Entered as second class matter June 6, 1885 at the postoffice at St. Paul Mills, under act of Congress, March 8 1885 SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1915. The Atlanta Constitution has for years filled its columns with false stories of the lawlessness of the colored people and has caused the lynching of many innocent men and women. The Constitution now comes forward with a true story of white savagery, which is so remarkable that we reprint it in full. The strangest part of this strange tale is that it is not a fictional story of the remnants of a primeval race in a strange and distant land, spun, perhaps, by the weird fancy of a Jack London, but that it happened in the civilized land of Georgia. It is the experience of Robert S. McCord, of the Georgia Children's Home Society, as told by himself. He brought to Atlanta the other day from the hills of Floyd county four small children—the youngest $4\frac{1}{2}$ and the oldest 9 years, and he placed in a public hospital another suffering from sciatic rheumatism and the loss of a toe. This is the story: There came to Mr. McCord reports of two mothers and five children living in destitution verging upon savagery in an unfrequented section of Floyd county. With the sheriff of Floyd county Mr. McCord went to investigate. Back up in the hills they found the home—a crude arrangement of tattered tent cloth, logs, and mud, built by the hands of the two mothers who lived there with their brood of five. The older of the mothers was just in the prime of her years, but already bent with the toll of a lifetime. The younger was only 16 years, her child being about 4 years old. The children, clad in meager stretches of cloth, skittered, like chipmunks, in and out of the gaping holes of the improvised structure. Their mothers squatted near an open fire burning several feet distant from the hut under a battered tin boiler in which all their food was cooked.

The human race has climbed on protest. Mad no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. The jargon of the mothers was so illiterate that it was barely intelligible. When it was understood that the newcomers were there for the purpose of carrying away the children, the mothers went mad with rage. The eldest snatched away from him the child Mr. McCord was leading by the arm to a big automobile that stood in the roadway. She flew at his throat, screaming incoherently. The other members of his party were a considerable distance away. The younger mother snatched from inside the crude hut, a single-barreled shotgun, and leveled it upon the association officer. The sheriff struck the gun from her hands before it was discharged. The officials were compelled to subdue both women before the children could be safely removed. MINNESOTA'S PROTEST. Prior to the adjournment of Congress, the Saint Paul Branch of the National Independent Equal Rights League, through its president, sent letters to Minnesota's Senators, Knute Nelson and Moses E. Clapp, protesting against the enactment of cimcw laws and asking their aid in preventing the passage of adverse legislation of any kind, especially the bills affecting the District of Columbia, one of which had already passed the House of Representatives. Since the adjournment of Congress, the following letters have been received and they speak for themselves as to the stand of our Senators in regard to such legislation: Washington, D. C., March, 1915. Dear Mr. Adams: Your letter to hand in due time. Congress has adjourned and the legislation to which you refer has failed to pass either house of Congress and I do not believe that such legislation is likely to pass in the future. Your truly. Washington, D. C., March, 1915. Dear Adams: You at hand. There is no danger of any adverse legislation. There was very little danger of any legislation relative to the District, because Senator Jones is a member of the District Committee and he is one of the most loyal of friends. I think there will be no trouble next session. At all events, you may depend upon it that before they get any adverse legislation they will realize they have encountered some apposition. With regards, I am cordially yours, Moses E. Clapp. CHARITY. MAKES COWARDS. "Charity makes for slaves, cowards and sycophants," said "Mother Jones" of Colorado mine field fame, recently Her words are true. Men cheat their employees out of what is their just due and become rich and when they have accumulated millions they pose as "philanthropists" and endeavor to perpetuate their names by giving money for libraries or "charities," or Christian (?) associations. Instead of being great philanthropists, these men, in many cases, are simply thieves who really ought to be in prison for having robbed their fellow men. No class has suffered more from the "philanthropies" of these rich thieves than the colored people and their nefarious work has been aided by so-called colored leaders who have taken the role of public mendicants and have begged for money to organize fjcmcrow institutions and thus prevent their own class from securing their rights as American citizens.

