State. The Federal grand jury in
session, received strong charge
today from Judge Walter Evans.
based upon the discovery of the
unlawful practice by Dictrict At
torney Hill, Judge Evans said:
"The district attorney informs me
that for some time he has been in
vestigating peonage cases in this
district, and from what he says |
am persuaded that a most remark
able state of affairs exists. The
thirteenth amendment of the con-
stitution of the United States
guarantees liberty to every man,

laws have been enacted. One of
them provides a penalty for any

Be Careful What You Say.

In speaking of a persons faults
Pray don't forget your own.
Remember those with homes of glass,
Should seldom throw a stone.
If we have nothing else to do
Than talk of those who sin,
1t is better to begin at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to Judge a man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults and who have notr
The old as well as young;
Perhaps we may for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of better plan,
And find it works full well,
To try my own defscts to cure,
Ere others faults tell;
And though l sometimes hope to be
No worse than some l know,
My own short comings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all when we begin
To slander friend or foe;
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know.
Remember curses sometimes like
Our chicken roost at home:
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none of our own.

fact that the prisons of London
were drained to furnish population
for many of the Southern states;
and to find wives for these GRIMM
al, wretches convicted of the most
fragrant crimes, the bawdy houses
of London were emptied of prosti-
tutes. From such a disgraceful
origin sprang a vast number of
those white men who in the South
to-day rant most fiercely about the
"divine Anglo Saxon
This is mere aside, however
Mr.. Humphreys real thesis is that
the only solution Of the race prob
lem is the disfranchisement of the
black man.
1t may be shocking to some to
hear a congressman of the United
States so frankly advocate a viola
ton of the fifteenth amendment of
the United States constitution.
Mr. Humphrey thinks, however,
that he has escaped this offense
with great ingeniou sness. The
letter of the fifteenth amendment,
boasts he, has not been outraged.
The black man has not been, os-
tensibly, disfranchised because he
is black, but because he cannot
read the constitution, does not pay
his taxes. and does not register.
On the other hand Mr.. Humphrey
confesses, with disreputable can.
dor, that these qualifications were
adopted with the definite purpose
of DISTINGUISHING the black man
because he is black. Mr.. Hum
phrey's conscience is no doubt
Quilted by the reflection that he
has violated only the spirit, but
not the letter, of the law he has
sworn to uphold.
A fatal defect of these schemes
of disfranchisement is that they
are in their nature temporary
By relying on the Afro Americans
procrastination, ignorance and
timidity, Mr.. Humphrey and his
kind can now control the govern
ment in the Yazoo Delta district,
without any violent outrage upon
the law. But what will they do
when the Afro-American achieves,
as he is sure to achieve, enterprise
intelligence and spirit? We fear
that when this occurs Mr.. Hum
phey will be even less willing to
share the government with black
men than he now is. At present
Mr.. Humphrey would be almost
certain, on account of his superior
education and experience, to have
a powerful voice in his state affairs
if Afro Americans were admitted
to the suffrage. But will he be
nearly SO certain of power when
numerous Afro Americans are his
equals in learning, experience and

"A NEGRO'S CHANCE" :"
R. L. Stokes in New York Age, Replies Article by
Congressman B. G. Humphrey of Mississippi,
on "a Negroes Chance" which Appeared
in Saturday Evening Post.

