ported Monday morning. Yet a deal
of interest and the usual routine OF
business was gone through. The
ministers are beginning to look for
ward to two coming events which are
already casting their shadows. The
first is the visit of Miss N. H. Bur-
roughs, of Louisville, who is to
speak here in April and the second is
the great Sunday-School Congress
which is to come here in the month
of June. This movement promises
to bring thousands Of visitors and
some of the ministers, especially the
pastors of the leading churches among
the Baptists, have already been dis
cussing in their meetings organlza-
ton OF committees to thoroughly can

tertainment of the delegates while
here. Chairman 7. j. Townsend will
no doubt bring the matter before the
meeting for consideration at an early
date, at which time the personnel OF
the committees will be decided upon.

TO HAVE BASEBALL PARK.

The information comes to the
Globe from an authoritative source
that first-class baseball park will
be erected for the entertainment OF
the Negro people Of this city during
the incoming season with that popu-
lar game. 1t is said that the young
men who have conceived this project
will spare no pains to make it a sue
cess. A grandstand will be erected
and, in fact, everything that goes to
make frst-class baseball park will
be done.
Already reputable ball clubs are be.
ing scheduled, and the public will be
given first-class exhibitions of base
ball In enterprises of this or any
other kind among Negro people. they
should give their liberal support If
they love to witness this sport as
played by others and where they are
circumscribed they should be more
than ready to witness it as played
by members of their own race and in
a park where there will be no segre-
cation or other proscriptive rules
OF limitation. There is much good
common sense in the old adage: 81
had rather be the head of mouse
than the tail of lion"
The ball park is going to be erected
and good games are going to be
played and it rests with the lovers Of
the sport among the people whether
they will assist in making it from
year to year better and better unit
they will have no desire to go where
they are not particularly wanted.

SOME CONTRASTS AND COMPARE
SONS.

Although contrasts and comparisons
are sometimes odious and rasping, es-
pecially to those who suffer one way
or another thereby, yet, it is true that
sometimes they are the best and only
way that the relative action of men,
races or nations and the results arts
ing from such action can be differen-
tiated We wish to call attention to
some things which have transpired
lately in this country.
1t will be remembered that but
few days ago there was on the Pacific
Coast an anti-racial or Japanese prob
lem, but to-day there is not SEM
blance of it; or if there is, it exists
only passively in the minds of the
coast people The national authori-
ties gave the Californians to under
stand in language which could not be
misunderstood that they would not be
allowed to foist upon the whole coun-
try by their wild anti-racial folly an
international situation pregnant with
all sorts of dangerous probabilities
and possibilities. Why did the Gene
raj Government put a quietus on the
rantings of the coast people? Why
did it make a majority of the ac-
credited representatives of the State
of California nullify or rescind a law
which they themselves had formulat
ed, deiberated upon and passed? Did
not California have the same right to
pass anti-Japanese legislation as
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, etc.
to pass anti-Negro class laws? Cali
fognia had as much right to violate
the treaty-making provision of the
Constitution as the Southern States
had and have of passing disfranchise
m-nt laws in utter defiance of the
intent and purpose of the spirit o
the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth Amendments Of the same ma
tional instrument If one is in vic
lation of the organic law, the other
are, TOO.
California was brought to her sens
es and put in her place for good ant
sufficient reason. Although there ar
only ninty-thrce Japanese children al
tending twenty-three schools, the lay
segregating them was smothered t
death even after its passage. Strang
though it may be, it is the first tim
state has been fatty called dow
for it's anti-racial legislative crusade'
The Japanese have contributed notf
ing whatever to the material progress
of this Nation, yet their government
said to|it in a diplomatic way: Don
let those Californians interfere wit
my subjects children; if you do

spected that demand, however it
touched and stung its pride, because
it knew that demand nursed threat
backed up by the sinews of war. The
Negroes, millions strong, peaceable,
industrious, patient and patriotic,
nave devoted centuries to the service
OIL this country, yet they have been
stripped OF every right OF manhood
and of humanity without any effect

deprivation.
The last episode is that the Repub-

an apology, OF rather a satisfactory
explanation, for some fancied insult
arising from the heated discussion in
