BOWARDS - Editor navrad , in Pivtoftic a wcorui ..ela matter SOME WHOLESOME ADVICE. At one of the sessions of the colored Sunday school convention that baa just closed hi this town trot. John K. Hawkins, president of Kittrell College, delivered an address filled with some wusellent advice to his race. The address was delivered to a crowded house, and especially empha sized the fact that all people, and es pecially the young people of the col ored race should heartily condemn ev ery tendency toward lawlessness and idleness. While the advice given by the col ored educator is good wnolesome doc trine for everybody, it is especially applicable to the condition in life of those for whom it was especially in tended his negro auditors. There is no denying the fact that Jawlessness Is one of the curses of the negro race today. As evidence tend log to prove this assertion let notice be taken of criminal dockets in all our courts from the highest to the lowest, JUurhl here at home one can see in the reports of the mayor's court as they appear la the Fkejs Pkess that the colored culprit is considerably more in evidence than he ougnt to be, con stituting about three-iourths of the cases. Inseparably connected with this vice of lawlessness is another vice that the speaker called attention to the vice of idleness. Lawlessness Is rooted and grounded in idleness. When a boy, girl, man or woman, white or colored, gives up to idleness, jrou may look out for an outbreak of seme form of lawlessness, and that too t no distant date. It has ever been true, and it will al ways be (rue so long as human nature ''4s constructed as it is, that "satan ilnda some mischief still for idle hands to do." The best antidote for lawless ness it a plenty of work and strict at tectUm thereto. Prof. Hawkins did well to call the Attention of the colored people to these two vices, and to urge tuem to abstain from both. May other negro leaders emphasise the same points in their ef lorts to uplift their race. i AMERICA IS BECOMING SENILE ,By Count UO TOLSTOI f.-. " V1-" i , iii .A O IHE INDIAN SCANDALS. Not long ago Uncle Sam decided to treat the Indians like men, and to cease granting him special privileges and pauperising him. So the old reservation system was abandoned, and the policy of allotting lands in severalty to the red man was adopted, The reservation system Isolated the Indian from civilization and kept them in barbarism, and the severalty sys tern, although calculated to afford them a chance to become independent and progressive has up to the present date netted the country merely a rich har vest of scandals. To make the change from the reser vation system to the free hold system fairly and honestly the Dawes oommis' ion was appointed. But the members of this commission saw at once the rich opportunity for graft afforded in the . position to which they were ap pointed and they were not slow in vailing themselves of their oppor tunity. Immediately real estate companies prang up for the purpose of speculat ing in these Indian lands, and the members of the Dawes commission be came stockholders and officers in the al estate company. - It is said that such companies would lease lands that had been allotted the Indians at, say, 25 to 75 cents an acre, and then sublet their holdings at from fl to 12.50 an acre. The corruption Jhaa become so great in this Indian department of the interior that public attention Ms now focused upon scan dals therein almost as nauseous as those of the postofBoe department.- ' It is simple Justice to the public that flje workings of the department be speedily investigated.

Voltaire said that France was rotten before, she was ripfc, but what shall be said of a nation whose ideals have perished almost in one generation! Your Kuierrions, Uarrinona and Whittiers are all gone. You produce nothing but rich men. In the years before and after the civil war the soul life of vour people flowered and bore fruit. YOU ARE PITIFUL MATERIALISTS NOW. What is needed in America is A GREAT RELIGIOUS MOVE MENT. Truth will make your people free. When they abandon pleasure as an object of life they will not need so much money. Your workimjnien can never win the right against capital by labor unions. Capital will always have the government and the army on its side. True religion ia this: If I believe that I have a spark of the divine in me, then I am a part of God, and I know my place in the universe, and I know that 1 have a duty to all other men., If I believe that I am simply an animal I will live like an animal and work for. rrnsolf. THE MAX WHO BECOMES A TRUE CHRISTIAN HAS A CENTER FROM WHICH HE CAN SEE ,ALL THINGS CLEARLY. Why should Americans send a petition to Russia? We have a crime like the Kishineff outbreak once in a period of years. In the United States they have lynchings every year, every month, every week, almost every day. They hang negroes, shoot them, roilt them. It is an ordinary thing in the United States. Yet they feel that they can address a petition to the emperor of Russia regarding the Kishineff murders.

Some one asked Emerson what he should do if the Bun should grow cold and the earth die. He answered, "I think that I could get along without them." That was a good reply A It Bhowed that he was sure of his spiritual life. Why do Americans neglect their souls for the sake of trade, for the aakoaof money, for -the sake of pleasure? Some one invents the autonAbile. At once everybody feels that automobiles must be used. T why should, a man waste his time in dashing about the countryV n automobile? As soon as you invent something to SAVE TKkc you begin to WASTE riJVli by using it constantly and without reason. Five hundred years hence the descendants of tjie race will look back with astonishment to a time when their ancestors wasted their strength in building such nonsensical structures and devoted a large part of their lives to preposterous rapid travel. I have but one ambition I WOULD DIE A. MARTYR'S DEATH. So a man whose mind is occupied with trusts, labor unions, politics or money can hardly understand me.

" ' r - i lave i're more to if ! j -''j By LOUIS DC L0SEL, French Engineer !OR years it has been my dream to unite New York and Paris by rail, and I think it will eventually be realized. A company has been formed to carry through the project. THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT HAS BE COME INTERESTED in it and has granted conces sions to build a line from Irkutsk to Bering strait. We are now trying to secure privileges from the Canadian government to build on its land, with the right to hold Pacific terminals. I think these will be granted. The road as planned will open the Alaska mining region. Fifty million dollars has been promised to begin the Under taking. SIX YEARS WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE' THE LINE, and when finished the trip in cars from New York to Paris can be made in fourteen days. I have personally explored the entire route as proposed and am confident the road can be builti The route is from Irkutsk to Jakoutsk, thence to East cape and from there direct to Bering strait and thence to Yukon City- The greatest feature of the road will be A TUNNEL UNDER BERING STRAIT, as a ferry is not practicable. This will be the most .ex pensive part of the work.i I estimate the entire line can be built at a cost of $200,000,000, which will include everything. !; KINDERGARTENS and DEMOCRACY By RICHARD WATSON GILDER, Poet end Journalist iMERICA sis bravely attempting to be a true democracy, and the American kindergarten is forever STRENGTH ENLNG TILE ' FOUNDATION OF THAT DEMOC- ; RACY in its influence upon the children and through them upon the people at large. In bur social life of today there are influences that strongly militate against what hare hitherto' been thought to be the fundamental principles of this de mocracy of ours namely, open and fair dealing between men and the protection and preservation of rights through publio and estab lished agencies. ' Today there is a reign of ILLEGAL PROCEDURE . AND GHASTLY BRUTALITY, in connection, with the suppression ef crime. There is, too, an increase of selfish violence not onlr as between the supposedly opposinglnterests of labor and capital," but also as between the interests of various groups of labor, and there is an alarming extension of the violence of venality in the domain of local snd other government 'Along with" this there is a BRU TAL DISPLAY OF UNSOCIAL LUXURY, the semi-insanity of irresponsible wealth- v. .
