WAS ADAM A NEGRO (?

In the first of a series Of articles
upon anthropological data which Prof.
Arthur Thompson is writing for
knowledge" he discusses the origi-
nal color af mankind and weighs some
evidence bearing upon the question
whether the earliest races were black
or white.
AT the same time he mentions Alfred
Russell Wallace's idea of primitive
man was a Mongol. This would infer
that our original color. was yellow

the Chinese, that the people Of Europe

himself TO a study Of skin, hair ana

Ocean Grove, N. j., Aug. 26.-Presi-
dent Mckinley addressed $4,000 people
in the auditorium here yesterday after
noon. He was introduced by Bishop
Fitzgerald. who said that there was no
conflict between the stars and stripes
and the flag OF the cross, and that they
float side by side for humanity. liberty
and truth"
The president said: Love of flag and
love of country are not inconsistent
with religious faith.
II believe that there is more love for
our country and uhat more people love
the flag than ever before. Wherever
that flag is raised IL stands not for des-
potism and oppression. but for liberty,
opportunity and humanity, and what
the flag has done for us we want IL to
do for all people and all lands which
by the fortunes of war have come with
in it's jurisdiction.
When the tumult stopped the presi-
dent said: Il have said more than I
Intended"
Bishop Fitzgerald in introducing the
president, said:

church and also i'm behalf of the thou

multitude here assembled.
The church which we represent, and
or which we form part, has at all
times. and i'm many ways. shown its
loyalty to the government of which you
are the distinguished head.
THAT flag does not mean one thing In
the United States and another in Porto
Rico and the Philippines. There has
been doubt in some quarters respecting
the policy of the government in the
Philippines.
Il see no harm in stating il in this
presence: Peace first; then. with char
ity for all, to establish n government of
law and order. protecting life and prop
erty and occupation for the well being
OF the people who will participate in IL.
under the Stars and Stripes"
When the president finished the big
building shook with the intensity of the
applause.
I'VE march un -er the flag which
floats under the banner of the cross.
Between these two banners there is no
conflict; they float tremendously to-
gether wherever the hosts of Method
ism move.
Both of them stand for righteous
ness. justice. humanity and freedom.
We regard the defense OF the one the
same as the defense of the other, and
we consider the advancement of the
one TO be the advancement of the
other"
