THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. VOLUME VIII. America's Racial Problem Sensibly Discussed by an Able English Author. B. C. Wee in Harpor a Weekly I seem to find the same hatiness and something of the same note of harshness that strike me in the cases of MacQueen and Gorky in America's treatment of her colored population. I am aware how intolerate, how multitudinous, the aspects of this enormous question have become but looking at it in the broad and true man I have proposed for myself in these papers, it does seem to present many practical elements. There is the same drop-off towards an indeterminate verb, the same disregard of proportion as between small evils and great ones, the same inference to the fact that the question does not stand alone, but is a part, and this time by no means small part, in the working out of America's destinies. In relation to the colored population, just as in relation to the great and growing accumulations of unassimilated and increasingly unpopular Jews, and to the great and growing multitudes of Roman Catholics whose special education contrudicts at so many points those conceptions of individual judgment and responsibility upon which America relies, I have attempted time after time to get some answer from the Americans I have met to what is to me the most obvious of questions. "Your grandchildren and the grandchildren of these people will have to live in this country side by side; do you propose, do you believe it possible, that they should be living then in just the same relations that you and those people are living now; if you do not, then what relations do you propose shall exist between them?" It is not too much to say that I have never once had the beginnings of an answer to this question. Usually one is told with great gravity that the problem of color is one of the most difficult that we have to consider, and the conversation then breaks up into discursive anecdotes and statements about black people. One man will dwell upon the uncontrollable violence of a black man's civil passions (in Jamaica and Barbados colored people form an overwhelming proportion of the population, and they have behaved in an exemplary manner for the last thirty years); another will dilate upon the incredible stupidity of the full-blooded negro (during my stay in New York the prize for oratory at Columbia University, oratory which was the one redeeming charm of Daniel Webster, was awarded to a Zulu of unmitigated blackness); a third will speak of his physical offensiveness, his peculiar amell which necessitates his social isolation (most well-to-do Southerners are brought up by negro "mammies"); others again will enter upon the painful history of the years that followed the war, though it seems a foolish thing to let those wrecks of the past dominate the outlook for the future. And one charming southern lady expressed the attitude of mind of a whole class very completely, I think, when she said, "You have to be one of us to feel this question at all as it ought to be felt." There, I think, I get something tautable. There emotions are a cult. My globe-trotting impudence will seem, no doubt, to mount to its zenith when I declare that hardly any Americans at all seem to be in possession of the elementary facts in relation to this question. These broad facts are not taught, as of course they ought to be taught, in school, and what each man knows is packed up by the accidents of his own untrained observation, by conversation always tinctured by personal prejudice, by hastily read newspapers and magazine articles and the like. The quality of this discussion is very variable, but on the whole pretty low. While I was in New York opinion was very much awayed by an article in, if I remember slightly, the Century Magazine, by a gentleman who had deduced from a few weeks' observation in the slums of Khartoum the entire incapacity of the negro to establish a civilization of his own. He never had, therefore never could; a discouraging ratification. We English a century ago said all these things of the native Irish. If there is any trend of opinion at all in this matter at present, it lies in the direction of a generous decision on the part of the North and West to leave the black more and more to the judgment and mercy of the white people with whom he is locally associated. This judgment and mercy points, on the whole, to an accentuation of the colored man's natural inferiority, to the cessation of any other educational TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DEG. 21. 1906. attempts than those that increase his industrial usefulness (it is already illegal in Louisiana to educate him above a contemptible level), to his industrial exploitation through usury and legal checine, and to a systematic strengthening of the social barriers between colored people of whatever shade and the whites. Menawhile, in this state of general confusion, in the absence of any determining rules or assumptions, all sorts of things are happening—according to the accidents of local feeling. In Massachusetts you have people with, I am afraid, an increasing sense of sacrifice to principle, lunching and dining with people of color. They do it less than they did I was told. Massachusetts stands, I believe, at the top of the scale of tolerant humanity. One seems to teach the bottom at Springfield, Missouri, which is a county seat with a college, an institute, a high school, and ecological garden there—the exemplary method teaches the major last April three unfortunate nurses were burnt to death, apparently because they were necroos, and as a general conjective of imperfection, they can have been innocent of any particular offence. It was a sort of racial increment. The edified Sunday school children hurried from their gospel teaching to search for souvenirs among the ashes, and competed with great spirit for a fragment of charred skull. It is true that in this latter case Governor Folk acted with vigor and justice, and that the better element of Springfield society was