NEGRO TEACHER IS
ASKED TO LEAVE
HE RECENTLY SAID HE HOPED
NEGRO WOMEN WOULD SOON
BRING WHITE WOMEN TO THE
WASH TUB.

Columbia, S. c., September 3-Thomas
II. Amos, colored, president of HARRISON
college, a coeducational institution for me-
groes at Abbeville, S. c., supported by
the Northern Presbyterian church, was
waited upon recently by citizens of Abbe-
vile and requested to leave the town on
account of language used in his last COM
meneement address. He said the negro
women had brought white women to the
kitchens and hoped that they would soon
bring them to the wash tub.
Amos telegraphed from Baltimore today
that one of the directors would soon ar
rive at Abbeville to take charge of the
institution.
Ex-Speaker of the House, Frank b.
Gary, a resident of Abbeville is authority
for the above statement.

boats sent to the Asiatic steamer which
is ashore on dangerous rock near the
Island of Molene between the main land
and the Island of Ouessant have been un-
able to approach her, owning to the thick

ARKANSAS POLLS
VERY LIGHT VOTE
LITTLE, DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
FOR GOVERNOR, WILL HAVE 5o,-
600 MAJORlTY-PoLL TAX PRO-
VISION RlGlDLY ENFORCED.

Little Rock, Ark, September BIN the
biennial election in Arkansas today for
state and county officers partial returns
received by the Arkansas Gazette tonight
indicate that Congress John s. Little, DEM
ocratic nominee for governor, will have
a majority of fully $4,000 over John l.
Worthington, republican. The vote for
John G. Adams, prohibitionist, nominee
for governor, may not exceed 5000, and
that for Dan Hogan, socialist, will prob
ably reach 1000. Estimates tonight are
that of the 1856 members of the senate
and house at least 125 will be democrats.
The democratic state nominees, other
than for governor had no opposition.
Adviees from the counties where there
is large negro population state that but
few negroes went to the polls to vote. In
jefferson county. e. w. Speer. one of the
negroes nominated for representative, was
not allowed to vote because he had not
paid his poll tax. In Little Rock no less
than 300 negroes voted, but each had paid
the poll tax. Very generally the election
Judges throughout the state required the
exhibition of evidence that the voters
had paid their poll tax. There had been
question raised as to the validity of the
poll tax constitutional amendment, but
as rule the amendment is Valid having
never been passed upon directly by the
supreme court In cases where delinquents
attempted to vote they ran the risk of
having to pay not only the tax of ST. but
penalties aggregating $S as well. The en-
forcement of the poll tax requirement is
believed to have caused the light vote in
many counties, although rain in some To-
calities prevented a large turn out.
The count is proceedingly slowly in the
large counties owing to the lengthy ticket
and will not be concluded in some before
tomorrow.
Indications are that the constitutional
amendment increasing the school tax levy
from mills to 10 mills received 10 per
cent of the total vote cast.

Evans Is Pleased.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, September S-As
Rear Admiral Evans yesterday surveyed
from the bridge of his flagship, the Maine,
the forty-hve vessels of his command,
stretching more than three miles down
the sound in three columns, he looked
an admiration that he refused to ex
press to the newspaper men who visited

viewed by the President today, had got

He was enthusiastic but not boastful.
While he recognized the splendor of the
fleet. he declared that 1t was not as big
as some that a few other great powers
had assembled in waters of the old world.

The President had enthusiastic comments
on the occasion for each. When he saw
the veteran democratic member of the
house naval committee, General Meyer of
Louisiana, he calculated:
General, have you inspected the battle
ship Louisiana YETI?
"She is the finest of the lot" responded
General Meyer.
Yes" replied the President, the Louis

Archie Roosevelt left Sycamore Hill at
o'clock this morning to go aboard the

in Vienna and other European money
centers would have been present at
Schiff's denunciation Of bankers who
loaned money to the enemy of humanity,
progress and the Jews, who with their
funds strengthened Russian despotism
and hypocrisy. Let us hope that some
European Jewish bankers who play the
role Of Jews, at last on Rosh Ha-
shona and Yom Kippur in the syna
gogue, will heed the New York bankers
words and refrain from the commission
Of "a crime against humanity" If all
the Jewish bankers of the world would
act on this sentiment prosecutions against
the Jews in Russia would at last cease.
But, alas we doubt whether the Jewish
bankers will be influenced by the die
tates Of humanity. The 'Percentchen
have too great charm for them. And
their conscience? Well, ''In geld sachen
hoert die Gemuethlich keit auf'' Which
in this case might be paraphrased, "In
money matters conscience counts for
nothing.' Aside from this, when the
next massacre in Russia will take place,
these bankers will ease their conscience
by again sending money to the fund for
the bereft widows and orphans Of those
pogroms. And they will once more be-
some ''philanthropists "

