"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." The ESTABLISHED 1882 Mr. Jackson Hits Back Mr. Editor:—It has been so long since I engaged in a newspaper controversy that I had begun to feel that my utterances were attracting no attention. Now here comes Bro. W. J. Thompson boldly challenging my statements of the 21st. ult., with special reference to my Progressive predilections and my advocacy of Theodore Roosevelt. The honorable manly and intelligent manner in which the gentleman attacks my position makes it a very pleasant task to reply. Says he: Like many people in this country, Mr. Jackson does not seem to understand why the Progressive Party was organized. I very well know that it is the opinion of many that the party mentioned was brought into existence to gratify the ambition of Mr. Roosevelt. From a hasty surface view this would seem to be true, but if Bro. Thompson will take a deeper view and cast his mind's eye backward he will see that this storm had been gathering for the past five or six years. The unrest brought about by the encroachments of special privilege, the throttling of the government by the money powers, the juggling of the tariff to suit these people without regard to the feelings, wishes and interest of the common people all tended to bring about this revolt which wrecked the once glorious old republican party. Mr. Roosevelt and his friends went to Chicago last June to fight squarely and openly the battle for Progressive principles within the party. They went there not only backed up by many of the strongest publican states, but they had the son's share of Mr. Taft's own state. Ro. Thompson will hardly dispute the fact that wherever the people had the chance to give full and free expression to their will through direct primaries Mr. Roosevelt scored victory. But the fiat had gone forth, majority or no majority, Mr. Roosevelt shall not have the nomination. The principles for which stands, though demanded by the people, shall find no place in the platform of the so called republican party. That great apostle of special privilege, Senator Elibu Root, backed by the National Committee, had termined to throttle the will of the people and to force upon them a candidate whom they did not want. This is dangerous business as the fuel has shown. The people said: gentlemen, you have manipulated convention to suit yourselves, you cannot control our votes, and own went the old party to an ignominious defeat. Lee, we cheerfully grant that had Roosevelt received the nomination at the June convention there and have been no revolt by him or friends. And why? Simply answer with such nomination, there would have gone into the platformy Progressive principle for such be and his powerful friends valiantly and loyalty contending in the party. After such an exhibition of monumental stealing has given by that ill fated con- convention it is remarkable indeed that Mr. Taft was able to secure the few electoral votes that he did. True, Mr. Roosevelt's political sum may have gone down to rise no more, but the reforms for which he so courageously battled are living issues, which will be recognized and accepted before the old democratic party is dislodged from power. All of these good republicans that Mr. Thompson speaks of, who rather than see Mr. Roosevelt win, voted for Wilson, were certainly not attached very strongly to their candidate nor to the principles of the republican party for which he so strongly contended. Now, let us look the matter squarely in the face, divesting ourselves of all prejudice. Taft stood squarely for the classes—the special favored interests, while Roosevelt stood for those who by reason of their great wealth, claimed the divine right to rule regardless of the will of those who are the bread winners of the nation—regardless of those who in time of national danger are expected to take up arms and become targets for the enemies of their country. Why pray? should Mr. Roosevelt be regarded as an apostate because he refused to be bound hand and foot by the combined money powers who control the government and can tie up the country in a panic whenever it suits their fancy. Those who are acquainted with Mr. Roosevelt's record know that from the very beginning of his political career, he has fought the bosses with a stubbornness that was really remarkable. Reforms work slowly, and it could not be expected that in the brief space of seven years the evils of which the country complains could be entirely removed. However, he did well, and he did not appoint any rebels or Negro haters to high judicial positions either. Bro. Thompson says that the Progressive party with few exceptions is composed of that class of men who have had all they can reasonably expect at the hands of the Republican party and have started a new party in hope of getting a new lease on office. Here Bro. Thompson makes a fatal blunder. If you will closely examine the personnel of the Progressive leaders, the great majority of them will be found to be young and vigorous men whose political and official services have been quite brief. We instance Johnson, Beveridge, Glasscock—these with thousands of others of like faith make up the leading factors of the Progressive party. We come now to Bro. Thompson's last error, "I am" says he: "of the opinion Mr. Jackson is as much mistaken in taking the stand he does in favor of the downs and outs as he is in placing the late Senator Rayner in the class of Tillman and Vardaman." To use a common expression: All Negro haters "look alike to me"—at least from that common viewpoint. While I do not change my opinion as to Senator Rayner's hatred of the Negro, I certainly had no intention of classing him with the bombastic Tullman or the vulgar Vardaman. He did not advocate lynching nor did he in any of his eloquent utterances ever advocate advancement of the Negro. He was simply willing to tolerate him in a menial position. He opposed the PoC amendment not because he wanted the Negro to enjoy his full political