Confers Strength "Radiance from Within Must Shine" VOL. 21. NO. 37. Recent Chart of the Waters About Sakhalin island—Part of Earth Was Long Thought a Peninsula. Japan has already begun to make its changes on the map of the world. A new chart of the waters about Sakhalin island has just been issued by the Japanese hydrographic bureau, concerning which a Tokyo newspaper says: "On this map the Strait of Tartary, which divides Sakhalin from Japan, is now open." The Kakyo' (Strait of Mamiya) and the Amur gulf, northward of the strait, is marked 'Mamiya' Kakyo Hokubu (northern part of Mamiya strait). This name, 'Mamiya', recalls a remarkable historical event hitherto not known outside of Japan. Mamiya Rinzo was a Japanese subject, who had associated himself with researches in Sakhalin. The Tokugawa government sent in him in 1808 with another official, Matsuda Denjuro, to investigate the fourth quarter. The little party traveled in a boat sixty feet long with four feet beam. They suffered many hardships. Time Seems to Be Near When the "Common People" Will Have No Share in World's Beautiful Sights. The public must have read with something of a shock to other that Mom, Washington, the New Hampshire, has been sold to a Boston capitalist for over $500,000, observes Judge. This is one of the choices bit of natural scenery in the country, ranking next to Pike's Peak in point of scenic celebrity. Coming so close after the taking over of Niagara falls by a commercial company, the purchase of this central figure of the American Alps is well calculated to excite public alarm. These big outdoor landmarks hitherto have been regarded as a kind of continental asset belonging to the people at large and travelers felt at liberty to boast of them, and did so out of the pride of possession. Who has stood to snatch Niagara and swelled a little at the thought that he was part proprietor of it? So with Pike's peak.

Florence Kelly, the Secretary of the National Consumers' League, is interested in the servant question. She said the other day: "Public interest in this question improves the quality of our servants, raises their wages, and makes mistress and maid alike happier. "Servants keep growing better all the time. What once happened in a New Bedford whaling captain's house could not happen today. "This captain, an old man, had retired from the sea and lived in a big house, along with many nautical treasures—curious corals, strange shells, stuffed fish from the tropics, whales' vertebrae and so on." "His cook was a tyrannical old woman. Indeed, she was such a tyrant that she spoiled all the good captain's pleasure. But what was he to Great Russian Wrestler Sayes the More Sweet Stuff One Eats the stronger He Will Grow—Seems to Be True. Various reasons have been assigned for the increase in stature and strength of the modern maiden, who has most certainly grown uncommonly tall and proportionately muscular during the past few years. It cannot be that outdoor sports, gymnastic exercises and so on, have stretched her out and made her as strong as she is, because her brothers have had precisely the same advantages, and they have not developed any other muscles. Therefore, that the secret lies in the fact that of recent years girls have become far greater consumers of sweetmeats than ever were their mothers and grandmothers. "The Harmony Express, the Aspirations of the Soul, the Power to Cheer and Bless." The world is such a cheery place If we but see it so; There's beauty where we step over the earth. The air is full of rhythmic joy, The blue sky throbs with love, And every leaf flurries and bird By pure delight in life is stirred Its ecstacy to prove. The world is such a sorry place If we but see it so; There's sadness in the skies above And every leaf flurries and bird The children weep, the birds are mute, The flowers droop and die; All sounds are tuned in minor key. A Whistler Witticism. James McNeal Whistler, the artist, was appreciated among his friends as much for his trenchant wit and sarcastic sayings as for his genius. A young lady on one occasion, her first meeting with Whistler, was giving vent to her appreciation of the "artistic temperament," and was evi- but they succeeded in making the important discovery that Sakhalin was an island, separated from the continent by a narrow strip of sea. Therefore this water was known as "Mamiya-no-ni" (the sea of Mamiya). "Foreign nations, however, had no control over the discovery, and when Muraviev commenced his celebrated exploits in the Amur in the middle of the nineteenth century Sakhalin was supposed to be a part of the mainland. Nevolskoy discovered the error in 1848, and thenceforth the strait was called the Strait of Tartary on Russian maps. But, as in Mamiya's case, so also in Nevolskoy, outsiders remained ignorant until the extracorporation of the Elliott expedition in 1855. "Sir Charles Elliott, with three strong ships, posted himself in the Gulf of Tartary, where, as he supposed, his squadron blocked a Russian squadron lying in De Castles bay. in a fortnight the ice broke up in the Strait of Tartary, whose ex-merchant ships the Russians steamed away north, passed through the strait and left Elliott blocking an empty bay." tacle was actulated by a desire to take a look at his own property and see how it was getting along.

