18th AMENDMENT LIVES.

The Washington Post has an article
which seems to be funeral discourse
over the 18th Amendment, deceased.
IN order to get away with said amend
ment, 1t finds it necessary to destroy
the foundation upon which it was erect
ed, and hikes back to the Declaration
OF Independence 1t points out the
TACT discovered by Rufus Choate some
years ago that said document is a mere
mass OF "glittering generalities," true
neither at this nor any other time. 1t
asserts that it is not true that all men
are created equal, and equally false thar
they have any inalienable rights. 1t
concludes thus: only one great effort
has been made in this country to es-
taDllsh political equality. 1t was the
Republican, not the Democratic, party
which made that attempt. 1t is en-
bodied in the fifteenth amendment to
the Constitution. But it failed utterly
because it sought to accomplish the
impossible. And, although if still
stands in the text of the Constitution.
1t is absolutely dead-slain by public
sentiment, the power, which. in the
long run, rules in this republics
The 18th Amendment does not even
attempt to extend the right of suffrage.
IL simply prohibits state from abrid-
slng 1t on account of race, color or
previous condition of servitude. 1t is
not absolutely dead; for no state has
dared to pass law directly contrayen-
Ing It's provisions. No state has a

1t is consoIing to notice the fact that
the Afro-American is very much like
other people, and that when a fact is
mentioned to his discredit, a fair in
vestlgation will show that the same is
true of white people AS an instance
great deal has been said of the death
rate OF the Afro-American population,
and it has been intimated that that
rate is increasing. But the inyestiga-
tons made by the Atlanta Conference
show that such is not the case in any
part OF this country But even if it
were the case, how does it compare
with that of the white race? From an
article in the Washington Times. we
clip the following: There is in ses-
sion at Caxton Hall, Westminster. a
convention, called by the mayor of
England's most socialistic city, Hud-
dersfield, to consider the tremendous
mortality among children in Great
Britain. The birth rate is falling. the
average age at marriage is steadily in
creasing, and the marriage rate is
growing less. But this is not the
worst, in the first year after they
come into the world about one-seventh
of the babies de-
So IN the matter of the death rate,
the Afro-American is like the white
man in England and attempts to turn
that matter to discredit are simply
ridiculous.

THE AFRo-AMERIcAN AND THE
Null

From recent article now going the
rounds, we clip the following: "In
point of intelligence and also in mus
cular strength and endurance the mule
excels the horse. He is not so ner-
vous or high strung. He has a saner
instinct Of .self-preservation. His vi
tally is greater. He can stand more
hardships, is surer footed, and when
properly trained is steadier and more
reliable in work harness.
TO Charles Darwin the mule always
appeared "a surprising creature y
That a hybrid" he said, SHOULD DOS
sess more intelligence memory, OBJ
stinacy, social affection and power of
muscular endurance than either of it's
parents seems to indicate that art
has administered nature It is well
known that the brain of the mule is
heavier than that of the horse.''
But if we apply the same theory to
the animal man, we should meet with
sturdy opposition. A great deal has
been said in reference to alspurity,
and in this country, at least, il is &C.
copied as a demonstrated principle.

Much talk has been occasioned by
the visit of Mr.. Harry Shepherd to his
nome city where he has been for two
weeks, and where for a quarter of a
century he conducted one of the most
successful Photographic businesses
ever operated in the city, where the
dollar Of the millionaire had no more
purchasing power than that of the
poor man.
Gossips have it that the Shepherd
banner will again float in the ,breezes
OF the SANITY City. The fact is that
Tor over a year negotiations have been
going on for the establishment of one
OF the most gigantic proprietary medi-
cine concerns in the northwest and
which is already Incorporated under
the laws of Minnesota for 100000.
I 1t is gratifying to many of the older
settlers among us to recall the fight
made by the late ]. K. Hilyard, Shep-
herd and two other men, one now
prominent Office holder at Washington
against the attempt of the Old Peoples
Theatre to discriminate against Afro
Americans. These men without any
blow OF trumpets, without going into
the courts spent their time and money
and with the assistance and influence
OF some of st. Pauls best citizens stop
ped the move and prevented the dis
elimination. Shepherds iberality in
many cases proved very much to his
detriment but today should he again

THE DISTRICT DEATH RATE,

A recent report of the Health De.
partment of the District of Columbia
makes the following statements s.The
mortality of the current week shows =
large number of the colored population
to have died, there being 80 deaths of
this race as against So during last
week. These recent deaths represent
death rate of AL per 1000. During
the same week of 1905 the colored
death rate was 35.4 The total deaths
of the white population during the
week just ended was 81, which repre-
sent death rate per 900 sof 2O.3,
against 1873 during the same week of
1905. The total number of deaths this
week was 174, as compared with 1872
during the same week of last year.
The total death rate for the current
week was 27.0 During last week the
rates were, white, 16.7; colored, 3D.,
and total 21.0"
The. explanation for the excessive
death-rate among the Afro Americans
is to be found in the poverty which
exists among the race. This poverty

1t is rather a significant fact that
just at the time when Secretary Root
is traversing South America for the
purpose of cultivating friendly rela.
lions down there, commencement is
setting in in Mexico There was a
time when Mexico was extremely
anxious to attract immigration from
the United States. But she seems
now, to be actuated by just the oppo.
site spirit, according to the following
statement: president Diaz of Mexico
has called a conference of the cover.
nors of the various provinces of the
country to consider the possibility OF
an anti-foreign uprising on Sept.
Mexican independence day.
Back of the agitation seems to be
an organization of Mexican laborers
who desire to have Americans, English
men, <Frenchmen, and Germans re
moved from high positions in the rail
road, mining and smelling business

have the familiar nativist sound I'VE
