CAN'T TELL WIVES FROM NEGRO WOMEN! Sad Plight of the American White Man---Is it "the Sins of the Father?" Must Eat the Fruit of Outrages Perpetrated Upon a People During a Cruel and Heartless Slavery...The Cup is Bitter, But the White South Must Drink. From The Denver Post. Arthur C. Little, a druggist, of No. 1619 Joseph Campau avenue, Detroit, Mich., has begun suit for divorce from his wife, Mrs. Alma Boone Little, on the ground that she has Negro blood in her veins, which she concealed at the time of the marriage. This divorce case gives new interest to some of the most curious questions in anthropology and makes it plain how impossible it is for any so-called white man to prove that his wife is not a Negress, or that his own veins do not contain Negro blood. Your personal appearance may show all the characteristics of the white race, and yet you may have Negro blood. On the other hand, your complexion may be dark, your hair blinky, and your feet flat, and yet you may be of the purest white descent. Science has failed to discover any infallible method of determining to what race a man or woman belongs. The distinctions between the true Negro and true Caucasian types extend to every structure and every form of the body, but very few white persons are perfect types. There must be thousands, of white persons in Europe and Americas, who have remote Negro ancestors. No marked discrimination has been shown in Europe against marriages with Negroes, and as Africa is a very short distance from Europe, these marriages must have been going on for ages. Moreover, science has proved that in prehistoric times a race with Negro characteristic lived in the South of France and other parts. It is probable that many descendants of these people are now living, and that though they may be of Negro descent, they may not be of African descent because their race originated in Europe. If you think over the list of your friends, you will probably find that many have something of the characteristic Negro protruding jaw and flat nose, and that a few of them, perhaps, have the Negro's kinky hair. You may even find other Negro characteristics by careful examination in persons who at first sight appear perfectly white. So it will be seen that the case offers possibilities of a scientific controversy more far-reaching than the discussion of insanity in the Thaw case. Mrs. Little, who is a pronounced blonde, and apparently of strictly Caucasian features, says that she will call Professor Franz Bonn, the noted New York anthropologist, to prove that she has not Negro blood. Mr. Little, on the other hand, declares that he will call scientific experts and other witnesses to prove that his wife is of colored parentage. * Professor Kona is professor of anthropology at Columbia University and curator in anthropology at the Metropolitan Museum of Natural History. He has studied strange and civilized races all over the world. Already he has made a preliminary examination of the Little race, and makes this statement about it. "As every scientist knows each race has certain characteristics, and in the event of a marriage of persons of different races, the characteristics of either race may predominate in their children. Characteristics of one race which may not be at all apparent in one generation may be strongly so in another. If Mrs. Little, whose case is now attracting so much attention, has any of the characteristics of the Negro race, it ought, to be easy to find them by a close examination. Yet she may have Negro blood in her veins and show few or none of the characteristics of that race. I have seen octoroons who apparently had none of the characteristics of the Negro. "Science finds the hair the most re liable means of telling to what race a person belongs. It is possible by a microscopic examination of a cross section of the hair to determine with a reasonable degree of certainty what kind of blood it is that flows in one's veins. The cross section of a hair from a Chinese is round, that of a white person is oval, and that of a Negro is a flat ellipse, somewhat like the outline of a bean. "If a cross section of Mrs. Little's hair, when examined under the microscope, revealed the form of a flat ellipse, I would feel reasonably certain that she has Negro blood in her veins. On the other hand this cannot be considered absolute proof. A cross section of her hair might be a perfect oval and yet she might have a large percentage of Negro blood in her veins. "We know that the eyes of a Negro have certain characteristics; likewise his nose, his lips and his jaw. His teeth are set in a different way from that of other races. The pigmentation in the skin is another important thing to be taken into consideration in proving the presence or absence of Negro blood. But experience and tests have shown that a person of mixed blood may have several characteristics of another race. "It is impossible to attempt to settle the question by relying on one feature or one characteristic alone, because, as everybody knows, you often find among certain races one or more features which are commonly described as characteristics of entirely different races; and yet you would be unable to say that the person in question had in his veins the blood of the nation of which this special feature is a characteristic. "The characteristics of the Negro race, like those of every other race, may run through many generations. There are many of them which are quite pronounced besides those I have mentioned." "It is easy to decide whether Mrs. Lattle has any of the characteristics of the Negro race, but nevertheless the lack of them would not be proof that she has no Negro blood in her veins. When science faces a problem like that presented by this case it has to confess how comparatively little it really knows about heredity. "It has been asserted that a chemical examination of the blood will show whether a person has Negro ancestry, even though it be many generations before; but I do not believe that this is a reliable test. I do not think that it has worked out accurately. "As a matter of fact, we know less about the hereditary characteristics of the