THIRTY-FIRST YEAR. NO. 26 TH1RTY-FIRST WIFE PLEAD WITH HIM TO SLAY HER Aged Man Says Woman Was Suffering Great Pain. 'END IT ALL FOR ME; NO SIN' Judge Fixes Crime at Murder in the Second Degree and Impasses Penalty Which is Practically Life Sentence. Philadelphia, Pa.—Tottering under the weight of his 80 years, William Eberwein stood in criminal court here and told a simple but dramatic story of how his wife, 15 years younger, had pleaded with him to kill her, and how he committed the deed. After the old man had completed the story, Judge Walling of Erie, Pa., temporarily presiding in the court, surveyed the bent form of the prisoner, fixed the crime at murder in the second degree and imposed the minimum penalty, which in this case, was practically a life sentence. It was solitary confinement in the penitentiary for not less than seven years or more than 14. Holding on to the prisoner's dock with trembling hands, Eberwein, who is a veteran of the Civil war, told the coconspirer of his wife was an invalid and that one day last October he came into their home and found her lying at the bottom of a stairway down which she had fallen. He offered to have her sent to a hospital, but she would not go. "You do it. William:" Eberwein alleged she said. "Do what?" I said," the prisoner continued. "End it all for me. It's no sin when I'm suffering so." "I had a board in my hand that I had brought in out of the yard. I looked at her and guessed it would not be a sin." "Go on, William," she says, "go on." "Then I tapped her on the head with the board, and I tapped her again. She did not moan much, and once when I stopped she kind o' whispered: 'Go on, it won't be long.' So I kept on tapping and she got quiet." Eberwein stopped speaking, but no one urged him on. Then he began again and told of his arrest. "If I get out of this I want to go to the soldier's home," he said. LORD STRATHCONA DIES HIGH COMMISSIONER OF CANADA ACQUIRED A FORTUNE BY HARD WORK. London, England.—Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, high commissioner for Canada, is dead here. LORD STRATHCONA. The grand old man of Canada started his career as an officer of the Hudson Bay Co. Years later he became president of the Bank of Montreal and entered the Dominion parliament. He won knighthood by quieting the Red River Indians and finally was made a peer and high commissioner for Canada. He acquired a fortune of millions by hard work and thrift. New Haven, Ct—Many Yale men have taken this pledge: "We believe that it is for the best interests of Yale that all men who have at heart the advancement of the cause of Christ be united in a definite plan of action. We are agreed that under present conditions at Yale it is our duty during our college course to refrain absolutely from and try to suppress drinking, gambling and betting and attendance at immoral theatrical performances." Prayers Cure Cancer. Baltimore, MD—In answer to his prayers to the virgin mother for two years a cancer on his nose from which he has suffered for the last 27 years has been cured, declares Peter Pryal, aged 72. The old man said he retired one night and on awakening he discovered that the cancer, which had been eating its way into his left eye and into his brain, had been cured. Pryal discarded the shield which he has worn over his nose for years and the skin of the nose was perfectly dry. THE GAZETTE A. Bonar Law, leader of the Unionists In the British parliament, in a speech at Bristol openly predicted civil war in Ulster over the home rule question. REPRESENTATIVE GORMAN, THE FATHER OF MOVEMENT, IN-TRODUCES BILL IN HOUSE. Parent Must Prove That by Reason of Death or Disability of Husband She Is Dependent and Has No Income. Washington, D. C. — Representative George E. Gorman of Chicago, Democrat, has just introduced a bill to establish a mothers' pension system. It provides the mother of one and not more than three living children under 18 years of age shall receive $10 a month and the mother of four or more living children under 18 shall receive $15 a month. The mother must prove that by reason of the death or disability of her husband by injury or disease she is dependent and has no income other than her own wages and those of her children, if employed. She will receive the pension until her youngest child is 18; unless, in case she is a widow, she remarries or her depend- ency classes. "We Americans are developing a large population of institutionally raised children," said Mr. Gorman. "In visiting the asylums which take care of orphans I have discovered that many of the children have mothers who are simply unable to support them. The one thing of all the mothers is the influence and companionship of their mother. If the government will pay out some money to help those mothers keep their children at home we will have better boys and girls in this country. "Right now we are considering a bill to pay out $3,480,000 a year to help the farmers raise better hogs, sheep and cattle, but we have never once done a thing to help the mothers of the country raise better children. The money the federal government would spend in this direction would come back a hundredfold in the improved character of a large proportion of its citizens." SHOOTS WIFE. KILLS SELF HUSBAND PROBABLY FATALLY WOUNDS WOMAN FOLLOWING A QUARREL. Sulicide Had Accused His Spouse of Leaving Him for Good, and When She Did Not Deny Accusation He Fired. Erie, Pa.