MRS. TERRELL SPEAKS.

Battle Creek, Mich, Nov. l.
Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, presi-
dent of the National Association
of Colored Women, delivered a
furious inventive against the peo-
pie of the South before the Purity
congress here tonight.
mo servant girl is safe in the
homes of the white people," she
declared, "and no mother who con-
siders her daughters honor would
allow her to become a servant with
out first requiring references.
She declared that all of the states
of the South had plotted to shut
out the children of the blacks from
an education, and that the courts
had refused to protect colored wo-
men. Mrs. Terrell was especially
bitter in her condemnation of the
women of the South, some of whom
she quoted as saying the Negro
women were devoid OF honor.
"Many of our rich men will
gladly give thousands to help my
race" she said, "but refuse to give
an honest, honorable, educated Ne.
gro respectable employment"
John III. Roberts, delegate of the
Alliance of Homer of London, Eng,
urged that young men and women
about to mary pass not only a
mental and intellectual examina-
tion, but a physical examination
before license is issued to them.
He urged the suppression of i'm
moral literature and liquor.
Though once an actor himself.
Mr.. Roberts declared that purity
workers must antagonize the
theater.

Business depression spreads and
the white exodus goes on. But
the Asiatic trader survives and
grows in numbers. He is thrifty
and of good habits. But how is
the sub continent to be made the
home of white nation that will
be source of strength to the Brit.
ish empire?
America has her race problem,
but she has no monopoly of them.
Truth to say, England and her col
onies have more of them than we,
and they are mostly quite insoluble.

The Colorado statesman., 1907-11-09

Wherever the tribes of mankind
strive to dwell together, there
springs up the eternal race prob
lem. says the Erie (Pa } Herald.
It is a problem with myriad var
liant forms, but as old as the Tower
of Babel. Moses solved one race
problem by leading his oppressed
people out of Egypt. Their de-
scendants in many lands today
know the bitterness of persecution
and oppression that spring from
racial hatred 1t has been the
never broken rule that when fate
has forced the men of two distinct
races to dwell in the same land,
their relations must be that of
master and subject. Parity is not
possible, for one must rule and the
other serve, one must rule and the
other serve, one mnst command
and the other must obey. 1t is a
rule founded not on justice, but on
that far more powerful principal
prejudice.
While men in all parts of the
globe are liable TO similar troubles.
says the Minneapolis journal,
British Columbia is now in the
throes of an acute racial outbreak.
Australia is legislating against the
Japanese, the Chinese and the
Hindu. The Transvall, made al
most autonomous by the generosi-
ty of its imperial conqueror, is
threatened with the dire faith of
being utterly Asiaticized. Late
advices from that South African
colony gave details of a curious
situation that has arisen in con-
sequence of the colonial govern
ment's effects to make it a white
mans country.
The South African blacks are
not troublesome, but the British
subjects that have focked in from
India are very much SO. There
are $4,000 of them in the Transvaal
and many have become prosperous
merchants and business men.
1t was resolved, first of all, to
find out what Asiatics were entitled
to live there and law was passed
requiring them all to register fol
Identification purposes. This law
has been met with passive resis.
tance. The government has been
unable to secure the registration
and is now confronted with the
anomalous situation of having lO
600 Asiatics who are liable to fine,
imprisonment and eventual depor.
tation. Literal enforcement of the
law is evidently impossible. Ano
vet the Asiatics are gradually
squeezing the Europeans out ot
earning their livelihood.

Rev. David S. Kennedy, mod er-
ator of the Synod of Pennsylvania
of the Presbyterian church, adj
dressing Fridays session, censured
the church for its failure to give
the proper support to the institu-
tions it maintains for the educa-
tion of the colored youth of the
State. He said: There are fif-
teen such institutions with 5000
pupils, and they do not receive as
much money as is given to the one
institution at Tuskegee, and much
of that is contributed by Presby-
terians. This race question is be-
ing considered not alone by the
churches, but by all thinking men
and women. How can the Presby-
terian church dare to neglect this
problem? 1t must be faced. You
can't paint the conditions too black
for the moral conditions of the Ne
groes are only one true solution of
it. 1t comes to us from Christ.

MAY CREATE AN ISSUE
INTERNATIONAL CON-
FERENCE AT BUENoS AIRES.

The Argentine proposal to be laid before
the approaching second Hague conference,
looking to the holding of third interna-
tional conference in Buenos Aires in 1910,
will, 1t is expected, result in bringing the
conference face to face with the PROPOSE
ton to give the conference permanency
and provide for periodic gatherings. In
that event there are certain to be some clev-
er diplomatic fencing and more less ami
mated discussion, for the fact is that some
of the Great Powers have been dragged into
the second conference unwilingly by force
of public opinion and are believed to be
strongly averse to binding themselves to
participate in continuous round of meet
inss at which they would be constantly
confronted with the danger OF having to
discuss or even vote upon delicate interna-
uonal questions that they would much
rather leave untouched. Such for instance
was the proposition to limit international
ornaments, which came near causing the
abandonment of the second conference
even after all of the invitations had been
accepted. 1t may reasonably be appre
hended that in connection with the plea
for conference in 1910 the whole subject
OF creating permanent conference, with
set periods for meeting, will come under
consideration.
