Recently in New York there met the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People. The associa
tion, according to committee reports,
is growing. That Is well. There can
be no Sloubt of the need of organized
effort to protect the interests and even
the most elementary rights of the
negro.
This is an unpleasant thought, but
irue. The appearance of Jim Crowism
in the national offices at Washington,
now thrown into higher relief by the
president’s strange reluctance to at
tack it, is only one expression of the
tendency to isolate and hold the negro
down. Recently Mr. Hyde has de
scribed the harsh and demoralizing
conditions with which the most worthy
class of negroes has to cope in Chica
go. There is now appearing in the
south a new segregation proposal,
namely, that when more than a half
of the acreage of a section is owned
by one race, the voters of the section
may exclude ownership by members
of another race. In other words, says
Doctor Du Bois. here is the policy of
race segregation which has resulted
in the degradation and destruction of
the Indians.
The reminder is sharp-edged. Our
mistreatment of the Indians has been
admitted to be a blot on the nation’s
’scutcheon. Are we to drift into an
evil even greater? As Doctor Du Bois
says, a quarter century ago the solu
tion of the negro problem was formu
lated thus: “Take the negro out of pol
itics. Train him for work, especially
for farm work.” The negro has been
taken out of politics by various de
vices of disfranchisement which in
effect annul the thirteenth amend
ment. This process of constitutional
repeal has been accepted complaisant
ly by a generation preoccupied with its
own material achievements and politi
cal and social problems. The results
of this twofold policy, according to
Doctor Du Bois and other observers
are “that the negro schools have beer,
neglected; that a large proportion of
the negro children are not in school,
and that there has been quiet but de
termined opposition to the success of
the higher schools for negroes, wtdle
in the industrial and agricultural field
the negro has had to contend against
tremendous odds.”
It should be said in supplement to
this, that in the south white schools
also have been neglected; that the
south has been very poor and economi
cally retarded, and that in many dis
tricts the poor whites are worse off
than the negroes.
Yet, after all factors are brought
within view, the human paradox ap
pears that wherever the negro, in spite
of the staggering handicaps under
which he moves, has forced himself
upward he thereby places himself in
competition with white men and im
mediately becomes the object of their
opposition. What is really wanted of
him is humble, useful labor. Freedom
in name he is to enjoy, but not the
freedom a free soul demands, the free
dom to move forward, to enjoy “the
blessings of liberty,” freedom in the
"pnrsuit of happiness.”
We shall not solve the negro prob
lem on any such basis. The wisdom of
Abraham Lincoln, who said “this gov
ernment cannot endure permanently
half slave and half free" is wisdom to
day. Our policy toward the negro
most certainly and most profoundly
will react upon ourselves. That is a
consideration which gives to the move
ment for the advancement of colored
people the force of enlightened self
interest.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

An earnest plea for the betterment
of the rural colored schools of the
south was made by James H. Dillard,
president and director, at the annual
meeting of the board of the Negro Ro
i ral school fund of the Anna T. Jeanes
j foundation, which was held at New
York a few days ago.
“The city, town and village school*
houses for the colored children are
; often fairly good," says Mr. Dillard,
“but in the open country, where we
profess to wish the people to remain,
and where we profess to wish to train
these country children to better coun
try living, anything better than a dis
graceful shack is rarely found for the
schoolhouse."
The Jeanes foundation, established
five years ago, and with the active and
financial co-operation of the various
counties of the southern states, and
that of the Phelps-Stokes fund, is car
rying on an educational campaign
among the rural negro population of
the south.
The scope of the work is so large
that though more than $38,000 has
been spent for teachers’ salaries
alone, the officers and executive com
mittee find themselves badly handi
capped for funds with which to prop
erly extend the work of the founda
tion. Only $1,195 was available for re
pairs and equipment of schooihouses.
So great has been the increase in
the number of schools, that It has
j been found advisable to organize a
corps of supervising teachers and
state supervisors. The problem of
meeting the traveling expenses of
| these workers is by no. means an easy
one. In many cases they are depend
ent upon private contributions from
patrons of the schools, where the coun
ties have made no appropriations for
the purpose.
Mr. Dillard is optimistic regarding
the future of the work, anc feels that
in spite of many handicaps, a constant
ly increasing appreciation and spirit
of co-operation is being manifested by
school officials, both state and county.

