OF SPUDS
AND CRACKERS
FOR HONOLULU

Honolulu may eat crackers and po-
tatocs now to It's hearts content. The
famine Is broken. No longer need
there be an absence Of spuds on the
dinner table, and the dyspeptic who Is
condemned to live on crackers and
breakfast food may yet continue to get
what enjoyment he can out of his reg
ular bill Of fare. The steamer Hilon-
ian, Of the Matson line, arrived In port
yesterday morning from Portland with
a big cargo. comprising among other
things about $500 bushels Of potatoes
and unlimited crackers. Instead Of her
usual straight cargo. the vessel brings
this time an assortment Of all sorts OF
flour. onions. fruit. boots and shoes,
things. turkeys and chickens
salmon. agricultural implements, feed.
furniture. etc. There are 1900 tons Of
freight direct from Portland and 1900
from San Francisco. This Is a record
cargo and speaks well for the future Of
trade between Portland and Honolulu.
Captain Johnson says that now that
the Portland business men have got
an opening down here, brisk trade
will be kept up between the two ports.
The first part Of the Hilonian's yoy-
age from Portland was rough one. a
heavy gale being encountered. There
was also some trouble In the boiler
rooms. a new crew having been shipped
at Portland at the last moment Chief
Engineer Klitgaard. who IL here for
tho first time In that capacity. expects
to have all difficulties Strengthened out
by the time the Hilonian is ready to
loavc.
The IIilonian will probably go Ia
llilo about Friday to discharge the re-
mainder of her cargo and to take on
5000 sacks Of sugar.

WESTERN UNIVERSITY.

One of the strong forces at work
in making such brilliant success
of the Interstate Literary con-
vention which convened in Kans-
as City, Mo-, during the holidays
was the various highclass talent
contributed by Western University
Four student literary societies and
the Teachers Reading Circle were
represented by fifteen delegates.
The fine work of the University
quartette and the beautiful sweet
solos and duets of Misses Katie
Guy, DIVA Ellison, Jessie Jen-
nings, Mr.. Llyde Andrews and
Charles Thurman, with the mas
terly performance of Prof. r. g,
jackson at the piano, are numbers
that fairly captured and charmed
the hundreds who attended the
sessions of the convention.
The orations by Mr.. Guy Ander-
son of the James A. Handy Liter
ary, Mr.. Orma Skinner of Dunbar
Literary, and Mr.. George L. Will
Jams of the Atheneum were among
the best rendered. The excellent
rendition of "Rosalind's Surrend-
er" Miss Irene Beard of the Doug
lass Lyceum, called forth great APP
plause and many fiattering com
ments.
President VIM. T. Vernon ad-
dressed the convention Tuesday
evening, December Goth; Rev. E.
r. Vaughan otficiated in a relig-
ious manner; Prof. Albert Ross
was appointed and served in "a re-
sponsible capacity as member of
finance committee; Prof r. G..
jackson was chosen one of the
Judges in the Original Music con-
test and Prof. Archie Gregg was
elected lst vice president of the
Inter State convention for the in
coming year. AS factor in con-
tributing high grade talent to the
uplifting and progressive nave
meuts of this Western section,
Western University stands second
to no other Negro educational in
stitution.

