Nearly FIVE months ago our Ne

They have been walking every

child who could possibly do so have
avoided the cars and refused to nav

In the Jim Crow corner" They
nave been doing this not because OF
| any grievances against the street
car company because e has always
been kind and considerato 10 IT'S
colored patrons but because they
believe there was no CRYING neces-
sity for the law. that 10 was enacted
simply 90 humiliate them. and that
Tor one race 10 legislate against a.
mother is class legislation and is
wrong tn principle. The white race
has no more right 90 legislate a.
gainst the black race than the rich
against the poor, capital against la
Dor
We admit that many of our poo-
pie are IN hammered and boisterous
but there is no race under the sun
that is free from this class OF cattle
Inere should be a law not TO allow
them on car but &c should also
apply 10 the same class OF white
ruflans.
We do not believe that the intelli-
gent and well-behaved white man

ment and az the same time we con-
tend that the respectable law-abid-

account Of the hoOdlums OF his race.
Another thing, il the great white
race was put in a compartment by
itself and the Syrians, Mexicans. Ne

showed on into a Jim-crow corner
the law would not be so offensive
To single the poor Negro out and
put him beneath all others Is more
than we can stand.
The law seems TO say: The most
cultivated and refined, the best men
and women of the black race are
not as good as the lowest, the most
Ignorant, the most licentious dirty
and filthy vagabonds among the Syr-
ians, the Mexicans and other races
who do not equal the Negro in
thriftiness, intelligence and proper
" owning. When we consider these
Things no wonder the Negroes are
buying horses and buggies and au-
uomobiles and are paying 10 cent
per ride in colOred hacks rather
than pay 5 cent fare in Jim crow
cars.

CANCER-CAN 1T BE CURED?
An Account of Some Experiments
With Trypsin, and a Theory OF
Cancer Growth and Origin.

With its usual promptness in
printing the first authentic AMI re-
liable accounts OF all important dis
coveries In the field OF medicine,
McClure's offers it's readers in is
August number an extremely Azgaas
esting article "Cancer-Can IL ne
Cureu?" by c. W. Saleeby, NJ. D..
F. r. S. (Edin.) which gives an ac-
count OF experiments made by DR..
John Beard In the treatment OF that
disease by Trypsin; experiments
that seemed to prove that the active
agent OF the pancreas will destroy
the malignant cancer cells and
bring about an absolute cure. The
theories OF embryology developed
by DR.. Beard, which led TO the dis
covery Of the curative agent, are
given in full by the author and form
an exceedingly interesting part of
the article.
Briefly. according to DR.. Boards
theory, a cancer develops from cells
remaining in the body from an as
exual stage of the embryo: cells
which should have been degenera-
ted and absorbed or digested by the
fluids OF the pancreas, an organ
which develops Just after the asex-
Gal stage. These are really germ
cells that might have developed In
