The Pioneer Press. "HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN" ESTABLISHED 1882. Clement Sets Fleischer Right "No man can enslave the soul of another man against the will of the enslaved one," said the eloquent Rabbi Charles Fleieober, the other day, at the Cambridge Negroes' celebration of emancipation. Continuing, he said: "That, it seems to me, is a perfectly obvious psychological fact for the average Negro to realize. You no longer wear the chains of bondage. Fortunately for us white folks, even more fortunately than for you, those chains have been struck off; but if you are still enslaved, the chains are of your own forging and welding." Perhaps Dr. Fleischer would maintain—he must in consistency—that all the petty prejudices and discriminations against the Jews in this country, objections to their propinquity in select residential quarters, to any prominence in certain summer resorte, to their admission to membership in social clubs, such as President Taft very handsomely went out of his way to rebuke in the National Capital and in the United States army; mean, sneaking, little lingering survivals of the barbarities practiced against Jews in the Middle Ages, and still in vogue in mediaeval civilizations, like Russia and Turkey that all these invisible, imponderable chains, not so light even in this country, but that they may be made embarrassing and harassing and even heart breaking to sensitive souls, are of the Jews' own forging and welding. Those of no Christians whose inberited faith goes to the length of applied Christianity cannot dismiss the matter so easily. Think how little avail bravery, defiance, struggle, wrestling, against social ostracism. In general, the stiffer the fight the victim puts up, the more hopeless his case becomes. Neither is the victim helped by patience, self effacement, high conduct, much better than by scorn and combat. The withes that bind are intangible, the enemy is not to be come at, face to face, by the boldest man. The tests of character, of intelligence, the appeal to reason and truth in argument are made of little account. There is a "sinking of the heart" such as everybody has experienced at one time and another, and which is the settled lot of despised peoples, and which, like some obscure ailment of the stomach, comes on from trifling causes. The strongest man is "knocked out" by any trouble at the stomach. But how immeasurably more crippling the sick soul! Especially for struggle against wounds to self respect, how much more vitally, necessary is the untremeled soul — E H. Clament, great Boston friend of the Negro and humanity. DEFENCELESS SOUTHERN NEGRO GIRLS. Coahoma, Mise., March 28 —Another shocking outrage has been committed in the Southland. A young girl 18 years old, had to leave her home and her mother to escape the brute like loot of a Southern white gentleman(?). The story runs this way. For you a family had lived here and became prosperous. There were five children, three boys and two girls. As they grew up they were sent to school. Recently the young lady graduated and returned home to live. But she was not the same little girl that went away to school; now she was a woman, tall and stately, and after getting off the train she was picked out as the prey of a relentless demon She received a note every hour of the day and night to go out and meet the sender at a place that he had selected. But all his advances were repulsed and then the gentleman?) got mad. He then went to her mother with the threat that if the girl did not meet him he would shoot them both, or burn the house down over their heads while they slept. The mother accompanied the girl when she kept the appointment. Upon their return home it was decided to send the girl away and she got safely out of town. But her tormentor soon missed her and threatened her mother with death if she was not back home by April 15. To those who think the above an exaggeration, they are assured the editor of the Herald knows of cases equally barrowing. One such happened in Chicago a few years ago —when the girl's own father came at the behest and on the money of the white seducer, bad his son arrested for stealing the 15 year old daughter out of the State, and would have carried her back but for the intervention of the State Attorney's Office through F. L. Barnett. The foe of the white slave traffic would have their hands full if they would look after the hundreds of Southern colored girls who are sacrificed yearly to the last of white men.