The Question Answered.

"NOw, this question answers Itself. InlS
great assemblage here answers 1t. Until
the negro is acknowledged to be a man we
will get no solution of this problem. There
may be some negroes In the rice swamps
of the south who have only spark OF
manhood in their bosoms, but are we to
crush that? IL we do, are we following the
law of Christ?
''In connection with the solution Of this
problem let me tell you a story. Recently
/ spent some time in Richmond, Va, and
while there l heard more speechmaking to
the square inch than ever heard before or
since. Everywhere my friends and l went
somebody made an address to US. Two
sentences only remain in my memory, and
the one that is the most interesting to me
was made by an old colored man. We were
talking together about the trouble between
the north and the south, which he referred
to as the late unpleasantness.' In a
thoughtful way he said, 'Dey didn't have
nuff telligence tn think it out, so dey JUS
had to fight 1t out l tell you that N an is
a genius. Let us have enough 'telligence'
to think it out. We should not let 1t rest as
1t is.
The government owes you protection.
If a government cannot protect the lives of
its citizens it ceases to be a government.
Gentlemen, our whole civilization is at
stake. You are in the second greatest crisis
in your history. At the head of the govern
ment today there Is a man who has the
courage of his convictions; but today there
is an alliance to overthrow him. This alli-
ance is between the crime of New York, the
trust powers of the land and the race preju-
dice in the south. Let the issue for you be
on citizenship 1t may be a generation be-
fore you will have another chance. The
question stands to be decided: the political
parties may divide on it. but you stand to-
gether and let the country know what you
are striving for.

Not Frightened by Threat.

ut is said that you cannot have justice
and liberty, because if you are given these
things the people of the south will fight.
That does not scare me a bit Some day
the people of this country will rise up and
say that these principles, declared in DIS
tress shall not be torn down by irresponsi-
BILE men.
Now. gentlemen, l will give you some
advice. You must know that the race to
which I belong has reached a higher plane
to the greatest race of beasts of prey that
the world has ever known. Initiate the
white man, put forth all your efforts, and
maybe you will have an island in the sea
for yourselves after a while But initiate
the white man. Again, you must have an
organization to act and speak for you
The name of the present organiza ton is
too long. You must get rid of it and get
simple name that means exactly what you
stand for. Do not be afraid Of the word
negro. If 1t Is what you are, own it, and
call yourselves and your organizations by
1t. AS long as you are afraid of the white
sions. Again, 1 say do away with your
National Sociological Society That is
one of the faults of your race. You are too
fond of using long words.
Form such an organization Of your best
and truest men, as l have suggested, and
form 1t right away. Charge % cents as
an initiation fee, and by the next election
have between four and five million dollars
to aid your cause. Send representatives to
speak for you in places where they are
needed.
eff you are not prepared to take a good
part In the administration Of affairs in this

sleeping car in the train. The route was

proved.

night to keep from freezing. Frequent
ly l heard and felt the train creeping
along as If the engineer had lost his
way.
About 1 o'clock in the morning the
conductor stirred me up with the in
formation that the car was on fire and
we would have to turn out. None of
the occupants seemed alarmed or in
cl1ned to move. We got up leisurely.
AS soon as we got our traps to-
gether and passed into an ordinary
passenger car ahead the train was UNI
coupled from the sleeper, and we sim
ply watched the coach burn until there
was nothing left except its iron fraale.
This the crew removed from the tracks,
and then our train pulled out
There was no system of heating
coaches on the Intercolonial at the
time of which I speak, except by
wood stove. All the fuel was consum-
ed and the passengers huddled and
chartered and swore the balance of the
night. One man froZe his nose trying
to look through a frosted glass.

TILTED BY JOURNALIST
GREATEST CARMEN CAN NOW
SYMPATHIZE WITH DON JOSE
Story Goes That Out of Spite CaIve
VIII Wed French Palm Reader to
Atone for the Loss of the Partisan
Newspaper Writer.

Announcement has been made that
Calve, the grand opera singer, Tilted
by a French writer, will wed for spite
a French palm-reader. Whether this
be true or not nobody, except Calve
and the French writer, knows for a
certainty. and neither the one nor the
other is apt to tell.
But at least the general public may
rest assured that the story of the jilt-
ing is not a press agent story, for
however great a grand opera singers
love of advertising may be, her vanity
is sure to be greater. The announce
ment that one is going to wed a duke,
even if untrue, tickles ones vanity,
especially when it is printed under
glazing headlines, but the news that
one is Tilted, even by a penny liner
as a story merely. has no advertising
qualities superior enough to soften
the blow it deals vanity.
This story of Calve merely empha-
sizes one of the drawbacks to the
possession of fame. An ultra modern
poet singing in pessimistic mood the
love affairs of a hoodlum, declares
that invariably humble virtue gets it
in the neck" It is to be regretted
that this is not only poetry but truth,
but the fact also remains that genius,
as invariably, gets it in the news
papers. Undoubtedly there are mo-
ments when genius doesn't mind this,
but there are other moments, as, for
instance, in the case of CalVe, when
it surely must envy humble virtue.

Famous Surgeon Praises Nurses.

Prof. Lorenz, the great Vienna sur
geOn, who has been performing opera
tions in this country with great sue
| cess, has been discussing women and
their work. He was asked if women
could follow in his work and perform
his operations.
The Herr Professor shook his head
without a suspicion of regret in his eX-
preston.
'She could not" he said positively
and decidedly. "The first requisite to
perform what is called these bloodless
operations is strength-a mans
strength. One does not want to see that
in a woman.
"A woman may be diagnostican, a
! general practitioner, but never should
she be a surgeon. To be a surgeon re-
quires all the qualities she should not
have"
What should she be?" he was asked.
"a nurse!" cried the doctor.
LET me right here congratulate the
American nation. Never till came to
this country have l known what a
woman could be in the way Of a nurse.
In Austria they are women of any
class, of any sort. They are women Of
little education. Here in America they
are ladies-ladies! Never have l been
so amazed. They are in aprons and
caps, but they are educated. they are
refined, they are charming. Never have
/ seen such a thing-never!
You are so far ahead of us in this
that l am lost in wonderment. You see
how l appreciate what women may do,
but say to them not to attempt to COM
pete with my processes.
Never have L recommended to a
woman to study medicine. No, not
even to my wife, who is my assistant
and my pupil. She is in no sense
doctor. She has merely interested her
self in the care of my patients after my
operations when I could not remain,
when I was called elsewhere. She un-
derstands what should be done.
IF I had a daughter" he said, 'T
should spoil her beyond anything i'm
aginable. She should have what she
pleased-anything everything. Only
she should never be a doctor. Never
even a nurse! No. never! She should
be domestic wholly. Some day she
should be a wife, a mother.
THE spiritedwoman of Amer
lea is charming, exquisite, but in vi
emma we are still somewhat old-fash-
toned"
