THE SERVANT PROBLEM IN THE SOUTH.

The possib ilities of the negro (as of any) race are to be gauged by its h ighest p rod­ucts.

A m ong the d istingu ished colored m en w hom we have been priv ileged to know personally , D ouglass, B ruce, W ash ing ton , and o thers, none have been tru e r to the race nor h igher exem plars of its possib il­ities th an Prof, W .

E xtracts From S p eech es by Prof. W. H.Councill, P resident A. & M.

College for N egroes, Norm al,Alabam a.

Professor C ouncill said in his speech before the S ou thern In d u s tr ia l A ssocia­tion a t H u n tsv ille , A labam a, October 12th 1899:

“ P e rm it m e to call your a tten tio n to an e lem en t of N egro labor w hich is alw ays le ft ou t of these d iscussions—T H E N E ­GRO W OM AN.

She is the strong -elem ent in N egro charac ter, no tw ith s tan d in g her poverty , w eakness, tem p ta tio n s—naked and bare to a t ta c k —w ith no th ing b u t th e sublim e exam ple of the S ou thern w hite w om an’s c h a s tity held up a fa r off before her—th is w om an is figh ting a b a ttle for life w hich m u st en lis t your sym path ies.

H alf a m illion N egro wom en are in tro ­duced to the p rivacy of ha lf a m illion bedcham bers, and hold in th e ir pure or im pure arm s half a m illion w hite c h il­dren, who in some m easure are pure or im pure as th e ir nurses affect them .

H ere is a problem in a problem , w hich concerns the h ighest w elfare of the w hite South .

I pay no com plim ent, I pronounce no fulsom e encom ium , w hen I s ta te a fac t as c lear as the sun in the blue heavens, th a t the w hite w om an of the South is one of the h ighest types of pure, spotless w om ­anhood in the recorded h is to ry of m an.

T his exam ple is the rich property of the N egro w om an of the South.

B u t I p lead for m ore th an exam ple.I w an t th is w h ite w om an to b rea the

her pure spotless soul in to these half m il­lion N egro m aids who hold in th e ir arm s

h alf a m illion sunny haired A nglo-Saxon ch ild ren .

D raw n ear to these girls.I w an t th e ir hom es in the w h ite w om ­

a n ’s hom e.I w an t them by n ig h t and by day un ­

der her C hristian influence, to be lifted as only w om an can lift.

W ill the w hite w om an in self pro tection be forced to do th is?

Do no t delude yourselves by prom ises of b e tte r and m ore m oral se rvan ts from any o th er race.

The N egro is true to his tru st.H as he ever deceived you?As bad ly as he w anted freedom , he

would to-day be in slavery before he w ould have betrayed your confidence in those dark days w hen you could no t pro­tec t your w ives and ch ild ren .

T h a t N egro ch a rac te r is s till here.C u ltiv a te it.As we recover from the sudden shock

of lib e rty i t w ill assert itse lf in us, and if you w ill d raw n ear to us, the U ncle Jim s, and B lack M am m ies of freedom w ill be even n earer and d earer to you th a n those of slavery d ay s .”

In his speech in C hattanooga, F eb ru ary 14th, 1901, he s a id :

“ There are two sides to the se rvan t problem .

L e t us reason together on it.I hold th a t i t is our d u ty to p repare

ourselves to do com petent, fa ith fu l, sa tis ­fac to ry service of every ch a rac te r in the S o u th ; to deport ourselves w ith a ll be­com ing d ign ity , good behav io r and re­spect tow ard our em ployers, to go clean and nea t, to grow in in te lligence and p ro ­ficiency in the d ischarge of our du ties.

On the o ther hand , such service de­m ands the k indness and pro tection of the em ployers, com fortable q u arte rs for our g irls under the protection of th e ir m is­tress ; sufficient pay to encourage the se r­v a n t and to enable the se rv an t to get out of His rags and patches and p resen t th a t personal appearance so necessary to the d ign ity and m ake up of the se rv a n t class of the South.

W hen the rig h ts and du ties of both classes are properly considered in the lig h t of justice and fairness, and each class resolves to do its du ty , com plain t w ill van ish and confidence betw een m aste r and se rv an t w ill be estab lished , honesty w ill be cu ltiva ted , roguery w ill d isappear, and the peace and tra n q u ility of Southern hom es w ill be as “ the dew of H erm o n .”

In his speech a t Roger W illiam s U n i­versity , M ay 15, 1901, and a t P h ilad e lp h ia Ju n e 18, 1901, he sa id :

“ E v ery N egro boy and g irl should be ta u g h t to w ork and to work hard a ll the tim e.

W hip idlers from am ong us as the bee stings ou t the drone.

Id lers produce crim e and crim inals.W e m u st ask no th ing , b u t a chance to

work and to be paid for our work.E n v y no m an.Take no th ing from any m an.E very honest N egro d raym an , se rv an t-

g irl, w ash-w om an, m echanic, hotel boy, barber who does his d u ty in an in te lligen t, com petent, tru s tw o rth y m anner is a queen or prince am ong m en.

