There was a large assortment of plain
and fancy sewing.
One night each was devoted to
The entertainment of the Meharry,
Fisk and Pearl High School students.

classes or race groups of the citizens
of the republic Nor yet do we as
sent to the imputation that they are
worse than any other, and that they
compose in your midst an alien race
in the land where they have lived and
labored and loved for about three hun
dred years.
We speak the same language, we
obey the same laws; we read the same
books we worship with you the same
God; we have no blood in our veins
which has not been American for cen
turtles This blood we have shed free
ly with you for our common country
in four separate wars. We fought side
by side with you in the war for
American independence at Lexington
and Bunker Hill; in the war of 1872
under Jacl son at New Orleans under
Perry at Lake Erie; in the war to
save the Union in 1861 under Lincoln
and Grant and Butler and Farra-
gut; and in the war to free Cuba UNI
der Mckinley, Dewey and Schafter.
In these great struggles, we never
finched nor foulod, but struck with
our might on land and sea the embat-
tied lines of our nations foes. We
are Americans by right of birth, by
the blood she'd by the service we
have freely given to achieve the indie
pendence and to preserve the life OF
the republic against foreign and do
nestle enemies.
We are citizens of the United States
under the supreme law of the land,
! entitled as much to equality of civil
and political rights as all other men
| before the law. We have, therefore,
rights, sacred rights under the Consti-
tuition of our common country, such as
the rights to life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness.
The same-no more, no less that
white men possess: and, too, voice
in the government, state and national
exactly as other citizens enjoy
We do not ask at your hands any
special favors: we ask al the bar OF
this Christian nation nothing to which
we are not entitled under the law and
Constitution. We ask only for that
With belongs to us as a right, TO.
Justice, for equality of freedom, OF &C
lion and opportunity before the law
and in the industrial life of the land
North and South alike.
We ask for fair treatment, that VIZ
may. like other races, make the mos
and best of ourselves: that we may
rise and fall on our merit like othel
men in the political and industrla
life of the Republic.
We con not do this unless we ant
our children are given equal oppor

the laboring classes which possess
that right and that voice: indeed, at
the mercy of the privileged.
Now, badly as this race leader as a
labor class needs the ballot, needs ed
ucation at the public expense, needs
industrial opportunities to sell its la
Dor freely like other labor classes in
the Republic, in the South, by one
device or another, it is almost uni
versally deprived of the right to vote
In many cases, our children are de-
MED equal school privileges, and the
whole race in the North and in the
South is deprived of equal industrial
freedom to obtain work with other la
Dor classes.
We regret the fact that wherever
this race turns, that it is restricted
within certain narrow limits by the
color line
1t is thus far" in the North, and
thus far" in the South. 1t hears this
hostile, this terrible mo farther
North and South, alike.
This Christian Republic cannot with
safety look on with Indifference at this
state of affairs. The teachings Of
Christ are opposed to the treatment we
are receiving both in the North and
South.
We are told that we are the weaker,
the infant race. If true, then we
should be treated as the stronger
should treat the weaker, and the
mother the infant Indeed, the strong
er should bear the infirmities of the
weak.
We appeal to the friends of human
Iity to use their influence to rid the
Glorious country of mob violence,
which is sending so many to an un
timely grave.
We appeal to all who believe in fair
play to assist us in banishing from
our land the peonage and the con-
yict labor system, which are degrading
and destroying the very vestige of
manhood, and RELOCATING them to the
most CALLING serfdom.
We appeal to the liberty loving
men in authority to lend us their as
sistance by influence, by legislation
for the removal of the Jim Crow
car laws which have placed a stigma
upon the noblest and the best Of the
race, from the Bishops of the church
to the humbest-while at the same
time, we are required to pay the same
, fare for inferior accommodation.
We appeal to the Judges of the Su-
, preme Court to annul laws in viola
r ton of the Federal Constitution; to
members of the legislature of the
several Southern States where dis
| REIMBURSEMENT laws have been enact
. ed; and to the Congress of the United

 According to Sydney Brooks, London cor respondent for Harper's Weekly. New York enjoying @ condition of paradise. compared with the lot of the London tenant.
 The British landlord, he complains, Is a tyrant; and the long-lease system Is the basis of his tyranny. The system of twelve months leases that obtains fin New York is the Magma Charta of the tenant. It has done infinitely more for American happi- ness than either the Declaration of Inde- pendence or the divorce laws It makes landlords compliant and confers upon the tenant a status of something very like equality.

 what London landlords are apparently on the lookout for is a slave, and slave Methuselah. Virtually 1t is nothing more than the skeleton framework of home that he hands over to you for tWenty-one years The tenant does the rest.
 If he wishes to add new window or te put in the electric light 1t must be don't procession of tenants passing through eVerS London house, each one of them paying out money on some pet improvement or hii own-this one adding a billiard room. that one concentrating on gas cookihs range a third lavishing parquet flooring upon th' drawing room. fourth bringing the batn' room up to date, fifth installing heat ing system, and so on.

