Treat each man according to his worth as a man. Distrust all who would have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. —President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1909. HERR WEISMAN'S THEORY. Herr Welsman, a very wise er otherwise German has promulgated the theory that while man's body is not immortal, a part of it is, and this part, which the German savant calls the germplasm, "is handed down immortal and continuous, from generation to generation, unbroken and unchanged—except in certain circumstances—by the adventures of the body itself in the surroundings, or environment, in which it lives." One Lane, a Southern writer, adopts this theory and evolves from it the following conclusion: "But to attempt the civilization of the Chinese, the Japanese, the Negro, or the Malay, in the belief that they may be elevated to an equality with the white man, is a hopeless and senseless undertaking, because racial differences go to the very origin of life, and are found to exist in the very substance from generation to generation." Now in the case of the Japanese, it is an admitted fact that in discipline and patriotism they are far ahead of the white man. To ignore such evident facts and to adopt an M. H. HON. WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT In an address at the Y. C. M. A. in Augusta, Ga., Lauds Afro-American Race. "The idea that the South can afford," said Mr. Taft, "to have the Afro-American transplanted to some other country to me always sounded like a colce. They tried that down in Mississippi, and they were going to move then, not out of the country to Africa, but only across the river, and they had a riot. Of course, that is absurd. "But if the Afro-American would be respected he must make himself worthy of respect. He must cultivate those virtues of providence, of industry, of thrift which will make him respected as a laborer, as a farmer, as a skilled mechanic, as a man contributing to the wealth of the community in which he lives, and without whose aid the accumulation of that wealth is impossible. blood in defense of that flag, and will continue to do so. "Therefore, as the President of the United States to be, if the Lord spares me until March 4, I must feel that I had not discharged my duty in coming into this country, if I spoke at all, without speaking to the colored people as an important part of the South, and as Americans ennobled the same earnest concern that I hope the Lord may give me to manifest with respect to a whole united people." Mr. Taft was introduced as "the most popular and conspicuous citizen of the United States, America's great est statesman, our uncrowned king for whom we wish a successful administration and a second term," by the famous Dr. Walker, known as the "I want to add that I always want to say before an Afro-American audience that you are Americans. The idea of transplanting you is utterly absurd. The only flag you know is the Stars and Stripes, and you are of a race that has given up their lives and moistened the ground with their absurd theory of a body partly mortal and partly immortal does not seem to accord with the canons of good sense. In a recent letter, the Marquise de Fontenoy relates the following: Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands has caused a decree to be promulgated in the Official Gazette at The Hague, providing that her baby, which is looked for in March, shall bear the name of Orange-Nassau, and shall be styled prince or princess of Orange-Nassau, and duke or duchess of Mecklenburg. It is desired to emphasize the connection of the reigning house of Holland with that of Nassau, now occupying the grand ducal throne of Luxemburg, and the enormous family fortune of which is now being sued for by Count Merenberg, son of the morganatic union of the late Prince Nicholas of Nassau, with the divorced wife of Gen. Doubelt, youngest daughter, by the way, of the celebrated Russian poet, Pushkin. And, by the way, since we come to think of it, the celebrated poet aforesaid, Pushkin, was what the Southerners call a "nigger," as any one can see by consulting the Encyclopedia Britannica. The fact that a slight infusion of African blood exists COPYRIGHT B.J. C. BROWN S. LOUIS National Committeeman from Missouri, who took the place of Chairman Hitechco during his absence from Chicago during the campaign. Mr. Hitechco is now a friend of the Afro-Americans, had charge of the work among the Afro-Americans, and present presidential campaign. He is now said to be slated for a Cabinet place. blood in defense of that flag, and will continue to do so. “Therefore, as the President of the United States to be, if the Lord spares me until March 4, I must feel that I had not discharged my duty in coming into this country, if I spoke at all, without speaking to the colored people as an important part of