From Far-Off South America
Dear Editor:—I am heavy and worn, not with the struggle I have with the world to gain a living personally, but with thoughts of the ways of the world and the misery unnecessarily beaped upon the weak. I should not feel so heavy, however, if this was all. But after some reflections, I feel that I might call myself an observer at the least, and as such I can see no reasons for all this mercilessness from man to man, only in a very technical way. I find that troubles commonly felt among men are like a phenomenal hammer, welded by some mysterious hand, to weld the much divided humanity into a solid mass of mutual love and fellowship. For these last few days, I have been constantly annoyed with these words echoing and reechoing in my mental ears. Congress has been asked to dispense with the national constitution while they (certain of the people) strike terror to the Negro race. Arms and ammunition were sent to the people who are to do the work under the guise of supporting authorized government. This authorized government is to annul its own constitution, (mind you), in order to do this, so that, (as is confessed), citizens cannot ask protection according to the laws of constitutional government, which is now to be especially empowered to strike terror to the hearts of certain of its own subjects because of such a race's difference in color. This and all such misery as I now feel can never reach the senses which lay dormant in an ignorant, brutal, lazy Negro. Nor does it touch those of that class of a white man, because it is mostly the low minded, dumb sensed or unsympathetic, barely educated men who promote these things. They are unable to feel the pain of their weaker brother. This is not a strange nature or condition of feeling to the lower animal by any means, but is rather more like one not to feel the social pain of his fellow. True education and Godliness make a most tender and sympathetic being, but brutality is and always was the greatest evidence of an unrefined brain. "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do," were not the words emanating from an ignorant, unrefined brute in human form, but to the contrary, it is what came from a most elevated conscience, and it expressed the highest degree of refinement, even in prayer, for those which David, the prophetic king, classed as "Bulls of Bashen," whatever that meant. I have been informed by a white gentleman of America, that this was not done to offend the rich and educated Negroes of America, but the lazy, ignorant ones instead. He says that he has often invited Negroes to his house to repaste with him. I asked this same gentleman was that what he thought I meant by social equality? I informed him that according to the spirit which he seems to demonstrate by this very statement is the greatest evidence that it was just to the opposite, as he thought that he had done some Negro or Negroes an honor by inviting him or them to his private places.
as his guest. This too, proved his judgment of social etiquet, as the honor is rather to the host that one should allow him to be the host, and I told him so in plain words after quoting Emerson to him. Emerson is quoted as saying, that "When I am visiting my friends, I do the Siddflag of my friends; but when my friends visit me they must do my bidding." Thus the guest is subservient to his lord and host; while such relations remain between them. Therefore I always ask for the honor of being host of any one whom I invite to be my guest. And I deem it such too if he or she accepts. Thus it is that a man should ask a woman for the honor of being her lord. And should she accept, be at once became her master. Thus while such relations exist between them, she is his servant and not his equal; therefore her name is at once absorbed into his; likewise her individuality and independence. I told my white American brother that no Negro with an ounce of intelligence would for a moment deem it an honor to be his or any other man's guess. But if he permitted the Negro to be his host, then the Negro had been honored. But this did not reach my idea of social equality, as man can be the social equal to man and yet never speak to him; while seeing him every day. Social equality means equal recognition and equal rights to make one's self happy in every possible way while duly respecting those same rights of all of his social neighbors. Weighing all of these things in my mind at one time I feel myself particularly heavy and bowed, and do know that had my conception of the truth not been so keen I should not feel this pain any more than the unrefined white man or ignorant stupid Negro, who can wade laughingly through the blood of his dying brother while listening to his agonizing death groans. I say then, with great emphasis, that this butchery will never have the same effect upon the ignorant stupid, brutal Negro, as it will have upon the most delicate mind, even of those of the other races. It hurts the sensitive white man or woman far more than it does the most ignorant Negro, although you had killed his mother. A harsh word, a cross look or the neighbor's discomfort, is more severe to an educated brain than the fire torch is to the skin of the ignorant. Thus it is the intelligent and refined persons which you are hurting with this butchery, and they exist equally in all races. How often is it that the pain of sympathy is greater to the friend of intellect, than to the wounded soldier upon the field of battle? How many persons are there who would suffer any kind of bodily pain to ease that of the mind? I think upon these things when I remember publications such as one which now lays before me, written by Clarence A. Bryan, and published in The Florida Reporter, in Tampa, Florida, U. S. A, April 6th, 1913, entitled, "Are All Men Born Equal?"
I admit that the gentleman made a wonderful attempt at eloquence from a display of having read certain books, but from a logical standpoint, he reminds me of a graphophone or some such machine, and when I think of certain other men of color in the (Continued on Second Page.)
