Bellington, D. C., Jan. 21. "The suit took under admission the threat that the sentence of death for a race man used murder of Henry Brantly, a white man, from the section of the federal court for the release of George J. Kippersus to release Kitchens in habea corpus proceedings." John Randolph Cooper, attorney for the convicted man, said the court fear of mob violence at his trial that he was afraid to raise the rule that Kitchens was not getting a fair trial, through failure to have any race men on the Feared Mob Violence. "It is almost impossible for any Afro-America who kills a white man to get a fair trial, my native state," exclaimed Attorney Altona. "Why he had not raised this point in application for a new trial, in dramatic tones, cool and deliberate, he started the trial. He was fearful of FEARED MOR VIOLENCE. In Georgia these people are prevented from registering, and I contend that whenever any action of the state legislature or through its courts, or through its executive or administrative officers, all persons of African race exonerated from serving as petty or grand jurors in the criminal prosecution of one of the African race, the equal protections of all citizens.

Norman Cooper said that two men he previously had tried in Kitchens, had been hanged and a serving a life sentence in the state jail. I firmly believe that they will attempt to lynch him down there," continued Mr. Cooper. I have defended him in Georgia. Alabama and where a white man and a member of that race are on opposite sides of a case in these states it is impossible to race the race. I said, "Cold war," said Cooper. The fourteenth amendment was supposed to have been pased for the upfit of the Negro race, but it is used for the benefit of the Negro race. The Negro does not benefit by it." Cites Frank Case. they lynched Frank because the governor commuted his sentence. I know I am defending an unpopular case. If I were to be accused of being a politician I was always defeated. But I learned from the late Chief Justice Fulton to empathize with the victim of his involvement. Associate Justice Holmes' stention was uilt by Mr. Cooper's citation of the word "defender." There the court decreed to take cession because the cession had been attached by a boy in Gattmanna. Georgia coluris and brought up some weak cases where a Jew has been turned against a boy. Georgia prejudice was as strong against a girl against a boy. He also brought the case when a race man was found not guilty of defrauding a woman. Dence was only circumstantial. The court reserved judgment on the question of issuing a writ of habea corpus which when held the case before them on its merits.

CHICAGO, JANUARY 22, 1916 BRAZIL'S BLACK PRESIDENT First Time Published in a North American Newspaper President J. E. Nilo Pecanha of Brazil from 1908 to 1912, made history during his four years' term of office, although his father was a white man, mother a white woman, this did not hamper his rise in life—not even because he had African blood. Education and efficiency are the things that count in this country and not the color of the skin, like in North America. BRAZIL IDEAL COUNTRY FOR BLACK MAN Equality Everywhere and Foremost Citizens of Republic Are Members of Black Race. Perhaps no country in the world whose population is thirty million, nearly fifty per cent of which is of the Black race, two of which are of the White race, the two races harmoniously living together and developing without friction. Here no such thing as prejudice exist. The ethics and beliefs are equal in every country, and even when ever enters the mind of anyone, no matter what the occasion. Indeed, if there exist anywhere on earth an ideal spot for a black man it can without doubt safely be told to be the Republic of Brazil. WABASH EMPLOYES SEEK INCREASE IN PAY.

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow or crying, neither shall there be more pain or the former things shall pass away." The black man shall some day rule the world. So will King Rev. J. E. Crowther, and be king of Africa. He has been foreign missionary board of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He has been in Africa for years and has studied the conspiracy of the former things he forged. England is drilling with her African colonies and is looking forward time when their tribes will rise up in Africa and suffer. They will soon begin to assert their rights and demand their franchise. The political issue in Africa has long been the issue of the people. British in all matters concerning that country. The tribal chiefs are sending male some of English colleges and to Chiefs Educate Sons. "These young men return to their tribes and hunger for education. People they have surely but surely been educated. Eventually the white man will be ruled by the black man who must not be kept before the black races will be killed. Many who seek that Ebola will stretch forth its hands.

The black man is not black, considered as white, is recognised as one of the world’s powers. Turkey is not that they are, too, has demonstrated that they are not as easy to whip as the Allies there.

He knocked out the ring keyed up, and after feeling each other out started things again. "Bulldog" landed on Pollar's jaw like a bolt of fire, and with a clout that sent the little follow reeling with a thud to the floor. That was enough. The main affair that drew fists was between Edilie Palmer and "Killer" Palmer, who bushes in the sixth. McCoy started out game enough and fought like a demon for the rest of the game. Palmer had warmed up and side stepped some of McCoy's terrific swain. Several times the New Orleans fighter slipped in missing. Palmer fought more cleverly than McCoy. The trifle quicker.

