WHITE RAP|STS

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.
May. 27.--Last night, near Mar
lington, two unidentified men held
up an eloping couple from Marlin
ton, and after tying the man, Mar
tin Caldwell, to a tree, assaulted
the prospective bride, Miss Mary
Bird, aged Is, daughter of a hotel
keeper at Marlinton. She is in a
critical condition today.
There had been no objection to
their marriage, except on account
of age, but the young couple de-
cided that parental objections
should not count, and started with
horse and buggy for Lewisburg,
county seat of the adjoining coun-
ty, to secure the necessary license
and be married. They had pro-
ceeded only a few miles when
their horse was stopped by two
men. One unhitched the horse
while the other held the occupants
of the buggy.
Supposing that their attempt al
elopement had been discovered,

hood with honor and credit in
stead of a stain upon your charac-
ter? 1t is just as easy. 1t is al
ways easier to be man than to be
a rowdy. Cigaretts and gambling
and whiskey have had many a
wrestle with boys long before you
came on the scene, and they have
never yet been thrown. Don't get
the idea into your head that you
can turn the trick, If you don't
want to be decent for yourself be
decent out of respect for mother
and father and others, There is
one heart whose sorrows should
appeal to you. There is one who
has to bear the cross for your fool
ishness. You don't want your
trail through this world stained
with a mothers tears. The boy
who turns brazen face to a moth
ers grief never gets very far on the
road to happiness. When he gets
little older you find his name on
the police docket of various cities.
A little later the dark shadows of
stone walls loom up across his
pathway.
Without honor, home or friends
tits sad picture, but it is painted
every day in every town in this
broad land. The pathway of the
transgressor is one of rocks and
thorns. When you bruise your
feet the world will laugh at you,
just as you laughed at your moth
er's appeals. There is only one
system for boy to follow. Be de-
cent. 1t always pays dividends

must face oppositions on every
side. The white race is working
for its own welfare. We as race
are too Independent. We must
place value on ourselves and grad
ually work higher. The last few
years we have failed to gain in
population above the whites. I'm
migrants are taking the labor from
us. One reason is that they can
afford to work cheaper. The work
ing class that comes from foreign
countries are usually of a low de-
grading class. Friends, we need
patience. 1t takes a great deal of
patience to succeed. Look back
to the days of our forefathers. We
have no trials that are worthy to
be compared to theirs. Our days
are all sunshine compared to
theirs. Just think of the bloody
lashes, The majority of our peo-
pie do not plan ahead and save for
rainy days. Money burns in their
pockets. 1t does seem true that
some eople. think it, comes easy,
therefore go easy. One thing
hurts some of our people when
they get very fair positions. They
get what is commonly called the
big head. The sooner we stop
trying to hide our faults, the soon
er we will become aware of our
weakness. Then, and then only is
the time that we will begin to
press onward and upward. Our
race lacks great deal in this one
point.
They who have money like to
have it known. They will scheme
in all ways that are possible to
tell it, show it, and tell how they
got it. We are weak because we
are not patient, nor bold and frank
enough in business. Money is the
root of all evil. Remember we are
not the only race who have to over
come difficulties. Let this be the
means OF strengthening us.-Co-
lumbus World.

TOO LOUD AS A RACE

We, as a race, are not aware of
the fact as we go about our daily
routine we are noticed by that class
which is above us. They discover
our weak points, and from these
we are judged. There is too much
quarreling done over petty things.
1t is not the point that we quarrel
more than those above us, but we
are too loud, everything we do is
made public. The higher clas s
keep these things to themselves.
We are below them, therefore we
can not do and act as they. But
we ought to grasp every opportu-
nifty in immitating them in those
acts which are uplifting. Let us
learn the true use of our money
and how to carry on business. Let
us learn to put ourselves on level
with our means, live for something
else besides fine clothes, houses,
etc. These are only temporary
things. We have something far
higher than this to live for. Let
us live for the betterment of the
race. Finery does not make the

and that nothing more serious
than their return home would re-
suit, they offered no resistance.
But after the horse had been re-
moved from the harness, the men
quickly tied Caldwell to a tree.
Leaving the man gagged and help
less, they took the girl into the
woods near the scene of the hold
up.
After several hours of hard work
Caldwell managed to loosen his
hands and escape. He saw no signs
of Miss Bird or her captors, and
hastened back to Marlinton, al
though the crowd at first were de-
termined to lynch them, but cooler
counsel prevailed.
Miss Bird had to be carried to
Marlinton, and her condition is
serious. 1t is feared that the ex-
citement of the night and the
cruelties to which she was subject
ed may drive her into insanity.
This is the second crime of the
same nature which has occurred in
the same section within a year, the
former one having been committed
at Ronceverte about year ago.

ed not to lift the poor and despised
of mankind into the most perfect
and harmonious relationship with