rights, but because he knew that the Southern states were being held up to the scorn of the civilized world, and he did not want his state to be so regarded. As I intimated before, his great legal talent, his statesmanship put him far and away ahead of Tullman and Vardaman and thus made him far more dangerous than these political misfits. We believe we are better acquainted with the political record of the late Senator than is Bro. Thompson, and that the readers of the Pioneer Press will think so, too, we have no doubt. J W Jackson. Frosburg, Md. From Far-Off South America From Far-Off South America --- My Dear Editor:—I owe you many thanks indeed. You're of both the 21st and 28th of Sept., duly and gladly received. I have also passed them on to others, who have just finished praising the Pioneer Press, by saying it was very good only there should be more of it, and news upon general topics with all news about the country and people. I told them that you could better tell why it was not as they thought it might be, and that I was doing what I could on both ends to help bring about some general, if not special relations between you. One of my friends said that after this year he should like to become a contributor to some of your very interesting journals. This friend is one of the most noted young men in this part of the country as a master, professor and teacher of the Portuguese language. He is a full blood Negro, and has much interest in the history of America. I was surprised to have him tell me things about men and things there which I knew very little about. He also showed me the outs of several of the most noted colored men in America. He can not understand how it is that these men do not enjoy all the privileges of any American. He wanted me to tell him about it as the books and papers which he had seen, only spoke of it as a fact, but gave little or no information of why it was or the reason that such men as those would stand for any such boycotting. I simply told him that it was a very long story, and one which I thought that some of you would be able to give a more just publication than I. Another of my colored friends asked me if I knew of a good colored peoples' magazine or paper which would give definite and complete information upon the subject? and I was very sorry to admit that I did not. I told him that I supposed that you would publish the names of all the leading journals from which he could choose. Well I know that it looks like abusing your good nature to ask for space in your very interesting little organ; but ask yourself sir, what good is a paper among any people if not to help them to higher things by giving them certain infor- Press. mation? I will say furthermore that it is actually your duty to secure thoughts and things from every part of the world and hand to your readers, thus making your article just what the name implies. I hope you will forgive me for all my boldness, but I feel that it is necessary, and will say too, that it is the greatest pity in the world that in no walk or life can you all seem to agree long enough to do good for your race. It is shameful to read that you all forget the vital things of your race while fighting among yourselves over white men and their politics, and none of them seem to bother much about you after they are elected. If you would use half as much force in getting a plank in the platforms as you do in fighting one another over them after the white men have made them altogether for their benefit, it would be better for you. It is such a pity that colored men can not believe that another can differ in opinion and yet be as honest as themselves. Negroes must learn to tolerate all kinds of thouhls among their people. A man can be honest and yet not see things as you or I. Negroes have been too much of one mind. They need some difference in thought among them, and when matters seriously concern the race you should drop all your petty differences until the complaint has been completely remedied. Now I did not sit down to say just what I have already said, but I hope that it will do you no harm. Negroes are too jealous to prosper, so let us get down to something for general good, if it doesn't benefit our generation, it may help a future one. Let us help the children to do better than what we have done and are doing. What I speak to you about I was attracted by just a short while ago. In Lagos, Africa, it seems that when the King made deed to England long ago he said nothing about private ownerships, and neither did the private owners say anything about their rights. Now after many years England seems to see fit not to recognize any private ownership, and the natives can show no paper of whatever kind to prove how they really became owners of their estates under any government what ever. Thus they seemed very apt to loose all they had. You may know more about this matter though than I, since you belong to the Associated Press of the world and evidently have your own reporters even down in Africa. But I refer to this as an example of how colored people are losing all over the world by clamoring for this thing or that thing and leaving their own business for other people to attend to. You people have been and are now doing a similar thing in America. How in heavens do you all ever expect to get up that way? It is a shame indeed. UNBRIBED BY GAIN." 1913. VOL. 31. NO. 44 Anecdotal Literature By W. G. Again, there existed untold riches among certain Negroes in the land called Rhodesia, South Africa. This as you know is the great land of diamonds, and about 50 or 75 years ago any amount of diamonds were found there, possibly enough to pay for the freedom of all the slaves in all the other parts of the world. But instead of those Negroes taking those stones which they could fairly rake up from the ground, (they were so plentiful), and going to the Euro- Continued on second page. VOL. 31. NO. 44 B Y W. G. THE REPORTER'S TASK. A newspaper man was talking about the difficulties of a reporter's life. "A kind of intuition,—a kind of mind reading," he said, "is essential to successful reporting." Two business men were talking at a club. "Did you tell that reporter not to announce that you were a candidate for the heritalty" said the first. The other looked up from his journal gloomily. "Yes," he answered, but the durn fool never put it in his paper." THE CROOKED WAY. District Attorney Whitman of New York was talking about the sad case of a western banker who had stolen a great sum of money from his depositors. "The man," said Mr. Whitman, "lived beyond his means—motor cars, a house with eleven baths, son at college, daughter coming out, and wife hungry for diamonds. The inovitable result, of course, followed." Smiling Mr. Whitman added, "The unfortunate man got straightened, so he became crooked." PRELIMINARY FIGHT "What is going on?" asked the terrified stranger in Central America. 