Curtis, as a newspaper correspondent, is disseminating a great deal of light as to conditions in the South, especially in regard to the Afro-American population. His modus operandi is to interview prominent Southerners and to extract from them his information as to 'the Afro-American experience' just what kind of information it is, and it is almost needless to say that it is by no means the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Mr. Curtis' mistake is that he makes effort to come into contact with the respectable class of Afro-Americans, the deeds and the vagabonds and the street corners, but devotes no attention to the respectable class. For his information in respect to the Afro-Americans, he relies upon the statements of the men most bitterly prejudiced against them; and, apparently, he endorses those statements by ascertaining that the author is a man of the —and a devoted friend of the Afro-American. He seems not to be aware of the fact that, in the South there are many duplicates of Dr. Jekyl and his wife, who is entirely reliable when talking of white men's matters, will, when discussing the Afro-American, "lie with such volatility that you would not be able to understand the case and it is not without precedent. The historian Tacitus is noted for his sardy adherence to truth when discussing the affairs of his own nation, but he is not a Jew. Warren Hastings was a very genial and amiable man in his dealings with his own race, but that did not hinder him from perforating the most unsuspectable crimes in the world, and in black his face and out for a year of so as a plantation hand; then he will know what he is talking about. FOREIGN COLONIES IN THE SOUTH The scheme of the Italian embassador to settle Italian colonies in the South falls to swainen an enthusiast among the Southern planters. Mr. Ichachan of the writers upon the subject says: "It is not conceivable that such an eminent and powerful representative of the Italian government as Sig. Mayor des Planches would help to divest Italy of its most useful and valuable citizen, and upon him he would be glad to union with anybody else the riffraff of the ports." In our opinion, Mr. Weightman has reached a safe and safe conclusion. The South already raise more colonies. The North infuse of Italian lazaron will render the situation much more than it is at present. Miss Portia Washington. Daughter of Dr. Booker T. Washington who is to Wed Prof. Chas. Winter Wod. New Orleans, La.—The efforts to establish a Japanese colony in Texas have been on the decision of V. C. Van Dusen of the immigration bureau that the naturalization papers recently issued to the Japanese farmer who settled near Houston are null and void, as Japanese cannot become citizens of the United States—Associate of the American Academy. A fatality seems to accompany all of the schemes devised to attract foreigners to the South. They don't work; and the reason is not hard to discover. The foreigners who come in colonies—the Russian Japanese and the Japanese lazaree—are the most usually of the very lowest class of the population, and are, by no means a very desirable increase of the population. And, moreover, they are intense bitter in their race prejudice, and whenever they are brought into contact with Afro-Americans, a "war of races" is sure to "voiced a sentiment" that would be regarded down South as incendiary in the highest degree. Such philosophers as Vardaman and Tillman regard an Afro-American as hopelessly demoralized when he ceases "longin' fur de oblation" and contemptulates getting a home of his in order to secure for his children the advantages of school training. Jeff Davis sets up a howl about good field hands being spilled—and takes a drink to tranquilize his per-turbed spirit. Mrs. Murray should be careful how she interferes with the has its feature and the plans of the Almighty. Commenting on his infamous book, "The Clausman," Thomas Dixon, Jr., says of General Forrest: "After the civil war, in which he rendered conspicuous services to the confederacy, Gen. Forrest aided in the organization of the Ku Klux, formed --- JUDGE SPEER and PEONAGE. In an article upon the above subject, the Chicago Chronicle remarks: "Judge Speer is clearly right in his characterization of the crime. He assures that it is a common crime within his jurisdiction when he uses this strong language in his address to the jury: 'Should the sultan of Morocco or Abdul Hamid at Constantinople consign to an oriental chain gang American citizens for such cruelty as are thus daily published here be thrust down the steel chard ware ships of the United States would be speeding over the ocean to demand redress for the injury or to average the wrong." "It is the laudable purpose of Judge Speer to see whether the government of the United States cannot protect American citizens from some well as abroad—again domestic as well as foreign" If the Chronicle will only extend the application of its principle to those cases in which the Constitution of the United States is defended and not merely by the whole community, it will strike at the root of the evil. Everybody knows that the plain intent of the amendments to the Constitution is evaded and nullified by distranchising Southern concessions; but it seems that the violations can properly be set aside because their enactment was impolite. But that consideration cuts no figure in the case so long as they are the law, they should be enforced, and, if impolite, they should be proper and by the proper means to adopt any other course would be fatally impolite. WITH ALL THE AGES No conceit of race can alter these stupendous and fateful facts. The yellow race, whatever we may think about it and however much we glory in our Caucasian prowess, has measured military genius and courage with all the ages and has exalted the patriotism that laughs at death as it has never been exalted before—Houstonian. The result of the war in Manchuria that is of the most importance is that it completely overturns the theory of the superiority of the white race. The prestige of the race is gone—never to be restored. The bureaucracy of the largest and haunted of the nations has withdrawn to the little brown man; who has, in every respect shown himself to be the superior of his opponent. The purpose of "The Clansman." the second in Thomas Dixon Jr.'s trilogy of Southern novels, is plainly the justification of the war for independence, this secret organization, that took the law into its own hands during the disturbed Reconstruction period, was composed of the noblest of Southern patriots, and it was their daring courage that put them in the midst of the stakes of the Reconstruction policy. Anyone who is soft-headed enough to put any confidence in the lucubrations of the adable-pated Dixon, is at perfect liberty to do so but it may be suggested that perhaps the most important of the United States are, perhaps, of equal value. Those records show, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the Ku Klu Klan was a gang of cowardly, murderous thugs, obnoxious to a great portion of the Southwest people. To speak of such sneaking wretches as noble patriots is equivalent