Monticello (Ind.) Herald. "The summer vacation of the business man is fast becoming an established institution in this country. Not only is this so, but every employe has his two weeks in the year. But where does the farmer come in? He toils from morning until night ev.ry day in the year, and his work is never ended. Ofttimes it runs into the night and he is up the next morning before day, and this is invariably the case in harvest time. If there is any man on earth who really needs a vacation it Is the farmer and the farmer's wife and daughter." Goodland Herald. The above seems to be a little far-fetched as relates to the farmer. About two months from now all letters of rural correspondents will be teeming with stories of family reunions, oyster suppers, visits, etc., in all the farming communities. There is not a week of the past season but what the local papers of this county have chronicled one or more farmers and their families away on a visit. If the farmer does not take advantage of the numerous excursions offered by railroads it is either because he is too greedy after more money or is too hard run to afford it. His business pushes him no more that does that of any ordinary merchant. The winter has always been the play time of the farmer and he has usuallytaken advantage of it. tbicugo: Half Free and Fighting: On.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind., Sept. 29. When Jailer Jones left the courthouse this evening with Ulysses Williams, after sentence had been passed on him. for attempt at criminal assault, Mrs. William Veach, of Sweetser, mother of the child abused, ran frantically toward the prisoner and tried to attack him. She was followed by her husband. Turnkey Jones drew his revolver and commanded Veach and his wife to stand back and then hurried wi,th the prisoner to jail. Mrs. Ve,ach was much excited and called to people on the streets to take Williams away from the officer and lynch him. She endeavored to follow the officer and hia prisoner to jail, but was restrained. Williams was this evening sentenced to sorve 100 days in jail and to pay a fine of 100. The Veach family believed that Williams should have been sent to the penitentiary. Williams is a music teacher. Three months ago, when arrested by the sheriff at Sweetzer, charged with attempting to assault Hazel Veach. aged ten, a mob of 200 tried to take Williams away from the officer. He was hurried from Sweetser and taken to Wabash for safe keeping. Williams's home is said to be at 1131 Twenty-seventh street, Indianapolis. The name of Ulysses Williams does not appear in the Indianapolis directory for the current year and there is no Williams in the list that could be identified as having connection with him.

President of Tuskegee Talks to Baptist Contention About His Raee. Philadelphia Press. The position occupied by the delegates to this convention is a very serious and responsible one. In a very large degree you hold the future of the negro race in your hands. The responsibility resting upon the negro minister is a peculiar one. He has to perform many duties that the white minister Is not called upon to perform. The masses of our people look to the minister for instruction in matters of education, industry and business. In a very large degree the negro minister during the last twenty-tive or thirty years has been th preserver of peace and harmony between the races. But for the forbearance and patience and the gentle tact of the negro minister many race riots would have occurred in our country. You will find one of the problems that is going to press more m riously upon you for solution in the near luture than in the past is the one of employment for our people, especially in the Northern cities. Competition is becoming more and more severe. The nrro who comes to Philadelphia, for example, from the South, naturally finds more severe eomp tition in the matter of industrv, bnt he rinds himself surrounded by temptations on every hand and between competition and the temptations a very large proportion of the race is likely to go down unless they are guided caret nil y and wisely by the ministers. I have been sorry to note that in the city of Chicago within the Iat few months 800 or 1.000 of our p-pi,- were turned out of restaurants where they had occupied positions as waiters for many years. Their places were taken by men of another race. We must see to it that what has taken place in Chicago does not take place in other parts of the country. V cannot hold our own in the labor world unless we ure constantly taking advantage of every opportunltv to improve ourselves. We must not only become seekers of positions, but must become creators of positions. Another phase of life with which the ministers should be deeply concerned is the large number of idle loafing young men that are to be found upon the street corners of every large city. These loafers should have brought to bear on them such an Influence that they will be compelled to seek honest, productive work. Now is th.' time for th- negro to seek homes in every prt of this country. Land is cheaper now than it will ever be again. We must plant ourselves in the soil and become taxpayers. In proportion as we

