SCHOLARLY SPEECH
BY BLACK PRIEST
Is Delivered Before a Large
and Mixed Crowd in
the Church.

A lecture was delivered at the A.
NJ. e. church last night by the Rev.
c. F. Checlzzli, an Abyssinian, a rec
ognlzed theological. historical eth
nological author, who the Boston
Transcript claims is "a remarkable
man." and the London Times says is
"a man whose command of the Eng
lish vocabulary, original thought and
educational prominence give him the
place of the worlds greatest black
philosopher"
In part he said: "The critics who
reject the equal psychological devel-
opment and endowment of the blacks
by God must be sympathized with as
men incapable of grasping that hom-
ogenous essence. that originally em-
anated from the anthropological do
main and diversified by imparting in
to the evolved chronological species
and equal share of psychological for
ces. Can 1t be reasonable and es-
tabllshed that there was creative
lnferiority OF the black race? This
may be the doctrine of the political
demagogue, catch-penny orator and
braying asilnines of human idiocy;
but those being endowed with higher
reason, intellectual capacity and his
torical knowledge can, If the scales
OF ignorance and selishness be drop
ped and destroyed. find that when q
white philosopher, Plato, unravelled
ESSENTIAL mysteries. black Apo and
Philo scattered fragmcntary codes OF
metaphysical essences for man; when
white Hecklar had sounded a clas-
sical harp, a black Asiatic Homer had
unfurled the harp of Illiadism: when
white Xenophen had climbed his
toric mounts, black Moses had sur.
passed historic mounts and became
a geologist, an anthropologist, pro-
phet and legislator: when fair Alex
ander laid hold Of military laures, n
back Homer made mounts to trem-
BILE degraded. arrogant soldiers and
won the glory OF angels.
America has no race problem to
be solved, should political agitators,
intellectual imbeciles. and catch-pen-
ny orators be taught to know that Il
is a known fact that America is a
white mans country and the blacks
will never control 1t, but viii only be
fitted here until their perfection be
reached. when their lestiny shall be
extended"
A large audience Of whiet and col
ored people heard him. He win

In view OF this situation, the

The first reply to the Grant letter

Senator ]. H. McDermott, of Nor

Morgantown, Sept. IA. 1908.

Republicans, in Republican conven-
ton at Charleston, West Virginia,
July sth and 9th. 1908, and was
nominated as an elector for the Re-
publican candidates for president and
vice-president. Mr.. Taft and M.
Sherman.
accepted the honor with this un-
derstanding and know Of no reason
why my name should be used by
any other political organization than
the regular Republican party Of this
state and certainly not by any faction
whose ayowed and only intention Is
to work defeat to the regular Repub-
lican ticket and destroy the party in
this state.
1 hereby notify you not to use my
name in any way on your proposed
ticket.
Yours respectfully,
]. H. McDERMoTT.
The inability of the scherr faction
20 get all or majority of the nom
inees for electors on their proposed
ticket, It Is believed, Is the beginning
of the end of that party. Prominent
lawyers hold that the Scherr ticket
cannot get a place on the ballot.
Under the new law It is certain that
the names of Taft and Sherman can
not go on the ticket, and as electors
must follow the names OF the Ma
tional candidates. it is held by COM
petent legal authorities that the
Scherr ticket makers could not make
use of the Taft electors names II
they were given permission by tho
electoral candidates to do so. Nc
Peek, Of Fayette. It was said late
today, had written that his name
could not be used.

TIME FOR THE TEST.

While companies are being organized
on each side Of us for mining coal and In
each direction have good indications OF
paying coal fields, Dodge City company
is getting ready to prospect for oil.
Ford county is settling gradually aud
In time will be settled as an agricultural
country, but the discovery Of oil at this
time would put tho county ten years
ahead at one bound. The need of cheap
fuel is Of so much importance. that it
would be good business Judgement for
each person in the county to set aside as
much money year as he can afford for
such purpo'e, to be used In a search
for oil and gas until the country Is sup
Piled with 1t. The fund to be raised for
the first test ought to be raised In short
time. The company now organized
will not begin test until there Is fund
of SIC. 900 on hand to operate with, and
tnis fund was started at the first by two
voluntary offers Of 81 900 each, which is
a nice start and ought to insure the
raising OF the remainder without very
great effort.
IL is a time now for everybody to set
up and take notice. The stake that is
being considered Is big enc. Coal on
both sides and natural gas here would
make Ford county pretty valuable pro-
perty and is OF vast personal interest to
every person who owns property or who
expects to make this his home. The
matter Is something that should be AIKEN
up In business like way with de-
termination to test 1t and If there Is gas,
oil and coal here In abundance we should
get the benefits of it. II 1t should. prove
tina. there II not sufficient quantity
here, the effort will not be regretted, be-
cause It Is sensible business like thing
to do.
II you are either Indifferent or skep
tical and pulling back you are certainly
taking wrong position. The indications
are that this Is an oil. gas and Goa
country. No one yet has advanced any
reason why 1t should not be, and there
can be no doubt that thorough investi
CATION should be made. II is a bis
enough thing that everybody should a
least be interested and deeply interested
1t is time for test and 1t ought to b,
made In determined business like way