—Jay Cole, fifty, shot and perhaps fatally wounded his wife of one year, Ida Cole, 45, and then shot and killed himself following a quarrel at their home at Cherry Hill, this county. The woman, who was a widow with seven children, was leaving the home against Cole's wishes to accompany her son, Carl Griffey, to his home in Conneaut, O. The woman's children opposed her marriage to Cole, it is said. Monday the woman's son drove to the Cole home and asked his mother to return home with him. She packed her clothing and started. Cole accused her of leaving him for good, and when she did not deny the accusation shot her in the head with a heavy caliber rifle. As Mrs. Cole fell Cole turned the gun upon himself, pulled the trigger and fell dead. Prisoner Kill Four. McAllister, Okla.—Three prisoners, after overpowering their guards and taking the latter's revolvers, shot their way out of the state penitentiary here, killing four persons and wounding three others before they were finally rounded up by a posse and themselves killed. The dead: P. C. Oates, deputy warden; P. C. Godfrey, guard; H. P. Decover, Bertillon man; Judge Thomas, a Muskogee attorney; China Reed, Tom Lane and Charles Kuntz, prisons. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. Many Have Produced Works of Real Merit. INFLUENCE OF GOOD BOOKS Impartial Estimate of the Achievements of a Group of Authors Whose Intellectual Powers Reveal the Capacity of the Race For High Ideals. Best Effort in Fiction. BY CHARLES ALEXANDER. Los Angeles, Cal.-Most of the important life values are found in the books we read. Art, science, philosophy and religion are great life values in the training of the human intellect, and these are brought to us through the medium of books. The making of books is the most vital work of the race, but only men of real talent and genius are able to produce books of worth and permanent value. In literature the Negro has thus far produced but few "deep diggers." The chief glory of every race rests in its authors, and the Negro race is just entering into the larger and more glorious possibilities of literary effort. The object of literature is to impart vital lessons of life, to give pleasure, to excite interest, to banish solitude, to make attractive our future prospects and to give inspiration to worthy strivings. The person who loves books need of neither justification nor excuse, for with the love of books in the heart one is rich indeed. It is a sort of compliment to the race that it has, so early after its emancipation from slavery, developed so many booklovers. Although the performance of some of our writers has not reached greatness, yet it must be acknowledged that some of them have produced work of genuine literary merit. Prior to the civil war and for about fifteen years immediately thereafter the literary productions of the race were largely theological and autobiographical. Very little of this literature possessed the vital spark of true authorship. There was the lack of elegance and grace of style, and hence the books produced during that period soon lost their place in the memories of men. But a considerable proportion of this literature dealt with the escape of slaves from bondage. The most thrilling and perhaps the best example of all such narratives is the autobiography of the great Frederick Douglass. This book, "Life and Times of Frederick Douglass", is fascinating in style and convincing in elucidation. It proves in its composition, when we consider the author's meager chances for acquiring knowledge, that Mr. Douglass was articulately gifted mind of unusual powers. The only book produced by an American Negro comparable with it is "Up From Slavey," by Dr. Booker T. Washington. But Dr. Washington has since produced many books dealing with a serious and practical discussion of the Negro question. In a peculiar sense his work takes first place in the list of Negro authors. Dr. Washington has enjoyed advantages of association and contact with the most distinguished people of the world, and, having a good, strong mind—a mind capable of penetrating to the very bottom of things—and, being a big souled man, he has, in simple, forceful language, set forth his views with telling effect. The best history of the Negro thus far produced is "The History of the Negro Race In America," by George W. Williams. This book is still in print by the Putnam's of New York and London. It contains the story of the race in America from 1619 to 1880, treating of the race as slaves, as soldiers and as citizens, together with a preliminary consideration of the unity of the human family, a historical sketch of Africa and an account of the governments of Sierra Leone and Liadea. In the field of fiction