Negro than we do of the other races. It seems to me that much good could be done for the Negro by making a thorough study of the race with a view to obtaining more scientific data along this line. It would in the end prove more helpful than the giving of great sums for the education of the Negro. "It has been said, for instance, that in mixed marriages only the unfavorable characteristics of the Negro remain; but this has not yet been proved scientifically, and personally I do not believe it to be a fact." All that Professor Bias and other scientists have to say on the subject makes it plain how impossible it is in the present state of our knowledge of hereditary for any one to prove his purity of descent. A man may possess all the characteristics of the purest blooded white and still may have in his veins a strong strain of the Negro or the Chinese. This strain, which during the present generation gives no outward sign of its existence, is likely to crop out among his children in the shape of pronounced Negro or Chinese characteristics. Science so frankly confesses its inability to determine the purity of a per- Lincoln's Failures does a blood that Mrs. Little will be forced to abandon her plan of meeting her husband's charges with analysis of her blood and other scientific tests. If this golden-haired blood really has Negro blood in her veins, not a humband in the world can feel assured that his wife is not a Negress. Until science knows a great deal more about the secrets of heredity than it now does, he can never be certain whether she is white, black, brown or yellow. ALL HONOR TO THATCHER AND FITZGERALD. First Victory Against Jim-Crow Car Bill. Instance of Racial Self Help. Douglas Memorial and Protest Day, February 27. New York, N. Y., Feb. 9, 1915! The first skirmish on the Bill for Jim-Crow cars in the District of Columbia was won by the opponents of the bill yesterday, led by Rep. T. C. Thatcher of Massachusetts and Rep. John J. Fitzgerald of New York, Democrat who felt the desire to show they were not in accord with the Southern Democrats on this color line measure. When the session of the House of Representatives opened at 11 A. M., Rep. Thatcher presented the remonstrance of the National Independent Political League, Mass. Branch to the House. Then Rep. Fitzgerald moved substitution of the Sundry Civil Bill for the District of Columbia Bill which has the Jim-Crow car resolve, it being the regular day to take up D. of C. One side of Lincoln's life is usually ignored in the celebration of his birthday anniversary. We hear much of Lincoln the successful public man. Yet the thirty years of his preparation for the presidency included one failure after another. Failure was what made him great. Just after he came of age Lincoln ran for the legislature and finished far down on the list. Then he went into business with a worthless partner. The business failed, the partner died and Lincoln was left alone to face a burden of debt. Even his house, saddle and surveyor's tools were taken by his creditors, and it was seventeen years before the debts were finally paid. This was the incident that won him the name of "Honest Abe." He became engaged to a fine and beautiful young woman, but she died a year later and his grief was bitter and lasting. The woman he afterward married was a constant burden to him. He was a candidate for the congressional nomination, but his rival captured the county, delegation and he attended the convention to push his trial's claims. Elected to congress finally for a single term, he made no great impression. At the end of his term he hoped to get the appointment as commissioner of the general land office, but failed. In 1874 he was a candidate for the senatorial nomination and was defeated, although he started with forty-five votes, while his successful opponent had only five. In the Fremont convention of 1876 he was voted on for Vice-President, but the nomination went to another. Two years later he made his famous campaign against Douglas and again was defeated in the legislature, although he had a plurality in the state. Where can you find another such record of repeated failures, varied by only an occasional minor success? But those very failures were what gave Lincoln the strength, the insight, the sympathy to do the work that was in store for him. When Napoleon was sent on St. Helena he told this story: "One day on parade a young lieutenant stepped out of the ranks much excited to appeal to me personally. He said to me that he had been a lieutenant for five years and had not been able to advance in rank. I said to him, 'Calm yourself, I was seven years a lieutenant, and yet you see that a man may push himself forward for all that.' "I will study and get ready," said Liepolin, "and maybe the chance will come." It did come and he was prepared. We do our duty day-by-day. William, dames, wrote in his physiology, and we see nothing come of it for measure. The motion of Fitzgerald was carried for yes to 107 no. Rep. Clark of Florida was sore. • Douglas Memorial Day Protest. The next regular day for District of Columbia Bills is February 21st. The Equal Rights League appeals to the African-American in every city to hold a meeting on Sunday, February 21st, to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the death of Frederick Douglas, and to pass resolutions against the Jim-Crow Car Bill, asking Representatives to speak and vote against it, and mail a copy to every U. S. Representative in Congress from the state. If in a Southern state, select some Northern State's Congressman. The Massachusetts Equal Rights League, passed and had its resolutions published on February 3rd, and mailed a copy to Rep. Thatcher and the other Congressmen from Massachusetts and Rep. Thatcher answered the League that he would present them and fight the Bill. Branches of the League from Boston to Kansas sent resolutions, while the D. of C. Branch went to the Capitol. But the Chief of all the Colored Citizens of Boston through the activity of Secretary Trutter sent Attorney Joshua A. Crawford was a personal lobbyist to Washington against the Bill. He was at the Capitol at D A. M. Monday and went to work on the Congressman. This Colored organization is proud of this self-help. Any city desiring to form a branch league, should write to National Organizer, Rev. R. C. Ransom, 437 W. 33th St., New York, N. Y., or Secretary Trotter at Poston, Mass. Let the whole race organize. a long time. But if we keep at it we have made a success. Civilization has developed only through struggle. Failure, rightly used, is a great asset. It lays the foundation for advancement.