SPANISH LANGUAGE KEY TO PROGRESS Greater America Depends upon Knowledge of Latin Tongue—Used by a Hundred Million Americans Who Live South of Us—Commercial Opportunities Vast. BRAZIL HAS NEGRO PRESIDENT Every Race Given the Same Liberty— Prejudice Unknown—Products of South America Needed for Factories Here— Members of the Race Required to Learn Spanish and Portuguese A man is no greater than his mental horizon, nor can we reach out for greater opportunities unless we are equipped to do so. We must grasp the young man and woman of today can have no just cause of com- munication, because the world offers them greater opportunities than any other period of its history. The commercial interests of the whole of North America are centered upon the vast, uncom- mercial land of America. There they speak another tongue. South of the Rio Grande the entire population uses the Spanish language, and North of America we public the Spanish tongue is spoken; also in southern Europe it is equally important to the people of the hundred million people in the territory where Spanish is used. The opportunity for commercial America of us de- pends upon men and women of our race who speak the language, and much as it will upon any other class. South America, and particularly the Caribbean, offers chances. There is no social or physical hindrance in that country to your ad- venture. It is a country where the young man has reached the highest posts of honor. Brazil Has Negro President. Has Negro President. Without him, Haiti has no Brazil is truly "the land of the free and the brave." In civil, political and industrial life we are given the same language. We speak in the same where we are men and women of the highest type and standing. If the Spanish language would answer no other purpose, we would be beckoning the highest type of thinking people in Every race man and woman in America should learn the Spanish language.

Rubber, mahogany and many other products that are necessary to the growth of the country are from that country. Likewise the finished products from our factories will find a ready market there.

True, the histories give a version that must be accepted for lack of something better. But it must be remembered that most books on the subject were written by white men and women, which is equivocalizing that they would be colored more or less to suit their own prejudices. We are asked, for instance, to criticise "The Birth of a Nation." In a general way we can point out the objectionable parts, but can we intelligently pick out the chaff from the wheat? There are always two sides to every story. We learn the white man's side, because it is forced upon us. In recent years we are beginning to learn our own side because we have been the most important writers as Kelly Miller, Professor Du Bols, Major John R. Lynch, and others who have given the world word pictures from our point of view. "Facts on Reconstruction," the recent classic from the pen of Major Lynch, has found place in the libraries of most of the great universities, which argues well for its authenticity and value as a matter of record. This and other books by race writers should be in the home of every one. We cannot be too well versed on the things that have vitally touched our lives. WITH A CAPITAL "N."