The product of the segregated institution is usually a crop of young colored people with slavish instincts; cringing cowards, servile sycophants. Great God deliver the people from such charity and give them justice. No adverse legislation was passed by the Congress just ended, but this does not mean that the fight is over. It will be introduced in the next Congress and in the meantime some of the states will try to put some jim crow stuff over. Colored people should be ready everywhere in the country to fight proscriptive legislation. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." Mr. L. Wilbur Messer of Chicago, who has jim crow ideas of Christianity and caused the erection of a jim crow Y. M. C. A. in Chicago, says that the "Y. M. C. A. is an aggressive factor." That's true, it has done as much "aggressively" to injure the colored people as any factor in American life. And it does all "in the name of the Lord." This is a great country for bunk. A bill prohibiting the giving of tips on sleeping and parlor cars, has passed the Missouri senate. As the porters on sleeping and parlor cars are all colored men it looks like a bill aimed at that particular class of people. If the Missouri solons wish to be fair they should make the bill include tips everywhere. We hope it will not become a law. The Greiner-Tallet bill requiring the reading of ten verses of the Bible every day in the public schools of the state of New York is dead. The Jews and some other religious denominations were in at the death. That's right. And the Bible is all right, but it should not be forced on people who do not wish it. William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Guardian, is having remarkable meetings all over the country. Great crowds are flocking to hear him talk on the "Evils of Segregation." That's a good subject of which the average colored man needs to learn a great deal. Keep up with the good work Mr. Trotter. Do not be satisfied with jim crow accommodations in any public place. It is criminal for a colored man to advocate separate public schools, separate public libraries, separate public play grounds or separate public institutions of any kind. There can not be two standards of citizenship in a republic. A ray of hope comes from Butte, Mont., where Des Stewart, on trial for first degree murder, got a verdict of life imprisonment instead of being hung, because the jury did not desire the impression to go abroad that prejudice on account of color influenced the verdict. Mr. James J. Hill the "Empire Builder", said recently, "The war will end suddenly and soon." We hope his predictions will come true soon. We don't need war. A colored fisherman saved the life of millionaire George W. Perkins, at Palm Beach recently, but the Associated Press failed to give the name of the hero in the dispatch. The Germans seem not to be troubled as to the ultimate outcome of the war being in their favor. The Reichstag has just voted a new war tax credit of $1,250,000,000. man who in the con- ge of his duty dares the world, with ignor- dgment, may con- nances of relatives and the hearts of but the sense of sweeter than the world, the counten- or the hearts of UNION HEALTH SERVICE And Christia Attacks Meeting at Pilgrim Baptist Church a Church of Glowing Success. Last Sunday evening Pilgrim Baptist Church crowded on the occasion of the Upland Church of St. James A. M. E. Church, St. Phillip Episcopal Church and Pilgrim Baptist Church. The music was furnished by the church of St. James A. M. E. Church. He told the objects of the meeting and introduced Dr. Val Do Turner, who made a splendid health talk as follows: Introduced Rev H. P. Jones, of St. James A. M. E. Church, who spoke in the interest of Crispus Attacks Home. He was followed by Mr. George W. James who also spoke for the Home. He had been going on for a few days and was made the solicitor's was made a report that $102.00 in cash had been raised and there were numerous pledges signed. The meeting was a grand success in every way. Mr. George W. Health Day is a rebuke to this government and is 20th Century Civilization. It ought to be a National Health Day without the qualifying adjective Negro, but, such is the status of things in this land of liberty and opportunity, that, the citizen must survive, a certain portion of the citizenry of the country in the certain day of the year to fight for their existence. It not only means to fight disease as 'it comes to the average citizen but to fight' as it is allowed and is thrust at his doors, as I shall Health Day means, this address. This Health Day means, especially those living in the Southland. For that reason the leaders of the race, headed by Dr. Booker T. Washington, have advertised this day and week widely to try to raise the Negro to the imending dancers which await him and his posterity. The