The New York Age SNOW AT EASTER WITH SUNSHINE Ten Inches of Snow on Easter Eve, But Sun Is Bright On Easter Morn CHURCHES OBSERVE DAY Festival Commemorating the Risen Christ Is Marked by Elaborate Musical Programs and Eloquent Special Sermons. EASTER.COSTUMES ON SHOW Some of the New York Churches Curated Fund for Decorations and Used It to Relieve Distress and Want Among Members of Their Congregations. Ten inches of snow on the ground, and with the wind coming out of the northwest at an eighty mile gauge, the outlook on Saturday morning, Easter ove, was discouraging with a display of Easter Lanery and made the prospects of a large attendance at the Easter church ser- very remote. But overnight there came a change in the atmospheric conditions. The sun came out of the east with a genial glow and sent his smile warmly expanding over the whiteness of the land. In Manhattan and Brooklyn the snow-fighting divisions of the street cleaning department soon can't the sidewalks and stairs, especially those contiguous to the churches, are nearly all the houses on the street with dry-shelled comfort. A few of the Easter costumes were generous enough to brave the props, but many might have ventured because the temperature rose rapidly after the early morning hours and by afternoon of Easter day it was a genuine spring day. Many of the churches diverted some of the funds usually expended for decorations toward relieving the distresses of the church, but the building uses of pottery plants. Easter lilies, hyacinths, ferns and palms made nearly 20 of the churches bowers of beauty. Singing canaries in cages added their joyous songs to the Easter celebration in some of the churches. In many of the churches elaborate services had been arranged, special ceremonies and special musical prepared by the ministers and choirs. The recognition of Easter day as a religious test of faith was celebrated at the Catholic and Episcopalian, but all the Protestants denominations are giving it a place on their church calendar. The celebration, therefore, is becoming more and more general among the churches, in all sections of the country. Mother A. M; E. M; Zion Church, the Rev J.

Determination and well as evolution and reproduction of species. It is not only useless, but foolish to waste our precious energy questioning or endeavoring to oppose these processes. Our Lord, the Impanuel, in his prepared human body, forcertained in his preparation (shrine continued on page 7). Is He Using School to Further His Candidacy for the Bishopric? NEPOTISM IS ALSO ALLEGED Rev. Simmons, In Letter, Asserts and Charges that Morris Brown University is in Bad Shape Because President is Busy Campaigning, for Bishopric. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. ATLANTA, GA, April 6. The candidacy of the Rev. W. A. Fountain, president of Morris Brown University, for the bishopric in the A. M. E. Church is causing him to seriously neglect his duties in connection with the school, according to charges made in a letter to THE AGE written by the Rev. P. G. Simmons, former presiding elder, now pastor of the small church at Forsyth, Ga. Dr. Simmons makes a number of charges against President Fountain saying that the school is being run without the advice of the executive board, as no sessions of that body are being held; that children of certain preachers are being schooled free of charge in return for the parents' support of Fountain; for the bishopric; that the president is pursuing negotiation in running the school with his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law, his father-in-law and his brother all drawing salaries from the school. Besides this, he charges that the president's wife is conducting a cafe for the patronage of the students. In addition to these charges, it is also alleged by Dr. Simmons that President Fountain has centralized into his own hands the handling of all money for board, lunches from the commissary, rent of the dormitory, sale of the books, having the funds handled as formally by different persons, who were compelled to render genius. It is further declared that the office of steward of the school was created four years ago but the president attends to these duties himself, buying all the school supplies to the amount of from $500 to $600 monthly, the commission houses securing this business. Dr. Simmons' letter is as follows: To the editor of The Age: Morris-Brown University is in bashaphe. I am not an enemy but a friend to that institution. I think it due the public to know as the president is so busy using for votes to ride into the bishopric. No attack is being made on the school. But I do charge that the greatest irregularities are practiced. The school is being run without the executive board, a thing unheard of in the history of the school. We have had it for