THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION

THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION
January 1st, or New Year to the Ameri
can Negro, will ever be one of pleasant mem
cries even when the cause for it's pleasant
memories will be a century in the past. TO
unshackle four million human beings and
convert them from a state Of chatteldOm to
full-fedged citizenship by one stroke of the
pen placed halo about the day that will
make it sacred to those who were it's recipi
ents for generations and ages. The name
and memory of the immortal Lincoln, whom
an all-wse Creator brought into this world
seemingly for the special mission Of making
men out of human chattels, will ever stand
out in bold relief against a dark back
ground and shine no less brightly than the
Emancipation Proclamation itself: which
was written on time s tablet with the hearts
blood of half million of Uncle Sans
bravest and best men and women.
While the Negro was the direct recipient
of that wonderful document, yet the whole
country proited thereby and every patriotic
son and daughter Of the United States still
rejoice in the highest that they had Presi-
dent who was not afraid to do and die The
Negro has double cause for rejoicing on
this day for though Lincoln spoke the word
that made him Free some three months or
more prior to the taking effect of the Eman-
cipation Proclamation, January LIST, 1863, he
likewise became patriot. North, South,
East and West the Negro remembers the
memories of that day by holding public DEM
onstrations, and the New Year just past was
no exception to the rule In Atlanta, GeOr-
gia, so incensed did column Of Negro
marchers twelve blocks long become at an
Anglo-Saxon, who wanted to show his con-
tempt for the demonstration by wrecklessly
trying to drive through the procession, that
the man all but lost his life, and street
car conductor Jared equally as bad when he
attempted to run his car through the process
sion In no other section save the South
do such clashes as these occur, for in the
other sections of the country the whites are
too highly pleased at the demonstrations to
do or say anything that would cause ripple
of unpleasantness.
Though the commemorative ceremonies
were not generally participated in by the
Negroes Of Seattle yet quite an enthusiastic
number of them assembled at the A. M. E.
church on Fourteenth Avenue, and a spen-
did meeting is reported. John F. Cragwel
was made chairman of the evening, and pa
triotic speeches were made by the chairman,

THAT ORIENTAL BOYCOTT.


Andrew Heinrich, the Seattle brewer shows

rather selfish one, as the boycott is greatly

that originally brought about the boycott
Great reforms have come into existence

only preyed upon their earnings, but abso-
lutely reduced less fortunate race to bond

from him. In other words, the dominant
race in the United States is money mad

they want those damnable exclusion laws

this sudden change of heart they do not eX-

their pockelbool and by no means through

years the Japanese was held in the same

Hon. Harry F. Sturve, at one time a promi-
nent Seattle man, but at present engaged in
business in China warned the citizens Of
this country against pushing the dractic Chi

print that the United States merchants would
lose millions of dollars on account of the
boycott even if the laws were modified at
once and the longer they remained in a
statu quo the more widespread would the
boycott become and now all he said at that
time has been more than verified by Andrew
Heinrich, a brewer and capitalist Of Seat

of this country permit the bragadocia bullies
and bigots to continue to run it into in

account Of their greed for gain and self
assumed race superiority? Would Andrew

OF editorial changes perhaps the
most notable is that which took Mr..

partner, to Messrs. Harper & Broth
ers. But of all the changes the most
exciting is the secession of the Nc
Clure staff. Mr.. Phillips, Miss Tarbell,
Mr. Steffens and Mr.. Baker were con-
sidered by most of US as just as much
a part of McClure's establishment as
Mr.. Mcclure himself; and that they
should secede was the biggest surprise
that the publishing world has had in
many a long day. OF course. these
seceders had no thought of going out
of business. They could not afford
to and they did not want to: it was
because they wanted to do business in
their own way that they left Nc
Clure's. The first thing they did was
to set about to find a magazine to buy
instead OF starting one afresh.l Several
were offered them but after investiga-
ton they decided not to buy. The
American was not offered them. Mr..
Colver and his associates had no
thought of selling. They were doing
well and were happy. But Mr.. Phil

at the Fifth avenue office and put out
feelers. Mr. Colver listened and then
came proposition. After some fig
rring back and forth a price was
named and sale agreed upon. The
price was a good one, running into
the hundreds of thousands. With such
financial responsibility there can be
no half hearted methods with Mr..
Phillips and his associates; in fact.
half hearted methods would be impos-
sible with such a combination of strenu-
Gus workers. Hardly were the papers
signed than the new concern took hold
of the American Magazine. But their
ownership will not probably be felt at
once. The editorial staff, as has all
ready been announced, includes besides
the original secessiontsts, Mr.. F. p.
Dunno and Mr.. William Allen White.

