Marshal, and he had for his second
wife a white woman who was equally
well received because OF her brains,
her grace, and her tactful reserve. But
Douglass and his wife were an excep-
tion and Northern exception. We had
been led to believe that a Southern WON,
an would allow herself to be hanged,
drawn and quartered before consentipg
tc miscegenation, and that the un-
countable bright mulattoes," quad
rooms, octoroons, ETC., were largely due
to a masculine color blindness dating
back some two hundred years previous
to the White House luncheon and that
the Southern Caucasian race-undefil-
able in its motherhood-was unassail-
ably safe.
However, this proneness of the 'po'
white trash" and the school ma ans of
the South to miscegenate is not the
only awakening view Of things that
Mr.. Smith of Tulane gives us. In his
labor of love, to show the Independent.
Nation, Outlook, Booklovers and other
Northern magazines the errors they
have. promulgated, he has. compiled
statistics to prove that the negro race
is inferior mentally, morally and
physically; that it is incapable of bet
terment beyond a certain point, the
negro child being quick and bright to
puberty, and then, because of earlier
closing of the cranial sutures. prema-
ture ossification of the skull takes
place, preventing all further develop
ment of the brain-every negro retain
ing his childlike irresponsibility and
immaturity to the very end.
There are statistics to prove also-in
spite of the South's previous plea of
the whites being overwhelmingly out
numbered by the blacks-that the
negro is a vanishing race. That it is
constitutionally weak, and since being
compelled to care for itself, instead of
multiplying, is not even holding its
own.
Which being the case. Mr.. Smith of
Tulane begs that no undue encourage
ment TO live, no revivifying injection of
sturdy white blood be made probable.

~ BOOK of considerable interest
~ to churchmen Is the new trans
= lation by Rev. John Faulkner
Potts of The Four Doctrines of
Swedenborg, the first volume of the
American. Swedenborg Printing and
Publishing Society's new edition of
Swedenborg's theological works. The
advent of the new book brings UP the
question as to the place held by Swed-
enborg in the history of theology.
Emanuel Swedenborg was a Swedish
nobleman, scientist and philosopher,
born January 29, 1888. He diec March
80, 1772. During the period of his
scientific activity he was considered
one of the ablest and most prominent
men of his country, was a trusted
counselor of the King and friend of
well-known scientists of that day, such
as Linnaeus, Polhem and others. His
scientific writings principally on
physics, anatomy and physiology, were
voluminous and were far in advance Of
his time. But Swedenborg's claim to
distinction lies in the fact that he
claimed to have been the divinely
chosen and prepared instrument
through which the inner or heavenly
meaning of the word of the Lord was
revealed. Swedenborgianism, as pro-
fessed by Swedenborg's followers, is
based on the beliefs of Swedenborg's
claims to have witnessed the last judg-
ment, or the second advent of the
Lord, with the Inauguration of the
new church through the new system
OF doctrine promulgated by him and
derived from the Scriptures, into the
true sense of which he was the first
to be introduced.
The four doctrines embraced by the
book are: (1) The Doctrine Of the
Lord" which is a careful analysis of
the Scripture respecting Jesus Christ
and an explanation of the trinity; CD
THE Doctrine of the Sacred Scrip
ture," which unfolds the doctrine of
the spiritual sense in its relation with
the literal and the way in which the
true doctrine is deduced from Scrip
ture; l(s) The Doctrine of Faith" and

Problem Discussed

ZONE twelve months or more ago
the President of the United States
gave an ordinarily simple White
House "home luncheon" that has be-
come historical.
Whether he intended it so or not.
President Roosevelt's invitation to
Booker Washington to come around to
lunch the next day, meet two or three
people he ought to know and talk
things over socially and as man to
man, seems to have become CHASTITY
white milestone on a hitherto care
fully shadowed road.
The next day and for days thereafter
the country rang with comment on the
Presidents idiosyncrasy, to put it mild
ly-insult, to voice the sentiment south
of the Mason and Dixon line.
Now. year after, we are given a
volume begotten in fear and righteous
wrath and worked out in the travail
Of intimate knowledge. The daily
papers would give but one page, the
magazines but fifteen pages-and the
subject was limitless-hence the vol
ume.
In the controversy precipitated by
the luncheon at the White House and
embittered by more recent procedures.
the attitude of the South presents an
element Of the pathetic. The great
world is apparently hopelessly against
her. says William Benjamin Smith
of Tulane University of Louisiana.
This is the opening paragraph of .The
Color Line, Brief in Behalf Of the
Unborn" and all the remainder of the

statistics, histories and prophecies
streams out from that ingenious
fount.
According to Mr.. Smith that lunching
together of two public men, each a
leader, reformer and doer of great
deeds in the eyes Of the world: men of
similar attainments and aims, though
of dissimilar color and racial charac-
teristics, opens the door to social
equality and inevitable miscegenation
and deterioration Of the South.
The women Of the southland are not
taken into consideration as responsible
factors, Many bright mulattoes would
ambitiously WOO, and not few would
win. well-bred women disappointed in
love or goaded by impulse or weary of
the stern struggle for existence. AS a
race the Southern Caucausian would be
irreversibly doomed. No other con-
ceivable disaster that might befall the
South could. for an instant, compare
with miscegenation within her borders
neither flood nor fire. fever, famine
nor the sword, nor even ignorance, in
dolence nor carpet-baggery. Therefore
is the South justified In this absolute
denial of social equality to the negro,
no matter what his virtues or abilities
or accomplishments"

asked to put the gist Of his book In q

tive?" he was asked.
DO we get our deserts" replied the
author.
The parable of the ProdigaI Son is
the most human and beautiful OF the
parallels Of Christ. but, perhaps. 1t Isl
also the most perplexing. Has 1t ever
occurred to you to ask yourself What
would be the result II its incidents
were transferred to real life and its
teaching were accepted as an exampls
of conduct among men? II a good
father could so spoil a son by over
indulgence what would be the conse-l
quence? II a son, after wasting his
substance In riotous living and coming
down to the condition in which no
man will give unto him. could return,
home and be completely fo- given and
taken back into the full enjoyment OF
the position he has forfeited. what
would be the effect? II an elder
brother who has lived a righteous LIE
could be superseded in the end by a.
younger brother who has lived an evil
life. what would be the result? Would
not the social order be disturbed1
Would not all the ordinary laws OF life
be violated? Could law and order be
maintained in a community in which
such things were possible? In short,
would not civilization be reduced to
something like chaos?"
