SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1916 "Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." —John Stuart Mill. CHRISTMAS. The observance of Christmas as the day of the birth of the Savior, though there is no evidence of its really being such, is by common consent, a pleasing and profitable custom, and it is moreover, the one thing in which Christians of all denominations, with but few exceptions, actually concur. In almost every other particular; creed, doctrine, rites and ceremonies, there is almost infinite diversity of opinion and practice; in regard to the propriety of making the alleged day of our Savior's birth, a holiday, there is substantial unity and, by some means or other, the birth of Christ has been so impressed upon the world's customs and manners, that every event in its history, social, governmental and personal, must necessarily, be connected with that important event as the orbs of the solar system are with the great luminary. Thus Christ is the light of the world, and all our affairs are connected with Him as the planets are bound to the sun by the law of gravitation. In every letter we write, every deed we execute, every item of business we transact, custom has made it necessary and unavoidable that we should connect the transaction with the truth of Christ. And it is a significant fact that the nations that thus recognize the Savior, in even an incidental manner, are, those most advanced in intelligence and civilization—those that are most powerful and prosperous, those that really govern the world. The nations that celebrate the 25th of December and that designate the present year as 1915, are the favored ones of the world. That such is the case can be attributed to no other cause than Christianity, of which Christmas is the emblem. So we send our readers the usual greeting a Merry Christmas.

Last week the Associated Press dispatches told a sad case of suicide of a Chicago mother who determined that it was cheaper to die than to live. Her husband was earning $12 per week, but it was not enough. She wrote a note before turning on the gas that sent her soul to the great beyond in which she said: "This is what it takes a week—$4 rent, $2 lunch and car fare; that leaves $6 a week for light, fuel, food, clothing, medicine and incidentals for husband, children and myself. God help the poor." This case seemed to be peculiarly pathetic and according to our observations indicated a wide spread feeling among the poorer class of people. The same trend of thought seems to have been indulged in by the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the result of which was the appearance under the above caption of the following: "Responsibility for the increasing number of suicides in New York City is placed upon the high cost of living by Israel Feinberg, president of Gotham's board of coroners. The coroner also says he traced many deaths from lack of proper nourishment to the mounting prices of food-stuffs and contends the suicides are alarming in their increased frequency. "There is no reason to doubt the statement of Coroner Feinberg, for statistics from every civilized country in the world show that periods of financial depression are almost invariably accompanied by increased crime, suicide and divorce and followed by fewer marriages and a declining birth rate. "In 1893 there were only 803 more marriages in the United States than there were the preceding year, although the five years preceding 1893 showed a yearly increase in the number of marriages running from 11,080 to 26,027; and in 1894, the year after the panic, the marriages actually decreased to the extent of 12,512; while the suicide rate in 1908, the year after the financial panic of 1907, was 21.6 per 100,000 persons, the highest average ever recorded in this country. "That this is popularly known as a period of prosperity rather than depression does not invalidate the conclusions of Coroner Feinberg, for in most cases the cost of living has so far outstriped any advances in wages that hundreds of thousands of persons relatively are much poorer than they were under normal conditions before the war." LET THE CONSTITUTION ALONE Wind Jammer Bryan, elated with the undeserved success of the Democrats in the recent national election, is asking a little too much of his party. In a speech at a dinner recently given in his honor at Washington he urged the adoption of nation-wide prohibition and woman suffrage which is a little more than the average Democrat can stand for. He also advocated the passage of an amendment for the election of the President by direct popular vote and to amend the constitution so as to make that instrument more easily amendable. This latter suggestion would undoubtedly meet their hearty approval as the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution have been wormwood and gall that they would like very much to get rid of and in their place put something that would further outrage and crush the colored people. We have got to stand the Democratic administration for the next four years THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgme the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than th world, the counten 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 Sumner. once when we should awards out of men. has climbed on pro- been raised against me and lust, the in- d serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of her Wilcox. but we most sincerely hope that after that this beautiful land of ours will not be cursed by their domination any longer. AS OTHERS SEE