THE NEGRO MOTHER,

In our opinion Senator Tillman fail.
ed to sustain his contention that the
negro mother is Immoral" 1t Is of
course true that the moral qualities
are not so highly developed In the ne.
gro woman US they are In the white.
and the Senator gave one exceedingly
good reason for 1t when he said TINT
the white girl had been taught chasti.
ty and virtue for ten, twelve or fifteen
generations and shown the awfulness
and sinfulness Of immortality, but the
eo'ored girl has had only three Of four
generations OF training and that often
OF a very Inferior kind. This Is at
once an explanation and a condition
TO incite sympathy. While the colorel
woman may never become as strong
morally . as her white sister, 1t Is
wrong to condemn her until she has
had a chance and developed the best
that Is In her. Instead Of condemn.
ing the colofed mother as Immoral"
and %berating her offspring because Of
this fact it would be more Christian.
like to teach her morality and unllrt
her race. II the negro can't be made
as good as the white man, II Is Ger.
tainly worth while to try to make him
rs good as possible.

both our dollars and our women. He

Practical Points.

Disobedience to Gods laws is the
road to death. whether 1t be disobedi-
ence to his moral laws or to the laws
OF health and right use Of our bodies.
Even the moderate use of strong
drink shortens the life in years. and
shortens 1t still more in its effective
power.
Alcohol is dangerous, not only by
reason of the injuries it causes to the
nervous system. but above all by the
denutrition that Il produces in an Or
ganism which INDUCES in It to excess.
