St. Louis, Mo.—(ANP)—The 78th annual session of the A. M. E. Missouri conference closed last Sunday, after an eventful and disturbing week. Bishop A. J. Carey, prelate of the fifth episcopal district, presided and associated with him was Bishop W. H. Heard of Philadelphia and the first district.
The financial reports showed a substantial increase over 1926, attributed to the smooth unanimity which precluded between the ministers and the presiding bishop.
The serenity of the conference was disturbed, however, by the publishing in a local paper of a sensational story revolving around divorce charges preferred against Rev. Carl F. Flipper, pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church, by his wife, Mrs. Flipper. It developed that the divorce suit had been filed October 3, but news regarding it was suppressed until the conference convened.

When a surprise is a surprise, it is all the more enjoyable. Inadvertently, it leaked out that Prof. J. D. Ryan, principal JACK Yates High School, was having a birthday on Friday, 11 December, and 27 teachers and 160 students had a secret. Quietly small sums made large sums and secretly cognitively thoughts were remembered and learned. Mrs. Ryan was urged to be present in the secret and at 12 o'clock sharp everybody at Jack Yates assembled in the auditorium of the school.
Wendell Hayes of the L4 class went to the office of the principal and told Mrs. Ryan that he was confronted by a sea of eager faces who made the welkin ring with Mr. Ryan and confronted by the matter with Mr. Ryan and that everybody said so and everybody was impressed. Florence Kennedy, another member of the L4 class, in a winnowome congratulated the principal on his achievement, and presented him many more, and presented him a floral tribute, indicative of his three-foot pedestal basket, containing a dozen giant golden chrysanthemum flowers.
Nerver was there such a tremendous, humiliating demonstration of student arrogance that he was completely surprised, but, as he was completely surprised, and accepted the tribute, it tilted.

EDUCATIONAL NOTABLES ATTEND LINCOLN'S INAUGURAL PROGRAM; NEW PRESIDENT ASSUMES OFFICE
Lincoln University Pa. —(ANP)—A new era had its genes at Lincoln University, Thursday afternoon when Dr. William Hall (Hockson) was formally inaugurated as president. The annual educational exercises, which were held in Livingstone Hall, were attended by the largest array of educators proactively involved in the institution which ever gathered at the institution which more than seventy students attended. The education for Negro youth at Lincoln University was found in Dr. Johnson's inaugural address, in which he outlined the history of Lincoln University and the triumphs of the alumni and friends of the institution his program and plans for a greater Lin-
Demand For College Trained Men
Dr. Johnson, who has been a member of the university faculty for more than a score of years, pointed out that the need for a college education and women was increasing yearly and the desire for a college education was increasing desire on the part of Negro youth is reflected in the fact, as the doctor said: "Twenty-five years ago this in the past we found students for the college. Now we are forced to turn students away from the lack of sufficient facilities." This condition, however, will not continue to obtain, if the plan for the college is not met. This program, as set forth by Dr. Johnson, includes increased dormitory facilities and equipment to meet the demand.
Lincoln's Ambition Made Known
According to Dr. Johnson, "The ambition of Lincoln University is to send out men who will be known in the world who have been schooled in a scientific manner, who have in their hands the power to value of scholarship in its service to society; who revere the great spirit of learning from the past lessons for the present; who have obtained the clarity of understanding untroubled gaze home to the instant need of things; who are cultivated in the arts; and with a general outlook upon life and with a will disciplined in softmanics so as to be able to master the arts." We would like to turn out scholars from Lincoln University, but scholars from other universities.

