BOOKER T ORATOR OF THE OCCA TION OF WASHIN At the Academy of Music Sunday Night, Where O tened to and Applau Among the public speakers of this country there is perhaps, without exception, no one who is in more demand than Dr. Booker T. Washington. Most of the national events have him present, and it is impossible for him to comply with the requests from all over the country where he is invited to speak. He was the principal speaker at the Academy of Music in Brooklyn. N. Y., last Sunday evening on the honor of George Washington's birthday and passionately defended his people before an audience of over five thousand people. He spoke at considerable length and remarks were constantly punctured with warm applause. Among other things he said: "The age for settling great questions, either social or national, with the shotgun, the torch and by lynchings has passed," said Mr. Washington. "I may be in doubt about some things connected with our future, but of one thing I feel perfectly sure, that ignorance and race hatred are no solution for any problem on earth. No one can ever lift, up a race by continually calling attention to its weak points. "I believe the time has come—and I believe it is a perfectly practical thing—when a group of representative Southern white men, and Northern white men and Afro-Americans meet and consider, with the greatest calmness and business sagacity, the subject has viewed from every point. When there is division, when there is doubt on other great questions, this method is followed. Why not in this? "My request is that you men of the North, and the white men of the South, approach the solution of the "Negro question" with that calmness, that deliberation and that sense --- THIS PICTURE OF TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE WITH ITS SIXTY BUILDNGS ALL MAINLY THE RESULT OF AFROAMERICAN BRAINS AND BRAWN, OUGHT TO BE AN OBJECT LESSON THAT WOULD FOREVER SILENCE THOSE WHO SAY THE AFROAMERICAN IS ANYTHING ELSE THAN A MAN. --- of justice and foresight with which you approach any other problem in business or national affairs. On most other subjects white men use their reason, not their feelings, but in considering the subject of the Afro-American, in most cases, there are evidences of passion—a tendency to exaggerate and to make sensations out of the most innocent and the most meaningless events. While the North and the South argue in heated passion, the Afro-American suffers. Only One Way to Success. "As a slave the Afro-American was worked. As a freeman he must learn to work.

If I knew how to find more speedy and prompt relief I should be a coward and a hypocrite if I did not point the way to it. "I cannot believe, I will not believe, that a country that invites every type of European from the highest to the dregs of the earth, and gives these comers shelter, protection and the highest encouragement, will refuse to accord the same protection and encouragement to her black citizens. The Afro-American seeks no special privileges. All that he asks is opportunity—that the same law which is made by the white man and applied to the one race, be applied with equal certainty and exactness to the other. "We must not grow despondent because all that was hoped for thirty years ago has not been placed as have been planned. The Ten Commandments and the olden Rules were proclaimed centuries ago, and with all his growth and strivings, the Anglo-Saxon, cliting him as an example, has not, I think you will agree with me, reached the point where he is living up to them in daily life. "Unlike the Indian, the original Mexican or the Hawaiian, the Afro-American, so far from dying out when in contact with a stronger and different race, has continued to increase in numbers to such an extent that whereas the race entered bondage twenty in number, there are now more than nine millions. So, I want to emphasize the truth that whether we are of northern or of southern birth, whether we are black or white, we must face frankly the hard, stubborn fact that in bondage and in freedom the Afro-American, BIRDS-EY in spite of all predictions to the contrary, has continued year by year to increase in numbers until he now forms about one-seventh of the entire population and that there are no signs that the same ratio of increase will not hold good in the future. Further than this, despite all the changing, uncertain conditions through which the race has passed and is passing, you will find that every year since the black man came into this country, whether in bondage or in freedom.

And in this country it seems to be the fashion to consider a problem solved when we get it out of our sight to such an extent that its existence is unobtrusive and our consciences are eased." Mr. Washington had this to say of the Filipino: "Just now the Filipino seems to be going through the process of being examined. If he can produce hair that is long enough and nose and feet that are small enough, I think the Filipino will be designated and treated as a white man; otherwise he will be assigned to my race. I hope he will be so classified that he will not struggle through future generations as a problem instead of a man." Afro-American Wins Vienna Judge.

