with the Negro race. They never
grow whittier and winter so as to
pass over the line impercepably
into the white race. Where they
become winter it is brought about
by an additional infusion of So
called white blood. The scientific
theory of ''reversion to the origi-
nal type" has some difficulties TO
solve in this enigma. What was
the original type? They started
half and half. Why do they in

This classification includes Negro

1t is pertinent to ask at this juno

1t lies upon the surface that
there is no such race as THE col

is minor physiological term of
differentiation and not philosop-

From its original meaing a swarthy

such an epithet would not consign
any one of these children of the

as THE Negro Race" Further,

that not more than twenty per

Originally, the term American"
correlated with the terms "Europ-
cans" "Asian," African" Aus
tralian." and referred simply to
nativity or geographical location.
Used in this connection, it was ap-
plicable to South America and
North America, including Canada.
But on account of the aggressive
character of the civilization devel-
oped in the United States and be-
cause OF its superiority to that of
all other people on the Western
Continents, and because of the
predominating Saxon blood. it now
refers exclusively to that country

him with the rights and privileges

upon the race idea. The late de-

come useful and valuable factors

Il speak to you tonight as a
woman and a mother. There is "a

of her, and rightly, too. Among
the women of our race we have

who are intelligent. We have

an explanation of this situation.
1t is manifest from these and other
considerations that the term Ne
gro is an important one and no
classification of the descendants of
the Negroes can scientifically be
made that discards the term.
The literary sweep of the term
supports the contention of the
appropriateness of the term In
French. Portuguese, Spanish, Lat
in, italian and English it means
Black" In the latter evolution
of the race and scientific research
es among races. while it retained
its meaning referring to color, it
was applied to a family of the hu-
man race of similar marks and
characteristics.
In the strict philogical sense,
there may be Negro-Jews, and Ne
gro-Indians, meaning thereby
dark or black Jews or dark or
black Indians. "A tribe of Jews
is described, says Brace, by Mr.
Tristram living in the Oasis of
Waregla about % degrees n. lati-
tude who were as black as Ne
groes." Here the final word Ne
gro" has an chronological as we'll as
pathological meaning. These Jews
are simply black African Jews;
african because native to Africa,
and Negro" because black.
\
Finally, this brings us to the
heart of this discussion, viz: our
most fitting race designation is
Negro" On broad scale, the
Negro race is regarded as compre-
hending the native inhabitants of
the Soudan, and nearly all of the
natives in the region of South AT

in the isles of the sea. South Amer

ly mixed and progressive element
in the United States.
Many have sought to show that
this term is an opprobrious epithet
signifying inferiority as well as
suggestive of a period of numilia-
ton. The suggestion Of humilia-
ticn is well-taked, but this does
not destroy its appropriateness SIS
term for designating large
part of humanity. The appended

idea of inferiority smacks of ante

or social output is nothing more
than the prejudicial deliverances

norance, and such deliverances,
though ancient, are without the
adjunct of intelligence.
This word, like the word "Black"
is no more interchangeable with
'Inferiority" than is the word

with "Superiority" The word

49, ANn RrAsoNAnLE- !.

One Of the important changes to be
made in the rate bill by the senate
will be striking out the words "and
fairly remunerative" from the provis-
ion which makes It the duty OF the
Interstate Commerce commission Ito
determine and prescribe what will, in
it's Judgment. be the just and reason
able and fairly remunerative rate"
The change removes a doubt widely
entertained among advocates OF rate
control as to the effect OF the bill in
the form in which It came from the
house. For the cancelled phrase
naturally suggests the refinements as
to "remunerative" or compensation"
rates which some of the inferior fed
eral courts have INDUCED in during a
long series OF years, especially with
reference to the earlier statutes OF the
several states for regulating and con-
trolling railroad charges. Not few
of these state rate statutes we're an
nulled or suspended in the course of
the old dilatory court procedure on
the score that they deprived the car
rier companies of a fairly remuner-
alive" return for their services, back
of which. too, was the assumption in
some cases of total stock and bonds,
without sufficient regard to the true
investment or value of the property
as a basis of computing returns.
The requirement that rates be just
and reasonable has a more settled
legal sense, for those are the terms
that have been customarily and tech
nically employed in the common law.
Unless the words fairly remunera-
tive" are mere surplusage, which alone
would warrant erasure, they could be
potent only for advantage to the cor
poration interest in litigation. They
might at least serve to prolong con-
troversy.
Back of all remains the unacceptable
fact that the true value of the carrier
properties must ultimately be got at
as basis of rates. Arbitrary capital
ization at two or three times that
value is obviously not "a Just and
reasonable" basis for rates, but ex-
cessive and extortionate on the rate
paying public.

conditions. forced upon the opposition
TO rate control, are comprehended
within the agreement with which ALI
sons name is associated now made
definite and sure to be incorporated IN
the law. Beyond that, the friends Of
the measure have gone on in their ef-
fort to add such features as control OF
oil pipe lines, prohibition OF free
passes and stopping common carriers
from continuing In competition as
shippers or producers of coal and
other commodities.
That the purpose of sensational
newspaper organs TO deceive and
prejudice the public was deliberate is
demonstrated by the fact that they are
persisting and becoming even more
reckless in the very face Of the de-
veloped truth. It is a calculated at
tempt to mislead the ignorant, for by
no possibility could men of ordinary
intelligence be thus deceived, and It
discloses the opposition tactics to be
employed in the political contest this
year. It necessarily involves indis-
criminate arraignment of President
Roosevelt and assault upon his hon