Any attempt to define race
without knowledge of authropo-
logy and its correlated branches,
and of philosophy; or to define ac-
cording to the public prejudices of
the day. exposes one to the merci-
less ridicule and sarcasm of science.
Some years ago two such efforts
appeared: The one, dignified i'll a
book; the other published in the
Quarterly Review of the African
methodist Episcopal Church. The
book was by white man; the ar
ticle by black man; The Negro
located the origin of the white
man in the leprosy Of Gehazi.
His nonchalance in the delivery of
such an original opinion upon so
difficult a subject was, to say the
least, remarkable. He wrote with
the fippancy and superficiality of
novice. The other writer, an
Episcopal clergyman, endeavored
to reproduce, under the stamp of
originality, the unreasonable
and illogical views of the late Prof.
Winchell upon the Adamic and
non -Adamic races. His sopho-
moric opinions respecting the Ne
gro, reviving the ante -bellum eth
nology concerning the black man
was an anachronism of ignorance.
But to discuss these opinions, so
innocent of reason, would be to
dignity them and bring them into
the notice of sensible men. Let
us pass on.
The science of ethnology,
through dignified as science, is
still in swaddling bands. 1t is
very risky, except upon the open
way of knowledge, to pronounce
with any degree of certainty
And when we come to the partic-
ular chronological description of the
African, it's then, more than at any
other time, that the science dis
closes its inaccuracies and reveals
the shackles that bind its arm.
The African" is still the sphinx
in literature as well as in philosop-
by.
The ancient anthropological de-
scription of the Negro finds rare
verification in America, and even
when applied to the natives of At
rica, it is not universally true.
The ancient Negro type of Africa
is curiosity in America. But
difficult as it is to define the myr-
id peoples of Africa, the Negro in
America furnishes task no less
difficult. Suffice at this time to
say, that this work has been under
The Colorado statesman., 1906-01-13

taken by competent coterie of Ne
groes who hope to give to the pub
lie, at some day, the results of
their original research and persis-
tency.
Several things must be borne in
mind in the study of this subject.
First: 1t is necessary that this
biography be kept in mind to un-
derstand the full significance of
the word under study.
Second: While the study of
the etymology of a word is logi-
cal and necessary study, this meth
cd is not the only one whereby we
are to determine the full meaning
of a word used today. 1t becomes,
therefore, mere pedanticism to in
sist that the original chronological
meaning of word is it's full
meaning. Pedanticism, under
such strenuous use, is no more
than literary fetichism and this
latter should be cast out, for an
idol of the woods. Science and
usage are to be appealed to, as
well as the root-terminology in Or
der that we may know the full
meaning of a word.
Third: In this country, except
for recording in complexity of the
origin of our citizenry, it is a
waste of time and an un-American
practice to be continually harping
upon the race origin of the Negro.
This is done with reference to him
almost exclusively. Negroes dis
play a lack of economic wisdom
and fine sensibility by constantly
harying about and prating upon
either the singularity OF complexi-
ty of their origin. Every school
boy knows that blood that makes
the cheek dark or black originated
in Africa. Some years ago dis
tinguished Negro who once held a
government position was scrupu-
lously careful when called upon to
speak in public to itemize the var
ious bloods that made up his COM
plex personality, and this he did
in order to show that he was part
white, and for which he should re-
ceive special consideration at the
hands of the whites. But he was
sadly mistaken. Origin is not the
greatest thing in personality; pres
ent state and character count more
than ancient pedigree.
Recently an American Negro
has attempted to locate himself
ethnologically. His effort, like
those of certain other writers,
brings into notice certain race
The Colorado statesman., 1906-01-13

names, which, let us examine.