future of the Negro depends upon his ability to systematically conserve his health. Beginning with today and continuing for one week, the South every town and hamlet in the South will be taught to and lectured to and shown how to house his house, his barns, his yards and last but not least, his person. It has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the same surroundings the American Negro is the equal to the other people, be that in athletics or in military insurance in many things is even greater. The great increase in population in the last fifty years is marvelous when we compare it to that of other people, placed in a position which gives them a chance of everything that has been brought into the human family for comfort and happiness. Two of the greatest factors which have operated against the Negro in this country are prejudice and segre- Dr. VAL DO TURNER. ation. Prejudice begets segregation. When it comes to a place of residence in the cities the Negro is given the right to vote. In the cities the houses which have become untenable for other people. The laws of sanitation which are so rigidly enforced on other people are left optionless. The Negro is not supposed to send their money to care for sick and infirmed white persons without giving the Negro the least consideration. A few weeks ago I sent out a letter to the Negro of the Highlands of each of the Southern States to find out what was being done for the prevention and cure of tuberculosis among the Negroes; each letter was read out of all of these letters but I want to extract from some of the more typical ones: Arkansas State Board of Health, Little Rock Ark. In regard to your inquiry of the 11th room, will you that we have State Sanitarium for the treatment of tuberculosis for white people only, and a mental appropriation of about 55,000 pounds to make to maintain it. If has hundred and twenty-five bed capacity Yours very truly. G. W. G. WORREN, State Health Officer. State Tuberculosis Sanitarium, Terra Ralva, W. Va. Remitting to your letter asking for statistics on the subject of tuberculosis in our state, will say in answer to your first question that the state does not care for the colored tuberculosis patients. Very truly, yours. E. E. Clavis, M. D. Supt. Public Health Association, Austin, Texas. We have a State Sanatorium for the care of white tuberculosis patients only, no provision being made for the colored people. Very truly yours. R. J. Newton, Executive Secretary. State Board of Health, Catawba San- torium, Va. At present the only two places in the state are Negroes are treated are the penitentiary and insane asylum. Very truly yours, John J. Lloyd, M. D. Resident Physician. Such letters as these would right- fully belong to you when civilization was at its lowest and Christianity almost blotted out. It cannot be gainstain that diseases of all kinds are taking a heavy toll in the Negro population of this country, the women and women are filling untitling graves. Take for example the report before me from Mississippi where the population of white and colored is 13,000, while statistics ends March 14, 1844. Number of deaths of white and colored were 21,306, making an annual death rate of 11.3 per thousand. Number of deaths of whites, 7,644, making an annual death rate of 10.8 per thousand. Number of deaths of colored, 18,682, making a death rate of 13 per cent. per thousand. The report says further that of the total number of deaths, 9,012 were preventable. The unnecessary deaths among whites were 3,233; among Negroes were 5,775; among whites, any race is an economic loss, and especially is this true when it comes to insurance. This fact has worked a great hardship upon the Negro for at every operation, the been published that the death rate is higher than much higher than that of other people, and of course they have not been generous enough in the same article to give the reasons. It cannot be deceived by taking in by states, the death rate is much higher, the everywhere among Negroes than among whites. Forty-nine negroes died in St. Paul in 1910, an increase of nineteen over the death rate. The death rate was 15.5 for 1,000 population, against 13.3 in 1900. In Minneapolis there were 56 deaths n'1910; 22 in 1900. The death rate was 21.5 in 1910 and 14.2 in 1900, an increase of 0.73. The reason for this is obvious to you. This Health Day is the beginning of an educational campaign to teach the Negro how to reduce this high risk. Fortunately for him, two great factors have made the country just now which will go a long way toward helping him. The first is Prohibition that has gone into effect in most of the Southern States which have been the biggest money to buy food and clothing. The second is the National Drug Law which went into effect March 1, 1915. While neither of these laws were the Negro