The Bishop subscribes to the
Thomas Nelson Page idea on this
subject, which is indicated by the
following "What we have to do is
to stop interference with the ma
tural operation of natural laws
and leave each section to settle
the question as suits ITSELF"
1t is not difficult to realize and
appreciate the kind of settlement
we should have from that direction
and Herewith the Bishop is thor

standard or sort of sliding scale of
church ethics which might be reg

tion.
After all it is not question of
religion, SO much as it is one of
broad and deep humanity-the
ability to recognize and appreciate
the fact that all humanity where
ever found are equally the invol-
untary and mysterious expression
of an Omnipotence, "Who, of one
blood has made mankind to dwell
together upon the face of the
earth"
The clergy of whatever denomi-
nation, are sadly lacking in them
most beautiful, as well as the most
essential element in the character
of that Divine Teacher, that Man
of Sorrow, that loving Elder Broth
er, who do not feel impelled to ex-
tend an equal fullness of oppor-
tunity for the soul and body
growth of all the sons of men.
The want of this vital, humaniz-
ing, christianizing force was cruel
ly shown in an incident witnessed
by the writer few days ago.
A crowded car, speeding depart
ment folks to Office, took on an old
colored washerwoman with her
basket on her arm. When just
within the door, the grip was loos-
ed and the car leaped away so sud-
denly, that the old woman stagger-
ed forward halfway its length, and
fell to her knees. White women
and men seated on either side
gazed with stolid faces and in
some instances were SO inhuman
as to sniker, but none advanced to
help her rise and she regained her
feet with difficulty unassisted.
Has it not been written that "In
asmuch as ye have done it unto
one of these little ones, ye have
done it unto me-"
May we not, too, believe that
the poor black washerwoman was
also included in this tender plead.

The Race Question the Most Popular Problem
People It's Discussion in Pulpit, Press and Platform
Growing More Vigorous
Special to Colorado Statesman:

Special to Colorado Statesman:
If any one had been disposed to
believe that the race question in
America was taking up considerab-
ly less of the public time than for
merly, events and opinions, as ex-
pressed in leading magazines and
in the debates and addresses of i'm
portant conventions since the year
1907 was urshed in, must thorugh-
ly have convinced him of his error.
Not only is the question just as
prominent as ever but in some di-
rections there are evidences of All
awakening desire to at least seem
to consider it with tolerable kind
of fairness, which should be abun-
dant proof Of its vigorous life, no
less than sign of it's being advanc-
ed a degree or two on the docket
of thought and opinion.
Among the magazine articles
which are particularly luminous
and generally fair, are those of Mr..
Ray Stannard Baker in recent is
sues of the American on "The
Color Line"
These articles show quite gen
uine desire to get at the truth at
first hand. They show the real
genesis of the Atlanta riots-the
pressure and irritating influence of
a vicious and unscrupulous news
agency upon a depraved and pre-
iudiced rabble. They show how
largely the inoffensive, the dill
gent and self respecting, the in
telligent and the thrifty Negro, ex-
ceeds, both in numbers and infu-
ence, those who are shiftless and
discreditable.
The subject matter is strongly
emphasized by Photographic cuts
of persons, homes and places OF
worship and business, which speak
eloquently of high ideals in all
those things which make life a ben
ediction and the future a pleasur-
able anticipation.
Incidents expressive of the pre-
judice entertained against Negroes
of all classes are frequently given
and the admission is solemnly re-
corded, that the best class of whites
deplored the same and through
their committee, delegated to talk
over the situation with number
of representative Negroes, said to
the world that their prejudices were
both foolish and unreasonable.
The fact that any number OF
white persons in a southern locality
SO far suppressed their inclinations
and ignored their traditions is q
most hopeful sign and powerful
argument in favor of the belief
that the question of race has in nc
sense lost its interest for the Amer
lean people.

of the period of which we now
write, there is one which is most
interesting and must be of much
weight and influence.
Bishop FL. V. Satterlee of the
Episcopal diocese of Washington
in recent address to the conven-
ton of that denomination, has CIV
en- voice to opinions which are both
helpful and conflicting. The Bish-
op recognizes and approves the
high ground advocated by the
Apostles of the church in dealing
with the barbarous Cloths and Van
dals; Lombards and Huns; Danes
and Norsemen who flooded central
and southern Europe, and says if
the church is faithful to her mis-
sion, it will do as it has done to
the end of time. He says further,
SIT is true that the early church
never came into contact with the
Negro and that she had to do with
much stronger races of men, but
that this is no excuse for inactiv-
ity in America and that all histor-
ic lessons point the other way and
if it is true that the church has
helped these ether races in former
times it should certainly help this
weaker race and make it morally
strong"
In this sweeping and manly
generalization, the Bishop recog-
nizes and subscribes to the doc
trine of the fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man which is
most noble and generous, for in
the days of the races whom we
have just named it was the indi-
vidual condition and worth of man.
hood which suggested and controll-
ed his civic and social status.
The races then were not segre-
gated and legislated for separately
in church and state as now. Thus
in consideration of the Negro
question, in its relation to the
church, does the Bishop and other
modern day eclesiasts prove them
selves inconsistent and hereto
from the faith and action of the
early church.
The Bishop is duly mindful of
the seriousness of the problem
with which the church is confront
ed and says that if she is paraly-
zed with the consciousness of the
political and social obstacles with
which she will have to contend,
she is no true descendent of the
Apostolic church.
Stripped of all superduous YER
biage, the Bishop simply reaffirms
the usual attitude, that the church
probably feels itself too superior
and consequently is 80 narrow
that it will not permit itself to
take the Negro by the hand in all
true kindliness, and in the spirit