Councilman Harry S. Cummihgs said
in part:
“We are all citizens of a great gov
ernment to which we owe all the loy
alty and patriotism which we can
command. We owe respect and obe
dience to the law of the land and de
votion to everything which makes for
the prosperity of our common country.
' And as our president, whoever he mat
j be in person, is the head of the gov
! eminent, we owe respect and loyalty
to him as citizens. We, in return for
this loyalty and patriotism, are en
titled to receive and enjoy to its fullest
extent every right granted to us under
the law. And as there should be no
difference in degree in our patriotism,
so also should there be no difference
or discrimination in according to all
citizens their rights. Let us hope that
our president, with all the power at
his command, may see to It that all
citizens may be accorded the full
measure of their rights, so that each
and i'very one of us may vie with
each other in hie love and devotion
for our flag and our country."

“This is particularly true in the mat

j ing set an example for the rest of the

What the Butler Heard Througti
the Broken Furnace Pipe
in the Cedar.
By WILL A. PAGE.
Evans, the butler, was industrious
ly reading the newspaper out loud. On
i the other side of the kitchen table,
Mortimer, the coachman, was mend
ing his whip.
"The daring robbers then bundled
up their booty and decamped,” the
pompous butler read very loudly,
“leaving the detective officers baf
fled without a clew. As there was
uo evidence that the doors bad been
forced or locks tampered with, the
detectives were at first inclined to sus
pect the servants; but, as Mr. Wal
cott declared he bad the utmost faith
In them, the police were not allowed to
search their rooms.”
Mortimer, obvious of the newspaper
item, did not reply when Evans stop
ped reading, as though expecting some
comment
“1 say, Mortimer, old chap, that isn't
sucb a bad haul, is it? The paper says
they got away with $2,000 worth oi
silver.”
"Bad haul?" queried Mortimer.
“What are you talking about?”
"Talking about?” repeated Evans,
disgustedly.
"Why, what else should 1 be talking
about but the big robbery down
the street at old man Walcott's
house."
“Oh, run sorry. I didn't know
you were reading anything of impor
tance.”
“I should say it was of importance.
As the servants there are suspected,
that naturally places us in an awk
ward position."
"What do you mean?”
"Aren't we all servants? And if one
of the fashionable families takes up
a fad, don't all the other fashionable
families follow suit?”
"Nonsense, Evans. You're an old
fool.”
“I tell you,” persisted Evans, "that
if the Walcott servants are suspected
of dishonesty, the servants of every
fashionable family In the city will
have to clear their characters.”
"Why, we are well known to the
missus. I have been with her six
years, yet you dare—” *nd Mortimer
rose flourishing his whip.
“I don’t mean you.” sneered Evans.
It’s Miss Charlotte who Is more likely
to be suspected.”
Mortimer resisted the inclination to
strike tbe fellow, though be was
strongly tempted. The door bell sound
ed then. Evans, with a muttered im
precation. rushed to a small mirror
banging on the kitchen waU, primp
ed himself and disappeared, bowing
elaborately to Charlotte, the maid
newly come to service, who happened
to be entering tbe kitchen at that par
ticular moment.
“Now, then, you stupid,” broke in
Charlotte, "you almost made me drop
the chinaware.”
Charlotte bowed, without speaking
to Mortimer, who commenced to mend
the whip with redoubled anxiety. She
busied herself at the gas stove making
chocolate, and neither spoke a word
for several moments. Then Evans
broke in hurriedly upon them.
"It’s a detective,’’ he cried, rushing
across the room toward the door
which led into the front basement, "I
seen it on the card he sent up to the
missus. 'A. L. Walker, Detective
Headquarters,’ that's what the card
said.” He opened tbe door into tbe
basement.
nut woai aoes ne want: inquired
Charlotte.
“That’s Just what I'm going to Qnd
out. There’s a furnace pipe In there
that is loose, and it opens right un
der where the detective is sitting. 1
can hear every word.” And he disap
peared into the cellar.
“I’m afraid Mr. Evans is not trou
bled by scruples, Mr. Mortimer," said
Charlotte, turning to the gas stove
I again. “I always thought butlers a
i bad lot."
"I’m glad you think so—” began
; Mortimer.
“Why, Mr. Mortimer, what do you
mean 7”
"Of course one can't be jealous of
a butler,” broke in Mortimer, dropping
the whip.
"Jealous? Well, I like that.” With
a toss of the head.
"Perhaps I shouldn’t say jealous,,”
continued Mortimer abashed. "But,
| you see, I wanted to ask you—”
••Wear
"If you’d spend your next evening