"I wish to announce to my many friends that I am now with the Victory Wilson Clothiers at 508 Main Street, (up-stairs).
"You will find suits down-stairs priced from $5 to $15 higher than Victory Wilson prices.
"If you are not in a position to pay cash for your Suit or Overcoat, a small deposit will hold for you and at the same time give you the benefit of the cash prices.
"Quit paying some one's bills and pay cash for your clothes and wear the difference, which will buy you a new hat and a pair of shoes.
"It will be a pleasure for me to show you the greatest clothes values in Houston. Come on up and see me!"

a lecture that was full of logic, common sense and practical advice to all
who sat under the sound of his voice, and were told two highways beautifully
outlined, namely, the theory that "all
success means nothing these days." He
called attention to the fact that team-
work is important in an area where

Bishop Launches Extension School In Louisiana City
Bishop Launches Extension School In Louisiana City
(By Johnnie Mae Watkins, Reporter)
Marshall, Texas. — The Extension School in Shreveport, La., is progressing splendidly. Prof. Edward Harris, chemistry teacher of Hallowell College and Prof. Montgomery, principal of the college, are members of the faculty. The students are doing excellent work and will be of great credit to our school. The purpose of this institution is to benefit those who are not fortunate enough to attend college. The body is eager looking forward to the Halloween social night, sponsored by the school, and the fact that Bishop will be in Shreveport batting with the Southern University champions, Friday night instead of Monday night. The Y. M. C. A. is putting forth strenuous efforts to develop a Christian campus. At the regular meeting Sunday a splendid talk was given by D. Smith, a member of sophomore college.

FISK BULLDOGS AND ATLANTA IN SCORELESS GAME
Atlanta, Ga.—(By The Associated Negro Press) A·analaring, ferocious and determined bulldog refused to be swept away by a lashing crimson hurricane here Saturday afternoon at the Atlanta University scoreboard at the Atlanta University athletic field read: Fisk, 0; Atlanta University, 0.
The Fisk bulldog entered the game with the odds againt them. Advance the ball, and the Bulldogs score that the Bulldogs, concludes by Tubby Johnson, could not stand the onslaught. The Bulldogs, backs, and that the Bulldogs' light could not penetrate the big forward on the ball, and the predictions proved to be erroneous.
The Fiktites stopped the speedy Crimson backs and the bulldogs punched the Crimson defense. In fact, the boys from Nashville appeared to be superior in the game, and the bulldogs well did they crash the A. U. line that on two occasions the Crimson goal line, in both instances the line asserted its vaulted power and saved the Crimson Hurricane from
While there were several outstanding stars on both teams, to Yost goose the former of the game. It was Yost who slashed through the Crimson tackles for much yardage. It was Yost who scored the first pass, and it was this same Yost, who by punts, averaging 45 yards, drove Crimson hurricane out of the goal line. Georgeans had threatened to score.
The game was hard fought from beginning to end and was replete with the same mistakes, so for fans that witnessed the battle.

TALKING ABOUT THE INFORMER
JIM-CROW TEXAS AND PYTHIANS By William N. Jones
The Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American:
You may not be interested in the personal interests of the big mogula of Pythiandom, but you will get some food for thought out of the no-quarter Texas editor of the Houston Informer and Pythian Supreme Chancellor S. Dixon, who wrote the supreme grand lodge to jim crow Dick. F. Richardson, whose courage and straight-shouldered criticisms of the wrong wronger occasioned him to renewer with death, flings the inference that the supreme chancellor kept the 1927 law that he supreme chancellor has saved his job and not because of fear of jim crow and discrimination. F. Richardson has replied to the supreme chancellor in which he candidly says that for 45 years the biennial session has refused to meet his meeting in its meeting to the far South. Strangely enough the Pythian order jurisdictions being Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, and other far north states in Mississippi, but it has never carried its biennial meeting to the state of Vardaman. F. Richardson strategy is to fight jim crow on jim crow's soil, while green fawls establish a settlement.
Pound the enemy, says the editor, with your big grun of organized power, and you can make what is a little personal danger to a group when fundamental issues and rights are at stake? The next biennial session goes to Indianapolis, the state of Ku Klux Republican and of growth. Take your choice between the philosophy of Editor Richardson and of ideas are worth thinking about.
GO SOUTH, YOUNG MAN!
The Kansas City (Mo.) Call:
That's the advice offered editorially by the Tattler, of New York City, the author of *The New York Times*. Houston Informer, in a "plain talk" editorial, discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the South, and takes a look at the role of Richardson can, at the opinions of Northerners and Easterners regarding the South. Whether you believe the South is the place to go or a good place to get married, you can learn two thought-provoking editorials from two widely separated sections of the country. Turn to the editor's page, listened to, read.
Nine years ago a very prominent Houstonian, standing on the corner of Milan and Houston, for a friend made a mistake in attempting an eight-page journal in Houston at time he is: he distinguished gentleman, know what he was talking about I will leave for he decide—after you have gone to Houston, he asked Houston, and asked for Meersa Richardson and Webster, bosses of the finest printing plant in the South. Richardson said, "First the acorn, then the oak."
THE MIRROR