The Morganization of the universe is at hand, we fear. There isn't going to be anything left that the poor common herd can look at with pride and say: "I am part owner of that."

Cooks were rare in those days, and she cooked well. "Still, he would have got rid of her if he could. Here is an instance of her staying qualities and of her impudence: "The captain, entertaining in his dining room one night a half dozen brother skippers, told them in his youth, on a wager, he had once drunk a gallon of brandy at a sitting without any ill effects. "At the climax of his story the cook entered the room with the hot water and lemons. She looked at her master scornfully and said: "It's a lie. Ye never done it." "Shiver my timbers, if that ain't going too far," the captain snorted. He rose from his chair. He must part at least! he said sternly to the cooks. "But she pushed him back into his seat again. "Holly-totty," she said. "Where would you be better off than in your own home?" Time was when we should never have dreamed of having sweets on our luncheon, dinner and tea tables. Now it would be quite extraordinary were one not to offer these dainties. And, what is more, we are not merely content to eat sweetmeats at our meals, but we consume them at all times and in all places. It was recently said that boxes of bonbons play a conspicuous part in modern lovemaking, "sweet to the sweet" being apparently the text by which every young man of the day guides himself through the devious paths of courtship. The great Russian wrestler who is shortly to enter again into contest with the Turk, Madrall, tells us that the more sweet stuff one eats the stronger one grows. Sugar is the stronger one grows. All sights but picture misery; We wonder, wonder why. How can we solve the problem—we Who fail the truth should know? How can we be beautiful, And how so full of woe? Or we want the answer, for In that, that answer, for Tis not for birds, or flowers, or air To make life either dull or fair To marry the sun, or starry Life's radiance from within must shine, Its harmony express The aspirations of the soul, In the earth, to be and less.

"It is wonderful," she said in conclusion, "what a difference there is between people." "Yes," replied Whistler, "there is a great deal of difference between matches, too, if you only look close enough, but they all make about the same blaze."—New York Times. THE APPEAL. GAVE UP CHANCE OF THRONE FOR LOVE GULF STREAM CHANGING ITS COURSE Reports from many sea captains tell of encountering the Gulf stream in unexpected places. One master says the ocean river is as far north now as it was south during last winter for a time. He passed through it twenty miles from Nantucket Lighthouse. The dotted lines show the course as it is now and how close it is to the Atlantic coast. The continuous lines show the customary path. It was said at the recent marriage of Princess Margaret of Connaught to Prince Gustavus of Sweden that it was one of those rare exceptions—a royal love match. Perhaps so, but there is no such proof of it as was furnished by the marriage of another Swedish prince in England seventeen years ago and under very different circumstances. Just because that was not being made by him, making no ceremonious fuss was made over it, and the European sovereigns all held aloof from it and did not even send wedding presents to the bride and bridegroom. Prince Oscar Carl Auguste, Duke of Gotland, second son of the king and queen of Sweden, was 25 years old when he fell in love with his mother's prettiest and favorite maid of honor, Miss Ebba de Munck. She was a son of one of the oldest and most distinguished of Swedish families and could claim to have more blue blood in her veins than the descendant of the man whom Bonaparte had placed on the throne of Sweden. Oscar Carl Auguste as much, but that did not soften the king's opposition. He insisted that his handsome son should wed only within the charmed circle of royalty, and be content with the pick of some half INSECT PEST OF MILLERS. Over-Forty Varieties of Moths and Beetles. Restate Them. "Millers have a good deal to contend with in modern times," said A. H. Hull of Kansas City, in the Milwaukee Free Press. "More than forty species of destructive moths and beetles infest granaries, some of which were only recently imported and some have been known as an enemy of stored grain ever since very ancient times. It takes a keen eye to detect in apparently sound wheat the presence of a granary weevil, but if the grains have been stung by it, it calcu-lable injury may be done in a short time. Another destructive insect that affects mills is the flour moth, known as the scourge of the flour mill. These insects excel in web-spinning, and sometimes mix up so much with the grain that the machinery is clogged and mills are stopped for long periods. The Indian meal moth excels in devouring the germs of wheat, injuring it for seed. A flat little beetle called the 'floor weevil' often makes its appearance in flour after it has been barreled or bagged. They are the worst pests in the milling world that I can think of now, and I sometimes wonder that the Amorpha lilia is blessed with such excellent flour in the face of all this insect opposition."