evidently shocked when it was found that quite innocent negroes had been used in these instructive pyrotechnics; but the fact remains that a large and numerically important section of the American public does think that fierce and cruel reprisals are a necessary part of the system of relationship between white and colored man. In our dispersed British community we have almost exactly the same range between our better attitudes and our worse—I'm making no claim of national superiority. In London, perhaps, we outdo Massachusetts in liberality; in the National Liberal Club or the Reform a black man meets with all the courtesies of humanity—as though there was no such thing as color. But, on the other hand, the Cape won't bear looking into for a moment. The same conditions give the same results; a half educated white population of British or Dutch or German ingredients greedy for gain, all controlled and feebly influenced, in contact with a black population, is bound to reproduce the same brutal and stupid aggressions, the same half honest precepts to justify those aggressions, the same ugly, mean excuses. "Things are better in Jamaica and Barbados," said I, in a moment of patriotic weakness, to Mr. Booker T. Washington. "Ehl!" said he, and thought in that long silent way he has. . . . "They are worse in South Africa—much Here we've got a sort of light. We know generally what we've got to stand. There—" His words sent my memories back to some conversations I had quite recently with a man from a dry goods store in Johannesburg. He gave me clearly enough the attitude of the common white out there; the dull prejudice; the readiness to take advantage of the "boy" and the utter disrespect for colored womankind; the savage, intolerant resentment, dished dangerously with fear, when the native raises his head. (Think of all that must have happened in wrongful practice and wrongful law and neglected educational possibilities before our Zulus in Natal were guided to face massacre, spear against rifle!) The rare and culminating result of education and experience is to enable men to grasp facts, to balance justly among their fluctuating and innumerable aspects, and only a small minority in our world is educated to the pitch. Ignorant people can think only in types and abstractions, can achieve only emphatic absolute decisions, and when the commonplace American or the commonplace colonial Briton sets to work to "think over" the negro problem, he instantly banishes most of the material evidence from his mind—clears for action, as it were. He forgets the general carriage of the ordinary colored man, his beaming face, his kindly eye, his rich, jolly voice, his touching and trusted friendliness, his amiable, unprejudiced readiness to serve and follow a white man who seems to know what he is doing. He forgets—perhaps he has never seen—the dear humanity of these people, their slightly exaggerated vanity, their innocent and delightful love of color and song, their immense capacity for affection, the warm romantic touch in their imaginations. He ignores the real fineness of the indolence that despises servile toil, of the carelessness that disdains the watchful aggressive economics, day by day, now a wretched little gain here and now a wretched little gain there, that make the dirty for tune of the Russian Jews who prey upon Continued on Page Four. DISCHARGED FOR WHITE MEN'S CRIME! Brownville, Texas Saloon Element Disguised as Soldiers Shoot up Town in Order to Cause Removal of Uncle Sam's Best Soldiers. Washington, D. C., Dec. 13—Special— "Not a single soldier of the Twenty-fifth infantry participated in the shooting at Brownsville, Tex., on the night of Aug. 13. I positively know this to be true, although of course I cannot now submit the evidence of this fact. "Who can say that the shooting was not done by the white man of Brownsville for the purpose of casting odum upon the troops? Who can say the shooting was not done by some of the colored population of Brownsville in return for the repeated assault to them and the black soldiers at the fort?" "Finally, who can say that there was not started a riot by some of the 'low down white trash' of Brownville, and that this was instantly met by some of the colored residents of the town? "These are questions worth answering by somebody. In any event, I am absolutely certain that the soldier had nothing to do with the firing and that time will show this statement is correct." Theory of Colored Man. This extraordinary declaration was made by a colored man of almost national reputation who has been investigating the Brownville not from his own point of view. It was not Gildrich Stewart, the colored representative of the Constitutional League, who has been active in endeavoring to secure a remission of the sentence. The statements were made by a man who has the interests of his race at heart but who has been convinced by personal talk with the soldiers and by interviews with colored man in Booucoule that the colored soldiers did not and could not go out or the fort that might. He intimates in the strongest possible way that the root of August 13 was precipitated by white saloon keepers, who were extremely jealous of a colored man who started a saloon having a colored soldier as his partner and who atracted every bit of the profitable trade of the enlisted men of the Twenty fifth infantry. Quarrel Between Saloons According to this remarkable story, which it must be remembered, comes from a colored man who has unquestioned sympathy with his own race, the white saloon keepers planned to drive the colored man out of business. Their plans, it is alleged, were discovered by the colored people of the town. When the white saloon keepers and their friends started out to shoot up the colored gin mill, according to this negro version, which is now printed for the first time, the colored people of the town were ready for them. It was they, it is said, who shot at the policeman, and it is a significant fact in support of this story that the only man who was killed was a white