So Says Carnegie as He
Boosts Negro Race.
TAFT LAUDS THE SPEAKER.
President Soys Steel King Keeps Him
Busy Making Speeches at New Li
braries Envies Him For All the
Good He Can Do With Money.
AVnshliiKtnn, April 2(5. President Tnft
mid Andrew Ciirnppio were the prin
cipal speakers nt the dedication of ttic
Carnegie library of Howard university.
The president spoke lirielly, referring
to tlio "eivy" men must feel of the
great and tmil work Mr. Carnegie has
done with (lie wealth he has ninde. i
Mr. Carnegie dwelt hi a land of epl
grams; told why he liked to liulld lllira- t
rlcs; declared that to hooks he owed
his success and wound up by predict- .
lng a great future for the negro race.
Mr. Tnft Joked about Mr. Carnegie's i
declaration that ho had been "coin- ,
manded by the president" to attend ;
many functions of dlll'erent kinds.
"Mr. Carnegie," said the president, -"says
that he came here because 1 '
commanded him to. lie Indicated to
you that the command of the president
of the United States was much more
to be obeyed than that of the k'Ing of
England or any other monarch. I do 1
not think It "would be entirely safe for (
him to follow out absolutely that state- '
nient, for It might Involve him in some
things that he might not willingly em
brace. But II gives me great pleasure ,
to come here and testify to the obli- 1
gatlon of the country to Mr. Carnegie
for what he has done."
Here are a few of Mr. Carnegie's
epigrams: "The reason the world made
slow progress for thousands of years
was that there were no printing press
es and each generation had to start
anew. Now wo have the record of all
that man has done before, and every
generation builds on a solid basis of
what the previous ones have done."
"No one can say short of perfection
what the human race shall attain to."
"All 1 well because all grows bet
ter." "Read read the books and then bow
your heads, hut resolve to accept
whatever reason shows you to be
true."
"When I made up my mind to make
a fortune I made up my mind to make
It easy for other men to obtain an edu
cation through books."
"I bwe everything' I have got to my
access to books."
"Rooks are the most perfect Instru
ments of philanthropy that exist.
They don't do anything for nothing.
If you want to get anything here
you've got to work for It."
"1 don't think you can do much for
the 'submerged tenth.' The state
should take charge of them and Iso
late them. I wish to help them who
help themselves."
"The best society in the world Is the
library."
"The negro race has made more
progress in the last forty years than
any race that ever existed."
"The day Is not far distant when the
negro race will take Its place In this
country with nny other race. Then the
race problem will bo no more forever."
REGULATE PRICE OF MILK.
Attorney General Recommends Dras
tic Legislation.
Albany. N. V.. April 2(i. Drastic leg
islation is recommended to regulate
the price of milk lu the report submit
ted to the legislature by Attorney Gen
eral Edward R. O'Malley as a result ,
of liW Investigation of the so called
milk trust operating In New York city.
The report calls attention to the
general subject of the antlmouopoly
law. To a great extent these statutes
have not brought the relief hoped for
because they are evaded by so callpd
"gentlemen's agreements" or under
standings which it Is practically Im
possible to reach.
The attorney general recommends
the continuance of the antlmouopoly
laws, but says the state must now go
further. "It must regulate the price
or at least the profits which middlemen
and dealers may charge for articles of
common necessity. Milk or any other
urtlcle of common necessity can be
handled at less expense In large quan
tities. The evil, therefore, Is not so
much the organization as the abuses
which this organization produces."
The attorney general llnds that from
the testimony thero exists in New
York city a condition which lu effect Is
a combination which fixes the price at
which the producer Is obliged to sell
milk hi the metropolitan market and
that Jtlie producer has no voice lu de
termining what that price Is.