Atlantic coast. The continuous lines show Defective Page dozen pretty princesses. The course of true love never did unmoot for many a long day. Miss Munch herself refused to listen to the prince's suit and absolutely forbade him to make the sacrifice for her sake. She resigned her court appointment, and when she found that her royal lover was bent on following her to her father, she entered a hospital to train as a nurse. But Oscar would not give her up. Rather she lay aside all his titles and privileges that his royal birth conferred upon him. In his despair he turned to his mother for comfort and aid. Queen Sophie, herself a princess of Nassau, had her own prejudice to conquer—but she was greatly attached to her favorite moid of honor, and still more deeply, of course, did she love her son. He convinced her that he could never be happy as the husband of any other woman. The mother in her triumphed over the queen. She sought out the hospital nurse and took her to see her son. Then she consented to To win the king's consent was more difficult task. Finally, when she was about to undergo a serious operation which she might not survive she induced him to yield to what she urged might be the last request she would be beautiful than the girl of pretty face who is "stuck up," supercilious, disagreeable and has an exalted opinion of her own importance. While there is a charm in the pretty face there must be back of it womanhood in its perfection. The art of being a woman is indeed a great one. There are women who always do things right and there are others who always do them wrong. How often do we see this in public? A woman imagines, often without reason, that somebody is encroaching upon her rights. She is housed with herself intently disagreeable, whereas if she had spoken softly she would have accomplished far more and there would have been no sting in her words.—Chicago Journal. Her Plan to Save. The two women were talking about children's parties. "Yes," said the visitor, "I'm going to give Willie a party next week. About twenty-five children will be there. How much ice cream do you think I'll need?" "You won't need more than a gallon if you work a scheme I always use," replied the other woman. "When the children all reach the house I pass around some cookies—the yellow sugar kind. I let them eat all they want. They always eat so many that when the ice cream is served one small dish is enough for each child. Cookies and candy are the easiest and cheaply made. If you don't use this scheme you'll have to buy at least three gallons of ice cream for the twenty-five children."-Kansas City Star. ever make of him. And when she had recovered from the operation she went over to Bournemouth and herself gave away the bride. There was none other of Prince Oscar's relations present. In a rose-covered house on the south coast the happy couple have lived since that day, occasionally visiting their native land, but making England their real home. Their boys go to English schools and they live the quiet life of English country genius. They are the prince renounced his royal rights and all prospects of succeeding to the throne. The king granted him the title of Prince Bernadotte; and the Duke of Luxembourg, head of Queen Sophie's family, more recently created him Count of Wisborg, but it is little he cares for such dignities. He has never regretted cutting adrift from the throne, and Prince Bernadotte has long been satisfied that it was no longer necessary to be a monarch. The Norwegians would be glad to have him as their new monarch, but he has no desire to assume the responsibilities of a crowned head. Of stalwart tail, tall almost as his father, with clear, earnest eyes and a noble bearing, he would attract attention anywhere and in no company would he appear to greater advantage than in one composed of the sclions of royalty. The princess has lost most of her beauty, and admiration, but she has gained the crown which only rests on the brows of happy wives and mothers, and his devotion to her is as fervid as ever. He did not attend the royal wedding of his nephew, nor did his wife. His younger brother, Prince Eugene, was there, but as soon as the grand function was over he lost no time in making his way to the rose-clad house. Prince Eugene is still a bachelor. It is said he has declared that a bachelor he will remain unless fate brings in his way another woman like she who was Miss Ebba de Munc. TO SEE STARS IN DAYLIGHT. No Trouble at All, if You Followed Professor's Advice. The astronomer, who was to lecture in the town hall, rested contentedly after his noonday meal. His peace of mind, however, was soon disturbed by the reception committee, who had called to make the day pleasant for him. This committee was handicapped by having on its membership a young man of the impressionistic class. He would not be able to understand some deep subject; give utterance to long and complicated sentences, sprinkled with still longer words, and then conclude his unwieldy effort by conjuring his hearers that he had said absolutely nothing. "Professor," observed this man severely, "it has been said and frequently referenced in my presence, that it is possible to see the glittering stars in their scintillating glory in the sky." This is the same phenomenon." The astronomer's eyes twinkled mischievously. "Yes," he answered, chuckling merrily; "If you'll come to my office in New York with the price of two matinee tickets, I'll point out some of the leading stars of this country before dark."

