NO. 19 JUDGE OUTLINES DUTY OF PARENTS A NEW LAW IS LAID DOWN. In Alienation Suit, Brought by Coachman Who Married Daughter of a Millionaire, Justice Hough of New York Says Love and Mammon Are Not In Any Way Associated—His Decision. New York. — The action of Judge Charles M. Hough in the federal district court in refusing to allow the jury to consider the suit brought by Max Frederick Kleist against Mr. and Mrs. Edward E. Brewitt for $250,000, charging alienation of affections, is not of great interest in itself, but in an attempt to his elicitation. Justice Hough has answered questions of thousands of novels and movie plays—he has stated the relations of parents to children who are married without parental consent. Max Kleist, the plaintiff, was once a coachman and gardener. Juliet, eighteen, is the daughter of the Brettungs. Mr. Brettung is many times a millionaire and an extensive miner and shipowner. Kleist worked for a shipwain in Michigan whose home adjoined the Brettungs' summer place. Juliet became infatuated with the good looking coachman, obtained an introduction, married him without the knowledge of her parents, and made her embarked of him and returned to her parents. After Kleist had been sent to one of Mr. Brettung's mules to make his way in the world he tired of the place. Re JUSTICE CHARLES M. HOUGH. turning to New York, he attempted to regain his wife. His offers were spurned. Then followed his $20,000 suit charging allegation of offences. After hearing the evidence Justice Hough dismissed the suit and propounded what he said was a theory of law designed to cover such cases and to minimize the scandal and discourage the institution of "such sordid demands as have been here exhibited." He held that while parental authority may terminate with marriage, the parental relation continues and that no parent is bound at the peril of a successful suit requests to approve of his child's marriage. "There is a duty to pursue this course because litigation like this have been happily almost unknown in the national courts, and no decisions of binding authority at present control the action of this tribunal. A plaintiff who in pain language sought pecuniary consolation from a wealthy father-in-law who refused to show by payments of money or the furnishing of business opportunity his appreciation of that plaintiff as a son-in-law would be out of touch with his own statement. "All such suits are rather promoted by or against the mother-proof, rest on the same legal basis—namely, the alleged wrong of the defendants in depriving the plaintiff of the society, affection and services of a wife or the protection, support and affection of a husband, as the case may be. "But when the defendants are not strangers, but parents, the family relation, which antedated matrimony, greatly modifies the law and has considerable number of opinions in all sorts of English speaking world not capable of recognizing and furnishing help to almost any contention related to what are commonly called alienation suits." "The doctrines preferred by me and so far as I am concerned to be enforced are these: The parental authority may be admitted to terminate with the celebration of a lawful marriage by the child, and even parental power and influence (as distinguished from auction thereafter recognize the creation by marriage of a status protected and family oriented ancient as those enforcing the duties and responsibilities of children, fathers and mothers." RURAL BILLY SUNDAY WINS. Bring Them In With "Paint and Brush Methods." Greencastle, Ind.-The Rev. Julius Pfeiffer, who has charge of the Patricksville circuit in the northwest Indiana M. E. conference, is making Pfeiffer is using a brush and liberally paint. He has advertised himself all his circuits. At the crossroads he has painted his name and the time of his meetings in big red letters. eH says "halls" and "kickers" and "threats" will not go with him as long as he is on the job. One of his familiar phrases is: "I am on the job to stay; must see the thing in the egg you ever has that soft taffy kind of preaching to the man to give it to you. As long as I am going to talk about a big God, who has a broad humanitarian platform and who really makes folks do something." Mr. Pfeiffer says his business is "plucking up" since he started his advertising and he "expects to be running his show full time" by June 1. He desires to "double his output" by Sept. 15. HUNTING BURIED GOLD. Mayoralty Aspirant Has Men Digging For Indian Treasure. Pendleton, Ore.