three years. This school was founded under the Sainted Bishop W. F. Dickenson. Bishop Galen came next; he held them. Bishop Grant came; he held them. Bishop Turner, the old Robinsons, would hold one a month if condition permitted. Bishop Smith, the parliamentarian of the bench hold them. But the man of Georgia, looked upon as the honest and upright of them all, came in his easy chair and allows things to go his way. You say anything he will set up and say in a serene manner that you are trying to injure the school: Not six men in the state know what the $1,000 per dormitory cost, and how the $1,500 per room cost. You have a hasty report to the trustee board and you heard them holler, "Bishop, I moved its adoption," and that was the last of it. President W. A. Fountain of this school would run against the bishopric that he neither has definition to run the school. That is why I am advocating Prof. A. J. Johnson. A. M. a layman, who won't have to lose so much time from the school, would be put in at the trustee meeting to present can have time to look after his candidacy without neglecting the school. Some Children Get Free Schooling. The children of a number of preachers are being schooled without cost of board or tuition, in order to help the children be an injustice to Johnathan Gordon Stuckton and Slimmons. We have yet that opportunity, so let him come rescuer if he wants to win... Most brazen nepotism is practiced in private secretary. Why not give this job to a deserving girl to help her through school? His sister-in-law, his father-in-law, and his brother allow a girl to be a secretary and his wife runs a cafe for the students. The president has more liberty in handling the funds of the school than any other president in the history of tuition, lunches from the money for board, cent of the dormitory, sale of books. He also keeps the money frightening the boarding students in the sewing department, short, every cent turned president, short, every cent turned president, short, every cent turned different persons, were assigned to the collection of this money and had to report the same. The office of the steward was created in office of the steward was created does all the buying from the house to the amount of between $500 and $600 per month. Upon this amount it is allowed he receives a discount for himself, and in addition to which the supplies are bought a donation in appreciation for the money spent. Witty his salary of $125 Fountain Flush With Funds. He has plenty of money so it seems, for it is said he started his brother off as an undertaker at the cost, and afterwards at the loss of a life. In the shoe repairing business at an alleged outfall of $500. He has purchased the home of Archdeacon Henderson for $5,500, paying cash down $500. He is able to pay the Independent, $250 when the rest of the men in the state, who are raising money to take care of the school, are not able to meet their actual living expenses. As a result of his management the school, which has $250,000 dollars have been borrowed this term to run the school. The properly in Macon, which he said he had secured for the school, turns out to be unavailable. The will is of no value, the bank has been thrown out of it. He now decided to abandon the project of getting it for the school. Attendance has fallen off until there are not over 600 pupils, including the high grades in the school. The high school he admires is reported by counting students two and three times. Every teacher he dismissed was his intellectual superior, D. Alexander, Dr.unning, Prof. Harper, Prof. Combs, Dr. Lemon, M. Ford and Miss Collins. He has a set of boys there now who will dance. If he tells them to. He requires the treasurer Dr. L. H. Smith to pay the bills for the light and dark school. Dr. Lemon school had to pay this bill, which amounts to about $25 per month, out of the tuition. Claiming to be Piper's Representative During his time as president he has not raised in four years one cent of money, except what he got from the Conference. Churches. He has simply gone into the packets of the men a he has piled up debt on the school and year pretending he is doing so much for the school. He poses as the bishop's representative and tries to intimidate the men on campus and missions by telling them if they are not the men will not consider them. He claims be the bishop's candidate and cannot be moved while Flipper is in Georgia. He has told certain men that he was more and could not be moved while Flipper is in Georgia. Some of the little men think he is the power behind the throne. Mrs. Julla R. Simmons heard the president say to the Rev. H. H. Lons, after he had been transferred to the university, that is what he got by fooling the recently presiding elders. We will come again soon, just listen for us. P. G. SIMMONS.

