A DEFENsE:-Editor Star: Under the head
in - n n
observe an absolute miscOnception Of the purport
OF my address on the evening Of the Dist inst. at
the Smithsonian. Did not fear that my position
In all political matters would be misunderstood
lshould not now depart from nv rule and intrude
myself upon your columns. 1 am glad, however
tnat your local reporter has given me this oppor-
.unlty OF oehnlng my position as physician In
this community. belong to no political organi-
zatlon. escheU all politics; have never voted
but once In the years that have lived here and
never intend to again excert in a case Of serious
emergency. j desire no office, have never sough bit
any, and never will seek any in the gift Of any
political patronage.
In showing the hieroglyph of an Ethiopian face
from the tomb Of Ramses I, my sole object was to
race through Zoo years In showing a bieropIyph
from Theban tomb of an Egyptian Scribe regis
tering his black slaves, my object was not to JUS
tyy sla.sry, with that had nothing to do, but
simply to point out the fact that through 300
years the docile submissive inferiority of the race
had not changed In proving the natural law
that dominant races destroy weaker, my object
was not to bolster up any political creed, but
simply to point out the all powerful allpervading
Interchangeable cbara Of this law through
many ages and over MANY races. In saying "We
doctors are apt to think, do not say are right
In thinking SO, that the religious tendencies of
race are under the control of a natural law-that
the Celtic Gaul and the Celtic Irishman preferred
the forms of Catholic faith, whilst the Anglo
saxon preferred the forms Of Protestant,-it was
not my object nor my desire to condemn or praise
either the Protestant or Catholic forms Of faith
but merely to prove that race characteristics
might lead people to prefer one form Of faith to
another In saying that if all Africa were chris
TANNED tomorrow, a stern natural law would
make Christian Africa bdrbaric my object was
not to ridiculs the mission work, with that had
nothing to do, but simply to point out and prove
an unchanging, all pervading, all powerful natu-
raj law OF race. In proving that our disposition
TO do good or evil is somewhat modified by the
physical condition Of the body, whether of health
or disease, my object was not to deny the great
religious doctrine Of free agency, but simply to
point out that there were natural laws inf uencng
US even In religious matters.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor let me say that in
my rounds to the sick attend both the rich and
the poor, the bond and the Free the Catholic and
the Protestant the democrat and the republican.
With all these ! have warm and attac he'd friends
In justice to them will you permit me to insert
the above correction OF mistake into which your
local reporter unwittingly fell on the evening of
the 2lst inst With great respect,
