest known anl labors doubtless feel much surprised that he would say even a word. For if reports be true, he Is unworthy of a public hearing. It is amusing, third ly, because of tho language nnd attack made upon the editor of the People's Defender. In this respect It is in teresting because the Vanguard ha3 been hollering for clean publications, but any one who will read that ar ticle will certainly see that the Van- guari is insincere about wanting things said that are clean and decent because when the Vanguard open3 its columns for any person to pub licly call another person a half-bred, and to call a ISaptist preacher who has done as much for the Baptist cause as the editor of the People's Defender a Pedo-Baptist, and a half bred rcdo-Baptist at that, then '.t does not know wbat decency really means, but it is the same policy of our Bap tist Vanguard friend to open the columns to every little piece of Ne gro that comes along, whether he is worth anything or not. regardless to his reputation, iesardloss bow he is living in the commun'ty where he lives, to open the columns for an kind of vlllifications from insignifi cant personages. We do not object to reasoning with gentlemen, but some men we simply pass up. I Francis Scott Key.

No hand must touch It roughly; no hand shall touch it ir reverently. Its position Is aloft, to float over its children, uplifting their eyes and hearts, by Its glowing colors and splendid promise; for under the Stars and Stripes are opportunities unknown to any other nation of the world. The government commands the people to honor their flag. When the National colors are passing with the vivid stripes which represent the" lifeblood of brave men, and the stars which shall shine on forever, the spectator should, If walking, halt, is sitting arise, stand at attention and uncover. Displayed with other flags, the Na tional flag should oe placed on the right. It must he raised at sunrise, lowered at sunset. It may not be used as a staff, a whip, or a covering. ' It shall not bo marred by advertise-1 ment, nor desecration on the stage. It was born In tears and blood; it was baptized in blood and tears. It has floated since June 14, 1777, over a country of benevolence, refuge and progress. it must always be carried upright. To bear the Star Spangled Banner Is an honor; to own one a sacred trust. It. is the emblem of Freedom, of Equality, of Justice for every person . and creature as it floats unyanquished untarnished, over the open door of frco education. The Florida Times-Union.