Chicago, Ill., April 6.—For the first time in the history of Chicago, a Negro, Oscar De Priest, has been elected as Allman to serve in the City Council. He was chosen Tuesday from the Second Ward, which is thickly populated by Negroes. He was at one time a County Commissioner, and is now engaged in the real state business. Superintendent Harris Is Alleged to Have Made Improper Advances to Ophelia Wade, Pupil, and Principal F. T.Vinegar Refused to Investigate the Charges. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE PINE BLIFF, ARK, April 6-As told in THE ACE of last week, the students of the Branch Normal College refused to attend classes because of serious charges against the superintendent of the industrial department, W. S. Harris, and the school was closed while the charges, were being investigated. The college is run by the state for Negro pupils, and Harris is a white man who has had serious charges preferred against him in the past. The charges at this time are made by Ophelia Wade, one of the young women pupils, and include the question that the superintendent improperly advanced to the offering to purchase for her silk hosiery and other articles of apparel, with other inducements. She resented the improper proposals and made report of same to F. T. Vinegar, principal, who failed to investigate the affair. Her parents made a demand upon the principal for action, which he refused. Miss Wade reported the事他-to her classmates, who also requested action by the principal, which was refused. Then the students walked out of a body refusing to attend further school in the district. The present status of affairs is set forth in the following article published in the Pine Bluff Press-Eagle, the most influential white newspaper of the city: TURN ON THE LIGHT. Superintendent W. S. Harris, of the Branch Normal School, is resting under some very serious charges made by a pupil of the school named Ophela Wade and her parents. The charges have been partially investigated by a committee composed of State Superintendent of Public Instruction Cook, President Putrell and Trustees Banks and University Trustees. This committee, after holding a Star Chamber session with a local committee, appointed by Superintendent Cook, is said to have made a report to the effect that the charges made against Superintendent Harris were not a "sufficient grievance" to justify the strike of the pupils, and that the Branch Normal School will, therefore, be ordered again. In the meantime the students have and are a resolution to the effect that they will not again attend the school until "this matter is adjusted." It is reported that the action of the pupils is sustained by a majority of the teachers at the Branch Normal School, which has been closed for more than two weeks. This is a very grave situation, vitally effecting the harmonious relations that have so long been maintained between the white and black races in Jefferson and South Arkansas. Charges of the nature of this harassment against Superintendent Harris cannot be languished away or smothered in executive sessions of either State officials or local, citizens. Not the First Time Harris Has Faced Charges. Mr. Harris is either guilty or innocent of the charges that have been made against him, and unfortunately for him, this is not the first time such charges have been lodged against him. If Mr. Harris is innocent of the latest charges against him as superintendent of the Branch Normal School, he should seek a full and public investigation in order that he may be indicted. If he is guilty, there is nothing left for him to do but to resign the position he has so long held, in the face of charges more serious than those made against him. There is no middle ground to pursue. While admitting some charges made by the Wade girl, Mr. Harris are informed, claims to be innocent of the wrong intent placed upon his actions. Whether Mr. Harris seeks it or not, the trustees of the Branch Normal should make a thorough and open probe into all the facts leading to the recent "attack" of the pupils. And if Superintendent Harris and his friend desire, his vindication and retention in his present position as the head of the only State Negro, school in Arkansas, both he and they should have the grace and decency to roll no other branches of objections in the way of such investigation. DRUNKEN POLICEMAN RECKLESS, WITH PISTOL Special to New York, New York. PHILADELPHIA, PA., April 7 —Because Thomas Symons, a window cleaner of 2235 Oxford street, would not enter into conversation with him, Edward Casey, an intoxicated policeman, drew his revolver and fired several times at Symons, who was cleaning windows at 10th and