Confucianism has been made the state religion of China by the administrative council of the republic, although all religions are to be tolerated. It is understood that the president's intention is to set an example to the Chinese nation, which he thinks needs the moral influence of religion. The president will worship at the temple of Confucius and at the Temple of Heaven annually in the same way as the Manchu emperors did, but without wearing the diadem. One religion is as good as another and sometimes better and any old religion is better than the hypocritical force of Christianity as exemplified by Caucasian American Christians. Christianity is the state religion in many countries so it was rather presumptuous for the Christian missionaries to oppose the Chinese in having a state religion. The Chinese have acted wisely in having their own religion and not accepting the religion of the people who are doing everything in their power to degrade them. The opium traffic carried on by the British came near ruining the Chinese people, but England's aristocrats had to have the gold even if each coin represented a Chinese soul. Many alleged Christian nations, including the United States, have laws restricting Chinese immigration; Great Britain, an alleged Christian country, helped herself to Hong Kong some fifty years ago, Russia, an alleged Christian nation, gobbled up Manchuria; Germany, whose kaiser claims to rule by divine right, occupies a Chinese port; France, an alleged Christian nation, has appropriated a slice of Chinese territory and even little Portugal holds Macau. The shrewd Chinese realized that if they accepted Christianity they would at once be lowered in the estimation of the Christian world, that the Christians would probably proceed to enlarge their "spheres of influence" until their country would be PROTEST AGAINST WRONG To submit in silence makes cowards out of The human race has Had no voice been ignorance and lust; they serve the law, and guillot disputes.

The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Christianized out of existence. Wise Chinese! LET COLORED JUDGE STAY. President Wilson has a hard time of it placing the Southern fire-eaters who see red every time it is proposed to help the Negro. But he has gone far enough in that direction and public opinion will back him up in his apparent determination to reappoint Robert H. Terrell, a Negro, as municipal judge of the District of Columbia. The public will be the more anxious that Judge Terrell be continued in office because Senator Vardaman of Mississippi has served notice on the President that he will oppose the appointment. It is nothing to Vardaman that Terrell has served well as municipal judge. It is nothing to Vardaman that the retention of Judge Terrell in office will be an inspiration to other colored men in their struggle upward. Terrell is a a "nigger" and that damms him in Vardaman's eyes. If there could be a more narrow viewpoint than this, it has not been disclosed. Instead of condemning Terrell, Vardaman condemns himself and that section of the white race which, instead of encouraging the colored race, employs every means to keep the shackles on the Negro. Let President Wilson reappoint Judge Terrell. THE RACE IS RISING The greatest fakers the world has produced have been Caucasians. They have feeled their brethren out on billions of dollars by means of all sorts of schemes from religion to tango. It would require too much space to even name the many plans of separating their victims from their coin. Some time since one Charles A. Lomax, an Afro-American, became a little anew of the Caucasians who were extracting the "long green" from their confiding brethren and concluded that he could do something along that line himself. Lomax conceived the idea of teaching colored men to be Pullman porters by mail. Students sent in their money from all over the country. The postoffice inspectors say he promised to get them positions and failed to make good. He was held to the grand jury. Lomax was evidently a rather versatile fellow. His course included: Theory and practice of moral suasion as applied to tipping. Aesthetics of whiskbrooming. Art of bedmaking. The human smile and how to use it in extracting the coin. It has been the boast of the white South and the cringing Afro-American cowards who approve everything that the white South says, that there is no color line in labor and that white and black mechanics work together on the same buildings, etcetera. Even that has been changed to a great degree and now it seems that demagogue Please, the brutal governor of South Carolina has had a bill introduced which provides that "the two races shall not be permitted to engage in the same work at the same time at any place or in any manner whatsoever." The law is to apply to schools, Sunday schools, hotels, eating houses, hospitals, nurses in private homes and HOUSES OF ILL FAME. That the law recognizes the existence of houses of ill fame is sufficient