A SAVE ADVISER.Mr. Booker T. Washington spoke words of

soberness and wisdom when he urged the Afro-American Council the other evening not to Mcarried away by passion and resentment andnot to indulge in Indiscriminate denunciationof the South because of the race riots whichnow and then disgrace Southern communities.Such race riots are nor. unknown at the North,yet It would be irrational to denounce North-ern sentiment as a whole as bitterly hostile tothe Negro. We are glad to hear from Mr.Washington himself that, while the Atlantamob committed unpardonable excesses, creditshould be given "to those of the white race"who stood manfully and courageously on the"side of law and order during the recent try-"lng ordeals." In the midst of racial disturb-ances, Mr. Washington assured his auditors,"the country seldom hears of the brave and"heroic acts of a certain element of Southern"white people." Few Northern newspaper read-ers, for Instance, ever knew that at Atlantaduring the riots the Negroes of one of theNegro college settlements outside the city wereguarded against -attack by their white neigh-bors, ft Is well to insist on this feature of thesituation— that at the South, as well as at thoNorth, the Negro who has shown his worth hasfriends, and friends who will see that he Isprotected against brutality and lawlessness.

Mr. Washington was also right Inurging that"every iota of Influence we possess should be"used to get rid of the criminal and loafing ele-ments of our people and to make decent, law-"ablding citizens." We have always contendedthat one of the most effective means of stop-ping lynching* In the South would be the sup-pression by the Negroes themselves of thecrime which most inflames the white man'sresentment. Ifthe Negro race organized itselfinto a society for the extirpation of this crime.most of the existing venom would bo taken outof race relations. A correspondent recentlycomplained that th* Negroes could not do suchpolice work because they wero never allowedto serve as constables and other peace officers.But ifThe disposition were strong enough everyNegro church could be ma do the centre of amisado against a crime which more than any-thing else blocks the way to confidence ndfriendly feeling between the two races. TheNegro has it in his own power, in fa. thusto ..-one-Hate Southern opinion and To restorethat .iuster frame of mind In which the worthymembers of each race win find their virtuesfully recognized by the worthy members of theoilier.

More than six hundred students were duckedin Lake Mendota this afternoon in the annualrush between the freshman nnrl sophomoreclasses. At times there were as many as twohundred students struggling- In the water atonce. There were few casualties, because of theeffectiveness of the measures taken by Presi-dent Van Hise. The rocky beach had beencleared of bowlders, the precipitous bank trans-formed into a gentle slope and a "fair playcommittee of twenty-fivehusky guards stationedon the rushing- field to keep the rushers fromdoinir undue damage to each other. The fresh-men far outnumbered th* sophomores, and werewell organized, but the sophomores, by gainingabsolute control of th« gymnasium doors, wereable to lot only a few freshmen out at a lime,and so ducked the beginners In relays, until theybecame too numerous. Then the two hundredsophomores were quickly soused and trampledupon, and finally driven from the field.

No thoughtful observer of educational activi-ties can doubt that young men who are trainedto dispose of their opponents iv this systematicfashion willbe able to givw a good account ofthemselves when they grapple In contests oftrade or diplomacy with the effete products ofEuropean education. Why, at Ann Arbor theother night fifteen hundred sophomores andfreshmen "fought until they were exhausted"under rules strictly prescribed. What ar« afew paltry Heidelberg duels to that 7

Bui the educators and collegians of to-dayhave changed all that. The modern spirit ofscientific organization has brought order out ofthe undergraduate chaos In which old-timerswallowed. The proceedings at the recent mem-orable meeting of Messrs. (Jans and Nelsonwere not more admirably conducted than the"clash"

—they nre nearly always "clashes," if

we may believe the newspaper -betweenthe young gentlemen of Naughty-nine and 'Tenof tho University of Wisconsin, which tookplace a few days ago. We quote from the ac-count supplied by the veracious scribe of "ThoSt, Paul Pioneer Press":

THE RECORD.Calling men "cockroaches," "croton bugs" and

"rats" will not change facts. A Young-Man-Afraid-of-Hls-Record may wish to divert pub-lic attention from the story of his tortuouscareer by much beating of tomtoms and sling-ing of mud. But to wish, said Ovid, Is of littleaccount. One may cry, "Out, damned spot!"till doomsday, but when doomsday dawns thespot will still be there. The candidate of theDemagogracy cannot get away from his record,and he cannot make the public forget It.

f.;ii.i Mr. Herbert Parsons soberly, when he was

Told that the batting was 3 to 1 on Hughes.Mr. Parsons Is right. Such odds at this stage

In iho campaign ought to be regarded as adanger signal.

Tho present Indications are doubtless even'-

where favorable to the Republican candidate.In some parr« of the state organized hostilityto The Hearst-Murphy combination is defiantly

exhibited by elements which were expected

to show nothing more than mild disapproval.There is clear proof that thousands of Indi-vidual Democrats will not vote for HearstThe screaming insincerity of his appeal hasbeen swiftly demouhtrated. Starting with theboldness of a professional buccaneer, he hasalready bern put on the defensive. Theseourger of corporations has been exposed as

himself a disreputable Corporation, juggling

with the law to promote personal purposes ofon odiously selfish character. The flayer ofbo— who advertised himself as the one pure,unflinching and disinterested defender of thecommon people, has made a hard and fast bar-gain for votes with Murphy, "the chief crimi-nal of them all," from whom be procured atainted nomination.