the Negro has done his best work. The short stories of Charles W. Chessnut measure up in literary quality to the best things done in recent years by any American writer, and the short stories of Paul Laurence Dunbar, with romping, singing, shouting and dancing characters, are as clean and artistic that they appeal to the most fastidious reader. Those persons apt to be offended by trifling impropieties found in the writings of careless authors experience no shock at any time while reading the stories of Chessnut or Dunbar. In the stories and essays of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols and Professor Kelly Miller there is seriousness from beginning to end. These authors have attained an important place in American letters. But what they have produced is no laughing matter. Dr. Washington often embellishes his narrative with a story, just to enforce a thought or illustrate a point, but neither Du Bols nor Miller ever perpetrates a joke. The pioneer writer of verse was the frail little slave girl of Boston—Phillis Wheatley, who was recognized by George Washington. Since her day Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Mrs. F. N. Mossell, Miss Cornellia Ray, Mrs. Victoria Earle Matthews, Mrs. Harvey Johnson, Miss Eloise Blake, Alice Ruth Dunbar, Mrs. Carle W. Clifford, Mrs. Susie I. Shorter and a host of others have written poetry, some good, some bad and some very bad. ENERGY OF W. H. STEWARD. Work of a Pioneer Editor and Champion of His Race. Louisville, Ky.—Among the men who have worked their way up from obscurity to prominence by giving their time and talents to movements for the advancement of the race is William H. Steward of this city. Mr. Steward is the editor of the American Baptist, one of the oldest publications issued by our people in the United States. He is one of the best known men in Kentucky and wields a potent influence for good. Editor Steward belongs to what many are pleased to call the "old guard" in Afro-American journalism. Other men of this group who have been on the editorial string line, like himself, for over a quarter of a century and some as long as thirty-one years are T. Thomas Fortune, who edited the New York Age for about twenty-seven years; Chris J. Perry, editor and owner of the Philadelphia Tribune; John H. Murphy, editor and proprietor of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger and president of the National Negro Press association, and the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland (O.) Gazette. For thirty-five years Mr. Steward has been the active and capable general secretary of the General Baptist association of Kentucky, as position of much responsibility, which he still WILLIAM H. STEWARD. holds with great credit and satisfaction to those whom he serves. He is also the chairman of the trustee board of the state university in this city, of which William T. Aurior is president. He was the choice of hundreds of pastors and laymen a few years ago as their representative to England in the interest of religious sins. On his return from abroad he delivered a series of lectures in which he gave interesting accounts of his trip. So popular were his lectures that he made a tour of the state, speaking in the larger cities and towns. It was while holding the position of secretary of the Afro-American council that Mr. Stewart augmented state wide attention in the right of the council against the Jimcrow cut bill, which came before the state legislature at that time. His life has been a useful one, and his efforts for the good of the race have been felt in many directions for racial betterment. AN ILLUSTRATED CALENDAR. National Benefit Association Issues Handsome and Expensive Date Book. The 1914 calendar of the National Benefit association in Washington is a thing of beauty. The illustrations are varied and timely, representing by photographs the progress of the race in business, education, medicine, law, religion and patriotism. The author of the composition says in describing the illustrated work: "The figure on the calendar which typifies that of advance in education is Professor Kelly Miller, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Howard university. Dr. Walter H. Brooks, who represents religion, has had a most successful pastorate at the great Nineteenth Street Baptist church for thirty-one years. In the law scene is Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the municipal court; Counselor James H. Hayes, a leader in the Progressive party movement; Hon. James A. Cobb, assistant district attorney, and Mr. Lawson, a court reporter. Surgery is represented by an actual operation being performed at Freedmen's hospital by Dr. W. A. Warfield, surgeon in chief; Dr. S. L. Carson, assistant and an interne. The soldier personifying the Negro of the army is, like ourselves, concerned in holding the flag of "Progress Upward." The picture denoting business is taken from the bookkeeping department of the association." New Book by Professor J. W. Cromwell, "The Negro In American History" is the title of a book written