to show the state of civilization in South Carolina. For many years the Southern liars have charged that the "Negro is responsible for the hookworm," but recent careful investigation has shown that among the "purest American stock," one in every two is suffering from the hookworm. Here is the report: "The people who dwell among the mountains of Kentucky are the purest RACE PREJUDICE. I am convinced myself, evil thing in this present judice; none at all. I the worst single thing and holds together more abomination than any of world. Through its book of coarse lust, suspicion and all the darkest soul. —H. G. V. I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than Race Prejudice; none at all. I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world. Through its body runs the black blood of coarse lust, suspicion, jealousy and persecution and all the darkest poisons of the human soul. e when we should protest men. is ombed on protest. raised against injustice, the inquisition yet would millotines decide our last , must speak and speak songs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. American stock on the continent. Out of 100,000 population there are but 16,000 foreigners. Yet one out of every two is suffering from the hookworm and one out of eight is a victim of trachoma." It may be added that these mountain people never owned slaves for the reason that they were too poor and have never had association in any form with black people. According to statistics of the census bureau, Minnesota's death rate is the lowest of any state in the Union. The Minnesota rate is 10.7, the lowest, against Maryland's 16.3, the highest. Who wouldn't live in Minnesota? Then, further, at the recent National Corn Show held at Dallas, Texas. Minnesota won the world's sweepstakes for the best ten ears of early grown sweet corn, and she also has the world record of ears of corn fifteen inches long. Not only is Minnesota cerealthful, but it produces the cereals that keep it so. Again, we say, who wouldn't or, who couldn't live in Minnesota? It is said that President Wilson wishes to show the Afro-Americans that he is not inimical to them. He can do it easily and without fear from the opposition of Vardaman. Mr. President, just pass the word down the line that there is to be no more segregation in the service of the United States government; revoke the separate toilet order and declare that Afro-Americans are to be treated just the same as other classes of Americans. Brig-Gen. John J. Pershing, former military governor of Mindanao, says that the Moros of the Philippine Islands have been pacified and that they will be good unless someone attempts to interfere with the Mohammedan religion. There is no reason why Americans should attempt to convert the Moros. They have a good religion and they are too shrewd to accept the jimcrow Christianity of the American Caucasians. Congress decided "not to offend Japan" and so the amendments offered to the pending immigration bill Tuesday were decisively defeated, thanks to Representative Mann of Illinois. They are very particular about Japan how-a-days. The amendments sought to exclude, "Mongolians, Malays and Negroes"—and they spelled Negroes with a small "n". According to press dispatches, Miss Bana Douglass proposes to spend a month in the Maine woods garbed as was Mother Eve before the fall. There will doubtless be more "hunters" in the Maine woods after it is announced that she has begun her feat than were ever there before at one time and they will be armed with telescopes as well as guns. How would you like to own some stock in the Premier diamond mines of South Africa? They paid a dividend of 400 per cent for the first half and 350 per cent for the second half of 1913. Instead of being eliminated the lynchers are following up-to-date methods in the South's favorite diversion. At Purceil, Oklahoma, recently, a mob in an automobile proceeded to the jail, took therefrom a colored man CHARGED with murder, carried him to Noble and hanged him. President Wilson could end segregation in the departments with a single word. Will he have the courage to give it? self that there is no more nt world than Race Pre- write deliberately—it is in life now. It justifies are baseness, cruelty and other sort of error in the body runs the black blood n, jealousy and persecu- st poisons of the human Wells in N. Y. Independent. On October 16, 1912, Woodrow Wilson, then the Democratic nominee for President, declared that: "Should I become President of the United States, they (the colored people) may count upon me for absolute fair dealing and for, everything by which I stand in advancing the interests of their race in the United States." This statement gave complete satisfaction to those the colored people and the friends of the race who were urging them to break away from their thraldom to the Republican party and to vote for the Governor of New Jersey on the question that the country would profit most by the selection