NEGRO W|TE MANS EQUAL

The Daily Sentinel of Grand
Junction, in its issue of April Sth,
had the following to say of SER
mon delivered by Rev. d. D. For
syth, a white minister of that city:
Yesterday morning in pretty
radical sermon, Rev. d. d. For
syth, of the Methodist church,
made some very startling and very
sensational statements.
He dwelt with the alleged curse
of Mormonism, the race problem
and the dangers attending foreign
immigration, and offered solutions
for each of these mighty questions.
In dealing with the race ques-
ton Rev. Forsyth declared that
the Negro has equally as bright a
mind and equally as strong an in
tellect as the white man, with
pleasure he related instances where
in his opinion this declaration was
easily proven. He told of a Ne.
gro recently excelling Pennsylvan-
ia youths in certain examinations
held in the Keystone state and re-
lated story to the effect that a
Negro entering Harvard has sur
passed in his studies and work the
son of a prominent gentleman Of
the old South. He denounced the
idea that the Negro is all right in
his place. continuing that his
place is at the side of the white
man and should be treated with
brotherly affection.

fore the Negro building at the
jamestown Exposition.
AS matter of fact when the
proposition was placed before the
authorities of Boston, loud and
solemn wall of protest was set up
by the colored people of that city
against what they considered
would be dissertation of what is
or should be to every Negro in
America, the symbol of their most
sacred devotion to liberty.
They contended that this bit of
artistic statuary was the priced
and honored concrete expression
of liberty in its broadest and dear
est sense and the proposed use of
it in a locality and environment so
sadly at variance with this idea
and where the rights of Negroes
are SO recklessly abridged, would
be a mockery and outrage of the
high ideals of American citizen
ship to-which true Negro manhood
and womanhood must ever be com
mitted.
The visitors to the Exposition
will not, therefore see the real
Crispus Attucks monument but
an artistic reproduction which can
in no sense carry with it the sug-
gestion of the lofty patriotism
and love of liberty which are
breathed from every line of the
heroic original.

The records show that there
were alone 5000 Negro soldiers
among the 10000 which constitut-
ed the force under Gen. Greene at
White Plains, N. Y, that they re-
ceived repeated concentrations
for bravery and were considered
generally among the most gallant
in the continental army. 1t is al
so of record in the archives of the
Massachusetts society of the D. A.
R, that Negro, by the name of
Samuel Weir was substantial
contributor of his means to the
support of the Revolutionary cause
and his name appears with the
Adamse and the Wolcotts and the
Winthrops, than which none are
more honored in American history.
The thought of what might hap
pen should descendant of Weir
or Attucks or others of our Revo.
lutionary heroes apply to the Sons
or Daughters for admission to
those organizations, is too sugges-
tive of sulphur and kindred ele-
ments to allow us to indulge it..
Nevertheless their patent of des-
cent from loyal and honorable
Revolutionary stock would be as
strong as the best, and their appli-
cation, after the Sons and Daueh-
ters had been restored from the
shock. would probably be returned
and the applicant advised that the
limit of membership had been
reached or of the great regret felt
at being compelled to reject said
application.
AS matter of fact it is not for
the privilege of wearing the en-
blem of any of these organizations
or of association with the members
thereof or even of sharing in the
collateral benefits which follow
upon such membership. Its neith-
er of these things. But it is that
claim and attitude of native and
inherent superiority, which such
associations evince and which at
every turn is arrogantly Haunted
in the face of the average, ordinary
! American, which is an evidence of
the worst possible taste and for
which we contend there is neither
reason or excuse.

Washington, d, c., April 16.-
Some few months ago several in
dividuals attempted to organize a
lilly white social club, at which
time the Bee exposed the organi-
zation and it disbanded. Since
that time several of these same in
dividuals met and decided to or
mamie under a new name. While
the name has been changed, its
principles are the same. A few
weeks ago male member sent his
child to st. Luke's Sunday school
and because a dark colored lady
individual was teacher of his
daughter, he took the child from
the Sunday school class entirely,

The Austin Texas Tribune says:
Reports from Washington are that
throughout the South the appli-
cants for positions in the. civil SER
vice department of the government
are about ten Negroes to one white.
The government is sending out
word that there must be wrong
impression through the South
that the civil service examinations
are, altogether for Negroes, and
whites are urged to apply for the
positions. The impression is
more apt to be that if Negroes are
to be admitted to the civil service
pantry they can take the cake SO
far as the Southern whites are con-
cerned. There are certain posi-
tions which might be accorded the
colored people, but Roosevelt's
policy of putting Negroes in Off
cial positions throughout the
South, bodies no good for peace be-
tween the races.

Philadelphia, April pa gift
of $l.00O,000 for the establish
ment of fund for rudimentary
schools for Southern Negroes was
announced here tonight. The DON
er is Miss Anna T. Jeans, Quak-
er of this city. Booker T. Wash
ington, head of Tuskegee Institute
and Hollis Burke Frissell, presi-
dent of the Hampton Normal and
Industrial institute, are named as
trustees of the fund, but neither
of the institutions they represent
will share in the gift. The income
of the million dollars is to be used
for the sole purpose of assisting in
the Southern United States COM
munity, country and rural schools
for the great class of Negroes to
when the small rural and commun-
ity schools are alone available"
Mr.. Washington and Mr.. Frissell
are empowered to appoint board
of trustees in connection with the
fund. The Pennsylvania company
for insurances on lives and grant
ing annuities of this city will act
as fiscal agent for the trustees.
Miss Jeanes, the doner, is about so
years old and comes from an old
and wealthy family that has been
prominent for more than century
in the Society of Friends. She
has long been interested in the
welfare of the Negro and has been
a contributor to institutions for
their education.

no man in the building is more

same proportion is true in the
Montgomery postoffice. When
ever and wherever there is civil

to be found in large numbers, and
he permits nothing to stand in the
way of his showing what he can

himself to serve the government.

ElPaso, Texas, April 23.-Credi-
tors of the estate of the late Lord
D, j. Beresford, who was killed in
train wreck In North Dakota
December "a, 1906, leaving very
large estate, have filed an applica-
ton in the district court here for
the appointment of an administra-
tor, and the probate of the will.
Among the plaintiffs is Flora
Wolff, the Negro woman who
claims to have been the common
law wife of Beresford, and to whom
he willed $4,000. The others are
persons to whom BersesforI was
indebted, whose claims New
York lawyer, representing the
Beresfords, attempted to discount.
The estate is valued at over one
million dollars and consists of
lands and cattle in Mexico and
Canada. After providing for Flora
Wolff, the will left the remainder
of the property to his two brothers.
The Wolff woman declined to ac-
cept the amount left her, claiming
e wife's share under the laws of
Mexico. Admiral Lord Beresford,
when here some weeks ago, failed
to reach compromise with Flora
Wolff, and left the other claims to
be adjusted by his attorney in New
York.