by Professor John W. Cromwell, principal of the Alexander Cromwell school and secretary of the American Negro academy in Washington. The purpose of the book, which will soon make its appearance, is to furnish the teacher with supplementary material to encourage the youth of the race to take greater interest in the affairs of government and especially the various movements for racial advancement. After giving a broad survey of the history of America, from its discovery and settlement through emancipation, the civil war and citizenship, the work includes detailed biographical sketches of eighteen colored men and women eminent in widely different fields of endeavor. BROWNING IS OPTIMISTIC. New Jersey Congressman Defends Ability of Colored Federal Employees. Washington—This city is stirred as never before on account of the great agitation which is going on in reference to the segregation of white and colored civil service employees in the various departments of the government service. The protest presented to the president not long ago and the investigation made by a representative of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People have gone far toward awakening a sense of justice in the minds of those responsible for the existence of segregation among the clerks and other federal employees. In an address recently delivered in this city by Representative W. J. Browning of New Jersey he said: "Civil liberty, whether enjoyed in whole or in part, has demonstrated the ability of colored citizens to advance in the scale of human progress against great odds. Much, it is true, that citizenship is supposed to confer is denied, but in many states the franchise is freely exercised, and this, it should be remembered, in states where this privilege is not likely to be withdrawn by circumvention of the constitution or other device and where numerical strength weighs heavily in the political equation. This strength has usually been on the side of good government. "We know that the full measure of representation is not accorded, but recognition of this principle is found in the filling of offices and positions of honor and trust in every branch of the government service and in the army and navy. They are here in the departments, and they would not be here if they lacked ability and efficiency. They are here because the equal opportunity was given them to enter through the door of a civil service examination. They are not here because they belong to a certain race or class, but in spite of that fact. They are participating in government, doing the government work, are a part of the machinery. "The flag, the only flag they have ever known, floats over every government building in which they work—the common flag of every American citizen, signifying unity as one in all things pertaining to common welfare. Here the standard is efficiency; here all are civil servants; here class, social, religious and political distinctions have no rightful place. Each and all are American citizens, nothing more and nothing less than American citizens. "I venture to assert that there are few men today anywhere in this country who would be willing to return to the system which the abolitionists strove to stamp out and which was stumped out. "There may be," and doubtless are, men who, while feeling that way about the institution of slavery, nevertheless are hostile to the colored man. This feeling is encendered by race prejudice and is manifested in ways only too well known to the public." LIBERIA THANKS DR. LYON FOR DONOVAN TRUST FUND. West African Republic Pleased With Work of Its Representative. Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon of Baltimore, the Liberian consul general to the United States, has received a number of letters from prominent Liberians commending his efforts in getting the accumulated interest of the Donovan trust fund for the development of Liberian schools. Among those who wrote him are Dr. J. H. Reed, president of the College of West Africa, and Hon. C. D. B. King, attorney general of the Liberian republic. The latter wrote as follows: "I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your dispatch, dated Oct. 9, conveying the most pleasing and gratifying announcement of the successful competition of the transaction relative to the Donovan trust fund and the turning over to your custody the amount of $65,511.11, being the sum realized from said fund and held by the American Colonization society. "In this you have again been a most useful and effective instrument in bringing about the realization and beneficial results to the future prosperity and development of the republic. May your life, therefore, be spared to be of continued usefulness to our republic and the Negro race, of which you are so worthy a representative. "I am taking up with the educational authorities the idea of your being appointed their financial agent in the United States to receive the annual income from the society and to investigate other funds which may be in the possession of other colonization societies in New York and Boston