THIRTIETH YEAR. NO. 29. IN GOD WE TRUST REVIVES SCHOOL WORK IN RALEIGH TEACHES MANY INDUSTRIES. How St. Augustine Is Keeping Peace With Other Educational Institutions In North Carolina—Makes Extensive Improvements in Campus and Buildings to Meet Needs of Students. By GEORGE F. KING. Raleigh, N. C.-St. Augustine's school, this city, is keeping in the progressive procession of the educational institutions that are meeting the peculiar exigencies of the Afro-American young men and women. Professor J. W. Holmes, a graduate of the North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical College For Afro-Americans, located at Greensboro, is a conservative and very competent young man. He has elicited comment from the white people as well as the Afro-Americans of this section. He is a factor in this very creditable work of racial ascendancy as is being enhanced by St. Augustine's school. The thorough training that he received at his alma mater, which characterizes all of his graduates, has made him a success at everything that he has attempted to do. This is a fitting recognition of his ability to work to the extent of his natural limitation. After his graduation he became a contractor and builder in the city of Greensboro and at High Point, and in those cities there are many fine buildings as an attestation of his mechanical knowledge. When St. Augustine's school wanted a man of his caliber to make its industrial department meet the needs which were much evidenced daily by a large number of young people, he accepted the position of teacher in carpentry in the year of 1804. This position he creditably filled until September, 1908, at which time he was elected superintendent of industries. Professor Holmes succeeded the Rev. H. B. Qelany, D. D., who is now archdeacon for the work among Afro- PROFESSOR J. W. HOLMES. Americans in the diocese of North Carolina. The progress that this department has made under the skillful direction of Professor Holmes is eliciting praise in all sections of the country, for there are a host of young people that have been trained in this department, and they are meeting the strenuous competition in their respective trades and reflecting credit upon those that have so efficiently molded them for a life of service. Professor Holmes supervised the construction of the stately structure, St. Agnes' hospital, which cost approximately $40,000, and is superintending the construction of the Thomas Memorial building, which will cost about $30,000 when completed. These buildings, with other smaller buildings and extensive improvements made on the grounds and buildings of this beautiful school plant, is a "native ideal" for thousands of young Afro-Americans. The following industries are under his supervision: Carpentry, masonry, printing, farming, laundering, etc. This young man is brim full of optimism when it comes to making the Negro a tangible force in material activities. His keen business perception and character of sterling worth have made him an indispensable factor in many movements among our people in North Carolina. He is vice president of the Capital Building Loan association, which is assisting hundreds of thrifty wage earners in the race to procure comfortable homes. He is also a director and one of the principal stockholders of the Capital Development and Trust company. Both corporations are a fine success and a pride among the race in Raleigh and vicinity. In Masonic circles he holds two important positions. Such ambitions young men are a credit to their race and their alma mater and are solving the race problem in a very comprehensive and favorable manner. Baltimore Times Changes Hands. Melvin J. Chisum has lensed the Baltimore Times from Harry T. Pratt, owner of the paper. It will be Republican in politics. Mr. Chisum has been publishing the Tri-State News at Salisbury, Md., for some time. He has already assumed charge of the THE GAZETTE NOT as the great who grow more great Until from us they are apart— He walks with us in man's estate; We know his was a brother heart. The marching years may render dim The humanness of other men, Today we are akin to him As they who knew him best were then. Wars have been won by mail-clad hands, Realms have been ruled by sword-hedged kings. But he above these others stands As one who loved the common things; The common faith of man was his, The common faith in man he had— For this to-day his grave face is A face half joyous and half sad. A man of earth! Of earthy stuff, As honest as the fruitful soil, Gnarled as the friendly trees, and rough As hillsides that had known his toil; Of earthy stuff—let it be told, For earth-born men rise and reveal A courage fair as beaten gold And the enduring strength of steel. So now he dominates our thought, This humble great man holds us thus Because of all he dreamed and wrought, Because he is akin to us. He held his patient trust in truth While God was working out His plan, And they that were his foes, forsooth, Come to pay tribute to the Man. Not as the great