SAYS CRISIS
MAY BE NEAR
Colored Clergyman Of This City
Discussed Race Problem
and Mob Violence
MADE NUMEROUS PREDICTIONS

Rev. G.. e. Morris, of Morristown,
precipitated spirited discussion of
the negro problem at a conference Of
Baptist colored clergymen, held in
Bethany Baptist Church on Bank
street Newark, Monday Mr.. Morris
was invited to address the gathering
informally, and in the course of his
remarks he said:
"There are topics of civil, political,
moral and religious natures that the
public is now concerned about. The
most important of all is that of the
spirit of lawlessness that is now ramp
ant in our country. The country is
also much concerned about the race
problem; but there is no race problem
only as the white man makes. We
are part and parcel of this nation
God is the creator of all men. He is
the Father of all, and we are all
brethren; it matters not of what
color. But our people are being
prosecuted, and the only thing that
will stop it is by the consciences of
the people being touched, and their
hearts put in touch with God. If
not, there will be great revolution
in this country. The Civil War was
enough of a deluge of blood in this
land, and God forbid that there should
be another.
II am not prophet, but, design
ing the signs of the times, something
is bound to take place. America
must call halt. l do not say this
to stir up malice or prejudice. AS
minister of the Gospel, however, |
give warning that the nation must
awaken or be forever lost.
"The whole nation seems to be
bowling to lawleSsness, so far as our
race is concerned, and it is no wonder
that the Gar of Russia laughed at
and scorned and spurned the petition
made to him on behalf of the perse-
cuted Jews of his dominion, when in
our own republic men are burned and
tortured. Yet when we, as minis
tiers of the Gospel, cry aloud in de-
fence of our people, they say we are
exciting them. We do not believe in
crime or countenance it on the part
of our people, but we insist that the
law shall be maintained. We must
trust in God and maintain that
righteousness which exalteth ma
tion."
When Mr.. Morris had concluded,
Rev. E. E. Jackson, of Plainfeld;
Rev. R. A. Motley, of Jersey City,
and others engaged in debate as to
whether or not the prejudice existing
against the negro was due to his
condition. Most of the pastors ex-
pressed the belief that it was color
rather than condition that handi-
capped the negro Newark News.

THOUGHTS ON THINGS

The Dover Index alleges that the
Morristown g. o. p. prevented GER
tain unfortunate editor from earning
living A casual perusal of the Index's
columns almost justifies the sus-
piciOn that the gentleman named is
still earning living with the pencil.

Kiss at Martins Creek last week.
Here's a chance for the fuzzy para
graphist to perpetrate something
about little kisses.
j. c. Henderson,, of Butler, has
hit upon happy scheme in adver-

considered underlings. Ne News.
Guess the News doesn't know your
Uncle Howard. He isn't taking orders
just yet.
Sir Thomas Upton has made a
strong bid for feminine sympathy in
the coming yacht races. He has
promised to take" an American wife
if he lifts the Americas Cup. Won
der if he hasn't decided to take one
anyhow. If he can't get the cup he
may take the lass.
At the naturalization court In Allen
town last Tuesday, one Of the appli-
cants was asked by Judge Trexler the
question: "Who makes the laws of
Allentown, and the reply was: "The
fire companies. !" His application to
become an American citizen was re-
fused. Washington Star. Funny.
In Morristown he'd been passed and
patted on the back.

The Madison Eagle says:

There is not shadow of doubt
that Lewis Albert Waters, present
freebooter of the Borough of
Madison, will be the next post
master for Madison, Both the
local Republican committee and
the county Republican committee
have endorsed him; and he is also
endorsed by Congressman Fowler
The appointment will undoubtedly
be made in few days"
Mr.. Waters is we'll known in
public life in this county, has
many friends and so far as known
no enemies. He is capable and
will doubtless prove an excellent
official. His first duty will be to so
construct the affairs of the office
as to prevent the possibility of
another wave Of nauseous gossip
from floating over the borough
and extending throughout the
State. Mr.. Waters should be
postmaster in fact as we'll as in
name, else he should not accept
the place.

Much of the criticisms against
the game laws of the State seems to
be based on sound premises. The
legislature should have the State
commission take few weeks off
and pick out the obnoxious and
unjust features of the present law.
Then they should be repealed.
A revision of the present game
laws seems an absolute necessity.

SEASONABLE STORIES


j. S, Strunk, of the Washington
Slate Company at Bangor, has in his
possession several parts Of petritied
snake, which he took from bed of
limestone at the quarry few days
ago. The snake measured II inches,
ten of which resembled stone and
seven crystal. The backbone of the
snake is plainly visible. The crys-
tallized part could not be extracted
from the stone and remains intact in
the piece of stone. From the same
bed he also took a petrified clam.
The curios have excited considerable
interest.