-R. F. Kirkpatrick, a claimant for the mayor's chair and prominent rancher on the Umatilla Indian reservation, is using all his farm hands in an industrial search for supposed buried treasure. The excitement was caused by Kokoyah, aged Indian woman, whose house was rented. The old woman is ill, and she is about to die, she told Mr. Kirkpatrick that about nineteen years ago she buried a large quantity of gold in a tin can near her tepee. She said she buried it about two feet deep, leaving a string attached and extending to the surface of the ground so she could find it again. The string has long since rotted off, and the woman has either forgotten the exact location of the treasure or is too ill to describe the spot. All the ground within a radius of several rods of her old tope has therefore been plowed up and scraped a way, but so far no treasure. TO FEED WORLD ON 300.000,000 ACRES TO FEED WORLD ON 300.000,000 ACRES United States to Become Cattle Raising Center. Chicago—One of the results of the European war will be great increase in American output of horses and cattle. This country will become the most productive spot of the world. The annual output of 10,704,000 head will probably be increased from 20 to 50 per cent. Reports from Europe have shown that the destruction of live stock due to the war is beyond all present realization. All the countries have been chary about emitting statistical information concerning it because they are trying to maintain an air of calm and confidence about their food supplies. The truth is getting out, and it is, in brief, the Europe will be impoverished in regard to live stock supplies sooner than in almost any other economic direction. Two chief results are already beginning to be perceived. One, and the obvious one, is that all the world will need meat from the United States as never before. The other is that the United States will change places with Europe in regard to supplying the finest breeding stock. The magnificent breeding stock of Holland, Belgium, Great Britain, being sacrificed and horses, alike—are being sacrificed and the war, it is freely predicted that after the war American breeders will be called upon to export fine animals in large numbers to countries from which in the past they have been wont to import. Europe is the greatest live stock country in the world, taken as a whole. Its supplies are vastly larger than those of the United States, of South America or any other of what are commonly thought of as the stock raising regions. But Europe, because of its immense population, still has a deficiency in manpower by the importations and so its place as a stock raising continent is not rightly understood. The greatest of the stock raising territories are involved in the war. They are killing off first their horses, destroying them in battle and the deadly transport service and also making it impossible to raise the annual crop of colts. Thus the loss is really a double one. For a long time the capacity of the western ranges for producing and maintaining stock has been growing less. As a result government statistics show a reduction of the number of cattle in seventeen western range states in a period of four years from 30,000,000 to 23,000,000 and of the number of sheep from 39,000,000 to 22,000,000. The range has been overfed in some sections until great areas of it are becoming well nigh denuded of grass and actually tending to reversion to desert conditions. Mother Has Bon Arrested. Paris—When two French soldiers returned to Paris and couldn't give a good reason for it the mother of one locked them in a room and called the police. They were arrested as deserters. THE APPEAL. SNAKE CAUSES AUTO WRECK. Runaway Follows Owner's Effort to Kill Copperhead on Seat. East Orange, N. J. - James Morrison of Orange went automobiling with his family the other afternoon and when over the Second mountain drove into a dirt road so that his wife and two children could pick wild flowers. They left the car under a large oak tree and sauntered off. Half an hour later Mrs. Morrison and her two children returned to the car for the seat. She Colled up on the front seat was a large oak head snake. The mother and children, stopping the flowers, ran away screening. Mr. Morrison returned to the car and, as the branches hung low over it, it pushed back to the macadam road of Eagle Rock avenue. Getting a stout club from the woods, he swung at the snake, missed it and accidentally gave the car a push, and down the hill it went. The grade was very steep, and the automobile ran through a wooden fence into the farm of Jacob Miller, striking a calling a couple of chickens and finally landing on the farway part of Miller's back porch. By the time there was not much left of the car, and Mr. Morrison, with his wife and two children, walked four miles home. The snake escaped. USE FOUND FOR BEAR GRASS. Fiber Obtained From It Converted Into Cordage, Matting, Etc. Tucumcar, N. M.-Gathering the spear-like leaves of the wild bear grass that grows profusely over a large area of western Texas and baling the fiber that is obtained therefrom is a new industry for this part of the country. A large plant for preparing the fiber for market has been established here. The product is shipped to Chicago, where it is manufactured into rope, matting, and other products. The valuable supply of the raw material is said to be practically inexhaustible. Up to the time it was discovered that the leaves contain a valuable fiber bear-grass was considered worthless by the ranchmen. It is now proving a source of considerable revenue for the land owners and the men who are employed in marketing it. FLOOD OF IMMIGRANTS COMING AFTER THE WAR Uncle Sam Must Be Careful to Bar the Unfit. Washington. — Eternal vigilance is needed on the part of the immigration