THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAX TPEU 74 Vice-President of the Miami Coal Company and Democratic Candidate for Member of the Board of Review of Cook County. [Picture of a man with light-colored hair, wearing a dark suit and a white shirt with a tie. He is seated in a chair with a backrest, and his left hand is resting on the arm of the chair.] Warm Friend of the Afro-American Race and Republican Candidate for Re-election to Congress from the 1st Congressional District. Frederick W. Blocki, Vice-President of the Miami Coal Company, and Democratic candidate for member of the Board of Review of Cook County, is a Chicagoan, through and through to the back bone, being born in this city, November 2, 1868, receiving his early and advanced education in its schools. In time he took a special course in engineering at the Lewis Institute, which stood him in good hand and became one of his very valuable assets, later on in life. Shortly after arriving to manhood, he became united in marriage to Miss Louise Woltersdorf, daughter of Louis Woltersdorf, one of the German-American pioneers, retail druggists of this city. So far two children have blest their happy union, Frederick and Ruth and grace their comfortable home 717 Ashland Blvd., where they have resided for a number of years. His father before him, being a noted chemist, John Blocki, the subject of this sketch followed in his footsteps and became thoroughly familiar in all the details as a manufacturer of fine perfumes, and the firm of John Blocki and Son is known not only to all the wholesale and retail druggists throughout the country, but also favorably known to millions of people, who have for many years, used their exquisite perfumes and other toilet articles and for a long time Mr. Blocki, has been the guiding spirit or hand in actively managing the affairs of John Blocki and Son. He is also at the head of the Brennan Construction Company, general contractors, No. 8 N. La Salle street, and as mentioned before, he is vice-president of the Miami Coal Company with offices on the 18th floor of the McCormick Building, showing that he is engaged in various lines of profitable business and that he is not dependent upon politics for a living. Aside from his business interests, Mr. Blocki, has always taken a lively interest in politics, however, in April, 1899, he was appointed by Mayor Carter H. Harrison, superintendent of the map department, of the city of Chicago, creditably serving the city in that capacity until the latter part of the same year. He was then advanced and promoted to deputy commissioner of public works and a little less than two years from that time, still greater honors were in store for him and he was selected by Mayor Harrison as commissioner of public works, being re-appointed in 1903 to the same responsible position, for two years longer. During his administration of this office he supervised some of Chicago's great public improvements, such as building some of the first bascule bridges, which did away with center piers, among them being the North Western Avenue and Clybourn Place Bridges. These bridges were designed in the Department of Public Works, thus saving to the City the heavy royalty of about $20,000 usually paid for plans and supervision. The great intercepting sewer along Lake Michigan from 39th street to 71st street, was also built under his supervision, and was successfully completed. This was the first great improvement undertaken by the City by direct or day labor, and at its completion had not only saved the City thousands of dollars under the lowest bidder, but there were no law suits or claims for extras. In April, 1905, before the expiration of his second term, as commis- The people throughout the civilized world, are by this time familiar with all of the details, leading up to the attempt to assassinate Col. Theodore Roosevelt, by John Schrank, of New York City, at Milwaukee, Wis., Monday evening, just as the Col. was entering his auto to be whirled away to the Auditorium in that city, to deliver a speech. The minute details of the horrible affair, which was a rank crime against law and order, have been fully set forth, how the bullet from the revolver of Schrank, penetrated the breast of Col. Roosevelt, how his stenographer, Elbert Martin, leaped upon the assassin, overpowering him and preventing him from firing a second and more dangerous shot into the body of Col. Roosevelt. How the Col. proceeded to the hall and delivered his speech, and then was conveyed to the hospital in that city for a thorough examination as to the extent of the wound inflicted upon him. How he was rushed to this city on a special train, then on to Mercy Hospital where he is still confined, under the care of the best medical experts in Chicago. How Mrs. Roosevelt, and the other members of his family, came on from their home at Oyster Bay, N. Y. in order to be at his bedside. How the demented Schrank, had followed him from place to place, seeking an opportunity to end his life for no cause whatever. How the crowned heads of Europe and distinguished men and women, in all parts of this country and the world, have showed telegrams upon Col. Roosevelt, hoping and praying for his speedy recovery, have already been elaborated upon. As Col. Roosevelt, is one of the great characters of the world, and has undoubtedly accomplished a vast amount of good in it. No one, more ardently wishes for his speedy recovery and that his life may be prolonged for the benefit of humanity, than the writer: Ex-Alderman John J. Bradley, chief clerk of the personal property taxes, in the county treasurer's office; is still a power in politics in the Town of Lake. He is putting forth his best hicks, to assist William L. O'Connell, to put Ex-Judge Edward P. Dunn, over for Governor of Illinois. sioner of public works, he was elected city treasurer of Chicago, by