not be able to attend the annual bankers' meeting in "Heavenly Houston." This news not only disappointed the son, but also disappointed several Houstonians; for the Houston Negro Business League had planned a smoker for the Philadelphia banker, and had planned a ruit week of envelopes to make bad matters worse. Dr. Wright, the son, arrived in the city for morning and evening meetings, and thus later the sire nor the son was able to accept the genuine type of Southern business, and are accustomed according to the sire. Visiting Texas for the first time in 10 years, the junior Wright observed many changes and remarked that he was not a slave. The reception he had received at other points proved to him that racial relations have improved considerably in this city. In this connection, Editor Wright commisses to write an article in a sub-specialty dealing with and discussing the Lone Star State commonwealth, as Bishop Wright, Editor Wright, or plain Rev. Wright.

Amos, a shepherd and tradesman (Amman 7.14, 15) was called to prophey for God. He was neither in the church nor trained in the prophetic schools.
1. The Sine of Judah (2.4, 5).
In the first part of the book men were called to surround nations. The aim, doubtless, was to show that there is no escape from God's judgment. The nation or审判 will be judged (Num. 32, 23).
1. They despised the law of the Lord.
To despise means to spurn, to disregard. To despise God law is a law of the Lord. A slave raped from judgment for such as do his (Hos. 10, 28, 2).
2. Failed to keep the Lord's command. The disobedience logically follows the despairing of God's law. It not only robs of blessings in this life, but rests on eternal destruction (II. Thess. 1, 3).
3. Lies caused them to err (v. 4).
Because they despised God law, they robs and conduct are inseparable. Thinking wrong precedes doing wrong.
This was literally fulfilled a century and a half later in the capture of Jerusalem by the Chadians (2 (2-8).
The message of the prophet now comes directly to the northern kingdom.
2. "Sold the righteous for silver" (v. 3)
The judge, for a bribe of silver, desired the惩罚 to be guilty.
2. "Sold the poor for a pair of shoes" (v. 6)
The judge to the practice of selling into slavery the debtor who could not pay for a pair of shoes which had been sold on him at time.
2. "Sold the poor on the earth on the beds of the poor" (v. 30)
The word "pent" means to easily feel. So availble had these men to sell their shoes on the earth which the down-roofed poor upon their heads in mourning because of their misery.
2. "Sold inside the way of the week" (v. 7)
These grapping rich men turned into slaves and would not stand up for their rights.
3. Licitousness (v. 7)
No solemnous but humiliated persons were even guilty of incestuous prostitution. This was not merely the case of falling into serious sin, but was indulged in with the God-provoking His holy name.
They not only frequented the place of Idalous worship, but lay down on the ground in the garden. Frank wine bought with money exported from the poet in injustice last year (p. 12). His manifold biossay and Hilar goodness are now presented in contrast with the base practice of the session, in order to heighten the pleasure of the audience.
2. Delivered from cruel bondage (v. 2).
God set them free from the crust slavery of the Egyptians. Every remeigned one has been free from a more cruel bondage than that of the Egyptians (John 8:34-30).
3. Led them for forty years in the wilderness. The wilderness wandering is a wonderful story, showing the tender and mitinal leading of God.
God not only bestowed great honor upon them in this, but favored them in raising up prophets from among the Egyptians. God also and guilt are here shown in that they not only turned the prophets from among the Egyptians but gave them to drive

Faith never refers to self, but always to the Word of God. There are three ways to believe: to believe before they have believed the truth, and to feel that they are believed the truth.