they are the greatest blessings brought to him in the last half century. As little as you may realize, thousands and thousands of Negroes of this country are addicted to the drug. In many of the cases it has been through the use of patent medicines. Let me state here that the Negro is the greatest user of patent medicines of any other race of people. This drug is used by any patent medicine in this country, taining any form of narcotic. Most of the cough-syrups put up and sold by druggists contain some form of nicotine and in the majority of cases, after a few weeks, two bottles of such syrup, they variably find they can not do without it and they are always loud in praises to their friends about "Dr. So-and-you" who dictate that they would be very indignant if they accused of being dope fiends but the fact remains that they are. I have had, since the first of March, here among colored people, lots of cocaine and other high syrups which had always given me meditated. After being without this remedy for a few months they will realize that their coughs will get well from the syrup and the many dollars can be turned into some other channel. There are two things which I want to urge in this address, namely, ventilation and out-door exercise. If I want to learn it the Negro wants to learn it is ventilation of our public gatherings where we congregate in large numbers, the air is so foul that it is an effort to keep it at a minute one lowers a window some places and around with a frown. I never go into a public gathering of our people that I don't realize the need of fresh air. I am making a special appeal tonight to the Negro to give a gospel of ventilation and fresh air. In former years theologians taught "Saving Grace" only but today theologians teach service and by servicing an individual for a useful life in this world as preparing him for the life to come. If the ministers will go about this systematically in the homes they visit their congregations they will not be called back and there will be fewer funerals. What applies to the public places is just as applicable to the homes. They not only lack ventilation but the little aisle which comes through the walls, but which is shared with one or two dogs. We need them living rooms are no places for dogs. Dogs are subject to the same diseases as men and can communicate them as easily. Entering a sick room for the best time, and finding a dog attacking his head out from under the bed or lying upon the bed. I at once make up my mind that I have a hard battle to fight. The extreme alone this line carries as a few years ago in an experiment with a dog called to see a patient and sat down by the bed. Reaching under the covers for the patient's wrist to take the pulse, to my great surprise I caught hold of a dog which the patient was not aware of. In our arms. No one admires a dog more than I, but their place is out-of-doors. Negroes living in large cities in the Southern States are dreadfully handicapped when it comes to out-door play. They have been in recent years that the white South have risen to the idea of the necessity of parks and public playgrounds and no sooner begin to play than an up goes the slim "No negro allows all the playgrounds are going to provide parks and grounds for themselves with their limited means is beyond my comprehension, and yet these things are just too much to play in, clothing in, the North where all the children provided us, I regret to say we do not take advantage of them as we should. In going to parks and lakes in summer days and holidays, it is noticeable how few colored people you see. Our churches would be serving a good purpose if they would organize this summer park and out-door clubs to advantage of every opportunity to visit the church. A few of the women could get together one day in the week, take their lunches to the parks, have their husbands meet them there and spend the day at the women go early in the morning or at the women go early so that they would have a chance to run and tumble over the grass for a day. The authorities on parks and playgrounds have advanced a new idea—"Keep off the ground, take down the signs" to encourage the children to get on the grass and play. The last thought I want to leave with you is to the individual himself. As a man thinketh in his heart he is the relation between mind and body is the relation between body being a physician and a student human nature realized that many of the diseases which the physician is called upon to treat are imaginary and brought on by auto-sugression and built up a science, the built up a science, a new theory which has attracted thousands of people. Men and women who think of diseases and talk of diseases and read of diseases are generally victims of RACE PREJUDICE. I am convinced myself evil thing in this present justice; none at all.