Columbia streets. Policeman Fittatrick, who resounded, found Symons clinging to his ladder in terror. Casey was arrested and placed under $300 bond to keep the peace. GENERAL COOPERATION IN THE OBSERVANCE OF HEALTH WEEK National Movement to Conserve Health of the Race Is Cordially Supported by Both Races in all Sections Star of Zion and Christian Recorder Issued Special Health Week Editions and Educational Boards of White Denominations Gave Hearty Support and Assistance. STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENTS IN THE SOUTH COOPERATED Every Southern State, Many Southern Cities, and Several Northern Cities Lent Assistance by Means of Literature, Lectures and Letters to Local Officials—Monthly Bulletin to be Published in New York City by the Department of Health. National Negro Health Week, held March 21 to 27, was another demonstration of the ability of the colored people of the country to co-operate in a movement for their own betterment. This National Negro Health Week also demonstrated how both races, North and South, can get together and work in a movement for the general uplift of the colored people. Never before has there been such a widespread co-operation of the races in a movement for the general good. When it was proposed, to have a National Negro Health Week there was some doubt, although the need of such a movement was urgent, as to whether the colored people would generally co-operate in this effort for their improvement. With the bishops of the several denominations and the ministers taking the lead, there was a general observance by the people throughout the country of Health Week. Several of the bishops wrote special letters to the ministers in their dioceses, urging upon them the importance of their co-operation in this much needed movement for the improvement of the health conditions, of the people. The "Star of Zion," the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, got out a special Health week edition. The "Christian Recorder," the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, made its issues of March 25 and April 1 special health editions. State Officials Aided Movement The educational boards of white denominations who are working among the colored people in the South, such as the American Missionary Association, the Baptist Home Mission Society and the Freedmen's Board of the Presbyterian Church, gave their hearty cooperation to the movement. The State Departments of every Southern State of the cities in the South, large and small, and of several cities in the North, lend their active assistance to this movement. By means of literature, lectures and in other ways these health departments did much to make the National Negro Health Week a success. The State Departments of Education of Arkansas, Tennessee and North Carolina, also assisted in carrying out the schools in these states sent out circular letters to the county superintendents urging upon them to see that the colored teachers under their charge assisted the people in observing Health Week. The leading white papers of the South gave publicity to the movement. Many of them wrote strong editorials in which the importance of improving health conditions among the colored people was especially emphasized. Attenuation of the teachers in these schools knew no oo line and that it was equally as important to the South to have black people healthy as it was to have the white people healthy. New York City's Observance In New York City it is reported that never before was so much interest manifested in a movement in the observance of Health Week, Men, and women in all walks of life took keen interest in the movement. Besides the wide advertisement through the colored press of the city, there were more than lars distributed urging the race to obey one hundred thousand cards and circumserve the week. Among the notes that attracted the greatest attention was a card prepared by the City Health Department, which stated that 25 gift out of forty persons in New York last week were Negroes. March 22 a large mass meeting was held at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church on West 53d street, among the speakers on this occasion were Dr. Martin; of the City Board of Health; Dr. F. C. Meyer, of the Child Welfare Committee, and Dr. Charles H. Roberts, whose address was published in The Age on March 25.

Va., Health Week was under the charge of the local association of colored physicians.

It has been decided to publish at Tuskeger Institute Post Office. Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE-NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor.

Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication.

