Conditions Bring About New Relative Positions. PHASES OF INFINITE ORDER. Advancement Lies In Reasonable Selection, Which Is as True of Admirable Human Makeup as It Is of Efficient Mechanics — Counterpart of Race Prejudice. A. B. HORACE J. ROLLIN Troy, O.-Continuing the discussion of nature's answer to man's race question, Mr. Horace J. Rollin, author of "Yetta Segal," which some critics call radical, yet adequate as a pioneer sketch of the great question of racial phenomena, says: Such phenomena must be interpreted in a way consistent with man's nature. If he is capable of development, if he shall attain higher status through struggle or through means that are seemingly or for the time, degrading; if he is moving from the simple to the complex as to organization, if universal movement tends to unific existence, then racial interchange, with elimination of peculiar characteristics, has made its appearance as a phase of infinite order and for the benefit of future man. As to the state of integrity, we have mentioned primitive "offish" instinct as having had profound normal value. Temporary segregation has insured the process of developing peculiar specific qualities, at certain periods, in this or that environment, necessary to the cosmopolite of the future. But the products of nature inevitably undergo change, and if not used to establish advanced forms and expressions they are disintegrated as so much common material. Racial characteristics—as "the types" present them to popular gaze—attained full growth so long ago that modifications more or less marked have necessarily appeared. Modern conditions bring new relative positions. Extensive geographical interdistribution of types has resulted from the overcoming of such natural barriers as great rivers, seas, mountain chains and deserts. For multitudes, this means, different air, food, scene, thought and feeling—new elements that vary aspiration itself. The physiognomy is remodeled, irrespective of new lineage. Even if there were no fusion, the types could not remain the same nor so much unlike. Advancement lies in reasonable selection—this is as true of admirable human makeup as it is of efficient mechanics. It is not in order to say that any one is "in favor" of this phenomenon. No one declares that Newton was in favor of the law of gravitation. He called attention to it quite innocently; the spectator was not advised to climb a tall tree and then let go his hold, in order to test the readiness of the discovered law. Franklin perceived the power of "lightning" to help or harm the individual. Those who fancied that he "indorsed it" doubtless associated him with its ugly aspects. No one who comprehends the raison d'etre of the new philosophy desires to see the movement unreasonably accelerated. A morbidity would follow, the counterpart of race barred, itself. A knowledgement of the truth is certainly not a letting down of the bars to indiscriminate, ill advised mating. It is time, however, for comprehensive information. Increased knowledge means increased circumspection, the best protection for the individual. We should look at the past with improved vision. Some matings involving the racial interchange of cruder times—once declared brutal and immoral—must have had the psychic element. This is attested by a fair proportion of the living record. The composite must be considered in a way which will defend him and also insure ourselves against self degradation. Thus even where custom and ordinary law have been ignored by the ancestors psychic force comes spontaneously to remove mysterious temporary stigma. Nature provides increasing kinship, even to those of delayed development, and extending fusion is rendered less and less objectionable, with wider scope for happy selection. This is no more a mere theory than is the law back of the marvelous production of new stock, fruits and flowers. We are reminded to mention a book which authoritatively points to the crossing of types as a means of producing the superior man of the future. "The Training of the Human Plant" (the Century company, 1907). We predicted that Mr. Burbank must arrive at this conclusion. This infinite workman, who makes high philosophy tangible, had in mind the same principle of exchange of needed values with which he is so familiar in plant life. This irrefragable argument will be continued and concluded in our next issue.—Editor TRIBUTE TO BISHOP GAINES. Poured Out His Life Without Measure, Says Dr. Thirkield. Washington. Upon hearing the news of the death of Bishop Wesley J. Gaines, which occurred at his late home in Atlanta, Ga., recently, Dr. Wilbur Patterson Thirkield, president of Howard university, made the following comment concerning the life and work of the noted churchman, whom he had known for many years: The tidings of the death of Bishop Galnes give me a sense of distinct loss as I recall the character of this true man of God, his worth to the church and his remarkable record for righteousness, for truth and for progress in God's kingdom. I had cherished the hope that he might live many years and achieve a place as counselor and guide in the church which the revered Bishop Paine held for many years. Knowing him both as pastor and as bishop, I want to bear witness to the stainless record of this man of God and to his character, that through the years of close association as neighbor and friend in Atlanta I can testify was above reproach. The example of such a man for probity, purity and righteousness has been of unmeasured value. In his devotion to every interest of the church he poured out his life without measuring the cost. He has left behind him an enduring monument, not only in institutions of learning and in churches he has built, but also in his character and noble example that must live through all the years as a guide to all who knew him. It is hardly worth while to express surprise at finding colored soldiers in the ranks of the Turkish army, for wherever men strive in a common cause at home or abroad either for racial or national honor the colored man shoulders his share of the responsibility. The two killed in a recent skirmish between Turkish and Italian soldiers at Tripoli are said to have been the aggressors. CIVIL RIGHTS LAW ENFORCED. Vigilance Committee of National Association Secures the Conviction of a New York Theater Official For Violation of the Law—Victory For the Whole Race. New York.