Owing to the vigilance Of the postal

contained the villainous speech OF
Senator Tillman in Chicago, in which
speech TO hell with the law was a
conspicuous and vehement utterance.

SHOW US The WAY.

The idea seems to be growing that
in some way, the law abiding, peace
able Negro is responsible and should
be held accountable for the misdeeds
of the bad Negro. From many sour
ces comes the demand to the leading
Negroes to restrain the criminal Gle.
ment among US. Our own gatherings
not only condemn crime, which is the
proper thing to do, but they go further
and urge all to do everything in their
power to lessen and restrain the GRIM
inally disposed. So insistant has be-
come this sort of demand that there
seems nothing else to be done than
to discover the means in our power
and then apply the means to the case
il hand.
But what are the means? Which
way?
If we had an example, an iIlustra-
ton Of the thing requiBed of us, our
power of imitation would make sue
cess certain. But turn where we may,
we find nothing to parallel the feat
which the good element among us is
expected to perform. The criminals
in all other races are looked after by
the sworn officers of the law and the |
good people are held to have done |
their duty when they themselves have
remained law abiding. Nowhere do We |
find the law abiding element among
white men, Cinnamon, Mexicans or
Italians saddled with the responsible
ity of keeping the criminal element
among them from the commission of
crime.
But take it for granted that it is
correct and just to hold the good re-
sponsible for the crimes Of the bad.
and that they should prevent or re-
strain the eVilly inclined, the para
mount question arises, how are you 60
ing to do it? Some weeks ago a half
dozen Negroes in Houston were cut
and shot by other Negroes, all with
in twenty-four hours. Straightway
the papers urged upon the leaders to
do something to put stop to so much
crime. But what Is that something?
This was not mentioned.
The Negro is putting forth every
effort permitted to restrain criminals.
The most powerful deterrent is not al
lowed him-the machinery of the law.
He is not allowed an officer of his
own race. who, knowing all the Sc
crets Of the dives haunted by Negroes,
could no more towards breaking I'D
such places and in running the Negro
criminals and "Vags" to earth than
anyone else. Why doesn't the good
Negro do this? Simply because it is
not his business. He has something
else to do. Such influences as the
gospel, education, newspapers, etc., do
not reach the criminal Negro, and
there is no law to make them fire.

Grand Opera From Wagner
Featured in Organ Recital.

Devoid OF stage setting, and all the
accessories that go to make grand opera
a feast for eye and ear, the Wagner re-
cital given yesterday afternoon at the
tabernacle by John j. Mcclellan for a
few thousands of appreciative music low
ers, lacked nothing to make an hour of
exquisite pleasure to those who delight
In the music of the ponderous German.
The announcement that not only
Wagnerian program, but also the final
recital Of the season, was to be given
brought out goodly crowd, despite the
threatening weather. and a few moments
later, after the first chords of the pre-

The number from "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana" was a diversion, but here. too,
the wonderful Vox Humane awed the
listeners by its wierdness, the tone first
tender true soprano, and then swell
ing into a veritable host of voices.
But the choicest offering of the hour
was reserved for the last number-the
wonderful, stirring overture from Tam
hauser."
Mr. Mcclellan, in adapting this final
expression of the great masters genius,
essayed a most difficult task and the
reception it received from Wagner low
ers in the audience proved his reward.
Given for the first time on the great
organ, the crashing tones rang out and
probably never before had the instrument
been put TO its best.
Although the overture seems absolute
ly to require an orchestra. and an ex-
ceptional one at that, yesterday after
noon it was proven that the overture
may be given successfully on the organ,
unaccompanied.
The Wagnerian afternoon was given
by Mr.. Mcclellan at the request of many
friends who longed to hear the har-
monies of their favorite composer given
on the huge instrument
many expressions of regret were heard
that the series of recitals should be ter
minated by today's musical offerings.

FOOD STOPPED IT.
Good Food Worth More Than a Gold

To find a food that will put an abso-
lutte stop to running DOWN is better
than finding a gold mine.
Many people when they begin to run

without finding a food that Will stop

the most nourishing food known and
