PREJUDICE CALLED DIS
EASE.
Continued from last week

1t is gratifying that here in
Missouri and through the cOun-
try it has been proven of late las
in the splendid defense of the
negro soldiers in the Brownsville
incident). as often in the past,
that black free men and white
free men are at heart brothers.
1t is urged that Afro. Americans
in Missouri with self-respect cul-
tivate and cherish the friendship
of their white neighbors, and
that our white neighbors grasp
with a cordial sympathy the ex-
tended hand Of their less fortu-
nate brothers, lifting as they
climb, Each for all and all for
each contains the solution Of
many of the problems which fret
and disturb our American life
We make the following recO-
lamentations:
/. That we realize the impor-
lance of educating the children
in head, hand and heart; of hav-
ing capable moral teachers for
the young, and that parents give
the teachers their hearty support
Each year should bring a de-
creasing per cent. of ~illiteracy
%throught the state.
9. That our ministers be con-
~secrated, qualified men. We urge
that ordainlng councils of all de-
nominations demand a higher
standard of spiritual and intel
lectual qualifications in candida
ties for the ministry. An immCr-
al shiftless minister is a reproach
and a source of much harm to
a community. Let our Christian
ity express itself in practical,
helpful service Let our houses
of worship be neat and attract
i've.
3. That there be a systematic
persistent campaign carried on
the year round in every country
city and town against intemper-
ance and vagrancy. The ruin to
life and character among the peo-
pie traceable to spirituous liquors
aud beer drinking is appalling,
Afro-Americans are no better or
no worse than others, We sim.
ply war; you that intemperance
is the mother of vice, idleness
and crime, and anyone SO bound
is doomed.
4. That every Afro-American
begin at once to purchase his
own home. It makes for thrift
and economy, and gives a posi-
tior in the community, which IN
the end will be recognized to be
a property owner. Let our homes
though humble, be tasteful and
neat with grass and flowers
around.
5. We recommend that our men
. go into business and that we
stand together and encourage
each other IN negro enterprises.
The negro has been d tremendu-
|, Gus factor in the production of
the wealth of this country in the
past, as in the present, as the
. vast wealth of the cotton produc-
ton of the South to-day shows.

Where bill bearers never come
And debts are never paid.

FRIENDS OF HAU
ARE ENCOURAGED
OVER PROSPECTS
WaShingtonianS Believe
in Innocence of
Law Professor.
Expect Communication of
Sentence If New
Trial Is Refused.

The Washington friends of Carl Hau,
the former George Washington Univer-
sity professor, now under sentence of
death for the murder Of his mother-in-
law in Germany. have been encouraged
by, the information received from Ber-
lin that the. Grand Duke of Baden IS
opposed To he inhiction OF the death
penalty.
May Serve 40 Years.
It is stated that in event Hau should
fail TO receive a new trial, application
for which has been made, that the
grand duke will commute Hau's SEN
tence to life imprisonment which. de-
Quoting for good behavior, viii mean
about twenty years servitude.
While Hau's Washington friends and
acquaintance believe strongly in his
innocence and that he has been rail-
roaded through unfair German courts,
it is gratifying to learn that the ex-
treme penalty will not be inflicted, even
II Hau is finally not adjudged guiltless.
Psychologists Opinion.
Prof. Aschaffenburg, a noted psy-
chologist, in attendance upon the Hau
trial. has advised Haus attorneys of
fis belief in his innocence. which is in
line with the statements of other noted
Germans who watched the trial closely.
Attorney Ralph Burton, of this city,
Hau's legal representative here, is still
in New York, but IL was said at his
ONCE this morning that no information
had as yet been received by him as 20
the future plans Of Haus German
counSelOrs.

Farmers Institute Work in New
Country Opens at Hayes.
While farmers institute work has
been carried on all over the state east
of the Missouri river for several years,
the first attempt to get the work
started west of the river was made
when Prof. Cole of the state agricult-
ural college. Prof. Wheaton, state pure
food commissioner, and one Of the in
stitute lecturers, started on trip to
Hayes, where they will begin work,
speaking especially on corn, forage
and dairy interests. From Hayes they
will go to Midland, and will hold a
third meeting at Fort Pierre.
The last legislative session provided
for two state experimental farms west
of the Missouri, one to be located on
the North Western line west from this
city and the other on the Milwaukee
line west from Mobridge. While the
party is out, Prof. Cole will look over
the country with view of selection
Of location for one of these farms.
The work on these farms is to be

Frightens Horses.
The fact that his team became
frightened and ran away saved j. nj nj
Sweeney, who recently purchased the
Stablien farm near Aberdeen, from q
hold-up.
IS Sweeney had been in the country on
business and was returning to Aber.
deem rather late. Just as he got to
the railroad crossing at West Hill his
horses were abruptly stopped and a
gruff voice commanded Sweeney to
hold up his hands. Just at that mo.
ment something struck Sweeney over
the right eye and the horses at the
same time, becoming frightened, start
ed to run away
The blow he had received stunned
Sweeney and it was some time before
he could get the horses under control
When he did so he turned and drove
back, but could find no. trace of his as.
sailants. He continued on to Aber.
deem, where his wound was dressed
and the attempted hold7up reported to
the police. No trace of the bandits
has SO far been secured.