who grow more great Until they have a mystic fame. No stroke of fortune nor of fate Gave Lincoln his undying name. A common man, earth-bred, earth-born, One of the breed who work and wait— His was a soul above all scorn, His was a heart above all hate. LINCOLN'S FAME FOREVER FIXED IN HISTORY THE flood of orations and editorials throughout the land, in which the loved and honored name of Abraham Lincoln appears, has for many years passed before our eyes, and the reader of them is able to see what an immense fame the name of Lincoln has already achieved, and to what an extent the popular estimate of the man verges upon hero worship. For if we would know popular feeling concerning a great name, these public memorial addresses and newspaper editorials, for the most part attuned to the public pulse, are a better guide than the more cautious and unemotional estimates to be found in the works of the best historians. The mass of the people do not read the ponderous histories; they do read the newspapers and listen to the glowing periods of the popular orator on ceremonial or commemorative occasions. A prominent western paper has declared that Lincoln is universally regarded as "the one indispensable man" of the Civil war period. Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale took occasion to condemn certain phases of the Lincoln portrait as presented in a certain popular novel of the Civil war period, on the ground that they unnecessarily vulgarized Lincoln's character. Only one newspaper editorial has come to our attention which in any way tried to exhibit some of the possible defects of Lincoln as a statesman, and that was unmistakably designed to excuse certain faults of politicians in general by enveloping them with the halo that surrounds a great name. The tendency to regard Lincoln as the one essential man, whose wisdom was never at fault, and whose name deservedly gathers to itself the exclusive veneration of the people, even to the point of worship, is unmistakable and the question arises whether a period of reaction can possibly follow this phase in the development of what one of our most iconoclastic historical scholars has called "the Lincoln legend." It seems probable that the reaction will never be very serious or pronounced. Books on "The True Abraham Lincoln" will undoubtedly begin to appear a generation or two hence, just as they have appeared in our own time with Washington, Franklin and Jefferson as subjects. A certain nausea finally makes itself felt in many minds after too long a period of excessively high colors in the painting of historical portraits, and the re ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1913. action is seen in "the true" class of biographical studies. But Lincoln, however much he may suffer in the future from overpraise, is still fortunately fixed on the stage of the world's past, and whatever reaction there may be, even in the minds of scholars, is not likely to assume the dimensions of real controversy. Historians will never quarrel over him as they do over Cromwell and Napoleon, or even Jefferson. We shall never have a Clarendon writing down Lincoln, as the English Clarendon did Cromwell; nor a Taine, who, though a Frenchman, devoted all the extraordinary power of an analytical and scholarly — Replica of the Figure of Lincoln, Seated, by St. Gaudens. mind to demolish the Napoleonic legend which other French historians had constructed. The bitterness and partisan malice which have characterized the warfare of historians over the life work of the stout Englishman who cut off Charles' head, and the colossal Frenchman, who ground Europe under his heel, are never likely to distinguish the work of either southern or northern historians of our Civil war period. And without such a quarrel, the weaker side of Lincoln Perhaps the reason why Lincoln will never arouse much controversy like these other towering historical figures is that the work he wrought and the cause he personified are less open to honest differences of opinion. For two centuries after Cromwell head was hacked from his dead body and made a public show as a mock to his name, good men were sharply divided as to whether the anti-monarchical cause in England had been in any way grounded in reason or justice. Over the work of Napoleon men today violently differ, and centuries may have to elapse before a final consensus of opinion regarding him will possible. In Lincoln's case, the situation is already clear. No one, not even the southernners, now believes that the policy of secession was sane; and very few of them regret that the attempt at disunion failed. As for the negro, whatever controversy may yet survive as to his status, all agree that the destruction of slavery was a blessing. And this consensus of opinion regarding the cause of which Lincoln became the leader must ever present serious attacks upon his position in history. But the very fact that Lincoln's fame is made so secure against dangerous assault reveals the probability that he will be, if