THE NEGRO IN IT.

ton in Toronto Canada:
During the International Ep-
worth League Conference in
Toronto the negro was very much
in evidence. This was great
pleasure to our Northern Metho-
dist friends. They pulled him to
the fullest possible extent. They
congratulated all concerned that
his presence was not challenged
and that he enjoyed all the
spiritual and social equality de-
sirable.
His appearance upon the plat
form was the occasion for en-
thusiastc applause. He came in
and went out welcome guest,
as free as the freest. The ques-
ton of social equality was not
raised. The negro came, saw and
conquered. The racial problem
was settled; Southern prejudice
was disarmed; caste was dead.
What are our Southern Leag-
uers going to do about it? If our
young people mingle freely with
the negro in Epworth Conference,
why should not the older sort
associate with him on terms of
in society and the
church? If a little of the thing
is good, why more is better. If
social equality is good for the
League, it is good for the whole
county. In this conference the
of white superiority was
entirely ignored. Nothing re-
mains but to carry out the equal
.ty of the negro to its logical re-
suits.
Can not our Southern Leaguers
see that the International Confer
snce is being exploited by shrewd
Northerners in the interest of So
,ial equality? The great confer
.nce proposes to teach this level
ng doctrine both by precept and
'bjeet lesson. The prejudiced
Southerner must take his medi-
inc. The negro shall come to
he front.
Perhaps our Southern Leaguers
q the past may have been justi-
able in keeping silent, not
moving whereunto the things
7hould grow. But now Ghst the
bject of the Northern element is
erfectly clear; now that it has
oasted of past social triumphs
or the negro; that it is becoming
older and more aggressive, our
outhern Leaguers must speak
ut. Let it be distinctly under
God that the negro shall go, or
rat the Southern wing will go.
ct initial action be taken, Can
Ia and the North must be given
} understand that if the negro
placed upon the program
nd accorded the full freedom OF
lie conference, that we will have
othing more to do with it. We
ould infinitely prefer to see the
lteanational League wiped out
rever than to have the social
quality proceedings of Toronto
lplicated. Things have come
pretty pass when a congre-
atom of young Christian people
N not meet without having the
9gro obtruded upon it. Both
anada and the North know their
'sition upon this subject-a
'sition absolutely unalterable-
Id they should have respected
Instead of conciliatory and
Iaritable treatment, we have
zen forced temporarily at least
succumb. Were our Epworth v
aders asleep or Indifferent when L

Our Leaguers know that in 4

Ter, who made such an excellent showing
last year on account of death in his
family Mac dropped out of training, and
declined to enter any competitions this
season.
Cody is one Of the most promising new
10o-yards Tnen of the season. Under
Trainer Foley he will do the distance in
flat time next year without any trouble.
McGirr is distance man, three or five
or ten miles being his preferences, and one
mile isa new thing forhim, and by nomeans
his forte, as he himself has said As holder
OF the ten-mile American record, he is
willing at all times to defend it, He trained
for the rniie for yesterday because there
were no longer distances in which he could
represent Georgetown at Mott Haven.
Tomorrow the mighty Wefers Will be the
attraction, and undoubtedly the winner
at the eannaal open games ofthe New Jersey
Athletic Club at Bergen Point, where he
will meet all the flyers of the East in the
sprints. He will also make an effort to
make new record for the 800 yards event,
which he had the club include in its list,
so that he might make an effort in compe-
tition for the new time. The world record
for the distance was made by him.
His next and last appearance in compe-
tition this season Will be in the big annual
games of the New York Athletic Club, at
Traver' 5 Island, to be held on June D.
1t is often wondered why local and other
papers, referring TO Wefers in his work in
amateur events nearly always speak him
as a professional runner, when he is SO
well-knowu, and his status as an amateur
so we'll established He is a simon-pure
amateur and a sprinter, not a runner, and
the fastest in the world.
A. J. Devereux, '9S, was promising

to bold his own with maV of the middle
distance runners in college races.

was sure OF going to Mott Haven until he

The wheels here are all much heavier
than ours, and much stronger They can
be sent uphill by the tougher thews that
grow IN this land, and for safety in ecinc

The best brake has two pieces of rubber
about two and a half inches long and
three-quartels of an inch square, which
are held fiat against the two quarters
of the tire. It holds very firmly, and its
friction does not come on the part that is

with the hand on the saddle The direction
is changed by lifting the hind wheel to right
or left. The clip is set or released in a mo-

As we left our Iunching place we found
the young towheads OF the farm standing
in mute and respectful wonderment about
our wheels. We gave them bit OF a ride,
two alta time, and left them enriched with
the memory of a sensation they had never
before known and will never repeat-and
will never forget.