a large majority, running on the same ticket, with former Mayor Edward F. Dunne, and the honest and splendid record he made in that office as city treasurer, will stand to his everlasting credit, as long as Chicago stands. When he became City Treasurer, the city was receiving only $1½ per cent interest, but before the expiration of his term he had advanced the rate to 3 per cent, which was a greater rate of interest than the City has ever received. During the period that he was City Treasurer, the Police, Fire and other Departments were always paid promptly, and on one occasion it was necessary for him to personally borrow about $800,000.00 from the banks to pay the Police and Firemen before Christmas, as there was no money in the City Treasury available for that purpose. At the end of his term, he turned over to the City of Chicago $234,110.39 net, as interest after all office expenses and his own compensation had been deducted, thus earning for the citizens of Chicago over $100,000.00 more than had ever been earned during the term of a former City Treasurer. Mr. Blocki has also served as treasurer of the Cook County Democratic Committee and knowing thousands and thousands of people in all parts of this city and county and being ever ready to extend the glad hand to all comers, and being perfectly familiar with all the hardships and the conditions which have for years confronted the small tax payer, this class of property holders will have a good friend at court when he is elected a member of the Board of Review, Tuesday, November 5. -Adv't. CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM SULZER FOR GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK When "Boss" Murphy was forced to give up the unit rule at Syracuse, all possibility of Governor Dix's renomination was at an end. A revival of Mr. Murphy's power, however, may be inferred from the nomination of William Sulzer, inasmuch as Sulzer has for years been a Tammany man. But this would be estimating Sulzer without reference to his political history. That he came into politics years ago through Tammany is true; that he has always affiliated with the Tammany organization is also true; and so is it true that his many successive elections to Congress have been upon Tammany nominations. But Mr. Sulzer ceased long ago to obey the commands of Tammany bosses, either express or implied. On more than one occasion he has been able to defy the bosses, and has in fact done so. His continuance in Congress has not depended upon them. Tammany has needed him more than he has needed Tammany. He has got his nominations and elections not by favor from Tammany bosses, but from his own popularity with the people—men, women and children—in his own Congressional district. Although in the course of his political career Mr. Sulzer had stood for some measures that should be opposed on democratic grounds, he has not on the whole stultified the fundamental democracy he professes and which we believe he feels. On the contrary, he has frequently, and not by any accident, stood for democracy when the breakers ahead of him for doing so were audible and visible. One of those occasions was in Bryan's first campaign. It cost something at that time to be for Bryan in public life in New York. But Sulzer did not count the cost. Such tests have been borne by him on several occasions. That he has been nominated for Governor of the State he has represented these many years in Congress, represented it at times when to do so he had to defy the Tammany bosses, goes to show that Tammany bossism may have gone to the wall for good at the Syracuse convention, as Thomas M. Osborne predicted that it would. It is inconceivable to those who understand his political career, that Mr. Sulzer would be a boss's tool as Governor. To all such his election would come as a guarantee of an unusual extension of Democratic Democracy at the Albany capital—The Public, Chicago, Oct 12-12. M. J. Olerk of the Circuit Court and Republican Candidate for Re-election to the same Position Tuesday, November 5th. Commended by all the judges and Bureau of Efficiency. Member of the Board of Assessors, a Friend of the Small Tax-payers and Republican Candidate for Re-election to the Position He Occupies at the Present Time. Joseph E. Bidwill, Jr., the present efficient clerk of the Circuit Court, and Republican candidate for re-election to the same position, Tuesday, November 5th, was born in this city July I, 1883. His parents Mr. and Mrs. Joseph E. Bidwill, were also born in Chicago, and have witnessed its marvelous growth, from a fair sized country town, to one of the best and one of the largest and most enterprising cities in the world. The present clerk of the Circuit Court; received his early education in the public schools of this great city; finishing it or rounding it out, at St. Ignatius College, Loyola College of Law and the Lewis Institute. After graduating with the usual honors, from these various educational institutions, he started out, well fortified along these lines, to make a mark for himself, in this busy and bustling world. For some years thereafter, he was employed as a clerk, in the Chicago National Bank. Later on he served in the same capacity, with the Harris Brothers Trust Company. Like his father, he always took to politics, as easily and as readily, as a duck takes to water and in 1906, he became the nominee of the Republican party for Clerk of the Circuit Court and was elected with a handsome majority and from that time to the present; he has been one of the few high class, public officials in this county and he has at all times, discharged the duties of his office, with considerable executive ability. The following, judges of the Circuit Court; Frederick A. Smith, Jesse A. Baldwin, John Gibbons, Merritt W. Pinckney, Adelor J. Petit, R. S. Tuthill, Kickham Scanlan, Thomas G. (Continued on page 2.)