for educational work in Liberia. "Your action in expressing to the American Colonization society the grateful appreciation of the president and people of Liberia for the large amount of funds turned over to their official representative to the United States for the educational development of the republic was quite thoughtful." Young Lawyers Pass Bar Examination. Howard Gillard and Samuel Huffman were the successful Afro-Americans of a class of sixty-four young lawyers who passed their examination and who were recently sworn in by a supreme court justice as practicing attorneys in Columbus, O. Messrs. Gillard and Huffman each made high averages. "How many people in Atlanta," asks the Constitution of that city, "know to a certainty that their domestic servants do not come from diseased homes?" And in the discussion it puts forth these pertinent truths: "The business of safeguarding the health of the community, in its negro as well as its white sections, is that of self-preservation and not sentiment or philanthropy. The disease germ is the original democrat. It ignores the boundary line of race, of wealth and of station, as well as of mere geography. It knows no prejudices, inherited or acquired. It is murderously impartial in its depredations. You may not believe you are 'your brother's keeper', and you may be a trifical cymbol about your 'duty', to the negro. But you can hardly be negligent about your duty to your own child, and your own health personally, and keep a clean conscience." The Post for years has been stressing the importance of this very question for all southern cities. It has repeatedly urged upon the people of Houston that they cannot afford, even from the selfish point of view, to ignore the living conditions of the negro population. The negroes are the domestic servants of the servant-employing class of the southern cities. The negroes are a part of the life of the south, and will always be, and even if the white who employ them are not concerned in philanthropy at all, they wee it to themselves to have a deep concern for everything affecting the health and morals of the negro people. The nobler part is, of course, to realize in a broad and sympathetic sense our obligation to aid the negroes to better standards of living, because they are in so many respects depend upon the whites and because they so implicitly rely upon the whites. It will be to our everlasting honor and glory if history shall be able to say of us that we accepted the problems the war left us, and worked them out kindly, intelligently and well, but if we are concerned only for our own welfare, then it will be secondary philanthropy for us to see that living conditions among the negroes are such that they will not menace the health and prosperity of the white people. Negroes living amid insanitary conditions in southern cities are going to suffer the hardships of poverty and disease, they are going to suffer contamination and destruction in a moral sense, they are going to be a heavily consuming and inefficient element of population. But the whites will not be able to escape the consequences. They will have to bear the economic losses that a large and inefficient mass is certain to inflict, they will be victimized by the diseases that spread death and disaster among poorly housed and miserably environed human beings, and they will not escape the deadly blight of the immorality and vice that thrive among the ignorant, the deserate and the neglected poor. The vital statistics of every southern city reveal the inevitable consequence of inefficiency to conditions among the negroes—the servant class that brings into well-kept homes the deadly germs that multiply amid the miserable conditions that afflict the negro sections of so many southern cities.—Houston (Tex.) Post. Golf enthusiasts in Massachusetts yearly spend about $800,000 on the game. The 300 striking nego students of Shaw university at Raleigh, N. C., forwarded a memorial to the trustees of the institution in New York asking that Dr. Charles Meserve, president of the institution, be removed and a negro be put in his place. President Meserve, backed by southern white members of the faculty, issued an ultimatum ordering all rebelious students to resume their places at once, under penalty of expulsion. During the holiday a student married, against the college rules, and was dismissed. The boys asked to be heard through a committee. Dr. Meserve refused to receive the committee, but agreed to hear any individual. The strike resulted. The most exhaustive of tests have shown that it takes only one-seventh of a second for a wireless signal to pass across the continent from Washington to San Francisco. A Wyandotte hen belonging to Francis Baines, a well-known Wiltshire (England) poultry expert, has laid 588 eggs in the three years it has lived. In Glasgow in 1912 there were erected 11 warehouses and shops, 104 factories and stores and 11 new churches and halls. Although Belgium has reduced the working day of its coal miners to nine hours, the enforcement of the law has not apparently affected the production.