HOLSEY WARNS NEGRO BUSINESS THAT ACID TEST IS STILL AHEAD; NARRATES MANY DIFFICULTIES
New York City—One of the clearest and most illuminating examples of the growth of the NEGro business in the United States is contained in an article entitled, "NEGro business in the United States Still Ahead!" by Albon L. Hosley, secretary of the National NEGro Business League which appears in the book "NEGro Business: A Negro monthly magazine published in the City of New York by Hosley's article, one of many in Hosley's article, is doubly interesting because of his position and his thorny question of the entire field of NEGro business. That is he keenly aware of the difficulties facing the growth of NEGro business, and is dimly diminishing because of white labor unions, chain hotels and the anti-NEGro sentiment." The encounter stiff resistance than any other group for the reason that rapid growth of NEGro business in the entire retail field have more directly affected them." The NEGro manufacturing concern is excessive and too costly." The NEGro business or retail grocery does not rate in training with the man-power in our insurance companies or even in our own business.

The Negro retailer has to overcome the normal consumer's resistance, and in addition must face the resistance of his own proxies.
Mr. Holsey contends that the real target for Negro business is in the retail field. He argues that the retail field enter this field the race must divert some of its better trained men and women into the retail field of the surplus capital of Negro banks, insurance companies and fraternal organizations.
He concludes with the warning that until our business has reached the point that it controls fifty per cent of the retail sector for life's necessities, "we can hardly claim without some reservations, that the Negro has 'made the grade' in
DEMANDS COLORED
JURORS FOR TRIAL
New Orleans LA—(ANP)—For the first time, perhaps, in a hundred years, a Negro charged with defending a Negro charged with derand, demanded that Negroes be included in the list of prospective jurors. The demand to serve on jurors in Louisiana was made by a hany. His client is Arthur Russell, who is alleged to have murdered Peter Fazzio, a 67-year-old watchman from New Orleans. Judge A. D. Henriques before whom the motion was filed defended a ruling on the matter and continued the case.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1927
ARE NEGRO PREACHERS IN A RUT?
The recent article by H. L. Menenck, white author and editor, criticising the Negro h. l. ministry, has caused much favorable and unfavorable discussion among our group throughout America, and, though the article in question appeared several months before the country divided into two schools of thought on the subject.
While admitting that some of our ministerial brethren do not come up to expectations and requirements, either intellectually, spiritually, morally or otherwise, and, while admitting that the ministers of our race have done much, either through acts of violence or through the use of ignorance and abject poverty, (preaching much about celestial things and teaching little or nothing about terrestrial things) the fact remains that the Negro preachers have rendered a distinct and signal service to both their racial contingent and the abreast with their constituents; and, in many instances, we discover that the congregation is head and shoulders above its pastor in many respects.
Apparently, too many of our ministers have gotten into a rut; improve their situation and unconcerned about studying and improving their status; and, in many instances, give their members a true and proper conception of their duty and responsibility to their fellowman, as well as to God.
However, this getting into a rut seems to be a racial characteristic not merely confined to ministers; but it is more marked in this field, due to the fact, chiefly, that very few young men of color are ministerial leaders in the country, and thus competition is not as keen as in professional lines.
Each year sees a large number of young people graduating from the professional institutions of learning throughout the country, and when they embark into their chosen fields of human endeavor it means that those already engaged in said professions are now entering the workforce and are ground to the more intelligent and better prepared young people. There is a death of ministerial timber, and our ministers, with a few notable exceptions, do not encourage young men to dedicate and consecrate themselves to the ministry—the highest, greatest and noblest of earthly calling. They colored physicians, dentists, pharmacists, lawyers, teachers, editors and business men and women encouraging young people to prepare themselves for such vocations, and lending all possible assistance to these young people in their quest for knowledge and training along these special lines. We find that too many of our ministers are really lazy and indulgent in their own pursuits, and do not prepare their sermons; but will weekly enter the pulpit and attempt to feed their flock on ill-prepared spiritual meals; resulting in either spiritual indignation on the part of the members, or spiritual malnutrition. No child can grow into a robust and healthy youngster who is not properly fed, and an under-fed and under-privileged child who is not made a premature death or go through life seriously handicapped. The Great Teacher knew that his followers must be fed on the sincere milk of the word, and recognizing that fact, he counseled Peter to "feed my lambs" and "feed my sheep". Are our coloured shepherds feeding their stocks with a species of livestock that are more intelligent and assure their healthy growth and spiritual development?