department in restricting the number of unfit immigrants trying to enter this country. Although immigration had had a tremendous drop, paupers, insane, epileptic and feeble minded persons, professional beggars, those likely inexperienced, contract laborers, assisted aliens, those immorally and others debarred from entering this country still seem to be emigrating, though probably in smaller numbers. Last year 33,041 individuals were refused entrance to this country, a proportion to the total number of aliens (immigrant and nonimmigrant) landing of 2.3 per cent, while for the half year 19,151,1508 were debarred, being 5.1 per cent of the total immigration during that time. Of those trying to enter during the last six months 249 were idiots, imbeciles or feeble minded, 67 were insane or epileptic, 1,144 were suffering from loathsome or dangerous contagious diseases, 9,809 were likely to become a public laborer, 1,746 were contract laborers, 344 were assisted allies and 171 were coming for immoral purposes. Many people see in the fact that there is little reduction in the numbers of the mentally, physically and morally unfit who are attempting to enter this country an indication of what may be expected in the near future. At the end of the war Europe will try to keep its strong, its abledobed and its healthy individuals, while enormous financial tendency to tear emigration, actively encouraged people of those who are apt to become a burden of war. Such problems as far as possible will be shifted to other shoulders through a process of emigration. Only stringent regulations on the part of the American government and extraordinary efficiency in its immigration service will prevent such an unloading of the unfit upon the shoulders of Uncle Sam. NEW ORLEANS IS RAT PROOF. Not a Case of Plague in City Since Oct. 4—Work Continues. Washington: "More than half of the approximately 70,000 buildings in New Orleans have been made rat proof; there has not been a case of plague there since Oct. 4 last, and it will not be one of the most rat proof cities in the world," announced Dr. W. C. Rucker, assistant surgeon general of the public health service. Dr. Rucker has charge of the eradication of the plague. Reports show that 318,000 rats have been caught by the health authorities in New Orleans since the anti-plague began last autumn, and all of them have been tested for bacillus biological examination. "All the caught have been identified as to species and sex," said Dr. Rucker. "The species plays an important part." Defective Page ARGENTINE PRIDE SPURNS BIG PROFIT ARGENTINE PRIDE SPURNS BIG PROFIT Refuses Offer of $17,500,000 For New Dreadnought Moreno. Greece, Peaceful, Made Largest Bid Against Many Other Countries—Acquisition of Vessel Would Have Given Her a Big Naval Advantage Over Turkey. New York. — Argentina's patriotic pride in her new super-Dreadnought Moreno, which sailed recently from Newport News, is strong. Not even a profit of about $0,000,000 in cash could induce the South American ability to sell this warship, one of the largest in the world, was built at Camden, N. J. The offer was made by Greece through an agent in this city, acting on instructions of the Greek minister in Paris, whose government was willing to pay $3,500,000 for the American built vessel. The cost to Argentina for the construction of the Moreno was about $12,000,000. Greece, however, was not the only country that made bids for the immediate transfer of the warship for monerary capital that would net Argentina a large profit. Italy, is underly, is anxious to add the great sea fighting machine to its navy, although her offer was not as large as that made by the Athens government. The first intimation that negotiations had been in progress mentioned Russia as the bolder, but the fact of Russia's inability to use the navy she now has eliminated that country as one of the nations that coveted the Moreno. The military have been offered for the sale of the Moreno," said Maruel A. Molina, acting Argentine consul in New York. "I am not sure which countries made the bids, but I know that all of them were rejected by my government." The fact that Greece, not yet embroiled in the European conflict, was the highest bidder for the new sea fighter confirms a recent statement that the Hellenic power has been making pretentious military preparations, included the purchases of the United States naval base and Mississippi for $12,000,000 and allowed by the further offer of about $17,500,000 for the Moreno to add to her ready made navy. Greece has also bought about 100,000 tons of coal in this country and a large quantity of hospital supplies, besides ammunition. The further fact that Greece was able to pay $12,000,000 in cash for the two American vessels and was ready to pay the amount bid for the Moreno also indicates a favorable condition of the Greek exchequer the readiness of a friendly power to advance the necessary money. The New York agent to whom the Greek minister at Paris intrusted the important mission is in close social and commercial relations with Argentina, but the government at Buenos Aires refused to consider even the flattering offer that