McGoory; all join in highly commending Mr. Bidwill, for the efficient manner, in which he has conducted the affairs of his office and for voluntarily turning over to the county all the interests received by him on trust funds deposited by him.

Less than two years ago, Mr. Bidwill became united in marriage to Miss Mae Connery, one of the highly accomplished and beautiful daughters, of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Connery, 5228 Sheridan Road, and Mr. and Mrs. Bidwill, are so far the proud and happy parents of one bright little daughter and they reside in an attractive home, at 5129 Sheridan Road.

Woodrow Wilson Still Leads in the Three Cornered Contest for President of the United States IT IS CLAIMED THAT THE GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY WILL HAVE MORE THAN FOUR HUNDRED VOTES IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE AND CARRY 31 STATES IN THE UNION. COL. THEODORE BOOSEVELT IS SECOND IN THE LEAD, AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS MAY PUT HIM AT THE HEAD OR THE LUCKY WINNER OF THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIZE. PRESIDENT WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT EACH DAY CONTINUES TO WIN NEW AND STRONG SUPPORTERS AND MANY POLITICIANS ARE OF THE OPINION THAT THE TIDE IS SETTING IN IN HIS FAVOR AND THAT HE STILL HAS TIME TO MAKE A HOME RUN BEFORE THE CLOSE OF THE FINAL CONTEST. EX-MAYOR EDWARD F. DUNNE AND GOVERNOR CHARLES S. DENEEN ARE UNBOTTLEING THEIR ORATORY IN CHICAGO AND COOK COUNTY. EVERY INCH OF GROUND IN IT WILL BE FOUGHT AND RE-FOUGHT OVER BY THEM IN A DETERMINED EFFORT TO CAPTURE THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTERS BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER 5TH. As the American people approach the great presidential contest which is a little more than two weeks away, the idea seems to be firmly implanted in the minds of the vast majority of the people that Woodrow Wilson, will be elected President of the United States, with both hands down. Everything seems to strongly indicates it as much as many people may deplore it, that he is still far in the lead in the three cornered fight for the presidency; that he will have more than four hundred votes in the electoral college and that the present Governor of New Jersey will carry 31 states in the union. One thing is certain and that is, that the hand of fate seems to favor the faithful followers of Thomas Jefferson, this year and with the Republicans all torn to pieces and fighting and snatching at each others throats like so many animals, therefore if the Democrats can't turn the trick under such existing conditions among the Republicans, they cannot reasonably expect to elect a president for the next hundred years to come. So it becomes as plain as your nose on your face that the leaves and the fishes and the many juicy political positions throughout the nation are worth fighting for to the death. Col. Theodore Roosevelt is second in the lead and he is gaining votes each day at a rapid rate and recent developments may put him at the head and the lucky winner of the Presidential prize; laying all jokes aside and getting right down to cold facts, it is something very remarkable the wonderful hold he has upon the American people and it makes not the slightest difference whether he is unsound or not on the great questions and propositions which will effect their future welfare either for good or for evil for generations to come they worship him just the same. Sometimes we inline to the opinion that he should or ought to be elected so that we could see to our heart's content just what a third term President would do with or too this country anyway and for one we are able and willing to stand for him or to stand him if the majority of the American people decide on November 5, that they want him for their Lord and Master. New York, October 14th: In connection with the campaign for the observance of Tuberculosis Day on October 27th, Cardinal Farley, has written a letter to Frank H. Mann Secretary of the New York Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis, which is made public to-day, in which he commends the good work being done in the educational campaign against Consumption in New York City and throughout the country and urges churchmen and others to take part in the anti-tuberculosis movement. . It is true that President William Howard Taft, continues to gain many new votes each day; some of his supporters are men who had deserted the G. O. P. shortly after the Chicago convention and for a while had marched under the banner of Col. Roosevelt and his Bull Moose party, but as stated before they are flocking to President Taft, in large numbers right along and as the Republican tide is running in his direction he still has plenty of time to make a home run before the close of the final contest. It is still perfectly evident that the people are not manifesting much interested in the national election and this self-evident fact continues to drive the wisest of the politicians on the rough political issues, causing them to be unable to tell whether they are a foot or are riding the successful and the winning horse. Ex-mayor Edward F. Dunne and Governor Charles S. Deneen are at the present time unbottling their oratory in Chicago and Cook county and they will continue to do so each day and night until the royal battle is either lost or won to either one of them. Every inch of ground in this city and county will be fought and refought over by them in a determined effort to win or capture the majority of the voters between now and November 5th. Hon. Lawrence Y. Sherman, Republican candidate for United States senator, C. J. Doyle, Republican candidate for secretary of state; state senator Charles F. Hurburgh, former United senator William E. Mason, John E. W. Wayman and many other prominent orators will assist Governor Deneen in his hand to hand fight with Judge Dunne, in this city and county. At the same