PY FIVE CENTS AN CULLINGS For the first time since 1905, a colored boy is among the senior officers at Harvard. Alexander Louis Jackson of Englewood, N. J., was chosen class orator at the 1914 election a few days ago, and will write and deliver the oration, which is one of the principal parts of the exercises in Sanders theater on the morning of class day. Jackson has been a member of the varsity track teams for two seasons. He is one of the best hurdlers now in the eastern colleges, particularly good over the high hurdles, but fast in both events, and has won many points for the Crimson teams in various meets. He has not been particularly prominent in other ways during his college course. He has won good grades, though he is not in the honor class. At Andover he won several prizes in public speaking, but at Harvard he has been so much occupied with other affairs that he has not tried for the prizes in speaking, though he has taken some of the courses offered. He is preparing for a teaching position in some one of the negro schools of the south. It is not the first time that a negro has been honored by election to such office at Harvard. The last time was with the class of 1905, when William Clarence Matthews, a clever baseball player, was chosen a member of the class day committee. In the years before that, the election of negro orators was quite frequent with the college classes. William H. Lewis, who has since served as assistant attorney general of the United States, was a commencement speaker on his graduation from the law school in 1895. He was not a graduate of Harvard college, but had his college education at Amherst, where he was graduated in 1892. There are in the southern states 9,000,000 negroes, writes Bocker T. Washington. There are 3,000,000 negro children of school age. Fifty-three per cent, or more than half, never go to school. Many of these negro children, particularly in the country district, are in school only from three to four months in the year. I am trying to get the white people to see that, both from an economic point of view and as a marker of justice and fair play, these conditions must be changed. I am trying to get the white people to see that sending ignorant negroes to halls and penitentiaries, putting them in the chain gang, hanging and lynching them does not civilize, but on the contrary, though it brutalizes the negro, at the same time blunts and dulls the conscience of the white man. I want the white people to see that it is unfair to expect a black man who goes to school only three months in the year to produce as much on the farm as a white man who has been in school eight or nine months in the year; that it is unjust to let the negro remain ignorant, with nothing between him and the temptation to fill his body with whisky and cocaine, and then expect him, in his ignorance, to be able to know the law and be able to exercise that degree of self-control which shall enable him to keep it. I am trying to get the white people to realize that no color line is drawn in the punishment for crime, no color line should be drawn in the preparation of life, in the kind of education, in other words, that makes for useful, clean living. The men who don't go to jail are either too good, or too rich. So far as the south is concerned the problem is in process of wholesome an certain solution. The future of the negro has never seemed so promising and bright. As a laborer, citizen and a man the under, this bright and beneficent policy, has advanced and is advancing day by day. There are no greater people in the history of nations than the people of the south. And in view of the history of the Civil war and of the reconstruction period that followed, the southern people have never been greater and wiser than in their present splendid attitude toward their former slaves.—Chicago American.

B,VD and Chestnut Drive, a member of the 11th Reg. U, S. C. T., during the war of the rebellion, sent The Gazette, the first of the week, the following interesting history:: "The passing away of Confederate Lieutenant General Simon Bolivar Buckner of Kentucky, Jan. 8, '14 at his home, Lexington, takes us back 49 years ago, when he surrendered to Gen. Canby at Pattersonville, La. Sunday, May 26th, time, 12:30 p.m., we were at 12 o'clock at 7 p.m. we were on our way back to Brasher City, La. where Gen. Canby's headquarters were established. The escort on that expedition was a Negro command—Co. A, 11th U. S. C. T., in charge of Capt. Thomas W. Frye, first lieutenant, Charles C. Chase; second lieutenant, Charles D. Green. The writer happened to be one of the number." To a local daily newspaper, published Monday, Rev. H. C. Bailey sent the following: "Our people are opposed to the segregated Mt. Pleasant Children's Home. Cleveland has been pretty tolerant toward our race. We regret that since the golden ruling of the criminal element Cleveland has become the home of a few Colored people in the city, but the majority of our people are peaceable, law-abiding and respectable citizens." Protest