names, which, let us examine.
First, he is called an African.
This term refers more to nativity
than raceality. The primal or
strict pathological meaning, as Civ
en- in the Century Dictionary, is:
pertaining to the continent, or.
in ancient times, of the province
of Africa" Africa is a wide
ethnographical region: An Afri-
can may be white or black, yellow
or brown. In the earliest attempt
at classification of the races, the
term African had simply an
ethnographical meaning. Bernier
was the first to attempt to locate
the races, whites" in Europe,
yellow" in Asia, and "blacks" in
Africa. Linnaeus was the first to
attempt an chronological descrip-
ton of the African, but his use of
the term African" is not philolog-
ical, but racial. Bugon, Blumen-
bach, Cuvier, st. Vincent, Des-
monlin, Kant, Huxley, Quarter
pages, all use the term in its terri
torial application. When they
come to the chronological descrip-
ton of the races, then the term,
by literary consent, is applied to
the "black" people of Africa The
warrant is found in the predomi-
nance of blacks in Africa.
Sacred and profane history are
full of the records of distinguished
africans" 1t remains to be
proved, however that Cyrpian, Au-
gustine, Terrence and Hannibal
who were Africas; that is, who
were native to the soil of Africa,
were of one and the same blood
and, consequentially, of one and
the same race, or that they belong
to the same species of the genus
homo that Cetewago, M'tesa and
Kahma, who were also Africans,
belonged to. 1 confess to an ex-
treme anxiety for seeing a pure
historical effort, approved in its
methods by scientific rules, that
shall place securely such men as
mentioned above in the first list as
blood relatives, and. therefore, in
the same race with Alexander
Crummel, Edwin Wilmot Blyden
and Moshesh.
By no twist of logic or by no
rhetorical flourish can it be shown
that the term africans" is synon-
omous with the term Negroes. :"
Second: He is called an afro
American" This term is perhaps
the least satisfactory and the least
sensible. 1t is an hybridity in
philosophy and history and, there
fore, is absurd. Blood mixture,
when allowable under the moral
and civil codes of the land is re-
spectacle and has been fruitful of
much good, but a literary adultery
of philology and history and final
ly with violent consorting with
curb stone and newspaper. origi-
mating metoric, is repugnance to
clear thoughted men who respect
and logic What are the possible
meanings of this long-headed word ?
First, the person described may be
an African born American; i. e.,
one born in Africa of American par
entage. In such a case he may be
The Colorado statesman., 1906-01-13

! Wnlte or ne may be case ne may
be ''black" The term american"
is not racial term. 1t is a politi-
cal word Second: The words
may mean one who is an American
born African: i. e., an individual of
African parentage born in Ameri-
ca. Ant what is the color of this
African parentage? To what race
do these Africans" belong? Such
a question may legitimately be
asked of Tertullian or Augustine.
What is the real relationship of an
Afro italian and and Italio-Afri-
can? May not either term be ap-
piled to Augustine the Bishop of
Hippo and be as Illuminating as
to his race identity as the other
pea-in-the pod Afro American
illuminates us s.upon the race ident-
ity of Fredrick Douglas? Which
is which, and which is not which? ?
Further, why insist upon afro
American" instead of America
Africa4 except it be that "Afri-
can" blood, or Negro blood-to use
the loose Interpretation of the dis
tributors of this hybridity-is
more strenuous than the so-called
''white- blood" This method of
reasoning leads us into tangle of
absurdities and the only sensible
thing to do is to throw the baby
out with the water.
The African born Americans
may be white or black and the
most of them live in Africa. They
are the immediate children of the
American colonists, missionaries
and merchants in Africa. Some
of them have returned TO America
and are as truly Afro-American as
the children born in India of
American parents Indo-American.
On the continent of Europe may
be found Indo- Europeans, term
which is applied to descendants of
Europeans born in India. The
like reasoning process would in
terpret Afro-Americans' to mean
descendants of Americans born in
Africa. In recent years another
word has come into vogue to ap-
ply to the whites. natives of South
Africa, or immigrant thereto, the
word "Africander" The word was
born in the prejudice of those
whites against the word african. :"
When Africa shall come fully into
history with world powers on her
shores, the decendants of the pref
udiced Beers will drop the last
syllable of that heathenish and
dutchy word. An American born
African is an American. The ques-
ton of nationality here presents
itself, Africa is not nationality.
There is no such thing in history
as an african Nation" africa"
is vast geographical territory of
multitudes of tribal kingdoms,
governments and peoples. A ma
ton is political personality with
no exclusive race idea, except
among those of the effete East 1t
may be composite in its political
physiognomy because of the COM
plexity of it's racial elements, as
seen in the English nation and in
the American nation; or it may be
uniform in its racial caste as seen

1t is claimed that the railway COM

On the other hand, 1t was contended
by the railway company that all

that the machine installed on the
engine for that purpose was standard
machine; that 1t was inspected once a
month, although it was really not
necessary to inspect it more than once
in six months.
The defense contended that when q
man Undertook to run a locomotive he
took degree If caance; that while it
was the company's duty to give him
good machinery, and TO inspect and
Keep 1t IN good condition, the railway
company was not an insurer, and
