on their individual merits. Surely
it will be much easier to adopt the
same plan with the Negroes, who pos
sess SO many more merits upon which
to base a policy. Why is it neces-
sary to consider the colored people as
a whole? There are good and bad
among them; ignorant and intelligent,
industrious and lazy, honest and dis
honest, well-meaning and criminal.
But all this is true of the whites as
we'll. In our opinion Mr.. John Tenn
pie Graves is trying to throw the pa
tient into fits. He is not a competent
diagnostician. Nobody-in the South,
at least-wants to get rid of the Ne
groes. What in the world should we
do without them? They are our best
friends, our most faithful and affect
ionate servants, our stalwart laborers
frequently our artisans and experts
in many departments of the very high
est usefulness. Because a few ''edu-
Gated" and correspondingly offensive
bootblacks, walters, school teachers,
lOafers, and SO on, have their heads
turned by foolish counsel and incendi-
ary suggestion, are we called upon to
condemn, repudiate, and exile the
whole mass of the colored population?
Let us treat toughs, rowdies, crimi-
nails, and drOnes as they deserve and
without anU raforaDca to tho nj oman I
in their skins. Why go into the con-
fectionery business and manufacture a
race problem merely in order to en-
courage a handful of quacks with nos
trums to dispose Of?-The Washington

WE CAN MEET THE ISSUE.

And now, among all our other woes,
into politics in the North as party
issue. The initiative is to be taken
by the Democrats, who propose 10 put
the Republican party squarely on rec
ord as to whether they support Presl-
dent RooseVet's attitude on the race
question. They also are moved to ag1-
tate the matter, as they think they see
strong evidence of antagonism to the
race on the part of Northern ana
Western white men in the many lynch
ings and brutalities with which they
have visited our people.
On first thought the proposition
seems a grave menace to our political
we'll being. Our ballots tell in the
North and West. In many States our
vote is the balance of power ana we
receive consideration and fair treat
ment accordingly. 1t is natural Ior
the Democratic party to use every
means. fair or foul, to destroy us as a
voting factor. because we have not yet
faltered in our loyalty to the Repuoh-
can party, and the desperate strait OF
the Northern Democracy may be seen
in the proposed appeal to the basest
sentiment in the human breast-that
of color prejudice. But further renee
ton teaches us that we should cor
daily invite the issue. No other issue
could afford US the opportunity TO
brin, vividlv before the people of this
country. who have not followed the
notifications on the subject, the mag
nificent march of our people since
emancipation, up prosperity's helghIs

WORK FOR THE FOOL-KILLER.

1t is announced that John Temple
Graves, of Atlanta Ga, has been again
exploiting his views on the race ques-
ton, this time before the convO-
cation of the University of Chica-
go. AS usual, they are distinguished
by brutality and ingratitude. His
talk of us as an unwelcome, help
less unassimilable element in the coun-
try's civilization violates the truth Of
the country's history and is easily dis
proved. The real difficulty and error
reside in permitting these apostles of
extreme Southern views to talk to
Northern audiences
Here is a fine opportunity, however,
for the learned pundists of the Chicago
colored press to take up his arguments
and paralyze him for his temerity in
| their bailawick. They will do the
race a service-one of infinitely higher
| dignity that their negative perform
| ances and their constant villification
and abuse of those of the race who are
| doing something and have no time foI
SANDER and detraction. Let these
wise men of Chicago show that they
know the history of this country and

ing fitness for American citizenship,
our respect for law and order, the
absence among US of anarchists and
strikers, and our valor and devotion
to our country in war. 4
Then, too, we do not hesitate to
commit our cause to the conscience of
the North and West The boundless
empire of our prairies is peopled with
an honest, loyal, liberty-loving and
fair-minded class. New England start
and the breadth of New England ideas
still dominates their sentiments which
would seem to have acquired still
greater intensity from the breadths of
their bOundless country.
Heresies, like rag money and the sill
yer craze has occasionally sent into
eclipse their loyalty to the historic
Republican party, but the pendulum
other way when wiser counsel pre-
vailed in sympathy with liberty and
patriotism and humanity, the funda-
mental principles upon which the
great party of righteousness was
reared.
Ours will be the victory-ours the
reward of such an issue. We will see
the conscience of the great North
aroused as never before since the
flames of civil war famed it to fever
heat The great forces of right will
redeem many a state now Democratic
from the diabolical clutches of that
party of reaction and blind unreason-
ing prejudice. Organizations which
now look askance at us will welcome
us to their membership, admission to
business houses will be made more
possible for our youth, and in every
material respect our condition will be
improved.
Let the agitation begin. 1t cannot
begin too quickly.