-Kansas City Mar. NEGROES WILL OBSERVE A NATIONAL HEALTH WEEK! Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Feb. 9- After considering the whole matter carefully, I am authorized by the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League to invite the following organizations, as well as others to be named later, to unite with the League in observing a National Health Week: Daily and weekly Newspapers, Health Journals. The National Medical Association. The National Association of Graduate Nurses. The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools. The National Negro Press Association. The Bishops and other officers of colored religious denominations. State Medical Associations. Annual Church Conference and Asso cciating, Secret Society organizations. Colored insurance companies. Farmers' Conferences. Farmers' Improvement Societies. Churches, schools, and other local organizations. State Health Officers. In Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina, and other states special Health Days have been observed. For some years the Virginia Organization Society, under the leadership of Major B. R. Moton, has observed a Health or Clean up Week. It is thought to be well to unite all these efforts into a National Movement and join the movement on to the Virginia efforts into a National Movement and join the movement on the Virginia effort. It is thought that the race will welcome this opportunity to unite all these efforts in one great National Health Movement, and thus gain the benefit of the momentum and the enthusiasm that will come from the great United Health Movement. The dates decided upon are March 21, to 27, 1913. Without health and until we reduce the high death-rate it will be impossible for us to have permanent success in business, in property getting, in acquiring education, to show other evidences of progress. Without health and long life all else fails. The following plain facts illustrate something of the need and importance of this health movement: 430,000 Negroes in the South alone are seriously ill, after the time; the annual cost of sickness of these 430,000 Negroes is $73,000,000. 112,000 Negro workers in the South alone are sick all the time; their annual loss in earnings is $43,000,000; 45 per cent of the annual deaths among Negroes is preventable. 225,000 Negro workers in the South alone die annually; 100,000 of these deaths can be prevented. The annual funeral expenses of Negroes of the South alone amount to $13,000,000; $0,500,000 of this amount could be saved. Nickness and death cost Negroes of the South alone $100,000,000; $60,000,000 of this amount could be saved. We must reduce our high death rate, dethrone disease and enthrone health and long life. We may differ on other subjects, but there is no room for difference here. Let us make a strong, long united pull together. Other facts will appear in the weekly press and in circulars from week to week and information will be gladly nished. furnished. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. President, National Negro Business League. MANY NEGRO DOLLS Nashville, Tennessee.—An Announcement was made by the National Negro Doll Company that their rush season, which it usually has during the Christmas, is just on. This is occasioned, declares the manager of the company, on account of the delay in the importation of material from which these dolls are made. The ship was caught and held as a prize of war and was only recently released, hence, the material did not reach Nashville until Christmas day. But the people, says the manager, were so determined to have the size doll they wanted that they all rephed, "We will want to get the big dolls." While hundreds of small dolls were sent out, the manager declares that it was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolls ranging in sizes from 17 to 36 inches. The orders are being sent out impily. Many of the churches have sent in orders that they might conduct their bazaars. Dolls will be shipped throughout the year, declares the manager of the Doll Company, as we are ready to fill orders as they come. WESTERN U. BAND MADE GOOD! Arouse Deeper Interest in the Great Trade School For Colored Youth. Yesterday at high moon The Plain-dealer was given the grandest treat of its entire career, when Capt. N. Clark Smith and his Western University band of forty young men ranging from 16 to 20 years marched down in front of the office and played one of the best concerts we ever heard. They were here to play before the legislature and were kind enough to include The Plain-dealer in their list of calls. A finer looking lot of young men never matched down Kansas avenue, and their music, department, neat and tidy appearance is an excellent example of what can be made of our young men, and Kansas feels proud that she has not nor will not be nigardly in appropriating for the school that is doing so much for the uplift of the colored race, Western University, which is located at Quindero, is one of the grandest institutions in the state and a God send to the colored people of Kansas. They love the school and every loyal black father and mother in the state stands ready and willing to testify as to the commendable progress that is being made on all sides by the black boys and girls since the state took hold of the institution. After the conert, the young men were shown through the plant. All of the various trades were liberally rep research among them including tailors, carpenters, blacksmiths, printers, shoes and harness makers and farmers. When they leave the institution will be prepared to fight life's rugged battles and contribute to the advancement of society.