the South, and as Americans entitled to the same earnest concern that I hope the Lord may give me to manifest with respect to a whole united people.” Mr. Taft was introduced as “the most popular and conspicuous citizen of the United States, America's greatest statesman, our uncrowned king, for whom we wish a successful administration and a second term,” by the famous Dr. Walker, known as the “Black Surgeon.” Dr. Walker pointed a bright present and a brighter future for the Afro-Americans of Georgia, who owned, he said, a million acres of land in the state and paid taxes on $20,000,000 worth of property. This report Mr. Taft regarded as most encouraging. among some of the royal families of Europe is one that should cause Mr. Tillman to do some thinking. February, although the shortest month in the year, is full of historic events. During the month the birthday anniversaries of the three greatest Americans who have gone to their reward will occur and be duly celebrated, viz.: Washington, Lincoln and Douglass. We might also add that "Ground Hog Day" and "Valentine Day" are among its days and are considered of very much importance by many people. The coming celebration of the centennial anniversary of the birthday of the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, will be more generally observed throughout this country than any recent occasion. Would to God we had many more such men as Lincoln alive today! According to the ground hog theory, we are to have six weeks more of cold weather. We wish the little rascal had stayed in his hole. The "Ananias Class" seems to be a popular and rapidly growing nowadays. THE CAPITOL AT THE CAPITAL RU Whose One Hundredth Birthday Anniversary Will Be Celebrated Feb. 12. SPECIAL TO THE APPEAL Washington, Feb. 4.—The centenary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln will be celebrated in all the public schools of Washington on Friday, Feb. 12. Joint exercises, in which all the classes of each building will participate, will be held that afternoon. Through the efforts of the Alexander Hamilton National Memorial association, of which Justice John M. Harlan of the United States supreme court is president, an appropriate memorial to the famous statesman of revolutionary times soon will be erected on the esplanade south of the Treasury building. Some one, evidently a member of the Ananias club, has put out the report that there is a clash between the Register of the Treasury and the Assistant Register. The report is false. Messrs. Vernon and Adams were friends many years before they became associated in public office and their relations are of a very pleasant character. The correspondents who have recently sent out a lot of lying reports about our Afro-American officeholders ought to be muzzled. It has been thought that Representative J. Thomas Hefflin of Alabama may escape prosecution under the indictment pending against him charging an assault to kill Louis Lundy, an Afro-American, March 27 last, owing to the fact that the principal witness cannot be present. United States Attorney Baker admits that the absence of this important witness will interfere with his plans to call Mr. Hefflin to trial this month, but denies that the case will be dropped. President Roosevelt has given his consent to the placing of the head of Lincoln on one of the popular coins. He conferred with Director Leech of the mint about the matter and the details are now under advertisement. Senator Tillman is to make a vigorous fight against the renomination of Collector of Customs Crum, at Charleston, S. C., because of his color, and hopes to prevent final action at this session. Whether he will ABRAHAM Whose One Hundredth Birthday An TAFT'S CHECK FOR ORPHANS. He Praises Work of Institution He Visited at Augusta. Augusta, Ga., Feb. 1—The Rev. Daniel McHorton, president of the Shiloh Orphanage, an institution for Afro-American orphans of Augusta, has received a note and a check for $25 from President-elect [Taft, Mr. Taft and Landon A. Thomas visited the orphanage recently, and Mr. Taft, seeing that, it was in need of funds, added his subscription. In his note he said: "I hope you can make the check useful in the work you are doing. We are exceedingly interested in your institution, and I hope you will live long to maintain it." Annual Tuskegee Conference The eighteenth annual "Tuskegee Negro Conference" is to be held at Tuskegee institute, Alabama. Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 17 and 18, 1909. Special committees have already been appointed by the executive council of the Tuskegee institute to arrange a program of exercises and to care for the comfort of such visitors as may be present. In addition to representative farmers, who will come from all of the have been sent by Principal Booker T. Washington to the presidents of all the Afro-American schools in the country, and to the editors of all of the Afro-American newspapers, as well as to considerable number of professional and other prominent representatives of the area, asking them to be present at the session. Reduced rates of one and one-third fare on the certificate plan have been granted by the Southeastern Passenger association. These rates apply south of the Ohio and Patomac rivers and east of the Mississippi river, and --- have assistance from any other Southern senators is not known, but so far as one senator is able to prevent action, Mr. Tillman's energies will be applied to that end. Robert Bacon, whose nomination as secretary of state has been confirmed by the senate, will direct our foreign relations for a little more than five weeks. This will not constitute the record to brevity, as Ellinh B Washburn of Illinois, President Grant's first secretary of state, served one week only. The appointment of Jewish chaplains in the army and navy is urged in a petition of the Federation of Jewish Organizations, of New York City, presented to the house. It is pointed out that the government provides chaplains of various denominations to minister to the moral wants of soldiers and sailors. The only exception is made in the case of Jewish soldiers, it is stated. The government is urged to remedy this condition of affairs by appointing chaplains of their own faith for the benefit of Jewish soldiers and sailors serving i n the army and navy. Representative Heflin of Alabama has introduced a bill in the House to prohibit labor on buildings in the District of Columbia on Sundays. Heflin is very particular about the observance of the Sabbath, but imagines he has the right to shoot down Afro-Americans any day of the week. Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury, is on a visit to the West. During his stay he will make a number of speeches in Oklahoma. The Afro-American is well represented on the Inaugural Committees. Judge R. H. Terrell and Mr. R. R. Horner are members of the general committee, Hon. W. T. Vernon, Hon. John C. Dancy and Hon. Ralph W. Tyler are on the Civic Organization Committee. Hon.

JAMES CHURCH NOTES. With everything carried out as arranged by Prof. Taylor, for the recital on Sunday night at St. James church, it will be the finest of the series of these recitals, which have become very popular; even admirers of the St. James high class service come from Minneapolis to these recitals. One of the features of this special service is a lay sermon by some distinguished and able speaker. The popular attorney, W. T. Francis, will breach tomorrow night, subject, "Cain and Cain." This will be "Francis Night" and St. James will be out in full in its best and looking its best. Messrs. Craig Williams and Allen J. French and Miss Hattie Loomis will do solo work and assist the choir in the rendition of some of its best selections. Taken all in all, it will be a grand service. The pastor will preach at 11 a.m. Subject, "The Bright and Morning Star." The ladies of the Mite Missionary society have arranged a "Mock Convention" to be held Feb. 18 and 19, both afternoon and evening. Some of the best speakers of the Twin Cities will take part. The Twin City Missionary Union will meet with St. James next Wednesday at 2 o'clock. This meeting is expected to be the largest in the history of the Union.

THURSTON Kellar's Worthy Successor in Mysa tory at the C tery at the Grand Next Week. In the realm of mirth, mystery and magic, Mr. Howard Thurston now stands alone. With an entirely new program of illusions this year, the cost running into a fabulous amount, he will succeed in sending from his entertainment audiences completely amazed, mystified and amused. Thurston's engagement here at the Grand begins Sunday matinee, Feb. 7, and it is the only attraction of its class now on the road since the retirement of Kellar. Young, ambitious and sincere in his work at all times, Thurston is destined to occupy his own position in the hall of fame. His program comprises twenty-six people, with one paranormalia, intricate and expensive entertainment, not ennosing an outlay of over $60,000. Thurston's program of subtle, intricate, marvelous and amusing endeavors, not only disarm criticism but entrance and astound the beholder. Whenever the auditor thinks he has discovered something he finds himself so completely mystified he makes no further attempts at disclosing in a fe wminutes a feat that has likely taken Thurston five years to invent and perfect, for one minute's enjoyment to the critic. Kellar on his retirement at the banquet given him in New York City last May, said; "Thurston will be the greatest magician the world has ever seen," and this praise came from the heart of a famous conjurer, who for over forty years has pleased, entertained and mystified millions of people all over the world.
