Has He Changed?

At a meeting of the delegates TO
the New York convention of the
African Methodist Church Tuesday
one # the speakers had this 10 say:
The President has changed wonder
fully within the last two or thee years
in his attitude on the race question. He
Is not nov taking the fearless stand
that he once took for the race % which
the negro soldiers who saved his life at
San Juan are a part He can appeal in
behalf Of the Jews, the Cubans, and the
FilipinOs. and talk of the Panama canal
and the trust capitalists but nothing is
heard of the lynchlng. burning and
murder of negroes The time is here
when the negro must speak out If he
does not demand his rights he should
have none.
But what basis have the negro
orators for such statement as
that? Probably the fact that the
President orders the colored troops
back TO Brownsville, Tex, 10 be
tried because OF their share in the
fight there between themselves and
civilians. But that is a flimsy reason
for attacking man so notably fond
of fair play as Mr.. Roosevelt.
If there is any reason TO believe
that the negro soldiers provoked
trouble or used undue violence at
Brownsville, they should at least be
examined in the town where the
outbreak occurred. 1t is not draw
ing the oolor-line TO contend for JUS
tice in all its aspects.

Lively SuffragetteS.

King Edward was wise beyond his
own knowledge when he decided to
cut the opening of parliament and
go off 10 the Newmarket races for
"a little royal recreation. To be
sure, his touring car knocked down
a man as it was leaving town. but
that was mere pleasurable Incl
dent compared with what he might
have experienced had he presented
himself 20 his lawmakers and be-
come entangled with the little army
of 'suffragettes" that swarmed the
house of parliament.
Certainly England never witnessed
such a scene before, if we are 10 be-
lieve the reports of the demonstra-
ton. The women stormed the house
of commons like Infatuated ANA
IONS, fought the police, chung to the
furnishings when threatened with
expulsion. and finally had TO be
dragged, squirming, yelling, and
disheveled into the yard, where
they continued TO shout their de-
mand for a vote.
In so far as strenuous missionary
work goes, these British matrons
have our American women beaten
by many degrees. Taking the com
plant later, they seem to have it
harder. We are not informed as to
the standing OF these ferocious

After BAckSliderS.

We do not hear so much about
''backsliders" from the religious life
as we used in the days of our
fathers, when REVEALS and red-hot
campmeetings kept the word to the
fore and tried 70 get the back
sliders" there. But they exist, since
weak human nature is about the
same at all epochs. Indeed, there is
such a number of them that a
church federation has been formed
up in New England for the express
purpose of getting after the seced-
ers and by various methods of per-
suasion inducing them TO return TO
the fold
Like declarations have been
founded in Worcester, Providence,
and numerous other places" said
the Rev Frank H. Padelford, pastor
of the Washington Street Baptist
Church, of Lynn, Mass, and chair
man of the committee at the head
of the new movement. The pur-
pose is to divide the city into par
ishes, giving each Protestant church
a district within which it can be
held responsible for the religious
welfare of the people. The churches
viii make a canvass through the
city and the work Will be based on
the returns"
As a general proposition, back
sliders are more difficult to handle
than the consistently Ungodly. They
resent the inference that they have
become less good than formerly,
and they have a varied stock of pet
arguments 10 advance as TO the i'm
propriety of returning to church
life after once leaving it. Some of
them will be refractory and imperti-
nent, and the work of the men and
women delegated 10 search for
them Will not be altogether pleas
ant. However, the JOY in heaven
over the return of even one lost
sheep is encouragement enough TO
the churches 70 reclaim their own.
