SATURDAY. JANUARY 80, 1904.

So many Southern people have come
iato Chicago, in recent years, bringing
their race prejudices with them, that
the poison has spread, and many Nor
thern PEOPLE are now affected by the
virus.
Evanston. once SO free from color
prejudice. is now strongly affected by
the hellish caste spirit. This was
shown at the Human Debating So
ciety of Northwestern University
Tuesday night. but in spite Of the op-
70. iti;,r. John P. Faulkner. an Afro
American student was elected to
membership by a majority of one vote.
The membership of this society is
limited to twenty-five. But two va
,.ancie5 existed, and there were three
q, Allcants. Two of these were Cauca-
slams, the third an Afro American,
,lorn =. Faulkner, of Glencoe, ILL.,.
"a Junior Last year Faulkner won the
:third Prize in the preliminary contest
for representation OF the university,
his suDjecr being 'The Races. rms
year, in the preliminary contests, he
won a place permitting him to con-
test for the final honor, and some OF
his friends thought he should be en-
titled to membership in the Human
Debating Society, which is composed
vi some OF the most brilliant young
ncu of the university.
There is a contingent in the univer-
sity which is opposed to Faulkner
and other Afro-American students, so
when faulkners application came up
for consideration there was opposition.
It is said that there is likely to be
trouble when a full meeting is held, but
we trust that the spirit of fair play
which is so strong in the Northern
people will prevent the Southern con-
.lingent, which is SO bitter against
Americans. from reversing the
decision which made Faulkner mem
Der of the society. The only objection
which can be raised against him is the
colo: Of his skin, and such an obJec-
ton is unworthy Of people who claim
to be Christians.

der of Miss Sarah Schafer, the young

that an o-American is the guilty
party. The "red hairs" which were
found in her clenched hand, dwindled
down to one, and then changed to
horse hair If the wretch who COM
mitted the horrible deed is caught,

how. In the case of Rogers against

Monday sustained the right of an Afro

ATHENA, SEPTEMBER 81, 1904

Friday night the business men Of
Pendleton perfected the temporary or
ganization Of the Anti-Prohibition
League. This organization is the out
growth Of opposition to Pendleton be-
ing placed under the ban of "dry"
town by the local optionists in common
with the other towns and precincts of
the county, the issue to be voted on at
the coming election. Among the speak
ers Of the evening was Judge Stephen
A. Lowell. Mr.. Lowell stated that he
was an advocate Of local option and
voted for the measure. 81 believe in
the principle" he said, "but l am OPP
posed to the closing of the saloons in
this city, for | believe such move
would be preiudicial to the interests OF
Pendleton. l take this stand from a
purely business standpoint" The stand
taken by Judge Lowell is peculiar one,
to say the least. In principle he ac-
cepts the measure as being o. X, but
from business standpoint he rejects it
for the reason that il is business
killer. Exclude Pendleton and the
Judge is local optionist and favors pro-
hibition; include Pendleton and the
Judge is found in the ranks of Anti
Prohibitionistsl Leave Pendleton wide
open, shut up Adams Athena and Wes-
ton; let revenue from the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors flow into Pendleton's city
Golfers, but let the grass grow in the
streets of the other towns, then Judge
Lowell is a prohibitionist- - otherwise,
nit. This, perhaps, is the sentiment of
Pendleton as whole, but whether it is
or is not, makes little difference SO far as
concerns Athena. She believes in open
and above-board fairness, and in the
motto: "Treat all alike" She strenu-
ously objects to any issue being carried
into effect wherein Pendleton is permit
ted to reap benefit or gain, to her in
jury and disadvantage. There are local
optionists who believe in principle strong
enough to be fair, and when you run
across one Of these, you find that he
favors taking in the county as a whole
on the issue.
