AN UNJUST MEASURE.

A bill introduced in the city coun-
Gil by Mr.. Exghaus, of the Ninth Ward
to condemn certain property running
from Broad to Grundy street, is an eff
fort to accomplish the removal of a
colored church from one of the main
streets of the city, that should fail.
There is no special need for street
at that particular place and the legis-
lative branch of our city government
should not be used to accomplish the
private desires of a few individuals.
The members of the church in ques-
ton have struggled to pay for their
property and It Is unjust that the city

riers at the local post-office, comment
ing upon our criticism of the invidious
distinction made in the placing of the
colored carriers at the rear of the gov
eminent employees in the parade in
honor of President Roosevelt, says:
THE Negroes participating in the pa
rade took their positions without as
signment at the rear of the line;" and
further: THE carriers participating in
the parade did so voluntarily" We
have it from an authoritative source
that it was ordered particularly that
the carriers should appear in clean uni
forms" This raises a question of We
racity between the Superintendent and
the authoritative source" which they
may thresh out between themselves.
We happen to know that other car
riers coming late and taking their
places at the rear of the line were ush-
cred to positions where they would be
in line with men of equal height, the
superintendent to the contrary not
withstanding.

SPREAD OF PROHIBITION.

The paramount political issue in the
South at present is prohibition. The
temperance wave is ingulfing that por-
tion of the country south of the Mason
and Dixon line so completely as to al
most give new meaning to the solid
South. Georgia goes dry on the first
of next year; Kentucky, the first of all
the whiskey producing states, sells
spurious liquors legally in less than a
dozen counties; after the first of next
month only three cities and one town,
viz: Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga
and Lafollette will license the saloon to
do business in this state. Texas and
most of the other Southern states have
restrictive laws which have placed them
in the same category with Tennessee
This week Jefferson County, Ala, in
which is located Birmingham, one of
the most progressive cities in the
South, voted to abolish the saloon.
That prohibition has proved a sue
cess in the rural districts few will
deny, but whether it is practical for
the larger cities is a question upon
which opinion varies. The experiment
of removing liquor from the larger CT
ties, such as those in Georgia, Knox
vile in this state, and Birmingham
in Alabama, will be watched with in
terest throughout the South. If these
cities do not suffer commercially, it
will be only a matter of time before
the whole South will be dry.

A FAD.

Movements for the improvement OF
conditions under which the Negroes OF
certain portions of the United States
are compelled to live seem to be fad.
There are leagues, councils, move
ments. brotherhoods and other organi-
cations almost innumerable, all dedi-
Gated to the purpose of improving our
race mentally, morally or financially
and to securing for our race those
rights guaranteed under the Constitu-
ton of the United States. Not con-
tent with the work of all these secular
ORGANIZATIONS some of the members OF
our race are so earnest in their fight
for our civil rights that they would
even make. a lever of our religious
bodies to obtain the desired ends. The
race is weighted down with sterile ma
tional organizations, yet the end of
their formation is not in sight.
But last week, the Rev. DR.. Allen
Allensworth, until recently chaplain
in the United States Army, issued a
call from Los Angeles, Cal, for meet
ing at which certain phases of the So
called Negro Problem will be discussed
and, if found advisable, plans made
for the segregation of our race in some
one portion of the United States where
we would be free from Jim Crowism,"
and Acknowledgement
Without entering into discussion
of the merits of the plans or the sub
iects mentioned by Dr. Allenworth for
discussion, we are constrained to ask
have we not sufficient national organi-
cations with practically the same
avowed purposes as those announced
in the call? 1t would seem to us that
either the Niagara Movement or the
Afro-American League might very
properly discuss the questions outlined
in the call if DR.. Allensworth, as a
member, would bring them up for con-
sideYation. This would at least save
the formation Of another organization.
Most if not all of these movements,
leagues and other organizations of a
like character, national in scope, are
forces from which no tangible results
are obtained. They have high ideals
but fail to accomplish anything. The
main defect with most of them is that
though they are planned on democratic
lines they are really aristocratic in
their workings For example, take the
most successful secular Negro organi
cation in the cOuntry-excluding Of
course, the secret organizations-tht

Elijah p. Lovejoy, the Martyr.

To The Nashville Globe:
November the seventh will be the
SEVENTEEN anniversary of the Martyr
dom of Elijah P. Lovejoy, he whose
life was inundated upon the altar of
freedom, a sacrifice to pro-slavery hate.
His was noble and unselflsh life dedi-
Gated to the noblest of causes that OF
human liberty Along with Freder-
lex Douglass, Wendell Phillips, Will

Stowe, Whittier, the poet, and Henry
Ward Beecher, the greatest divine
America has ever produced, he set him
self to the task of reaching and awak
ening the public conscience to the helm
Gus crime Of the centurieS-slaVery
He was not insensible to the personal
danger to be incurred by his espousal
of the cause of the downtrodden and
oppressed black man. But, after count
ing up the cost, he felt that if by
throwing his life into the scales 1t
would help arouse the nation from it's
lethargy to the immensely Of the evil
of slavery and would ultimately result
in the liberation of his suffering broth
er in black, he resolved that the sacr
fee would not be too great. That he paid
the price eXacted of him for his de-
Tense of the helpless is history, glori-
Gus, immortal history, sacred to every
black man throughout this country,
and will be to the last syllable of time.