time many of the best and the most prominent Democratic orators including Col. James Hamilton Lewis, Democratic candidate for United States senator will aid Judge Dunne in his hot political fight and, it will not be many days until we will be able to tell who is who. In the meantime the people in this state can rest assured that either Edward F. Dunne or Charles S. Deneen are amply capable of conducting all of the public affairs of the great state of Illinois and that either one of them would suit us for its governor. "I was very much impressed last year by the statement you presented in regard to the ravages of tuberculosis and by the splendid results which your Society attained in checking this fell destroyer of human lives. "I have become more deeply interested in the subject since that time and have followed with attention your various endeavors, by lecture and exhibition, to lessen the influence which this dread disease has had upon the poor and the weakly of our country. It is a great consolation to learn that you have been able to decrease the number of victims by propor preventive methods; to win back many whom its fatal touch seemed destined to destroy in the prime of life, by restorative means; to ameliorate the suffering of many by your Semiotics, and thus stretch out the years of human life. "Your work must commend itself to every human soul as it aims to flee from an evil that has blighted many a family had to destroy a source of contagion that knows no barrier. "It did not take more than twenty years in the past to make small-pox, which had countless victims in its day, almost an unknown terror. This was accomplished through local sanitary efforts and we may expect, if your organization can prevail upon all to use personal sanitary efforts, to see the White Plague banished from our midst in the not distant future. "The campaign of education and regulation must continue until all shall know their duty and have the determination to push forward all preventive effort against its-breeding places, so that neither occupation, residence or personal habit shall give occasion to its development. "Meantime I am. "Very faithfully yours, (Signed) John Card, Farley." "P. S.—I spoke to the assembled clergy on the subject some time ago and shall direct that the matter be further promoted through our parochial schools." HEALTH NOTES If your appetite is poor your health is also poor. The man who habitually eats in a hurry, will be likely to die in the same way. Bodily health and vigor come not so much from what we eat, as from the food that is well digested and thoroughly assimilated. Keep after the flies these cool Autumn days, and keep them out of your homes. Flies carry more germs at this time of the year than they do during the Summer months. If your appetite is good and you enjoy your meals, you can easily maintain these conditions by eating plain, wholesome food at regular intervals, and by eating slowly and chewing your food well. Then add to this, daily exercise in the open air and sun—if you are an indoor worker—and plenty of good, fresh air in your bedrooms at night; and the chances are your good appetite will stay with you all the time. With the coming on of indoor weather, there will come the usual increase of the communicable diseases, such as Diphtheria, Scarlet Fever, Measles and Whooping Cough among the children. Parents should keep a careful watch on the general health of their children. Symptoms of illness should be promptly noted and children complaining of sore throat or feeling feverish should be kept at home. Call your family doctor early. Don't make the mistake of thinking that it amounts to nothing. Too often the child that, it was felt, would be "better in the morning" is found to be seriously and dangerously ill. Remember that by keeping the ailing child at home and calling the doctor early, you will save not only your own children, but your neighbor's as well. Contagion, is spread by sick children mingling with the well, and in most cases, it is the ailing not the real sick child that spreads the contagion. WALTERS A. M. H. ZION ORCHUR. Cor 88th and Dearborn Sts. Rev. H. J. Callis, D. D., Pastor. The expression heard from all those who attended services at our church last Sunday is, that it was the most successful Quarterly Meeting ever held in this church. The Love Feast at 10 A. M. was fairly well attended; it was really a Love Feast indeed; A large audience was present to hear the sermon at 11:00 A. M. by the pastor, who seemed to be at his best, many remarked that they had never heard him to better advantage. The Sacramental sermon preached by Rev. Robinson of St. Marks M. E. Church was a splendid effort and greatly enjoyed by all present. The conunion service was really a refreshing from the presence of the Master. Rev. R. P. Christian, Presiding Elder preached a splendid sermon in the evening to a packed house, and the spiritual tide ran high. Five persons united with the church, also Mrs. Alice Blair was received into membership for St. Masks M. E. Church. This was not only a great spiritual day for Zion, but the financial results surpassed any of the previous Quarterly Meetings. The Millionaire Wedding given on Tuesday night was possibly the most brilliant and successful church entertainment that has been given for a long time. Mrs. H. J. Callis the manager desires to express her gratitude to the many friends who so willingly assisted her in making this affair such perfect success. A large number of the rally clubs made their second report on last Monday night. It is earnestly hoped that the third report which will be on Monday the 28th will make a better showing than either of the previous reports. Services for next Sunday will be as usual. The master will presach in the morning on "The Man the World needs 1860 HON. EDWARD F. DUNNE. The Man of the Hour Much Beloved by Thousands of People in this City and throughout this State—the Democratic Candidate for Governor of Illinois. today".