of the Democratic ticket. Quincy observers believe that many more colored men voted the Democratic ticket in 1912 than ever before. When a group of citizens holds so federal offices as do the colored people, each one takes on a signifi-cative beyond any question of the salaries that may be attached to it. This is the reason the posts of the minister to Haytil and San Domingo. Not one of the stock Southern objections to Negro appointments holds here; these ministers are colored people where the bogle of some of them is raised. Under Mr. Wilson both of these posts have gone, temporarily, it is said, and doubtless for reasons satisfactory to Mr. Bryan, to white colored people at large accepted this by the Government race prejudice was having in some of the Departments at Washington. What had not been dreamed of under Mr. Cleveland, though begun in one office under Mr. Taft, was the negregation of Negro clerks and women. It appeared that the Secretary of the Treasury had planned to put Patterson at the head of an exclusively colored division upon the "that it would give to Caldoo's own words an opportunity of national dimensions prove their fitness to run, unnaided by whites, an important bureau of the Department." Just why this benefit should not have been dropped as soon as it appeared was not a colored man was to head an insonation has not appeared; if it had the merit claimed for it, the colored people should not have deprived of the opportunity of collectively demoting them, which, in the individual, has long been down to all familiar with the Government's operations. good enough to die alongside of white men in saving the day at San Juan Hill are now learning to know the gratitude of Republics. These colored people who are thus branded are not routabouts, or corner loafers, or worthless laborers. They are educated men and women, from all over the country many of them, from all over the country, many of them passed their civil service examination entered the Government's employ with full faith in its justice, asking merely the right to serve on equal terms with their fellows. The readers of the American Review will understand the importance of the segregation orders if they agine themselves set apart as unworthy by brute authority, but they can hardly appreciate the added sense of disfranchisement which comes from the fact that this is the Federal Government. The colored men of the Federal Government. The colored men of the children of Israel bore their burdens, the wrongs of disfranchisement, the lynchings and burnings of innocent and guilty, the mutilation of the "Jim Crow" car, the burning of the "Jim Crow" insults of low whites; these were the individuals or of States lately in rebellion. But that the Federal Government, under whose flag they have fought in every war, under whose flag they have fought in war, which struck their fetters from the ground, should now take the side of the oppressed in the year of the fiftieth anniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation—this is its incapitation and rallies beyond all else. Is it any wonder that a race of national renown writes that he never seen his people so discouraged and so embittered as to day? * * * * * * * And his philosophy if he remains silent and segregates further, will be wrong, his democracy gravely at fault; he has given us an opportunity to make improvements in his book called "The New Testament" and in his various speeches and to since his election to the Presidency. But nowhere thus far do we and any indication that his democracy is not limited both by the sex immeirability of the electorate, we see that to discriminate in his democracy against any one is to bring his whole carefully edified edifice crashing to the ground. The principles upon which our democracy rests must be understood in the context of nationalization, as exactly as a law of science, or they are open to doubt at once. Thus, we should not believe in the law of gravitation if it did not apply alike to every human being; we should not impose any restrictions on wireless invention if he could transmit only the first half of the alphabet and not the last. It avails the apologists for the President not at all to say that "The New Freedom" applies only to political and economic problems but an e-nonomical and political one. It would certainly be ridiculous for Mr. Wilson, his publishers, to expect any appreciative reading among the millions of disfranchised men and women or white men and women, of his theory of the coming of a new political freedom at the very moment when there is placed upon the colored by two of his own cabinet an official stigma which no amount of money can buy. What Mr. Meadcoe does not appreciate is that the slightest yielding to prejudice on the part of a high Federal official will find a dozen imitators in the lower official ranks who think by outdoing their peers to curry favor with those in power. What he does not see is that if only one colored man or