result in more or less obstruction of
business. In the matter of security of
loans no plan has been brought TO the
front that seems likely to solve the
difficulty. Bad loans, worthless col

usually given among the reasons for
failure. The truth III many cases 10
that the gambling instinct lures to the
acceptance of risks Of this kind, be-
cause of the better interest which
such risks can be made to pay. Where
a banker willfully oyervalues the col

ing of a borrower it is pretty hard for
the bank examiner to discover the
weakness in the banks assets which
is likely in case of unforeseen circun-
stances to prove its downfall.
The most reasonable ground of safe
ty is the vigilance of the directors. The
trouble is that the directors as a rule
are not vigilant. The stockholders
leave matters to the directors, the d.
rectors to the executive board, the
executive board to the president and
cashier, and the president and cashier
occasionally leave the whole thing and
go to Mexico. The bank examiner cam

ways may be devised for opening to

that with the intelligent cooperation
of these officials who are acquainted
with the details he can scent traces of
crookedness, if there. be any, which

buried too deep for suspicion.

bilites for crime has become painfully

more perfect protection of depositors

this kind are made the excuse for fake
gatherings. Candidates are called
upon to buy blocks of tickets for this

ways the implied threat that if they
do not purchase, something dire will
happen. The timid candidate is kept
in a state of continual scare"
The problem is a difficult one to
solve. Probably the best that can be
done is to build UP public sentiment
against this kind of grating which
will strengthen candidates to turn the

BADGERING CANDIDATES.
[Materloo TimesATribune.l
,sIs q

A number of the democratic and re-
publican candidates in. Minnesota, es-
pecially those for local offices in
Minneapolis and st. Paul, are making
overtures to each other for an agree
ment that will protect them from po-
litical blood-suckers. The grating
of these fellows has grown to an evil
of such proportions that candidates
feel they must do something to pro-
tect themselves against their rapac
ity. The demands by hangers-on for
dough" as a condition precedent to
according candidates support has be-
come so fierce" as to practically eat up
the salaries of the offices for the first
year or two. Perhaps here is a hint
of the source of graft" by some pub
lie officers. They feel that having
been "touched' heavily for campaign
funds before election they are justi-
fed in resorting to questionable
means to recoup themselves. The
only remedy lies in an agreement be-
tween candidates on opposing tickets
to refuse to be held up, but it is doubt
full if such combination can be eff
fected. Thus it would appear, that in
the last analysis, the dishonesty Of
public officers is, in large measure,
due to prevalence of low moral tone
among the people themselves.
Commenting on the practice in Min
nesota. the ST. Paul Pioneer Press says
1t would be found that some of the
worst offenders in politics are the
churches. In support of this view, it
gives an instance of a certain church
which lined up all the candidates for
office and. cody informed them that a
contribution of $40 per head toward
wiping out the church debt was what
was wanted and wanted right off.
Churches and other societies. con-
tinues the Pioneer Press, have been
known to resort to the popular voting
contest to separate candidates from
their money. The popular voting con-
test has nothing to do with popular
ity 1t is entirely a matter of cash.
Its success depends on getting the

LABOR PARTY COMING.

Mr.. Gompers intends to make good
his purpose to put union labor into
politics. His latest move Is to union
ize the postal clerks of the land. Pos
sibly we may yet hear of strike or 4

manding higher pay. In the more "ad-

ton enforced by the army and COM
puIsory arbitration. Whether this Is
to be the sequel of Mr.. GOmpers' move
ment in the United States, time alone
will tell Certain it is that the public
will not tolerate suspension of the
mails and consequent destruction of
its business while postal employees
fight for increased pay or closed shops.
The public will be inclined to suggest
that there is no requirement. legal or
otherwise, which makes it necessary,
for men to hold government jobs.
If all men could grasp the economic
fact that the government is simply the
organization thru which the whole
people collectively perform certain CO.
operative functions for the good OF the
whole number, they would get away
from the notion that the government

on that the statesmen who framed the
government provided that government
employees residing in the District of

nose was to run the government for

People will not object, however. to q
which will benefit postal
clerks or any other class of citizens in
the way of better pay or pleasanter
conditions, the suspicion will linger
tho that Mr.. Gompers is actuated by
a. desire to use the postal clerks to
support the demands which are being
made for the particular class which
he represents, fully as much as by the
desire to better the condition of postal
employees. In other words it is Mr..
Gompers' duty to organize as great
following for federated labor as pos
sible, legitimate and honorable in
every way, tho not altogether disin-
terested. The movement among the
postal clerks is only an incident. II

Pine Trees Made Into Silk.
(Harper's Magazine)

WRAPPER MdSdZlile)
About five tons of artificial silk are
now manufactured daily in Europe and
the demand far exceeds the supply.
This is one of the many modern pro-
ducts of cellulose, that wonderful sub
stance of which the microscopic cells
of plants are made and which compos-
es about one-third of all the vegetable
and animal matter in the world. Rob
ert Kennedy Duncan, now professor
of industrial chemistry in the Uni
versity Of Kansas, points out it's posi-
bilities for the manufacturer. For in
stance he writes:
"a pine tree is worth $40 ton; cut
and stripped it is worth SIS; boiled in
to pulp it is worth $40; bleached it Is
worth SIS, which turned into viscoe
and spun into silk is worth $500"
