All over this country, before tomorrow's sun, eulogies will be pronounced upon this great man. He will be lauded for his many great deeds and virtues by scores of Caucasian speakers, chosen mainly, because of their ability to sound the praises of the illustrious dead. Every speaker, without exception, will allude to the generally conceded crowning act of the "great emancipator," the emancipation of 4,000,000 slaves in this boasted "land of the free and the home of the brave," in the most glowing words at their command. This is all right; great men and their great deeds should be remembered and be spoken of on appropriate occasions. But what we could never understand is, that if the acts of Lincoln and the spirit that prompted them were so commendable, why is it that his example has not been more generally emulated by the people in power in this country so far as their brothers in black are concerned. It is incorporated in the Declaration of Independence, that, "all men are born free and equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain --- THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silent protest makes co The human race h test.

The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. inianable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," but this seems not to apply to the colored citizens of this country, for they are systematically deprived of all these rights simply on account of their color. If Lincoln is entitled to the annual praise that is showered upon him on this day why do not the people who so praise him act toward their "brothers in black" that they may be justly entitled to the same mead of praise? WHO WILL BE FOUND WORTHY There is considerable speculation in the minds of the people all over the country, as to who will be found worthy to receive the "Spingarn Medal" to be awarded in this month. The "Spingarn Medal" is a gold medal of the value of $100, and is awarded annually to the colored person in the United States who is deemed to have rendered the most distinguished service during the year in any field of honorable or elevated endeavor. The medal is given by Dr. J. E. Spingarn of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and its award may well be considered the most distinguished recognition one can receive in this prejudice cursed country. It will be remembered that the first medal was awarded last year to Dr. Edward E. Just a professor in Harvard University Medical School, for distinguished results in biological research. The committee of award consists of ex-president William H. Taft, Oswald Garrison Villard, Dr. James H. Dillard, Bishop John Hurst and Pres. John Hope, of Morehouse College, Atlanta; the latter two being colored. The presentation will be made by Governor McCall at a mass meeting held under the auspices of the N. A. A. C. P. at Tremont Temple, Boston, Mass., on Washington's birthday, February 2nd, the name of the fortunate individual will not be known until the presentation is made by Governor McCall, hence we say, we wonder who will be found worthy? No people on earth know better than the colored people of this country do, what prejudice is; but Nathan Straus in the New York Times has some idea of it. He says: "It is easy to create, it is hard to destroy. Sinister of wit, it is weak of wisdom. Its perceptions are false. It sees in darkness; it is blind in the light. It natures lies and rejects truth. Breeding hatred, it blasts sympathy. It rules those who give it life. It is a conjured Frankenstein, dominating millions of men. It sits beside the gates of life and takes toll of all that pass. "It is the conservator of all that reason would destroy, the destroyer of the works of justice. It is the hand-malden of error, the nemesis of knowledge. It feeds fear and polsons hope. It lives by the law of the dead. It thrives upon the meat of yesterday. It sickens on the sustenance of today. "It is the anarchist of the heart. It smothers faith. It gives love to the torch. It bemeans benevolence and shuns communion. It stills the sound of music and palsies the hand of art. It betrays belief and sets suspicion on a throne. It rejoices in tears. Its mirth is in misery. "It is the monster of the mind. It pollutes thought, serves despair, and ravishes right. It offends against fact and is a stranger to logic. Its soothing THE MAN I honor the ma scientious dischar to stand alone; th ant, intolerant ju demn, the counter may be averted, 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.