Victor S. Clark, in his report on labor conditions in the Philippines, states that indulence in the interior is usually due to the fact that the laborer cannot make use of the money he earns. He tells of a novel device adopted by an American officer to remedy the difficulty. "This officer, he has been working for a long time, out certain necessary public improvements. He engaged sixty natives for this undertaking at a stipulated wage of 30 cents silver currency (12½ cents American currency) a day. The first day all the men deserted, because a rumor got around that the Americans, like the Spaniards, would not pay them for public work of this character. The men were persuaded to return to work and were paid their full wages regularly, as promised. As soon as they were paid, they were among the agents of the nearest Dattos and Sultan came into town in order to get the money away from the workmen on various pretenses.

"Wild animals have a great many ways of showing their contempt for humankind," said an artist who has made a specialty of modeling animals. "Every one has an idea that elephants become tame and even fond of people, but this is all together wrong. They are easily trained, but are never tamed. They are docile just so long as the keeper has his goad in his hand or the memory of a burning endures. I had proof of this one day while modeling one of the elephants in a big animal show. I was sitting in his stall with my modeling stand, not knowing that the certainty of his presence was extra allowance of chain.

Sanford the army Y. M. C. A. thinks that the Greek is reaching out for his old-time military supremacy. Mr. Sanford writes: "Modern Athens is full of soldiers. They are mostly uniformed in two hats of blue and white, the military service uniform of the United States army, but with added trimming of red. The king's own regiment is attired in ruffed shirt waists with gold buttons, short plaited skirts of white material like a ballet dancer, which are said to contain sixty yards of material, red pointed shoes with a big rosette on the apex, a jaunty cap without a visor, but with a long tassel and a histrionic cloak. Were it not for magazine rifles, *revolvers and knives*, you would mistake a group of these soldiers for a greenroom outfit. At the annual carnival this regiment Queen Alexandra Has Set Her Face Against the Wearing of a Profusion of Glittering Jewelry by Women. They say, observes the Springfield Republican, that Queen Alexandra, feeling that the display of gorgeous jewels at court or opera or other social functions is becoming too vulgar, has set example of a change of fashion by wearing studiously simple ornaments, such as a small pearl collar or mere diamond brooch, which has set in so sharp contrast that one can hear and hands quite burgling with rings of "brillife" vide the Jobewooky ballad in "Alice in Wonderland", that the titled women of the court are gradually decreasing their ostentation. But we object to the slur that "American women" are especially responsible for this excess of jewels. It is true that the American millionaires have rescued "Or Roses Fair, That Please and Never Cloy, Is Just a Freckled Barum - Scarum, Rowdy - Dowdy Boy."

