NEGROES APPEAL TO KNOX.
Want Attorney General to Fight the
Attacks ON the 18th Amendment.

Washington, November 1.-THE
negro race. as represented in the
National Sociological Society, now in
session here, and friends of the race
will ask Attorney General Knox
within the next few days to defenQ
the constitution of the United States
in the supreme court against ths at
tacks being made on the fifteenth
amendment. A committee was ap-
pointed at the meeting today to
make the request of the /Attorney
General.
The movement was inGugurated by
George c.. Gorham, formerly Secre-
tary of the Senate.f He declared that
what the negroes wanted to do was
to take advantage of their political
power. >he referred to the Alabama
cases. to come up before the Su-
pEAme Court in January and sug-
gested that the lawyers in the case
| be asked if they desired help.
Ex-Governor Pinchback, of Louis
lana, supported GOrham'S motion.
He said he did not want to see the
Alabama cases go py default and
that he was willing to assist in pre-
venting it. The ommlttee is as fol
lows: Former Representative George
IL. w llIlC. " &NolN
| sor Kelly Miller, Ex-Governor Pinch
back, General William Birmney and
| G.. C. Gorham. --fs
Education, craftsmanship and re-
| ligion as factors in the solutions OF
the race problem were discussed. The
| principal speaker was Rev. Dear
| Richmond Rabbit, of Brooklyn, who
| said in part: -.
For white and black there |:
| something more valuable than the
ballot, as precious as that IS te
Americans and that is full nora
manhood. Education is deeply val
liable. but as valuable as is tn
school. there is something still more
necessary and that is character
which comes from morality and re
ligion. In my judgment the cente
of power in your race in the soutl
is not the school room, but the pull
pit"

THEY HAD THE NERVE.

Every person who has isited the
penitentiary at Salt Lake City is sur
prised to learn of the attempt to es-
cape and of the fact that two of the
convicts who made the attempt actu-
ally gained their freedom. The pen
itentiary of Utah is said to be one of
the best regulated penal institutions
in the country and to one who has
been within the walls and noticed the
safe guards that confront the prison
ers on all hands would athink that it
would be worse than foolhardy to
make such an attempt as did those
seven men on Wednesday evening
last. Freedom. however. to men like
those. murderers and condemned Grim
inals, meant everything. 1t meant
life; confinement meant only an exis-
tence and finally death in a prison
cell. unwept and unknown. The odds
were many against them; they took
the chance of one in a thousand, ano
they failed One gave up his life,

cells, while but one is still at large.
The ways of the transgre ssor is hard.
especially so when he is confined be
hind stone walls and iron CRATES. The
men who made the desperate attempt
at the Utah prison now imagine that
they are no worse off than they were
before they tried to get away from

main. But they are for the reason
that they viii be deprived of some of
