Ignorant Chump.

Ii the chump, j. W. Hamilton,
knew more of history he would
not have made the wild break
he did before the Young Mems
Methodist League, that he did
last Thursday in San Francisco.
He advocates white and color
ed unions and says: "They
will sweep away cast lines and
benefit humanity" Is it igno'
rance, viciousness or a chea p
bid for notoriety? In the six.
ties and early seventies the
rank abolitionists advocated
the same and contended
whether it is wanted or not,
amalgamation of the white and
black race will solve the negro
problem" AS matter of fact
amalgamation in 1908 is further
from consuma ton than in '63 OF
'73.