This measure resulted in something of a local boom, and two entire villages and many isolated families of Moros at once pulled up stakes and moved into the post in order to be free from the official exile. When the Moros had a little money ahead, however, the men began to stop work, as they had nothing to spend it on but rice. The commandant, considering the vice of idleness as reprehensible as any other, and casting about to create a constant demand for money among his workers, took his cue from what he saw going on about him, and licensed two gambling houses (a currency $4 million) a month each. After that he had an ample supply of excellent laborers, who worked regularly without persuasion and required little supervision, except for directing their work. When their engagement was finished they came around to the commandant, asking that some other paying employment be found for them. The government (a currency $4 million) remarked in all candor: "It only requires a little diplomacy to make these people industrious"—San Francisco Chronicle. gerous manner.

"This is not only a trick of elephants, but of other animals as well, as I have learned to my sorrow. Camels have the same habit, and while working near a camel one day I was treated to a shower of finely chewed meat." This sculptor and other artists agree that the cat animals have a different mode of attack. There seems less of spite and more of real hate in their method. Sculptors usually place their modeling stands as close to the bars as possible. This same one was once working close to a tiger's cage, with the beast inside lying very quiet, apparently asleep. Without even raising his eyelids the big cat struck between the bars with his heavy forepaw, splintering the stand and sending the clay around.

TERMS STRICTLY IN ADVANCE: SOUTHERN RAILROADS AND LABOR For many years the railroads of the South did a land-office business by working up excursions through the agency of one or more olly-tongued Afro-Americans, who of course received a consideration proportioned to his or their success. The scheme worked swimmingly and all Afro-Americans survived virus. On such occasions the baggage car was transformed into an eating house and saloon, both of which, especially the latter, were freely patronized. But finally the excursions degenerated into shameless orges, and the decent class of Afro-Americans who were excused the excursion and it fell into the hands of the bummer class. These excursions also proved to be a great curse to the planters and mill men; for their hands could not resist the temptations thrown in their way by the railroads. But so long as the scheme paid the railroads cared nothing for the grievances of the planters and millers, they played out, however the railroad men are working another one of a similar nature, and incidentally, are very much worried over the worthlessness of the Afro-American laborer. One of these high-minded laborers. One of these Mr. B, S. Thompson of the Southern State, was employed in the scarcity of labor problems and who expresses himself to the Atlanta Constitution as follows: "It seems to be generally conceded that the south must look further than the Negro for the solution of the labor question. These Negroes have been forced to work in the matter of some comparatively few exceptions, they have demonstrated their entire inability to cope with the labor situation in this part of the country. Perhaps I should say their refusal rather than their inability for work and has worked. The trouble an employee is he don't want to work and wont." So Mr. Thompson proposes to inaugurate a vast immigrant bureau which shall divert a vast stream of immigration to the South. Via the Bureau, he will allow the Bureau to pay the expense of the Bureau agents and employees. If the scheme works the profits of the Southern Railway are a sure thing but those of the South are somewhat problematical. The Bureau will banonza and the transportation companies go into it in earnest, on the soma-head principle, it is probable that the slums of Europe would be raked with a fine-toothed comb to secure immigrants. On the whole we would expect the lowest in the labor problem is the direct result of his interest in the Southern Railway. To add to the general Asiatic hilar- ity, the Arabs are revolting against Turkish rule in the province of Yemen, which stretches along the Red Sea coast of the Arabian peninsula for several hundred miles north of the British coast of the Persian Sea, the peninsula. For several years the rebelhs have not only been winning victories over the Turks, but holding all they have gained. They have now taken Sana, the Turkish provincial capital, and are receiving offers of adhesion from Arabs in all parts of the This is a distinct addition to "the white man's burden," and is one of the signs of the times. Our white brother has another problem to solve. His spheres of influence are experience; the fate of Darius Grey's flying machine has received its quietus. China is wrenching his pocket-nerve in a most reckless manner and there is great danger that the infection will spread to Southern Asia and pernance Africa. All will be well if these things teach our white brother to do justice and love mercy. Col. Bryan says: "Ask any admirer of President Roosevelt why he is popular and you find that it is due to his advocacy or unwillingness to sacrifice of principles and policies that are Democratic. Nothing brought Mr. Roosevelt more applause during his first administration than his settlement of the anthracite coal strike. And how did he settle it? By arbitration. Now, the Democratic platforms of 1886 and 1900 demanded arbitration, while the Republican platforms were silent on the subject." Col. Bryan is a "plausible reasoner, but he ignores the fact that the president's popularity antedates his election; so the explanation is unsatisfactory. And, moreover, one Mr. Parker was officially indoors and ped a sequent of princehood and policies which are Democratic; but that fact utterly failed to elect him president. Roosevelt is popular because he stands for a square deal for every man. One E. J. Bowen of Little Rock, Ark., in a recent interview said: "The Afro-Americans in certain sections of the South are not the most accommodating to Mr. Bowen's statement is another instance of the nonsensical recklessness of assertion which is but little removed from actual and intentional mendacity. It is doubtless true that a few Afro-Americans, who indulge in cocaine may be the most popular people, but it is absolutely false to assert that either race is largely addicted to the use of the drug.