Harrison Emanual, Violin; W. E. Gosset, Pipe Organ; B. Emanual Johnson, Piano; and J. E. Michem, Reader. This bids fair to be the finest musical entertainment of the season. —"C." THE LATE RALLY OF BEREAN BAPTIST CHURCH. Was exceedingly gratifying to both members and Pastor. It showed the hearty co-operation of the members and the untiring efforts of the Pastor. The Church feels especially indebted to Mr. Jesse Binga who so generously contributed to our Rally.

Battle Chavis, WILLIAM OSTROM William Ostrom, Republican candidate for re-election to the Legislature of Illinois, from the 3rd senatorial district, comprising all of the old third, part of the old 4th and part of the old 6th wards, was born in the old 4th ward in 1865, and from his boyhood days to the present time he has all ways resided in the very shadow of his birth place, he received his education in the public schools of this, his native city. Not being born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he learned and successfully worked at his trade that of a smelter and refiner. Having a liking for the game of politics he entered it with all of his might shortly after he was able to vote and as it did not take him long to muster up a strong following in his ward and in time he was rewarded for his faithful services to his party with an appointment to a position in the sheriff's office. Later on he was selected as one of the deputy coroners of Cook county by Coroner Peter M. Hoffman, and he is still holding down that position with much credit to himself.

'W. E. Gillespie Tells Interesting Story of His Recent Trip to the Island. Province of Pinar del Rio Pictured 2 Garden of Eden For the Theifty Agriculturiste, Minneapolis, Minn.—W. E. Gillespie, One of the most successful farmers in this section, gives the following ac- count of his recent trip to Cuba: After corresponding for about three months with Mr. R. M. B. Nelson at his home in Lista, Havana, 1 decided to visit hts “land of June breezes” and 80 wrote him. Before his reply reached me Eva- nisto Estinoz began his fatal revolu- tion. Being assured by Mr. Nelson that the trouble was confined to the eastern end of the isiand, 500 miles from Havana, I sailed from New York Jone 7 and was met by bim at the custom house in Havana June 10. 1 bade him aid other friends au re- voir at the same place July 7 after twenty-eight days of strenuous going im cars, busses, wagons, horseba:k and afoot seeing the things “Cuba's best guide” has to show to the Afro-Amerl- cans who want to know about the plan to colonize 10.000 or more colored farm- ers in Cuba. The best farming lands of the section that I saw were in the province of Pi- ‘nar del Rio, which is said to contain the richest tobacco soll in the world. ‘Mr. Nelson is offering land in this prov- ince at $10 per acre to colonists. As the language is Spanish, it is es sential that the people settle in colo- nies, so that one interpretet can act for @ large number of them until they ac- quire the language. I spent about three days at the farm of George Davis at San Cristobal. Mr. Davis is from Bessemer, Ala. He has bought eighty acres of land, put down a Sine well and is making great im- provements. He is very enthusiastic concerning oopportunities in Cuba for colored people from the southern states. ‘There are great opportunities tn rais- ing hogs. watermelons. chickens, vege- tables and fruit—in fact. all farm prod- | ucts. Pork was selling in Havana at 80 cents per pound. chickens at $0 cents to $1 apiece. Fresh eggs command al- most any price; 3 to 5 cents apiece is common. | Medium sized watermelons Were $1.25 each in the Havana market, while oranges were selling at three for 20 cents. Vegetables and fruits can be raised at all seasons of the year, and, while they can be shipped to New York and other United States markets, I think there would be more money in catering to the local markets, thus saving freight, duty, ete. Cuba buys from abroad $10,000,000 worth of the things just cited. One thing I noticed was that a black man was just as good as a white man. There were colored motormen and con- ductors on the street cars and colored men in every other line of trade. It looked indeed like a land of opportuni- tes for the black man. ‘The nights were always cool. The thermometer while I was there aver- aged 85 degrees, and there was always a cool breeze. I can see no reason why Mr. Nelson should not induce 50,000 colored farmers from the south to more to Cubs. I understand that the trip from Key West, Fis., takes only five Sutrage League's Annual Meeting. ‘The New England Suffrage league ‘held its ninth annual meeting in New ‘Bedford, Mass, on Monday, Oct. 1. The sessions of the convention were ‘well attended, and much important business was transacted.