—Fellowship Herald. GORGEOUS SPECTACLE Will Be Historical Pageant at Wheeling During Semi-Centennial Celebration. Visitors at West Virginia's Semi-Centennial celebration at Wheeling June 15 21, will have opportunity of reviewing one of the most spectacular and gorgeous night pageants ever seen in America. This affair will be the historical pageant which is to feature the exercises of Tuesday, June 17. Practically every city in West Virginia will be represented in this parade by a float, depicting the historical events of the state as they are centralized in the different cities. Around every city, village and hamlet in West Virginia are grouped stirring scenes, which, reproduced in tableaux in such a pageant as is planned, would form a thrilling and instructive number. The commercial organizations and city officials in each city of the state have been asked to cooperate in this affair, and assurances have already been received that a great many cities will be represented. The pageant will be led by the Ship of State, bearing Uncle Sam and Columbia, who will have an escort of a Legion of 50 Golden Stars on a horseback, each star representing one year in the history of our state. Another interesting float in this procession will be the Car Triumphant, which will be done in white and gold and be representative of the present day prosperity attained through perseverance and endure W. H. PAGE IS WELL KNOWN IN ENGLAND New Ambassador Has Had Literary Career. New York.—Walter H. Page, the new ambassador to the court of St. James, is a southerner. He was born in the village of Cary, N. C., in 1855 and was graduated from Randolph Macon college in the spring of 1876, after which he pursued postgraduate studies at Johns Hopkins university. He was one of the first fellows of the latter university when it opened in the fall of 1876, having won a Greek scholarship under Dr. Basil L. Glidersleeve. For a number of years he was president of the New York Alumni association of the university. Having chosen a literary career, he fell naturally into journalism and magazine work. For the Atlantic Monthly he wrote a society study of the old southern borough, which led to his obtaining an enragement to travel through the south as a correspondent of the Boston Post, the Springfield Republican and the New York World. The sociological problems of the south especially engaged his attention, and he later delivered a series of lectures on these toples at Harvard university. In 1890 Mr. Page became editor of the Forum, and it was due to his vigorous editorial policy that this magazine was made successful after having failed to pay anything on the investment for several years. In the course of his work as editor of the Forum Mr. Page became one of the best known litterateurs in the United States, and his writings attracted the attention of European men of letters. From 1895 to 1899 Mr. Page was the Literary editor and adviser for the publishing firm of Houghton, Mifflin & Co. and for the next three years was the editor of the Atlantic Monthly, to which magazine he had been a contributor for years. Since 1900 he has been the editor in chief of the World's Work and has been a member of the publishing firm of Doubleday, Page & Co. The new ambassador has a wide acquaintance among men of letters and science in England and is an intimate friend of many contemporary English statesmen. His selection by President Wilson is considered a happy one and is on a par with those previously suggested—President Emeritus Elliot of Harvard university and Richard Obey of Massachusetts. Mr. Page is the author of "The Rebuilding of Old Commonwealth" and is a member of the University and National Arts clubs. His home is in Garden City. In 1880 he married Miss Alice Wilson, the daughter of Dr. William Wilson of Ann Arbor, Mich. They have several children. Mrs. Page has always been a woman of domestic tastes. Dons First Socks at Forty-nine Leavenworth.—Andrew Allen, forty-nine years old, has had the experience of wearing his first pair of socks. It was not of Allen's own choosing that he donned the socks. An official of the Kansas state penitentiary stood over him while he took off a pair of rubber boots, the only kind of footwear he has been accustomed to use. CABINED WATERPLANE MIGHT CROSS OCEAN British Expert Describes Best Type of Air Craft. London.—Harold Short, a pioneer in the use of the British waterplane, when asked his opinion concerning the type of machine likely to make the transatlantic flight, replied: "About twice the size of the present type of waterplane, twin engines each of 200 horsepower, tanks inside the body to carry 480 gallons of petrol, enough for twelve hours' flying, and 160 gallons of lubricating oil, a cabin with a sleeping bunk, food lockers and a wireless telegraph installation. "She would travel sixty-five miles an hour under favorable conditions, and with two stops at depot ships during the voyage to fill up her petrol tanks she would fly from Newfoundland to the west coast of Ireland in thirty hours." The flight, he thinks, would best be made from west to east, so as to take advantage of the prevailing westerly winds. Two days of fine weather would be enough for it. The air man would travel at a height of 6,000 feet. If one of the engines failed at that height the waterplane would cover 100 miles before touching water and could then go along the surface to the nearest depot ship. If both engines failed she could call a liner with her wireless installation. WOMEN CONTROL TYRO. Elect the Mayor and a Majority of the Council In the Kansas Town. Tyro, Kan.