Will the same brand of food or the same manner in which it was prepared and served by our shepherds to their flocks immediately after the enancipation of the Negro, satisfy the spiritual needs of the people? Should our ministers preach all the time about heaven and the hereafter, or should they teach some about earthly things and the herenow? Or may they be said to the contrary about Negro preachers (and this may seem like a paradoxical statement), it must be admitted that they have also done their race and society an incalculable and immeasurable amount of good; and, even with their human imperfections and shortcomings, the Negro ministers still wield more power and exert more influence upon the race than they do. Since this is evidently true, it behoves those who essay to serve God and man from the "burning altar" to prepare themselves so as to fully measure up to their heavy responsibilities, and to live and conduct their ministerial lives so that men will see the importance of their service. Reduced to its lowest common denominator, Christianity is best exemplified in deeds rather than in discourses, in performances rather than in prayers, in unselfish service to humanity rather than in secrecy to thundered down the earth. Reduced to this heinous little lesson: "He that would be greatest among you, let you be servant of all."
NEGRO ODD FELLOWS AND PRINTERS!
The Informer has observed that—in launching its member ship drive, the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of Texas of which Prof. G. W. J. Wacken of Corissiana, Texas, is grand master—the small placards which have recently been posted in Hous
America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper
ton advertising the campaign for women, were not printed in a printing office operated and owned by members of that order or of the Negro race.
When the grand lodge convened in Houston in August 1925, the late Grand Master H. G. Gore's recommendation was unanimously adopted, pledging and committing the grand lodge officers to have all printed matter of the order done in Negro printing offices; but, judging from some of the printed annual reports of the grand lodge, Samuel A. Sanders had placards now being employed in the fall membership drive, it appears that some of the grand lodge officers are not only failing to practice what they preach, but they are ignoring the unanimous will of the grand body as expressed in a vote at the 1925 grand session.
If there were no printing offices operated by members of the order or race; or if these colored print shops could not produce the class and calibre of work desired by these grand lodge officers, then they might be pardoned for taking colored people's money and spending it in such a manner with printing establishments owned and operated by other races—shops where Negroes serve in annual capacities, and in some instances, where the "brother" is not employed at all.
WITH SEVERAL FIRST-CLASS, MODERN PRINTING PLANTS IN TEXAS OWNED AND OPERATED NOT ONLY BY MEMBERS OF THE NEGRO RACE, BUT BY NEGRO ODD FELLOWS, THE INFOMER IS UNABLE TO COMPREHEND ODD FELLOWS, THE INFOMER WOULD REFUSE TO EVEN GIVE THESE RACE PRINTERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BID ON THE JOB WORK.
Is Race I
(BY KELLY)
This release is from an article in the contribution, contributed by Sociology.
Is race prejudice parallel, which cannot be by any means at all, in the merely by chance in annual capacities, and in some instances, where the "brother" is not employed at all.
WITH SEVERAL FIRST-CLASS, MODERN PRINTING PLANTS IN TEXAS OWNED AND OPERATED NOT ONLY BY MEMBERS OF THE NEGRO RACE, BUT BY NEGRO ODD FELLOWS, THE INFOMER IS UNABLE TO COMPREHEND ODD FELLOWS, THE INFOMER WOULD REFUSE TO EVEN GIVE THESE RACE PRINTERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BID ON THE JOB WORK.
IN THIS CONNECTION IT SEEMS PECULIARLY STRANGE
THAT NEGRO WOODPAPERMEN, PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS ARE ALWAYS URGED TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL GRAND LODGE OF THE TEXAS ODD FELLOWS AND TO PUBLISH THEM. We want them to CARRY LENGTH NEWS STORIES IN THEIR PUBLISHERS ABOUT THE "DOINGS" OF THE GRAND SESSION, AND THEN WHEN SOME LITTLE PRINTING JOB IS TO BE DONE, SOME OF THE GRAND OFFICERS WILL COMPLETELY IGNORE THESE SELFSAFE NEGRO PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS—WHO ARE STRONG SUPPORTERS OF THE NEGRO PRINTERS. We want THEIR JOB WORK TO MEN WHO ARE NEITHER IDENTIFIED WITH THE ORDER NOR MEMBERS OF OUR RACIAL CONTINGENT.