Independent A PROTEST FRM FREEDOM'S BIRTHPLACE. I hang my head for shame that a committee of the Anglo-Saxon Race, to which I belong, has reported to the Congress of the United States a bill to provide separate cars for Colored American citizens in the District of Columbia to be administered by national Government. Such a bill, if presented at the close of the Civil War, fifty years ago, would have excited less comment. It is rather late in our country's history to separate any class of our fellow citizenry from the facilities for travel. Representatives of the Hebrew, Irish, Teutonic, Slavic and Latin races may ride there they please. If Booker Washington, on whom Harvard conferred a degree of his fellow citizenry, was an honor man at Yale in Bols, historian of "The Crisis," former Assistant Attorney-General Lewis; and William Monroe Trotter must be put into separate cars in Washington as being unaware to associate with their fellow citizenry it is time vigorous protest were made. This is much more objectionable in the capitol of the Nation than elsewhere. Visitors from other nations library and other Congressional Library and other institutions will have an object lesson hourly before them, in the separation and degradation of our fellow citizens. One provision of the law which it is obligated to impose on our imprisonment for six months for anyone who violates its provisions, and this applies to those in charge of street cars, taxicabs or any vehicle porters, etc., are housed as special police for its enforcement. **Premeditated.** That this is a part of a previously determined and clearly defined Southern policy is obvious from a letter written by Thos. H. Caraway, who is in charge of who reported the proposed law and who wrote on the stationery of the House of Representatives under date of "Personally, I shall vote for every measure that tends to segregate the races, with reference to residence, transportation, and occupation, and I believe that measures of that kind are assessed at the coming term of Congress." From this it appears that he wishes Come from the part of the city, ride only on car set apart for them, and to deprive them of their freedom, where they can earn an honest living. The writer of this editorial takes this ground, that segregation is always a badge of inferiority and is so indulged in segregation based on color alone, is also indulgent. Let no one think that we would do away with classes in society. There will always be a wide gulf between the educated and the ignorant, the educated and the ignorant, the vulgar and the gentle and but all these conditions are not based on a person having one-eighth or one-third-second of African blood in his veins but are based upon conditions that can change he will. The writer belittles time has come when the Colored race should repudiate the leadership of those who advise further forbearance and subservience and tame submission at the front of the crowd in recent visit of the editor of this paper to the White House he had gone in at the back door with a basket asking for cold victuals, all would be well, but when he went in at the front he would be spoken to and looked the President straight the eye and asked for justice, he was met with the remark that he spoke with a "background of passion" and that the "tone of his voice" was not with some warmth. He would be human if he had not, when he felt that he was spokesman of 10,000,000 American citizens, asking not for favors, but for rights. The race should be to be more concerned with the rior advantage of leghorn pullets for farmers and the fact that there is not yet a hog aplece raised in each Colored family in the South, than it is with the lynchings, African exclusion, rior advantage of leghorn pullets and finally separation in cars, based on color alone. Let us pray for a leader who shall get out of the arena of the barnyard and get into the arena of freedom and the rights of man. Lose not Freedom Gained by Abol- litionists. Let us not lose the freedom for which Garrison, Phillips, Sumner, Andrew, John Brown and a host of others laid down their lives. Let us "HUMAN NATURE My ear is My soul is sick with ev Of wrong and outrage, There is no flesh in man, It does not feel for man Of brotherhood is seve That falls asunder at t He finds his fellow gui Not colored like his ov To enforce the wrong.

