its decorations, its titles, its careful
system of grading, its niusio and ban

It is do dishonor, bat an honorable
employment from the first and the
rapid means of advancement. Men
women and children all should belong
to it all that is, below tbe grade of
Biciency which needs no care For
the children this is the vital base of
the matter a sjBtem of education tbe
beet we have should guarantee the
fullest development possible to each
trom the carefully appointed nursery
and kindergarten up to tbe trade
school fitting the boy or girl for life;
or if special capacity be shown for
higher education.
This at once stops the lowering
process it h aves the Btate only tbe ex
istiug crop of low efficients to handle
and insures tbe higher eraoieccy of
the neit generation. Those old enough
to work should be employed as fol
lows: enough should be placed on
farm to provide for tliH entire body.
These farms should be model farms
under the best management furnishing
experiment stations and bases for
agricultural instruction as well as the
food for the whole army and all its
officials; and where oottoo and such
piodacts were rsised they would be
a further source of inoome. As largo
percentage of the negro population is
best tnlted to agricultural labor this
would prove a very Important working
base for the Institution. By modern
methods of advanced agriculture the
land would be improved the best re
sults obtained from it and tbe laborers
continually taught their business.
The surrounding country would be
benefitted by these stations.
Another large number In mills and
shops belonging to the undertaking
would make clothing nniforma etc
for them all ; and another detachment
would assist In the necessary buildng.
All these are but the internal
functions of the new body; its direct
servioe to society would be iu meeting
the crying need of the whole South
for better roads, harbors, river bauks
and the general development of the
country. Construction trains carry-
ing bauds of the new workmen officers
sua men w ith their famlliet with work
for the women and teaching for the
children would carry the laborer along
the road he made and Improve the
country at tremendous speed.
"With propel food suitable hours of
work rest and amusement without
the strain of personal initiative and
responsibility to whiob so many have
proved unequal, a great amount of
proa active labor would be thus
brought to the servioe of tbe com
munity. As fast as any individuals
proved themselves capable of working
on their own initiative tbey would be
graduated with honor. This institu
tion shoo Id be compulsory at tbe bot
tom, perfectly free at the top.
Each company would nave its
clerk, each individual would have his
enarate account as soon as bis labor
passed the amount necessary for tbe
support of the institution, and, when
above that amount, a wage land
should accumulate credited; to each
famishing small capital to start
with when graduated. Many who
would 'not perhaps prove capable of
entire personal reeponlbility, could
be organised in small post graduate
groups of farms or shops, and so re
main until tbey went on to higher
efforts or Derhape came back into tbe
army.
"What this amount to Is simply
State organization of tbe negro, under
conditions wholly to his advantage,
and therefore to ours.
"The unorganized negro does not j
am capable in many instances of j
utilizing his own force. This organ!-
tat ion providt s tbe machinery best to
1 elicit and apply tbe working foroe of
' this great mass of people, and would
do so at no lose whatever. "
i Tti la, of course. Is tbe corvee or
system of enforced labor, which in
it worst forms baa been tbe disgraoe

By means of this work any student
who bas not time to attend college or
high school, can pursue, with hardly
any cost, practically the same work by
correspondence through the university
courses, and receive credit for it.
Thousands of dollars each ysar are
sent out of Oregon to varions corres
pondence schools, and tbe University
believes that a large part of thia
might just as well be raved to the
oeonln of the state. The enrollment
of this department will reach 3000
students for the year.
A Common Cold.
We claim that if catching cold could be
avniiled some of the miM dangerous and
fatal diseases would never be heard of. A
cold often forms a culture bed for germs of
infectious disease. Consumption, pneu
monia, diphtheria and srarlet fever, four of
the moat dangeroiu and fatal diseases, are of
thin class. The culture bed formed by the
cold fuvor the development of the germa ol

What will appear very Interesting
to many people herej la tbe article
taken from a Mew York dally paper,
nivlng simple prescription, which is
said to be a positive remedy for back
act' a or kidney trouble or bladder de
rangement, if taken before tbe stage
of Bright'! disease:
Fluid extract of dandelion, one-halt
ounce ; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound 8yrup Sarsparllla, three
onnce. Shake well In a bottle and
take in teasooooful doses Hfter each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this
prescription, stated that the lngre
dleuta are alt harmless and can be oh
taiued at a small cost from any good
DrescriDtion pharmacy, or the nilxtore
would be put up If asked to ao so.
He further stated that , while this
Dreeoription ia often prescribed in
rheumBtio afflictions with splendid
results, he could see no reason why it
ould not be a splendid remedy for
kidney and nrinary tioubles ana
backache, as it has a peculiar aotlon
upon the kidney structure, cleansing
these most important organs and
helping them to sift and filter from
tbe blood the foul acids and waste
matter which cause "icknesa and
suffering. Those of our readers who
snffer can make no mistake in giving
it a trial. 10 9 8t