-The election of a woman mayor and a majority of women in the council of Tyro is assured by complete election returns. Mrs. H. C. Defenbaugh was elected mayor, Mrs. E. F. Herring, Mrs. Myra Newton and Mrs. Maggie Park were elected to the council. The women's ticket was designated Independent on the ballot and competed with Progressive and Citizens' tickets. The women's platform called for a "clean up" of the town, better street lighting and an annual audit of town books. GOLF LINKS IN SKYSCRAPER. Charles R. Crane Has Nine Hole Course In Chicago Building. Chicago.—Charles it. Crane, who may be appointed to a post in the diplomatic service by President Wilson, is a golf enthusiast to such an extent that he has just completed a nine hole course on the twelfth floor of the Crane building. The course was laid out by Tom Vardon of the Spring Lake (N, J) club, who is also in charge of it. The course has sand covered putting greens and hazards. The foundation is of burlap. Pulls the Wrong Tooth. Chicago.—Is a tooth worth $1,000? What is its value? These are two questions that will have to be answered by a jury in the municipal court when the case of Miss Madeline C. Henry against George W. Nevins, a dentist, is called for trial. Miss Henry filed suit charging that she went to the doctor's office and asked to have a wisdom tooth pulled. Instead the doctor pulled the wrong tooth, she alleges Bears Twenty-four Pounds of Twins. Alpena, Mich. - With the birth of twin sons to Mr. and Mrs. John Ladouse the record for large children was broken in Alpena. Each child weighed twelve pounds. The parents are of average size. Mrs. Ladouse is twenty-eight years old and is the mother of five other children. FIRST CHILD Born in West Virginia a Parkersburg Woman. On June 20 at 12 o'clock noon, West Virginia will be exactly 50 years old. This event of course will be fittingly celebrated all over the state, the celebration centering at Wheeling. Of interest in this connection is the fact that Mrs. Lucy (Knopp) Gardner, now living at Parkersburg, was probably the first child born in West Virginia. Her birth occurred simultaneously with the birth of the state on June 20, 1863, near Point Pleasant, Mason county. If it is found that Mrs. Gardner was the first child born in the new state, she will be asked to attend and take a prominent part in the celebration at Wheeling. NO. 8 Anecdotal Literature BY W. G. REVERSING SYLLABLES. The following amusing incident occurred in a primary school in North Carolina about the middle of the fiftees. The teacher called up the junior spelling class. The lessons consisted of words of two syllables, among which was the word potash, and it fell to little Helen to spell it. She began: p,o,t—pot, s, a,h—ash, and then hesitated. "Well," said the teacher, "pronounce it." And in a clear and loud voice, little Helen pronounced it Ashpot. The teacher broke out in a loud laugh in which the scholars joined hastily. [Note: The little girl was W. G's daughter, now 63 years of age.] * * o NOT Y1T. Mayor 'Gaynor, discussing at a Brooklyn dinner party the efficacy of prayer, emiled and said: 'There are some people who are too impatient and cynical over the matter of prayer. They are like little Tommy." "Pa," said little Tommy, "you know Jim and Horace? Well, pa, Jim and Horace say their prayers every night, and ask God to make 'em good boys." 'How nice' said the father. "How nice!" 'But,' said Tommy, "God ain't done it yet." ALWAYS WITH U8 Representative Pujo, condemning reckless finance at a dinner in Washington, said: "The fool—and especially the financial fool—the fool who wrecks banks, and creates panics—we have always with us. It's like the case of the stump speaker, who shouted one freezing winter night." "Where is now the fool who rocked the boat all summer?" "He's down on the pond," answered a voice: "down on the pond trying to see how near he can skate to the danger line." RAIN OR SHINE Wm. Jennings Bryan, looking up from a dish of crabs in Baltimore, told a reporter that a certain pseudoprogressive resembled Washington White. "On the outskirts of Lincoln," he continued, "I was caught in a storm one day, and took shelter in a one-story cottage, that leaked abominably. My host, Washington White, apologized for the leak, and I said to him: 'But, Washington, why don't you patch the place?' "Well, yo see, your honor," said he, "when it's a rainin', I can't do it, and when it's clear, it won't need doin', so I just naturally leave it alone." THE GROUNDHOG Oh! the groundhog and the mole. Each crawled out slowly from the hole. And devery time the mole did sneeze. The groundhog said, six moths more.

SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1913 From the signs of the times, we practiced that Woodrow Wilson, before his four years rue out, will widen he had remained at the head of Princeton, or contented himself by being governor of New Jersey. Not a tear have we in shed over the fact that President Wilson will not give Ex. Assistant U. S. Attorney Lewis a fitting job. Guess if he sees how he has treated Mr. Russell, his positional creator, he could not be encouraged to do much if anything for him—just as well. If Charlea S. Melieu, President of the New Haven Railroad be indicted and convicted for manslaughter in the wreck last October at Wesport, Conn., the penalty being from eight to fifteen years in the penitentiary, it will make others look closer after the safety in travel and regulation of their roads. ```markdown ``` A preacher who is not little and narrow, a preacher who is upright and does not lie, a preacher who does not backhate and practice deceit, a preacher who is not envious and full of dirty tricks, is an honor to both his church and the race and will always be respected by men.—Tri-State News. The attempted jum crow bill of Illinois, known as the Campbell bill, "died abnorm" in the legislature. Southern folks had as well learn first as last, that they'll never carry their jim crowism in the North and West, and they may as well conclude that it is not going to live forever in the South. The Southern District of the United States Court has done away with the fire system and put the marshals on a regular salary. Following that there will not be as much illicit distilling and boot legging in the future as there have been in the past. We hope the contagious and that the Northern District will catch it and fall in line and save itself of a diagnosis that must follow certain proceedings. Talk off you choose about opposition to the Negroes and do nothing youselves, and it will surround to nothing. If our girls and boys have nothing to do, its your own fault. Why don't you go into some kind of business, and in that business put your soul and ice courtesies in it, and make places for them? All other receivers do it, and so most we God helps them, and only them, who help themselves, and this we must decide upon, once for all, and go on to the good. Nebraska, share on her has taken a backward step, in that she has enacted legislation criminal to and suviveive of the rights of her colored citizens. Instead of trying to humiliate Negroes, the great commonwealth referred to above, ought to be setting a premium on those among them, and encouraging them to do their level best toward keeping alongside of their followers of every nationality. In the end, enough N tracks and not the Negroes will be harmed. With the Mexican situation occupying his attention, the anti Japanese demonstrations in California, and the new tariff bill demanding excutiny now and then, President Wilson has his hands full. He does not seem to be tiring of his duties though, and goes about his work in a manner that clearly shows he is thoroughly appreciative of his responsibilities as Chief Executive of this Nation. ```markdown ``` We call attention to the advertisement of the West Virginia Colored Institute Summer School, which appears in another column. When this summer school first began, it was, individually an experiment, but it has now become a permanent fixture, and as a means of better equipping teachers and other desirable of improvement, it is second to none in this country among Negroes. For further information, follow the dictates of the advertisement in the current number of the Press. Although they whooped it up for Wilson and Marshall last fall, and were also along in their labors for their party as any other contingent in it, the Negro Democrats are yet on the outside of the political counter. Things may change in the near future though, a condition which the blacks are looking forward to with great pleasure. Along this line of thought, it might be added that to date not a single Negro has connected himself with a position through the medium of President Woodrow Wilson. ```markdown ``` The special grand jury that was called for the purification of the morals of this city, did well the duty. Never had a grand jury done a better service for Martinsburg. When women get so low so put them selves on the market and sell their loathful nature to live, and the officials condone it, and the courts allow it, the former ought to be recalled and the latter impeached.

If this were so, every man, woman and child in America would be assured a fair chance in the race of life. While we are neither a prophet nor the son of one, it is a belief with us that the Hon. William Sutzar has greater honors awaiting him than those he now enjoys. In conclusion, we might add, in all candor, that the wish is the father to the thought. ```markdown ``` Very often we good lawyers, doctors, barbers and even others are at first hand at home, but some new ones whose names go abroad through preflight advertising, and too of our services are paid by the home folks. For years, the Pioneer Press tried to forewarn, first our home service, the State and the country at large of a probable bloody war in the cause of American prejudice. God don't want his children to do act, and constant warnings have occurred and will continue to, till the end comes, and we be to that end. Eudently the beginning of that end is on us, for Japan has exactly what she has long waited and we need for—cause for war, and insured for her people by America is the cause. Other nations have it for America and no corner than Japan opens the they will bribe, rouse and wrestle their manse. Assemblyman Levy, of New York, is the author of an amendment to New York's Civil Rights Law, that makes it practically impossible for any discriminations to be practiced upon citizens of that State on account of race or color. From the name Levy, it would appear that the sponsor of the amendment for mentioned in a Jew. This having the case, it would readily appear to the seeing individual, that the interests of Jews and Negroes are one in common as regards discrimination, and that fact doubled retracted him in putting in some hard work for his amendment. ```markdown ``` While it is a bad thing for miners and other laborers to cause and carry on strikes, there certainly are causes calculated to lead up to such conditions, end opposition may bring matters to a peaceful and legislative finish for the good of all concerned.