PULLING WOOL OVER PEOPLES
 EYES.


 For many years the people have been made to pay higher prices for woolen clothes than they ought to pay because of the claim of the Republican party that high tariff on woolens is nsces- sary in order to encourage the wool industry. The falsity of this is shown by a brief statement of The National Farmer. one of the leading agricul- tural papers of the United States. A few years ago, 1t says nearly all the sheep in this country were merinos, grown mainly for wool, and mutton was the incident. At this time majority of the sheep of the country are raised for mutton, and wool Is the incident" The Pittsburg Post says the tariff duties on wool under existing schedules average about 100 per cent ad valorem yet the Republicans claim that these enormous duties are neces- sary for the encouragement of the wool growing industry of the United States. The fact is that the duties are of little or no benefit to the sheep raiser. but are mainly for the benefit of the woolen goods trust. which will of course. as usual be a generous con- tributor to Treasurer sheldon's un- published campaign fund"

 Some time ago the War Department entered into contracts with English manufacturers for a quantity or knakl for troops on service In the Philip pines, Army officials who had carefully examined the cloth found II To pc cheaper and more serviceable than similar material made in American es- tabIishments. Of course. when the American manufacturers complained and the government protested that such a thing wouldn't happen again.
 Patriotism decrees that the American merchant shall equip American troops. No matter how high the price. no mat lar how inferior the grade of article to be supplied, 1t Is deemed right that preference shall be given to the do. nestle purveyor in the distribution or army contracts. The single minded natriots who sold shoddy overcoats for the use of Union soldiers in the Ctvil gentiemen who supplied the Army of Suban Invasion with embalmed beef. were encouraged to exercise their thrift bv the time-honored principle that 10 inc home contractor belongs the bpoils.

WHAT MAY COME.

The Hartford Times discusses some of the possibilities and probabilities that may come to the inhabitants of earth when airships become common methods of conveyance. One of those upon which it touches is the facility that will be afforded romantic young people desiring to pull off an eiope- ment. Under present conditions the elopers frequently encounter many diff faculties in getting away from irate fathers, watchful guardians and others bent on preventing the success of the loving couple.
 It will be quite different when the flying machine becomes a common and manageable attachment to our methods of Iocommotion. Then the young man will gently descend to where his best girl is waiting for him and--off they go. How will the parent be able to find their trail? Even Solomon ad- mitted that "ths way of q bird in the AlIt Ndb lOO AVA hAlAAs anu II that wise man was puzzled how can we common mortaIs hope to solve the nystery7 An airship doesn't leave any trail. so far as we are aware, and even if the father should see the route it 1 started he would not and could not be sure of It's course after 1t got beyond his range of vision in the dark. for the elopers would naturally select the night for their flight.

This is the season for farmers to be; srin to improve their cotton by seed Selection. It has been demonstrateo tfme and again, that the most prac.lcal way to improve cotton is by caretuIly Selecting seed each year from the pest nIants on the farm. If the farmer III % over his crop, mark the plants that gre the most vigorous and best frulted' that are free from all signs of disease, and then gather the cotton rom these nIants and carefully preserve them TOT nIanting next spring, he will soon nave strain of cotton that IS best suited 10 his farm. and much better than any that could be bought.

Some club or other select organiza- ton has labored and brought forth a list of the five greatest living Ameri- cans. Here they are, in the order named: Theodore Roosevelt. W. J.. Bryan. J. P. Morgan, President Elliott of Harvard. and Samuel Gompers. There they are, the very greatest of all great Americans. It would be in- teresting to submit ne list to one hun dred men of all beliefs, and see how many changes would be made in the order of the names. Having it under stood that no names are to be added or subtracted. the various changes In the order would form a good subject to study. Some would put Bryan above Roosevelt, some would in all prob ability put Gompers above either, and in the end those who made the list as we have printed 1t wouldn't recognize 1t in its changed arrangement.
