EQUALIZATION. to a practical science by
their liaisons with Afro Ameriean Wo-
men and their begetting Of mllatto
children. Moreover, if some Of: the
white folks" perhaps some Of Mr..
Powers society friends, could only
trace back their genealogy for a short
period, they would find many convlnc-
ing reasons for not stirring UP; too
much excitement upon that point.
Furthermore, we do not believe that
Mr.. Powers devoted one minute to
''close, earnest study OF the race ques-
ton nor that he is qualified for such
study. We grant that he has devoted
some study TO- finding or inventins
certain arguments to sustain some
fusty, misty, rusty old crochets which
he imbibed when he was put at his
mothers breast but the first process,
in all true study, is to divest the mind
of prejudice Mr.. Powers did not do
this; consequently his study was
mere waste of time. It is perfectly
evident that what Mr.. Powers refers
to as facts of his own finding were dis
coveries made on some street, corner,
most of which are false. ~. g..

MR.. POWERS RACE STUDY.


We present for the delectation Of
cur readers, an extract from the re-
Gently delivered address of School
Superintendent j. N. Powers Of Ten
nessee. 1t is as follows:
II believe in ny heart that had de-
signing politicians and mistaken phil
anthropists and fanatical. misguided
Northern women let our Negroes
alone cur younger Negroes would be
ouI, loyal friends today.
AFTER a close, earnest study CT the
Negro | have come to the deliberate
conclusion that industrial education is
the only kind suited to him as race,
and that we should give him only that
kind of training in the public schools.
| find that the younger Negro boys
and girls in our schools, those in the
high school grades, bear toward the
white race the most bitter feelings.
From the time they are put at their
mothers breast they are taught
through precept, more by example.
not to do anything that will assist, &C
commodate or oblige the white folks.
| believe that a liberal education is
the worst thing for the Negro The
more education of this kind he re-
ceives the more he hopes to enjoy the
same relations in every sphere Of life
that the white man enjoys. The char
acter of education he is receiving in
the public schools today, which gives
him no Industrial training, is spelling
him.
Let US be honest with each Other.
You know | sreak the truth. We can
never solve this problem by giving the
Negro a liberal education. A thorough
industrial education is the only hope
for its solution. Equal protection I'M
der the law-that he has and must
continue to have. Education that
raises in his heart the desire for So
cial equality-we must see that he
shall not have. Back of the question
of social equality every man, woman
and child of the Southland is willing
to lay down his life. This is grave
problem, my friends. 1t is growing
more acute eve1y day. Let us pray
that Almighty God may help us solve
it for the best interests of both races"
We are willing to concede Mr.. Pow
ers' sincerity-that out Of the abCnd-
ance Of the heart the mouth speak
eth; for the extent to which mans
heart and conscience may be sophis-
ticated by wronS+ education and I'M
fortunate environment in his youthful
days is something which has never
been calculated. But we protest
against his common error of refer

INSPECTOR IS BUSY.
Found the Attic ef One House Con.
 vartsd Into Chicken Coop.

Sanitary Inspector Callahan was out this afternoon Investigating case in the eastern section of the city where a man named Winslow is reported to be housing horse and pig in the cellar of the building the family lives in. This is strange companionship but it is said that after a porker ana horse get well acquainted they make very agreeable chums. The inspector encountered another strange case on North Elm street the other day where family named Pace had converted the attic into chicken coop. The birds were trained so that when the owner went to the foot of the stairway and tapped tin with spoon they filed down the stairs one after the other in as orderly a manner as chill dren retiring from school and much more so than some youngsters do on such occasions. After feeding and taking a walk about the yard the, would return to their quarters and spend their time strolling about the rooms and peering out through the windows. The only excuse the woman gave for keeping them in the house was that the weather was too cold to have them outside and besides there was danger of having them stolen from a shed in the yard. The lady made no objection to complying with the health ordinance as defined by the inspector and from that time forward the bullets had to content themselves with such shelter as they could find at the lee side of the block.

HAROLD MORAN INJURED.
Received Five Hundred Volts From a
 Live Wire.

Harold Moran of Ann street, for some time past an employe of the Con necticut Railway and Lighting Co, was seriously burned last night at the power station on Bank street. He was engaged in repairing lights report ed out of order and while looking over the rack he collided with live wire and received shock of 500 volts. He was rendered unconscious and fell back on a pile of pipes, where he WAS discovered by some of the rest of tho hands. Dr Morarty wasrcaalet1' and found the thumb of ,the- left hand burned down to the joint and the fin gers of the right hand roasted clear to the bones. The wire also struck him across the chest, but the sweater he had on saved him from injury at that point. The doctor said to-day that the boys injuries were severe. but he hopes to be able to save the injured thumb and fingers. Harold Moran is a son of the late Mir and Mrs T. J.. Moran and lives with his aunt, Mrs Mary Fox on Ann street. He is a bright promising boy and the accident is greatly regretted by all who know him.
