HARDENED BY LYNCH|NG
Negroes they turn on the Whites Says
Springfield Republican.

Some of the Southern newspa-
pers are marvelipg at the savagery
shown 10y the lynchers of white
man at Wadesboro, n. c.. week
or so ago.
The man was in jail awaiting tri-
al on the charge of numbering
another white man. He was taken
out by white mob, and what fol-
lowed is thus related in the Char
lotte Observer.
They fired a full volley upon
reaching Main street and all along
the route of a mile they kept up a
desultory fusilade. The bare foot
ed tracks of the lynched man show
that they had him on the run. He
was pleading for mercy and pray
ing all the way. In front of GER
tain house he caught hold of a gate
post or other stay and resisted. 1t
was then as it is supposed, that his
wrist Joint was severed with a knife
thrust His corpse bore cut across
the chest, besides this severed
wrist his left arm was broken bv a
club blow. The coroner tells me
that there is not square inch of
space above his knees net penetrat-
ed with bullets.
Below the two knots cf rope on
the little pine limb the ground is
still clamy.
Yes, it is hard to understand.
but one can easily see how school

gro offenders might avail 10 make
similar savagery toward white
criminal easily a matter of course.

of earth are those born with mis-

dare to do it against every foe.
When this race has learned that
gold, not dross; true merit, not de-
merit ability, not inability; right,
not wrong; justice, not injustice :;
great purposes, not ignoble desires
in short, when we learn that the
standard of the Aryan of the
higher type in this twentieth cen
tury civilization is that which
makes men great-then, emerge we
more and more from obscurity, and
assume that greatness which com
eth to all who deserve the same.
This age is the outgrowth of all
past efforts to be great. Civiliza-
ton, an epitome of the ages dead,
sweeps before man. He sees before
him mighty possibilities and un-
paralleled demands.

It's all with you.
Let us each by proficiency and
merit deserve and win the support
and respect of all our fellow men.
Let us stand for the better things
of life in this day of strenuous de-
mand. Let us measure up to that
expected of the noble and true, not
by vainglorious boasting or self
assertion, but by intrinsic merit.
We shall thus help forward the day
of glorious achievement for a race
which. as generations come and go,
shall do the work that Providence
ordains in the divine economy of
creation, and help forward the day
of highest possibilities for the race
of the earth.

That their efforts may not prove
abortive, educators must be at
work, preparing our youth-the
sovereign hosts of giant republic
for their task.
The differences in races that af-
feet the social elements in Ameri-
can life must not prevent a unified
purpose in the material efforts put
forward for the progress of our
common country.
Americans are we, must be
the motto of our youth, and only
by being educated, worthy Ameri-
cans can we measure up to the de-
mands of these time. Then let this
institution go ON in its great work
of helpfulness and man-moulding
for the Negro youth. Let true prin-
ciples be taught to them, that shall
stand the test inevitable, when they
reach the outer world. And what
shall these things be?
They must understand that con-

centrated service, whether in the
lowly ways or in the higher walks
of life is the need of this and every
age. They must know that no in
dividual, no race, no nation can
survive whose ideas of true life is
not service for ones fellow man.
The doing of the work of to-day
with the realization of necessity
expanding duty tomorrow, must
be the view point of the youth of
this race.
Are we honest7 Are we prof
cient Are we worthy9 These are
questions men must ask and affirm