anything, overpraised and overglorified. Whether anyone will ever think it worth while to protest against excessive estimates of Lincoln's personal service may be doubted. Americans, at least, are not likely to take up the work of making the figure of one of their two supreme national heroes shrink in size. Foreigners who may write on American history will be more likely to measure him without the bias of national feeling. In any event, hostile criticism cannott leave Lincoln's fame in a state of collapse. He must remain one of the great men of modern times—one of the very greatest, ranking in the 19th century with just two others, Bismarck and Napoleon, in the importance of the issues he embodied. And still it is a mistake to assume that Lincoln was "indispensable." Without him the north would surely have won the fight, because of its own superior strength. It is no disparagement of great men to say that their names come to represent far more than anything they actually were in the flesh. The labels of these historic figures assume abstract, impersonal attributes, they stand for causes and sum up the energies, the hope, the struggles of whole peoples. It is only fair to common humanity that toils and suffers that this be not forgotten.—Springfield Republican. Daily Thought.

Chronological Story of the Precursor of Many Great Americans to Whom Credit is Due For the Overthrow of Slavery — Twice Supported Lincoln For Presidency. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The chronology of the busy and eventful life of Frederick Douglass is interesting to all Americans. He was born in Tuckahoe, Md., in February, 1817. He lived with his master until 1833, at which time he was sent to live with a slave owner by the name of Edward Covey, from whom he made an unsuccessful attempt to escape. He was subsequently sent to Baltimore to learn the caller skults' trade. After working at his trade for some considerable time, always with the determination in view of gaining his freedom, he finally succeeded by running away in 1838, went to New York and married a Miss Anna Murray. It was not until he had read Scott's "Lady of the Lake" and had taken up FRED DOUGLASS' MONUMENT. residence in New Bedford, Mass., that he assumed the name of Douglass. He was a prominent figure at the anti-slavery convention held in New Bedford in 1841 and delivered several addresses before that important body. He was foremost in the Rhode Island campaign against the Dorr rebellion in 1842, was one of the famous "One hundred convention" of the New England Anti-Slavery society. In 1845 he published "Frederick Douglass" Narrative." At the close of 1845 he visited Great Britain and Ireland, where he remained for two years. His English friends gave him enough money to purchase his freedom. On his return to America in 1847 he went to Rochester, N. Y., and began the publication of the North Star. "My Bondage and My Freedom" was the subject of a book which he published in 1855. From 1856 to 1859, when he made his last visit to John Brown, Douglass was more or less deeply engaged in politics. He supported John C. Fremont for the presidency. His activity against slavery was the cause of his having to escape to Canada to avoid arrest for alleged complicity in the famous John Brown raid upon Harpers Ferry. Mr. Douglass did not return to the United States from Canada until he revisited England, from whence he returned in time for the great political campaign in which he gave his support to Lincoln. Frederick Douglass was an important factor in recruiting the Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth Massachusetts colored regiments in 1863. Upon invitation he visited President Lincoln at the White House and supported him for re-election in 1864. In 1866 he was elected delegate from Rochester to the loyalist convention held in Philadelphia. In 1869 Douglass went to Washington, where the next year he was appointed secretary of the Santo Domingo commission. In 1872 he was elected presidential elector of the state of New York and was chosen by the electoral college to take the vote to Washington. He was one of the chief speakers at the unveiling of Lincoln's statue in Lincoln park, Washington, in 1876. President Rutherford B. Hayes made Mr. Douglass marshal of the District of Columbia in 1877. Mr. "Douglas" career from 1881, when he was appointed recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, until his death, which occurred at his home, Cedar Hill, Anacostia heights, Washington, Feb. 20, 1895, is as follows: Published "Life and Times of Frederick Douglass" 1882; in 1884 attended the funeral of Wendell Phillips, delivered eulogy on Phillips; married Miss Helen Pitts, a white woman, in 1884; delivered lectures on John Brown; revisited Europe in 1880; made tour of the southern states; appointed United States minister to Haiti and charge d'affaires to Santo Domingo; addressed abolition reunion in Boston in 1890; in 1893 acted as commissioner for Haiti at the World's Columbian exposition. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. BRIGHT OUTLOOK SOUTH. Plenty of Room For Thrifty Workers Boy, Row W, Haitie, Success Rev. J. W. Hair's Success. Jackson, Miss.-Mississippi is full of opportunities for the young colored American despite the much talked of race prejudice. Many of them are taking advantage of the opportunities and pushing to the front and are being heard from in various walks of life. Perhaps it would be a source of inspiration to the public and especially the young people from time to time to hear something about those who are forging to the front. In the pulpit many strong men are taking the places of the men who are growing less active. Then the medical, law, dental and other professions are claiming the attention of both men and women. In the pulpit one of the strongest men is the Rev. J. W. Hair, D. D., pastor of the Pearl Street A. M. E. church in this city. In this he is serving his fifth year and is one of the leaders in the educational work. He was born in Sumter county, Ala., about thirty-nine years ago of slave parents. His father, Ned Hair, was a politician of wide influence during the reconstruction period. The Rev. Mr. Hair became active as a Christian worker at the age of fifteen, superintendent of the Sunday school at the age of sixteen and was licensed to exhort in 1805; district superintendent of Sunday schools, Vicksburg district, A. M. E. church, 1897-8; local preacher in 1898, admitted to the annual conference on trial at Vicksburg in 1890 by Bishop W. B. Derrick, entered the itinerant ministry at Yazoo City in 1901 and was assigned to the Indianola mission with five members and no church. Here he demonstrated the fact of his ability as a leader and an organizer of men. Within nine months' time he had increased the membership from five to twelve and built a church worth $2,500. At this place the conference allowed him to remain for five years, in which time he raised the charge from a mission to a full fledged church, leaving it clear of debt and with one of the most refined and cultured congregations in the state. He was ordained deacon by Bishop E. Tyree in 1902 and elder in 1903. His second charge was in Yazoo City. He served this charge one year and broke all previous records. At this place he again showed wise and safe leadership. Amidst confusion and discord he conducted a successful revival and added eighty-four members to the church and paid a $600 debt and reported $120 of what is known as dollar money. Rev. M. Hair was appointed to his present charge by the late Bishop E. W. Lampion three years ago. He has reduced the church debt from $47,000 to less than $1,700. He is much interested in all that makes for race advancement. He is one of the pioneer members of the Woodmen of Union and is now the supreme secretary of that fraternity. He is the supreme governor of the Fishermen of the Red Cross Relief society, which is having a wonderful growth under him as its supreme head. He is broad, generous and just. He has a devoted and loving wife and four children. He also possesses a little of the world's goods. He is destined to be a great leader in the councils of his church and race. TASK FOR SUPREME COURT. Mississippi Jimcrow Car Muddle Up For Final Settlement. Whether the "Jimcrow" car laws of a state apply to interstate passengers as well as to interstate travel is being tried out in the supreme court of the United States on an appeal brought up from the supreme court of the state of Mississippi by Miss Pearl Morris, a white woman, who has been awarded $2,000 damages by the supreme court of Mississippi for being compelled by a railroad company to occupy a Pullman coach in which three Negroes were traveling. The case is being watched with deep interest. A decision for Miss Morris may mean that the Pullman company must provide special sleepers for the colored people. If the plaintiff is not sustained colored Pullman passengers will ride through Mississippi without let or hindrance and an antiquated issue will have reached a happy settlement. Stanfield Prepared For Business. Howard university is proud of the splendid record which scores of its graduates are making as teachers, professional and business men and women scattered as they are throughout the United States. In the New Jersey state medical examination, where forty-five persons were examined for license to practice medicine, Augustus Stanford, a Howard graduate, received the highest mark. He is well prepared to enter upon the exacting duties of his profession. Bishop Leete Succeeding In His Work. Bishop Leete, head of the Florida conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, has held conferences during the month of January at Tampa and Palatka. The bishop is a hard worker and is succeeding in his field. The churches belonging to the Florida conference has been greatly helped by co-operating heartily in the work. The conference held at Palatka closed on Thursday, Jan. 30. City Secretary For Y. W. C. A. Work. Miss Eva Bowles, former secretary