SYMPOSIUM OF THE VIEWS OF PROMINENT MEN ON THE SUBJECT. Afro-Americans in a Bad Fix—Must Help Themselves, Some Say—Others Assert the Whites Are Not Doing Their Whole Duty. the "Negro Problem" which has been a bug bear in this country for many years has recently been brought to public notice in a way that has made it a pressing subject in both the North and South. The recent address of Secretary of War Root before the Union League club in New York City, marked by his assertion that Negro suffrage after thirty years' trial is a failure, has served to accentuate the situation, following as it did the agitation which has swept the states of the south from the day that President Roosevelt received Booker T. Washington as a dinner guest at the White house. The appointment of Dr. Crum, the rejection of his nomination by the senate, and the receiving of Afro-American federal officeholders and their families at an official "at home" at the White house have added fuel to discussion. What is the destiny toward which our national life, with its desired supremacy of the white race, is bearing the Afro-American is a question that is attracting the best thought of the country. In the south the line of demarkation between the two races seems to have been growing deeper. In the north, so citizens of the southern states contend, the Afro-American is losing friends. Remedies for the erasure of the class, line have been proposed repeatedly and for years, there have been suggestions of civil and patent with infiject suggestions of charity and encouragement for the weaker race. The southern white people have thus far handled the problem in their own way. Restrictions laid on the privilege of suffrage have disfranchised thousands of Afro-Americans. Scenes involving cruelty and life have LABAMA. marked the battle for supremacy in recent months. Many Men of Many Minds. That the opinions of public men of the country on this question might be compared, the Chicago Tribune on last Sunday presented a symposium of statements of prominent members of congress, or representative Chicagoans who have given the situation thought and attention, and also the views expressed by editorial statements of newspapers of the northern and southern states from which The Appeal has herewith largely drawn. In every section of the country there In every section of the country there is wide diversity of opinion. There are those who practically renounce the Afro-American and assert that he should be allowed to drift to whatever end he may find. There are those who find that the $2.40 PER YEAR. nkind' TO PROBLEM." VIEWS OF PROMINENT THE SUBJECT. d Fix—Must Help Them- ers Assert the Whites Are their Whole Duty. white people have been guilty of omission of duty and who demand charitable encouragement and greater education that the Afro-American may be elevated to a standard, as a race, which will inspire respect and settle the race question for all time in the United States. The theme on which the discussion of each is hinged is this statement by Secretary Root: "At the close of the war the great question was: 'What shall we do with the poor black?' The answer of the constitutional amendments was: 'Give him citizenship, give him suffrage, give him citizenship and he will fear we are compelled to face the conclusion that the experiment has failed." There are those who stubbornly assert that the Afro-American is going backward, that he is losing what little advancement was made in former years. There are thinking men who praise the Afro-American for the progress he has made despite obstacles set up by prejudice, particularly in the south, where the question has its acutest phase because of the numbers of the Afro-American population. There are those who cry that politics has wrought the wreck of the Afro-American, as a race. Solution Requires Time. In the majority of statements there is one note of unity—that the problem will be solved and that time will be the chief factor in obliterating the obstacles which now cause division. The burden of advancement, however, most of the students of the situation lay on the Afro-American, contending that he must exert himself to attain the position which shall inspire respect of those who have opposed him and se- --- HERE IS WHERE THE ANNUAL "NEGRO CONFERENCES" ARE HELD YEAR AFTER YEAR.

From north and south comes the assertion that, if the problem is to be firmly settled,aste,force,and partisanship must have no hand in the settlement. "Keep cool" is the advice advanced by southern editorial opinion. The predictions of John A. Wise of Virginia of race wars and bloodhead are stamped as alarmist views pandering to sensationalism. Some Offer No Remedies. There are those who advance no explanations for this tendency and who hold out no remedies.