EDITORIAL

In his speech at meeting introducing
DR.. Levin, a former member of the Rus
sian douma, Jacob Schiff said, among
other things:
Il have found that when the Russian
government does not want to do anything
for the Jews it promises that the douma
will do something. Why are these prom
ises made so often? l know, and [ will
tell YOU 1t is because the Russian gov
ernment wants money, and it thinks and
believes that it can appease the Jewish
bankers by promising that the douma
will give relief to the Jews in Russia.
81 say to you that the banker who will
to-day give the Russian government
money commits crime against human
ity. l have said to my friends in Europe
and my financial friends here, that if the
Russian ministry wants to get the reward
of Jews it must remove the pale of set
Element. Give the Jew the right to go
where he pleases in Russia and the Rus
sian question will be solved''

The Jewish outlook., 1906-12-28

1t all depends whose OK is gored. Year
in year out the Roman Catholic hier-
archy kept on dinning into the ears Of a
gullible public that the church, and es-
pecially the Roman-which is, after all,
a foreign power church, is the only
power which stands for law, order and
obedience to the state against the de-
structive forces of revolution, socialism
and anarchy What means anarchy? 1t
is Greek word and stands for disre-
spect for law. And now in France the
Roman hierarchy clergy, headed by the
Italian pope, cardinals and bishops,
breaches rebellion against the French
laws, which were enacted by a Roman
Catholic Parliament and Senate. Would
the laws Of France be obeyed by the Ro-
man Catholic priesthood as is done by the
Protestant and Jewish clergy there
would be no hardship at all. But the
Church Of Rome incites Frenchmen to
anarchy, to disobedience and rebellion
against the laws. She is therefore an
archistic. Hence, she will get no SYM
pathy from law-obeying people Of what
ever country. She simply gets dose Of
her own medicine. Gas we SOW so shall
we reap" This is history. The Church
OF Rome, 1T seems, is only law abiding
and patriotic as it suits her interest. The
moment the laws do not please her she
breaches Anarchy! ''Ja Bauer, das list
halt ganz was anderes" +" In the Middle
Ages, when the Roman Church was all
powerful, she acted on the principles

lang 'er unsern willen thut'' And the

Emperor is all right, so long as he does
our will But she seems to forget that
we do not live in the Middle Ages. The
dignitaries Of the Roman Church, who
by long articles in the American press,
specializing on the ignorance of the
masses, try to deceive the readers by rep
resenting the rebellious priests of France
as poor, humble, prosecuted martyrs, con-
veniently forget to enlighten us on the
main and only issue. They shrewdly
omit to give plausible reason why the
Pope and his advisers openly advocate
Anarchy. They shrewdly conceal from
the readers of American papers the very
important fact, that the majority OF the
French clergy, even the bishops, were
not all in favor of the Anarchy ordered
by the Pope, the so-called representative
of the "Prince of Peace" They do not
pretend to know that the French people
and they ought to know best what is
going On-are not all on the side OF the
clerical anarchists, but on the side OF
the French government. And facts speak
louder than words. Not one of the pro-
phecies sent out from Rome were full
filed. The great revolution of the
faithful" +" which, according to the Vati-
can, was to break out in France two
weeks ago, as soon as the French govern
ment attempted to carry out the law of
separation of State and Church, did not
materialize, in spite Of the undeniable
fact that ninety per cent. of the French
population is composed of Roman Cath
olics. This is certain proof that the sep
aration of Church and State is popular
in France. Were this not the case how,
in God s name, would the passage of the
law by very large majority, have been
possible? The deputies of the French
Chamber of Deputies are Roman Cath
olics, elected by Roman Catholics. Again
two years ago the election Of deputies in
France was held on the clear cut issue
of separation Of State and Church. And
the result? In spite of the tremendous
electioneering Of eighty thousand priests
against such law, those deputies favor
ing the law were elected by the larges:
majorities ever given to candidates. If,
then, the Vatican and the American heir
archy are right in their claims, that
everybody in France who favors the sep
aration law is an enemy of religion, then
the very large majority of the French
people are enemies of religion. If this
be true, then the eighty thousand priests
and God knows how many nuns in
France have in all these years made of
the French people ''enemies of relig-
ion.' A surprising admission, indeed,
coming as it does from the Vatican in
Rome and the hierarchy of the United