How aburd' for rich corporations to not only have comp any stores, but compel men to work six weeks before getting pay, and then only pay for one month and hold ten weeks pay back. During all this time their only resource for supplies is through the company stores. Is this right? No! and no again! That every poor laborer, whether he uses family to support or not, should be paid worthly for his work is true, and the next legislature should ensure no law.

BURLESON TELLS OF HIS PLANS New Postmaster General Declares He Will Run Things as Much on Strictly Business Lines as Possible—Declines to Comment on Government Monopoly in Carrying Small Packages. Washington.—Postmaster General Albert S. Burleson has outlined his plans for the work of the postoffice department. "This is a big business institution, one of the biggest in the government, and it should be administered for the best interests of the people," said Mr. Burleson. "I want the department administered on business lines, but in such a way as will be of the greatest service to the people. "One of the first things I propose to do is to appoint a commission to consist of the first, second, third and fourth assistant postmasters general © 2003 by American Press Agency © 1913, by American Press Association. ALBERT S. LUMBLESSON. and the chief clerk of the department to make a thorough investigation of the postal service. "They will be directed to ascertain whether the greatest efficiency is being secured and where the service needs improvement. They will also seek to ascertain whether the department is actually self sustaining or whether there is a deficit. "With this information in hand we will proceed to administer the affairs of the department with the view to giving the people the best service, although I would also like to be able to say at the end of my term that the postal service is really well supporting. "The parcel post system presents many problems which must be met and solved. The postmaster general is given latitude to change rates and classifications and regulations for the operation of the service, and I shall expect to make improvements as the need is made plain. "This service is of tremendous interest to the people everywhere, and I want to make it of the widest use in bringing the producers and consumers closer together and facilitate the handling of small parcels at low cost." Asked if he believed the government had a monopoly under the law in the carrying of small parcels and should insist upon its monopoly, Mr. Darleson decided to comment. "The work of the second assistant postmaster general's office is of great importance in this connection, as that office handles the questions of railway mail pay, the number and size of mail cars required for the transportation of mail matter and the problems connected with contracts for this service."

Ogden, Utah.—With what appear to be prehistoric hieroglyphics carved on its walls, a mammoth cave rivalling the famous cave of Kentucky was discovered in this vicinity by Thomas Whitaker, a rancher, who will later lead a party of University of Utah professors on a tour of investigation. The cave is located in the mountains near Promontory point, eighteen miles from Ogden, and has probably never been visited by white men, as the surrounding country is a bleak desert. The trout chamber of the series is 75 by 150 yards, 41 feet high, and the walls bear motifs of Indians crudely drawn. There is an Italian legend current in the locality to the effect that a great battle was fought years ago between two tribes near the point, the venge- ished having perished in a ma- moth cave. $3,000,000 FOR A FAMILY.

Under the terms of one of the strangest wills ever filed in a New England court Miss Shedd will lose about $600,000 unless she marries and has children. When this became known the young woman was deluged with marriage proposals. The offers of marriage continue to arrive, but it is rumored that the daughter of the late millionaire perfume manufacturer, Freeman B. Shedd of Lowell, made her choice some time ago. This will save overburdened lector carriers. CUPID WORKS BY CABLE "Will You?" Says He In Japan—"Yes," Quath Sha in Kansas. Kansas City, Mo.-Last year Miss Ruth' Bookwalter of Kansas City, Kou, and Arthur Humnell of Indianapolis were students together at Oberlin college. They knew each other pretty well. Humnell went to Kobe, Japan, to teach. Then these cablegrams were exchanged: "Bookwalter, Kansas City, Kan. Will you?" "Humnell, Kobe, Japan. Yes." "Bookwalter, Kansas City, Kan. Hilarious." Now they are going to know each other much better. FUGE WHITE NOOSE intelligen Tab This Animal This Seattle, Wash. — The skin and head of a magnificent pure white moose arrive here from Cordova, Alaska. The stibino moose was killed on Kenai peninsula by Ezra Higgins, a trapper and hunter. The Thinket Indians cherished an old tradition that this or a similar white moose was the spirit of an Indian indian, the daughter of a beloved child. One winter day the girl left the village for a visit to another and became bewildered in a blizzard and was never seen again. After the great storm had passed over searching parties went into the ravines of Kenai peninsula to search for the maiden. When in the woods a beautiful snow white moose sprang out of a tinkletot and dashed away. Year after year the Indians have worshipped the albino moose, and from time to time the animal has been seen. Now that an albino has been killed the Indians will miss it unless, as many hunters think, there are several in that section. The mounted skin will be placed in the university museum.