of the Young Women's Christian association in New York, has been appointed as the general secretary for city work among Afro-American women. Miss Bowles brings to the work several years' experience. She is filling her new position very acceptably. THE UNION TOOK LINCOLN'S PLACE IN ARMY Young Pennsylvanian Sent to Do Duty From Which President Was Debarred. GRAVE AT STROUDSBURG, PA J. Sumerfield Staples the Name of the Substitute Who Was in Person at the Front While Great Statesman Ruled at Washington. Abraham Lincoln had a substitute who served as a defender of the Union through the bloody and epoch-making period of the Civil war. This assertion has been made many times before. It has aroused bitter controversy in various quarters; it has given birth to columns of print, both in support and denial of its truth. The exemption of the president of the United States from the taking up of arms, or serving on an actual field of battle, is provided for by a special statute drawn up to meet such a contingency. But there is nothing to prevent the nation's chief executive from sending forth a substitute to fight in his place, although Lincoln was the only occupant of the White House who ever took advantage of this fact, writes Prof. Bernard J. Cigrand. The man who represented in his person that of the martyred president was John Summerfield Staples, whose body lies at rest in a little cemetery at Stroudsburg. Pa. The tombstone above his grave, photograph of which is here reproduced, testifies not only to Staples' war record, but states in granite letters the fact of his having served as Abraham Lincoln's substitute. The inscription in question reads as follows: "J. Summerfield Staples, a Private of Co. C, 175 Regt., P. V. Also a Member of the 2 Reg. D. C. Vols., as a Substitute for ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Died Jan. 11, 1888. Aged 43 Years, 2 Moz. 25 Days." His grave also bears the G. A. R. marker, a metallic star upon which the words "Post 150" appear. A small American flag flutters in the breeze, but the outside world seems little in J. Summerfield Staples. formed as to the career of this patriotic and distinguished soldier boy. There are several people still living in Stroudsburg who knew Staples and remember that to him belonged the unique distinction of representing Lincoln on the field of battle. Among their number are J. T. Palmer, postmaster and principal of the public school; C. L. Drake, editor of the Stroudsburg Times, and Representative A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania. It was characteristic of Lincoln that he kept the matter from the public press, and a like modestly seems to have imposed silence on the young soldier. One does not have to make a very exhaustive study of Lincoln's character in order to understand the motive which led him to send a substitute to represent him in the scenes of the bloody drama then being enacted throughout the land. His conscience was not of that easily-satisfied variety which contents itself with allowing things to remain as they are, without indulging in exertion for the common good. His was the hand which was steering the Ship of State through tempest and crush of hostile guns, yet great as was the task assigned him, he perceived with the eagle eye that watched the course of action, a post still unfilled, an unoccupied niche where a combatant could be placed to strike in behalf of the Union. To that post he resolved to appoint a representative, that he might be practically in person—as he was already in spirit—on the red field of carnage. It was done quietly, in that simple, unostentatious manner that distinguished all of Lincoln's acts, whether in official or private life. He never played to the gallery, and the verdict of his own conscience was all he cared about. (Copyright, by W. Q. Chapman.)

Ohio's separate marriage bill must be fought. What are our state leaders doing to make the necessary organized effort and protest? Now we have "mountain" whites, in N. Y. state, on a par, almost, with those in the south, according to Bishop Nelson (white) of Albany. See letter from that city, in this paper. We regard Mr. T. W. Taylor's letter—protest, republished elsewhere in this paper, as one of the strongest and best on the subject of intermarriage, we have ever seen. It will repay you, many times, for a careful reading. We felt sure, Dr. Rowley, president of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and editor-in-chief of it's monthly publication, "Our Dumb Animals," would accede to our reasonable request. See his welcome letter elsewhere in The Gazette, today. Thanks, Dr. Rowley. Democratic legislators in Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Iowa, Kansas and other northern states, are centerring their attack upon our civil rights in a general onslaught against intermariage. Anti-intermarriage bills are pending in many northern state assemblies and are prime notices to our people to wake up and "get very busy" if they would retain the citizen rights