Mr Hughe*, on the oilier band, having re-ceived tLe nomination for Governor from a con-

vention whose deliberate choice reflected theuniversal estimate of his honesty, courage andcapacity, Is satisfying voters of all parlies thatthe general judgment was correct, lie is mak-ing a vigorous, honorable and convincing cam-paign. Without saying a word below the levelof his own record, li' has stripped the maskfrom his opponent Without a trace of personalv.'Miity. ho has made support of his candidacythe tost of political intelligence and good cttl-zcusbip. The people everywhere welcome himeagerly and hear him with profound attention.

The fact remains, nevertheless, as Mr. Par-sons says, that then* is a menace iv the verycontrast between the men and the most con-spicuous features of their respective campaigns,because of its tendency to produce orerconfl-dence lust at the lime when the. hardest kindof work ought to be going on. Itis certainthat Hearst is working hard and will continueto employ all his resources every minute untilthe polls close. Itwould be folly to underrateb!m. Tt Is the duty of every citizen who be-lieves that Hearst is going to be defeated tohelp make the defeat overwhelming. A nar-row escape would be only lees discreditablethan a reverse.

Itla difficult to understand the attitude of W.

why did lie want the nomination, It Is naturalto inquire, since be treats i;so? How he securedit is known— hew lie bargained with men ho hadpictured In prison stripes and denounced as crim-inals by bogus delectus wlio wire seated in placeof Hemocrats actually chosen; by the institutionof scenes never before seen in or about a statoconvention. Why go all through this costly anddiscreditable proceeding to be followed In thecampaign by almost every form or party u(¥e<t<that could turn Democrats against him?

IMMIGRANTS.Each ship doth bring them; Bee where lest they

standInhuddled groups and stare from side to sideUpon the curious crowds, whose looks derideTheir pleasant faces, garments strange that brandThem aliens; intheir far-off native landEach had his place, though humble: here the tideSweeps him along, an animal, dull eyed.Patient, submissive. What mysterious handHas thus uprooted from their ancient plaoeTbeae myriad exiles, cast them on our shore?And what the purpose? Shall our country beThe crucible of nations whence a race,Shall Issue in dim ages to restoreGod's lmsjr* to mankind and make men free?

An English farmer went into a restaurant InLiverpool to eat some bread and cheese. "'Whatkind would you like, sir?' inquired the waiter."Cheshire, Yorkshire or Gorgonzolar 1 "Fancyname, that last." said the farmer. "I think I'lltry a bit o1o1 th.it. He thought It so tasty thathe took a pound home to his wife and left it onthe sideboard in the kitchen. Next morning hecame In from his ore-breakfast round and in-quired if she had found the parcel. "Oh. yes,"replied she. "Isaw It there all right. And verygood, mottled soap it is. no doubt, when you

know how to use it. But Icouldn't make it lathervery well when Iwashed the children, and after

I'd done they pmelled so strong that I've turned'em out for a breath of fresh air. Just to sweeten'em a bit before they go to school."

If a person's knowledge of English were con-fined to one word, which would be the most useful?This subject was once discussed in the presence ofQueen Caroline, her majesty entering into the ques-tion vigorously, according to "The Dundee Ad-vertiser." The greater number of the company fixedon "Yes." One lady decided on "No." for, sheargued, "though 'Yes' never means 'No/ "No* very

often means 'Yes.' "How many men will indorse

this? After all, one word would be as a drop in the

ocean of our English language. A young womanwho had learned a few Irish words without under-standing them lost herself In the mountains. Meet-Ing a handsome young peasant, she tried her Irishon him. Pat looked astonished, then pleased, and.rubbing his sleeve across his mouth, said: "Arrah!Do ye mane it, miss?' The girl, in her Ignorance,had asked him for a kiss.

Sir James Crlchton-Erowne, the English phyel-

cian. speaking before *oni» members of his pro-fecion, protested against the tendency to adopt toomaterialistic an explanation of man. The rawmaterial of \u25a0 medical practice became a merecontrlvnne* of matter and force: the brain of thispoor consumer of pills and potions, "a gluellke sub-stance, nine-tenths water, with a little phosphorus

thrown In." "They left us man." said B!r Jameswith a smashing figure, "a motor car. self-made-and self-started, with no passengers and nochauffeur, moved by a series of. explosions orredistributions of energy, and rushing on to Inev-itable destruction."

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Mayor Dunne of Chicago want* the State's At-

torney to indict either himself or "The Chicago

Tribune." The Mayor expresses no preference

In the matter, but closely pressed would prob-

ably vote for the Indictment or "The Tribune."

It appears that Irrigation is helping to solve

one of the government most vexing problems,

the Indian question. The execution of the

great Milk River project in Northern Montana

Is being carried on largely by means of Indian

labor. The Blackfeet who are employed are

said to be industrious and capable, and to bemaking good wages and keeping sober. It ispredicted that the reclamation of the Montanadeserts will result, through this training In pro-

ductive industry, In the civilization of the Ind-

ians of that region and their transformation Into

a self-supporting body of citizens.