would mean a profit of 50 per cent of the battleship's cost. The prospective purchaser or purchasers were encouraged in their negotiation by the controversy that developed between the government and the New York Shipping company, which built the Moreno, over the payment for extra work which delayed the delivery. The acquisition of this vessel of 27,500 tons displacement and a speed of $22\frac{1}{2}$ knots by the Greek navy in case of a conflict with her ancient and natural enemy, Turkey, would be of great importance and would give that country a greatly superior naval strength over that possessed by Turkey. Argentina has proudly rejected the great inducement, and the Moreno will continue to fly the blue and white flag. The transport Chaco of the Argentine navy brought the crew for the Moreno and is now at Philadelphia. The Chaco will follow the super-Dreadnought south. DOG A "PANHANDLER." Bubbles Collected Pannies Enough to Pay For License. Warren, Mass.-For the license of Bubbles, a dog owned by Edward W. Burns, proprietor of the Hotel Ramsdell, 200 cents were paid to Town Clerk William F. Duncan. Bubbles collected the cents himself from traveling salesmen and other guests in the hotel. He is a Boston bull terrier, six years old and is known to every child here. Bubbles will not be satisfied unless he is given a cent. At all times he will refuse him silver. When a cent is thrown he grabs it in his teeth and runs to a corner of a room and then returns for more. At the beginning of the year Mr. Burns son began to save the cents received by Bubbles. The cents are on exhibition in the window of a Main street store. New Shoes Every Six Weeks. London. -- It is estimated that six weeks is the life of an army shoe and that for a year of the war 71,000,000 pairs will be necessary. EPITAPH ON STEPPING STONE Found on Slab Just Turned Over After Fifty Years. Columbia, Conn.—Needing a flat stone for repairs that he was making, Edward Phillips pried up one which for over fifty years had been used as a stepping stone near the farmhouse back door. To his surprise he saw on the reverse side, in fairly plain letters, the inscription: In memory of Emily, daughter of Mr. Joseph and Mrs. Eunice Smith, who died April 15, 1814, aged six months and fifteen days. Rest, thou, sweet slumberer, in the peaceful grave; Short was thy life; forgotten soon shall be. Except the few who, drowned in sorrow's with painful pleasure still remember thee. Nobody knows where the stone had been used or where it came from. Mr. Phillips' father bought the house over fifty years ago and the stone was at the back door then for a stepping stone. It is five feet long and nearly two feet wide. LAST SHOT OF CIVIL WAR Woman Asked Police to See If Old Gun Was Loaded-It Was. New York.-The "last shot of the civil war" was fired recently in a courtroom. It came from a gun which had been hanged for years on a wall in the home of the late Willard H. Hodgson. The musket had been carried in the war of the rebellion by Mr. Hodgson's father. Mr. Hodgson's sister was preparing to move to another house, but was afraid to take down the old musket. She called in Leutenant Henry Brown of the Flatbush police station and turned the gun over to him. He took it around to the station house and Attendant Patrick O'Loughlin of the Flatbush court, which is in the same building. Standing in the corridor O'Loughlin pointed the gun at the door and pulled the trigger. The old war musket was heavily loaded, and there was a report which startled the police reserves and the people in the courtroom. Washington. — Representative Helm of Kentucky has a plan to establish a national bank at Ancon, in the Panama canal zone, with branches elsewhere in that country. He would call it the Pan-American bank and give it a capital stock of $25,000,000, divided into shares of par value of $100 each. Just before congress adjourned Mr. Helm introduced a bill to incorporate the Pan-American bank, and when Sixty-fourth congress convenes he will call it for action. "The commercial deep resulting from the European war has convinced every thinking man in this country that foreign trade is a vital element in our domestic prosperity and that the continents of North and South America have greater identity of interests than was ever realized before," said Mr. Helm. "There never was a time when opportunity was knocking so loud at our doors. The commerce and business of a continent are within our grasp. The manufacturing enterprises in Central and South America are very limited, and it is to this matter that I wish the attention of the country could be directed. "Few, if any, of the republics to the south of us have the means of transport or of delivering their products to any other country under existing conditions nearly all the trade of Central and South America flows to the Atlantic. It ought to be flowing from North America to Central and South America. "About the only means of creating commercial and business relations are banking facilities, transportation, press bureau and mercantile agents. Under the federal reserve act a bank with $1,000,000 capital in the United States can establish a branch bank in any of the countries in Central or South America. This provision, in my opinion, does not meet the conditions. What we need is a bank of sufficient proportions and magnitude and importance and prestige to handle the business of the continent. "The government of the canal zone is going to be just as stable and steady as the government of the United States. If we establish a bank on the canal zone it becomes identified with the government. Our government is behind it. This guarantees confidence and makes it a sure go. The governments to the south of us would be inspired with confidence in the institution." Petrograd.