Certainly T favor this amendment for- bidding any more Negrves from coming here, which would do away partially with that gvat wroug to this country, We have @ great race, but we hare ‘one great evil: we are getting too many foreigners in this country, ton many Whose blood can not assimilate with that of our peuple. Any man that loves hia comtry, who loves this Re- public, could never hope to have the Negro race assiinilete with the white toce, It ix impossible to the mind of any man who uderstands the Negro to have anything except revulsion at the Idea of the Nepro race being placed on equality with the white people, .« ‘Mr, Spesher, I am opposed to any rave of peojle being allowed to come into thie country who are not ft to intermasry with our people. Certainy no nigger should ever be allowed to mairy @ white person, So far as the Negro race bs concernd, social equality fa an impowibility.

Why not let this amendment of the Senate stand, which forbids any Neaivea commg into the United States?

DOINGS OF THE RACE AT ALTON, ILLINOIS. Evidences of Union.—Friday evening of last week at Campbell A. M. E. church more than 150 young people gathered and took part in the literary exercises. "It is certainly gratifying," says Rev. Brown, "to see how my boys are taking hold of the work for the uplift of our race. Where all these children come from I cannot tell; our Sunday school is crowded; the musical club, on Tuesday evenings, conducted by Joek Russell's orchestra, is crowded and our church services and sewing classes are crowded. These facts are due to the union existing among the churches. On Thursday evening at the Upper Alton A. M. E. church Dr. Geo. Samuel's made an excellent plea for our race advancement, and both he and the pastor, Rev. Thompson, speak in kind and intelligent terms about our minister. This is as is should be and this is what will help our race advance. When our leaders are fair, moral and studious, the masses are sure to advance. Our church is open to all kinds and classes." Church Activity.—The Alton colored churches have never known such great activity as they are seeing and have been seeing for the past few months. The most energetic kind of work is being done by pastors, and the various churches are vying with each other in the earnestness with which they are attacking the problems of their race in Alton. Many new members are being brought into the churches and the churches are being packed at almost every service. The pastors are taking a deep interest in working for the clean up movement and imported speakers, too, have been attacking the strongholds of sin and revealing the principal work spots. The result is that there has been a wonderful evidence of spirituality in the colored churches. The speakers who have visited Alton have been urging the colored people to join with the white people who are working for a cleaner, more moral Alton, and there is every indication that the preaching that is being done to crowded houses is accomplishing good results. New Organization. About a week ago I came to Alton in the interest of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, an organization that came into existence six years ago on the 100th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, and on the occasion of the race riot that occurred in Springfield, Ill., about that time. The organization now has about 5000 members, 1000 of whom are members of the white race. Among those prominent in its official family are Mrs. Moorefield Storey, Boston, Mass. president; Mr. John Millholland, millionaire philanthropist, of New York City, and Rev. John Haynes Holmes, vice presidents; Miss May Childs Nedney, secretary; Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post, and grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, treasurer; Miss Jane Addams, Hull House, Chicago; Miss Mary White Ovington, Brooklyn; Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, New York City, editor of the New York Call, and Mr. Wm. English Walling, New York City. The organization is waging peaceful but incessant rebellion against racial discrimination, segregation, taxation without representation, "Jim Crowism," limited fields of employment and all other indignities from which the colored people are suffering in this country. It has investigated numbers of lynchings and burnings and given publicity to the facts, and in the last year has done much to check the flood of hostile legislation that has been sweeping over the country. Upon our arrival here we were very much gratified to find that a branch had already been started, through the initiative and energy of Dr. Geo. L. Samuels; since being here we have been able with the assistance of Dr. Samuels, who is president of the local branch, and a few other interested, aggressive spirits, to increase the membership from 15 to 35. The new members are as follows: Rev. George A. Brown, Mr. C. J. Jacoby, Miss Lulu Hunter, Miss Minnie Hunter, Senator Ed Beall, Rev. J. W. Grant, Miss Harriett Rue, Miss Mary Saunders, Mrs. Eliza Arbuckle, Mrs. H. M. Schwepe, Mrs. Maurice Rue, Mr. O. Tolliver, Mrs. Mario Byers, Mr. Ernest Jackson, Mr. N. M. Lewis, Mr. W. M. Turner, Mrs. Hattle Farley, Miss Louisa Hathaway, Mrs. Martha Clark, Mr. John Schwepe and Mrs. Lucia I. Priest. The organization hopes to add many new members to its roll and be instrumental in doing much good for the benefit of the people in Alton and this vicinity. KATHRYN M.

