TAKES ELAINE RIOTERS' PARDON PETITIONS UNDER ADVISEMENT LITTLE ROCK, ARK. Dec. 31—After a hopping in the Governor's office Wednesday afternoon, Governor McRae took under advisement the petition asking pardon for the six remaining Elaine Negro rioters confined at the Cummins state convict farm. They are under 12-year sentences. They are Frank Moore, Edward Hicks, J. E. Knox, Frank Hicks, Paul Hall, and Edward Coleman. They were originally sentenced to death, but their sentences were commuted to imprisonment by the governor last Christmas. It is said that Governor McRae will act upon the petitions after his return from Prescott, where he went to spend the holidays. The cases of these men will recall that in 1918 considerable trouble was experienced in Elaine, during the serious race clashes there when the Negroes refused to accept the usual timidation by whites who seek to terrorize any Negro community. Negroes in all parts of the country felt considerable admiration for those men who were brave enough to fight back when attacked by the white mobbists. It is claimed that these Negroes even went further than defending themselves but transgressed into the aggressors in the general mleece in the community and even aped their white lion which resulted in their being lingered in prison as slotters.

At first Negroes from all parts of the country raised a loud protest against the plan, terming it a "Jim Crow" movement; then various --- RECORD OF AMERICA'S DISGRACES Special to T. Negro Star: I send youth following concerning lynchings for the past year as com- mily Tuqvee Institute in the Depart- ment of Records and Research. I find there were 16 persons lynched in 1921. This is the smallest num- ber lynched in any year since records of young men have been left, and is 14 less than the number 57 for the year 1921. 14 less than the number 57 for the year 1922. 9 of the persons who were taken from the hands of the law 6 from jail and 3 from offices of the law outside of jails. There were 45 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings 2 women, 1 white and 1 color, were among those that saved. 8 of these preventions of lynchings were in Northern states and 37 in Southern states. In 16 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In 9 other instances, armed force was used to repel the would be lynchers. In 4 instances during the year persons charged with being connected with lynching mobs were indicted. These were given jail sentences. Of the 16 persons lynchol all were Negroes. 7 or less than one-half of those put to death were charged with rape or attempted rape. The offenses charged were: Murder, 1; Repa, 5; attenuated rape, 2; killing officer of the law, 2; insulting woman, 1; attacking woman, 1; killing man in altercation, 1; wounding man, 1.

HOWARD YOUTH, STABBED, IN CRITICAL CONDITION (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan I., Clifford O. Smith, 21, of Hartford, Conn., stabbed in the lung Friday night in freshman sophomore rides following an interclars debate at Howard University, last Thursday night was said to be in a critical condition in Freedland's hospital. The outer covering of his lung was punctured. Smith was a graduate of Hampton in the class of 1923. He a prominent candidate for quarterback for n at season's team at Howard. Walter Miles, sophomore in the college department, is being held at the Eighth precinct station. He is said to be responsible for Smith's condition. According to custom, a rash is in order after the annual freshmen-sophomore debate. The debate, to decide the resolution, "That the Negro Should Form an Independent Political Organization" led to a warmer clash than usual between the sophomore adherents of the "regulars" and the freshmen, who would initiate the 'renegades." The freshmen, having won the debate, the sophomores' attempt to settle the question by a demonstration of physical superiority, resulted in the stabbing. white organizations complained about the nearness of the beach to a similar one for whites; and now the matter has been taken up by the various clubs of Idle-rich women (white) in Washington. Mrs. John H. Sherman, president of the Federation of Women's Clubs, (white) has written to Secretary Weeks, denouncing the pion in scath- (Continued on page four) 'DISGRACEFULNESS OF RACE PREJUDICE" We, the Committee, appointed to draft a resolution on the Disgracefulners of Race Prejudice, submit our report as follows: Race prejudice is not only disgraceful, but it is a so ignorant, inconsistent and daringly sinful, carrying in its embrace unrelentingly its own doom. The Committee