It is not very often that one hears of an Afro-American committing suicide, and, for that reason, the determined action of George Nicholson, of Washington, D. C., in so doing, is the more noteworthy. Nicholson was a barber sixty years old. He had been doing business when he died, for over eight years. For a while he was prosperous, but lately business deserted him and he grew despondent. Shortly before he committed the desperate act he remarked to his assistant that he did not know how he could meet his rent for the current month. He tried in vain to borrow a pistol for the ostensible purpose of killing rats. Finally, he quietly left his shop by the rear door, saying nothing to any one and was found some hours afterwards swinging from a cross beam in an outhouse, dead. The beam was scarcely five feet from the ground, and in order to accomplish his purpose of suicide Nicholson had drawn up his knees under his body, and they were still so drawn up when the suicide was discovered, hours after death had taken place. The coroner said it was a remarkable instance of determination to die. Usually, he said, when suicide was attempted by hanging, the man would swing himself from some elevation, so that once he had flung himself. --- off he could not recover. In this case Nicholson could have prevented his death simply by relaxing his muscles. The instinct of life must certainly have been very strong in the first moments of suffocation, and the coroner regards this a remarkable case in that he had the will to persist. Death was due from strangulation. Some folks claim it is an act of cowardice to commit suicide, but it seems that this was an instance of very determined bravery in which a man who after a struggle of sixty years saw inevitable want and disgrace staring him in the face determined to die rather than undergo such humiliation. At Bridgeport, Conn., one of the curios of the music hall and concert saloons there since last July was Cleveland Walker, twenty-eight, an Afro-American who played nearly every instrument and the races, wore silk stockings that cost $2 a pair and silk underwear at $20 a set, and revealed in diamonds, perfumery and a wealth of silk handkerchiefs. He was a left-over from a stranded "Uncle Tom's Cabin" company, in which the Simon Legree was John L. Sullivan. Now it is positive that, "Cleave" has disappeared and has taken with him the white wife of Fred Highal, white. She was kind enough to leave behind three of her four children. Strange, isn't it, that human nature is human nature the world over? Last Friday in New Orleans some desperate measures were resorted to in an encaserv to capture an alleged Afro-American desperado named Lafayette Simms. He was finally forced out to the door by the fire and fames from bails of cotton saturated with oil and sulphur and shot to death. If the authorities down there would make as determined effort to capture the murderous lynchers they would soon, put a stop to them as they did to Simms. Old ben tillman opened his yawp in the senate of the United States last Tuesday and made one of his characteristic harangues, occupying much of the precious time of that august body, while he heaped insult upon a class of native born citizens of this country representing one-tenth of the population. Old ben ought to be muzzled. Owing to an unusual number of orders for extra copies of THE APPEAL containing the symposium on the "Negro Problem" we have republished the same in this issue to supply the demand. The Japanese are rising in civilization. Seventy-seven high officials have been arrested, charged with bribery. Wednesday was the beginning of Lent. What are you going to sacrifice? THE COLOR QUESTION. The Peculiar View of Southern Whites on "Social, F equality." on "social inclusiveness in relation to the social side of the race question can hardly be treated with patience. Even the Southern sympathizer, who believes that the South is a white man's country, that the stronger race must necessarily dominate and that the South must maintain a fictitious equality are unmixed evils—even one who sympathizes so ardently as this with the essential principles of Southern politics, cannot close his eyes to the ridiculousness of these evils. The South whenever a decent, well-dressed Negro appears in a public place. People of the North, who are quite as good as the people of the South, sometimes meet Negroes at reception without having the colonel visit. The social standing of the Roosevelt is, we think, quite as good as that of any Southern congressman, but Mr. Roosevelt is not constantly tormented by the fear that he will be thought no better than the unacceptable Negro happens to cross the sill of the White House. The trouble with this pretended aristocracy of the South is that it seems to be none too sure of itself. Its members behave as if they were tearful that if they once met a Negro on terms of temporary equality they would never again be able maturing into a position of so-positive position. The women of the French court were accustomed to say that they could meet anybody and everybody because their position was so secure that they had nothing to worry about. Nobody was denied entrance to their salons on account of the meanness of his birth because the aristocrats were sure of themselves and sufficient unto themselves. It was not necessary for them to stand on the hilltops and reiterate to all the world that they were better than so-and-so, and that so-and-so could never possibly be their social equal. In their scheme of things the same attitude is maintained to the same attitude is maintained to-day by the members of the British aristocracy; it is maintained by all aristracies, and by all society that is sure of itself. The trouble with this so-distant Southern aristocracy is that it is laboring under the supervision that it must constantly assert its social superiority to must inform its assessment that the contrary is the case. Not only the lady, but sometimes the gentleman, doth protest too much—Detroit