to commending Capt. Kidd as a Christian gentleman. The Washington Times says: "When Mrs. Anna E. Murray of Washington told the Congress of Mothers that her race needed an improvement in its home life, for its proper development, she said, 'A saintman in perfect accord with common sense and the teachings of history.' And she likewise M. H. PROF. CHARLE WINTER WOOD. Who is to Wed Miss Portia Washings, Daughter of Dr. Booker T. Wash- ing, top "voiced a sentiment" that would be regarded down South as incendiary in the highest degree. Such philosophers as Vardaman and "Tillman regard an ancient plantation" and "when he ceases 'longin' for de olde plantation" and contemplates getting a home of his own. When he moves in to town in order to secure for his child dren the advantages of a upblow about good field hands being spilled—and takes a drink to tranquilize his perverted spirit. Mrs. Murray should be careful how she interferes with the laws of nature and the plans of the city. --- Commenting on his infamous book, "The Clansman," Thomas Dixon, Jr., says of General Forrest: "After the civil war, in which he rendered conspicuous services to the counterculture, the Army sent the Duke of the Ku Klux, formed to preserve the racial integrity of the South and to break up the negro rule. The general met the clansmen. At Memphis at midnight within the picket line of 55,000 federal troops, persecuted the ritual that during the pre-civil war, the Ku KluxKlan offered 200,000 determined men throughout the South." Before the war Gen. Forrest was a professional slave trader, a profession which afforded an admirable training for a Ku-Klux trainer. During the war, he was a soldier and officer at Ft. Pillow was generally attributed to him. He ought to have been a Grand Duke in Russia. The following from the Little Rock Gazette is worthy of notice: B. F. Haywood, an Afro-American farmer, who owns and operates a Red river farm, about twelve miles west of Ashdown, was in Ashdown Friday morning, which he sold to A. Goldsmith for 13% cents. Haywood is one of Little River's most thorough and enterprising agriculturists, and has so met him more than double the average price of the common staple in the market. It will be remembered that he was awarded a gold medal as first for the staple at the world's fair at St. Louis, and also first prize for the spelling. --- There is, perhaps, but little doubt but that the Maryland distranchising amendment will be adopted, but what will be the effect? The Afro-Americans of the state are a very important part of the population, and are equally in intelligence to the larger part of the population. And, besides, they are quite well-to-do; as much so as in any part of the United States. Any scheme for the distribution of the population in its effect and will, eventually be swept away. --- In an article in the Battle Ground, Miss Anna B. A. Brown says: There is a social equality that is not a social relationship. If a stand-alone individual is intelligent, industry and thrift, every individual who comes up to that standard is the social equal of every other who comes to the mark, whether he be white or black. But may not be white or black, because those who have stood the required test George C. Ellis, the laborer at the Washington Barracks' reservation, credited with having saved the statue of Frederick, the Great, from destruction by an explosive placed there with malicious intent, has received official acknowledgment of his action in a personal letter of commendation from Secretary Tatt. In dealing with the men of Japan' anese immigration, it may be well for our statesmen to remember that Japan is not Columbia. Judge Parker to Kuropatkin—"Shake, old fellow—I know how you feel." Madison, Wis., April 14—Prof. Charles Winter Wood, a graduate of Beloit College in the class of 1895, a number of prizes, trophies and books donated to married to Miss Portla Washington, daughter of Dr. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute, where Prof. Tuskegee charged of the department of elocution. WHITES TO KISS BLACKS Bishop Washes Members' Feet at the "Church of God" Conference, Emporia, Kan., April 13—The "Church of God" held its annual "Church of the God" event, All the churches of that denomination in this part of the state were represented. Bishop Crowder of Philadelphia, Pa., was present. The church members wearing purple robes, march from the business part of the town to the church where the feast was washed the feet of the members. A lamb was killed and cooked in the presence of the people and later the feast was held. The membership of the church comprises both blacks and white members of the church is that members shall kiss each other at each religious service. KEEPING BODY IN CONDITION. "Hardening" Process a Good Preventive of Colds Modern research seems to have established the fact that, after all, the "old-fashioned" ideas with regard to colds are not far wrong. It is, of course, true, says the Literary Digest, that a "cold" is a caldady due to german but that the feeling of the body lessens its resistance and so renders it an easy prey. In the Arctic region, where the influenza germ cannot live, and where colds are said to be unknown, it may be safe to sit in a draught or to get one's feet wet; but in the temperate zone these indulgences will continue to be risky for the average man. Experiments and observations made in this field, the Medical Record says: "A point of practical importance is the fact that it was found that repeated exposure to slight degrees of cold brought about an increase of antibodies, and this observation therefore affords a theoretical justification of the practically approved methods of 'hardening' the body by hydrotherapeutic and other methods of training. Such procedures should not only serve to protect against cold and allied conditions, but also should render the body better able to cope with bacteria of all kinds." GARDENS HERE AND ABROAD. Fundamental Difference in Their Relation to the Family. There is a fundamental difference between the English and the American garden, writes Prof. L. H. Bailley in the Garden Magazine. The Englishman's garden is well nigh as essential as his house. It is like an extra room to the residence. It is for the family rather than for the public. It therefore works itself into developing consciousness of children, and garden love becomes as much a part of the person as books and furniture and music do. An English teacher recently inspected the study work at Cornell university. "What surprises me," she said, "is that you need to do, such work. The English child loves nature as by it instigated." The American garden is likely to be all in front yard. It is made of the lookable kind. It is made for the public to see. This may contribute to public spirit and civile betterment, but it loses in originality and vitality. There is no clear thinking apart from clean living. Platitudes against sin are as harmful as applause for sin. Respectability may be quite different from righteousness. He who loses no love for others, loses all life, for himself. losses all life for himself. dime often weighs more than a dollar.