Friday evening, Feb. 26th. They brought not only good things to eat, but brought good cheer and sunshine. The Reverend and his estimable wife cordially invite them back again. Word was received here that Mrs. Emma Nooby, who moved from here about three years ago to Lebanon, Tenn., died there after a brief illness, Feb. 24. Mrs. Nooby had lived in this community about 45 years and had a host of friends, both colored and white. She was a chartered member if the A. M.

The Christian Culture club of the Zion Baptist church met Monday afternoon at the church and a large crowd of ladies attended. These ladies are doing a commendable work. Mrs. J. W. Wilson, the pastor's wife, is president. Each time they have met the crowd increases. A program was renewed, which was very interesting. One of the teachers, Miss Nannie Parrott, was present and addressed the ladies, whose talk was highly enjoyed by all. Some others of the good friends of the church are cordially invited to come and address the club. Miss Parrott has the thanks of the club for her timely interest. A two course menu was dispensed by the committee, composed of Mrs. Daisy Holbert, Mrs. Mary Canna- day, Miss Cleola Cannaday, Miss Scott and Adrian Hollert, little son of Mr. and Mrs. John Hollert.

"The Battle for a Million" might furnish an interesting story for Kansas readers. The scenes can be arranged from the House and Senate of the Kansas legislature. Mexico might try to settle her differences by the ballot since bullets have failed. Every man down there who thinks he could make a good president should be nominated in a free for all race and all agree under penalty of being barred from the race to stand by the winner. With the present high cost of living and the scarcity of labor for the ordinary man and at that the further burden of a war tax where there is no war gives the people of the United States much food for thought and plenty of time in which to think. The result of the thinking is veiled in the future. In our last issue we produced an able article on "The Small Farm and the Suburban Lot Garden" from the treemant pen of Hon. Dennis S. Thompson of Bethel, Kansas, a writer of much note in Kansas, who practices what he preaches, and so great was the demand are forced to reproduce this week. And for copies of this masterpiece that we right here we say that every colored man in the United States should heed Mr. Thompson's advice, if not for present day activities, then for the future, for none of us know not the hidden mysteries behind the curtain of time. Let us now prepare to meet any emergency. --- If you pay particular attention you will notice that the white man who prates about his abhorrence for the black man, never includes the black women in his tirades, and it will be noticed also that this same man always has a hankering after colored women. This is evidenced by the large number of colored people who are half and half of white and black blood—just as much kin to the white man as to the black man. We know this continual reminder of seeing black men with white skin, straight hair and blue eyes is a bitter pill to these white defenders of racial purity, but their constant wall does not remove the specter. WINFIELD, KANSAS. Mrs. G. L. Johnson's mother left for Memphis, Tenn, where she will make her future home. She will be greatly missed by her many friends in church and social affairs.