We would like to encourage people who have a few lots on the suburbs of town or a few acres to use, and encourage them to produce hogs and chickens. The question is how to grow enough feed for the stock and poultry. Some farmers and stock raisers kind have had such experience could be of much help to those going in this kind of business by writing an article giving their experience in reference to this. Every colored man who has a few vacant lots should try to grow hogs and chickens. Mr. Charles W. Wolff, Jr., was married to Miss Jessica Short of Topeka. This couple is one of Topeka's most prominent and leading society people.

His young beautiful bride comes from one of the finest and most highly respected and wealthy citizens of Topeka. The late Chas. W. Wolff, Sr., was one of the greatest benefactors Topeka ever had and we are proud to chronicle the name of his son who so fortunately married one of Topeka's best ladies and has now buckled on the whole armor to carry out the work of his father and to make the great Wolff Packing Co., a still greater concern. --- In the District Court of the State of Kansas.

Mr. Dickey owns the controlling interest in the Farmers' State Bank of that place, is a farmer along extensive lines, owning 400 acres of land on which he produces several thousand bushels of wheat. I short time ago he sold 4,000 bushels of wheat at $1.53 per bushel. He is a member of the Kansas Sunflower Agricultural Association and at the last session of that body carried off first prizes for wheat, corn and clover. He also owns a farm in the state of Oklahoma. Twenty-five years ago he came here from Baron Co., Ky., and purchased some land and being thrifty, energetic and a hard worker, he has accumulated his present holdings. Being a strong advocate of the "back to the soil" movement he regrets that the younger generation of the race is leaving the farm and flocking to the city. When he came to Kansas there were two colored churches, well supported by the citizens of that community and today there is one and it being poorly supported. He is surrounded by a number of successful colored man who are doing well and maintain a high standing in the community among them being the Buchanan brothers and Eugene Bell. St. Mark A. M. E. C Replaced by N Beginning the construction of an $8,000 church before he has been in Topeka four months, is the record of the Rev. William M. Martin, pastor of the St. Mark's African M. E. church, at Norris and Harrison streets in North Topeka. The Rev. Martin came ```markdown ``` REV. W. M. MARTIN. to hopaka four months ago and found the congregation of St. Mark's in despair. They had often tried to get together on a new church, but each time were unsuccessful. Then they planned to remodel the old building, but their plans did not materialize, then Rev. Martin came to the church, and within Mr. Dickey paid the Plaincolor ink white here and paid in advance for the paper. Mr. Leonard Jackson of Salt Lake City, formerly one of Topeka's most popular boys, was in the city to attend the funeral of his father, Thomas Jackson. Leonard is looking fine and spoke well of Salt Lake City. He says the Mormon state is a fine place and the majority of the people are prosperous. The colored people have plenty of world and those who are thrifty and industrious are getting along nicely. Mr. Jackson conducts a cafe and rooming house, 140 S. 4th St., West and will he glad to meet his many friends who might stop over at Salt Lake, en route to the coast. While here he was always industrious and always carried a bank account and never spent his last dollar foolishly. He had his father to come to live with him in Salt Lake and we are proud to say that this is one young man who respected his father and cared for him in his old age and when the time came for him to pay his last respect, he came all the way from Salt Lake City and telegraphed the money to Chicago to have the remains brought to Topeka. This is something that cannot be said about many young men of our race. The people of Topeka are grateful for the good things this young man has done in showing respect for his father. May his days be long upon the earth. ...T. K. KING... General Farming and Stock Raising. "Back to the Farm" LOOK! STOP! READ!

He studied what books he could get, and at the age of 14 entered the ministry. His education was obtained at Philanther Smith college at Little Rock. After attending college for several years he returned to the farm and stayed there until he was 21 years old. He then went to Oklahoma to work as a missionary among the Indians.
