A WISE VISIT.
Booker T. Washington is in
Europe, where most of his time
will be spent in London and Berlin
drawing comparsons between
conditions in the lowest type of
labor in those cities and those of
the American negro. He also
will devote some time to Southern
Italy observing the agricultuial
methods of that part of Europe
that sends the greatest number
of immigrants to the United States
for labor of the lower grades.
He is wise but he needs to see
the agricultural districts to find
that the whites here have been as
liberal as the land owners in Eu
rope. The greatest step that
cau be made for morality among
the negroes here and the peasants
in Europe are more rooms to the
houses that such must inhabit.
The one and two room hut is a
disgrace to the white race

President Taft cannot say that
he was not wai ned of what would
happen if he accepted the counsel
of those reactionary and standpat
statesmen Cannon and Aldrich.
"What the Republicans need
is harmony, and they can't get it.
What the Democrats need is cash,
and tLey can't get enough to pay
office expenses," while the Republic
cans have trust mouey to burn.
That Liberian loan appears to
have encountered a kind of Afii

by the French. Must we shoulder
"the white man's burden " in
Africa as well as heie!
Senator Crane, on whom Presi
dent Taft now seems to lean,
voted with Senator Aldrich with
a constancy that proves that he
belongs to the old reactionary
gang. Ths insurgents wonld give
greater heed to one that is less
of a standpatter.
to the lamous seasnore resorts
near Norfolk, and every possible
effort will be made by the public
spirited citizens of Norfolk to
make our reunion there the grand
est and most enjoyable we have
ever held. Free entertainment
will be provided for all veterans
who are unable to pay for their
meals and lodging, but all who
wish free eutertaiumeut must at
once notify Mr. Joseph A. Hall,
Secrrtary, at Norfolk, so that
ample preparations may be made
for their comfort. This is im
portaiit and must not be overlot k
ed or delayed. Commanders of
camps are urged to attend to this
without delay.
Par. 3. The railroads will give
reduced rates as usual, and the
exac rate from any station cau
be learned from the local ageut
A delightful trip and treat is in
store for all who attend this
reunion and it is hoped that there
will be a huge attendance of oor
old "Tar Heels," all of whom
will jeceive a most hearty and
hospitable welcome from our Vir
ginia neighbors. Let the cry