Free Press (Dem.) THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER and not to be rued by their former arrogant Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire takes an extreme view, saying: "The Afro-American is, without friendliness, sometimes I think, without hope." Men of the south—including Graham H. H. Harris of Chicago's board of education, who left his Virginia home a score of years ago—insist that those southern states which have placed a premium on intelligence and property rights as a condition to the exercise of suffrage are justified by precedent. The restrictions, the northern allies from the south, the northern models, except that in the south a voter usually must produce his poll-tax receipt as a preliminary to voting, or, as in Georgia, must have paid all taxes since 1877. Can All These Be Right? Senator Clark of Wyoming contends that the southern whites have no justification for discriminating against the Afro-American. Senator Cullom of Illinois insists that encouragement and education will weaken the Afro-American state. Northern editorial opinion repeatedly demands that if the south persists in indirect disfranchisement of the Afro-American vote a penalty should be levied on the southern states by cutting down their representation in Congress. A warning note is sounded by Senator Cullom of Iowa, who points out that should the time come when the Afro-Americans reach the plane of intelligence which will enable all to fully understand the rights and duties of citizenship and to perform them properly, those who have sought to make political and social outcasts of these people will have a "tremendous power to reckon with." Theinian of South Carolina sees trouble in the future, contending that, no matter what may be done now, the battle to "maintain white supremacy will have to be fought over again twenty years from now." AFRO-AMERICAN RIGHTS SECURE. Senator Cullom Lays, it is too late to discuss Whether the Black Man May Be Allowed Suffrage—Can't Turn Her Shelly M. Cullom, Illinois (Rep.)—It is a rather day late to say that it was a mistake to give the right of suffrage to the Afro-American. As a result of the civil war the right to vote was given to the Afro-American by an amendment to the constitution. He made to take it from him, and it is useless to discuss such a proposition. His right will neither be denied or abridged. Instead of asserting that it was a mistake to give the Afro-American the right of suffrage to all our thought and energies to raising him to the point to qualify him to exercise his precious right. We should educate him and do everything in our power to make a good citizen of him. He needs encouragement, and we owe him to do all in our power to elevate him. We should not discourage him by asserting that it was a mistake to give him the right of a franchise, especially as he has enjoyed that right for more than a generation. It was given to him by the people, especially as he has acquired statutes, acting for the people, voted for the amendment to the constitution which gave citizenship to the Negro. Our mission is to build up and not to tear down. In addition to educating the African American we should teach him how to sustain himself and to make an honest, industrious, and provident citizen of him. BLACK MAN HAS PROGRESSED Whites Must Be Patient and Allow Afro-American to Improve as Time Passes, Declares Senator-elect Hopkins—Matter of Development. Senator-elect Albert J. Hopkins, III (Rep.)—I cannot agree with those who think that the Afro-American has not progressed or that the fifteenth amendment has been passed. In the north, where the proportion of blacks to whites is small, the improvement has, of course, been more rapid than in the south. Look at the high average of intelligence among the Afro-Americans in one of the middle western states. Solutions differ as to the condition of the plantation Afro-American, but I believe that most of those who hold that he is going backward are notoriously prejudiced against him. I have talked with representatives who were members of congress when the fifteenth amendment was passed. They voted for it because they could find no reason to believe that in the enjoyment of his civil rights. After many years they were of the opinion that they acted rightly. The Afro-American has come a long way from barbarism in a short time. We are inclined to look at the white man and to take the white man centuries to develop his civilization. MASON WITH THE BLACK MAN. Retiring Illinois Senator Declares the Suffrage of the Black Man Can be a Success, Even in the South Senator William E. Mason (III. Rep.)—If Afro-American suffrage is a failure so much the worse for those who are responsible for it. The Afro-American is given the right of fraternity, but it nevertheless, that it has been taken from him by nearly all the southern states. The amendment to the constitution giving an Afro-American the right to vote should be enforced or abolished, but it is now, but of course no one would consent to repeal it. Afro-American suffrage is not a failure in Indiana and Illinois. This, of course, demonstrates that it can be made a success. It is a pretty fair lot, and exercises the right of suffrage intelligently. SAYS "GIVE HIM A CHANCE." Senator Quarles Admits Disappointment, but holds Out Hope for the Future—South Must Learn to Be Tolerant. Senator Joseph V. Quarles (Wis. Rep.)—I am strongly inclined to agree with Secretary of War Root in regard to his view of Afro-American suffrage. It has not accomplished for the Afro-American all I thought it would when the amendment granting him the right to vote became the rule for all African Americans the people of the south will, like Paul, see a new light and become converted to the doctrine that all men have equal rights under the law. As for the Afro-American himself, while he has not performed prodigies what he was and what he is now, he has done remarkably well. If the south will give him a show for his white alley he will become a better citizen than he now is, and it will be for the interests of the southern people that he be encouraged to improve mentally and acquire property, thereby increasing the value of perl a tower of strength to the commonwealth in which he resides. SOUTH HURTING ITSELF. Lacey of Iowa Says the Whites Are Doing More Injury to Themselves than to the Afro-American—Ballot is His Right. Representative John M. Lacy, Iowa (Rep.)