AN EXPLAINER tells us that the word "Negro" is the romance language for black, and is the opposite of white, and when a particular Negro people is referred to, the capital is used, and that the custom has absolutely nothing to do with respect or disrespect for a race; it is rather a linguistic trick. This listens well, but the explainer is evidently not an American. Negro is a man whether it be entitled or not, to the prejudiced American mind it carries an odum. Because papers have insisted on using the word without occasion, we have insisted—with some degree of success—upon the capital "N" being used. The common acceptance of the word means a race of people, if they will have it, so give us the upper case "N". However, if we had our "ruthers", the word would be disregarded entirely, as it relates to American citizens, who as a matter of fact, have no more right to it than any other citizen who is a Negro. The word "man" is the same as "man, etc., after his name. War may come before the black man, etc. his just deserts, but it is coming, and the white brother had be ready. DR. GEORGE CLEVELAND HALL was named as chairman of a committee to lay out plans for the merger of all race charities. The few organizations in the city have been working separately, causing a waste of energy in this division of labor. That something worth white will come to know is that the black man is making things grow on apparently harren soil, and the men and women associated with him have always done things with an "I Will" vim. The iron is hot, so when they strike look out for the sparks. WE ARE UNRELIABLY INFORMED by some of the "yellow" men that 500 men from the Ninth cavalry, stationed in Honolulu, wrecked and looted in the city a few nights ago, and were only quieted when the Second Infantry, with a brave leader named Thomas. This doesn't even sound well from a distance, and the said sheets will have to try another way to stir up feeling against the black troops. WILBUR GLENN VOLINA, overseer of Zion says: "Chicago has gone to the devil. Men go to dances to hug other men's wives; the women wear next to nothing, and if it hadn't been for the doctors and druggists there wouldn't have been 600 deaths by pneumonia this winter." This is all true, for Volva, the Great, has spoken. There is nothing left for Chicagoans to do now but go out in the garden and eat worms. THE ILLINOIS STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE is investigating the feasibility of using horse flesh as a food. Should it be found wholesome the board will recommend the passage of a law allowing its sale in the state. What patrons of cheap restaurants want to know is if they haven't been eating horse flesh, what have they been eating? GOVERNOR DUNNE never tires of granting a stay of execution to keep unscrupulous sheriffs from making a public holiday out of a hanging of a condemned man. The Governor is right. We are not living in the dark ages. Eight hundred million dollars worth of supplies left American shores for Europe during the year just closed, which is three times as much as was sent the year previous. Among other things the combatants have learned is that war is an expensive luxury. A WOMAN applied for a divorce because her husband threw an egg at her. If it was a fresh egg she deserves it, because he was exavagant; if it wasn't ditto, because he was a brute. EACH DAY brings the Progressive and Republican parties closer together; likewise it brings Democratic misrule that much nearer its close, so let old Father Time push things along. SPEAKING OF MEXICO, it is beginning to dawn on the American people that something must be done besides writing polite notes to the leaders of the different mobs in that turbulent country. THE UNITED STATES is to be destroyed by an earthquake sometime during the year 1916. So says a prominent secreer. However, it is the same one that did all the predicting for 1915, so we should worry. HOW MUCH HAVE YOU GIVEN toward the $2,000,000 Washington Memorial fund? MOST PEOPLE have a sneaking idea that the "Wilson (once) that's all," is about right. AND THEY SAY If you haven't a cold you are out of fashion. But who wants to be in fashion, anyway? The art of any country reflects the general character of the country. When someone observes a strong people, the degeneration of a people's art is always one time and even times even physical deterioration. This is not surprising when we consider that real art is the offspring of the supernatural. It is not surprising that whenever any work reaches that final point known as perfection, or as nearly perfect as it can be, it will allow it to, it becomes the best. The best in life is art. It is impossible to accomplish individually or collectively; but the close student of life realizes that it is extremely difficult out of the messen with a new idea, and at once gives humanity something to make life more bearable and more beautiful. He makes the action originates it. But he has found it in the work of some broad visions. The poet and singer with verse and song fight for causes, with as much vigor and emotion as he can. He lights or strives in the political or military field of battle. The soldier goes into the battle with the singer's song, heard ringing in his ears, murping him on. The young man goes forth to mold a career, with a character already molded by experience. In the days of the Greek nu-music, he was a master of lines, intellectual and artistic. This was the glory of Greece, the grandeur of her Athena and courage of her Sparta and a master of the art. He adorned the Greek crown were productive of this most essential thing, art. So it has been all through the ages. So it is today. Rodin the greatest sculptor of the day, says the purging of the human soul, the giving France is all that is saving that country from the moral, intellectual and cultural deterioration. If there are any people who need the parents of art and science, it is they to whom some authorities give credit for being the parents of art and science, and who will find that Egypt is considered to have been the cradle of knowledge. Its students are the leading intellectual lights of the world. The famous and illustrious scholars of ancient Egypt, in training, and from these often link, according to the book, to the one who made the assists well informed know very little and after the civil war, as it affects gives a version that must be accepted must be remembered that most books to men and women, which is equivallod more or less to suit their own pristine "The Birth of a Nation."

Dear Sir: Being a real paper, and instrumental in securing other members of the race to read its valuable works, I am grateful for you for enough to say a few words of relative to the conditions of the race in Southland, which was born in the South and in Northland. I am grateful to conditions. In regard to disfranchisement of the voter, the paying of the poll taxes, the prohibition on discrimination when the law is complied with, with a population of more than 12,000 people, there are 3,000 men of the race who are not qualified for election there were less than 50 who qualified. They disfranchise themselves through common negligence of which no one has been guilty of holidays thousands of dollars were spent for liquor and dissipation; that is the of disfranchisement here as elsewhere. Efforts to impress the race with the importance of qualifying themselves for public meetings have been quite public. Public meetings have been automated organization for the purpose have been without results. On the other hand, the efforts of the white man to keep us under their feet has had the desired effect, that is the use of vototransfer when you endeavor to interest one in his rights. It will be seen by this fact the white man who oppose our advancement is established through the illiterate of white men who oppose our advancement cannot conceive the injury accomplished through his indifference. Amendment to the Amendments to the law should be enforced the poll tax which every man should be the covation of the duty of the white man to tell my northern brothers this: The schools given us here are with the white man are teachers in the schools of race paid for their service with the white man are teachers in the schools of race You do call us disfranchised with the poll tax. You do not make an effort to qualify as voters? We have no grounds for complaint when the poll tax of murder are equally generic from unsocial conditions as much the fault of the white man is a contributing factor. With all physical and social conditions conceivable, the color line and racial distinctions between the frontier faction fastened about our neck to hold in the path of the mighty and strong if the ties of brotherly friendship would be but a straw in the path of the race progress and advancement. What prevents members of the race from organizing into societies of economic thrift? Let us step over it, get beyond it, and refuse to be bound by its tenets. Let us bind ourselves in a mutual binding, obstructive and binderous to our advancement as a race as the anti-progress spirit within.