left, to say nothing of regaining those already lost. Mr. Jesse Binga of Chicago, well-known and successful banker and real estate broker, is the first Afro-American to join the Illinois Bankers' Association, or that of any other state, although Jno. Mitchell fr., president of the Mechanics' Saving Bank of Richmond, Va., is a member of the National Bankers' Association. Showly but surely we are making progress in the business world in spite of tremens dous barriers built by racial prejudice We salute wise Messrs. Binga and Mitchell, and say to our other bankers, go thou, and do likewise if possible. Harry A. Levy, a Jew, manager of the Lyric Theater, N. Y. city, refused Louis F. Baldwin and Miss Jennie Green, members of the race, orchestra circle seats, and was given a sentence of $50 fine or ten days in the city prison, as a result of the criminal action brought against him. He appealed the case and, last week, again lost. N. Y. state's Malby law is a copy of our Ohio Civil Rights' law. Now, let our people in this state again become active in the fight for their citizen rights in all public places where there is effort to deny them. Mr. Baldwin's victory is very encouraging, indeed, as it does fresh from the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, January term, 1913. Our attention has just been called to Attorney Graham Deuwell's recent splendid victory at Columbus. See letter from that city elsewhere in this paper. More prime encouragement, and right here in Ohio, too. The Jews of N. Y. City, were right in their opposition to the reading of the "Merchant of Venice" in the public schools of that city because of its "Shylock" character. In referring to their protest, a writer in a N. Y. daily newspaper who sought to be "smart," asked why the Danes do not object to "Hamlet" and why the Negroes do not ask for the elimination of "Othello?" The answer is that the characters of "Hamlet" and "Othello" do not ridicule the Danes and Negroes, respectively. This cannot be said of the character "Shylock" and the Jews, and explains their righteous protest referred to above. Cleveland Jews who are promoting a Y. M. H. A. as a protest against, and as a result of, discriminations against members of their class or race, are waging a manly fight against the miserable local Central Y. M. C. A. for which they are to be commended. We cannot commend too strongly the following excerpt from an editorial in the N. Y. Age of last week: "The Negro must fight for his rights, the least and greatest, whenever they are assailed, or he will have none in the end. The Separate Marriage law scheme should be fought to the bitter end. At the bottom of the whole scheme to isolate the Negro citizen in all of the public and private relations of life—in the industrial trades, skilled and unskilled, by trades union rules and regulations; in segregating them, separating them to themselves in living districts, in cities, villages and counties, and in branding them by law as so far inferior that they may not marry and give in marriage, not other races of the citizenship are free to do; in eating and drinking in places of licensed accommodation and amusement, and in accommodations in travel, by land and see, as others are free to do—at the bottom of the slave-holder's doctrine, as formulated into the law of precedent by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney of the Federal Supreme Court in 1856, that it has been so far held to be good law and precedent that a black man has no rights that a white man is bound to respect." LIBERIAN STRUGGLES. Many who read the brief dispatches narrating the recent victory of the Liberian troops over the rebellious Croos doubtless believed the contest was waged in the remote and practically unexplored hinterland. Such an assumption, however, is quite unwarranted. The decisive fight took place at Rock Cess, about in the middle of Liberia's stretch of 500 miles of coast. It was in the center of the most civilized and best settled part of the republic. The little war against the rebellious Croos of the coast has nothing whatever ever to do with the struggle for mastery of the hinterland. This seems altogether too large an undertaking for the Liberians, and the Liberian S. H. supremacy over the rich regions back from the coast is almost wholly theoretical. It is guarded, however, by treaties with France and Great Britain, the two nations with territory adjacent to Liberia. Neither French nor British have made any menace against Liberia because of the Croo troubles. But the Germans, who are constantly on the outlook for a possible chance at any African acquisition, dispatched warships to the Liberian coast to demand the "protection of German interests." These "interests" have doubtless been conserved by the recent Liberian victory, which was won under the direction of a "borrowed," United States army officer (Major Charles Young of Ohio). There is no possible doubt that Liberia would have already lost its independent existence were it not for the interest