No honest labor is dishonorable.I t is m ore blessed to serve than to be

served in any w alk of life.The se rv an t g ir l’s hood and apron above

an honest h e a r t and educated b ra in are as honorable as the college cap and gown.

L et the N egro race ca rry the pick in one hand and the olive b ranch of peace in the o th e r.”

MISS SENSENEV KEEPS COOL.

D e a r M. O. T. B. S.Since I w rote you la s t I have seen

m uch of th is beau tifu l n o rth e rn coun­try .

I f you have never been here you can scarce ly realize the difference in c lim ate , betw een Illino is and M ichigan

W hile it has been so w arm in Chicago th a t even the the rm om ete r persp ired ,here it is cold enough for w in te r flannels and heavy golf capes; w hile a t n ig h t we can see the n o rth e rn lig h ts and the s ta rs look so w hite and cold.

E v e ry th in g in th is p a r t of the coun try is associa ted w ith the Ind ians.

In com ing here from Chicago, you trav e l a lm ost the en tire leng th of L ake M ichigan to T raverse B ay , and then th rough L ittle T raverse B ay, to “ W eque- to n sin g ,” w hich m eans a “ B ay w ith in a b ay .”

A cross the bays lies the lit tle town of Petoskey , nam ed a fte r old C hief Potos- key, and all the places of in te re s t are nam ed a fte r the In d ian s w ho once owned the land.

A ll the stores are filled w ith bead-w ork and sw eet g rass In d ian baskets, b irch bark canoes, and various o th e r souvenirs.

The In d ian s you m eet on th e s tree ts do no t look like our own fine-looking, h ea lth y C arlisle studen ts, and scarcely one w hom I have questioned, can answ er m e in E ng lish .

W e had a fine trip the o th er day across the bay to Petoskey, then by tra in to W alloon, and then up B ear L ake in a sm all s team er to the hom e of a friend , w ho has a big log cabin, on the edge of th e w ate r am ong the pine trees.

F rom there our host took us in a steam launch fourteen m iles, up to the head of B ear L ake, w hich w as all so w ild and p ic tu resque th a t I w ou ldn’t have been su rp rised a t any m om ent to have seen deer or bears; in fac t I w as d isappoin ted th a t I d id n ’t, as they rea lly are seen qu ite often.

C om ing back we w ere cau g h t in a squa ll—were in no danger a t a ll, because a launch is safe—b u t we did get w et enough to have to s it around th e fire and d ry off w hen we reached the cabin.

My cousin ’s hom e is called “ L ockehav- en ” and she is the ow ner of the fam ous “ L ockehaven K en n e ls .”

She has the m ost beau tifu l ca ts I have ever seen, and I often wish our sm all boys who love th e ir old grey “ P a tr ic k ,” could see th e cages of ra re and beau tifu l oats, th a t are a lm ost like lovely little babies.

There are dozens of snow w h ite Persian A ngoras, and lovely blue pussies, and one funny lit tle ca t th a t T had to look a t tw ice before I found i t w as no t a sm all pug dog.

I ts nam e w as “ S iam ,” and i t w as tan colored, w ith a b lack nose and funny l i t ­tle yellow eyes, and the m ost im p u d en t don ’t-care look im aginable.

T his M adam Puss cam e from “ S iam ,” b u t h asn ’t been hom esick a m om ent since she reached A m erica. In fac t she told m e she preferred th is coun try , or a t least she said som eth ing th a t sounded very m uch like it.

A fter hav ing beau tifu l c lear days for m y en tire v is it, I w as obliged to leave d ear W equetonsing in a pouring rain , or perhaps the m is t w as in m y own eyes, as I saw the la s t of the lit tle town.

A bout an hour ago, the big steam er cam e up to the lit tle w harf, the passen­gers w en t aboard , and then ju s t as the ropes w ere th row n aboard and the gang p lank d raw n in, th e lit tle bugler, w ay up on the top deck, blew a farew ell, and

ju s t because one passenger w as lonely , be­cause she w as on a b ig s team er a ll by h er­self, she th o u g h t she w ould send a line to the M. O. T. B. S., and to -n ig h t w hen the lit t le bugler m oun ts h is deck an d sounds “ T ap s,” she w ill close h e r eyes and send a good n ig h t to C arlisle , for a f te r a ll th e bes t place in the w orld is the old C u m b er­land V alley.

A NOTABLE WEDDING.

B oth are em ployed in th e governm en t schools on the C heyenne and A rapaho reserva tion , the bride as a teacher, and the groom as a fa rm er, and each lias ach ieved unusual success in work.

On th e occasion of th e w edding the lovely hom e of M ajor and M rs. S touch w as la v ish ly decorated , v ines w andering everyw here over w indow s, doors, p ic t­ures, and arches.

The d in ing tab le w as beau tifu lly ad o rn ­ed w ith flowers and vines, w hile ribbons passed from the hang ing lam p to the co r­ners of the table, and the parlo rs w ere banked w ith flowers.