It is rather funny how some of our race leaders, in trying to sell their proposition to the Negro race, will seek to capitalize "race pride" and sell their proposition largely on the grounds of color; and then when it comes to practicing what they preach and what they broadcast to the world, these same leaders will publish their work. The Holy Writ asserts that "he who provideth not for his own household is worse than an infidel, and hath denied the faith." If this be true from a domestic standpoint, is it any less true from a religious, fraternal and economic standpoint?
The Informer has no particular fuss to raise with any of the grand lodge officers of the Fellows in this state, but this paper is unalterably opposed to their program of using Negro publishers and printers to boost their order and its directing heads, and then when they have some job printing to be done, that give such work to these same Negro printers and publishers.
If the principles of this order and fraternity mean anything at all; if they are not as "sounding brass and tinkling cymbals," then no "hearty" Odd Fellow would dare pursue such a policy and practice such a doctrine so diametrically at variance with the principles, tenets and shilboeths of this "grand, old order."
This is no selfish contention on the part of The Informer; for if these grand lodge officers are of the opinion that our printing department can not do the work properly and meet competition, both as to character of work and prices, they should bear in mind that there are other Negro printing plants in Texas—fully equipped and prepared to do practically all the job printing of the Texas Negro Fellows of color, but of all the Negro orders in Texas combined.
Gentlemen, permit the Informer to suggest that you obey the mandate of the 1925 grand lodge, and thereby give the Negro publishers and printers (most of whom are Odd Fellows, and who have invested large sums of money to equip and operate modern printing plants) at least a chance to bid on your job printing. As a matter of fact, no such resolution should be necessary in a purely Negro organization, which depends wholly and solely upon the Negro race for all its support, strength and success; and, The Informer hopes that the grand lodge officers, who are responsible for this policy, will see to it that their policy will be implemented, and prove detrimental both to them, the order and the race, will no longer be pursued, practiced, sanctioned or condoned by them.
"DARKY MELODIES:" "DARKY SINGERS!"
In an attempt either to be facetious, funny or familiar, two of our daily white newspapers, in referring to the musical program rendered by a chorus from Prairie View State College at the City University of New York, to the American Banker Association, employed the word, "darky", which is very distasteful to every self-respecting and race-loving Negro man, woman and child.
The Negro does not relish the idea nor admire the practice of being called "darky" and "nigger" any more than the white man does. The Negro does not respect the writer etc.; and it was not necessary for the writers on these two Houston daily newspapers to refer, either to the music or singers, as "darky melodies" sung as only the "Southern darky" can sing them.
fact, they are not "darky melodies", but Negro spirituals, jubilees and folk songs—the only typical American music of any noteworthy character, consequence and charm; and, while these songs are sung for the entertainment, enlightenment and edification of white auditors, they are not sung with the idea that the white newspapers will sneeringly and opprobriously allude to the music as "darky melodies" and to the race singers as "darky singers".
Just such newspaper jibes and thrusts as the ones which appeared in these two Houston newspapers—one a morning publication and the other an afternoon publication—account, in a way that the two newspapers are part of so many Negroes to sing these songs to white audiences.
the white daily newspapers of Houston are to refer to these songs as "the darky melodies," and if the intelligent young members of the race (such as composed the large chorus from *Fragrant* and *Dear Dear* college) are to be referred to as "darky singers," it were better to refer to the principal and musical directress of the school refuse to consider any further engagements of this nature in Houston.
Just why these two white newspaper editors should wait until the city was filled with distinguished visitors from all sections of the country, at the annual meeting of the financial leaders of America, to insult the entire colored race, rather puzzles us; unintentionally, they insult the entire colored race; they still regard the Negro in Houston as a "thing" (something to be played with or to have fun with) and not a human being. It was certainly an unkindly cut and a blow administered the race and community below the belt; and no intelligent and decorated person could be more interested in visiting those not addressed as "darkies," "niggers," etc., will use such insulting language either in his speeches or writings.

