The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1901-11-14

The FIRST mistake of this cam
paign was made at the state con-
vention. How can it be expected
that we acquire success if we re-
pudiate this year, our declarations
and teachings of last. In 1896 we
held up our platform as the second
declaration of independence to
lead our people out of bondage.
In 1900 we re-affirmed our stead
fast belief in those principles, and
the editor of this paper was honest
in his advocacy of such and will
take no backward step now, but
there came upon the boards, only
a year later, Democratic State
Convention in Ohio and voted
down a resolution that declared
our unfaltering re-affirmation Of
those principles Could we ex-
pect other than defeat, delving in
such hypocracy before the people2 ?
What right has a few platform
makers to, with one stroke of the
pen, destroy all the days and
nights of toll on the part of the
Democratic editors of Ohio in four
years honestly and earnestly en-
deavoring to teach the people the
way to liberty as we see it. and as
these platform makers claimed to
have seen it. Is it any wonder
that thinking men become disgust
ed and stay at home, rather than
have their convictions bickered
and bartered by few.

Lancaster Gazette. j

Some friends of John Kost, the
night clerk at the Kirn House,
sent him fake telegram this morn
ing dated Cincinnati and Offering
800 for his guess in the Enquirer
contest. John read the dispatch,
took long breath and set his
think tank 70 work. Within
minute he figured that the capital
prize was his and he wanted to
break the news to mother and be-
gan spending some of John r. Nc
Leans twelve thousand plunks
right away. He gave the gang in
the Office the high sign to assemble
and they did. They were there
in suspiciously large numbers, but
John wasn't on. He fought to
conquer his emotion and swallow
the lump that was in his throat.
Then with shaking hands and jerky
voice he read the message. He
finished Handwriting bee and
invited everyone to have drink.
They all went and most of them
stopped on the way and opened
recruiting offices. They were sue
cessful. When the bunch lined up
in front of the bar they were stand
ing six deep and the swinging
doors were working over time.
Still he didn't tumble. He settled
like little man and went back to
have another nice dream and figure
out who he will hire to count his
money. Well, it would be shame
to wake him, but the fires
out.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1901-11-14
greater antagonism and conflict

greater antagonism and conflict
rather than to bring them together,
and the wiser members of the
negro race know this.
President Roosevelt doubtless
recognizes, as all we'll informed
men do, the great service which
Mr.. Washington has rendered to
the members of his race. He is
not the only colored man who de-
serves great credit, but he is prob
ably its most conspicuous member
of the present generation. The
president may have invited him
without considering the question
that it raises, and Mr.. Washington
may have accepted from feeling
that an invitation from the presi-
dent was equivalent to command.
1t is to be hoped that both of them
will upon reflection realize the
wisdom of abandoning their pur-
pese to wipe out race lines, if they
entertain such a purpose. Prof.
Washington's work as an educator
will be greatly impaired if he al
lows it to be understood that his
object is to initiate the members of
his race into the social circles of
the whites, and he will do injus-
tice to those of his own color if he
turns their thoughts away from
intellectual and moral development
to the less substantial advantages
if there are any advantages at
ALTO be derived from social
equality. The negro can find a
sufficient stimulus in the ambition
to so elevate himself and the mem
bers Of his race as to create sat
isfactory society among his own
people; his efforts in behalf of his
race will be weakened rather than
strengthened by any effort on Lis
part to desert those of his own
color in order to shine in white
society. No advantage is to be
gained by ignoring race prejudice;
it is wiser to recognize it and to
make our plans conform to it.
Race pride, like self-respect, is a
valuable characteristic Race pride
will the negro good; he has reason
to be proud of what his race has
already accomplished and he can
employ all the energies Of a siren
uous life in an effort to show that
his race is deserving of a high
place among the races of the earth,
and that place will depend, not
upon social distinctions, but upon
mental breadth and moral worgh.
The race question which we have
on hand will require for it's proper
solution the intelligence and pat
riotism of all the people, black as
well as white. The recent occur
renee at the White house will not
make that solution easier, but it
ought to convince all Of the folly

of husband or wife. 1t is no
cause for otfense to any man that
you prefer to associate with some
one else; it depends upon your
character and virtues whether the
preference is compliment to or a
reflection upon him, but in either
case you have a right to choose
congenial companions and in doing
so you are not only within your
rights, but you are doing what
every one does. Those who love
books enjoy each others company,
although some may be very rich
and some very poor. The rich
may enjoy each others company
although some are ignorant and
some are intellectual. People are
drawn together by family ties, by
church relations, by neighborhood
associations and in a multitude of
other ways. Usually social lires
are invisible ones, but they are
everywhere recognized. They are
no more inconsistent with universal
brotherhood than are family ties
or national obligations. The
families of community are seper-
ate and distinct; each is engaged
in it's work and each decides how
far it will share its confidence and
its companlonship with the families
about it, but this does not prevent
the recognition of the right of all
families to equal consideration and
protection at the hands of the gov
ernment, nor does it prevent the
exercise of charity, mercy and
benevolence. The various nations
are but groups of families associat-
ed together for mutual protection
and benefit. The fact that each
nation has customs, institutions
and laws peculiar to itself, does
not prevent its recognition of those
natural rights which are broader
and deeper than national boundar-
les.
So, the members of a race are
bound together by sympathies and
sentiments which are both natural
and permanent. Those who OPP
pose social equality between the
white man and the negro do so on
the ground that they do not believe
that the amalgomation of the two
races is disirable. They think it
better for the white man to work
out the problem of his race while
the black man is working out the
problems of his race. There can
be cooperation and helpfulness
without intermarriage. Each race
can recognize the natural rights of
the other and both can contribute
as far as is within their power, to
the strength and development of
the nation. The advocacy of social
equality will tend to throw the
white and the black races into

TENNESSEE PEARLS.
A Great New York Firms Estimate
of Our Mouptalon Stream Gems.

New York World.
The great Tiffany is authority for the
statement that the finest pink pearls
in the world come from the mountain
streams in Tennessee, and it is in
teresting to observe how rapidly fashion
is appropriating the finest of these
gems for her own insistent needs.
Only those of perfect spherical form
and brilliant luster were accepted, and
the prices We're correspOndingly high.
Many really beautiful pearls that were
not round nor pearl shaped We're actu-
ally flung into the water again because
of their odd shapes, that render them
valueless. As the shape of the pearl
depends entirely on the shape of the
tiny foreign substance that floats in be-
tween the shells of pearl bearing
oysters or muscles, perfectly round
pearls are consequently very rare, and
the loss TO pearl divers was, of course,
great. Fashion, however, for once has
become both sensible and kind, for she
holding the final decision, has decreed
that many very beautiful ornaments
and trinkets can be created from these
irregular and odd d-shaped gems A
glance through the leading iewelry
shops in the city prove this assertion.
Among the latest novelties III jewelry
are La Villiere necklaces They are
chic and beautiful, consisting of a great
many Tennessee pearl of irregular
outline and of any color, set in some
quaint design ana suspended from a
splendid gold chain. These are to be
worn outside the bodice, and they are the
rage in Newport and New York, where
they are even worn with shirt waists
The most attractive design is made
from crescent shaped pearl around
which is entwined an enameled and
jeweled serpent pendant from the neck
chain of fine gold.