One of the most fitting testimonials ever held in St. Paul was the splendid banquet given in honor of Mr. Frederick Douglass McCracken, last Monday evening by a number of his fellow townmen, as a slight token of appreciation of the great service he has rendered to his race, not only in St. Paul, but all over the United States the months leading up to December years he has filled the responsible position of private secretary for Congressman Frederick C. Stevens, of the Fourth Congressional District of Minnesota. "A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country and among his own people," says holy writ, but this occasion was a delightful exception of the rule, and Mr. McCracken may well have his bosom to swell with pride because of the many, many good things that were said of him by this coterie of his friends that gathered at the Busy Bee Cafe to do his business on Monday evening. Messrs. F. D. Parker and G. W. Wills were the leading spirits ranging for the banquet but it was an easy task, as every one was as willing as themselves to honor our highly esteemed citizen. The guests for this occasion, to the number of 35, gathered around the splendidly decorated festive board about nine o'clock, and after the throne of Grace had been addressed in a very appropriate manner by Rev. N. B. Murrell, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, the evidences of the rare skill de cuisine of mine host, W. F. T. Chandler, received special attention. The menu was as follows: Cream of Tomato Pickles Olives Celery Radishes Chicken a la Malabar Green Eggs Potatoes After the toothsome viands had been disposed of and the fragrant Havanas had been lighted, Mr. F. D. Parker, the toastmaster, rapped for order and briefly stated the object of the occasion and read a communication from Mr. T. H. Lyles, who was to respond to "Our Guest" but was prevented from being present by a sudden attack of lumbago. The communication told of the advent of the guest of honor in our city, from whence he came, his ambitions and desires, his wedding of one of St. F. D. McCRAICKEN Paul's fairest daughters, and of the many services he had rendered while in Washington, ete. He also read a communication from Mr. C. H. Miller, who was unaware, but detailed, but who later put in his appearance. The toastmaster, who moved to be the right man in the right place, then proceeded to call upon the assembled guests for remarks and all called upon resounded handsily at more or less length, and while it is impossible to give at length what each one said, let it suffice to say that each one said something good of the honored guest and presented many excellent thoughts and truths. Seldom, if ever before, have so many magnificent thoughts been presented. Rev. N. B. Murrell, gave some splendid tales. The Possibilities of Our Young Men." M. O. C. Hall smoke on "Our Young Men the Hopes of the Race." Mr. W. T. Francis outdid himself, making one of the best sneaches of life on "Right Thinking." Mr. A. H. Hall smokes on Mr. A. V.

These are but a few "race men" that I have met. And they rump you full of their race loving quark I'll not call them liars, friend, When they claim they are race-men; But their only real claim is—their skins are black. Mr. C. H. Miller having arrived gave a shortologue. Mr. Owen Howell, representing "The Dirty Eleven," said a few pert- ient things. Mr. J. H. Loomis told about the "Older Citizens." Mr. Charles Sumner Smith, of the Twin City Star, held up the Minne- apolis end of the occasion. Defective Page WAIT! BOWLBY HALL SIXTH AND ROBERT STREETS WEDNESDAY EVE.

AFRO-AMERICAN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Never before has that get-together spirit been shown by the Negro men of the city as it is now. Apparently they have seen the necessity of UNION AMONG MEN, and are taking a step forward in their progress. The example set by the twenty-seven men, who were present at the get-together banquet on February 15, and who pledged themselves to co-operate with their fellow men in the uplift of our men and boys in the city, has been taken by 100 men or more. A large per cent of this number have already paid part of their initiation fee for membership in the Athletic Association. The membership committee is making a thorough canvass of the city and are meeting with great success. At the McCracken banquet on last Monday evening, every man present was signed up for membership, bringing our membership list up near the 100 mark. With the present amount of interest continued, St. Paul promises to have as fine a Colored Athletic Association as there is in the west. The Negro is his own salvation, and through him must come the solution of those problems that have to do with his race. The part that the Athletic Association intends to take in helping to solve those problems is to develop stronger, healthier, better men for a stronger, healthier, better race. H. R. Crawford, Gen.

A very strong example of this is seen in the medical student who develops in its early training every new disease which he studies. I recall a room mate of mine who imagined he had a new disease each day as we took up a new subject. Let me recount a few things I have tried to impress upon you in this paper. We are our brother's keeper; we have no right to do a thing to ourselves which will effect or injure another. We should do what leth in our power to reduce the death rate.

Adams made a few pertinent remarks. Mr. Geo W. Wills made a few very appropriate remarks and presented a large silver loving cup to Mr. McCracken bearing the inscription: Colored Citizens of St. Paul, in appreciation of services rendered to the community and the race.

He also told of the many services rendered to the race by Messrs. F. A. Conn, Chas. Pickett and Harry Williams, employees at the Capitol at Washington, that the had many good words to savor to his chief, Congressman F. C. Stevens, as also did others during the evening. At the close of Mr. McCracken's speech the party adjourned after singing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow."