Gives the history of the Negro race from its beginning in THE MUSEUM OF THE WORLD'S FINEST ART MY LARGER EDUCATION --- THE COLORED Y. M. C. A. Our editorial on the new building for the colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. published in last week's issued, called forth from one of our readers the following letter: To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: I am a constant reader of your valuable paper, and had far rather miss so many good dinners than so many issues of THE NEW YORK AGE; but your editorial in this week's issue headed "The Colored Y. M. C. A." is discouraging, especially in this age and time while ten millions of colored people even in the South are agitating and fighting segregation, both in letter and in spirit. I repeat, *a colored Y. M. C. A.*? Do you ask of your great paper approve of a separate Y. M. C. A. Why not advocate separate Pullman for colored people—separate trailers on subways and elevated trains—separate schools—separate public libraries, etc. etc? Before going further into details on this subject I respectfully refer you to an article in the New York Globe and Commercial Advertiser of January 16, 1914, over the signature F. F. Johnson Jr. of the, Cosmopolitan Society of America. The article is headed "The Y. M. C. A. Color Line." Certainly you must have the clipping on file, as I have. Separate Y. M. C. A. as the "Mason-Dixon" line must not be encouraged. Do your reply through the columns of your popular paper, "Mr. Editor. Our correspondent seems to feel, because we called upon the colored people who subscribed to the Y. M. C. A. fund to make good their pledges and urged upon the committee to erect the building in a suitable and prominent location, that we had just, as well come out and advocate separate Pullman cars, and subways, and libraries, and schools. It takes no logician to detect the error made by our correspondent in comparing public utilities and institutions with what is more or less a social organization. We might in turn ask our correspondent if he advocates the closing of colored churches, the disbanding of colored fraternal societies, and the breaking up of colored social clubs and the like. The difficulty with the writer of the letter, is that he has overlooked or is not familiar with the principles of group psychology. There are dozens of white churches in New York which colored people can join and where they would be made welcome. But do they join them? No, they prefer to join their own. And, as the Postman people say, "There's a reason." There is only one way in which the great mass of colored young men in this city can be made interested in Y. M. C. A. work and that is by having a proper organization and building of their own. Even with the white organizations absolutely free and open to them, they would not be attracted in any considerable numbers. This group consciousness is something to be proud of, not ashamed of; and it is as different a thing from having to ride in Jim Crow cars as The Age editorial was from being an approval of restrictions against colored men joining white Y. M. C. A.'s. Even with white Associations absolutely open to us, there would be nothing unnually in preferring our own; in fact, just the opposite would be. THE PASSING OF JACK JOHNSON It is the old, old story of one fight too many. It is a demonstration of the old truth that in a contest of age with skill and experience against youth with strength and endurance, Youth, in the end, will always triumph. old, old story of one fight too many. It is old truth that in a contest of age with skill a fight with strength and endurance. Youth, in philip, pugilistic view of point, it was a great fight. We may cultivate the finer sensibilities, how the exercise of brute force, still there is so sad a clean and fearless fighter that stirs even his veins. Johnson fought a great fight, the yellow streak, and it must be remembered of one lone black man against the war he has not only been a great winner, but a good loser. After the battle was over he was enough to say: as a clean knockout and the best man wiser of luck. I have no kick coming." was the perfect athlete, the master box sportsman. Even those who hate him ever put on a glove. Had it not been breaks, he would have been the most herd; for he possesses all the elements. Even so, it is hardly probable that Willard world known figure that Johnson is. The on the globe where Jack Johnson's name is unfortunate that Willard's name will ever go be countries. 's had personal breaks deprived him of all of most of his own race; yet it must be breaks left out of the question, his record something of a racial asset. paving more respect to the arguing race in the world. As soon as Japan is immediately gained the respect and admack Jack Johnson compelled some of this delusion in an individual way. the delusions fostered by the Anglo-Saxon superior to those of "lesser breed" not only physical strength and stamina; that physi mind, and the white man's mind being a gruelling grind that takes the heart out of Johnson-Jeffries fight, the papers were full that the white man had the history of mind, while the black man had nothing angle; that when the white man looked the black man would wilt. But the black man looked the white man in the eye, but hit literally punctured this old and pet delusionistic record is something of a racial asset. Jack Douglass had a portrait of Peter Jackson library, and he used to say that Peter wore the race question. Were it not for the arred to, Jack's niche would be greater than Johnson, licked Jeffries, most of the states the exhibition of moving pictures of prize could be degrading to the morals of the pet conquering a white one. (Some of this insist the "Birth of a Nation" would be very white man has licked Johnson, the law face that Willard will draw the color line. is himself, by this, not as the greatest fighter