The Notification of the Indiana Executive For Democratic Vice Presidency Honors a Record Breaker.
Indianapolis. — Just about the time that thousands of friends of Governor Thomas Riley Marshall were anxiously wanting to shake his hand in congratulation over his acceptance as candidate of vice president on the Democratic ticket a smiling woman stepped before him, and if one could have heard what she whispered in his car it would have been something like "Now, hurry in, Tom, and change your clothes."
And Tom Marshall forgot to shake hands with the enthusiastic friends until he had carried out the orders of Mrs. Tom.
Indiana has honored four of her sons as vice presidential candidates on the Democratic ticket, but the crowds that
A.
greeted Governor Marshall in the big coliseum in the state fair grounds here today were the greatest in the history of the party.
The west wanted to show the east what could be done in notification honors, and, while Mrs. Marshall was happy, of course, over the honors for her husband, she was also worried, for her husband comes mighty close to being father, husband, son and partner all in one. And when a woman has that combination on her hands to care for she has every right to be worried.
Governor Marshall will never gain any honors as a hammer thrower. He is not built that way.
While all the country was reading the vigorous words of Governor Marshall which told the voters what he expects Democracy to do in carrying out the pledges for the next four years it's worth while to know what part a woman is taking in the affairs of the campaign—how Tom Marshall happens to be in the position in which he stands today.
The good people of Columbia City, Inda, never thought Thomas Riley Marshall was a "marrying man." For forty years he had lived with his parents, nursing both his father and mother, who were invalids, which was the reason Governor Marshall was not a marrying man. He felt his first duty was to his parents.
Meeting Mrs. Marshall.
After the death of his parents Governor Marshall dived deeper into his law practice, and one day an urgent case took him to Angola, Ind. His duties called him to the county clerk's office, and there he met Miss Lois Kimsey, daughter of the county clerk, who
was assisting her father in the office. From that day Governor Marshall had more business around the county clerk's office in Angola than any lawyer in half a dozen nearby counties. Governor Marshall was forty-two years of age when he was married. Mrs. Marshall being nearly twenty years his junior. The Marshallis had been married only a few weeks when the future vice president was called to an adjoining county on a case that would consume some five or six weeks of his time. "Now, I did not want to be starting off like that." Governor Marshall explained to a friend one day, so I just told Mrs. Marshall that I thought she should go along. And she did."
Since then Governor Marshall has never made a trip without Mrs. Marshall going along. They have traveled all over the country together; they go to banquets and political meetings together until the friends of the Indiana executive refer to him and his wife as the "pards."
"Tom Marshall is not overstrong," explained one of his friends. "While not a delicate man, his constitution is not of the most vigorous type."
"When he gets into a political battle he forgets his weakness. He gives all that is in him, and that will tell on any man. Mrs. Marshall soon discovered that the governor would become heated in making a speech and the next day his voice would be husky.
She decided that he had better give up some of the handshaking and take care of his health first. So when you find him making a speech he does not stay around to hear the applause of the audience. Father, he hurries to his room and changes his clothing.
"Some people have said that Tom Marshall is not a handshaking politician. He is not. His wife thinks it is more important to guard his health than to carry out the old time policy, and she is correct, as she is in most all other things."
"Home Air" Prevalle.
The Marshall home is typical of the mistress. It is a home of books, and still one does not feel "bookish." One of the Marshall friends said he always felt like eating when he entered the Marshall home in Columbia City or the executive mansion at Indianapolis. Mrs. Marshall believes in a home first, and the "home air" provals.
"If Governor Marshall ever occupied the White House people would not know that historic institution," declares an admirer. "Mrs. Marshall would have it a real home. People would feel comfortable even in the midst of the gold and glitter."
But it is not only as a wife and the mistress of a home that Mrs. Marshall shows her ability. She is a politician and a clever one. She also has a remarkable memory.
Governor Marshall has earned the reputation of being in a class of story tellers all by himself. He can remember stories, but he forgets names. A name is something to be cast aside with Governor Marshall, and this is one of the regrets of his life, if he has any regrets. The governor is not a worrying man. He is somewhat a fatalist, but if he could he would like to remember names; but, not having that ability, he does not worry, for Mrs. Marshall is the new rememberer of the family.
She has a peculiar ability along this line. Not only does she remember the last name, but any combination of names comes as second nature to her, and she carries this ability on down to the children and cousins of any one seeking the governor.
While the governor is shaking hands and trying to remember whether his caller is Jones or Smith, Mrs. Marshall is busy supplying the information and asking about all the relatives.
Ideal Partners.
Governor Marshall has no brothers or sisters, and his parents being dead leaves him somewhat barren of relatives.
Governor Marshall's friends are enthusiastic over his home life. When he has started on talking of his wife a new light in the Hoosler executive comes to the surface.
They come near being ideal married partners.
"I was talking to Tom one day," explained one of his most intimate friends. "We were leaning back, and