saloon keeper, who was shot in the rear door of his own saloon, and who, according to current belief among whites and blacks, had been particularly active first in endorsing to prevent the granting of a license to the colored saloon keeper, and then later on in arousing sentiment among the townspeople, and particularly among the saloon keepers, against the colored saloon which was frequented by the soldiers, who had transferred their trade absolutely from the white establishments. The soldiers, of course, were the most profitable customers of the lower class in Brownsville, and the loss of their trade by the white saloons must have been felt seriously. One Mystery Never Solved. It has been a mystery to army men and to everybody else how a squad of soldiers could possibly have sneaked out of the fort, rushed through the town, and returned in time to answer to their names at the general roll call which took place anywhere from ten to thirty minutes after the first shot was fired. The men might have sneaked out of a fort in time of peace, but it is hard to understand how they could have sneaked back again after the post had been around by the firing, after the sentry had fired his piece three times, which is the signal of alarm, and after the sergeant of the guard had been called out to discover the cause of the disturbance. It the statement now made on a colored man's authority is true it accounts for a great many things. First of all, it accounts for the failure of anybody in the fort to discover the absence of the men during the time of the tramp. It accounts for the general belief in the fort, from the time the first shot was fired until about daylight that the tramp was in the town, by town people, and that the fort was being attacked. Bullets Fired Over Fort. BUCKETS FIELD OVER FORT. It explains the positive statement of some of the soldiers and particularly one man who was in the hospital and could prove an alibi, that bullets were heard whistling over the fort at various times, and that men were heard on the outside during the black soldiers to come out and be shot. It explains to a certain extent why the only actual victim of the riot was a white saloon keeper, who was shot in the back door of his own saloon and who was said by some people to have had a gun in his hand when he was shot. Incidentally, it may be stated, as indicating the feeling against the black saloon keeper, that his barkeeper, a man named Allison, was immediately arrested by the civil authorities on the ground that he had guilty knowledge of the affair. The grand jury failed to report any indictment, but Allison was arrested on some other charge and at last accounts was still in jail in Brownville. Must Bring the Proof. In view of the prospective court material of Maj. Penrose and Capt. Mokhla, the question as to whether the troops participated in the shooting up of Brownville will necessarily have to be the first thing to be established by the prosecutor. If there is any doubt on that point the whole case against the two officers falls to the ground. In explain the point of view now taken by certain of the colored people I give the substance of the statement as given to me by this colored man in the presence of a distinguished officer of the United States army whom I had asked to be present at the conference to supply the technical knowledge necessary to understand the situation. It is perhaps proper to say that the officer, who previously believed the soldiers of the Twenty fifth were guilty, now thanks they were not outside of the fort that night. The same opinion is held by other army officers, who have personally expressed it to me, and the belief is growing that there is enough doubt on this subject to warrant the closest scrutiny so as to determine whether there is any real foundation for the charges made against the colored troops Tells the Real Story. During the course of a long conversation, during which the colored man interested in the case was cross examined at every point, he said in substance: "The real story of the Browaville affair, as I believe, has not yet even been histed at. I have convinced myself, at least, that the soldiers did not go outside the fort and had nothing whatever to do with the shooting. When I say I know this, you will ask for proof. When I tell you the story as I learned it, you will see why proof cannot be forthcoming, because positive proof that the soldiers did not leave Fort Brown that might would mean the lynching of every colored resident of Browaville the morning after that proof was offered. "Mr Gilchrist Stewart, who went out for the Constitution League to investigate the case, did not go to Brownville. The chaures are that if he had done so he would not have come back. He went to Fort Hena and talked with the men. Other colored men, however, have been in Brownville. They have talked to the colored people there, and you are at liberty to draw your own inferences as to what he found out. More Money than Whites When the soldiers of the Twenty- with infantry came to Bronxville they found they were not allowed to drink at the bays of the saloons. They had more money among them than nine-tenths of the white patrons of those saloons, and on this account Jim Crow bays were fixed up in the saloons to acquire the soldier's trade. The men resumed to patrolize these bays, and small a soldier named followman and an other colored man who had some money decided to open a colored saloon for the express accommodation of the soldiers. "The white saloon keeps fought this movement bitterly. The men were for- ed to put up $1,000 for the license and $1,000 for something else, and their capital was exhausted when the saloon was opened. After that the colored men went nowhere else. The white saloon keepers were bitter. The colored men were liberal spenders immediately after each payday, and the white saloon men were anxious to drive the colored bar out of Brownville. "The Jim Crow' bars were all neglected. The colored soldiers flocked by themselves, and there was not even the slightest