To the Editor Of The Evening Star:


Those who desire no partisan advanta pe
in this Boer business, but only the truth,
would like to see the facts presented by the
Rev. Chas. Phillips, pastor of the Congre-
gational Mission at Johannesburg, met by
the present Boer delegates. Incidentally it
will be noticed that Mr.. Phillips, who was
recently attending the ecumenical mission
airy conference in New York, takes the
same position all the missionary people
from South Africa have seen quoted, par
ticularly those now in Chicago. Mr.. Phil
lips says:
1. The Transvaal "grondwet," or consti-
tuition. affirms that there shall be no
equality either in church or in state be-
tween white and colored." In the Cape
Colony constitution (BritisD this equality
is provided for.
2. Natives in the Transvaal may not use
the sidewalks or ride in the ordinary rail-
way carriages.

can do SO.
T. In the Transvaal natives can own no
land. In Cape Colony they can. and many
of them do
5. In the Transvaal natives may marry
by paying a SIS marriage fee-a premium
on immortality. In Cape Colony there is no
bar to the liberty of the natives in this
matter.
g. Mr.. Phillips says that while the Beers
spend large sums on the education of their
own children, leading the world in this re-
spect, the children Of foreigners have very
scant advantages and the natives no edu-
cation at ALL In Cape Colony there are
hundreds of native schools. supported by
government grants. school of this char

need for it.
Z. In the Transvaal the natives have not
and in the Cape Colony they have the
franchise. just the same as the whites.
If these statements of the Rev. Mr.. Phil
lips and other missionaries are true the
Beers have much to explain before they
can expect the sympathy of mankind
Facts are what are wanted, not skillfully
constructed arguments of special pleaders
who have never seen the Transvaal.
Would not there be more liberty in the
Transvaal under British colonial rule than
under Kruger? If so, the Beers are not
fighting for liberty, but for independence,

proposed to crush labor unions if he lived
ten years longer. Very recently he started
a relief system of his own but there was

with their own societies for mutual aid.

insured men while they were employees and

Why can't the National Geographic So
ciety get up a lot of reliable little railroad
guides. with good maps and text for travel

crease and diffuse geographic knowledge
than anything else that 1 know cf. the or
binary railroad circulars are wildly pref

are so shortened and straitened. Many
prominent railroad men could give power

actually oppose it 1t would strengthen