An article on ga Negroes
Chance" contriL uted a few weeks
ego to the Saturday Evening Post
by Congressman B. G.. Humphrey,
of the Third Mississippi district,
is unique in that it entirely lacks
the rancor and passion usually
manifested in the writings of
Southern men on the race problem.
The mere amenity of this article
would greatly encourage us, did
we not suspect it due to the good
nature of triumph rather than to
the sympathy of philanthrophy.
| We fear that Mr.. Humphreys
smile would be on the other side
of his face if those sharp schemes,
of which he is so proud, for dis
franchising the Afro-American had
miscarried.
Mr.. Humphrey begins with the
conventional vaunting over the
history of the Anglo Saxon. We
admit, what we could not deny if
we would, that the Anglo Saxon's
history has been glorious. We
can even say that without the
Auglo Saxon civilization to-day
would have been materially chang
ed for the worse. But we must
not forget that the Anglo Saxon
was once far lower than the Afro
American now is. When the orig
inal Angles and Saxons conquered
Britain, they mixed with the ma
tive Briton. These Britons sub
mitted to the Romans. after war,
saws Gibbon, undertaken by the
most stupid, maintained by the
most dissolute, and terminated by
: the most timid of all the Roman
emperors." The conquerors con-
temptuously instructed the main
tainance of dominion of three le-
gions, or, including cavalry, artill-
cry and auxiliaries, about $4,000
men. The legionaries of Rome
looked with astonished disgust
upon the troops of bowling, naked
barbarians who prusued on foot
the wild deer through the British
forests. But worse was yet to
come. The conglomerate race of
Angles, Saxons, Danes and Britons
were crushed to the earth by the
Normans and reduced to slavery;
as badges of servitude they were
compelled to wear ignominious
brass collars, like dogs. The Nor
mans of that day was wont to ex-
claim with indignation do you
take me for Saxonw much as a
Southerner says to-day. "Do you
think I'm nigger!'
Although we admire the achieve
ments of the race loosely known
as the Anglo Saxon, we believe it
to be far from perfect, especially
in the South. 1t is notorious

ambition? We fear that Mr..
Humphrey if he still holds to his
opinion that the white man is di-
vinely appointed to rule, will be
sooner or later reduced to abandon
ing the Yazoo valley to the Afro
American, a thing which will hard
ly be done, or subduing him by
force, as in the merry days of the
Ku- Klux- -Klan. But how will Mr..
Humphrey elude violating the let
ter of the fifteenth amendment as
well as its spirit?
But disfranchisment being ac-
complished by legal means for an
illegal purpose, what of its effects?
Mr.. Humshrey claims that they
are so beneficial as to constitute
solution of the race problem. Ac-
cording to him, disfranchisement
has caused a certain number of
Afro Americans of the Zazoo val
ley to own homes and farms, to
become qualified doctors, lawyers,
pharmacists and artisans, to man
age stores and banks, and to es-
cape lynching. But that there ex-
lists a causal relation between dis
franchisement and these achieve
ments we most emphatically deny.
If Mr.. Humphreys contentious
were well founded we should, for
instance, invariably find the num-
Der of lynchings increasing where
ever the Afro-American is enfran-
chised. Such is, however, not the
case. In 1903 Mississippi, Mr..
Humphreys own state, with an
Afro American population of 9O7,
63O, led all the states in the Uuion
in lynchings, Is persons having
met death there from this cause.
In Texas, Florida, Kentucky and
Tennessee, with an American
population of 1,616, 4O1, only 13
persons were lynched during the
same time. In Mississippi the
revised constitution has not vet
been introduced. In Mississippi
in 1900, 17,11S Afro-Americans
owned their own homes. In Texas
which has only two-thirds of Miss
issippi's Afro-American population
23,206 Afro-American families
owned their homes in 1900. In
1900, 21,973 Afro own
ed farms in Mississippi. In Texas
and Kentucky, with combined
Afro-American population not
quite equal to that of Mississippi,
25,541 Afro o-Americans were farm
owners. But why pile up statis-
tics? Those already cited, we be-
lieve, fatally disable Mr.. Humph-
rey's opinions. AS fatal to them
also is plain common sense, which
tell us that il is impossible for
men, oppressed and intimidated,
to equal the achievements of men
who are free and spirited.

Old Friends Die Together.

Two lifelong friends had one of their
girlish wishes come true at life's end.
Mrs. NJ. Underhill Of Osseo, Mich, had
been visiting her former schoolmate and
"chum," Mrs. j. Hunt, at Calumet Park,
near Hammond, Ind. Shortly after her
arrival at Mrs. Hunts Mrs. Underhill
became i'll, and physicians decided to op-
crate on her The operation, which took
place last week, proved fatal, and the
woman rallied only long enough to bid
her friend goodbye. The shock of the
death of her old school friend was too
much for Mrs. Hunt, and she was
stricken with heart failure shortly aft
erward, dying few hours later. The
two bodies were shipped to Osseo, Mich,
for burial. When the two, wom-
en- were schoolgirls together they are
said to have expressed the wish to die
together. neither caring to live after the
others death.