The National Afro-American Press Association is the twelfth-season feels that in the present crisis in the history of the Afro-American people. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. when a thoroughly organized movement is working with malignant energy to utterly destroy the civil and political rights of those we stand in part as spokesmen, it is necessary to readmind and emphasize the following principle and commitment and generally championed by all Afro-American newspapers. We resent the retreated statement that this is a "white man's" country, for the Federal Constitution specifically places all of its citizens on equality before the law. By right of birth and inheritance, liberty to the citizen, the Afro-American claims his equal share of American citizenship. great civil war has wrought for national well being, and will continue to do so, and that in the development of this sentiment, aided by time, the school and the church, together with a population, and a burden for equal and exact justice in all of the relations of life, wrongs rooted in the conditions of slavery will be gradually supplanted by the acceptance of those fundamental rights which inhere in the citizen and are assured to all alike by the constitution of the Republic; for we have faith to believe that the spirit of God controls and directs the tendencies of this nation towards the highest and The persistent efforts which have been made and are being made to nullify the suffrage guarantees of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution are fraught with the difficulty of the city of the Union. We do not believe that the granting of suffrage to the race was a mistake and we deny the charge that it has proved a failure. We affirm our belief in manhood suffrage without the qualifications whatever, and content that the law-abiding man of good character, who does his duty as a citizen and risks his life in defense of the flag, should not be deprived of not read or write. In a separate here can be but one kind of citizen, hence we deny the right of the government—general, state or local—to discriminate in any way between citizens. We contend that the enactment of any law which specifies that the Afro-American must be separated from and treated differently from citizens of citizens is unjust and un-American. We believe firmly in a thorough education of the head, heart and hand. The claim made by certain Southern Caucasians that they pay the taxes necessary to educate the Southern Afro-Americans is an economic absurdity. We believe that they seek to befog the public intelligence. We again direct attention to the license of the mob. Mob law is a feature of crime more dangerous to the well being and perpetually of society, than the infractions of law by individuals. We deplore the attitude of many alleged Christian bodies on the race question and the growing disposition of alleged Christians to humiliate and degrade the Afro-American. It is an evidence of the decades of violence perpetrated by the States. We heartily commend the brave and patriotic position taken by President Roosevelt in the enforcement of the Federal Constitution and the laws based upon it. His words and deeds stand in bold relief, in these times when the right principles and the best interests of the whole people. We reaffirm our unalterable deter- mination to contend in all lawful ways for every civil and political right which is enforced by the state, and which is enjoyed without dispute by all other ethnic elements of the national citizenship.

T. Thomas Fortune, chairman of committee on address, reported the following: "In contact with the millions of our fellow citizens, we desire to express our gratification at the prosperity of the Republic, which is felt in all the pulses of its various life; at the reunion of sentiment loyal to the flag, the emblem of the largest freedom movement in the world, since the castes of Rome over spread the globe, and at the splendid efforts of our president, in conjunction with the great powers, to preserve the peace of the world, in reasonable conclusion that the reenactment of national sentiment outgrowing from the acrimonies of a AN OLD BOOKKEEPER IN DISCRIMINATING.