—The question of Afro-American suffrage has been complex one not living in that section can hardly understand it. While I do not fully agree with Secretary of War Root in his view that Afro-American suffrage is a total failure, I must confess that it has not done all its friends believed it would do at the time of its adoption. The Afro-American legally has the right of suffrage, if it causes where he has committed no crimes to forfeit that right he should be permitted to enjoy that boon. To take it from him at the present day is a dangerous process that may react disastrously to the people of those states who have deprived him of that right. There are so many things connected with suffrage in the south that honest men cannot be deprived of the right to lose what the remedy shall be against such deplorable conditions. I hope, and I try to believe, that in time the things against which all right-minded men complain will right themselves. I think also that the southern people will see that they are injuring the people of Africa-American in depriving him, as some of the southern states are doing, of the right of suffrage. IMPROVE THE AFRO-AMERICAN. Dr. E. G. Hirsch Says Suffrage Was Granted Too Soon, but That There Is No Way of Withdrawing It Now—Time Will Tell. While declaring that the Afro-American was granted suffrage before his development entitled him to such rights, Dr. Emil G. Hirsch sees no way of correcting the blunder except by the black man to a higher level. He said: "It was a mistake in the first place to extend to the Afro-American the privilege of suffrage. But it has been done, and there is no need to cry over split milk. We must face conditions as they exist. To take from the Afro-American that privilege of suffrage now would not only be unjust but it would be dishonest. "We must try to raise to the higher level where he can appreciate this right, understand the full meaning of the duties of citizenship, and learn to exercise these duties in ways that make for his own benefit and that of our culture. In my opinion, there other alternative." "To do this we must do more for the Afro-American. He must receive more education. He needs our charity and even our social assistance that his moral nature may be led to a higher plane. The trouble is that we must not without hearing the entire argument for the defense. If a man like Booker T. Washington rises and commands our respect, people are apt to say, 'O, he is the exception.' If an Afro-American of the lowest class of his race commits an act that brings out badness that is the extreme of the goodness in Booker T. Washington people say. Well, the one who is the most poor there is the type of the black race." "No, we do not give the Afro-American's opportunity they deserve here in the north. We claim that we do. But I fear that statement will not change the stance of the stance prejudice which has had its root in racial differences has operated to place every possible obstacle in the way of the advancement of the black race. They say that Afro-American suffrage has failed. I believe, with other opinions, that suffrage failed because it is not allowed. "The problem will be settled, but it will be settled in its own good time. I have no sympathy with the warmists who are predicting race wars in the coming years. I will not meet such a crisis as that. Let us use much of charity and give the Afro-American freely of education, which shall raise him to the plane where he can command the respect of the whites, as individual members of his race have done, and then soothe him to meet such a crisis. "I believe that President Roosevelt is sincere and that he acted wisely. I believe honest, sincer public sentiment stands by him. But this question must be settled without passion, without prejudice, without prejudice that has selfish ends as its source. "Time will solve the problem. Elevate the Afro-American and with each generation the southern prejudice—the northern prejudice, too—against the black man will become fainter and fainter." **CONDITION NOT A THEORY.** A Marked Improvement Noted Among the Afro-Americans of California. Representative Julius Kahn, California (Rep.)—In my state, where the Afro-American population is comparatively small, I notice a marked imbalance in the number of Afro-Americans in San Francisco out of a total population of 400,000. Perhaps these conditions are peculiarly favorable to their advancement. At the same time, the number of force and education. I can understand, however, that under different conditions progress might be slower, but the quality of the Afro-Americans in San Francisco shows that the race of Afro-Americans has been different. Perhaps if the fifteenth amendment had been considered in 1870 instead of at the close of the civil war it might have failed of passing, or it might have been less bread, but we are still in a condition much though difficult of solution, need not discourage us. BLAMES ALL ON WHITES. Senator Clark Says the Whites Will in the Near Future Regret Their Action. Senator Clarence D. Clark, Wyoming (Rep.)—Secretary of War Root is correct in his statement that Afro-American people who think Africa is an absolute failure. It has been made such because the people of the southern states are denying the Afro-American the right of franchise. The Afro-American has done nothing that justifies the southern people from discriminating against him politically, except that he votes the Republican ticket on at least all national questions. He also votes those states which have disfranchised the Afro-American will in the near future greatly regret their action. AFRO-AMERICAN IS MARCHING ON. Improvement as a Citizen Has Been Steady, According to the View of Allison - Prosperity a Proof of This. Senator William B. Allison, Iowa (Rep.)