Special Rising Son
Hon. W. T. Yer, the register Of the
United States treasury was in thi,
city January to deliver the emancipa-
tion address of the i3rd. year of the
freedom of the Negro. II was through
Rev. l.. G.. Jordan, the secretary of
the Afro-American council that the
citizens OF this community got an op-
pcdtunity to hear the most distin-
guished orator. While here he was
in the hands of such well known per.
sons as Miss Mamie II. Burroughs.
Col. r. w. Thompson. Rev. l.. G.
Jordan and Carry b. Lewis.
His address was not political. hut
one OF advice. encouragement and
hope for the future of the race
Throughout his speech he arggued
for the better things that go to make
good citizenship. II etold most pa
thetically of the part that Negroes
have taken in wars and how they had
tried to be of service to this great
republic. He spoke of the work of
Booker r. Washington and other
race leaders. After discussing in
dustry, sobriety, honesty. unity of
purpose and the higher things that
! help his people To be brought to a
favorable consideration of the Amer.
! lean people he said: THE progress
| cir Ia.
| emancipation is without parallel in
| the history of the world. The spirit
of tn" AngloSaNon for progress along
all lines has been exhibited by his
former slaves, and the manhood
and indeStruCtble worth which these
| former slaves have exhibited should
| appeal for fair treatment to the man
hood of every American. To argue
| that education should he denied him
is To argue against the best inter.
cSts of the government. Our best
citizenship is that which knows its
rights and is accorded them; which
! knows its duty and performs it. Ig.
nuranCe in country such as ours
can not be- made the mother of de-
| votiOn, which is another name for pa.
triorism upon which rests the safety
of the republic. In war the Negro
/ has record that he is not ashamed
of. Let us not be content on our past
efforts for race security. Let our ac.
compishments OF the past be a
| guarantee of our future efforts.
Unity of purpose and unity of effort
have always meant much in the lives
of nations.
The strongest of the race should
help the weakest. Those who see
the light should point the way to
thoes who see it not. We should
seek To reform those of the race
whose tread has been other than up
ward. To go amongst these with a
spirit of Christ showing them their
weakness and convincing them of
their errors is not only duty to
| them. but to ourselves. These
weights that are about MS must be
changed to instruments Of hepful
fune,s and We who are leaders must
labor for the masses As was said
in Holy Writ, Righteousness eX
alteth a nation" oS. rectiture Of con
duct, industry, sobriety and strug
gle for the higher things of life will
bring us to the favorable considera
ton of the American people"
After the speaking he was given a
grand reception at the Women's In
dustrial Club rooms, 72S walnut
streets.
He left the next morning for Lex
ington where he spoke to large
audience on The Negro in America,

gave rule for happiness. The rule
was this:
ITO obey the Judge within and make
others happy.
"If the Judge within gives you a
clean verdict. we have no other judge
to fear, here or hereafter.
but after satisfying that Judge,
above all else the way to be happy is
to make others happy"
Can a man accomplish rs much at
seventy as at forty?" he was asked.
More. bless you, more" replied Car.
negie. "All things being equal n mans
efficiency is increased at seventy. He
Is equipped with greater experience.
The world is growing better. and It
follows that the men In It grow better
as they grow older"
Carnegie was asked: when is mans
usefulness ripest?"
when he has attained the highest
degree OF perfection Of which he is
capable" was the reply. This means
that IL he conserves his physical and
mental powers he will be ripest when
he has attained long life. At seventy

Children were long ago barred from

British Justles.

British Justice is usually regarded
ns both sure and swift. and much has
been printed to show how much hard
er is the way Of the transgressor In
England than In the United States.
and how much m,re certain he is to
be punished. A recent communica'
tion to the London Times by Sir
Ralph Littler. a veteran magistrate.
puts decidedly different aspect upon
the matter. The writer. complaining
of tho wholly inadequate sentences
which are often Imposed. mentions the
case OF one man who boasted that he
had committed the offense OF house
breaking no less than 22 times. He
had been In prison four times In one
year. yet his longest sentence was ten
months. The London police report s33
persons In the metropolitan district
who are habituai criminals. In the
same district. out OF 5l2 cases of
burglary. there were only 2et appre'
tensions: and In the cases OF shop
breaking the number OF arrests was
less than one In four. These facts
certainly do not indicate any marked
superiority In the administration OF
Justice.

burglar who. after robbing child's
bank, left note OF apology saying
that he had never robbed child be-
fore and would not do 1t now except
that he needed the money; adding
that II he ever had s1.27 that he could

not lovers OF children in that region