as the greatest white fighter. So, as down as the last real champion, a fight his strength and skill against all comers. From a pugilistic point of view, it was a great fight. And, however much we may cultivate the finer sensibilities, however much we may decry the exercise of brute force, still there is something in a great fight and a clean and fearless fighter that stirs every man with red blood in his veins. Johnson fought a great fight. He showed no sign of the yellow streak, and it must be remembered, too, that it was the fight of one lone black man against the world. And he proved that he has not only been a great winner, but that he could also be a good loser. After the battle was over he was manly and sportsmanlike enough to say: "It was a clean knockout and the best man won. It was not a matter of luck. I have no kick coming." Johnson was the perfect athlete, the master boxer and always the square sportsman. Even those who hate him concede that no greater fighter ever put on a glove. Had it not been for certain bad personal breaks, he would have been the most popular idol pugilism ever had; for he possesses all the elements that make for popularity. Even so, it is hardly probable that Willard will ever become the world known figure that Johnson is. There is not, perhaps, a spot on the globe where Jack Johnson's name is not familiar; while it is doubtful that Willard's name will ever go beyond English speaking countries. Johnson's bad personal breaks deprived him of the sympathy and approval of most of his own race; yet it must be admitted that with these breaks left out of the question, his record as a pugilist has been something of a racial asset. The white race, in spite of its vaunted civilization, pays more respect to the argument of force than any other race in the world. As soon as Japan showed that it could fight, it immediately gained the respect and admiration of the white race. Jack Johnson compelled some of this same sort of respect and admiration in an individual way. One of the delusions fostered by the Anglo-Saxon is that white men are superior to those of "lesser breed" not only intellectually, but also in physical strength and stamina; that physical stamina is a matter of mind, and the white man's mind being superior he can stand the gruelling grind that takes the heart out of other men. Before the Johnson-Jeffries fight, the papers were full of statements to the effect that the-white man had the history of Histings and Agincourt behind-bim, while the black man had nothing but the history of the jungle; that when the white man looked the black man in the eye, the black man would wilt. But the black man did not wilt. He not only looked the white man in the eye, but hit him in the eye. Johnson effectually punctured this old and pet delusion; and so we say his pugilistic record is something of a racial asset. Frederick Douglass had a portrait of Peter Jackson hung on the wall of his library, and he used to say that Peter was doing his part to solve the race question. Were it not for the unfortunate "breaks" referred to, Jackis niche would be greater than Peter's. When Johnson, licked Jeffries, most of the states, passed laws prohibiting the exhibition of moving pictures of prize fights. Of course it would be degrading to the morals of the people to see a black man conquering a white one. (Some of this moral fervor expended against the "Birth of a Nation" would be very creditable). Now that a white man has licked Johnson, the law looks funny, doesn't it? We notice that Willard will draw the color line. He labels himself, by this, not as the greatest fighter in the world, but merely as the greatest white fighter. So, after all, Jack Johnson goes down as the last real champion, a fighter who was ready to match his strength and skill against all comers.

If the world continues to judge us, we shall never get a fair decision, for the all always have with us. If we are judged utly willing to rest our cases on that point No finer editorial tribute has ever been paid individually to a colored man by a great newspaper than the following from "The World" upon the record of Charles W. Anderson, who last week went out of office as Collector of Internal Revenue: In the production of "The Birth of a Nation" in this city a race is libelled. In the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue for the Second District of New York that race may be judged by its fruits. Charles W. Anderson goes out of office to-day after holding for ten years this responsible post under the Treasury. Many millions of dollars has passed through his hands. His dealings have been practically all with white men of the keenest intellect and of substantial business standing. Capacity and courtesy have been the qualities most remarked in his conduct of an office maintained always in the highest efficiency. In Collector Anderson's own revenue measures, the income tax, the corporation tax and the war, revenue tax, have made this office, the most difficult, as it is the most important, ever held by a colored man under the Government. He has stood the test. No race is fairly judged by holding up as types for reprobation its most degraded specimens. Every race has the right to be judged by its patient, tolling, useful average, and by its best. But, this is not only a splendid tribute to Mr. Anderson, it is a fair statement of the whole race question reduced to its simplest terms. We have a right to demand that we be judged by the best we can produced, for that is the criterion by which races and nations are rightly judged. If the world continues to judge us by the worst we produce, we shall never get a fair decision, for, that worst element we shall always have with us. If we are judged by our best, we are perfectly willing to rest our cases on that point. THE PROOF OF EQUALITY. current number of "Everybody's Magazine, on gives a sketch of Isaac Fisher.