gave much concern to the objective case of Leonard Nip Phinland r (white) who married Alice Beatrice Jones, October 14th, 1924, both residents of New Rochelle, N. Y., U. S. A, the land of the free. According to reports of Chicago Daily Tritune, there was, because of this marriage much excitement in high society among whites. It is charged that Alice Jones who wedded Rhinelander, an heir to a hundred million dollars, has Negro blood in her and a sut was filed to annul the marriage upon the grounds that he (Young Rhinelander) was fooled into the marriage believing the girl, (Alice Jones) to be purely white. Whether Alice and Leonard and the Rhinclander family for that matter, understood each other or not, we pass up. Such thing as this brought before the public because the girl is said to be colored and on that account she would be put away, is not only an insult to every American Children with one drop of Negro blood in his veins, but is AN OUTRAGE ON GOD'S ORDINANCE OF HOLY MATRIMONY, and a shap in the face of Pollace it with its Laws for it is the Divine Logos that declares "WHAT GOD HATH JOINED TOGETHER LET NOT MAN PUT ASUNDER." Matthew 19.6, and Mark 10.4. What, if one were a full blooded Negro and the other as white as snow-flakes? They are both human and American Citizens. The treachorous ignorance of race discrimination and segregation are vicious VIERS and sharpened SWORDS that will in time play the BEARER. The Negro is here and a part of this great commonwealth (our country) He is a real sure-enough true American: If he is styled as being only the IOOT, he is a part of the body and a man to destroy his feet is a fool, because there will assuredly come a time when he will need his feet. The very word of God that the white man in this country taught the Negro, declares, 'IN EVERY KINGDOM DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF IS BROUGHT TO DESOLATION.' Mattev the v 12:25. Such racial prejudice exhibited is a shameful reproach upon our great Nation, a tip of our weakness and short comings to other Civilized Republics. It is Governmental Tracson and National Suicide, to the land of the face. We close with this Resolution: "A SURE DELIVERANCE FOR THE NEGEO" WEREAS, Some of our own Countrymen have their pay hology twisted and think by some means that they are better than the Negro; And, WHEREAS, it is not the Negro's choice to be thus discriminated against, dividing and bringing wooful vengeance upon our great Nation, notwithstanding, it is being done; And, WHEREAS, the race hasn't wealth and other necessaries to fight its battles, but have souls like anybody else; Therefore, be it. RESOLVED. That we cry unto God out of the depth of our souls, send up many servant prayers. But it fairly up to God, that He act in keeping with His word and smash into oblivion, the folly of racial hatred, discrimination and oppression. The time has fully elapsed that this kind of nonsense must be wiped out of existence. God would frown upon us and disdain us as Children of His Handwork, if we fail to resent such black insults; and persistently cry unto Him for deliverance from such preposterous evil; Do it further. Five Cents Per Copy COOLIDGE RE- QUESTS PROTEC TION FOR NEGE SPEAKS IN MESSAGE ESPECIALLY FOR PROTECTION AGAINST T LYNCHING President Calvin Coolidge, in his message to Congress, asked for full constitutional rights for the colored people of America and for protection for them. He asked particularly that they be protected from being lynched. The portion of the message relating to the Negro is as follows: These developments have brought about a very remarkable improvement in the condition of the Negro race. Gradually, but surely, with the most universal sympathy of those among whom they live, the colored people are working out their own destiny. I firmly believe that it is better for all concerned that they should be carefully accorded their rights, that they should be protected from all of those impositions to which from their positions, they naturally fall a prey, especially from the crime of lynching, and that they should receive every encouragement to become full partakers in all the blessings of our common American citizenship.

Overwhelm the Throne of our God with soulful prayers. Block up every passage in Heaven. Put on a blockade in Shechinah land with your prayers, that the Angels cannot cress nor ingress until God looks down with an eye of justice and break in pieces and cast into an everlasting abolishment this malignant racial prejudice, even though it costs a more supreme sacrifice than has ever been made in defense of human rights.

RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS OF THE CITY Page Two SundaySchool Lesson (By REV B PITZWATER, D.D., Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (C, 1981, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for January 4 CHRISTS TRIUMPHAL ENTRY LESSON TEXT—Luke 19 29-44. GOLDEN TEXT—"Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord."—Luke 19 38 FRIMARY TOPIC—A Great Crowd Praising Jesus JUNIOR TOPIC — The Triumphal Entry. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Making Christ Our King YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Kingship of Christ. The title given this lesson is somewhat misleading. Strictly speaking, this was far from a triumphal entry. It was rather the official presentation of the King of the Jewish nation Back of the cry, "hosanna," the awful word, "crucify" was uttered by the same persons who cried "hosanna." Though they were utterly blind to the fact, God was about to carry out his plan of hosanna, which means "save now," through the crucifixion of the Son of God. 1. The Presentation (vv. 20-34). 2. Sending the Disciples for the Ass (vv. 20-31). He told them just where to go to find it and told them how to answer the inquiry of the one who owned it. This shows how perfectly the Lord knows all our ways. He knows our whereabouts by day and night. He even knows our thoughts. He uses unlikely means and insignificant things in the accomplishment of His purpose. 2. The Fulfillment of Prophecy (Matt. 21:4, 5). Some five hundred years before Zechariah had predicted this event. Christ's entry into Jerusalem was an exact fulfillment of this prediction. This is highly instructive to those who would understand the prophecies as yet unfulfilled. Since the prediction of his first coming was literally fulfilled, we can be assured that the prophecy of his second coming will be likewise fulfilled. The first is established beyond a doubt. The second we should as heartily believe. The prediction of Zechariah 14:3-11 will be just as literally fulfilled as that of Zechariah 0.0. 3. Obedience of the Disciples (vv. 32-31). Though the request may have seemed strange, and even unreasonable, they fully obeyed. The true discipline will render glad obedience to the Lord no matter how strange His commands may seem. Obedience to that only which seems reasonable is not obedience at all. May we prove that we are real disciples! 11. The Entry of the King (vv. 35-38). 1. The Disciples Set Jesus Upon the Ass (v. 31). This act of putting their garments upon the ass and setting Jesus upon it showed that they recognized Him as their King (II Kings 9:13). 2. Acclaimed as King by the Disciples (vv. 86-88). Some spread their garments in the way. Others, perhaps having no garments to spare, cut down branches of trees and strewed them in His way, which was no doubt just as acceptable to Him. They praised God for all the mighty works which they had seen and cried out, "Blessed is the King that cometh in the name of the Lord." III. The Critical Pharisees (vv. 89, 40). Although swept along by the demonstration of the multitude they deemed it prudent to ask the Lord to rebuke the disciples, as such behavior might be interpreted by the Roman government as an insurrection. To their demand Jesus replied that such honour was not only fitting but necessary. He declared that if the multitude were silent, the very stones would cry out in adoration of him. IV. The King Rejected (vv. 41-44) Christ knew what awaited Him in Jerusalem. Though surrounded by loyal hearts, He knew that the rulers of the nations had no heart for Him. His coming trial and death loomed before Him so that He wept over Jerusalem. He knew that awful days awaited it and that loyal hearts would gladly welcome Him if they only knew. He showed that their inability to see Him as their King and Sailor would result in bringing upon them the awful horrors of the destruction of their city. He entered the city and rebuked the rulers for allowing the house of God to become degraded by carrying on traffic for gain. The cleansing of the temple only increased their hatred and opposition to Him. Obey Obey the voice of God in the Book, the voice of God in your heart, the voice of God as He speaks through circumstances, and His servants obey. Echoes. The self-important are' of no importance in the sight of God.—The Living Word. Want of Self Reliance Discontent is the want of self-reliance—it is infirmity of will.—Christian Evangelist. Sometimes little thoughts are smothered to death beneath a lot of ponderous sentences.