excuse for a race riot, so far as the saloons were concerned. From what can be learned by indirect methods from Brownville, because we have none of us shared to go there ourselves, the indications are that the white saloon keeps planned that night on about that time to shoot in fellowman's saloon. The soldiers had had a payday only two or three days before and had spent their money freely. The white saloon keeps had felt this loss more than ever, because, although the colored soldiers were despised and looked down upon, they had stood menaces and were on the whole more valuable customers than nine tenths of the white men who frequented the saloons, at least those in the Tenderlom or low district of the town Colorado Citizens Warned Colored Citizens Warned "There is reason to believe that the colored people learned of this plot to shoot up Hollowman's saloon. Possibly some of the soldiers knew of it. It might have been the reason for the raid of the soldiers from the fort, if there was any such raid. On the other hand, it is not unreasonable to suppose that some of the white men started out to shoot up Hollowman's saloon and were unexpectedly met by colored men of the town, who gave them as good as they were sending. "From what we have learned we believe it was no accident that Frank Nauton, the bartender in Tillman's saloon, was shot and killed fifteen or twenty feet outside of his back door. There were plenty of khaki uniforms around that town and they were worn by both white and colored people. The police and Texas rangers wore them, and half the colored men in town had khaki suits which had been discarded by the soldiers. "Discharged cartridge cases could be had by almost any one who went into the post and those and the clips which hold the cartridges together when put in the magazine, stood around in open boxes for shipment back to the arsenal, and were handed out as souvenirs to any one who wanted them." "Not a single witness on the part of the townspeople could swear positively that the men who did the shooting were soldiers. A few of them saw khaki clothing, and the next morning a lot of cartridge cases and chips were picked up about the streete. Some of the witnesses said they recognised negro voices but there was no evidence of any volley balling or the word of command or any or the kind of actions which a squad of soldiers would instinctively have followed. Wartants Sworn Out. "Ian days after the shooting the civil authorities aware out warrants for the arrest of certain soldiers. Their selection was evidently made in an arbitrary manner. They picked up certain people about whom they knew and added the sentinels and others who were on duty in the fort, and who could not possibly have gone out to shoot up the town. But some men were arrested on these civil warrants, sworn out by townspoise for popular reasons, which will become apparent when you remember this riot was started by a row among saloon keepers. Among the men arrested and held in the guardhouse for the action of the grand jury was Private Hollowman of company K, who was a part owner in the colored saloon, which had caused the jealousy of the white men in town "There was also arrested an ox soldier named Allison, Hollowman's partner, and the man who put up a good deal of the money. He was the hartender of the place, and he was put in the guardhouse, although he was a cavalier and could not possibly have been with the soldiers when they made the raid, or at least when they came out or the fort. The grand jury investigated these cases and found no bills against either the soldiers or Allison. "The lattention was removed from Brownville immediately. The Hollowon man Allison saloon had no more business and to cap the climax Allison was soon restrained by the civil authorities. I have heard stories that he was cruelly tortured to make him tell the story of the shooting in the town. In the last of my knowledge and belief he is still in jail after having been sobbed of every cout he had in the world by his jailers, who compelled him to pay 100 per cent Continued on Pare Four. .NUMBER 50 Christmas! Discriminations in the Public Schools Agalust Negroes Remains the Same. "THE SCHOOLS AT WICHITA." EDITOR PLAINDEALK. Under the above caption, in your issue of Nov. 30th, you published an article in which, among other things, you stated, "The Negro children are permitted to attend the schools in their vicinity." Knowing your paper to be always an outspoken one in behalf of our race, I cannot but believe that you have been misinformed as to the real status of our school question in this city. I have taken quite an interest in the matter, have given both time and money to have the matter tested in the courts, and propose to stand by my people until the question is finally adjudicated, even though it requires more money from my earnings. Having stated my position, which is openly known to my people in Wichita, I believe I am in a position to refute the statements, in part at least, as furnished your valuable paper for publication. In so doing I shall no attempt to enumerate the several instances where the Wichita school board and superintendent are disorning against our children as that would take too much of your valuable space, but will cite only a few as fair samples of what is actually going on. The little daughter of Mrs. Sallie Rowles, in whose name the test case was brought, lives within 400 feet of the school where her grade is taught; still, if she attended school she would be compelled to go nearly one mile, to the "Park school annex" as the four rooms for Negro children are called. I live within 150 feet of the school in which is taught the grade my two boys are eligible to, yet they must go nearly one mile to get to this "annex," where even a part of the playground is fenced off for them to play on. Now, what is true in these two instances is also true as to about 15 Negro pupils living within one block of my home, not to say anything of the instances too numerous to mention, in other portions of the city. True, most