woman has been segregated it gives the deliberate lie to Mr. Wilson's promise, to advance the interests of the race and violates his pledge of absolute equality. The man during the President are not use defenders of this Government's reputation or honor and of the rights or the colored people, but those subordinates who by their official actions have made tribulous the President's word. Wittyly or unwittingly the Wilson Administration has allied itself with the forces of reaction, and the subordinates, the former, of every oppressor, of every perpetrator of racial injustice in the South or the North. raising it's race issue does not stop there. It differs but very little from the one that rent the Union. The great struggle which convulsed the United States was, in its simplest terms, nothing else than an attempt to create two classes of human beings in this country, the slaves and the free. They were willing to sacrifice the Union and everything else to this end. Those who in this day and generation are seeking to establish two classes of citizens, the disfriended and enfranchised, that there are two fields of Government employees—as does Mr. McAdoo's Cabinet associate—the are on the high road to convulsing anew this land of liberty, which will never know peace and quiet as long as there are discriminations among its citizens. Upon their heads will be the responsibility of forcing the human beings, to oppose them full equality, is to court disaster. For each repression there is certain to come a terrible reckoning. THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the ma- scientious dischar- to stand alone; ther ant, intolerant ju- demn, the counter may be averted, friends grow cold, duty done shall be applause of the w ances of relatives friends.—Charles S THE REPUBLIC'S SHAME. I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Summer. For the first time in the history of the United States, the machinery of the government of 90,000,000 people is being used to humiliate and degrade 10,000,000 of its loyal and law-abiding citizens. In some of the departments of the Federal Government at Washington Afro-American employees have been segregated from their former associates and fellow workers and ordered to use separate retiring rooms. In some instances cages have been built to separate Afro-American and white government clerks. No other class is obliged to bear this badge of degradation. There is no warrant in law for these orders of subordinate officials. The facts have been brought to the attention of the Department heads and thousands of petitions, memorials and letters have been sent to President Wilson, but up to this writing he has not seen fit to rescind this infamous un-American policy. The clerks who have been humiliated by the segregation orders are in no sense wards of the government. They have won their places by examination and women and the government which they have so faithfully and efficiently served has no right to place upon them this badge of dishonor. It is not a question of social equality that chimera which so many Caucasians claim to fear, but of civil equality which is the right of every citizen. Heretofore the attempts to degrade the citizenry have been the work of individual states in the Southern Tier; the Federal Government must be held responsible for this new attempt to establish that impossible thing, caste in a Republic. Honest fair minded Americans feel that the fair fame of our country is being trailed in the dust; they hang is the Nation's shame. We hold President Wilson responsible because in the final analysis the acts of his subordinate officials are his and he has the power to end this injustice by a word. We have not lost faith in the President and we believe that he will carefully consider the many protests which have been made and give the word which a Christian Statesman should give, that during his administration there shall be no segregation or discrimination on account of race, creed or color among the servants of the government. WORK FOR VARDAMAN AND SMITH. Investigation of the history and habits of the parasites of the cotton boll weevil in a more comprehensive way, than ever is proposed by Secretary Houston of the Department of Agriculture. He wants more funds appropriated with which to employ experts. Here is an excellent opportunity for Senators Vardaman and Hoax Smith and Representatives Heflin of Alabama and Clark of Florida to employ their talents. Instead of spending their time in vilifying Afro-American citizens over whose backs they have illegally climbed into power they might make speeches in Congress in favor of an appropriation to eliminate the boll weevil. This would really aid the South. The so-called governments in the Southern states can not last. They are founded on injustice, prejudice and hate. If the Afro-American is worthy of his civil rights he will contend for them and no power on earth can stay his progress. WANTED, A SAMARITAN. Prone in the road he lay.