—American Evangelist. St. Paul Notes. The Spirit of the Christ-Cheer prevailed the services. The session of our Bible School was held at 9:45 a.m. The cold weather lessened to some extent attendance in the primary class however a good number were present in the other departments. At 11:00 a.m. our pastor, Rev. L. Pope selected for his text St. Luke 4:5: "Now when Jesus had left speaking, sald unto Simon launch out into the deep." The same message comes to us today. He spoke of the faith and love required to obey the commands of the Lord. To launch out is to go forward for the cause of Christianity, to make every needed sacrifice for the salvation of mankind. At evening 8:00 p. m., a special service was held; a rendition of the Cantata "Life Eternal" by the Junior Choir. The weekly dinner and the meetings of the Ladies' Aid Society will be postponed until after the holidays. The Allen Stars, A. C. E. League held their meeting at 6 p.m. St. Mary Baptist Notes. Rev. J. E. Douglass, Pastor Sunday School was well attended. General review by Rev. Williams of Pratt, was very interesting. Rev. Williams preached for us at the morning services. He selected for his text Jno. 14:27; subject, "Abiding Place." All enjoyed the message as was delivered by Rev. Williams. B. Y. P. U., at 5:30; lesson in the C. C. C., was very interesting. B. Y. P. U., proper at 6:30; Old Reliable won the banner. At the evening services, pastor preached; he selected his text from Gal. 3:11, theme: "Faith Grows Amid Storms" This was indeed a wonderful sermon. Our sick are: Sister Cherry, Sister Thompson, Sister Mayfield, Sister J. D. Wilson. S. S. Teachers met Monday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Vanwinkle, 1324 Wabash. The Home Mission Circle met at 1143 Cleveland; Sister Nesby's residence. Entertainment Thursday evening. Business meeting Friday night. The Xmas Tree and program was a very splendid affair Xmas Eve, Mrs. Vanwinkle, Mistress of Ceremony. Chanute, Kansas. Xmas Day was one of the most quiet in its history, here. Religious worship was the principal features of the day. Old Santa walked and many nice presents were presented to the pastors and their wives. Rev. Banks of the A. M. E. Church met a storm that blew in for him $1500 worth of groceries. Sunday was a very excellent day in service; our pastor Rev. Branch has just returned from Paola, Kansas, where he reports a wonderful soulsaving meeting. Rev. Branch will again sound the alarm in Iola, against sin beginning Monday after the first Lord's Day. The banquet given by the Masonic brothers of Chanute, was the greatest in the history; Mr. R. Johnson as is acknowledged to be one of the best Masters ever lifted a gavel, we commend him for his hospitality and his dignity of handling his program. He is destined to be one of America's best and he has a vision that's far-reaching. A feast was spread and more than a hundred and fifty dined sufficiently. Mrs. Minnie Noble was rated as one of the greatest ever came to Chanute, with her famous readings of Dunbar. Mr. and Mrs. Noble are visiting with their mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Hale. Little Opal Williams and Gladis Hopson were visitors in Cherryvale, with the Smith sisters during the holidays.

Being naturally born with an incurring mind and a full Missionary Spirit, I find myself at home in the Missionary Baptist Church, and a regular soul hunter and rescuer of the wandering sheep from the Master's fold; let it be on the mountain top or in the valleys "Where Jesus Leads we will follow." On last September I was caught up in the Spirit and set down in the Rocky Mountains, where I have been doing continuous Missinnary work, that's where it is most lamentably needed, and to say the least it has been quite phenominal in spiritual victories. The Rockles, as you have heard, with their majestic snow-capped, crowned and picturesque beauty, present an indescribible appearance that would make the most learned sage wonder whence their orgin, and when apprised of the geological fact that they were produced by the glacial period, Spirituality and the Book Divine tell us they are not only pre-historic and formed from immemorial, but the result of the creative power of the Almighty God. Once on the summit of these mighty mountain peaks we stand far above the clouds, and the smoke and dust of the world beow, catching a more beautiful and transparent vision of the astronomical heaven, even the sun, moon, stars and plants look larger and brighter, and one thinks of the words of the Psalmist: "When I consider the Heavens, the Sun, Moon and the Stars which thou has ordained, what is man that Thou art mindful of him, or the Son of Man that Thou visiteth him." Just so is every child of God, after being born of the Holy Spirit and baptised for the washing away of their sins, and 'should start at once for the Mount of Transfiguration" where the Christian life is more our high and bright than the world below; and where love and