By N. BARNETT DODSON. ‘The woman's convention, auriliery to the national Baptist convention, re- cently closed tts twelfth annual ses sion, which was beld in the Antioch Baptist church, Houston, Tex. Nearly ‘every state organisation in the country ‘wes represented either by delegates or ty the payment of annual dues. ‘The convention is the largest organt- zation of Christian women in the world. Its growth has been phenomenal, and the Houston meeting gave evidence of the fact that marked improvement is Deing made by the great mess of wom- en who are giving themselves to the religious and educational uplift of the race. Earnestness of purpose, wide vision and consecration of life charac- terize those who have the constructive ‘work of the convention in hand. ‘The program shows that the women are actually and actively engaged in social service work at home, missisn- ary effort in foreign fields and in train- ing the women and girls for Christian service. Their addresses were thér- oughly prepared and delivered without manuscript. Earnestness of purpose and étrectness of thought characterized the action of every speaker. That the women have done remarkable work @uring the year was clearly shown in gee Pe ae —e ee au Ce ae ee ag ee Bee oe Be ae a ‘ 7 p ‘Miss NANNIZ H. DUCRROTGRS ‘the very carefelly prepared and en- couraging report of Mix« Nannie HL Burroughs, the corresponding secretary. ‘The most gratifying thing to be not- ed in connection with the work of the woman's auxiliary is that it bex grown so rapidly. Twelve years ago at the first annual meeting the confention raised $15. This year it reported $26,- 968.00. ‘The money is used in helping to support missionaries in foreign fields, ‘to educate foreign students in Ameri- can institutions and to operate the Na- tional! Training School For Women and Girls at Washington, which institution is owned by the convention. ‘The women bought this property and opened the setiool three years’ ago. From a« validation of $6,000 the prop- erty has increased, through buildings and other Improvements made on the grounds, until the plant is now worth $28,000.

Progress In Scientific Knowledge Net Confined to Particular Race. ‘Those few scientific men in Great Britain, Germany, France, the United ‘States and Brazil who have striven to understand the anthropology of the Negro and to compare it with that of the white man are rather inclined than otherwise to argue now that the Negro has contributed in the past and, still more, may contribute in the future a very important quota to the whole sum of bumanity. ‘Tits element of soundness and stabil- ity in physical. development and cer- tain mental qualities the perfected man of, say, twenty-two or twenty- three centuries after Christ cannot af- ford to do without. Such advisers ‘would attempt to hold us back from furicus raging against racial intermix- ture and, above all, from any policy of ‘oppression or extirpation to which from time to time the white man is prone ‘when he thinks that the Negro is ad- vancing too rapidly. It is noteworthy that with the doubt- ful exception of the Mongolian (as rep- resented by the very mixed population of Japan, an empire which contains much “white” blood of anelent stock over” an Asiatic Negroid strain) the Negro is the only non-Caucasian race ‘which has so far furnished rivals tc the white man in science, the arts, lit- erature and mathematics. So far, excepting a few Dravidians, ‘Amerindians and Japanese, all of these half brothers of the white man, the ‘other peoples of Asia. Africa, Oceania and aboriginal América have kept themselves to themselves and have never ventured to compete with the ‘white man in bis own sphere. But a Nezro has now been to the north pole, and there are famous Negro painters. musicians. novelists, bota- nists, legistx. philologists, philosophers, miathematicians, engineers and general officers whose work is done in the White world and in emulation with the firgt talent of Europe and America. On the French Riviera Negro chauffeurs are much in evidence because of thelr skillful and careful driving.