out with me, unless you have some
other engagement."
"Next week, on Thursday?" said
Charlotte coquettlshly. ”No, I don’t
| think I have anything on my card.”
! “Then I’ll put you down for next
j Thursday, Miss Charlotte. Thanks!"
"Did you say it was for the grand
opera, Mr. Mortimer?”
“No, Miss Charlotte. For the coach
men’s ball.”
“The coachmen’s liaU?” repeated
Charlotte enthusiastically. “Oh, how
I Jolly. I’ve always wanted to go to
| a coachman’s ball. It’s—It’s rather ex
clusive, isn't it?”
“I should say so,” answered Morti
mer proudly. “Only those who
drive for the west end families are
: eligible.”
A sudden boiling over of the milk
| Interrupted these pleasant anticipa
tions of future happiness, and Morti
mer was dispatched post haste to the
dining room to secure some chocolate.
Charlotte, left alone, reached for her
handkerchief and foend a letter in
the pocket of her apron Evidently
\ ;|T,';
she was deeply Interested, for she
read and reread the letter several
times. Then she untied the handker
chief, disclosing a large diamond ring,
and tried it on several Angers.
"Cracky! A diamond!” cried Evans,
entering suddenly from the cellar.
Charlotte hastily returned the ring to
her pocket.
"It’s my own,” she declared, “it was
given to me by a dear old lady who
has Just died.”
"Stuff and nonsense," broke in the
man roughly. “It’s the diamond some
one stole from the missus—I heard ail
about it through the stovepipe. The
detective is looking for It bow—he’a
going to search the house.”
“But it’s mine, I say—”
"Ah, your game Is up, my girl. Give
me the ring and I wont tell. Say
you’ll marry me—I can sell the dia
mond—”
“Let me go—you hurt me. Help!
Let me go.”
"Perhaps you’ll be good enough to
oblige the lady," said Mortimer, strid
ing down to Evans and giving him a
twist on the collar. "Be off with
you.”
Evans withdrew to one side, angrily,
‘I’m going to tell the detective," he
cried roughly. “Then we’ll see whose
turn It will be.”
The man rushed out of the kitchen
angrily. Charlotte flushed red. "What
Is he going to tell tbe detective?” ask
ed Mortimer.
"He—he—thinks I have stolen this
diamond,” she answered, showing the
ring.
"My god! where did you get that
ring?’ cried Mortimer, ’’and he says
you stole It? Quick—give it to me be
fore the detective comes. I'll say I
took it.”
“But. it’s mine—really—"
"Then what does he mean? Ah. 1
know you wouldn't steal a ring, Miss
Charlotte—you wouldn't steal any
thing more than you’ve already stolen
—my heart—but If I can help you.
only say tbe word.”'
Evans entered a few minutes later
at an unfortunate moment He waa
decidedly gloomy.
“Fine joke, you people may call this,
making game of a man," he muttered,
crossing to the cellar door.
"The detective—you told him?" eag
erly asked Mortimer.
“Yes, 1 told him. 1 goes upstairs
and tells the missus and the detective,
just as he Is about to leave, that her
maid says as she stole the diamond
ring and is waiting In tbe kitchen to
be arrested. At that tbe detective and
the missus commence to laugh, and
tbe deteck be says: ‘Guilty conscience,
my lady. Watch that maid Some
day *sbe'U steal preserves. And be
goes out laughing. And then the missus
turns to me and says: ‘Evans, tbe
detective found my ring under the
hall rug, where It bad fallen.' All
right, ma'am,' says 1, backing out,
for I saw something waa wrong
“ ‘While on the subject, Evans,' con
tinued the missus, perhaps you wtU
explain just how you learned 1 had
lost a diamond ring. I never told
you.' And so I was caught and tbe
beat 1 could do was to ssy that one
of the furnace pipes was loose, and 1
happened to be in the cellar by acci
dent. Now the missus has given me
orders to fix that furnace pipe.”
And he gloomily plonged Into the
cellar.
“So you really believe I had stolen
tbe ring?" said Charlotte.
“Not once. I was prepared to Swear
1 had stolen It, because I love you.”
A terrific crash from the cellar In
terrupted them again at a critical
moment.
What’s that?” cried Charlotte.
“1 think tbe furnace pipe mist have
fallen on Evans,” answered Morti
mer, cheerily, taking her Is bis
arms.
“Poor Evans,” murmured Char
lotte. “And we'll use my diamond
ring as an engagement ring. We must
save money now, yen know.”

Unexplored Arctic Circle.
Away up under the Arctic circle
there are probably tribes, Indian and
Eskimo, whose very existence Is un
known, and here also roam vast herds
of the grandest game to be found on
the face of the globe, and. If reports
are to be credited, many new and
strange beasts.
To penetrate into these unmapped
lands calls for grit end stamina of the
highest order. The pioneer must be
prepared to face hardships and perils
as great as those of arctic and ant