-The New York vigilance committee, an organization composed of representative white and colored citizens of New York city and of which Mr. Gilchrist Stewart is chairman and Professor J. E. Spingarn is secretary and treasurer, recently secured the first conviction ever had in New York state for violation of the civil rights bill. The New York vigilance committee was organized for active prosecution of all infringements of the legal rights of the colored man and has permanent headquarters at 26814 West One Andrew and Thirty-fifth street. It was necessary to have an organized protest against racial discrimination in order to combat the increasing number of outrages against colored men and women and to make effective the laws of the state which guarantee them equal rights. This organization has tackled the problem of police discrimination against prisoners and their unjust arrest on trivial offenses, their maltreatment often on their way to the station, and has, through the co-operation of Police Commissioner Rhinelander Waldo, secured equal protection and justice to colored prisoners as is given to all others. No longer is a colored prisoner or citizen misused by a policeman in the city of New York. Next it took up the question of certain localities where gangs were in the habit of insulting colored people when in their locality. These gangs were dispersed. Now it is vigorously attacking the custom of discrimination in public places—restaurants, theaters, hotels and cafes. It has brought a number of successful suits against these places to enforce the civil rights law. A custom had been growing in New York city to refuse colored people seats in the orchestra of the theaters. In a test case which was brought by the committee Harry A. Levy, assistant treasurer of the Lyric theater, was convicted of a misdemeanor for excluding a colored man and young lady from the orchestra seats of his theater. He offered to exchange the seats for two in the balcony, but this was refused. After a hard drawn out legal fight, conducted by Hon. Charles S. Whitman, the district attorney, through Mr. James A. Smith, as assistant, who had immediate charge of the case, and Attorney Charles H. Studin, one of the advisory legal counsel of the committee, this first conviction criminally under the statute of New York city had a startling effect upon prejudiced conditions. All of the daily papers of New York gave it wide prominence. The committee is fulfilling its purposes of coping with the constant increase of discrimination and violence against colored men and women in this city. The discrimination has manifested itself in numerous ways in all places of public accommodation and even in the administration of justice, and it is of the highest importance that an organized effort be made to maintain the civil rights of all citizens regardless of race or color. It is also essential that public opinion should be influenced and educated in the direction of equal rights or it will not be long before conditions in New York will be exactly the same as those in the cities of the south. This can only be accomplished by such vigorous prosecution in every case of discrimination that the certainty of punishment will deter even Y INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." JUARY 10, 1912.

BOSTON WOMEN HOLD BIG ANTI-LYNCHING MEETING Senators Asked to Introduce Bill Making Lynching a Federal Crime. Boston. At a lynching protest mass meeting in Faneuil hall held recently under the auspices of a committee of thirty colored women, led by Mrs. W. Monroe Trotter, it was unanimously voted to petition Senator Crane and Congressman McCall at Washington to offer bills in the senate and the house making lynching wherever perpetrated a federal crime. It was also voted to again petition President Tatt "to throw his influence in the scale against the men who burn little children and to appeal to colored men to stand against crime or criminals, whether they be black or white, and not to be so easily lynched." In a stirring address on "Lynching and American Public Opinion" Rev. R. C. Ransom of New York city said that lynchings primarily sprang out of the desire of the former slaveholding states to repress the Negro. The south, he claimed, in order to justify itself in these barbarities began by blackening his character and by painting him as a monster who menaced the safety of women. "Negroes themselves," he said, "are largely to blame for the contempt in which they are held and the impunity with which their liberties and their lives may be invaded. Sheriffs, mayors, counts, governors, will not take seriously into account the interests of a people who have lost or surrendered the right to retaliate or call them to account at the ballot box. Mobs do not quail when there is no fear that their wild brutalities will be answered by a volley of bullets." He said the action of this government in abrogating the treaty with Russia furnishes a striking example as to how the lynching evil can be combated. "We would advise," he said, "that Negro subjects of the British empire who come to this country numerously from the British West Indies travel freely throughout the southern states and when they are jim crowed and otherwise assaulted and degraded that they appeal to the British government on the ground that their treaty rights have been violated." "Within the past twenty-six consecutive years there have been recorded 25,000 lynchings of colored Americans in the United States. Not one lyncher has been punished," said Mrs. W. Monroe Trotter. "Think of the father with his son and daughter murdered on their way to the cotton gin with the products of their labor, the father and son tied to the cart and burned, the daughter shot in the back! "If these are not horrible enough to move you to sympathy, then think of the mother torn from her suckling babe, raped and with her fourteen-year-old son dragged through the streets of a city and hanged to the ties of a bridge! Think of those bodies swinging in the air, and if these do not move you to action God help us colored people!" The Tuskegee Annual Conference. At the recent annual conference of colored farmers held at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute reports were read which showed that during 1911 the colored farmers contributed half a billion dollars' worth of produce to the wealth of the south. Dr Booker T. Washington in his usual diplomatic way asked how much of this amount remains in the bank and in homes to the credit of the race. The conference was attended by a large number of white farmers and other business men. ess. Y GAIN." VOL. 30. Anecdotal Literature THE HONEST PHASANT. A Russian was traveling from Tobolsk to a distant city. On that road he stopped one night at the but of a poor peasant. In