THE DOUGLASS HOME

Tuskegee Institute. Ala. February 7,
I9o7.-It is now nearly twelve years
since Frederick Douglass, to whom the
Negro people owe more than to any
other man OF our race, for the part he
took in securing our freedom, died in
Washington. His home at Anacostia.
in the suburbs of Washington, still re-
mains, however, and an effort is now
being made to preserve this house with
its memories and traditions and make
it a permanent memorial to Douglass
and the Negro people.
An association, known as the Fred
ericN Douglass Memorial and Histor-
ical Association, has been formed to
effect this purpose he people of our
race have a rare opportunity to honor
the memory OF Frederick Douglass and
TO show their reverence and love for
the man who. during the trying times
before and after the war, embodied

IS no reason that law should be en-
acted TO prevent internlarriages. II
the gentleman from Tennessee thinks
that he can prevent the marriage of
the two races he had better try his
hand at preventing the drinking of
whisky in the Capital
1t seems 10 me that Southern Demo-
Gratis get greatly disturbed at times. It
also seems that the Negro can always
make an issue He is the target for
political parties He is an eyesore to
Democrats socially as well as politi-
cally, and they must take him as a
preteXt tc keep the poor white trash
in line. Gentlemen, don't you know
that the colored people have more trou-
BILE with the poor white trash than any
other class of people? There are good
people in all races, but the poor white
trash in this city is a menace to So
ciety. They are just as bad as the
poor and common Negro. In the street
cars they imagine that they are better
than the most refined and educated col
ored person. A well-bred white person
has no prejudices. 1t is this class that
impedes progress and white civiliza-
ton. | have seen this class in Con-
gress also, and this is the class that
continually cries for separation. The
educated Congressman never thinks of a
colored man imposing upon him social
ly. 1t is only the hayseed Congress
man or the man who can only get no.
toriety by attacking the Negro. The
Negro has given many a poor Congress
man a reputation such as he never had
before.
In conclusion permit me TO say con-
slider wisely this bill of Congressman
Simms, because it will cut both ways,
and the white man will be more affected
than the colored man. Ask our Chief
of Police for a list OF the houses in a
certain section of the city opened espe-
ciallv for white men with coIored in
mates. feel confident when you get
his report it will surprise you and

THE OLD HOMESTEAD OF FRED ERICK DOUGLASS
KET1W HOME OF THE SAGE.

Washington, DC, Dec. Y, 1906.
Dear Mr.. Washington:
There IS an encumbrance OF fifty
four hundred dollars ($s,4oO), bearing
@ Der cent. interest, payable semi-an-
nually. against the Douglass property.
This property consists Of about four
teen acres IN the heart of Anacostia,
on a hill giving a beautiful view Of
the Potomac River and city for several
miles. It IS the opinion of experts
thar when the Government completes
the new bridge and the reclamation Of
the fats, this property will be worth
at least $1,000 an acre. Its actual worth
is now $500 an acre. 1t IS exempt
from taxes by the act Of Congress in

CHILDLABOR LAW CHANGE.
Commissioners Recommend that JHVcn
lie Court Haze Jurisdiction.

At the instance of Judge William II.
DeLacy, of the Juvenile Court, the Com
missioners have transmitted 10 Senator
Dolliver. chairman Of the Senate Com
nittee on Education and Labor, an
amendment to the District child labor
bill. giving the Juvenile Court jurisdic-
ton in all cases arising under its pro-
visions.
Judge DeLacy's reasons why jurisdic-
ton should be placed in his court are
as follows:
"First-That this court has been es-
tablished to save the children to them
selves, and consequently to the commu-
nity. and matters affecting child life
would seem, therefore, to be more prop
erly cognizable here.
"Second-This court, in order to do
its complete work, should be charged
with all criminal and quasi criminal
jurisdiction in matters occurring in the
domestic relations of parent and child,
guardian and ward, and master and
servant. where the latter is a minor.
"Third-The child labor sought to be
prevented by the proposed bill has been
shown to lead TO arrested development,
physically, mentally and morally, and,
therefore, has a tendency to determine
the child toward violation of law and a
life of crime, which, again, this court
has been established TO prevent as far
as possible.
Fourth 49, The proceedings in this
experience has shown, are calculated to
bring to light the conditions to be for
bidden by the proposed law. Here IN
ouiry IS made into the family life and
the antecedents of the child, with view
to the prescription of the proper cor
rection. rather than punishment for the
ogense committed"

The Association needs at least the fifty
four hundred dollars 70 lift the mort
gage. In the course of time about nine
acres of the property can be cut into

proceeds of such sale Cedar Hill could
be endowed with ample funds to meet
the wants Of the Douglass Memorial

porting to have been written by the
secretary of war, telling him to be a