—Army orders contain the promotion of a young woman, Alexandra Lagerey, to lieutenant, with sixteen other girls belonging to families of Don Cossacks. She has been fighting alongside male relatives since the beginning of the war. Eight of these have been killed, and Miss Lagerey was a prisoner, but she killed her guard and escaped and led a reconnafterling party which captured eighteen uhlans. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

Guarded Basket For Twenty-four Hours Before Yielding. St. Louis. — Ignoring all blundishments, a Skye terrier guarded an empty basket for twenty-four hours at Taylor and Adams streets. Kirkwood, until finally a boy made friends with the dog and coaxed it to his home, to which he also took the basket. Persons living in the neighborhood first observed the dog at its vigil the previous afternoon. It refused to let anybody touch the basket and could not be lured away by tempting offers of food. Mrs. J. J. Wilkins carried food and went to the dog and gave it a sack to lie upon. King Amber, fourteen-year-old son of the Amber, made overtures to the terrier for a long time before he won its confidence sufficiently for it to permit him to take the basket. Who owns the dog and the basket could not be ascertained, and young Amber said he hoped the owner would not turn up. TEACHERS ALL GET MARRIED Superintendent of Battle Creek (Mich.) Schools Is Growing Dearer **Schools are Growing Desperate.** Bowie Creek, Mich.-Wilman G. Coburn, superintendent of schools, complains the inroads that Cupid makes on his school teachers. An amazing proportion of them leave each year to marry. This year he killed teachers are wearing diamond solitaires. Professor Coburn has made many visits to normal schools to fill vacancies, and he says that next year he will have to do it all over again. Last year he warned the county clerk against issuing marriage licenses to schoolteachers under contract. He declared that "a woman who will break her contract with the school board would not hesitate very long not breaking a marriage contract." The county clerk couldn't see his way clear to turn down an applicant for a license. Mr. Coburn has been superintendent of schools here for twenty years, and recently he was re-elected for another term. Chicago—The city of Chicago is giving away officially certified babies—brown eyed, gray eyed and blue eyed little beauties, quite chubby and perfectly healthy—and they are intrusted to the care of highly recommended and thoroughly worthy foster parents only. This is a new idea, in which Chicago leads the way. Medical officials of other large cities are watching its development with close interest and with a view to its adoption. Chicago, like every other municipality, on its hands dependent little ones who need no parents to care for them, no friends to voice for their good behavior. Chicago takes all under its broad wing—Chicago learns among the baby loving cities—examines them physically and mentally and then offers officially certified infants for adoption. What home needs a baby? Many a household is ready and anxious to welcome a healthy and happy youngster, but not every one is worthy of the new arrival. At least so Chicago thinks, and thereupon proceeds to examine the would be foster parents. Dr. William J. Hickson of the psychopathic laboratory of the municipal court of Chicago is the originator of the plan. Dr. Hickson is a baby specialist, also an ardent student of problem of mental deficiency. Here are his fixed standards for a certified baby: "At birth the certified baby must weigh at least six pounds and measure twenty inches. "At one year of age he must weigh twenty-one pounds and measure twenty-seven inches, increasing three inches during the second year, and from his third to tenth year two inches annually. His fontanelle, or 'soft spot', should close at about the nineteenth month. 'Mentally he should be as follows:' "Three to four and one-half months, grasp an object that is placed before him. Hold his head erect, unsupported." "Seven months, sit alone, unsupported, and reach for toys." "Eight to ten months, start to creep. Some babies never creep, but start to walk instead." "Ten months, start to stand, holding some object. At eleven months, stand entirely alone and at from twelve to fourteen months start to walk." "One year, say 'mamma' and 'papa.' Two years, talk quite plainly, know names of animals, persons and objects and put two words together." TOWN DRUNKARD DOOMED. New York Governor Signs Bill Allow- ing Constable to Forbid Him Drink.