New York Governor Proud of Our Success—Color Prejudice a Menace In Presenting the Spingarm Medal to Dr. Ernest E. Just, State's Chief Executive Says the Award Is Given In the Spirit of Fellowship, Brotherhood and of Americanism. New York—The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People added another victory to its many brilliant efforts in behalf of the colored race in this country at its annual meeting held in Ethical Culture hall, in this city, on the evening of Feb. 12 when Governor Charles S. Whitman delivered an able address and presented the Spingarm medal to Dr. Ernest Everett Just of Howard University. Governor Whitman said: "I know you will pardon—perhaps you will appreciate—a very short speech from me tonight, and I know that you will understand my leaving, although I should be very glad to remain and enjoy the speeches which are to follow, and I am sincerely sorry that I am unable to. In the gain or loss of one race all the rest have equal claim. It is altogether fitting that this great audience white and black, should unite in doing honor to one whose achievement and attainment reflect so much credit upon American training and education, American life, and particularly as they do upon the colored race to which he belongs. "The brilliant young man to whom the committee has awarded the Spingarn medal has achieved distinction, in a field where competition is the keenest and where real worth is the final test. In the New England college, where few of his race have been found, he was the leader in scholarship, receiving special honor, and since his graduation much of his time has been given to successful scientific investigation, and his contribution to medical science is of no mean order. In the highest and best sense he has been giving himself to his own people, modestly and unselfishly giving of the results of his own intellectual endeavor, trying to improve the medical educational facilities for the colored people. "A distinguished scholar writes of of him, 'His most recent work is of the greatest significance and would insure him a wide reputation were he a white man,' I have no right, of course, to take issue with this statement, for the writer is far better informed than am I, but I am slow to believe. I hate to believe that in the field of medical science my countrymen are ungenerous and unwilling to ward a just meed of praise and the proper recognition to a real scientist of any race. "Dr. Just, has made the most of the opportunities offered to the boys of our land, white and black. His success is a reason for gratification to every loyal American, demonstrating as it does the possibilities, with opportunity, of a race which in years gone by has suffered so cruelly at the hands of the white man. It is interesting, too, to note that he was chosen from among a long list of candidates for this honor, every one of whom reflected credit upon his race and demonstrated the ability of a people who a little more than a generation ago were in darkness, to compete with other Americans, and almost all of them, as I am informed, are working with and among the colored people. Education, improved conditions of living, opportunity and achievement, have not torn them away from their own or separated them from their kinsmen and their kind. "The success of this young man has been called a lesson to the Negroes of this nation. And so it is. It is just as truly a lesson to the white man of the nation. His rights are dear to him, but unless we are going to concede that American institutions are wrong and that the framers of the federal constitution and federal laws are wrong his rights should be just as dear to us as they are to him. Speaking for a moment for the state, discrimination as against any race or class or tried must in the end injure all. We are one people in New York. We have a common duty and a common destiny, and for selfish reasons if for no other the rights of the weaker must be guided and protected by the stronger, and the sacred privileges of American citizenship must be denied to none." In presentig the medal the governor said: "Dr. Just, on behalf of the committee it is my very great privilege, and I certify it a great personal honor, to present to you this medal. It is the first time that it has been presented and I am sure that you appreciate as we do, the honor of being its first recipient and I know, and we want you to know and I want those whom you represent and those who know you and honor you and love you to reduce and believe the truth as it is the truth, that the spirit which prompted the award of this medal is the spirit of fellowship, of brotherhood and of Americans." In response Dr. Just said: "I thank the association for that award not so much for myself, but on behalf of the students whom I represent." At 11 o'clock A. M., he chose as a text, Luke 15:1, and for 20 minutes the audience listened to a scholarly, instructive and interesting sermon. Again at 3 o'clock P. M., he spoke from St. John 7:29, after which theutheratic feast was administered, assisted by Rev. Walker of Chetopa and the pastor. The night services were conducted by Rev. Walker. Topic, "Life lessons from Christ" John 1:20. Rev. Walker preached an inspiring sermon to an appreciative audience. He gave their hands for prayer. Sister King, formerly of this city, has returned and cast her lot with us. Mr. Sam Richardson has been confined to his home with illness for several days. Cincinnati, Ohio, Mar. 5 1915. By a new method of concentration an expert distiller of this city has produced a concentrated extract with which anyone can easily and quickly make in their own home any Liquor, Whiskey or Cordial at a saving of over fifty per cent of the Liquor Dealers Prices. A few minutes does the work requiring no apparatus, no boiling, no experience whatsoever. While the Liquor making at home idea is new and startling in its possibilities its legality has been carefully investigated by the highest authorities, and his method has been found to conform with the Laws in every respect. This new method will be welcomed by thousands of people living in districts where it is now even impossible to obtain Whiskey for medicinal purposes. Anyone can now save the heavy expenses, high licenses and enormous profits of the saloon keeper and liquor dealers and can have in his home at any time a pure, nourishing liquor at a very low cost. It is indeed a remarkable discovery and he has already received thousands of letters of praise. Anyone can try a full quart of his favorite Liquors free by writing to M. W. Prickett, 264, Universal Bldg., Cincinnati, O. and ask for his booklet, "Secrets of Making Liquors at Home" sent to anyone sending their name and address. Mr. William L.