through all time, the emblazoned eX-
ponent of the highest, truest and no
blest motive that ever stirred or actu-
ated the human heart.
These men were more than mere
heroes as is implied by the common
acceptation of that term, for by chance
or accident men are sometimes lifted
into the limelight as heroes, without
any previous knowledge of what is
about to transpire in which they are
to take such part as to merit the hon
ored appellation and the admiration Of
their fellowmen; but it, was otherwise
with these men, they were martyrs in
the truest. best sense. They pondered
well the task before they attempted it's
accomplishment; but once their minds
were made up, they pushed onward
with will and determination toward
working out the desire of their souls
till death cut short their efforts.
Pardon the depression. The thought
of this communication is intended to
touch upon the duty owed by the peo-
ple who once were slaves of common

DEMANDS
AN OPEN
RIVER
Canneryman Hume Of Curry COuny
At Salem

Hon. r. d. Hume, of wedderburn,
Is in the city, making fight for the
opening of the Rogue river, so that
the salmon industry will not be-
come extinct. AS all know, for Ave
years past water power dams have
been constructed without fishways.
and millions of fine fish have died
in the river on account OF inability
to get to the spawning grounds. The
result has been fatal to the industry.
The catch on the lower river this
year is reduced to almost nothing,
and the end is not yet. The failure
to build fishways over the dams, and
the wanton destruction OF the fish
lery has been carried so far that IL
the state does not step In ana en-
force the state laws the expenditures
for hatcheries, canneries and the
homes and property of both fisher
men and owners of the grounds will
be destroyed.
Mr.. Hume has developed a system
of Feeding the young spawn that has
resulted in stocking the river as fast
as che fish we're taken out. but the
|obstructions in the streams for mills
and power plants has more than
Iovercome the benefits OF artificial
propagation by private enterprise, by
the state and national government.
The whole matter is TO be gone over
by the state fish commission and
State Warden Van Dusen Is to be i'm
vited to Salem to meet Mr.. Hume and
hear his propositions. The general
public is deprived OF It's fish supply
from the blocking and destruction OF
the Rogue river. IL is to be hoped.
from the standpoint of the rest of
the people who do not live on the
river, that the salmon industry will
not be allowed to be destroyed by a
few grasping corporations on the up
per river. Mr.. Hume says II for two
days In the week there could be un-
obstructed runs for the Ash the whole
length OF the river the fish would
propagate themselves. and the sup
ply could never be exhausted. But
the greed of man Will destroy the
richest gifts OF nature. II left unre-
strained.
Governor Chamberlain and the
FISH warden are planning a trip to
Curry county at an early day to make
n personal investigation.

ROSE CITY
SHY ON
BUNTING
Seventeen Bolts All Available For Dec.
Grating the City

With only II bolts of pink and
green bunting, the Official colors OF
the rose fiesta. Portland is not maxi
ling as extensive a showing In the
decorating line as the occasion war
rants, says Portland paper. The
lack of ornamentation is due to the
Wholesale supply houses.
| over a month ago the committee
announced the colors for decorating,
thereby giving the wholesale mer-
chants time In which to secure a
stock of bunting. One store had IL
bolts, and this was all the green
and pink In the city, The largest
jobbing house In the Northwest Is DO
Gated In Portland, and this estab-
stock. Although the managers of
the wholesale houses knew that
there would be heavy call for the
lpink and green bunting, each de-
pended on the other TO supply the
demand, This proved piece of
misplaced confidence all around,
with the unpleasant consequence of
robblng the city of decorations.
Comparatively few stores and
buildings have been decorated with
the colors, and these are not espe-
clally elaborate, as the II bolts of
bunting were made 10 go as far as
possible. The early birds, as usual.
bought all they could, and the pro-
crastinator now finds that the mar
ket is exhausted.
The rose carnival promised to see
Portland decorated as II has seldom
been ornamented before on other fes
tive occasions; but through the lack
OF enterprise on the part of the sup
ply houses only q few decorations
are visible. Fourth OF Judy decora-
tions are now being resorted to, and
the absence OF pink and green Is be-
ing remedied, In a measure, by red,
white and blue. and sometimes yell
low and red.
While the colors selected by the
carnival committee are most appro-
PIRATE and are common. the whole
salers do not carry them in stock.
This is n drawback TO certain ex-
tent. Had the market been proper
ly attended TO, nearly every building
and store would today be gay with
colors.
At several places the decorations
were completed before the bunting
supply was exhausted, These are Just
enough to indicate what could have
been accomplished had the supply
been adequate. II will teach a les
son. however. for next year, when tho
rose fiesta is held, the merchants
will see that there is enough bunt-
Ing for every one.