'Revolution,' replied the man in the uniform. "Who is leader of the rebels?" "Don't know yet. That's what this fight is about." THE TWO WAY8. A hunter of the old school, who lives among the foothills of the Alleghanies, was teased into making a wager of $10 that his autogated gun would shoot a bullet through a railroad cross tie. The old hunter was confident of winning, as he had teated his gun on cross ties, of hickory, oak, and even rosewood. The test was to be decided in the lumber yard back of the depot. The old hunter arrived at that place in advance of the others. He arranged several of the thickest cross-ties for the test by standing them against piles of lumber with their flat sides forward. Imagine his astonishment, if you can, when the man with whom he had made the bet, upon arriving, exclaimed: "Flatways! Are you daffy, man? Turn them endways!" The hunter of the old school lost. SIGNS OF APPROVAL. Bob,—"So you, Jack, you will propose to that young lady?" Jack:—"Yes indeed." Bob—"Do you think you would be acceptable to her parents?" Jack:—"I am sure of it. They have frequently invited me to dinner, and they invariably have fried chicken and ice cream." \*\* POLITICAL PARTINGS "The campaign soon will slip away, The contest will be over.

One thousand sword fish were caught in ten days in August by Nova Scotia fishermen, one ship bringing in five tons. As a consequence the market was glutted, and some sales were made as low as two cents a pound. Fishing is increasing in Nova Scotia waters to the extent that recently a million dollar corporation, known as the North Atlantic Fisheries, Limited, was organized. Holland is an extensive exporter of fish, especially to Belgium. The latter's total imports of fish and mussels for the first six months of 1911 aggregated $1,228,740, an increase of $66,349 over the same period last year. Imports of fish by weight in the first half of this year totaled 6,518,500 kilos (kilo, 2.2 pounds). Dutch herring figuring at 2,536,128 kilos. Mussels from Holland are also much in demand in Belgium, the imports for the month of June alone being 1,789,017 kilos. She Says We're Much Too Slender. A Russian princess who is now in Washington has created a commotion in social circles by criticising the American women for being much too thin. "American women of good breeding are slender to the point of emaciation," says the princess. "They hurry too much, that is the reason. Everywhere you see the American, whether she is going shopping, visiting or elsewhere, she is moving fast, as if she did not have a second to lose." The princess doesn't seem to realize that just now the one aim of the American woman is the extreme slenderness which she finds so unlovely. 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. I.; 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. DR J. McO SIMPSON. Forty and more years ago, there lived in this community a very remarkable character in the person of Dr. Joshua McCarty Simpson. He was a man of unusual endowments, both mentally and physically. He had in a large degree the poetic temperament. The Rhythmic sense was greatly developed in him. In speaking of it himself, he said: I wrote in verse because I could best express my thoughts that way. His means for obtaining an education were exceedingly limited—two or three terms in the country school of that day and a term or two at Oberlin College. He was a lay minister in the Baptist Church. Also a Botanist Physician. He was best known as a Physician. In the great anti-slavery movement he was an exceedingly zealous worker. He neither spared time, money, nor himself in his efforts for the welfare of his people. He labored for them in season and out of season. Luke many another good man, his motives were sometimes impugned, and he suffered from the jealousy, envy and spite of smaller and unscrupulous rivals. Up to the date of his death April 20, 1877, he was the undisputed leader of his people in this community. The writer can never forget the port that Dr. McC Simpson took in one of the large Emancipation Celebrations that was held here at Gant's Grove in 1872. Following as near as I can remember, a splendid oration by Peter H. Clark, of Cincinnati, Ohio, he took the American dog and stepping to the front of the platform, waved it vigorously, and lastly led in singing his famous song: It was a memorable occasion. In the early 70's he published a volume of his verses. As a physician his practice was large and extensive, and was by no means confined to his own people. When attending the Centennial Exposition in 1876, he ate some shell fish for dinner and was made deathly sick thereby. He never recovered from the attack. Some thought he was poisoned by jealous professional rivals; his son thought it was from his manner of the treatment of diseases; but from what we now know of plumme poisoning, it would appear that that was the cause of his sickness and consequent death. On his office table among other papers, after his death, was found his last poem, which may appropriately be termed his Swann song: Pray, tell me, what is life? Just raise and think.
