PREJTDICE CALLED DIS
EASE.

Uuo oU' L dul Oua pei Ou oiy IL.
There were 200 delegates present
from twenty five widely scattered
counties of the state. The pur-
pose of the convention was to
unite the negro people of the
state in order as a unit to coop
crate with the white people of
the state in preventing class leg
islation and injustice and to ele
vate the standards OF citizenship
among the negroes, and to en-
courage them upon the higher
and substantial lines of life.
The convention adopted as its
name, 'The Negro Constitutions
al League of Missouri. Bishop
Abraham Grant was made presi-
dent and Rev. George E. Stevens
ofiSt. Louis was elected secretary
A constitution was adopted in
which provision is made for the
formation Of branch leagues in
in every county, city and town of
the state.
The address from the Negro
Constitutional League of Missou-
ri to the people of the state and
nation, read by Secretary. Geo
rye e. Stevens, D. D., July II,
follows:
1t is known to all careful stu
dents of the conditions in our
country that we are passing
through serious times. There
is no question so vital, no prob
lem of our American life SO diff
cult of solution and none so un.
fairly treated as the SO called
negro question. The essential
principles of our government and
the Christian faith are involved
in this questisn. Although we
deplore that the unjust discrim-
nation against US as a people
denies US equal privileges along
various lines of industry and
otherwise, it is gratifying to see
that in every section Of our state
and country men of African de-
see 1t are holding, in the employ
of our white neighbors, places Of
responsibility and large remuner-
alton.
We are grateful for this evil
dence of fraternity and confidence
and along this line we plead for
Afro Americans still wider op-
portunities for equal service, that
trades, unions, firms and indi-
viduals among our white fellow
citizens would be chivalrous and
just il welcoming the colored
mechanic and employe according
to merit with no regard to color
and rejecting him as an individu-
al and never as a class, and then
only for demerit and ineficiency
Race prejudice is widespread
facilitating miasma, which is af
fecting balefully the common
veal. 1t is lowering the tone of
national morals; it is brutallzing
aud corrupting the whole land,
and even giving to the people
false view Of God and his holy
institutes, white and black, rich
and poor, all shouldstand togeth'
ee to extirpate the prejudice of
race, as a deadly disease, for the
souls of the people in general
seem to be darkening and shriv-
cling with resentment and hate as

PRICE OF RAISING THE LID
One Hundred Dollars is Contributed
by John MartiE to school
Fund.

John Martig, who was arrested Sunday
evening by Sergeants Vanous and Samuel
son for keeping open his saloon at 1902
Howard street in violation Of the Slocumb
law. was fined 500 and costs after pleading
guilty TO the charge of keeping a disor-
derby house. His bartender. Florance Thies-
sen, who was arrested in the raid of the
saloon, was discharged.
Martig had intimated to Chief Donahue
he would plead guilty. but hurriedly
changed his mind when he found that such
action would place his license in jeopardy.
In conversation Wednesday morning with
city Prosecutor Daniel, Martig said he
would fight the case If the charge was for
selling liquor on Sunday. but agreed to
plead guilty If he was charged with the
lesser offense OF keeping disorderly house.
Mr. Daniel was OF the opinion that the
evidence of Martig's having sold liquor
was none too strong, so filed the complaint
on the disorderly house charge, to which
Marug pleaded guilty.

SOPHISTICATED BRANDY.
French Makers Are Adopts at Manu-.
featuring False Varieties.

French brandy today is, In the main
made from alcohol OF grain. potatoes

yards, all of whom are distillers, have
become SO clever in the manipulation
Of alcohols and the accompanying
drugs that they deliberately manufac-
ture brandy of any required year
or quality.
The mention OF the years 1S49 or
1876, for instance, In an invoice or on
label, means simply that the article
Is presumed to have the taste or
color OF the brandies Of those years
The increasing importation Of Ger
man potatoes and beet alcohols into
the Charante ports is an additional
proof that the less brandy that is
consumed the better for the health
and intellect of the consumer.
1t is, moreover. becoming a custom
to sell the brandy in IL bottle cases.

lishment at least. In operation at

The Presidential Salute.

The American presidential salute
Is twenty one guns, as Is the English
royal salute; but the reason why just
twenty one guns are fired is obscure.
Antiquarians have put forth different
theories as TO this. One states that
seven was the original salute; but
that in England this was given three
times, once for Scotland. once Tor
Ireland, and once for England. Some
declare that the American salute is
twenty one guns because the sum OF
the numbers l, Z. 7, tthe year OF
the Declaration of INDEPENDENCE is