PRAYERS FOR LUCY GRAY.
A young minister, somewhat shy and bashful, came into a pastorate in which there were a number of persons who bred horses, and sometimes rode them steeple chases.
One day the deacon said to the minister,—"If you please, sir, the prayers of the church are desired for Lucy Gray." The minister thinking the deacon asked for prayers for Sister Lucy Gray, said "very well," and in every service Lucy Gray was remembered, until one morning the deacon rushed into the ventry, and said, "you needn't pray for Lucy Gray any more, she's won the chase."
"Have I been praying for a horse?" exclaimed the astonished and mortified divine. "I shall leave the place."
You'll do nothing of the sort" said the deacon, "you got the hearts of them all in the parish by praying for the horse."
ABSENT MINDED.
John Bendon Sanderson sat at his desk in the University College lost in thought. It was noon. Beside him lay his frugal lunch, a sandwich, next to the sandwich lay a frog, not dead, but motionless,—it had been the subject of a curious experiment in the lecture room half an hour before.
At noon the assistant left the professor meditatory before the sandwich and the frog; and at one o'clock, when the assistant returned the professor was meditating still. The sandwich was untested, but the frog—the frog had disappeared.
MORE BUSINESS.
Client,—(To Lawyer) "you may not get any more business from me. I've bought a law book."
Lawyer;—"I won't worry, for in that case I shall probably get more business than ever."