Washington gives a sketch of Isaac Fisher. Mr. Fisher is the man who won the first prize of $500 which "Everybody's" offered for the best essay on the subject, "What we Know About Rum." His picture is published with the article, so no one can make the mistake of supposing that the winner was white. This publication of Mr. Fisher's picture and the sketch about him is next in importance to his having won the prize, because it will, through the wide circulation of the magazine in which it is printed, bring before thousands of white readers what will, in many cases, be the startling fact that a Negro has brains that can accomplish the same things which are accomplished by brains located in the heads of white men. It will be by establishing this fact with sufficient frequency and in sufficient variety that we shall undermine and overthrow the kind of prejudice which is our main handicap. We say, "the kind of prejudice which is our main handicap," because there are various kinds of racial prejudice. "They do not all exist for the same reason; or better, lack of reason. There are some forms of prejudice which are, at bottom, a compliment; as, for instance, one people might be prejudiced against another, because of certain superior qualities possessed by the latter. In some degree, this is true of the prejudice which exists against the Jews in certain countries. There was something of this in the prejudice against the Moors in Spain. We ourselves, get, an occasional hint of this form of prejudice; we see the prosperity of colored farmers in North Carolina and Virginia causing certain whites to clamor for farm segregation. But, in the main, prejudice against the Negro is founded in the feeling and belied that he is mentally and intellectually an inferior being. It is sometimes stated that the main prejudice against the Negro is due solely to his color, but we have abundant proof that there is no great physical antipathy between the white and black races in this country—and there is less in other countries. If the main-cause of prejudice against the Negro is due to the feeling that he is mentally and intellectually an inferior, then this prejudice may be removed by his giving proof of possessing the same degree of these qualities as is possessed by the people among whom he lives. This, however, must be done not merely in isolated cases, but the proof must be given so frequently and in so many various ways as to create a general opinion. So every Negro who accomplishes anything which demonstrates brain power and the ability of energizing with the brain picks a stone out of the wall of prejudice. Whether he works a farm so as to raise more than the average number of bales, or founds and manages a successful business, or invents a new machine, or paints a great picture, or composes a great musical work, or writes a great book, he picks out his stone, be it large or small. Each time a Negro does something which was previously thought to be in the exclusive domain of things to be accomplished by white men's brains, he produces a shock that shakes/the wall of prejudice; and a sufficient number of shocks will shake it down. Of course, when this prejudice has been removed another kind of prejudice may develop in its place; that is, the prejudice founded in a feeling of our inferiority may give place to a prejudice founded in the fear of competition, in the fear of ascendancy. This, in a slight degree, is already taking place in some sections. However, this would be a change for the better, because there can be no form of prejudice so odious, so humiliating and so harmful as that which is based on contempt. THE UNITED STATES IN LATIN-AMERICA. A Washington despatch says that the recognition of the new Guillaume Government in Haiti, by Germany, Italy and France is causing our State Department some concern. Our Government appointed a commission headed by former Governor Fort of New Jersey to carry out a program of rehabilitation in Haiti; and an American syndicate was formed for the purpose of straightening out Haiti's finances. While Secretary Bryan was "watchfully waiting," France, Italy and Germany recognized the new government, and France furnished a million dollars to finance it. This country may some day gain ascendancy in the black republic through intervention or by force of arms, but under existing conditions, it cannot hope to do so through any feelings of trust and confidence on the part of the people of Haiti. And the same reasons which Haiti has for mistrust apply in a greater or lesser degree to all of the other republics of Central and South America. Another Washington despatch says that the United States will probably take over the police control of Panama and Colon, the two principal cities of the Republic of Panama. This step is being considered on account of a riot in Colon a day or two ago in which one American soldier was killed and several others wounded by Panama policemen. This is not the first affair of the kind in which men in either the