fellowship each for the other are more like Christ "The day for pure lives in Christian being, dealing and speaking is here and God's word says to us: 'If we walk in the light as He is in the light we have fellowship, one with the other, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son, cleaneth us from all sin.' In concluding these notes I will say a few words on my observations as relatives to the religious, civic, educational and material status of our Racial activities as viewed by an impartial eye. Denver is more than a metropolis, but a cosmopolitan city, where peoples of all nations mingle in the daily market. A city of more than 300,000 population with a Negro constituency of some 15,000. I met the combined Ministerial Association in this city and for Christian culture denominational lines had faded so the various religious schools were co-operating with the civic industrial and educational forces on the things that most y affect the people now. Here I preached in the leading churches and lighted no opportunity to keep before the people how Topeka, Kansas, is fast gaining prominence as the Negro's Athens of America, for industrial and theological schools are being built up there for religious and industrial efficiency, naming the following as being some of our greatest beacon lights to level us on to certain victory: Rev. Dr. J. H. Garnett, Dean of Theology, Prof. George R. Bridgeforth, Principal of our Industrial and Educational Institute, Rev. Dr. G. N. Jarlson of Lawrence, Editor H. T. Sims of The Negro Star, Dr. W. A. Bowren, President State Convention, Dr. W. H. Young, Rev. Dr. A. W. Ross, that peerless young pulpit giant; Rev. J. W. Hayes of Wichita, Rev. Dr. Matt, Jones, our unique scribe, last but not least that veteran preached, scholar and real Theologian, Rev. Dr. P. D. Skinner of Coffeyville, who so ably taught our classes at our Summer School as a substitute for Dr. Denton, while he was absent on account of illness. And our noble women, not a few, who as satelites to the great School of Religion and Education make Topeka, Kansas, alique spot on our map. We could include other worthy ones in this noble galaxy equally as great and efficient in the cause of the Master of we will speak later. I have not left Kansas in heart, but doing work under the same banner: One God, One Faith, and One Baptism, One Church, RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS OF KANSAS and One Ministry, Jesus Christ being the Chief Shepherd, and the Holy Ghost the Bishop of our souls. While in Denver I observed something that could and should be applied in every place if there are not but one dozen of "Father Hams" children living there; that is the power of unity and concentration of purpose, co-operation, success. Thanks he to God for once I saw all classes, professions, and industries of Negroes united upon a single purpose in Denver, the result—a new $110,000 building stands in a prominent part of the city, entitled "Y. M. C. A." one of the greatest blows ever made against the underworld, vice dens of immorality. The old caption, "Save the girls and the boys will be saved" is changed to "Save the boys and the girls will be saved." Prominent among the leading spirits of Denver, in the erection of the Young Men's Christian Association, are Rev. Dr. Allen and Prnf. Bell. This Y. M. C. A., will challenge the nation for one superior to it. Religiously speaking, a state of lethergy seems to prey upon all the churches and effect the powers of many of the ministers, the fact of which should bring us all to open confession. There is no other power to save us, but the power of God wrought through the Holy Ghost upon our hearts, and the hearts of all our Church people, officers and members throughout the entire church. May God be with us and open up our eyes that we may see the light. Your brother in Jesus Christ. Your brother in Jesus Christ Rev. S. M. Smothers, 323 Rudd Ave. Parsons News Notes.

Those songs were very closely connected with slavery and all that slavery meant. 3. They tell faithfully the Negro's innermost life, both intellectually and spiritually. 4. They are the only true source of Negro history; if any man would read the Negro's life, let him study these songs. 5. They are the only connecting link between the young Negroes and their ancestors. 6. They increase spiritual servor because they were born on adversity and tribulation. 7. If they are sung in the right spirit, a revival is sure to follow. 8. These songs of our fathers should be preserved with their best and truest interpretation. 2. These are the original JUPILEE SONGS. All other collections are feeble imitations and careless revisions. 3. They are the legacy of parents and ancestors whose memory we should delight to cherish.