—I cannot see that the fifteenth amendment is a failure. The Afro-American has steadily improved since its passage and his improvement as a citizen has been in a large measure more successful than necessary to look at the increased prosperity of the average Afro-American to see that. He is becoming a property holder and a taxayer. BLACK RACE IMPROVING. Representative Warner of Illinois Believes the Afro-American is Capable of Advancement. Representative Vespasian Warner, Illinois (Rep.)-I believe the Afro-American is capable of advancing. One of the most prosperous farmers in my district is an Afro-American who was freed from slavery in 1863. There are other instances of the same sort, which show that the race is not only racial but also economic immoving. When you look at the progress they have made you must consider the handicap under which they have labored. MUST UPLIFT THE BLACKS Only Solution of the Problem Lies in Elevating the Blacks to a Level of Responsibility. Says the Rev. J. P. Brusham, the Afro-American question can be worked out only by elevating the black man to the level of his responsibilities, according to the Rev. J. P. Brusham, who said: "I am wrong to disfranchise the Afro-American by deliberate but indirect ways. It is not legal; it is dishonest. It might have been a grave mistake when we gave him the privilege of suffrage, but it is too late to back out of that now. We must muster a competent problem without denying him full justice. He should be taught industry, to save his money, to fit himself for a higher place in life by mental and moral development." This race problem is distinctly one of the south's greatest challenges to give and maintain it is a far different matter to enforce that advice in the southern states or to bring the southern people to our views. If we had the same number of blacks in the north we should have the same problem with us, and, doubtless, just as strong prejudices, that social prejudice here is it strong. "In the south it is a natural condition, but I believe years will finally blot it out as the Afro-American advances for himself and appreciates all the rights of his citizenship. There will be no race war. Such alarmist predictions strike me as idle talk, as yellow sensationalism. "President Roosevelt, in my opinion has acted wisely and sincerely. The man should stand by him, and he will." "RE-ENSLAVING THE NEGRO." "There Is No Half-Way House Between a Slave and a Citizen." A Republican committee of a Republican Senate devoted Lincoln's Birthday to the shutting of one more door of hope in the face of the slaves whom Lincoln freed. Dr. Crum has been pronounced uncleer by the senator, who is a black man. It is agreed that his character is above reproach and his ability out of the common. He is the type of those "very intelligent" Negroes upon whom Lincoln wished to confer the suffrage long before his party was elected. He is said to be necessary inference, have been glad to bestow office. Lincoln could not have failed to sympathize with Summer's later position, namely that a fit colored man in a proper office was a "constant testimony and argument" against him, and that our latter-day recency to the principles of Lincoln should have called from Archbishop Ireland in Chicago yesterday the indignant words, "To announce that the citizen who is black must not aspire to a political life, must not approach the enemy in war against American institutions." The two things go together. Disqualification for office means, for the Negro, disfranchisement. The New York Sun is bold enough to speak out openly what many are afraid to talk about, and ballot taken from the black man. To have given it to him at all was, it says, a blunder. Senator Hoar tells us of a Republican colleague who goes further, and maintains that it was a mistake to have him vote for the black man for the movement to deprive the Negro of his political rights is really a movement to re-enslave him. People talk gibly about preserving to him his "civil rights"—the right to life and the right to oppose it after his political rights are extinguished, but this is to fly in the face of history. Have we got to argue over again the reconstruction debates of 1867? Must some new Summer Senate rights go on without gerriment cannot be founded on the exclusion of a race? Disabilities cannot be effectually removed except by conferring privileges. There is no half-way house between a slave and a citizen. Every attempt to stop slave confession fails. Look at Catholic emancipation in England. It began with the removal of positive stigma, of political pains and penalties inflicted upon Catholics as such. But for a long time the disqualification to hold office remained the human lovers of liberty had to content. To say that Catholics had all their civil rights, yet could not hold office, was felt to be an absurdity. "What have you done?" asked Wilberforce, whose sympathies for the oppressed knew no white or black prisoner, but you still compel them to wear prison garb."—New York Eventing (Ind.). NEGROES SPEAK IRISH. The Negro population of the island of Montertay in the West Indies which numbers about 10,000, to less than 100 whites, speaks "Irish in its purity," with as round as 50 percent of Dublin. The story is that many years ago a British cruiser captured an African slave ship in the Spanish main and the slaves were landed on this island in charge of the master-at-arms, who happened to be a British sailor. He took back his native tongue so thoroughly that to this day their descendants resist with stubborn pertinacity any English lingual invasion.

Rumble stated to the board that the things which he exhibited and those he wore were all he had to his name, excepting a few pictures in his room. He said that he had never owned a piano. His tax was abated.