and friendliness of the United States. The Monroe doctrine does not extend to Liberia, and Liberia is in no sense a dependency of this country, yet the fact that the United States has had a sympathetic eye on the republic has unquestionably saved it from the aggressions of France and Great Britain, and may now be effective in holding the Germans from taking possession under some pretense or other. The undeveloped resources of the country are great, and it appears a tempting morsel for a land hungry power. There are plenty of pretexts discoverable for annexation or at least for the declaration of a protectorate, the most plausible being the admitted inability of the Liberians to make the most of their own country, or even to maintain the authority of their government except in a restricted area. The very existence of Liberia today is a high testimonial to the esteem in which the United States of America is held by European nations.—Cleveland Dally Plain Dealer. The daily papers recently printed, without a word of adverse criticism, a resolution adopted by the South Carolina legislature and an excerpt from a speech delivered recently by former Speaker Cannon, as follows: The resolution asserts: "The Negro race has made no advancement only as he comes in contact with the other human races. The people of these United States have advanced the Negro further than any other nation, having taught him the most extensive language on the globe, the use of tools, the wearing of clothing, and, above all, the Christian religion. In return for all these advantages he has given the people of these United States only anxiety, strife, and hatred and hoodworm. In view of these circumstances Congress is asked to deprive the Negro of the ballot, and the South Carolina members of Congress are asked to take active steps toward the repeal of the fifteenth amendment." The extract from Mr. Cannon's speech is equally significant following his defeat at the polls, last fall: "There are certain great characters that will dwell in the history of the country," said Mr. Cannon; "first, and barely first, Washington; second, Lincoln; third, Lee, a great man, a great General, who did his duty from his patriotic standpoint; fourth, Jefferson Davis, a great man performing a great service for the Republic as he saw his duty." The nation, especially the state of Ohio, feels the loss at the present juncture from the national congress, of such patriotic statesmen and friends of humanity as former Captain J. B. Foraker and Private D. A. Holingsworth, who, when in congress, stood manfully for the constitutional amendments and the rights of the Negro race thereunder. The Gazette hopes to see them returned. Anti-Intermarriage Measure Fails. Topeka, Kan.—Following a stiff fight by the Topeka Plaindealer and leading Afro-American residents of this State, the bill prohibiting the intermarriage of other races with whites was killed by the State Legislature committee of the State Senate Jan. 31 it had previously passed the lower branch of the Legislature and divided big fines, imprisonment, or both, for those directly or indirectly concerned in the marriage of whites to other races. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1913. INTRODUCED IN THE OHIO AND MICHIGAN LEGISLA; THE Such Legislation Promotes Immorality—Absolutely No Necessity for It Anyhow—Unconstitutional and Vicious. Detroit, Mich. Feb. 12, 13. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Cleveland, Dear Ohio. Editor Gazette, Dear Shr.:—In view of the fact that a member of the Ohio Legislature has made the mistake one of Michigan's, introducing an anti-marriage bill; also recognizing the interest you must take in the matter as a member of the race who has served three terms in the Ohio Legislature, and for thirty years published our "old reliable" Gazette. I am sending you the following letter—protest, first published in the Free Press of Feb. 2, 13, hoping that the office, will find room for it in The Gazette: To the Editor: Recently I had the pleasure of reading in a local journal an excerpt from a statement made by Rabbi Fleischer, a Boston white man, in which it was stated he said that he "would marry a Negro woman if she appealed to him and would give his daughter to a Negro gentleman if they loved each other. In 1903 during a war, he and his armory, in the city, Benjamin Tillman of South Carolina, in answer to a question by the writer as to "where so many people of mixed white and black blood came from in his section of the country," made a similar "confession of faith," but from a far different premise. He said: "White men always mix their blood with native races where ever they go," obviously meaning that the white people of the south had mixed their blood with the Negro in the large proportion of mixed blood found in the southern population notwithstanding their laws forbidding intermarriage. It appears, then, a more or less mixture of the blood of different races is bound to result from the fact that two or more races