the morning on continuing his journey, he discovered that he had lost his purse. But he had no time to return and try to find it. The son of the peasant found the purse while out hunting, and brought it to his father. The honest old peasant was unwilling to make use of it, and hid it in a secure place, hoping some day he might find the owner and restore it to him. I: happened some time after, that the Russian passed that way again, and stopped at the hut of the peasant, who, however, did not happen to recognize him, until the Russian told of his loss on a former journey. The peasant listened attentively, and when the Russian had finished, he said, "You are fortunate, here is my son who found your purse, and which I had and never touched," and bringing the purse from its hiding place, he gave it to the owner, whose heart was touched with gratitude at this exhibition of honesty and faithfulness. History does not say, but, no doubt the honest peasant was liberally rewarded. * * THE JUVENILE "CALL." The Rev. C. F. Aked, at a dinner in New York, praised those clergy-men who work without thought of popularity or wealth. "There are some people," he said, who seem to regard a minister's life as did a little Liverpool boy." "Well Reginald," I once said to this boy, "what are you going to be when you grow up?" "A preacher, Sir," Reginald answered promptly, "there are always good dinners when the preacher comes." "Bugs Raymond, pitcher of the New York Giants, is a great nit on the field" said the sporting editor at the Pen and Pencil Club in Philadelphia. Raymond was disgusted one day at his team's wretched outfielding. Batter after batter sent up nigh flies and these easy balls were muffed alternately by left and right center. Bugs at the sixth muff threw down his glove and stamped on it. "There's an epidemic in the out field," he said, but by jingo, it isn't catching." Not only colts, but horses already broken need a bridle. So also do those having advanced in years and full experience. Old men are not always wise men. Passions which should, long ago have been subdued, still need bit and bridle, or they may lead into fatal errors. We are all within gunshot of the enemy as long as we are this side of Jordan. Judge Lindsay said of woman suffra- men, that it is about as wise as the little boy's description of the Easter day. This little boy was on the safety of the first time on the road. "O. pop, look at the big cow with her horns in her mouth, and eating bay with her tail." NO. 48 By W. G. JT WAS MUFFING.

The attitude of the New England Suffrage league and the Massachusetts branch of the National Independent Political league toward the appointment of Judge William C. Hook to the federal supreme court is indorsed by the Boston Globe. In its issue of Jan. 24 the Globe says: "The protest of certain colored citizens of New England against the nomination of Judge Hook to be a justice of the supreme court Illustrates the wide unpopularity of this gentleman. Heretofore the middle west has furnished most of the objections, but the opposition there is based on decisions alleged to be friendly to corporations, while the New England protest is founded on a decision said to be unfriendly to the privilege of Negroes in dining or sleeping cars. "It may well be questioned whether the president will feel himself justified in nominating a man who is so generally in disfavor. To select a man who must enter office lacking public confidence would be unfair to the supreme court. A Hook for a Harlan is hardly a fair exchange." MOVEMENT WILL BENEFIT THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION High Appreciation Shown For Work of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois. At the suggestion of Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford of Washington a movement has been started to raise a large fund to be presented to the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People on the occasion of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois' birthday, which occurs some time in February. The effort is being made in recognition of Dr. Du Bois' great services on the one hand and in appreciation of the work of the association for the promotion of human brotherhood on the other. The movement has thus far met with hearty responses from many sections. Since the national association stands for justice and equality of privilege and opportunity to all American citizens, the promoters of the movement desire the co-operation of every church and organization, as well as individuals, in order that a sum commensurate in a large degree with the character and worth of the organization to the race may be raised within a short time. In New York, where the headquarters of the association are, and in Brooklyn the women are active with plans by which to secure contributions from the various churches and organizations. The Equal Suffrage league of Brooklyn has already held several meetings, including one evening lunchcon, the proceeds from which will go toward the sum it desires to contribute to the general fund. The league has arranged for a systematic canvass, which will be followed by a general public mass meeting. Dr. V. Morton-Jones is chairman of the committee, and Mrs. Lydia C Smith, reporter for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, is the recording secretary. The management of the whole affair is being conducted by the women of the race. It is not only a wise movement, but one worthy of the liberal support of our people everywhere. Public Schools Assist Red Cross. The local Red Cross organization through Mrs. W. J. Boardman, recently officially acknowledged the work of the pupils of the colored schools of Washington in the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals. The Armstrong Manual Training school, through Miss S. W. Brown, contributed $20.10. Two contributions from Normal School No. 2 through Miss Williamson and Miss Hunter, were $60 and $14 respectively. Pupils of the M street high school turned in, through Miss Berry, $25 and through Mrs. A. M. Johnson $8, the total contributions from the children and young people of the local colored schools belong $137.10. Big Loss to Members of the Race. Through the complete failure of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty company in New York upward of 5,000 Afro-Americans will lose $500,000, according to a recent report. ```markdown ``` Nearly thirty Years THE PIONEER FRESS Has been the leader in this State and Nation for the grand and noble fight that is being waged for the amelioration of the condition of the Negro.