against the segregation of our orphan and dependent children in the alleged children's home on E. 126th street, in the Mt. Pleasant district, was made officially by our Ministry's Alliance. Tuesday morning, at their meeting in Cory M. E. church. The Councillors of the Mt. Pleasant home planed an open meeting at the Antioch Baptist church in support of the institution, but when application for the use of the church was made it was turned down by the trustees. Rev. H. C. Bailey, the pastor, stated Sunday evening. On invitation of Rev. H. C. Bailey, members of the Auxiliary to the Juvenile Court, met the Members' Alliance, Tuesday morning. The invitation grew out of a heated discussion at the auxiliary's meeting, last week, over Judge Addams' appointment of Miss Chesnutt, a daughter of Morton, the police officer of the judge's court after he had in vain repeatedly invited Mrs. P. Johnson Tarrer, president of the auxiliary, to accept the place, Mrs. Tarrer failing to notify the auxiliary of the same, so the organization could have suggested some to fill the position. Mrs. Tarrer and Mrs. Lethia Fleming urged the auxiliary to protest the appointment not "in touch" with her people of the community. Dr. Bailey, Mrs. Blanche Glmere and Mrs. Hattie Fairfax were opposed to any such action on the ground that Judge Addams had tried to get "a representative woman of the race" for the position (although he might have consulted leading men of the race in the community who are fortunate (copee) or failing to interest the president the auxiliary, and through her, the organization itself. Their counsel prevailed. Miss Chesnutt is capable, a fine young lady, and will make an excellent official for Judge Addams' court and the community, if she will but get in touch with our leading ladies as soon as she takes her position. Feb. 1. She is to have in her office the police officer of the many of our people are located, and is expected to have exceptional knowledge of them. She has made a study of sociology, etc., and ought to be exceptionally efficient. A STRONG PLEA! FOR JUSTICE AND CITIZEN RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES. Of Members of The Race, Especially in the South—An Earnest Appeal To The Federal Government, and to All Fair-minded Persons of This Country. Why do men allow their hearts to become so mean as to counsel and plot against every right that should have? Just because his skin is dark—is that the reason? Well, why didn't the white people leave us in our native land? We were getting along there as well as the Indian was here. In some parts of Africa, they are getting along better than we here are to-day, for they are not denied everything in that land that it takes to make a man happy and feel free, as we are in this country. How can the law-makers of America sleep at night? In some places in the South, we are not allowed in the parks, and on a beach, if you go to some places to get a glass of soda or a drink of water, they will ask you: "What did you bring to get it in?" These are just two references. There are thousands of other things we have to suffer that are 100 thousand times worse. Do these things come from a good heart? All hearts are good before they are trained to be bad. There was a little white boy and a little Colored boy who used to play together, even fight for each other. They knew no difference. They thought the same law was for all. But, at last, one day, the white boy's father called him and said: "James, you are getting too large to have a Negro boy for a playmate." James was a little boy and said: "Father replied: 'My son, you will soon learn that the laws in this country are not made for the Negro to enjoy the same things that we do.' The boy insisted that the little Colored boy was the best friend he ever had and told how they played store and ate together, and how he loved the boy and the boy loved him. But the father would not listen to the pleading of his little son and said: "If you come in that gate you leave that Negro on the outside." From that day on that little boy's heart was turned against his "best friend." Later, when the white boy had grown to man-hood and was in business, the Colored boy heard of it and called to see his playmate and shook his hand: Then he asked for a position —employment! The white man said: "My friend, I cannot use you. The reason is that all of my men are not a man and that none of them man, the Colored man thought he would tell him something he did not know and something a great many white people in the north have forgotten. He said: "I had three uncles who gave their lives to make this country a union that you and your men might enjoy; a union that will make you die. The man must turn away, the Colored man, my dear reader, their names are on the old grand army list in Washington, D. C., to-day—Charles, Patrick and John Lang. My white friend, the Negro has the right to enjoy the same things other Americans enjoy. We are not only friendly when we are little boys and girls but into man and womanhood. We are peace-makers. We made peace