A NEGROS REPLY

Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard
University, Washington, d. G., re-
plies in an open letter to white
man as follows:
Your fundamental thesis is that
mo amount of education of any
kiud, industrial, classical or reli-
gious, can make a Negro white
man or bridge the chasm of the
centuries which separates him
from the white man in the evolu-
ton of human history" This
doctrine is as old as human op-
preston. Calhoun made it the
arch stone in the defense of Negro
slavery-and lost.
This is but a recrudescence of
the doctrine which was exploited
and exploded during the ante
slavery struggle. Do you recall
the school of slavery scientists
who demonstrated beyond doubt
that the Negroes skull was too
thick to comprehend the substance
of Aryan knowledge? Have you
not read in the discrdited scienti-
fic books of that period with what
triumphant acclaim it was shown
that the Negroes shape and size of
skull, facial angle. and cephalic
confguration rendered him forever
impervious to the white mans CIV
ilization?
But all enlightened minds are
now as ashamed of that doctrine
as they are of the one-time doc
trine that the Negro had no soul.
We become aware of mind through
its manifestations. Within forty
years of only partial opportunity,
while playing as it were in the
backyard of civilization, the Amer
lean Negro has cut down his illit-
eracy by over 80 per cent; has
produced a professional class some
fifty thousand strong, including
ministers, teachers, doctors, law
yers, editors, authors, architects,
engineers, and all higher lines of
listed pursuits in which white men
are engaged.
That Negroes in the average are
not equal in developed capacity to
the white race, is a proposition
which it would be as simple to af-
firm as it is silly to deny. The
Negro represents a backward race
which has not yet taken COM
manding part in the progressive
movement of the world. In the
great cosmic scheme of things,
some races reach the limelight of
civilization ahead of others. But
that temporary forwardness does
not argue inherent superiority is
as evident as any fact of history.

Washington, D. C.-The COM
plete records of rifle, pistol and
carbine firing of the United States
Army for 1905, just published,
show Abraham Hill, colored, a
Sergeant in the Twenty-fourth In
fantry, Department of Dakota, to
be the best shot in the army. The
percentage of possible shots made
by him on slow fire, time fire and
skirmish fire was S6.33.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-06-30

An unfriendly environment may
hinder and impede the one, while
fortunate circumstances may quick
en- and spur the other. Relative
superiority is only a transient
phase of human development.

Mayor Mcconnell of Franklin,
Pa, appointed an Afro-American
to the police force as soon as he
was sworn in but the council re.
fused to confirm his appointment.
The mayor announced that his ap-
pointee woud serve any way, it he
had to appoint him from month to
month, but the council says no
provision will be made for his sal
ary.

A Negro was shot and killed at
Juvett, Texas, last week by po-
liceman for beating his way on a
freight train. He had been work
ing for the railroad company and
was on his way to his home at
Oakland, Tex. No arrest. 1t is
no more to kill a Negro than a
chicken or rabbit.

SALISBURY
DISASTER DUE
To HIGH SPEED

London, Sept. Successive speed caus-
Ing the engine to overturn il has been de.
clded by the board OF trade inspectors,
caused the Salisbury disaster of July /
last. I'm which upward Of score OF Amer
leans on their way from Plymouth to
London lost their lives
In the report issued today Mai Prin-
gle the representative OF the board OF
trade who had charge Of the investiga
ton. says that all the evidence points To
the fact that the speed was at least twice
as great as authorized by the company
and possibly IL was as much as 20 miles
per hour.
Maj. Pringle found no evidence in sup.
port Of the allegation that Americans or
any one else were in the habit OF tip
ping the engineers OF steamboat expresses
In order TO encourage them TO run trains
at excessive speed.
The report says that this is the only
known case I'm the United Kingdom where
the overturning OF an engine was caused
by excessive speed.