Cleverness without goodness is
an invitation to defeat. The Eter-

To be properly educated is to
comprehend ones rights, and at
the same time to understand that
ones duties are correspondingly
great, and that as we deserve rights
we shall receive them.
This demand for rights will be
more readily granted when made
by worth as well as word. We each
owe it to the world to labor for
better era, when Righteousness and
truth shall hold sway among men.
observe that the greatest efforts
for reform socially are those move
ments tending to the betterment of
the oppressed peoples of the earth,
have come from efforts to put in
force the teachings of Him Who
died to make men holy To work
then to this end is to educate men
to the higher and nobler ends of
life.
The supposition that laws exter-
nally applied can rectify all hu-
man ills is erroneous. Laws can
be made repressive for the crimi-
nally inclined, but nothing can be
substituted for the creation within
of clean heart, the lifting Of a
soul out of the quagmire Of low
thoughts and vicious aims For
this reason men are laboring to
conform the mind of man to the
better and higher things of life.
We are learning that men can only
be made wise and strong from in
ternal causes, working outward,
from which an awakened con-
science arouses to the duties before
one.
The awakening of mankind to
duties and rights as well, is an
omen of good cheer to all who love-
their fellow men. These two are
but compliments of each other. 1t
is the duty of man to man, race to
race and nation to nation in civic
affairs which have a sure result in
the enlarging of rights, the per-
formance Of duties, the perfecting
of fellowship. The preachment of
leaders of the higher type is for
this purpose.
Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt
were each born with a mission to
give, preserve and develop ma
ton. Up to this task of world up
lift, following the inspiring lives
and teachings of these great men
must come that mighty army of
educated men and women, who
shall stand for all ideals fought out
and wrought out by these.
Such as these prepare the world
to accept the best at its true value,
make opportunity for the deserv-
ing and provide careers of useful
ness for all their worthy fellows.

every crucial test, carry him to the
fore, lift him out of the depths de-
spite untowardness and suffering,
and there will finally exist a Negro,
living great life, thinking great
thoughts, doing great things as an

the mighty American republic.

Golden Jubilee

Celebrated at Its Annual Anniversary
of the Treasury DR.. w. T. Vernon's Address.

Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentle
men,:
1t gives me great pleasure to ap-
pear here to-day and speak as one
bearing a message of good cheer,
hope and encouragement from the
great leader of this nation, your
friend, my friend, the friend of all
men who strive to make life worth
the living-President Theodore
Roosevelt.
This is a great occasion. 1t marks
|the fiftieth year of progress of this
great institution, replete with men,
cries of Payne, Mitchell, Shorter
land other pioneers now passed be-
(yond. but who left us lives of con-
Secration and good deeds, culminat-
ing in this glorious harvest of use
fulness and blessings to the race.
AS one honored by President
Theodore Roosevelt-President OF
these United States, who thus gives
to our church great recognition,
and thus bids the humblest of my
race to aspire, / come and bring to
you his message, expressive OF his
interest in our welfare. He bade
me say to you that he hoped for
you all that you desired in this jul
bilee celebration and wished you
all the greatest possible success. Be
assured that every blessing and sue
cess which comes to us IS pleasing
to, him-that our prosperity as
rSce is to this great man a pleasure
and source of qualification, and
that the doctrine Of the square
deal" and justice to all men is see
ING its nearest fulfillment in the
efforts which he to-day is making
for all the people of America IN
every hour of his splendid admin
istration of remarkable achieve
ments.
This occasion augurs well for
Wilberforce University. On this
platform are leaders in church
and State, who have come to pay
homage to this cause of education.
Should / enlarge upon any one
statement, I would say that so ur-
gent are her demands, so beneficent
her results, so glorious her achieve
ments that men delight to honor
education as the great uplifting,
saving influence Of the earth. The
/ savage and the scholar, the fol
lower and the leader, the chatterlng
jargon or the poets dream song,
the idle, wasteful hand, the useful,
skilled service all-all measure
their difference by the one word
! education.
All our education must have one
purpose-the preparation of the re-
cipient for useful service to his fel-
low man.

Mind How You Laugh.

Isn't it a curious thing that laugh
ing may spoil your features? If you
laugh with the sides of your face the
skin will work loose in time and wrin-
kles will form in exact accordance with
the kind of laugh you have. A person
who is accustomed to suppressing his
feelings generally has a deep line run
ming from each side of his nose to the
upper corner of his mouth, which in
time extends to the chin. forming the
shape of half moon. The scholars
wrinkle forms on his brow, while a
schemer's wrinkles come around his
eyes. The man who always wears a
Hnirk will have series of semiclrcn-
lr wrinkles covering his cheeks.