US. "O, wad some power the gittle g're us, To se ourSEL as thiers see us." Bobby Bums was, what we would call now-a-days, a "wise guy." We Americans think we are the "whole show," but are we? Sir Rabindranath Tagore, the famous East Indian poet, winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, doesn't think we are, and recently criticized us most unmercifully. He said we are building ugly cities, are too self-assured, are nationally conceived and are forgetting the fine simplicity of life in our mad rush for money, and we must admit that he is about right. He says, there is more to life than just making money. Life calls for leisure not machine-made days of money-mad activities. "You hurry so you forget that life at its best is just simplicity, taking time to get the things that money can never buy. "Like a popcorn wagon are your modern ideas of life. Everything is popping and bursting in different directions no peace, no noise anywhere." PENROSE FORCE BILL Senator Boles Penrose of Pennsylvania has announced his intention to introduce and press for passage, a bill that provides for Federal supervision of national elections. The object sought is to put a stop to the unfair methods that have for many years been practiced in the south which deprives a majority of the colored men from voting, although they were counted to maintain the congressional representation. Speaking of the bill editorially, the Pioneer Press states that it would have no chance of passing, while admitting the justice of the measure. The Pioneer Press states facts, but, is it not a sad commentary upon the white people of this country, that they will deliberately act with such unfair and inhuman a spirit, knowing all the while that they are absolutely wrong. Might does not make right, and if it is a fact that right must prevail, the day of retribution must come sometime. The Jim-crow commission, composed of four-fifths Jim-crow white men and one-fifth Jim-crow colored men, will soon sit and formally declare that the Christian religion is a lie. Not in so many words, but that will be the effect, when the Methodist church commission, to reunite the northern and southern branches, convene. Such colored men are a disgrace to their people. Have Learned to "Love, Honor and Obey." (From the Afro-American Ledger.) "If I can live happily among the colored people, if I can love them as I love the people of my own race, then our dream of brotherhood for all mankind says Miss Florence MacFarlane, delegate from London, England, to the New Thought Congress, which met in San Francisco recently. Miss MacFarlane announces her intention of going to live among colored people. The experience of the Englishmen may prove interesting but it offers lik- Needed by Colored Leaders.

Where Did Santa Claus ComeFrom? THESE post-Christmas days shine with a light softer but perhaps more comfortable than that of the great feast itself. Particularly is this true of the first day after Christmas, especially when that day is Sunday. In England, of course, in the time of the late Samuel Pickwick, Esq., who brought about the renascence of Christmas, this is called boxing day, not because it is the occasion of nastic encounters, but because it is the time appointed for the distribution of those more or less spontaneous excerpts of good will which are called Christmas Day. The title is St Stephen's day. It is, you know, the day on which the illustrious King Wenceslaus, with the assistance of his page, did his noble almooning. We are not old English kings, so instead of having our page bring flesh and wine to the poor man on St. Stephen's day we give a dollar to the youth from the still vexed Bermutes who chaperons the elevator in our apartment house, and for weeks before Christmas we aixt to the flaps of the envelopes containing our letters little stamps bearing so called porpoise, and we are met with a meticulously this last process provides a modicum of Christmas cheer for certain carefully selected and organized poor people. However this may be, the fact remains that the day after Christmas is a very good day indeed. The excitement of giving and receiving has passed away; there remains the quieter joy of sober contemplation. And when the day after Christmas is Sunday this contemplation will not be disturbed by the postman, who, a relentless bill bribber, will be feared even when, bearing offers And, in spite of the remarks of every humorist who ever borrowed from his mother-in-law 2 cents to put on an envelope which should carry a joke about her to an editor, this post Christmas meditation nearly always is pleasant as it is assisted by the consumption of witty words, and again despite the humorists) are better a man buys for himself. It is a pleasant meditation, for its subjects are things given and things received, good deeds done and good things experienced. It also contains this day after Christmas feeling, a quality of reconciliation not of reconciliation with ancient enemies—this was all orthodoxy attended to on Christmas eve—but of reconciliation with affairs, of readjustment. Where Bayberry Candles Come From. It was the women of Hingham, that quantit old Massachusetts town, that first brought down from their attics their grandmothers' old candle molds and began making the sweet smelling green bayberry candies for a few apples and then to burn in homes furnished in antiques. The women of charming Old Deerfield, in the same state, shortly followed suit, and then the housewives of Cape Cod saw their opportunity, all of them using the molds that had been in the towns for generations.