when we helped to make and save the union. We are friends to the people we love. We are not pleased with everything we smile at. Colored people are a friendly people, and a people that do forgive as God would like us all to, but we are "jim-crowd" all through the south and in some places in the North, not because we are unclean or cannot be trusted. The white people of the south always did trust us for home and body-guards for themselves and their children. You never heard of Colored people kidnapping children and when we heard of such things they will find that it is some one who has been through all of the avenues of life and are more than able to take care of themselves. And "ten to one", whites are the promoters of the one, when the Negro broke the chains of slavery and Mr. Lincoln declared him free, from that day he was shut outside the gate. Who is it that doesn't want to be free, and what race he is? It is not that he is a son that ever read the bible or ever heard it read, knows that God will not permit one man to own another, outside of his own children, and it does not matter what color your children are. If you are their father they are yours and there is a day coming when you and all of your friends will know your suns may be forgiven but your family will be pointed out to you just when you see them. Some slave-holders have gone so far as to sell their own children because their mother lived in the backyard. They will see them again some day. God cannot lie, and he would not lie for a thing of that kind. If this letter does not concern you, Mr. Reader, there will not be any hard feelings. There is a class of people in this Christian land who would love to lie down and die and know that it would be the last of them. But, my friend, the pleasure is not yours. Every man with a living soul is on a mission to die. You can do any more with controlling the flight of your soul than you can with stopping the sun from shining in China. Your sins will find you out. Do the good people, and the governors and the government of this United States know that when they are riding through the south in their palace cars, with plenty to eat and drink and a place to sleep, that their Colored brothers and sisters and sons of their blood whom they have sat in some place, are riding in a half of the carriage next to the engine that is a little better than a cattle car and not as good as a palace horse-car? And if we should go from Cincinnati to New Orleans we are compelled to eat a cold lunch all the way, not speaking of sleeping. And O, just think of what the mothers and the little babies have to suffer on a trip that is less than that. Are all of our white friends dead, isn't there one man in the Senate that will speak for a people that in congress that will speak for a spiked people? We are treated like this, and still we blow up no bridges, we wreck no trains, and even yet you can ride safely. There was a white hunter who went from Cleveland to the south to hunt, and when he returned he told me of his trip and what he saw on a train. He said that there were some white hunters that got on the train and went from the smoker to the "jim-crow" car where there were women and men and children in their half of the car, and tied their hunting dogs and came back to the smoker, laughing with glee. The white man that turned away sick at heart "Christian" nation that permits such treatment as this to be visited on women and their children, stinks in the nostrils of God. O! how the Colored women are praying for more women lie Mrs. Robert La Follette. Every woman needs protection along these lines because she is a woman, if for no other reason. Our women have have. They have lost their sons, husbands and fathers as others have. They all loved them just the same. My God! what can we do that our mother's protection the protection of the law of this nation? We earned the rights and privileges of this country when we helped to make and defend the old flag in the war of Independence; in the war of 1812 on Lake Erie and elsewhere; in the Mexican and Civil wars and in the Spanish-American war. To-day, the loyal Negro soldiers of the United States army are standing on the border of Mexico, wafting the sound of the bugle and the tap of the drum. They know no fear. We are loyal in war and in peace. If we will help protect you and your families against the riff-raff of other nations by taking the place in battle of your husbands, fathers and sons, why not suffered from every war as others protect our mothers, wives and daugh- G.

The man in the moon knows more about the moon than the man on the outside. And now, again, we are going to make a plea to the Federal Government, for it is on its books that every man is to have an equal show; and we will make a plea to the law-makers of each state, for they make laws that permit their wives, mothers and daughters to enjoy the parks and go to public places. And we hungry and a glass of water when thirsty. We appeal to the labor unions, because we helped to make these United States a union which they enjoy.
