THE REFORMER.

One of the most stupendOus frauds of
the present day is the so-called politi-
cal refOrmer as shown by recent
events in Pennsylvania. In that state
the woods were full of so-called reform
parties, composed of men whose they
said proposed to make all crooked
things straight if the dear people
would only put them in Office. These
pseudo reformers were specially elo-
Guent in charging that Quay and Pen
rose had juggled with public funds
lying in the banks. But these heated
assertions had scarcely grown cold
when people were confronted with the
fact that $175,O00 belonging to the
State and 100000 belonging to the
city were deposited in the Real Estate
Trust Safe. and this Trust Company
was controlled by men prominent in
both sO-called reform organizations.
This is rather conspicuous instance
Of whole lot of just such reformers
as are plentiful all over the country;
among whom we have no hesitation in
including the much-lauded William
Jennings Bryan. Mr.. Bryan is a hero
who never gained battle, a states
man who never instituted successful
policy, mixture of "bigotry' and
bumptiousness. No one knows whether
he is a Democrat, Populist or Socialist.
We are indeed sorry to observe the
fact that there is no probability of his
ever becoming candidate for the
Presidency-he would be so easy to
beat that there would be no fun in
the election.

THE ATLANTA MASSACRE.

The massacre of Afro-Americans at
Atlanta Saturday night was the most
horrible that has ever occurred in
this country and rivals in atrocity the
massacres of the Jews at Kischnieff,
Bialystok and Siedlce
For hours, with the apparent conni-
vance OF the police, who were evident
ly in sympathy with the mob, the
slaughter continued and many men and
women were killed for no reason ex-
cept that their skins were black
The cause Of the outbreak can be
traced directly to the rabid utterances
of the Atlanta News which has preach
ed race antagonism in every issue
since it's inception and recently offered
reward Of $1,000 for the lynching of
negro charged with crime. The edi-
tor of the News is member of Govern
or TerrilPs staff should be tried for
murder, convicted and hanged, for he
is the real murderer-the man who in
cited the mob
Many Of the newspapers dignified
the outbreak by calling it a race war;
when as matter of fact it was moth
ing but bloody massacre Of innocent
Afro-Americans by white Southern
Christians.(?)

AN ARKANSAS ASSAULT. (D


In connection with the subject of
lynching, the case of the Afro-Ameri-
can, Govan Beard. deserves special at
tention. The case ocrurred in Arkan-
sas and the salient facts are as fol-
lows: Beard was sentenced to death
upon the evidence of Mrs. Hartley, the
alleged victim Of a criminal assault
made by him upon her. Subsequently,
the woman, in the presence of many
respectable. white witnesses, asserted
that her evidence was untrue, and that
Beard was not guilty. 1t also became
known that the woman was of the vi
lest character, and had been deserted
by two living husbands. She also
confessed that she had visited an Afro
American bawdy-house, for the pur-
pose Of seeing Beard and obtaining
money from him. At later date. she
was sentenced to the rocktpile by the
authorities of Ft. Smith. Many promi-
nent citizens of Arkansas used every
effort to induce Gov. Jeff Davis to
grant Beard a reprieve, but Gov. Davis
positively refused to interfere in. any
way. However, Boards attorney sue
ceeded in securing the intervention of
the United States Supreme Court, and
in thus delaying the execution of the
sentence; and so the matter stands
The evidence points to the conclusion
that illicit relations had previously ex-
listed between the parties, and that
the woman after being thrown off by
Beard, determined upon revenge and

Senator Tillman's mission upon
earth seems to be divided into three
distinct departments: list, to bullyrag
the Afro-American; End, to turn South
Carolina into a gin-mill, and Srd, to
blackguard the newspapers. For all
of these functions he is pre-eminently
fitted: and is certain kind of success.
He did not make much of an out in his
attempt to magnify the morris Incl
dent" on account of his manifestation
of prejudice and manifest absurdity
But he may be more successful in
pitchforking compulsory education, to
which he is now devoting his attention
The Appeal., 1906-09-29

We have been treated, .ad nauseam,
with evidences of the moral degenera-
ton of the American people; and now
comes Prof. Tyler of Amherst College
and asserts that: Physical degenera-
ton is noticeable now in the children
Of the business and professional men:
All of which is very likely; as the two
kinds of degeneration are close connec-
ted. A late item of news is that Sena-
tor Lodges private secretary has been
sent to Jail for embezzling political
contributions. 1t is easy to come to
the conclusion that man in the con-
dition Of that private secretary, in
constant danger of exposure, is fit
subject for physical degeneration, and
might transmit that condition to his
offspring. Such life as was led by
young Mr. Thaw would, undoubtedly,
trend towards physical degeneration.

PHARMACEUTlc COLLEGE

of Howard university, Washington
D. C.
The Pharmaceutic College occupies
a unique position in supplying the de-
mands for first-class, pharmacists. The
advantages offered students are un-
eGualled. Students are thoroughly
drilled in chemical, pharmaceutical
and archaeological laboratories, and
are given practical experience in COM
pounding and dispensing drugs and
chemicals in the Dispensary of Freed
mems Hospital.
The development of the South has
created a demand for Afro-Amerfcan
pharmacists much greater. than the
supply. The fact that white druggists
do not care for the patronage of the
Afrc-American people has caused en-
terpnsing Afro-Americans to open
drug stores of their own. The
field is not overcrowded and there are
dozens of cities begging for druggists
whose demands cannot be supplied
In number of which cities, compan-
les are formed, waiting for a good
pharmacist to come and open drug
store without any cost whatever to
himself. To young men desiring a pro.
fessional career, pharmacy offers flat
tering inducements

brought the charge against him for
which he was sentenced to death.
1t is easy to infer that this is not an
isolated case, and that many cases of
lynching have been brought about by
just such circumstances. 1t is the
fashion to deny that illicit relations
between white women and Afro-Ameri-
can men ever exist, especially in the
South; but it is not easy to prove any
such assertion. No one supposes that
racial prejudice prevents illicit rela-
tions between white men and Afro
American women, and it is certain that
many such cases as that of Govan
Beard do occur.

AFRO-AMERICAN COUNCIL.
Call for Meeting at New York City
October 9, 10, II, 1906.

To the members of the National Afro
American Council, Delegates from
Local Councils and Affiliated Organi-

10th, at Mount Olivet Church, Fifty
third Street, between Sixth and
Seventh; on Thursday, October 18th, at
Mother Zion, on Eighty-ninth Street,
between Amsterdam and Columbus
Avenue.
In view of the legislation against us
as citizens, not only against our civil
rights but against our suffrage, no
one should question the necessity for
an organization of this character, and
every Afro-American, without regard
to his views on other subjects, should
be willing to unite in an organized ef-
fort to improve these conditions
The hostility upon the part of the
enemies of the race has been so per-
sistent' that many of our friends have
become timid and Indifferent in our
defense. 1t is with the view of COM
batting this opposition of our enemies,
Strengthening the hands of our friends.

of all discriminat tions against the race