On the Day After Christmas OUR word Santa Claus is a corruption of the Dutch San Nicolas, and the story of the original saint from whom the name and the custom come is told in the Encyclopedia Britannica as follows: "St. Nicholas, bishop of Myra, in Lyca, a saint honored by the Greeks and the Romans. Day of the "Hilcult is as celebrated as his history is obscure. All the accounts that have come down to us are of a purely legendary character, and it is impossible to find any single incident confirmed historically. "The main facts of his life are usually given as follows: He was bishop of Myra at the time of the Emperor Diocletius, persecuted, tortured for the faith, and killed. He will more tolerant reign of Constantine and was present at the council of Nicea. "It should be observed that this last circumstance is ignored by all historians; and that St. Athanasius, who knew all the notable bishops of the period, never mentions Nicholas, bishop of the city, the oldest known monument of the city, and he is to be the church of St. Priscus and Nicholas built at Constantinople by the Emperor Justinian. In the west the name of St. Nicholas appears in the ninth century records of the martyrs, and churches dedicated to him are to be found at the beginning of the church, and churches is more especially, however, from the removal of his body to Bart, in the apula, that his cult became popular. "The inhabitants of Bari organized an expedition, seized his remains by means of a ruse and transported them to Bari, where they were received in triumph on the 9th of May, 1087, and where the foundations were laid for a new basilica in his honor. This was the origin of a famous and still popular church, which are nearly 400 churches in England dotted with St. Nicholas. He is the patron saint of Russia, the special protector of children, scholars, merchants and sailors. "In art St. Nicholas is represented with various attributes, being most commonly depicted with three children standing in a tub by his side. Of the various interpretations of this none is absolutely certain. "One explanation has been sought in the legend of St. Nicholas miraculously with three rich youths who had been murdered. They were sealed in a saluting tub by a thief inkleeper or butcher in whose house they had taken lodging. "A legend of his surreptitious bestowal of dowries upon the three daughters of an impoverished citizen who, unable to procure fit marriages for them, was about to sell them is said to have originated the old custom of giving presents in secret on the eve of St. Nicholas, frequently transferred to Christmas day. "Hence the association of Christmas with 'Santa Claus,' an American corruption of the Dutch form 'San Nicolas,' the custom being brought to America by the early Dutch colonists."

Who Was Brutally Lynched at Abbeville, S. C., for Obeying the First Law The Abbeville lynching was personally investigated, on the ground, by Roy Nash, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the following is his report: New York, Nov. 22—Governor Rich-editional, pointed out that in view of Ar I. Manning, of South Carolina, as the exodus of Negro labor from result of the recent lynching at An-South to northern industrial fields thony Crawford, at Abbeville, hasand the approach of the boll weevil, taken a stand which promises to clearSouth Carolina's problem was to keep the name of his State of the stigma her colored men instead of serving them to it during the admin- notice on them that no matter how institution had been, the boll weevil, a cousin of Cole Blease, Governor Manning, be, their case was absolutely hopeless in a statement given out to the press on the day before election, says: "I was out of the State when the Abbeville lynching occurred. As soon the Abbeville lynching occurred, six other meeting was held in the courthouse in which the A. Cooper and Sheriff R. M. Burts of Abbeville to the office and called on Coroner F. W. R. Nance of Abbeville County to comply with the law and furnish me with a copy of the testimony of the coroner in request. I found that the coroner held an inquest, but took no testimony. "We, the citizens of the city of Abbeville, in mass meeting assembled, inquired in an unqualified terms our disapproval of violent acts of certain persons committed in our community, and the "Solicitor Cooper and Sheriff Burts came to my office and I requested them to secure the names of all parties connected with this affair, those who were ing of the Negro from the jail, in the lynching, and all those who were at the meeting reported to have been held on the following Monday. I have requested Solicitor Cooper and Sheriff Burts to make a complete investigation of the Negro and to name the names of all parties concerned and to swear out warrants and arrest them. "I intend to do everything in my power to uphold the law and let the offenders know that such acts will not be tolerated, and that those guilty of the crime should be prosecuted. I have requested Solicitor Cooper as the State's representative and Sheriff Burts as the highest peace officer in the county, to leave no stone unturned in order to vindicate the law and all those at their disposal in bringing the guilty ones to justice." The lynching referred to occurred on October 21 in one of South Carolina's most beautiful and progressive cities. Anthons Crawford, the victim, was shot by a man over $20,000. He got into a row with a white storekeeper named