There is a doll in the British Museum that is more than three thousand years old. When some archaeologists were exploring an ancient Egyptian royal tomb they came upon a sarcophagus containing the mummy of a little princess seven years old. She was dressed and interred in a manner befitting her rank, and in her arms was found a little wooden doll. It was tightly clasped in the arms, and it was evident that the child died with her beloved doll in her embrace.
The doll occupies a place in a glass case in the Museum, and many children go to gaze upon it.
HIS HEIRLOOMS.
Son,—"Me, what is a heirloom?"
Ma,—"It is something handed down from father to son, and, in some instances, is highly prized."
Son;—"I'd prize these heirlooms I'm wearing a good deal more, if they wasn't so long in the legs."

SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1912
The Negro who froths at the mouth because others side with Roosevelt, is very light in the upper story, for it is the proper thing for sensible ones to do and we pity those soft shells on the other side. We the Bull Moosers are going to win, and when we are in the kingdom, be men and don't ask favors of us.
No mortal man could make the editor of this paper believe that either John Mitchell, Jr., or the Hon. H.C. Smith has a drop of false blood in their bodies. Both have partially worn out their active lives for a class which pays in damns for their devotion. Battle on you brave race leaders and advocates, earth has a haven of rest for each of you, and a hereafter heaven of glory.
Penrose and all the others who are trying to blacken Theodore Roosevelt's character on the ground of a slush fund politically gotten, only blacken their own from the fact they two used it to be elected and are now only fighting him because they are, politically one foot in the grave, knook-need and dying, and as misery likes company, they are simply trying to kill Teddy, but Teddy don't die so easily, eh?
The Senior editor is home this week, and the young man gone. Can't tell why, but something is going wrong. The son loans to Taft and the father to Teddy, and why he would put Mrs. Wilson's picture and her saying in last week's issue, and Mrs. Marshall's in this, we are at a loss to know.
We take no stock in what either assumes to say—for their husbands are the authors, or had fingers in the pie. We are for Teddy, who is going to win, as sure as 2 and 2 are four, and the sensible people feel and know it.
Do you boosting white people, whose vanity beguiles you, ever stop to read the signs of the times? Do you know what the air brakes, and 34 more important patents are the result of a Negro's brain? Do you know or stop to think over the fact that the two races of all others, to most brutally treated by you and yours, have produced two masters of the world—one a Negro in the fistic arena, and the other an Indian, in Athletics? True. Think, for these are signs of the times. Let us from now, preach and practice the golden rule; the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God,—live peacefully and happy here,—the only gateway to the other abode.
Right never fails to win—hence do it, stand still which means firm, and see the blessings of God to man. A rotten game is going on here again, and since the courts will knowingty allow it, don't believe God will much longer. What is it?
This. Decent and industrious Negroes work and a gang of crop shooters and card players won't. The latter live by tricks put up to them
by a certain United States official, who was put out of office by the Department of Justice and put back by means unknown to us. When he arrested a man not long ago, he told him not to employ Clifford, and that he had better get 'Stuart Walker' if it cost him a hundred dollars, but the Negro knew his friend and hired Clifford.
We asked one of these pimps once: What do you do for a living? and his reply was, with motions of his hands—shuffles cards, and then said: "I am a crook." How much do you make a week, I asked him, and he said some time a hundred dollars; and in the face of his confessed devilry, my client was held and that black scoundrel went to Parkereburg, getting tea cups per mile for going there to lie and so much per day,—making him about $40 for the trip—pie for a few black and white niggers. Will "Bristo" was arrested by W. D. Brown on his way from work last week on the oathe of two white fellows, who were afraid to go before the people of this town, but went to Parkersburg to indict other innocent men, awore to lies and indicted Will "Bristo."
Why have a United States Court building here and hold two terms of Court here yearly, and drag poor hard working people to Parkersburg, Otterksburg, Wheeling and Phillippi, put them in jail, where they know no one, and allow a certain set of U. S. Marshals to persuade them to plead guilty, for no other purpose than to make money? Rotton, and Wilbur H. Thomas, whose ouths are among the archives of the Department of Justice about Brown, Lemen and Tutt's rottenness is going to be looked up and a revelation be made. Will all decent people help stop it? Help, Almighty God help!
LIFE'S A FUNNY PROPOSITION AFTER ALL.
---
Did you ever sit and ponder, sit and wonder, sit and think,
Why we're here and what this life is all about?
It's a problem that has driven many brainy men to drink:
It's the wierdest thing they've tried to figure out,
About a thousand different theories all the scientists can show,
But never have proved a reason why
With all we've thought and all we've taught,
Why all we seem to know is we're born and live awhile and then we die.
Life's a very funny proposition, after all,
Imagination, jealousy, hypocrisy, and gall;
Three meals a day, a whole lot to say;
When you haven't got the coin you're always in the way.
Everybody's fighting as we wend our way along,
Ev'ry fellow claims the other fellow's in the wrong;
Hurried and worried until we're buried and there's no curtain call;
Life's a very funny proposition after all.
When all things are coming easy and when luck is with a man,
Why then life to hire is sunshine ev'rywhere.
Then the fates blow rather breezy and they quite upset a plan;
Then he'll cry that life's a burden hard to bear.
Though to-day may be a day of smiles, to-morrow's still in doubt,
And what brings me joy may bring you care and woe;
We're born to die, but don't know why,
Or what it's all about, and the more we try to learn these things the loss we know.
Life's a very funny proposition, you can bet,
And no one's ever solved the problem properly as yet:
Young for a day, then old and gray.
Like the rose that buds and blooms and fades and falls away,
Losing health to gain our wealth as thro't true dream we tour,
Everything's a guess and nothing absolutely sure;
Battle's exciting and fates we're fight-
ing until the curtain's fall.
Life's a very funny proposition after all.