of us are sending our children to school, but we want it understood that it is not because we believe we are not discriminated against by the school board, but because we do not want to deprive our children of what little school advantages they have left us. The large number of us who are opposed to this "annex bull pen" school business, think the school board and superintendent are discriminating against our children, and if the foregoing citations do not justify the thought, then we are wrong and are in dire need of enlightenment. In conclusion, allow me to say, that although the District court has in a somewhat lengthy and fact-avoiding way (permit if you please, the coined word) rendered a decision adverse to us, we have not given up the fight. Our case comes on for a hearing at the January session of the Supreme court, and we hope to win. If we do not, I am of the opinion that the U. S. Supreme court will have an opportunity to render its initial decision upon this question, which I am informed has never been before them for adjudication.

Th OKLAHOMA! Something About the New State and Her Prosperous Colored Folk. VINITA, I. I. Dr. J. A. Mason, who came to the city as a practicing physician, is doing a very good business. Nick Chiles, the great race director and editor of this publication, was in the city the past week on business. He spent several hours visiting the business parts of the city and when he has called upon a few houses he bought a large diseased turkey and carried it home. There must not be many turkeys in Kansas at the product in and around the city is of such character that no one can refuse. That proves that Vinita is the town. We trust that Mr. Chiles may soon visit our city a. n.

GALENA NOTES It has been quiet a while since we have seen any thing from the holy city, Galena. The quilldriver seems to have dipped his pen in silence. Reporter, where art thou? The Old Folks Concert, given at the Baptist church last Thanksgiving night, was indeed a grand success. The pastor and members of the Little Bethel A. M. E. church are beaulifying their edifice. Look out, boys! If you do eo again we'll lay hands on you. Do what? Yon remember last Saturday night. Galena business men of color, outside of mining, are vory scarce. A young colored man entered a Mexican's lunch room and asked for a Chilli. The reply was, "Your counter has not been built yet." The young man inferred the rest and walked out. One among the principal things the Negro should learn is to be economical, to spend money wisely, build lunch counters of our own. Then, and not until then, can we avoid some of the many embarrassments with which we have to contend. There will be a grand Carnival given by the Auxilliary Board of Little Bethel A. M. E. church, on Decem. 25-26, 1906, to which the public is cordially invited. There was a grand banquet given at Moeba hall last Thursday night, in honor of the K. of P's. Every thing was nicely arranged and up to date and spoke well for the order in Galena. Sir Knight Sergeant Young, the Captain of the Uniformed Ranks of K. of P., is an up to date K. of P., and deserves much praise for the care he takes in training the boys. Brother Joseph Larkness is quite an active trustee of Little Bethel. The Auxiliary Board of A.M.K. church held a very profitable meeting last Monday evening. Mrs. Susan Glenn was Chairman, Mrs. Julia Ewings secretary and Mrs. K. Ewards treasurer. Mrs. Emma Stewart is on the sick. Little Bethel S. S. will give a and Concert on the 27th inst. and are cordially invited to attend. The world is much in need of men who are great thinkers; but much more is it in need of men who are it does. We are all more or less consider- where we will spend Xmas; but many of us are considering as where we shall spend eternity. There are two things some Ne will not do. They will not and to their own business, nor bother the white man's business. --- HU49R HE STRUCK IT. Tommy's Thoughts Were elsewhere, but he Could Guess. "There is a sentimental Tommy in all most every school," said Michael King of Lewiston as he leaned over the counter of his cafe on Main street and cut a luscious pumpkin pie. "There was one in our school when I was a boy. He was Tommy Prazier, and he was a mighty smart little fellow, but he never had his lessons. He knew where every bird nested, where the May flowers grew the thickest and where the high top sweetings fell first; but, bless you, he couldn't remember his lessons. He was critical in many matters too. He knew all that was passing in the politics of the state and nation, but he was off in his history lesson. One day he came in life and couldn't keep his thoughts on his book. On his way to school he had seen a big mud turtle by the side of the track, and he had to put a big rock on him to hold him till night, and his anxiety lost the turtle should get away blinded his eyes. He hoped that somehow the teacher would pass him over. He listened to the other children reeling, with a big mud turtle crawling away before his eyes with a rock on his back, but finally the teacher's eyes fell on him. "Tommy Frazier, what little was Lord Nelson killed in?" "Tommy was in despair, but he found a way. "Did you say Lord Nelson" he asked cautiously. A Lesson From Files. It was in a country school, and I was hearing my little second reader class. The lesson that day was a story about files, their curious ways and habits. Among other things the story said that files always kept their faces clean and then went on to tell how they rubbed their feet over their hands, as could often be seen by watching them. The last thing in the lesson was the question, "What lessons can boys and girls learn from the files?" I asked the children to answer the question. Only one small boy ventured an answer, and that was, "To wash our faces with our fe Christian Register. Easy For an Expert. "Hah," said Sherlock Holmes, Jr. after shaking hands with his host and taking a hasty glance at the other guests, "your wife is jealous of your!" "By George, Holmes, you're a wonder!