Barksdale over the price of cottonseed. It is reported that Mr. Barksdale called him a liar and Crawford cursed him by saying he was a thief. He ran out to give Crawford a beating with an ax handle. He was saved from this by a policeman who arrested Crawford and took him to the municipal building, but when they let him go, he was shot and after him again intent on punishing him for daring to curse a white man. "The day a white man hits me is the day I die," Anthony Crawford once said to a friend. When he saw the crowd coming after him, he went in a helpless bellows, gin picked up a four-pound hammer, waited. The first man who came at him, McKinney Cann, received a blow in the head which fractured his skull, but someone hurled a stone which knocked out Crawford before he reached anyone else. While he was down, he kicked him until they thought they had finished him, when they permitted the sheriff to arrest the unconscious Crawford on condition that he would not take his prisoner out of town until they knew whether Cann would live or die. Cann wasn't hurt as badly as they thought, but nevertheless a mob went back to the jail at four o'clock that afternoon, took their keys and guns away from the sheriff and jailor, dragged Crawford through the streets of the Negro group with a rope to a plank hung in mutilated body to a plank hung in the fair grounds, and expended a couple of hundred rounds of ammunition at it. On Monday a meeting was called in the Abbeville courthouse at which it was decided to order the sixteen sons and daughters of Crawford and their families to abandon their $20.00 home and get out of the State by November 15. After the meeting this mob proceeded to close up all the Negro shops in Abbeville. The Columbia State, in a powerful GOD GIVE US MEN God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor—men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. editorial, pointed out that in view of the exodus of Negro labor from the South to northern industrial fields, the county of the boll fields, South Carolina's problem was to keep her colored men instead of serving notice on them that no matter how industrious or successful they might be, their case was absolutely hopeless. It so convinced the business man that he lynched their own pocket-books, that on November 6 another meeting was held in the court-house at which the following resolutions were unanimously passed: The officers of the city of Abbeville, in mass meeting assembled, do hereby express in unqualified terms our disapproval of the recent violent acts of certain persons committed in our community, and the spirit of lawlessness that seems rife in the county in which the acting of lawlessness it is. "RESOLEVED: That the Sheriff of Abbeville County, the Mayor of Abbeville, the Police Force, and every officer of the county and city, be urged to use every effort to enforce the law to correct the citizens of the town and county regardless of condition or color. "RESOVED FURTHER: That we do hereby pledge ourselves as individuals to give to the officers of the law our physical support in maintenance. "RESOVED FURTHER: That if it be necessary to carry out this determination that the aid of the State and Federal Government be called in order that every citizen may enjoy his rights under the constitution. "RESOVED FURTHER: That a commissioner, Pernin as Chairman, be appointed for the purpose of ascertaining what can be done towards the organization of a local military company for the protection of the citizens of this county and for the protection of our in our midst. That this committee be empowered to act in the premises. "RESOVED FURTHER: That EVERY CITIZEN OF THE TOWN OF ABBEVILLE BE ASSURED the protection of the men of this meeting as officers the laws of the state, and pursues only his own legitimate business. "RESOVED FURTHER: That a meeting of the law-abiding citizens of Abbeville County be called to meet in this Court House on next Monday to perfect an organization for enforcing the law in Abbeville county, and that every community in the county be represented at this meeting, and that steps be taken to show to the people of the state and the men of Abbeville County will be required to protect the citizens of the commonwealth in the enjoyment of all rights guaranteed by the law." At the meeting on November 13 the above resolutions were endorsed by prominent citizens from all parts of the county, and a committee of twelve have for their duties the furtherance of the ends sought by the meeting, by taking up with the citizens of the county the matters discussed and endeavoring to bring about a proper unification between the people of the county, and a due observance of the laws of the land." As a further guarantee that the Crawford family is to be defended in their right to live in South Carolina and enjoy the property accumulated by three generations, Governor Mitchell M. Garrison, Governor Villard, vice-president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People as follows: "I realize the gravity of this offense and am determined to do everything in my power to bring the offenders to justice. I have called on the Sheriff of Abbeville County to take the steps to prevent any unlawful action by the family in my expulsion of the family of Crawford. I am giving serious consideration to this matter with a view to making reconciliation possible and legislature, so as to be able to deal with such conditions when they arise."