Without Oxygen man dies, but when the blood is well fed with oxygen man lives in the full enjoyment of health. Life should be a constant physical revolution. Oxygen is a feeder of living tissues. Disease and sickness arise from lack of vitality, which is due to lack of oxygen in the blood. OXYDONOR animates and thus reverses this degeneration, opens the way for the whole organism to breathe oxygen through the pores of the skin and membranes, and sets in operation an energizing, irresistible, vital force, which speedily overcomes disease. One OXYDONOR will serve the family. It cures while you rest, and its results are equally efficacious for the infant and grandisse. The following testimonial. one of many hundreds, testifies as to the efficiency of the Oxygenon: St. Paul Minn., Jan. 28, 1903. Dr. William W. I take great pleasure in notifying you that I have given the Oxydonor a thorough test later, when my wife was sick with La Gripe, Bronchitis, and a touch of Pneumonia. It was a severe attack, accompanied by high fever, and I must confess that I had some doubts about the outcome. But to my surprise the Oxydonor was to the rescue in Ice Jee 35 hours, but it conquered the disease. Applying the Oxydonor two more nights perfected the cure. Yours very gratefully, JOSEPH SIEP. 925 E. 6th St. Anyone wishing to investigate further in regard to the Oxydonor should call on or communicate with Dr. C. S. Wilson, 611 N. Y.

LOUIS NASH. "Bonnie Lottie," Who Will Appear at the Elks' Show Next Week. BLIND BOONE. The Greatest Living Phenomenon at Pilgrim Baptist Church, Wednesday, March 4. The wonderful pianist and his company will appear at Pilgrim Baptist Church next Wednesday evening in a grand concert. He will be assisted by Miss Emma Smith, soprano; Miss Marguerite Ward, contralto; Miss Josephine Lange-Haggard, accompanist. The company has been giving a series of concerts in Minneapolis from Feb. 16 to 25 and has been giving concerts in St. Paul since Feb. 26 and will continue until and including the concert at Pilgrim Church next Wednesday evening. The Evening News has the following to say of the concert last Thursday evening: "A large audience attended the con- Blind Poone. cert given by Blind Boone last evening at Park Congregational Church. The Ladies' Aid society of the church was the beneficiary and as a result of the entertainment will have nearly $200 to add to the church debt fund. "The program consisted largely of Boone's own compositions which he executed with much skill. His imitations on the piano of the fife and drum, banjo, music box, Scottish bagpipe, the country fiddler and the incoming train were much enjoyed by the younger members of the audience. Another enjoyable number was the Marshelfield Tornado, a descriptive collection composed by Boone after the tornado in the manhasset, Mont., where he resided. Mr. Boone was assisted by Miss Emma Smith, soprano, and Miss Marguerite Ward, contralto. The price of admission to the concert at Pilgrim Church has been reduced to 25 cents so as to give as many as possible an opportunity to hear this great wonder. The church should be crowded. The National Afro-American Council The Afro-American Council was called into being by the necessities of the people, and its mission is to ameliorate in so far as it can intelligently, wisely and practically do so, the deplorable political and industrial position of a large portion of our brethren, in the South especially, who are living in a shadow of a condition which they did not create and from which they would gladly emerge if encouraged by the Afro-Americans of the North, who enjoy larger civil and political rights than their brethren of the South. It is the aim and hope of the Afro-American Council, which is neither circumscribed by religious, social or political tests as a condition to the membership therein, to incorporate all existing social, religious, political and benevolent organizations into the body of its membership without interference with the constitutions, rules or by-laws of said organizations, except in so far as they may be willing to be guided in their future course by the THE NEW MAGNIFICENT LOG JAM SCENE ALL OVERWHELMING MASTERPIECE WILD REALISM At Grand Opera House, St. Paul. "Yon Yonson," which will be seen at the Grand Opera House next week, is a play which is one of the most far miliar and one of the best liked of all comedy dramas. "Yon Yonson" is now in its eleventh year of uninterrupted success. The play possesses interest, a strong storyline, as it is filled with situations which are both humorous and sentimental. The character of Yon Yonson itself represents in a faithful manner a quiet simple minded inoffensive Swede, who in his great axiom, "To labor for man to he is man, is man's noblest work." In these noble words are comprehended the purpose, aim and object of the Afro-American Council. The uplift and development of the Afro-American people is its central thought and its cherished hope. To do this it must have the cordial and cheerful support and encouragement of every manly Afro-American man, the efficacy of numbers and intelligent organization, and who has pride in his race and the courage "to do all that does become a man" to give it character, respectability, influence and standing among the native and alien races in this country—who are combining their forces industrially and politically to the prejudice of all Afro-Americans who strive to rise superior to their condition and to assert their rights in men and citizens. Of the race is engaged with skill, courage and intelligence, and persistently waged until every man having equal rights, whether he be black or whether he be white, shall be an uncrowded king in a Republic of Sovereigns. T. Thomas Fortune, editor of the New York Age, was the first to suggest the Afro-American League, an organization in the interest of the race. This he advocated for several years with the result that a number of local leagues were formed. In 1890 a national convention was held in New York, with all representative men of the race from all parts of the cozy met in Chicago in February of that year, and as the result of their deliberations the National Afro-American League was born. Mr. Fortune was ejected temporary chairman, and in his opening address set forth the reasons which justified the organization, as follows: (1) The universal suppression of our ballot in the South, and consequent "taxation without representation," since the cities, counties and States, where we have undisplaced presponderating majorities, have in the main no representation, and therefore no voice in making and enforcing the laws under which we live. (2) The universal and lamentable reign of lynch and mob law, of which we are made the victims, especially in the South, which is all the more aggravating because all the machinery of the law making and law enforcing power is in the hands of those who resort to such outrageous, heinous and murderous violations of the law. (3) The unequal distribution of school funds collected from all tax-payers alike, and to the equal and undivided benefits of which all are alike collected. (4) The odious and demoralizing penitentiary systems of the South, with its chain-gangs, convict leases and indiscriminate mixing of males and females. (5) The almost universal tyranny of common carrier corporations in the South—railroad, steamboat and others—in which the common rights of Afro-American men and women are outraged and denied by the minions of these corporations, acting under explicit orders, in most cases, as well as by common passengers, who take the matter into their own hands as often as they please, and are in no instance pursued and punished by the lawful authorities. The discrimination practiced by those who conduct places of public accommodation, and are granted a license for this purpose, such as keepers of inns and hotels; and conductors of the theatres and kindred places of THE SUNDAY DINNER.