LIMITED COMPETITION WITH JAPAN. The Japs have not come into open competition with organized union labor exceptin twoinstances. True two yetrs ago Japanese competition broke be fish gutters and salmon eanners’ unions, but in the main, the Japanese have kept oat of the com- petition with organized labor. The only two Instances in which they bave locked horns with union labor aren the cooks and waiters’ auion, wnich they have destroyed, and lat~ terly inthe Uoion Works.

Agents wanted every whewe, While President Roosevelt's treatment of lynching, mob violence and other matters of racial interest, in his message to Congress Tuesday, is especially strong, there are a few very hurtful and wrong impressions made by it. His statement that "the greatest existing cause of lynching is the perpetration, especially by black men, of the hideous crime of rape" is not borne out by annual lynching statistics, and is not true. It is unintentional label of the entire tree, north and south, and hurts and will continue to do so for years to come because it is a presidential endorsement of a Southern reiteration that has been in habitiously circulated by prejudiced persons for years, and too, in the face of destructive statistical facts, with a view to its ultimate acceptance and belief upon the part of the entire country. WE WANT 6,000 Now, to President Garnett place in his address and the sight to make the people of the country see and recognize the truth shown in the statistical facts destroying the vitally injurious renovation, may go on with reloubled sign, from now on. In the paragraph following the one containing the sentence quoted above, the President has the following contradictory statement: "Two thirds of the lysohings [of Afro-Americans] are not for rape at all." True is true, but the harm has been done. More Men, Women and Children to Read and Pay for Equally hurtful and untrue is the Southern charge that our people, north or south, harbor their criminals. Equally unfortunate is the President's giving it place in his message. We are no more prone to this sort of thing than are other classes of Americans. It is wrong, particularly so for the President, to even give out in trustly an opposite impression. Every month in the crimes of tape are committed by white-brutes in the large cities of the country than are charged to Afro-Americans in an entire year. Why create the impression that it is a time peculiarly the Afro-Americans? Yet this is exactly what the President has unintentionally done by his imperfect treatment of the subject. If we had an opportunity we would change and real to him a portion of a paragraph of his message, substituting the word "white" for that of "colorel," in order that we might thoroughly impress him with another fact which he seems to eye look and that will appear after a careful reading of the following change excerpt from his message: "Every white man should realize that the worst enemy of his race is the white or mind, and above all the white criminal who commits the dreadful crime of rape; and it should be felt as in the highest degree in offence against the whole country and against the white race in particular, for a white man to fail to keep the officers of the law in hunting down with all possible ravages and real every sort of infamie or fander." Liberal Commission to Energetic The President is especially strong in an endorsement of industrial education in the following sentence: Of course, the best type of education for the colored man, taken as whole, is not just a sort of education in schools like Hang on and Tuskogee, where the boys and girls the young men and women are trained industrially to well serve in busy public schools in America. AGENTS He is especially severe in his denation of antiscientific and insensitive speech and writing" o annotative Southern demagogue like Ben Tillman, I am Verlman, Tom Dixon, Jack Graves, Hue Smith and their ilk. His argument in favor of the public school for a in the South "free of the proportion to tax" nonsense advocate in some of the states, is especially timely and strong and we trust will have a great effect for good.—The Cleveland Gazette.