It divines the unreal and walks in the way of phantoms. It drains the potions brewed by witches of the brain. It is a thing of charms and amulets. "It is prejudice!" One of the most pleasing things we have heard of lately is contained in the will of the late Andrew Freedman of New York, the bachelor who left an estate valued at $7,000,000, the bulk of which is to be used eventually for the establishment of a home for the aged on original lines which the founder himself had formulated. It will be known as the Andrew Freedman Home. It will receive aged persons in indigent circumstances without regard to race, sex or creed, and especially will it care for old couples who, in the evening of life might otherwise be forced to live apart. Mr. Freedman selected twenty-four persons, who will be requested to act as trustees of the home. They represent various races and religions and their selection shows that the testator intended that the institution should have a representative board. Mr. Freedman, evidently, belongs in Ben Adhems's class. "LAW" IN LOUISIANA. Early in the month martial law was declared throughout Jefferson parish, adjoining New Orleans, Louisiana. Governor Hall said in his proclamation that "a reign of lawlessness exists in Jefferson parish, and it appears that authorities of the parish, charged with enforcement of the law, are in sympathy with the lawless element." The state troops confiscated and burned various gambling paraphernails. The dispatch announcing martial law contained this statement: "Saloons serving both white persons and Negroes will be closed immediately, but other saloons will be allowed to operate as long as there is no disorder." And that is the gist of the whole affair—colored and white people are not allowed to drink together in Louisiana. DANIELS DOUBTED. Said Secretary of the Navy Daniels at Washington recently, at fraternal night ceremonies: "I pray to God that the day will come in Methodism when there will not have to be any fraternal night." The Secretary added that he hoped that the day would come when there would be no Northern or Southern Methodist churches, but there will be but one church. Of course he did not exactly mean that. What he meant to say was that he hoped the time would come when there will be but one WHITE church and that the yellow, black, red and brown Christians be forbidden to enter. The bulk of the estate of Mrs. Frank Leslie, the New York publisher, amounting to $2,000,000, will go to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt for the cause of woman suffrage. It was decided that the relatives of Frank Leslie can not hold up the distribution of the estate by the executor. Certain relatives claimed that Mrs. Leslie was of Negro descent, so the race ought to get credit for doing a great deal to aid the enfranchisement of woman. George M. Jones, secretary of Oberlin college, has announced that word had been received from Mrs. Eliza- n who in the con- ge of his duty dares the world, with ignor- agment, may con-ances of relatives and the hearts of Lincoln's Birthday February Twelfth LIFE may be given in many ways And loyalty to truth be sealed As bravely in the closet as the field, So bountiful is Fate. But then to stand beside her When craven churls deride her, To front a lie in arms and not to yield— This shows, methinks, God's plan And measure of a stalwart man, Limbed like the old heroic breeds Who stand self poised on manhood's solid earth, Not forced to frame excuses for his birth, Fed from within with all the strength he needs. Weep with the passion of an angry grief. Ease with the passion of an angry grief. Forgive me if from present things I turn To speak what in my heart will beat and burn And hang my wreath on his world honored urn. Nature they say, doth dote And cannot make a man Save on some wormout plan, Repeating us by rote. For him her old world molds aside she threw, And, choosing sweet clay from the breast Of the unexhausted west. With stuff untainted shaped a hero new, Wise, steadfast in the strength of God and true. How beautiful to see Once more a shepherd of mankind, indeed, Who loved his charge, but never loved to lead; One whose meek flock the people joyed to be, Not lured by any cheat of birth, But by his clear grained human worth And brave old wisdom of sincerity! Lincoln Birth February LINCOLN THE LEARNER. THE hesitation which marked Lincoln's policy in the first year of his administration and which caused him to lag very often so far behind the more ardent of his supporters has been acknowledged even by those whom it most irritated to have been simply the hesitation of a man unused to his position, but who was conscious of his deficiencies and determined to commit no error throughexperience, wrote Edwin L. Godkin. And all admit the profound wisdom, the intimate knowledge of the people with whom he had to deal, displayed in his determination from first to last to be behind rather than in advance of the popular sentiment. And he grew up to the level of his responsibilities with a rapidity perhaps never equated. He knew how defective his training and education were, how little his previous course of life had done to fit him for his position, and to what a storm of hate and malignity he exposed himself, and yet he never finched. He was never guilty of the smallest pretense of affection. He never attempted to conceal the fact that he was a learner, but he learned with a rapidity and retained with a tenacity which astounded those who thought both Severance Allen of New York that her late husband, Dr. Dudley P. Allen, formerly of Cleveland, had left a bequest of $100,000 for hospital purposes in Oberlin.

In four years he had struck out, though surrounded with difficulties such as no other statesman, except perhaps William the Silent or Cavour, has ever had to contend with, a policy of which the whole country has acknowledged the wisdom. His measures for the destruction of the confederation had been crowned with success, and his plan of pacification had received the emphatic approval of both parties at the north, and he had secured a hold on the respect and affection of the great body of the people which no president before him, except Washington, had ever possessed, and it is even doubtful whether Washington occupied as high a position among his contemporaries. Lincoln's Life a Sermon Lincoln's whole career is a doctrine itself, the doctrine of American democracy. His life is a sermon which is to preach to us that wherein human success truly consists, and his hallowed memory is to be a perennial inspiration to develop our possibilities and especially to revere the function of the man of politics of whom we have recently been inoculated with so much contempt—the man of politics in American life. His name is a synonym of American democracy. He himself was the best truth on which the nation rests—upon the confidence in the masses of the people.—Rev. Dr. Samuel Schulman. United States officials has been laid before the United States Senate, but opposition will be offered by persons who declare it simply makes the United States the "catspaw" for pulling foreign interests out of the fire. Its ratification by the United States Senate is considered doubtful. (From the Reformer, Richmond, Va.)