United States army or navy have been killed or wounded. The despatch places the whole blame on the native Panamanian police; they may not be free from blame, but they are not wholly at fault. The truth is, a large part of the trouble is due to the absolute contempt in which nearly all Americans hold the natives of the small Latin-American countries. They speak of them as "spikoties," and do not feel themselves amenable to "spikoty" law. For example, when an American sailor gets leave, and goes ashore for a good time, he proceeds to have it with all his heart. As his hilarity increases, so does his contempt for the native guardians of peace. He makes no bones of boasting that he can lick a half dozen "spikoty" policemen; and he can do it, too. When the sailor's good time, gets to be a nuisance, and the police interfere, there is generally trouble. If there is a crowd of sailors and a crowd of police, there is more trouble and somebody gets seriously hurt; as the sailors are unarmed, they are the ones who get hurt. The feeling of resentment against this general air of contempt on the part of Americans is keener in Panama than in any of the countries to the south of us, because the Americans have, as far as they have been able, Jim Crowed the Panamanians in their own country. So a clash there is always likely to have serious results. These outbreaks and their results could be greatly reduced in Panama and all the small Latin-American countries if United States officers would impress upon the men in all branches of the American service that they must respect both the law and the servants of the law in whatever land they might be. VALUE OF A NEGRO'S LIFE IN GEORGIA. Civilization in the South, as we have said more than once, is a thing of paradoxes, but the one thing which always stands out most prominently is that Negro life is very, very cheap in that section. From one issue of "The Atlanta Constitution," March.31, we clip two items which give a pretty good indication as to how valuable Negro life is in the State of Georgia. The first clipping calls attention to the fact that a colored man was tried, convicted and executed wholly upon the testimony of two little girls, whose ages are not given but who, we will assume, were under twelve years of age. It is a horrible state of affairs when such things as this can take place and the murderer go unrebuked and unpunished. The news item referred to is from Macon, Georgia. FATHER KILLS NEGRO Macon, Ga., March 30.—(Special) R. E. Morgan, of 210 Sixth avenue, shot and killed Albert Wells, a Negro late yesterday chilling that the Negro treaters after meeting them on the Clinton Road and ordering them not to run away from him, under threat of killing them if they did. The two girls hastened away and notified their father of what had happened. Mr. Morgan secured his shot and killed the Negro girls said the Negro had been. The Negro was seated beside the road and was identified by the girls as the one who had stopped them. Mr. Morgan promptly bluff off the Negro's head. Later he was exonerated by a cor- Later he was exonerated by a coroner's jury. Another case in point is that a colored man was killed in the home of the man for whom he worked, and so lax have the police officials been in trying to locate his murderer or murderers that his employer, Mr. Frank S. J. W. J. Ellis, was moved to protest in strong language against the lack of interest shown by the officials sworn to uphold and vindicate the law. The Atlanta Constitution reports the matter as follows: ELLIS CHARGES POLICE FRANK S. Ellis, one of Atlanta's best known citizens, whose Negro butler, John Huff, was killed by a burglar in Atlanta, was a burglar in bitterly denounced the police and defectives of Atlanta last night for alleged lack of interest in probing the murder. "It is outrageous," said Mr. Ellis, "that such crimes can be committed in Atlanta, and never a thief caught. Tuesday morning, E. P. M. Burney's home, 1058 Peachtree road, within a burglarized, and the police again failed to catch the culprit. "There is something fundamentally wrong with the police department. They lack interest in following up such crimes and chasing down the guilty persons. "Two days have elapsed since my servant was murdered in the basement of home, defending the master whom he has so faithfully served, and the police report no progress on the case. "It is time for the citizens to take measures to secure better protection against these nightly murders." Civilization can never rise to a very high level in any state or in any section of any state which copits life as cheaply as the Georgians seem to count Negro life. If Negro life is cheap today, it goes without, saying that 'the life of the highest and most prominent white citizen will be equally as cheap tomorrow. A pertinent inquiry is, what is Negro life in Georgia worth? RALEIGH, N. C. Raleigh, N. C.—Charley Jones of Winston-Salem, N. C., stopped in this city a short last week when curate wore a black hat.