The b rid e ’s dress w as of w h ite silk , trim m ed w ith lace, her veil w as fastened w ith w h ite roses, and she ca rried L a F rance roses.

I t w ould no doub t have aston ished those who consider the case of th e In d ian s hopeless, if th ey could have seen the dignified, gracefu l behav io r of these two, w hose p aren ts w ere n o t educated , b u t who have them selves adopted c iv iliza tion and resolved to devote th e ir energies to tra in in g the ch ild ren of th e ir own race in th e princip les w hich have done so m uch for them selves.

I t is unkind to say you have no th in g to w rite to those on the reserva tion , w ho are cu t off from m uch th a t you are seeing and enjoying.

I t is easie r for them to get som e one to read the le tte rs th a n it is to find som e one w ho w ill s it down and w rite for them .

Som e v is ito r gave h im a looking-glass.I t is a sm a ll round glass, and the m on­

key is v ery proud of it.T he o th e r m onkeys in h is cage have

tr ie d by every possible m eans to get i t aw ay from h im , b u t have failed .

H e guards the looking-glass v ery ca re­fu lly .

F o r hours a t a tim e he w ill s it gazing a t h im self in the m irro r, and acts as though he w as proud of h is new friend th a t gazes back a t h im .

Som etim es he w ill place it to h is ea r as though he th o u g h t the person in the g lass w ould speak to h im .

A t o th e r tim es he w ill look a t the back of th e g lass and s tudy i t as though he w ere try in g to find ou t w here the im age in th e g lass can keep him self.

T hen som etim es he gets ang ry and tr ie s to figh t the im age, and he w ill b ite th e glass fu riously , b u t he has never broken th e glass.

M onkeys, as a ru le are fickle.T hey forget th ings qu ick ly , and they

often th row aw ay a p la y th in g as soon as an o th er is g iven them .

B u t the looking-glass is d ifferent.T he m onkey th a t has the looking-glass

show s no d isposition to p a r t w ith it.H e even goes to sleep w ith i t firm ly

clasped in h is paw , or else he p u ts i t in h is m ou th . H e c a n ’t g e t i t a ll in h is m o u th , b u t he holds i t in h is m outh w hile he sleeps.

On one occasion th e o th e r m onkeys in th e cage held a council,and p u t up a p lan how to ge t th e glass aw ay from him w hile he w as asleep.

T hey th o u g h t if th ey could h u r t h im and m ake h im scream , the glass w ould fa ll from h is m outh .

One m onkey w en t below th e perch on w hich the looking-glass m onkey sa t sleeping, and th e re he w aited till the o thers w ere ready .

A n o th er sw ung by h is ta il from a bar and the th ird m onkey sneaked to the rear, and seized the sleeping m onkey ’s ta il w ith h is tee th .

B u t the sleeping m onkey did n o t scream as th ey th o u g h t he w ould. H e u n d er­stood th e s itu a tio n a t once, so he d id no t drop the m irro r, b u t took i t ou t of h is m ou th w ith h is le ft paw and chased the o th e r m onkeys to a fa r corner.

T hen re tu rn in g to h is own perch he sa t and held the looking-glass in fro n t of h is face, and looked in to it, in a very self- satisfied m anner.

One, w hich in te rferes very m uch w ith h is ad v an cem en t along the lines of C h ris­tia n education , in h is love of roving.

Before the w in te r is fa irly broken he be­com es restless and a t once com m ences to p lan for h is su m m er’s cam paign.

A bou t the la s t of M arch he packs his effects, inc lud ing fam ily , even to the baby , w h ich m ay be suck ing a t the m o th ­e r ’s b reast, in to h is canoe, and off he goes to som e fam ilia r cam ping ground.

H av in g fulfilled h is purpose there , w h ich m ay be to g a th e r th e h e rrin g egg, o r seaw eed, or h u n t, he str ik es h is te n t an d padd les off to som e o th e r q u arte r. So th a t, in the course of a sum m er, he w ill have v isited as m any as six or m ore d if­fe re n t cam ps.

H e h as one p lace w here he ga th ers his seaw eed, th e In d ia n ’s le ttu c e ; ano ther w here he ca tches s a lm o n ; an o th er w here he g a th e rs fish eggs, h is m ost re lishab le d is h ; an o th e r w here he hun ts .

A nd so he spends one sum m er, or r a th ­

er season, from M arch to O ctober, roving from place to p lace, engaged in procuring his n ex t w in te r’s supply of food.

D uring th is tim e you w ill see very l i t ­tle of h im in h is v illage or rea l hom e.

H e m ay come in once or tw ice, b u t only to rem ain a day or so—long enough to provide h im self w ith some necessary artic les from the store, w hen he is off again .

L ike our rich c ity cousins in the S ta tes, he boards the doors and w indows of his m ansion and hies h im self in to the coun­try for the season.

B ut, un like them , he provides h im self w ith n e ith e r purse nor scrip (and scarcely coat), and goes fo rth to fish and h u n t for a livelihood and no t for fun.

H ow ever, he gets fun ou t of it, as w ell as profit.