MIR. GRAVES IS "HELL ON FITS"

We think that the newspapers are
taking the Hon. John Temple Graves
too seriously-almost as seriously as
he takes himself, in fact, which is OF
course reckless. His address the 9th
er day before the forty-eighth COM
mencement of the University of Chica-
go has been discussed much more sol
emnly than it deserves His proposed
solution of the race problem is neither
original nor practical. 1t is essenti-
ally and fundamentally fallacious,
since he has to create a disease in or
der to prescribe a remedy. He reminds
Us of that good old swamp doctor in
Arkansas who admitted that he knew
nothing about ague malaria, etc, but
said he could throw the patient into
fits and then cure him, for, as he com
placently observed, he certainly was
hell on fits" 1t seems to us, how
ever. that we do not want to be thrown
into fits, and so we refuse to call in
Swamp Doctor John Temple Graves.
Why make a race problem in the
case of the Negro? There is none in
the case of the Slav, the Hun, and 9th
ers, all infinitely more Objectionable
than the Negro. We treat these very
distasteful recruits to our population

Substantial justice will never be
done to the Southern colored man un-
til that section ceases to permit itself
to be represented by such vulgar char

feels her humiliation.

we are not able to concur in the
proposition that there should be en-
forced emigration of the Negroes to
the PHILIPPINE Islands, but it is pleas
ant to note that the natives there take
most kindly to American Negroes and
fraternize with them cordially. We
believe that there are abundant oppor-
tunities for the race in the islands, but
their removal thither should be vOlun-
tary and in small numbers.

yeutiInte the Kitchen.

Poorly ventilated, overheated ateh-
ems, says one who has given the matter
thought, are responsible in many cases
not only for the proverbial III temper
Of cooks, but for their predisposlton to
disease. Rheumatism, varicose veins
and tuberculosis are maladies which
frequently afiiIct the cook, to say moth
ing OF alcoholism, which is still more
common. The reason adduced for the
alcohol habit is that men or women
working in air heavy with food are
seldom hungry, but crave stimulOnts.-

ROMANCE OF
OLD PHILADELPHIA
IorlEinaLl


occurred many years ago. Perhaps it
Is because the people OF the past were
different from ourselves and more diff
ferent than we are from each other.
How different from that immense
city which today is spread over thou
sands of acres, whose streets are IN
adorned except with colossal buildings
and whose people are engaged in the
mad rush for money! Then beautiful
trees lined her thorouShfares, her
houses were quaint little buildings. and
her Quaker population wore broad
brlmmed hats, broad tailed coats and
knee brooches.
Polly Pennell, nineteen years old.
was the daughter Of a Philadelphia
Quaker father 1.-THE strictest sect a
Pharisee"-and a Church of England
mother. Polly was pretty rs a picture
and had hosts Of admirers, all Of whom
were sharply watched by her curmudG-
con father. Her most intimate friend
was Rebecca Hamilton. Rebecca was
not TO the taste Of old Pencil, she be
Ing OF the world worldly. She took 4
fancy to Polly, however, and soon aft
er their first meeting one Sunday after
church she came down the street car
rylAS aloft a beaver hat, two feet on
the briIn, looking for all the world like
n balloon jib. leg o mutton sleeves for
splnnakers, and gloves laced TO the Ell
bows. The rest of her rig was pro.
fusion of tulle and india muslin. Meet
ing Polly. she swooped down upon her
and carried her Off TO dinner.
Polly was rescued by her Quaker at
teRdants and received severe ad-
monltion TO shun the worldly creature.
But Rebecca was as much to PoIly's
taste as she was to PoIly's parents
distaste. \ high bred dame, she dis
dained conventionalities as only neces-
sary for inferior people who did not
know how 10 behave themselves and
made her own rules Within a week
after the rescue Polly had visited her
in her home There she was taken into
dinner by a young virginian, the very
antipodes OF Quaker, named Francis
Duaney. His dress was far more eff
fective in impreSsing young girl than
