DIR. THIRKIELD'S REMARKABLE
DISSERTATION.

WE are continuing to publish extracts
from DR.. WILBUR p THRKIELD's remar.
kable dissertation ON THE Industrial and
higher education of the Negro" He
said:
The higher education is necessary
for the raising up Of trained leadership
for the race.
It is the higher education that is to
bring princes out Of Egypt. Moses was
fitted for leadership, because he was
trained in all the wisdom of the repres-
entative civilization of his day. The
words Of DR.. Henry Drummond are es-
pecially applicable to the Negro at this
time: "God is all for quality; man is for
anantity. But the immediate need Of
the world at this moment is not more of
MS, bat, If ! may use the expression, q
better brand Of us. To secure ten men
OF an improved type would be better
than If we had ten thousand of the
average Christians distributed all over
the world"
Ten Negroes Of an improved type can
do more for their race-and that means
for humanity-than ten thousand avsr-
: age Negroes distributed over America.
: The above il q sweeping statement.

Lancaster. Pa. March s.-The dan

shifted from cambridge. Columbia

The great gorge at Washington Bor-
ough broke. hurting tons of ice and
an immense volume of water against

tremendous impact. A new jam then
formed Just below Safe Harbor, where

ALYNCHING In OHIO.

THE lynching of RICHARD DIXON, col.
ored. at Springfield, Ohio. Monday.
March eth, 1904, was a dastardly exhi-
bition of mob violence and it seems
was accomplished only through the
connivance of the authorities, who
stood sworn to uphold the majesty of
the law. DIXON was charged with fat
ally shooting ANNA CoRBIN and Police
man CHARLES CoLLIs.
That it was possible that such a wan
ton violation of the law should take
place in a city the size of Springfield,
Ohio, is astonishing and indicates that
reformation is needed in the manage.
ment Of the city's affairs. Ohio has an
anti-lynching law and it has been sus-
tanned in all of its vital features by the
courts, thanks to Hon. HARRY @. SMITH,
who was the champion of the measure.
While DIXON may have been a worth
less character, his untimely taking OF
emphasizes the fact that every other
citizens life is in danger by just such
unfortunate occurrences.
=. II we are to judge by the recent hap
penings in Virginia, at Roanoke, Ne
gro prisoner charged with crime is SAT-
er from the fury Of a mob in Democratic
Virginia than he is from the same agen-
cy in Republican Ohio. The case should
be sifted to the bottom and the respon-
sibility placed. Excuses should not be
accepted. Lynch.law must go!

MORMON REFUSES
TO GIVE UP WIVES
Prospective Head of Church Will Con.
tinue to Defy the Law.
QUESTIONED BY SENATOR HOAR

Washington, March s.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
In the investigation of the protests
against Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah,
brought out variety of testimony, Of
which the most sensational was that
given by Francis NJ. Lyman, president
Of the Twelve Apostles of the Mormon
church and the man chosen to be the
successor of President Smith. His ad.
missions were similar to those pre-
viously made by Mr.. Smith pertaining
to the church government.
'Are you a polygamist?" Mr.. Tay-
Ter asked, and the witness replied
frankly Eyes" He said that he had
had three wives and that OF them two
are still living.
do you think 1t would be right to
abstain from polygamous cohabita-
tion?"
Mr.. Lyman admitted that he knew
that in living in polygamy he was dis
obeying both the law of the land and
the rule of the church. He also said
In reply to one of these questions that
he was not only now living in polyga-
nous cohabitation. but that he expect
ed to continue so to live.
Mr.. Hoar took the witness in hand
and brought out a succinct statement
from him which was of a character to
interest all present
Referring to the rule of which you
have spoken" said Mr.. Hoar, you I'M
derstand the rule or law of the church
to be the law of God, do 20 unot?"
Mr.. Lyman replied that such was his
understanding.
"Then you are living and intend to
live in violation of the law of God and
MANI"
II fully intend" said Mr.. Lyman,
ito be true to the law of my country
to my God and to my obligations and
covenants with my wives, and have
never done thing that my conscience
did not approve"
Senator Hoar-"So you. an apostle
OF your church. expecting to succeed
Mr.. Smith in the presidency and IN
that capacity to receive divine reve
lations yourself, confess that you ore
now living and expect to continue to
live in disobedience to the law of the
country, the law of your church and
the law of God?"
The witness replied with 4 simple
