COLOR LINE IS DRAWN ADMISSION OF COLORED STUDENT TO NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY MAY CAUSE TROUBLE Chicago, Ill., — The color line has become an issue among the students of Northwestern university. While the members of the Hinman literary society are engaged in a bitter fight over the admission of John P. Faulkner a colored student, the faculty has appointed Faulkner as a contestant in the preliminaries for the Northern oratorical league contest, one of the greatest honors in forensics in the university. Faulkner's oration which won the place for him bears a title which is considered to be peculiarly timely, "Man's Inhumanity to Man," and is on the Negro question. When Faulkner's name was presented to the society Tuesday night there was strong opposition on the part of a considerable number of the members, because of his color. An attempt was made to lay the application on the table, but it was unsuccessful, and the opponents saw they were in the minority. In order to break the quorum so that no vote could be taken, four of the opposition started to leave the hall. When F. A. Moon, the president, put the question, two of them were still in the room putting on their overshoes, and President Moon counted them present. Faulkner was admitted by a majority of one vote. The feeling against his admission is so strong that it is thought it may disrupt the society. Faulkner lives in Glencoe and is a member of the junior class. He is considered one of the best speakers in the university. —Ex. Their Assistance Solicited in Making Oklahoma a Free State. Guthrie, O. T.,—The Quay statenood resolution brings E. P. McCabe, ex-auditor of Kansas and present deputy auditor of Oklahoma, to the front with the following letter, which was to day mailed to representative Negroes in all the Northern states. "Believing that you entertain race pride; that you hope for race elevation, I beg to formally request you to have the leading thinking and reading men of our race in your state to formally request by petition or otherwise (if thought prudent), the members of Congress (both branches) to assist and vote for the following amendment offered by Senator Matt Quay in his statehood bill for the admission of Oklahoma as a state." The amendment reads as follows: SEDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19 1904. FOR SCHOOL NEGRO "That said state shall never enact a law restricting or abridging the right of sufferage on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, nor shall any educational qualification ever be imposed on the right of suffrage." "There appears to be some three bills or measures offered for this purpose, among which is one by Mr. McGuire, one by Mr. Stephens and one by Senator Quay. I trust that you will prevail upon the representatives in congress from your state in an event that the above ameniment be incorporated in the bill that becomes a law. It has been said that 'God helps those who help themselves.' Now, this unusual effort may bear fruit, if speedy action on your part be taken, since time is the essence of this contract. I have written every Northern state requesting assistance in the hope that the men of the race would put their shoulder to the wheel and assist in making Oklahoma a free state." Ex EDUCATING THE NEOPO All the southern state Ironically had statues prohibiting the education of slaves and providing / were punishable for so highly criminal misconduct it was apprehended that if the negroes got more knowledge than was absolutely requisite to manual toil they would become a monace to the safety of their masters and to the peace of the South. This ante-bellum opinion is echoed in the message which Governor Vardeman read to the Mississippi legislature Jan 19th. Education. Governor Vardeman declared, has been a curse to the negro. It has made him worse instead of better, and has made him worse in proportion to the amount of it he has received. The governor gives statistics to prove that in Massachusetts, where negroes are most highly educated, a far larger proportion of them are criminal than in Mississippi, where they are hardly educated at all. Governor Vardeman's argument was only directed against "book learning." He believes it will benefit the negro in every way to teach him how better to use his hands. The instruction of the body, he believes, should precede instruction of the mind. Men should be taught to work before they are taught to read and think. There is nothing new in Governor Vardeman's doctrine that it is of importance that the negro shall be taught to work with his hands. That doctrine has been widely propagated, and has been put into practical operation in many places in the South with excellent results. The novel feature of Governor Vardeman's preachment is its opposition to the education of the negro's head. The only inference that can reasonably be drawn from his remarks is that he thinks the more a negro knows about anything except how to do manual work, the more worthless he is sure to be to himself and the more of a nuisance and menace he becomes to society. That it is the race's newly acquired knowledge of spelling writing, reading and arithmetic SCHOOL A. W. Lloyd, He is a young man, and only on the first rung in the ladder of his t M. R. He is a young man, and only on possibilities. He is abreast of the first rung in the ladder of his the times, and ambitions for the that has made so many negroes incendiaries, murderers and racist Governor Vardeman's reasoning may appear flawless in Mississippi, but in other parts of the country it is likely to be regarded as somewhat lacking in logical concsecution. Just how a knowledge of the alphabet or of the multiplication table would proceed about making a theif, a fighter or a fiend out of a man who would otherwise be quiet and orderly is not easy to understand. Governor Vardeman's doctrine is just as lacking in common sense as the opposite doctrine that intellectual education is all that is necessary to elevate a race but lately sunk into superstition, ignorance and slavery to the height of civilization. School books alone never made a good and useful man, and school books alone never made a worthless and dangerous one. The negro will not be raised to a level with the white man by text books, and he will not be ruined by them. Education of both his hands and his brains will improve him, but many other things will be found requisite to making most of the members of his race good men and good citizens. For example, the negro will be largely influenced by the example set before him by his white superiors, and he is not likely to be made a more moral and law-abiding citizen by the white race hanging or burning men for crimes of every degree of culpability from assault to chicken stealing. -Ex Mrs. Jas.