A poverty-stricken raco is not a race that is respected, and has great influence in the counsels of the nation or in business circles. We must not only be a race of money earners, but of money savers. Bish p Candlei of Georgia, struck, in my opiniot.. the heart of the race question a few days ag-o wher. he said that each race should try to correct the evils among Its own people, and that the white raee should cease abusing the negro at long range, and that the negro at the same time should cease his crossfire at the white man. Tha ngro minister is in a peculiarly good position to put this advice into practice. We must cultivate the disposition of drawing the line between the good and the bad. the moral and the immoral. In some parts of our country the Hue ia too lax and the result is that all of us are classed together. In the Northern Statea especially In addition to hia other duties, the nearo minister should speak out in no uncertain tone against the unfortunate habi that I fear is growing, that of bartering away his vote for gain. No people who sell their votes, whether white or black, ire worth of the privilege of the American franchise. Do not understand from the tone of my remarks that I do not appreciate the tremendous progress which the race has made since it became free. This progress has been maintained in the midst of difficulties and discouragements that would have well-nigh overwhelmed a less determined race. We are still going forward and intend to go forward with a greater degree of spirit. The negro race in this countrv has tha vitality to survive not oniy slavery, war. reconstruction, lynching and mobs, but also the dreams of the theorize." declared Rev. Dr. Dean Richmond Babbitt, rector of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Epiphany. Brooklyn, in speaking upon some race problems that confront the American people at present. "The negro race in America has now arrived at the most critical point in its history since emancipation. "Everything has been said and done for the negro and about the negro except to treat him fairly. The negro question in its largest aspect is hardly a race question at all. It Is a moral question, a religious question. Into that moral and religious question of the negro in America there enter racial, economic, educational, political, administrative questions, but bevond all else the moral dyuamic is needed 'by white man and black man alike." CONCERNING PENSIONS. Erery Old Soldier Who IVeeds a Pen ion Is Advised to Apply. New York Christian Advocate. That some persons undeserving pensions have received them Is not to he doubted, but there have come under our own notice not a few instances where from the lack of political influence at least no other cause was discernible worthy men and the widows of soldiers have been thrust aside, or relieved only when worn out and they were about to sink into the grave aud then with the least possible sum that could be given. Notwithstanding the great number of pensioners, there are stlil many entirely eligible who have a shamefaeedness about applying. When at last by misfortune, ill health or old age the are driven to apply, they Mud that the fact that they have not done so before is in their way. We advise every person eutitled to a pension and feeling the need of it to apply. It l oao of the country's debts of honor. We also sustain the Pension Departmmt in the policy of scrutinizing every application, but when scrutiny becomes a mania so that the proceedings of the bureau are conducted upon the assumption that every man who applies for a pension is a scoundrel and a swindler unless he proves that he is not, such "watchdogs of the treasury" are like the German butcher's dog, who in his seal to prevent thieves from stealing meat attacked the regular customers of the establishment. The total number of pensioners now on the rolls Is 9yt,545. Uf tlies. 7j;.356 are soldiers, and 267,139 are widows and dependents. Five of the pensioners are on th roll on account of the war of the revolution; 1.116 on account of th war of 1812, 4.734 oa account of the Indian wars, and 13.R74 on account of the Mexican war. 'ommlssloner Ware recommends laws forfeiting the pension or right to pension of any man convicted in court of an infamous crime; also the prohibiting of the giving of pensions to women who marry s ldiers after the soldiers have become old pensioners. The cost of the pension system per capita of the population for 190S Is 11.75. Ten years ago it was 12.24. Since that time It has shrunk from $2.24 to $1.32 per thousand dollars of taxable wealth. The commissioner estimates that exclusive of deserters there are now in this country 200,000 unpensioned survivors of the civil war. This unknown army is meeting with disease and misfortune to such an extent that it is applying for pensions at the rate of over 14.0 a year. He predicts that in ten years "the unknown army" of yet unpensioned civil war veterans will have ceased to be factor. The I li en c doled Down. Sullivan (Ind.) I'nion. A Jury was chose n In a Princeton justice's court one day last meek consisting of eleven white men and one colored householder and voter of the township. Before the trial btgan one of the Jurors announced that he would not serve on a jury with a "nigger" and the other ten promptly said they would tot either, and the Justice remonstrated with them but they Instated they would return to their work, but as a last resort tha justice read the law to them, and when they saw Just what their attitude was and that they were in contempt of court, and would be sent for by an officer, they changed their minds and settled down to business Cpon second thought they doubtless saw that each man was responsible only for his own acts and the fact that one of their number happened to be a little darker In color than the others could In no way relieve them from performing their duty. None of the burdens of the negro was cast upon them and If the parties to the suit were satisfied the Jury h'd no grounds for complaining.
