WANTS TO KNOW NATIVE CONDITIONS It In Hmiioi-ori Tluit I'lvslcW-nt Is Not Going to Africa to limit Solution of (lie IUico rioMcni 1h Coiihidcrid a Job lilg Enough for tlio lrewl-(Iiit. No story concernlnfj President ItiMixevelt In a long timo hrm arousej o much lntm-nt us the one. sent out from Wnnhlnfrtntl recently to the ef fect that the tnulii purpuric of hlH pro jected vlHlt to Africa It) not big gumo at all, but to otudy the negro on his nutlve soil. We are told that Mr. RooHcvelt believes the nice question Ih the gniveHt one confronting Am erican gtntcxmanHhlp today, and that a study of the negro In Africa may go a long way toward solving the problem of the negro In America. There Ih an Intimation that Mr. Roosevelt Is convinced that, upon re tiring from the presidency, he can devote hl.s time no more profitably than to a Hi u.lv of t h Ih question. 1Itc lies a field of endeavor with possibilities f f achievement vast enoiik'h to satisfy the stupendous en ergy of even Theodore Roosevelt. If he can take the lead In a solution of this problem, so perplexing that the wisest grow grave In contem plating It, he will have a place In his tory unexcelled by any other Ameri can unexcelleil in the history of man anywhere. No other iiiestlon has so engrossed the best thought of the present gener ation of Americans, and a solution Is no nearer at hand than It was a gen- ration ago, while the need of a snlu tlon Is much more Imperative. It Is said President Lincoln had In mind Home scheme of colonization, and col onization is the only thing that hns even been proposed In the way of solution. The obstacles In the way of colonization are so vast, so appar ently Insuperable, that the bravest have (mailed before them. One great man expressed the accepted view when he said that separation of the mi- lu the onlf uolotion Tuiwulliln nn.l' that scparatln was absolutely impos sible. Can Roosevelt overcome these nbtacles? He probably can come as near as any living man. Certainly the Job Is big enough to satisfy him . and to keep him busv the rest of his natural life. Ills VIM4 I'liex!. In discussing the matter It must bo remembered that President Roose velt has never said publicly that he believes In colonizing the negro Rut It Is well known that he appreciates the necessity of lining something In a situation that Is all the time grow ing more acute, and that he has glv n some of his best thought to the problem. The years since the civil war have demonstrated that the races cannot dwell together In amity, that In enforced propinquity of dwelling there Is ever the dread prospect of race conflict, the crudest, most ruth less warfare man ever engages In. The best of the negroes do not aspire to social equality, but they do Insist upon political equality. To this end the white man, especially the white man of the south, will not consent. Nor Is denial of political equality con fined to the south. In the north the negro may vote and hold minor of fices, but neither Massachusetts, nor Ohio, nor Montana would suffer a negro to he governor nor send bin) to the senate of the I'nlted States. The negro enjoys rudimentary po litical rights In the north because he Is not tliere In sufficient numbers to constitute a political menace. If he were there Is no reason to doubt that Massachusetts would go as far as Mississippi In the determination to prevent political domination by the negro. It was President Roosevelt who de clared the door of hope should not be closed to any man because of his race or color. There are not lacking evidences that for the past three or four years Mr. Itoosevelt has been at work on the problem. He has conferred with negro leaders, with southern white men and with thinkers In the north. Perhaps he even now has an embry onic plan. If he has set his heart to this task It would explain many things that have seemed Inexplicable In the past. It Is certain the country would eagerly receive any project he might enfold, and If It appeared he had found the solution untold resour ces would be at his command. The Oirneglcs and the Rockefellers would be shown a use for their millions that would make the building of libraries nnd the endowing of universities seem foolish things. There are many negro leaders who nre Just ns anxious for a solution of the race problem as any white men, and upon the cooperation of these Mr. Roosevelt could count, provided he evolved o plan that promised a so lution without injustice to the negro It goes without saying that Mr. Roosevelt would not seek Injustice to the negro. There never was a time when n greater task awaited the coming of n nian. If Mr. Roosevelt has in mind that he may be the man owalted, he will find his fellow counlrymen eager to give him a trial. this city today. A resolution having this object In view has been present ed to the synod. Other Important matters to be con sidered Include the treatment of the sick by spiritual methods; religious education In the schools; the promo tion of the temperance cauHe; meth ods of refuting the "errors" of the Higher Criticism, and the establish ment of a church newspaper. The most vital question before the. synod, that of promoting church union, Is presented In a motion by Judge Krmatlnger, oh follows: "That this synod consider It advls. able to Invite the co-operation of other Christian churches or bodies in the furtherance of the following ob jects: More effective co-operation In Chrlstlun and moral reform work. The defining, territorially or other wise, of the fields of missionary and other effort on the respective lllUrches Or bodies. The encourage ment of a spirit of brotherhood and unity among all denominations of Christians, with a view lo their ulti mate corporate reunion. Such other subjects as the several participating or ullled churches, or bodies, may from time to time agree upon, and that a standing committee, composed of members from each house, be ap pointed to invite, meet, consult, and act In concert with similar delega tlons from the other churches or bodies and to report from time to time to this synod." This motion, If carried In toto, will be a most decided effort to bring ;ibout the union of the churches. Another motion provides that the synod place on record Its opinion that some way should be provided under the public schools system to secure such religious Instruction In primary and secondary schools and universi ties, the teaching of such religious Instruction an the different denomi nations may deem proper for their children.

Oftlmes you read In the pages legendary history, delightful tales fantasy, woven around thread! mvsteries of a higher sphere, which the enchanting echoes of some feminin" voice stir and Inspire the ai tors of an unknown world Into per fect harmony.
