Private Dilworth of the United
States army, who is Caucasian, has
married a molatto girl and the post at
which his regiment is stationed is up
in arms. The soldiers would not
recognize Dilworth when he returned
from his honeymoon. The officers did
not take cognizance of the situation
until the soldiers refused to attend
the mess if Dilworth was permitted to
be present. The only solution of the
problem according to the Christian CD
officers was to serve ratlOns to Dill
worth and permit him to eat them
where he wished so long as it was not
in the mess hall. If Dilworth had
lived in adultery with an ,Afro-Ameri:

be just as determined about suppress
ing lynching as he has been in the
punishment of bribe-takers and other
law breakers. Relative to the recent
lynching in his state, he said:
NO matter how deserving OF death
the man may have been, or how das-
tardly the crime, it was murder for
the mob to hang him.. kidnapping is a
capital offense in Missouri, but the
execution should be by law and not
by mob.

those who take part in such laWless-

rected to investigate the matter and
to assist the prosecuting attorney OF

participating in this crime. Lynching
cannot and will not be tolerated in

Surgeon Major Woodruff. of the U.
S. army has discovered that The Ne
gro is really a nocturnal animal" He
adduces this proof: In the southern
states the plantation Negroes can be
heard all night long, prowling about,
shouting. singing, counting and chick
en- stealing
The Surgeon-Major does not explain
how anybody can be heard "prowling
about" which is somewhat unsatis-
factory, but probably could do so, it
he tried, by referring to the fact that
g. nocturnal animal must not be judy
ed by ordinary rules. And. by the
way. if a surgeon major is not exempt
from ordinary rules. a good many peo-
pie will come to the conclusion that
he is a blasted fool.

THE PRESIDENT AT CHICAGO.


The words of President Roosevelt
a. Chicago last week. in reply to the
labor leaders, who presented an in
srltjng and reasonable petition, had
the true ring.
He made it clear that the law must
be upheld at any COst-that labor un'
ions have no more right to violate
the law than individuals.
For more than month. there has
been veritable reign of terror in
Chicago. Men have been murdered
for no other reason than that they
were trying to work and make an
honest living Innocent citizens, who
had connection whatever. with the
strike. have been slugged and in many
cases seriously injured by strikers
and their hired thugs.
When the president came to Chica-
go not many persons imagined that he
would meet in a public address the
live issue which was stirring the city.
4: /the banquet table he turned to
Mayor Dunno, who sat at his right,
and said:
Mr.. Mayor, as president of the
United States. and therefore as repre-
sentative Of the people OF this cOun-
IT,. give YOU as a matter of course,
NIX hearty support in uphOlding the
law. in keeping order and in putting
down violence by mob or by an in
t.yidual.'
There need not be the slightest ap-
prehension in the thought OF the most
Jimid that ever the mob spirit VIII

dealing with the trouble must, as know
yon feel turning to Mayor Dunne)
exhaust every effort in so dealing with
it, before call is made upon any out
side body, but, if ever the need arises

lack of the state stands the Nation. y

rlause. applause which will find echo

this book peculiar timeliness. It is a
translation from the French, and it's
pages must have been written many
months before those outbreaks gave a
ton. The author is himself a Hebrew,
and subject to all the odium that is i'm
piled In the title to his book, but this
circumstance does MT seem to- have BIZ
ased his judgment in the forming of his
opinions. The case is certainly stated
with great candor, and the blame is dis
tributed with fairness. The fault is found
to be not all on the part Of the Gentle
world but the 1srae1ite hIrnse1f IS char
ged with having brought much of the
comings.
The, treatment given the subject is his
torical. In successive chapters the re-
lations between Jews and Gentiles. are
traced from the earliest times. Perhaps
the reader will be most surprised to
carried on reciprocal1y between the He
brews and their neighbors. From this
has resulted greater mixture Of race
than Jews would, perhaps. willingly ad-
distinctions whether these be founded up
on language, shape Of the head. OF color
of the skin. So long, however, as the
opinion prevails that races are distinct
and that there is superiority on, the one
part and inferiority on the other part
there is likely to be trouble between Jew
white. There are TOO many illustrative
examples of this in the current history
of this country, and this book can be
read with profit by many who are called
upon to decide questions daily arising
here.

find space to reproduce the long let
ter, but we shall give a brief enumera-
ton of the points which are disproved
by the evidence of the official reports.
The census shows the following facts,
viz: /"
1st-Thc Southern Afro-American
is not dying out, but increasing at
the healthful and normal rate of 31.l
per cent
2nd.-He is not flocking to the cit
les and living in idleness and crime,
but increasing at the rate Of 1877 per
cent in the rural districts.
2-He is not leaving the planta-
tons. 22.3 per cent more Afro Amerl-
cans we're employed on the planta-
lions in 1900 than in 1900.
4th-The number of bread-winners,
per thousand. among the Afro-Ameri-
cans increased during the last ten
years more than double that of the
whites the number of teachers in
creased at double rate to that of the
whites. The number of Afro-Ameri-
can iliiterates decreases about IL per
cent. that of the whites about 7 per
cent.
5th.-As to the assertion that edu-
Gated Afro-Americans are worthless,
Mr.. Curtis says: During my limited
travels, l have found a number OF
modest, unassuming. handwriting,
earnest Afro-American preachers,
teachers, doctors, lawyers druggists
and other educated men, who would
be a credit to any community, and
have earned the respect and conf
dence of a public that is naturally
prejudiced against them But he
adds that AN educated Negro is too
apt to be vain of his accomplishments
and to assert himself in an offensive
manner"
1t is very easy to see that in this
expression, Mr. Curtis simply re-
echoes the sentiment of the Southern
colonel; who above all things abhors
the idea of the Afro-American having
anything to do with politics. But
ro-Americans have a good deal to
do with politics in the North, and Mr.
Curtis does not assign any reason
why they should do otherwise in the
South, The idea that AfrO-Americans
"shorld build up reputation for abi'-
ity and integrity before aspiring to
honors and Office" is not applied to
white men and is very much like ad-
vising them not to go into the wa
ter until they learn how to swim
Professor Dubois ability and integrity
no more protect him from insult and
outrage at the hotels and in the cars
than if he were destitute of both
Neither do these qualities protect DR.
Crum. who is as white in complexion
as the majority of Southern white
men.
Mr.. Curtis theory leads to the con
clusion that the Afro-American should
without protest accept degraded po
sition and that is just what education
disuualifies him to do. Education
makes men, not hunkies.

The man behind the gun is just
the man the country needs in time

in his "pants" pocket is just the
man the country most needs to get
rid of in time of peace.
The man with the gun is the man
for whom crime is easy. Crime
ought not to be made easy. 1t
ought to be made hard. A com
munity that deliberately lets crime
be made easy is stupid commun-
ity.
None know this better than the
practical men who spend their days
in endeavoring to control crime
the efficient police commanders and
the earnest and the able prosecnt-
ing attorneys.
Men like Jerome and Folk and
like Police Commissioner McAdoo
of New York have urged that the
carrying of concealed weapons be
made punishable by a Jail sentence
and long sentence at that-slX
months or year. They are not
idealists. They have hard common
sense Chicago Record.