From Far-Off South America
Continued from first page.
U. S. A., who are not worthy of their places in society, much less their citizenship, I am blocked. Such a man as Wm. Handibai Thomas, that mutato one armed ingrate, who, as he says, was a school teacher, writing such a hideous mess about little babies who were entrusted to his care, only shows the baseness of his own mind even bad such bean ever so true. West it such a man has seen your family physician, instead of a teacher of your children? You know the rest. But he tries to get on the other side of the fence and close the bars behind him, though I can inform the one armed Judas that he made a most miserable botch in the eyes of any really intelligent person, because he tells us plainly that he is a Negro, and then paints his race with unspeakable filth, neglecting that he had informed us that he was himself a Negro. Again, he says, "we white people," very unlike Miss Hemmings, of Boston, Mass., who, after passing through and gaining the highest honors of a female college which was forever opposed to the Negro race without even being suspected, had to acknowledged at the commencement that she was grateful for the favors shown her race, meaning the Negro race. But there was another funny feature about that Thomas episode, and that was, the first person affected by his cussiness was the daughter of Dr. Booker T. Washington at Wellesly College, in Massachusetts. This should have been a lesson to any other class but those fellows who thought that they could fool all the people all the time and escape. Oh! may the heavens ever rain blessings upon the head of Miss Hemmings, and this should give some evidence too that New England holds some of the fairest minds and fierest friends to the Negro race as well as to that of social progress. Notwithstanding all the insults which some of the Southern Negroes try to throw at them in praise of their white Southern friends. History speaks plainer in favor of Boston alone as a Negro heaven than it does for all the Southern states put together. I am only looking, listening and praying that you will some day come to the proper conclusions of true sociology. You all cry that your Southern friends are really the folks, but when in distress you run to Boston, the fountain of your liberty. Therefore I should advise you all; be careful and not drive away the holy spirit. They have not lynched in New England yet. I had a man to try try to tell me about how bad the English laws are to Negroes. I am very sure that that person knew less about the English laws than I did, or else he did not suspect how much I knew. Therefore I beg to remind you that notwithstanding a Negro in England is still a long way from heaven, I can candidly say that as far as the law of the land is concerned he is far more respectable than in any place in America, and just take my little tips as from a man who knows what he is talking about and would not have you delivered. I do not hold to all of England's rules, but she certainly treats them all alike under similar conditions. I have noticed many of Booker T. Washington's criticisms about England, but he can never find the perfect liberty in America which he is secured in England, or any other country under the same conditions, and with all your Southern Negro wealth you have not the freedom of a New England Negro, so let you
Thus to clinch the matter he tells you all to leave the cities and flee to the woods. Most beautiful advice in those days of light and progress. Behold the great difference between his leadership and that of Johnny Mitchell, Jr., of Richmond, Va. A man need not be usnamed of his identification with anything that Mr. Mitchell does, and further, behold the way Mr. Mitchell speaks for his race in every way. This proves that he is not a compromise, and has not accepted any bush money. What a great difference, Hey? Mr. Mitchell has even gone to the rescue of