The Back great civil war, has wrought for national well being, and will continue to do so, and that in the development of this sentiment, aided by time, the nation has become a persistent and a judicious contention for equal and exact justice in all of the relations of life, wrought rooted in the conditions of slavery will be gradually supplanted by the acceptance of the rights which inhere in the citizen and are assured to all alike by the constitution of the Republic; for we have faith to believe that the spirit of God controls and directs the tendencies of man, and that best in the co-operation of men for self-government and for self-help. As in all the past history of the Republic the Afro-American people have borne a conspicuous part in developing the incomparable resources in field and factory, and mine, and in developing the valor in the army and navy in every war waged from Bunker's Hill to San Juan Hill, thus making for themselves a common heritage in the life of the Republic, so do we cheerfully accord to a common effort to labor and serve the people of the Republic in wealth and moral worth, and in prestige among the nations of the earth. We feel that we are part and parcel of the American people in thought and effort and aspiration, and that what benefits them and benefits us, the people of the Republic, they injures us. We therefore ask for justice and fair play under the laws as a legal right, and for an "open door of opportunity" in the effort we are making for moral, social and manifold benefits, which cannot be: withheld from us without injury to the whole American people. A reunion of national sentiment which does not include the Afro-American people will prove in the end as much of a delusion and a snare as long and acrimonious effort to keep the nation half free and half slave. (1) It is a noticeable fact that although there have been several aggravated cases of lynch law in the immediate past, there has been an appreciable falling off in the prevalence of lynch law and lesseness. This has been brought about in large part by the agitation set on foot by the Council and by a recognition of the fact by the public sentiment of the country, and especially of the south that such criminal disorders not only reflect great discontent with the situation of thoughtful mankind throughout the world, but steadily undermine the foundations of social order, in so far that government by law must ultimately give place to government by individual license. It is proper and fair that acknowledgment of the need to create a healthier public newspapers, preachers and educators, governors and judges of state and federal courts have done much during the past year to create a healthier public sentiment with regard to mob lawlessness. While we relax nothing of our efforts to hasten the consumation of lynch law by the public, we express the hope that the time is at hand when lawful authority shall be respected in all parts of the land by all the people, and that this more general respect for the law may lead to the realization of that equality of right which is the heritage of every citizen of the United States. (2) We urge the Afro-American people everywhere to a closer union among themselves, and to a firmer determination to contribute of their abundance to testing in the courts laws of the law to help them to the benefits of protection of the government as guaranteed by the federal constitution. (3) There must come a time when Afro-American shall cease to be the objects of class legislation by states of which they are citizens, but in the conduct of which they have absolutely no part because of disqualifying laws obviously in conflict with the nature of the land, against which we protest, and against which the American people will yet protest because of the injustice done by the preponderant political influence enjoyed by the late slave states, because of a basis of representation more advantageous to the slave population than the slave basis of proportionment in Congress and in the electoral college. (4) Reformation in the prison conditions in the southern states is an object of such vital moment that we urge the thoughtful men and women of the country to aid and effort by judicious appeal to public opinion and to those who make and enforce the laws providing and governing penal institutions. (5) To encourage Afro-Americans to leave the sections of the country where they are not living, the son of climatic and economic conditions because of vicious laws and public opinion, and to move into sections of the country where the climate is unsuited to them and where there is no place for them to live, neighbors in which they can secure employment necessary to live and properly care for their dependents, is a grave question which is provoking earnest discussion in the responsible newspapers of the north and west. (6) This end and that we may have a manhood and womanhood rounded in all the elements of strength of head and heart for the serious work of life that confronts us, we urge greater support and an enlargement of our resources and higher education. It is a long way from the slave pen to the creditable mental, moral and material status which the Afro-American people occupy today in all parts of the Republic; and if we shall hope on and labor on wife or child, we will not be able to obstacles that annoy but cannot hinder us in the upward movement of higher living, and the faith which inspired and nerved our fathers and mothers in the dark days when no ray of hope was visible. The bondage, the God who had led the children of Israel out of the bondage of Egypt into the promised land beyond Jordan, will lead us so that finally we shall rest securely within the fortress of the greatest and spangled emblem of sovereignty that floats above a free people.