occupy the same land in any event. And it seems that the only question before the people is the method of permitting that mixture. The method Dr. Tillman used was highly organized, humane honorable and it may be added, even in his case, the Christian method of permitting the blood mixture of the races, while the method approved by Mr. Tillman is the selfish, immoral and altogether heathen [Picture of a man in a suit]. in limiting the opportunities for Negro ambitions. Then again, such laws as attempt to prohibit marriage between the races are unconstitutional inasmuch as they interfere with the religious duty of both clergy and laymen. For it is the command of holy writ, and of the laws of several religious denominations, to join in holy wedlock all those of their members who rightfully apply, "rightfully" according to church and law and not by state statutes. And the constitutions of all the states and of the countries where they interferes with religion. Each citizen being free to worship according to his own conscience, which includes certain matrimonial duties. Father James Reilly, the now venerable and saintly priest of the mighty Catholic church, always married mixed couples when one was a Catholic in spite of the prohibition before 1884. If the white people of this nation have concluded that the Negro people are to remain a part of the population, then treat them as though the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries various states' laws for forbidding discrimination on account of color, were made and adopted in good faith. Constant degradation of any given class of people tends to make criminals of them, and the Negro people is no exception to the rule except in this, that in spite of much oppression it is seldom a black tramp is seen nor are they to crime nearly as much as might, under the circumstances, be expected.

Bishop Nelson Tells of Finding Heathen in the Albany N. Y. Diocese. Albany, N. Y.—Bishop Coadjutor Henry Nelson of Albany, in addressing a men's meeting recently told of a clan of white people in some of the mountain countries in the northern part of the Albany Episcopal diocese who think nothing of exchanging wives and who are heathens as far as spirited women. Bishop Nelson says he came in contact with these people during missionary tours through the diocese. "Their condition is almost unbelievable," he said. "They are not only illiterate, but lack common decency. They neglect marriage laws, men and women living together without marriage ceremony, and neighbors think nothing of swapping wives." Bishop Nelson says religious meetings in this part of N. Y. state are rare and told of a very recent meeting conducted by two Mormons at the conclusion of which a number of young women went with the Mormons back to Utah. TO GIVE AN EQUAL CHANCE To Young Men and Women—A Splendid Movement. Chicago, Ill.—Investments started by Edward C. Wentworth, chairman of the executive board of Frederick Douglass center, 3032 South Wabash Ave., to determine whether there is a prejudice against employment of Afro-Americans in Chicago stores and offices resulted in the publication, reprinting, and censorship of a book written by Chicago bankers, lawyers and merchants, recognizing that such a prejudice exists and pledging their help to eradicate this feeling. Among the men who assured Mr. Wentworth that they will lend their aid to give our young men and women an equal opportunity with whites were Julius Rosenwald, William E. Mason, Judge E. O. Brown, N. W. Harris, George H. Gebster, Irwin, S. Roseniel, John O'Connor, Married S. Kahns, George Packard, Francis E. Bromell, Louis F. Post, Robert McMurdy, Judge E. O. Brown, Harold Eckes and others representing many professions. Fighting Anti-Intermarriage Bill. Madison, Wis.-The Stewart bill prohibiting the marriage of blacks and whites is meeting with sharp disapproval from our people of Wisconsin. The Washington men's forum of Milwaukee has petitioned the members of the legislature against the proposed law, branding it as a "vicious attempt at class legislation contrary to the political and civil economy of our republican institutions." "A legal barrier cannot effectively check amalgamation," writes Rev. J. W. Wood of St. Mark's A. M. E. church of Milwaukee to the members. "There will be amalgamation among the races spite of any law. It is there far better for both men and women to viewpoint to let the matter be regulated by individual choice rather than to prevent decent matrimonial unions by unconstitutional enactments." The nervous child has in him the making of the brilliant man, but he is generally spolied in the making. You must be patient and long-suffering with the ooy or girl of nervous temperament, else you will do your child great injury. Never scold or tease Never hold the little one to ridicule. Above all never use the whip. It is only by the greatest means that the best can be brought out of the highly strung child, but when the proper course is taken such children are wonderfully responsive.
