Lynchings nave not grown fewer
having placed himself on a social
equality with the negro In fact, it's
tendency has been to increase the
number of lynchings by making the
vicious negroes boIder and more ready
to commit crimes for which lynching
j; the punishment.
A Washington telegram to the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal says that pol
iticians are predicting that the race
question will be made an issue iii the
next campaign, and that it will also
be extensively aired during the next
congress.
The recent lynchings in Illinois, In
diana and Delaware, and other states
in the north and east, have brought the
question into politics, and it is said
that the Democrats will demand that
the Republicans give direct answer
to the question as to whether or not
the Republican party in the north is
a negro party, as it is in the south.
Reports have been received from
Indiana to the effect that the white
being estranged from their party on
account of race prejudice President
Roosevelt's attitude toward the negro
is regarded as largely responsible for
the feeling among white Republicans
that they can not align themselves
with a party that seeks to elevate the
negro to social equality with the
white man.
Democrats see clearly that what is
called race prejudice is being rapidly
taken from the south and placed in the
north by natural circumstances. OF
late there have been many lynchings
in the north, and there is strong
sentiment against the negro whe
heretofore the brother in black was
welcomed and fondled as an oppressed
creature. 1t is generally conceded
that President Roosevelt is response
bIe in a large measure for the promi-
nence of the race question in politics.
Discussing the race problem" in the
north, Prof w. H. Council, principal
of the agricultural and mechanical col-
lege for negroes, Normal, Ala, gives
his race some good advice in the fol-
lowing:
There is a crisis al hand for the
negro race in America. I am not sur

Buttoning a Coat.

Buttoning mans coat from right to
left was the original way, when our
ancestors, wrapped in skins, held the
right edge with the left hand and
naturally inserted fastening thorn
with the right hand. This right to left
custom has been retained by the He
brew priests in their garb to this day.
When fighting men became necessary
and swords and knives had to be
drawn by the right hand from the
left side, the edge Of the coat, buttoned
from right to left, was found to be in
the way, and men began buttoning
from the left. Nonfghting women
and priests continue to follow the old
custom.