Hou. Wm. H. Lewis, whom the Dr. Washington is credited with locating, and say, is Mr. Mitchell not respected by his white fellow citizens? If you only do right you need never fear. But if you do wrong you may always expect trouble. Now just a little more about the lazy man. It was the lazy man who became and generally is the great inventor of the world. It was Edison's leziness which first made him think, and to protect it he put his thoughts into action, and behold, what is the result? And so it is on down the line. Now I remember one woman who was industrious to a fault. This woman's kitchen floor was always cleaner than the tables of most other women. She actually worked too much, and she would rather scrub a floor than to read a letter. She would rather cook than sew. She could drive a nail in greater pleasure than write numbers. She was always in a hurry. So she did not have time to read books, yet she greatly admired the learnings of others. And the worst part of it, she was always in such a hurry that she never raised any children and this seemed the saddest of all. I learned too, that she liked to work so well that she could hardly be kept in school long enough to obtain the grammar school gradation. I wonder would such a woman have pleased those American idealists had she been a Negress and lived in America? I wonder if some great rich man would take compassion on her? I wonder if Mr. Washington would divide his wealth with her? Hold right here. I want to point out the truth to you. Robert Charles, of New Orleans, La., U. S. A., was an educated lawyer who lost his life because he resented the club of a policeman while standing talking to a friend, and did not run away at the sight of the buttons. Baker was assassinated for the serious crime of serving the people in a little post office. Booker Washington, the chief of industry was fiercely beaten in New York. And what more? Yet there may be some truth in all they say, only I cannot see it. You follows with your leather lawyer bags, you doctors, you store keepers, and you editors are really the lazy men, and still worse, your musicians and scientists. This all makes me slok. Still I am your most humble servant.
WOMEN IN UPLIFT WORK.
Auxiliary to New England Convention Aids Institutions and Individuals. The women's auxiliary to the New England Baptist missionary convention reported receipts for the year of $273.87 at the recent annual meeting in Orange, N. J. The work of the organization under the able leadership of the president, Mrs. E. B. Holland, for the past two years has steadily grown.
The auxiliary, besides assisting the general convention in various ways, does a large missionary and educational work. The institutions to which the organization gave financial assistance at the recent meeting were the Virginia Seminary, and College in Lynchburg, Va.; the Watchman Industrial school, Providence, R. k.; the Howard Orphanage and Industrial school, Kings Park, N. Y., and two institutions maintained for working girls. The Baptist mission work in Africa was given the sum of $25 and the general convention toward its missionary and educational work $50. Two widows were given $5 each. The members are loyal to the work, and each year an increase is noted in individual achievements. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows:
President, Mrs. E. B. Holland of Providence, R. I.; first vice president, Mrs. Wiley Seay of Brooklyn; second vice president, Mrs. Christina Harris of Stamford, Conn.; recording secretary, Mrs. Margaret L. Shepard of New York; corresponding secretary, Mrs. M. J. Glascoe of Providence; treasurer, Mrs. S. A. Harris of Brooklyn; executive board, Mrs. M. S. Tribbett and Mrs. A. Tribbett of Philadelphia; Mrs. Shepard and Mrs. Mattie V. Ellis of Hartford, Conn.; Mrs. Elvina Washington of Boston, Mrs. Julia O'Hagan of New York and Miss Lucy Washington of Orange.

Mrs. Marshall has watched over his

With a Jealous cure. ‘Chere has been

Mrs. Marshall bad the honor of be-
fing the first woman In Indiona to hold
an office She was appointed county
clerk of Stender county by her father
and held that office for a number of
years
When Governor Marshall and his
svife were about to be married she de-
cided that her Inst offictal act of the

Finge licenso. Governor Marshall ac
fcompunied his wife to the county

Big book and filled out the license and
‘watched her as she carefully signed

“Why, we are all fixed,” explained
Mrs. Marshall, pointing to the Heense.

‘men of the rece who accomplished

for the gospel ministry.

| quuilties and never resorted to the emo-
‘tonal side of Mfe in order to attract
attention or win faver for himsvit.
| Like most men who achieve great good
for humanity or any given cause, he

of this great man.
Dr. Shepard has not only bequeathed