DOLLIVER SAILS IN.
Senator, With La Follette, Block Rail
way Bill.
Washington. April 20. The senato
leaders were on the point of reaching
an agreement to vote on the railway
bill on Saturday, May 7, when Senator
I.a Kollette of Wisconsin objected to
the request for unanimous consent, and
the plan for putting a limit on railway
talk in the senate failed. As the result
the leaders may decide to impose night
sessions to hasten the end.
"I have no particular pride In the
manner In which the people of the
United Slates have managed their
transportation affairs," said Senator
Dolliver in opening the debate. "In

THE
KING INTERPRETING
SABBATH.
THE
International Bible Lesson for May 1,
10 (Matt. 12:1.14).
There are two extremes of Sabbath
observance. One extreme Is .lowlsh,
traditional, ritualistic, Iron-bound. It
makes of the day a prison and puts
every human being under guard. Its
only lnngunne Is reproof, Its only Im
plements handcuffs. It continually
I saya, "Don't do this, stop doing that,
j drop this, let go of thnt, come away
from this, don't look at that." Its law
j Is an everlasting "and all-inclusive
I "Thou shnlt not." Starting out with
the prohibitions of the Lovltlcal luw,
there has been piled upon the back of
tho Christian Sabbath, nil the tradi
tions and commandments and laws of
men, until the overburdened day stag
gers under the load without beauty
and without rest.
Ridiculous Interpretations.
The law of God in reference to Sab
bath keeping hns been made the sub
ject of tho most ridiculous Interpreta
tions. It has been seriously argued
that to walk upon the grnss with nail
ed shoes was a violation of the Sab
bath because it was a sort of thresh
ing, and to catch a Ilea upon tho per
son was a violation because it was a
kind of hunting, and to eat a fresh egg
on tho first day of the week, was a
very doubtful thing, because It may
have been laid by the hen on the Sab
bath. It was not so long ago in the
State of Massachusetts a man was
lined and imprisoned for kissing his
wife on the Lord's Day in a public
manner, he having Just returned from
a l.mg sea voyage and saluting her as
she g.eeted him on the wharf.
("b-ist and His disciples walked

being hungry they plucked the wheat

said, forbade Working on the Sabbath,
i and these teachers of lellglou had reap

Fourth Commandment. Reaped when
' they plucked the oars, threshed and
sifted when they rubbed It In their
hands, sifted and winnowed when they
,,,, ..,,,.. thu ,,. nnH crnnnrt It
from blue laws they defy all laws,
They tear down the fence because
they do not fancy the style of Its con
struction around tills garden of the
week, and turn n herd of swinish In
lluences Into it to root up its beauties
and turn the place Into a wallow. Sun-
day Is tho parlor of the week and
these people seem uissatisneu
to
have a decent room in the lions', they
want to turn the best room tnto a
scullery.
Sunday as our forefathers knew It,
is not going, It is gone. It is a good
thing that some things they Imposed
, upon It have gone, but It Is a bad
thlug that in unloading tho day of its
' traditional burdens we have lost so
much of Its real value. Every man
i who values his own Interests and tho
future welfare of his country should
set his face again3t the increasing
secularization of the day. If the Sab
bath, with all its hallowed influences
is permanently destroyed In tills coun
try It will be assassinated while the
Indolent and heedless sleep.
The Happy Medium.
Now between these two extremes
thero is a happy medium which It
should be our ambition to find and
occupy. Sunday observance Is ueltb
, er toeing a chalk mark, nor lazily
: loafing its hours away. The great
Master laid down the principle which
' should covern all when He said: "Tho
1 Sabbath was made for man, and bot
0n.,i,ii" m. wnnih
man for the Sabbath." The Fourth
Commandment Is written not alone

, it is humanity's law dating from tho
Garden of Eden. Christ did not abro
gate it. he rescued H from false Inter
pretations.
The laborer rolling down hlB sleovea
of toll should hall It as the poor man's
friend. The children opening their
eyes upon It should bound from their
beds with glee The employer as no
turns the key upon his office should,
take a deep breath of satisfaction nt
the nrosnect of 24 hours release from
care. Instead of making It a day of
dissipation, of sightseeing and merry
making, coming back to work on Mon
day fagged-out. cross, all out of goar,
physically on Recount of Sunday dese
cration, man and beast should be able
to take up 'the duties of life refreshed
and rejuvenated because of the Bab
bath rest. Use the day sensibly. What-
evii uplifts, comforts, and develops
man Is appropriate on that day
Hie birds sing, the waters leap, the
trees of tho field clap their hands. This
Is God's world, and It was made for
man, body and soul. Frown down
everything that would work against
1 that; encourage everything that would
favor It. A community or nation, If
j kept in safety will be lcopt by those
- who keep Sunday; but no community
and no nation will Ions be kept in
j safety in which Sunday is not kept.

he sat down before his desk, and It
a grain of dust was visible on the