ZEPPELIN RAIDS TEST OF MACHINE New Dirigible Used In Recent Flights Over England. OFFICERS FEAR MORE BOMBS Motorcycle Said to Have Toured Path of Raider and Indicated Route With Brilliant Headlight — People Treat Bombs Lightly, but Officials Take Many Precautions. Lowestoft, England.—A tour by motorcycle over the path which the latest Zeppelin raider took across and around this section of England supports the notion that he had no particular military first. The big driblefirst was sighted at Southwold soon after midnight and disappeared over the sea at Lowestoft about an hour later. It made an extended tour over a considerable area, dropping a large number of incendiary bombs and a few explosive bombs, but spending nearly half its time maneuvering in the neighborhood of Henham hall, a rambling old museum. It is possible the pilot mistook the hall for some other bomb, and he supposed to be of military importance. The dropping of the numerous incendiary bombs appears to have been done in an effort to set fire to barns or hay- Photo by American Press Association. TYPE OF BOMB DROPPED ON ENGLAND BY ZEPPELINS. stacks, which would illumine the landscape and enable the pilot to locate some landmark by which he could get his bearings. Dispatches from Holland quote German naval officers as stating the Zeppelin need for this raid was a new one and the trip was in the nature of a test. Oversea navigation is an art only to be acquired after long experience, and it is possible the visit to this section had little significance except as training for pilots and men. The raider passed over Lowestow two or three times, a calm night making maneuvering easy. A fire bomb which fell into a pile of timber did damage estimated at $25,000, and the two or three explosive bombs which found targets did slight damage. Elsewhere there was nothing to tell of the passage of the invader except some holes in the ground, some broken windows, doors torn from the roof and a gossiping countryside. The broken windows and damaged doors were regarded lightly by the inhabitants, and their feelings were rather of astonishment and surprise than fear or dismay. "I've lived in this house twenty years, and nothing like this ever happened," was a characteristic comment in the farming districts. There are many stories of miraculous escapes, but most of them have little basis in actual fact. Countryside gossip is also busily engaged in rounding the mysterious plains half the people in the visited district have hacked the story of a mysterious motorcyclist who plotted the visitor by means of a headlight of peculiar brilliance. While the civilians are generally inclined to treat lightly the result of the Zeppelin activity, military men in charge of the various defense projects incline to a more serious view. They are generally of the opinion that the raids are in the nature of reconnaissance and will be followed by more terminated attempts shortly. Zeppelin ships reached the English coast several times in the summer and favorable weather they may be expected to return eventually in larger numbers and with more serious intentions.

It Is a notorious fact that in spite of Pan-American congresses, long-winded editorials in American newspapers, etcetera, the United States ts far be- hind Germany, Great Britain, France and Spain so far as trade in Latin-| ‘America 1s concerned. A book by A.