THE ONLY SOLUTION. Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1007 to the end of 1812, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programs. But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian. "Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. The balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be traveling the only road toward it. "I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man a as the black." HINDUS SHOULD BEWARE! Hindu students from practically every leading American university attended the meeting of the Hindusun Association of the United States at Chicago last week. They are trying to encourage the young men and women of India to attend American schools. It may be all right now but if the number becomes very great they would be treated in America just as Afro-Americans are treated—with contempt. Even now Hindus are practically barred from the Pacific Coast and in the South they find it necessary to wear turbans to prevent being mistaken for Afro-Americans and being subjected to the insult and degradation of the jim crow car and other devilish devices of that benighted section of the country. Dr. W. Ward Platt, of Philadelphia, is very anxious to convert the Astatic people living on the Pacific coast to Christianity. Judging by newspaper reports, it would seem that the Caucasians themselves need to be converted to true Christianity. The Astatians are behaving themselves, making money, educating their children and conducting themselves with more propriety than the white heathen, who endeavor to oppress them. ```markdown ``` A WEEK'S RECORD IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITAL The "Saintly City" and I Saintly City Folks—Neway Items of Social, Religious, Political and General Matters Are the People.

The Oklahoma Song Bird Will Sing at Pilgrim Baptist Church Tomorrow Morning. The people of St. Paul are to be given an opportunity to hear Mme. Bruce, the famous Nightingale Songbird, morning at 10:45, at Pilgrim Baptist Church, at which time she will render some sacred selections in which she excels. Mme. Bruce has appeared in a memoir by her mother and where she has created a form of enthusiasm. Her voice is remarkably MME. E. L. BRUCE. strong and; at the same time, is bird like in its sweetness. She recently appeared in a concert in Minneapolis and all who heard her were delighted. Mme. Bruce sang at one of the churches in Baltimore and the Afro-American Ledger of that city had this among other things to say: "The sacred concert was a great success spiritually and financially. The singing of Mme. Bruce so touched the hearts of all persons who persons were received into the church through the invitation extended by the pastor." It is quite a gracious act on the part of Mme. Bruce to remain here and sing tomorrow when she has more engagements than she can fill. Don't to hear her, everybody don't, without money and without price. ENGAGED. The friends of Mrs. H. E.

Wilson, Esq., a young lawyer from Banyan, Ind., and B. H. Schrider, Esq., of St. Paul. Master Eddie Reid, formerly of Nashville, Tenn., who claims to be a son, was represented by Attorney O'Malley. Mr. Shelly Williams, a grand nephew, was represented by Lawyer Ewing. Mrs. Florence Jacobs, of St. Paul; and Mrs. Sallie Wilson, of Louisville, KY, cousins, were represented by Lawyer W. R. Morris of Minneapolis. The Capital Trust Co., the administrator, was represented by Lawyer W. Francis. While the decision was rendered, the court finds the matter under advisement, the general impression is that the findings will be in favor of Mrs. Josephine Reid-Green and her brother, with possibly a portion for Eddie Reid. Such a decision would shut out the other claimants and they may take an appeal, in which case the matter will be prolonged indefinitely. Lawyer Wilson made a very good impression with the people, the bench and the bar all considering him to be a very clever disciple of Blackstone. A Verdict for $2,999.99. George T.

T. Williams Gets a Verdict Against the Pullman Co. for $2,999.99 On March 26 of last year George T. Williams, a Pullman car porter, was taken into custody and duty and the inspector R. T. Williams told him he could not make the trip. As no real harm had been done, porter Williams objected to this and just for spite inspector Williams called an officer and had porter Williams arrested, charging him with being a prostitute and placed in durance lance. The case was tried in the police court with Attorney W. T. Francis representing porter Williams, and the defendant was acquitted. Attorney Francis immediately brought suit for malicious prosecution, asking for damages in the case. He was then postponed from time to time, but finally came to trial on Friday February 6, before Judge Lewis and a jury. The Pullman Company was represented by Lawyers McDemott and Denegree and Mr. Francis had associated with him Lawyer E. S. Thompson to give testimony to the jury last Tuesday. The jury, after being out just as many minutes as porter Williams was late on March 26, returned a verdict for $2,999.99 the full amount sued for. It may be somewhat interesting to state that this is the largest verdict ever rendered in Ramsey county in a suit for malicious prosecution. The case doubtless will be appealed for which forty days time is allowed, but porter Williams and lawyer Francis won the first round and it is hoped they will win in the next round if there is to be another.