Feb. 12—Mr. Dennis Jackson, of near this city while engaged in feeding cattle last Saturday, met with a very painful accident. He was pitching hay from a wagon, and accidentally lost his balance and fell striking upon the edge of the hay-frame, resuiting the fracture of two ribs. The fracture was quite severe, and he has suffered considerably, but is getting along nicely now. Grand Chancellor Lloyd Tours Southwest Missouri St. Louis, Mo. Feb. 14- A. W.

JOURNALISM'S FUNCTIONS. | ‘Tue true office of jouw nalism is to mold public sentiment. When- wer a journalist caters to public sentiment, he degenerates to te level of the mob. He is, ine deed, a jovroalist who has the intelligene, moral energy and tact loturn pubhe sentiment as h- would have it go, if the chan n> into which he directs it, are the channels hat lead to the pub- lic good, In America, where the journal is has untrammelied sway in ith us: of the pen, he stands as a fir Conse sater of the public ee rd; he studies conditions far in advance of the masses and it isthru hisinfluence that the pub- lic interests are furthered. Hene- the true journalist views with un- | blancs interest every undulation (of public thought. Should it be ivacillating toward conditions or ‘influences that will be hurtful to | the public-good, he faces these waves of apparent destruction, |stays the tide of excited public sentiment and bring order out of ecatuatene Such is the function ‘of the patriotic journalist. | What element of journalists, ‘who cater to public clamoring sna try to please it by doing its bidding, may be regarded as “Yellow Journalism."" This class of journalism has added no little trouble to the A- ineican public, Indeed, this el- ement of journalists, delight in the sensational, tragical and the super-factional. Ours would be asad fate, if yellow journalism was allowed to run its course un- hampered, But, thanks to Amer- ican patriosm for that grand yal- axy of patriotic editors, that are jever on ithe alert to arrest and curb the pernicious influences of yellow journalism, whenever or wherever it may strive to estab- jlish itself with limit'ess mendac- Jity.

BRYANT The Pationce of (he Democratic Party Pat to the Test by che Pire-Beand. The recent speech of Mr. Bryan at Lincoln maker it clear that he has in nowise abandoned his rule or ruin pol- ley. The patience of the party with this populistic frebrand 1s one of the marvels of contemporancous political bistory, says the Schenectady Star, (dem.), For nearly eight years it bas struggled to keep on its feet under the dead weight of his cheap and exploded notions of statesmanship, yielding meekly to his domination although sure of disaster and defeat. It has showered him wiht honors and has followed him uncomplainingly in the hopeless and dreary struggles to con- vince the electors of the land that wildcat theorles of finance and govern- iment Were preferable to the sane and conservative policies of the fathers, It has seen him grow rich in the goods of this world through its favor. Never WAS a son treated with more princely crenerosity, And what return has Mr ‘Bryan made? In what way has he ineyhag lis gratitude? By doing every- thing In his power to wreck the party beyond repair. By assailing every lead- er who has dared to come out honestly gaint the apurlous to which he clings in the fact of almost universal con- deranation. By riding rough-shod over sanity and common sense in the matter of the money question and by yushing to the fron! an issue that can not by any human power be galvanized into life again, By reading out of the party everybody who did not vote for him in 1896 and 1900, By demanding that no one shall be nominated for yeesident who does not bear the ap- oroved stamp of Bryanism. By doing, in fact, everything in his power to drag the party down to defeat again, That is the way Mr. Bryan shows his grati- tude to the great political organization that lifted bim from obscurity and made bim rich and famous, FAILURE OF GORMAN, Balldoring Methods Patt Sven tn ths Party That Practices Them, ‘ — Senator Gorman’s attempt to hetd ihe reins over the democratic senators 4nd to drive them whitheraoever he wills has proved a conspicuous failure, When a state through its business sen- tment and its legislative expression is shouting “We want that canal and want it right away," no Gorman talk of party unity can keep the senators from such a state in @ position of antagon- iam to their home interests, says the Troy (N.

Col, Watterson says Bryan's Lincoln outburst, demanding the readoption of the Chicago and Kansas City platforms and the adoption of new planks in har- mony with them, is “sheer political in- sanity,” and he wants the party to go back to the principles of 1892, deciaring that to reaffirm the planks of 1896 and 1900 would be as disastrous as to renew the resolution of 1868, proclaiming the war for the union # failure, The colonel is undoubtedly right as to the folly of ronewing the platforms of Chicago and Kansas City, but {t Is a little surprising that he should favor the platform of 1s92, which waw & conspicuous straddle on the tariff question.
