4 Socialist Attack on the White
FiYeAuew

By keeping some of their cards up their
sleeves, and by denying several things that
are true, the Socialists have gained converts
in the South and in the West, as we'll as in
the North and East No farmer, rich or poor,
could ever be converted to Socialism, if the
teachers of that doctrine dealt fairly with the
pupils. No white man, true to his race, could
ever be made Socialist, if he could be
brought to realize that it meant the degrada-
ton of the Caucasian.
The Chicago daily paper which is run by
the rich young Socialist, Medill, boldly advo-
Gates the social equality of blacks and whites.
Negroes are invited to join the Socialist
party, on the ground that it is the only one
which proposes to treat the blacks as the
equals of the whites.
The appeal to Reason, which thrives on
appeals to pref udice and passion and which
never does appeal to any mans reasOn comes
out In bitter attack on the white firemen of
the Georgia Railroad who went on strike
because they were being thrown out of work
to make way for cheaper negro fremen. The
appeal to Reason characterizes as "inf0-
NOUS" the conduct of these white firemen who,
as the appeal alleges, "persecuted" the negro
"6ecause Of the color Of his skim"
OF course, the appeal believes that the only
difference between negro and white man
is the hue OF the wrapper. Inside, the two
packages are just alike: the outer coverings
are CONTRAST that is ALL Evidently, the
Appeal thinks that all the blacks resemble in
character and habits mulattoes, like Dubois
and Washington. Such a human being as
the African type,-the genuine negro,-the
appeal does not know. It's editors should
read Sir Samuel Bakers book, "African Ex-
plorations;" or it should spend a few weeks
in the South, studying the black man of the
cotton belt.
If after a careful consideration of the aver
age negro, the appeal can then say that the
color of his skin is the only thing that differ
entiates him from the whites, its editors will
have demonstrated their incapacity to learn.
John Quincy Adams, Ex-Presdent of the
United States, spent the afternoon of his life
batting and badgering and abusing the South
on account of the negro A vociferous and
violent champion of Cufee, was John Quincy
The cold man eloquent" Judged the whole
race by the mulatto, Fred Douglas, and be-
lieved that all they needed to become Anglo
Saxons was freedom and education. The
trivial mistake nature had made in painting
the African black could be rectifed by break
ing his chains and rubbing his woolly noddle
with school-books. John Quincy died with
out learning any better. So did some others
who believed the same way. But the Adams
family is still zone of U.S." and it's most promi
nent member, at present, is Charles Francis,
the grandson of John Quincy.

Rev. II. c. Schaefer attacks the
JeHeYSOMi0nS

In the Atlanta COrSt2tWt2On OF June 20,
appears, III part, sermOnlc assault on the
weekly and monthly Jeffersonians deliveredg
IN the Lutheran Church by Rev. w. O.
Schaeffer. The cause-of-war is the same old
thing, foreign missions. The facts which we
have been publishing are hurting the fanatics
very much. It is the first time that the light
has been let in, and those whose unscriptural
methods have been exposed are buzzing like
angry hornets.
Does Brother Schaeffer accuse the Jefferso-
mans of classifying the facts?
Not at all. How then, does he meet our
criticisms? By quoting what has been said
In favor of mission work by Messrs Taft,
Roosevelt, Bryan, Harrison, Mckinley and
Brewer.
What is the substance of the testimony of
these gentlemen! Merely, that the mission
work which we have been doing for the
heather as good for the heather. Who said
that 1t was not? Have the Jeffersonians been
contending that free education for Orientals
IS not benefit to them? Have we been deny
ing that free board and clothing for the poor
children of India, China and Japan are not
good for the benefciaries? Have we said that
when we take charge of these heather tots,
iced and clothe and train them in the kinder
garten, teach them in the free school. and
graduate them from the college, we have not
conferred favor upon the recipients of our
bounty? Certainly not Food for the hun
CRY, clothing for the naked, lodging for the
homeless, medicine for the sick, education for
the illiterate, are good things for those who
lack them, the world over. We have not been
guilty of the absurdity of saying anything to
the contrary. What we haze argued with sin
ce1ty and earnestness is that we do wrong to
neglect the crying needs of our own people
while we devote ourselves with the growing
zeal of fanaticism to the needs of inferior and
foreign races.
Have we no starvelings at our own doors?
Have we no sick who need free medicines and
free service! Have we no illiterates who are
unable OF themselves to get an education?
Have we no orphans who wall in vain for
adoption into well-to-do Christian families?
God! Have we no Potter's Fields of paupers'
graves, no hell-E1e tenements where damna-
ton terminates as weeds sprout from the
dung-hlll, no men and women and children
that reel, as they hunt for work or help, and
fall dying at our feet?
What pity it is that those preachers who
Douglas Island news., 1909-08-11

The United States department of ag- riculture announces, this summer, that one ounce of oil of cedar, two ounces of oil of citronella and two ounces of spirits of camphor make combination against which the pertinacity of the mosquito fails. A few drops of the mixture on cloth at the head of the bed is warranted to keep the vicious insects away for the night. Some of the mosquito banishing preparations are quite as offensive to the olfactory nerves of human beings as to those of the insects themselves and there are times when the user is required to con- sider whether an occasional bite is not preferable to a perpetual stench. The government of Uncle Sam declares that there is nothing disagreeable about the odor of its new remedy.
Douglas Island news., 1909-08-11

An exchange mentions that the hon. or of place on the executive board of the Western Federation of Miners has fallen to Yanco Terzich, of Douglas, No one is in the least surprised that Terzich should have been chosen, if for no other reason than that he has been the paid representative of the Feder. ation on Douglas Island for something like two years. But when the article mentioned refers to Terzich as a Doug. has miner we fail to see it. The only mining that he has done fUy long time has been in the pockets of the poor deluded few that have listened to his preaching. He might better be called a Douglas barnacle.

Calling Names,

The late Peleg W. Chandler. who
was hard Of hearing. was one or the
most effective OF war time speakers.
Every occasion Illustrated his elo-
quence and demonstrated the quick
ness of his repartee. At one meeting
he was frequently interrupted by a
backyard ut the rear of the hall. who
kept shouting. why don't you go
yourself?" For a time Mr.. Chambers
deafness prevented him from catching
the exact nature OF the interruption.
of which he had been for some time
conscious. At last Mr.. Chandler
caught the words of the disturber.
Then. in the mildest accents. which
emphasized the force of the words, he
said. Young man. If my ears were rs
good as yours and as long as yours 1