TYLER. ‘The Cleveland Gazette, speaking of the increase of race prejudice in Columbus, Ohio, tells a little story of the commendable action of Ralph W. Tyler, former auditor for the navy: “A motion picture theater in East Long street recently hung out a sign reading: ‘First five rows in the rear reserved for colored patrons,’ Learning of it, Mr, Tyler went out and saw the sign, then called up the chief of police, over the phone and demanded that he cause the algn to be removed, claiming it was an in- sult to 15,000 colored citizens, and stated, if the authorities dld not re- move the sign instanter he would tear it down if he had to go to jail for it. The sign was removed.” ‘That was an herole action. THE APPEAL also commends Mr, Tyler’s recent article in which he condemns the use of “negro” as a race name, Mr. Tyler thinks that American 1s good enough for all people born in this country and THE NEW ABOLITION.

The oft. cial statement contains among other thinks the following strong. statement and demands: “The National Assoclation For the Advancement of Colored People seeks to uplift the colored men and women of this country by securing to them the full enjoyment of thelr rights as citizens, Justice in all courts and equal- ity of opportunity everywhere, It te ors and aims to ald every kind of education among them save that which teaches special privilege or preroga. tive, class or caste, “it reeogaiscs tho national character of the race problem and no sectionalism.

It has no other desire than exact justice and no other motive than humanity.” ‘The proposed program for the ad- Yance of the colored people: has been laid down by Dr. W. E. B.

C., under the caption, “The Inalianable Rights of Man,” presents some incontrovert- able facts, viz.: “Governments were ordained to protect the natural rights of men and not to deprive any man of his rights. * * * *An upright, honest citizen should enjoy equal rights with every other citizen, irre- spective of numbers, creed, or color, before the law of the land. Equality of rights is the first of rights, and in the sight of the law there should be ho respecter of persons, whether he be king or pope, nobleman or peasant, ich or poor, Christian, Jew, or infdel, red white or black. The right of ‘choice is divine, and every man should be protected in its free exercise so long as the exercise of his choice does not interfere with the equal rights of hig neighbor.” It all the people thought as does the writer of the ar- ticle and lived up to his ideals then this might to be justly called the “Land of the Free.” A remarkable event took place in pastor of the Institutional Church, Chi- cago, was in Springfield on business on Even In the Name of Christianity—A Young Man Shows Manhood and Independence When a Y.

Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: T eannot too heartily congratu- late you on a recent editorial discour- aging the use of the word “Negro.” ‘There is no greater delight enjoyed by the white people of the United States today than the spreading use of this unfortunate term. Why? They real ize that it is the most potential fac tor at work at the present to bring about both a physical and. mental segregation of the people of color. Its use is on the increase only because our speakers and writers, especially Do Bois and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nauseam, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The term “Negro” is not only absurdly in- accurate as applied to millions of col ored people, but it is also alarminly Injurious, for the following ‘reasons: &. It has never stood historically or 4n the present, anywhere in the world, for anything noble or uplifting. "Most high-grade Africans repudiate it ». In Africa and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but to Guineas, Sudanese and Senegam- bians only. ©. Its derivatives, “Negroism,” “Ne- groty," and its compounds, Negro-head, Negro‘iy, Negro-monkey, are all clear. ly, tn their associations, desrading. 4, Its feminine torm, ““Negress,” ts justly and correctly. ‘used to define your wife and daughter and sweet- heart, if you favor the use of the mas. caline term, «.

Brackett, declared from the bench that the two persons responsible for the near-riot were the policemen in clothes, Dennis Harrington, who clutched, Trotter in the jaw, and especially the ticketseller, Mr. Sheehan, who drew the color line on tickets. Judge Brackett denounced in severe terms the color discrimination in selling to white people when they stopped selling tickets at the approach of a number of colored people in the lobby. He said this was contrary to the equal law of Massachusetts and was entirely wrong. He praised the colored people whose claims, said they were entitled to justice. He criticized Mr. Trotter for not leading the people away even though their rights were being denied. He praised the conduct of the large colored audiences present at the trials. Editor Trotter was found guilty of assault upon an officer, fined and appalled the case as he is innocent. Rev. P. Benjamin, the writer, were showered with congratulations. E. P. Benjamin and C. G.