From "ARE YOU A WHITE WOMAN OR NEGRO?" Is Question County Judge Eaton Asked of Party Before Performing Marriage Ceremony; According to Newspaper. "Before Judge Henry B. Katon performed a marriage ceremony at the court house. Thursday afternoon, he inquired of the bride-to-be, whether she was a Negro or a white woman. A couple giving the names of Augustus J. Galloway, 28, and Miss Dorothy Miller, 22, both of Alton, secured a license and sought to be weds says the Edwardville Intelligencer. Galloway was sufficiently dark to make known his race but the girl was very white. She assured the court that she was a Negro. Galloway said he was a fireman. The couple returned to Alton immediately after the ceremony." The Alton city directory gives his residence as Monroe street and her's as Bluff street. She is a member of the J. T. Miller family, all of whom are light in color. The young folks are well known in Alton and have many friends who will wish they may have all the happiness there is in married life.

A full cellar for winter la kept in mind as we go aloag; parenipa are planted early in the spring, and at the proper season, purnpkins and «winter equash, preferably the Hubbard variety, which may be atored for use during the winter, About the middle of ‘July we sow for water etorage, the purple top white globe turnip; carrots of tle long orange variety; garden beets, Crosby's Egyptian or Farly Felipse, and make a sowing of snap beans for canning, the striagless green pod being ths best, On the plot where the carly garden has been grown we sow to rye or winter vetch about August oth, which gives winter pas- ture for the poultry, and may be plowed under in time for the spring garden ond adds abundance of humus to the soul, In the novks and corners, haffir aad, sunflowers may be planted to help out on the poultry feed, Ihe amount of any of the crops named, that may be peFduced on any giver amount of ground, will depend lurgely on the than wothing the ground, and the eare given, The family on the suburban lot can do equally as well or better than the: meoon the small farm, in the matter of gardening, owing to their close prox imity to the city, where manure to spread on thie land yay Le bad for the ushing, and where Siege ie aluaye a ready oule, at a fwif prote, for any sure plus predmed they aay be able to ETON, It is not generatly known, but it fs true, that there is more poultry raised in the sulsirba of the cities, and at a better profit, than on large farms, Ifa aes sag of Fe et sheold net then: Fhe. buy feta for several pigs eath: Year, which could be fattened by Christmas aad placed on the market, dreeted ‘at @ good price, The advaatages which the tilling of the eoil affords the people are manifold; there ip the advantage of the productica BE pay to ebeed tbe ERP tc is fitvdzeble Jaigngd pealth, satisfaction and happiness; there is the other ad- vantage of “having something to sell to defray incideatal expenses,’ and add to the bank account, ~ ‘The people should be encoyraged and persuaded to produce mores under our present eyetem we will continue to feed the so-called poot each’ winter, and provide soup kitchens, to feed the pee ple who make good wages duriag the summer, aud squander it having what they call a guod time, The charity of- wanizations, and the soup kitchens sre some of the Liggest humlmgs with which soviety has to deal.