Scobey was at his best and preached a soul stirring sermon to a good and appreciative audience. Mrs. F. B. Matthews, reporter. Salina, Kansas News. ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. S. A. Williams, Pastor. Sunday School opened at the usual hour with a fairly good attendance. At 11 a. m., Pastor Williams conducted a Bible study, discussing the 1st division of Psalms. Many wonderful truths were emphasized. He pointed out the awfulness of walking in the counsel of the ungodly, standing in the way of sinners and sitting in the seat of the scornful. A very instructive lesson was taught. At 8 p. m., Pastor Williams selected his text from Matt. 5:5; theme, "Meekness." The importance of meekness was very clearly pointed out and we were admonished to work, strive and pray for the grace of meekness. He spoke of the wonderful power we could be used by God, if we were only meek enough. The school rendered a very excellent program at the church Xmas Eve, which was a credit to the school and the Committee in charge. The beautiful Xmas tree was loaded down with gifts for all. New Year's Day is organization day at our church. The reports from every source will be made and election of officers for the ensuing year. A big free dinner will be served in the dining hall by the ladies of the Aid Society and the Mission Circle. THE SUN MUTUAL IN ASSOCI Topeka, and Mr. Crawford DePriest of Lawrence, are the guests of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. James DePriest this week. Miss Essie Wigley is the house guest of her sister, Mrs. Bertha Haynes. Mrs. Cora Frazier, Lawrence, spent the holidays with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Henderson. Mrs. Naomi Collins and Iva Thomas of Ft. Riley, spent Xmas in the city guest of Mrs. Winifred Travis. School opened at the usual hour with Supt. Browner at his post. The attendance was not up to the standard owing to the extreme cold weather. After song service and Scripture reading, Pastor Williams delivered a very impressive Xmas sermon, discussing the "Birth and Birthday of Jesus;" He was enabled through the Holy Spirit to paint a very beautiful picture to the mind's eye of that Memorial day and its events. At 8 p.m. pastor Williams selected as a theme for his discourse, "Does it pay to be a Christian?" This was indeed a strong Gospel sermon. He spoke on the price of Christianity. It means giving up the world, and taking up your cross and following Jesus daily, but there comes a joy in so doing, that surpasses all this world could afford; and too, there is that blessed assurance of Divine protection in the time of storm. Our pastor has returned home from Pratt, Kansas, and reports a great meeting, including 22 conversions. He pays a high tribute to Pastor Stokes and his amiable wife, stating that Rev. Stokes is a pastor, visioned, fore-sighted and progressive. Mrs. Martha Taylor, wife of Deacon Taylor, has returned from Rochester, Minn., where she underwent an operation. She is doing nicely now. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Sowell are the proud parents of a baby boy, born Saturday, Dec. 20th.

RACE DISCRIMINA TION IS BLAMED ON CHURCH (Preson News Service) COLUMBUS, OHIO, Jan. 2-Utter failure of the Christian Church to Christianity, and presence of "Just as much meanness in the world since the advent of Christianity as before" are the cause of discrimination against Negroes. Dr. Gilbert H. Jones, President of Witberforce University declared in addressing a meeting to promote "Racial Cooperation and Understanding." The meeting was attended by a large number of colored and white people. Bruno Lanker is Speaker. Disability of colored people is due to ignorance of the true characteristics and economic conditions of the race rather than to instinct and such feelings may be obliterated. Bruno Lanker, New York, active secretary, Race Relations Commissions of National Conference on Christian Way of Life, declared. A group of songs was sung by a curtiet from Wilbetforce University and a soloist was sung by Mrs. H. J. D. Williams. The racing was under the auspices of Columbus Urban League of which N. B Allen is executive, Rev. Gilbert S. Cox, president, another speaker, defended the Christian Ch. declaring many pastors are interpreting race intolerance as un-Christian. "Race discrimination ought r't to be present, but is, "Dr. Jones calls, "The problem is so enormous, so detailed in its ramifications and so stupid us. I wonder if we can do anything about it. Christianity is a fine burial of theological virtines. There is now better in the world, but it is a bunch of theological virtines to put off on some one else. Christianity doesn't seem to Christianize and the world goes one with just about as much cursed as in it as before Christianity came. "Race discrimination is just an ordinary human problem with lots of the devil in it. Back of the court to restrict the Negro to certain blocks and districts of the city is a motive that has not been shown. What does the other fellow get out of mistreating the Negro? Some form of race prejudice has existed since time began, although it has not always been on color lines. Where one race is found to another and held as loomsmen and seals, the subjected race has had to go through what the colored people endure.

This is not a question of race, but a question of keeping the beautiful for Washington, the city of the whole people of the United States." "People wish for tolerance the end without knowing the means to achieve this end." Mr. Last's said "People say that the prejudice is so old a t age, that it is an instinct that one never can bring it to an end. But one cannot have an instinctive reclusion to a color. Do you have any perception to the color of chocolate candy." "It is not instinctive. It is needed, and if we admit that it is required we must admit also that we can be of it. People who talk about North superiority generally are dull. "Unfavorable experiences set the key role and we become conscious of a dislike for coeral people long after we have forgiven the experience which excited the feeling. When we hear Southern Norroes making on that Christ was a colored man we have a feeling that they are natural ploys. We picture him as a man with blue eyes and long flowing locks whereas.