Defective Page St. Valentine's Day February Fourteenth BY LANNIE HAYNES MARTIN [Copyright, 1916, by American Press Association.] MISS BETTY had been the very same Miss Betty, with the little bird cooling voice, the faded eyes and skimming, drab hair, when Dora Powell and Jack Rogan were babies. Now that they were twenty-two and engaged, they began to wonder if she had ever been young. "Just to think." Dora purred into Jack's ear, "never to have had a sweetheart or an engagement ring or"— "Or," echoed Jack as his lips touched hers, dramatizing the thought before it could be uttered. So, in sheer sympathy for Miss Betty, Dora sent her a big box of crystallized fruits, and Jack's Valentine day gift was a wonderful valentine—all lovers' knots and wreathes and roses and lace paper. The boxes were addressed in Jack's bold, masculine handwriting, but no name was included. On the morning of the 14th of February Miss Betty woke late. The snow was driving against her windows, and the first thing she thought of was that the groceryman had promised to send out a bag of bonemeal for her chickens, and she wondered if there was any mail. The groceryman always brought Miss Betty's mall up snowy mornings. Then she remembered the talk of the night before, how "he" had told about California, the wonderful country where roses bloomed in January. Through the kitchen window she saw on the back porch the bonemeal and on it a big square package. Breakfast over, she dressed and went outside, taking her potato knife to cut the string on the bonemeal sack. As she lifted the package off the sack she saw her name, "Miss Betty Gammon, Kingsport, O." She dropped the chicken pan with a clatter and ran back to the kitchen fire, cutting the string on the box as she ran. The two boxes fell apart, the wooden lid slipped off of the candy box, and the crystallized fruits dropped in amber and ruby showers to the kitchen floor. "California Fruits," the label read. Could this have come from —? Could "he" have remembered? She gave a little birdlike, rapturous, quivering cry when she opened the other package. Beneath the beribboned and flower bedecked page there was another with a gilt edged scroll, and on the scroll a verse: My heart for you is longing all the day. Oh, come with me, my love, away, away Somehow it gave her a sudden feeling of haste, of desire for action, for motion. She slipped on a soft gray alpaca, put on her best gray coat and wrapped a brilliant fuchsia colored scarf that had been given to her at Tel.

It was just the hour when all Kingsport went for the mail. True, hers had been brought to her, but going to the office was a time honored custom, and, besides, this was a holiday. The cold flushed her cheeks, and joy put a sparkle in her eyes. Some one in a long overcoat was coming toward her. Now, a strange, wild impulse made her want to turn, to run, to escape, from what she did not know. But it was too late. Before her was the young farm hand, now the successful California orange grower, whom her father had spurned. "Why, it's Betty!" an old, familiar voice was saying. Nobody had called her just plain Betty in twenty-five years. "I heard your talk last night," she said as she extended her hand, "and enjoyed it very much." "And you didn't come up to speak to me?" he chided in reproachful tones. "I did not think you would remember me," she said as her face flushed. "Why, Betty, you had a red shawl just like that the night we went on the hay ride," he said. "It's immensely becoming, and your cheeks are just as"—But she interrupted him. "I want to thank you for all that"—"Now, never mind about my speech," he self consciously broke in. "You just ought to come to California yourself and see what kind of a country we've got out there." In Miss Betty's heart was echoling that ardent "Oh, come with me away, away," and, having not a doubt as to the sender of the valentine, she said, "Do you really want me to go with you, Amos?" Now it suddenly struck Amos that he did, and he wondered why he had not thought of it before. So the vehement affirmative of the reply was in proportion to the suddenness of the impulse. And to this day the little lady, still prim, shy and diffident, but smiling as the roses in her California garden, does not know that it was she who proposed, for Amos Bailey is too gallant a gentleman to tell her that he did not send that precious Cupid compound. An Old Valentine. When slumber first unclouds my brain And thoughthe is free And sense, refreshed, renews her reign, I think of thee. When next in prayer to God above I bende my knee, Then, when I pray for those I love, I pray for thee. And when the duties of the day Demand of me To rise and journey on life's way I work for thee. Or if, perchance, I sing some lay, What'er it be, All that the idle verses say They say of thee. For if an eye whose liquid light Gleams like the sea They sing, or tresses brown and bright, They sing of thee. And if a wearie mood, or sad, Possesse me One thought can all times make me glad, The thought of thee. And when once more upon my bed, Full wearily, In sweet verses I lay my head, I dream of thee. In short, one only wish I have— I love of thee, Or gladly, if I sang 'twould save, I'd die for thee. WEEK'S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITOL.