There is no discoverable aversion to the closest personal contact and personal association and assumption of races, but rather to social familiarity and assumption of equality between the mistress and the maid, experience the closest touch and contact without fear of feeling of aversion or antipathy, so long as the traditional social relations of the master drive the master to the depot, riding side by side and chew to jaw, raising an outey if made a joint occupation. The master complacent companion of the auto or the burgey ride. The Negro maid may ride in the Fullman car, but not as a lady paying her own fare. All these absurdities and nature of race prejudice.

5. Race prejudice is exhibited in varying degrees of intensity by differing societies, and seems to be stronger in the Nordic countries in the American continent. It is assertive in Germany. It is France. The Mahadomen show leaes of it to the Christian; the Catholics to the American Protestant introduced it to the Catholic and Porto to the American policy. It is all but unknown in Brazil. The observed difference in attitudes between Richmond, Virginia, can hardly be accounted for on the basis of in-

Fortunately, as it seems to me, a rule of thumb is that the unified and untested facts in the case, according to the normal rules of arguing, are more assuring, and concluding conclusions.
6. The biologists tell us that natural antipathy hardly exists among varieties of the same species. The yellow people of the earth are but varieties of the human species. Abundant people of the earth may interfere with facility which they intertwined. If the observed attitudes of the German towards the Japanese or the French must be explained on the ground of innate aversion, then how shall we account for the emotional cause of the Gaul, the Saxon and the Celt?
1. Race prejudice is mainly a one-sided passion, and does not work with prejudice and discrimination. The antipathy of the black towards the white is not alleged and is not born out by the facts of observation. It is not born out to the inferior, and not counterbalance. If the apparent aversion were reciprocate like that between cut and uncut, it would be all but conclusive. On the other hand, it is often asserted that race prejudice is a negative property that race prejudice is an antinative antithetic. The inferior always pays homage to the superpower, and that race prejudice is higher station in our social scheme; the Negro desires to be like him for the advantage which such likeness represents. The inferior always would doubtless be a reverent of racial attitudes which crevice wealth, coarseness would acquire culture, impirience strives to increase in power. There is never a difference in the quality of race prejudice indicates strongly that it is of the nature of other acquired prejudices and is not counterbalanced.
7. Interbreeding is the acid test of natural antipathy, the race of human beings who will be no cross progeny on the face of the globe. The mutual willingness and frequency with which the men in the world have embraced ethnic diversity interbreeding proves their essential physical and emotional and cultural existence. The coerced instance where human beings have been brought into contact where they have refused to cross-breed. The coerced instance where other men have leaped antipathy. The composite progeny in all parts of the world where they have refused to cross-breed. The coerced instance where other men have leaped this point unnecessary. Two million mitations in the United States ought to have been missed in this point. It has not yet been shown that diversity of race weakens the emotional excitation or diminishes fe

8. Marriage is a social institution established for the purpose of marriage between sexes according to approved standards. It is a purely voluntary agreement into which both parties agree to form a loving heart. It presupposes physical harmony and emotional accord. Here we have a man relationship. If there were such a thing as natural racial antipathy, intermarriage between the races would be impossible.
Our hopes, Gus, is in our chillins, an I sho wanter peat it ingr, we gatter stop dodgin de byin vu chilln, an I sho wanter peat it ingr, on us we gotter, goat en, rie rn
And yet cross-marriages are so illicit in the community with fixed social ties that not leave the matter to individual preference and predilection. Unimmunized people in such races would prefer to marry in such races if they were not forbidden to do so. There is an of public opinion and the restraint on such cases. public cisterns state laws forbidding intermarriage between whites and Monaco black, if natural antipathy could be relied upon to uphold the prevailing laws forbidding unions prows public nine states of the Union have enacted laws forbidding cross-marriages as a distinctive racial antipathy. When men meet the laws of nature or of the cistern upon their professed belief in the existence or the validity of the cistern upon their professed public opinion. We are told that a law French wives during the World War. Citation of the facts of intermarriage is not advocacy of it. Whether it is necessary, or not, must be determined on the basis of reason apart from that adduced that individuals, in numbers, persist in preferring to marry across the cistern upon public opinion, an answer to the question "Is Race Preferable Inmate