It is said that the actor who has been cast for the role of Yon this year, Mr. Nelsie Erickson, succeeds in giving a faithful and clear cut impersonation of a Swedish immigrant, possessing the qualification of an in the company which will be seen together with Mr. Erickson are such well known people as Harry Bond, Harry B. Roche, Florence Gear, Patti Rosa and Belle Dolan. amusement, where one man's money, all things being equal, should be as good as another's. (7) The serious question of wages, caused in the main by the vicious industrial system in the United States, empowers feel for employees and by the overcrowded nature of the Labor market. This was a terrible arraignment of the South, but it was true then, and it is true now—that is, the conditions are practically the same, although there has been a change in some respects for the worse. For instance, the complaint that time were acts of the corporations without warrant of law, are now a part of the organic law of the Southern States. The unlawful suppression of the ballots of Afro-Americans eleven years ago is now permitted by legal enactment. The unequal distribution of the school fund has been reversed in the Southern States to deprive the Afro-American of all educational facilities. Mr. Fortune refused the presidency of the League, although it was tendered to him by a practically unanimous vote. By reason of the lack of interest among those who should have supported it, the League was a failure. In 1896 and 1897 there was a movement started for the purpose of reviving the League, which culminated in its reorganization under the name of the National Afro-American Council, at Rochester, N. Y., in August, 1898. Mr. Fortune was nominated for president, but declined, and Bishop Alexander Walters elected and Mr. Fortune was elected chairman of the Executive Committee; to which office sive terms. Prefudice is the stepfather of slander. The best way not to obtain praise is to ask for it. No man is ever too bad to ladle out a little good advice. What the average man needs is a censor for his conversation. Probably men and women who flirt act like fools because they are fools. Half the troubles we complain of are troubles only because we complain of them. It behooves those high in political power to provide themselves with parachutes. A stock market philosopher says marriage is just as good as a failure if the girl has money. It may be all well enough to "know thyself," but if you are wise you will not boast of the acquaintance. Weigh your friends in the scale of prosperity and they will be found wanting—to borrow your money. No matter how many cookbooks a bride owns, she keeps right on cooking things the way her mother taught her. The wise man adrotty tries to conceal his ignorance, while the fool awkwardly attempts to display his knowledge. No matter how rheumatic an old man may be he always tries to brace up to a matrimonial altar like a two-year-old. PHILOSOPHICAL Eyes Hurt You? Likely you need glasses--it costs nothing to find out.

The proper place for it to bend is J, « at the “ball” of the foot—never at the instep. "To make it bend’ at the’ ‘‘ball” things .are necessary:——the sole must be extremely, flexible while the shank’or arch must be extremely rigid. ‘Most shoes bend at the shank, thus losing their shapeliness and tiring the weak arch-of the foot. ‘That is what makes walking for most women ‘so. fatiguing, The “Dorothy Dodd” shoe has a shank that supports the weak arch firmly.” It will not bend. The method of sewing the shank is different from the ordinary—it is sewn ~ through and through—making a strong, firm shank than cannot be obtained any other way. It has a sole that is extremely flexible and will bend. - * ' Every step in such shoes is a ‘ delight. They cost $3. A few special styles, $3.50. } 2) ‘Established “1882.
