Eliot's Narrow Position.

Last week we read with great
surprise the address of President
Eliot of Harvard University, be-
fore the students of Berea College
in Kentucky, which has been an
institution of co-education of both
races until the state laws prohib-
tied it. Then professor Eliot
going down there and saying
that co-education was the thing
and colored students should not
be allowed to attend with white
students, and said the only reason
Harvard did not debar them was
there was so very few there. We
do not agree with this distin-
guished scholar, for he gave no
sound reason for separation.
Certainly education broadens a
man and makes him free. The
two races must live, work, learn,
trade and build up human charac-
ter togather here; why not edu-
cate togather. We speak the
same tongue, live under the same
flag and pay tribute to the same
government. Then let us all join
hands togather for the good Of
all the American children. We
are much surprised at the presi-
dent of so great an institution to
have become so narrow or talk
ing to suit the the narrow whims
of the prejudiced South.

Correspondents take Notice.

Notice. TO our correspondents and
subscribers in general, for the last or
10 months we have been crowded for
space for our news, owing to numerous
correspondents from the different towns
of the middle west and the many new
towns that are clamoring to have space
in our paper, also the many worthy
papers, essays and poems often sent
for publication and with our limited
space each week, that we cannot ac-
comodate them all, in fact we have
often left out the editorials and race
echoes to accommodate our outside news
gathers; but many of our readers like
to have editorials to read each week,
therefore we have decided that we will
discontinue our regular correspondents
where we have less then ten actual
subscribers; news can be sent from
those points occasionally. We also ask
our correspondents to coniense each
article and be brief with .your letter.

MISSOURI.

Each recurring session of the
Missouri Legislature some little
prejudiced would-be legislator
will introduce bill to compel the
railroads to operate separate cars
for the races. True the bills
have always been defeated by the
good, honest and right thinking
men, regardless of party. So we
hope the present bill that is now
pending will be defeated, al
though this time the bill has
already'passed the senate. While
we@ @deplore the uncouth action
and Hbad conduct. of few of our
.peopleFpn those cars, but don't
condemn the many for the way a
few bad ones may act; for there
are many bad white people and
you do not condemn the white
race for what their bad ones does.
Therefore we ask you to judge
us by our merits. The good hon
est citizen must join hand in
hand to route out sin, ignorance
and rowdyism in all classes and
races.

THE CLANSnAN,

This unreasonable, fire eating
Negro hating play was presented
at one of our local opera houses
last Wednesday. The colored
people, almost as whole, pro-
tested against it being put on;
while their protest was right,
Just and even felt, they did sue
coed in getting resolution
through the city council whereby
it will be unlawful for it or simi.
lar plays to be given here. This
resolution was passed last Mon
day through the special effort Of
R. N. Hyde, 5. Joe Brown, ]. G.
w illiams and other race men.
Mr.. Brown framed the resolution
which is to the credit Of our race.
After the play was given the
Mayor, Geo. w. Mattern, who
attended, gave an interview il
the evening paper that there was
nothing bad about it. We must
say that our Mayor Is dull Of
