IN EVENT OF WAR.

The Pacific Coast States and the
interior Rocky Mountain States con-
tiguous thereto by their drastic anti
Japanese legislation crusade are TO
menting a strife or creating an inter
national situation between Japan and
this country out of which neither can
come with honor without letting slip
the dogs of war The situation is
already too strained and delicate to be
made more so by further agitation OF
hostile Japanese legislation. Those
Pacific Coast people are carrying their
race antipathy too far, as may be
observed by the efforts being put forth
by the national administration to i'm
press that fact upon them. Both Pres
ident Roosevelt and other strong men,
such as Speaker Stanton, Of the Cal
ifornia Assembly, are trying to stay
the wild fury and pour the oil OF
common sense and reason on the IA
natical race hatred Of the people Of
the Western Coast region. 1t does
seem impolitic, nay, the hight of
folly that they, a few hundred
thousand, should involve the nation
eighty million of their fellow coun-
try-men-in an expensive and stipend
GUS war with one of the bravest and
most warlike as we'll as one of the
greatest naval powers of the world.
Yet this is just what they are devil
| bent to do
When Speaker Stanton, Of the Cen
eral Assembly of California, left the
chair he said, among other things:
1--WE are treading on very dangerous
ground, and l can feel the soil slip
ping from under me- The people for
! Gods sake should be conservative and

CONCERT AT WOoDFORK
CHAPEL.

In the Thriving Town of SheIbyvIIe.
The people of Shelbyville were
treated to a concert on Thursday
night, February a, that is seldom
equaled by local talent. The enter
tainment was given by the noted
Nightingale Quartette from Turner
Normal College of Shelbyville, under
the direction of Miss NJ L. Brook
ms, who is at the head of the music
al department of that school. The
quartette was assisted by local tai
ent, and they rendered a program that
could not be otherwise than highly
pleasing to every one present. The
participants acquitted themselves
grandly, every rendition receiving
tremendous applause. Miss Brook
ms is making an enviable reputa-
tion as a music tezcner and con-
Turner Normal College is being rap
idly brought to the front by the popu-
larity of the singers and readers
going out from there. President
Jones acted as master of ceremonies
and appeared to be highly pleased
with the impression made by the
students from his school, Shelby
vile citizens are deeply interested
in this school. The merchants have
long since realized what it means tC
them, and they are lending every en-
enlargement to the president and
trustees. There is not a town in the
state that is more progressive, ant
the fact that Turner Normal repre-
sents people from every section o.
the state makes it the more promi
nent and influential.

THE LINCOLN CENTENARY.

To-day in every part of the United
States the people are celebrating the
natal centenary of Abraham Lincoln,
the savior of his country. This great
American stands with Washington in
point of invaluable service to his coun-
try He had received his preparation
in the hard school of adversely and
when the tremendous task of saving
his country from a destruction of it
self fell to his lot as the Nations
Chief, he was prepared to perform it.
In the darkest hours of that eventful
period, when other men faltered be-
cause of doubts and misgivings, he,
patient, clear-visioned and determined,
had but one fixed purpose and that
was the salvation of the Union. How
ever men may have looked upon him
in those stirring times that tried the
souls of all, they look upon him memo
rally in a different light now.
Lincoln was one of the few men who
were not born to any one people or
country but to all the world. His
achievements in the cause Of freedom
will be a boon to mankind to the end
of time. His craftsmanship based up
on his great common sense was OF
the highest order. No man ever faced
a more prodigious national crisis than
that which confronted Lincoln after
the first shot fired at Ft. Sumter In
April of 1861. For four years hundreds
of thousands of men from both sec
lions of the country, North and South
fought, bled and died for opposite
principles and beliefs arising from diff
ferent construction of the Constitution
But towering about all of the princi
pal characters that took part in thai
awful and tragical war drama arose
the figure of the patient Lincoln truly
man Of destiny, born for such
time and such a purpose.
His task is done and he has gont
to his reward, leaving behind the re
suits of noble life as a priceless
heritage for all times. And to-da!
the majority Of American citizenship
bow in reverence at the tomb of Lin
coin to pay homage to his memory
It is one Of the noblest instincts o
the human soul to pay tribute to tn
memory of the good and great. S.
it is fitting that we dedicate to-da,
with appropriate ceremonies the brit
and service of the martyred Lincoln.

some of the most intellectual. cal
tured and refined people of the city.
Mrs. Terrell is not only one OF the
best known, but one of the most
scholarly women of the country. She
has travelled extensively in this and
foreign countries, having also studied
abroad, all of which has tended to en-
rich her mind with that broad and lib
eral culture which has made her one OF
the most proficient and efficient edu'
Gators and lecturers of the day, as was
so brilliantly manifested by her recent
lecture in this city. Her strong and
forceful argument, happy and pointed
wit. lucid and expressive illustrations,
clear and tellingly drawn deductions,
in short, her superb command of Ian
guage and easy and graceful delivery,
make her an eloquent speaker whose
hold or control of her audience is
magnetic and captivating.
1t is easy for those who heard Mrs.
Terrell to understand why she was in
such demand to lecture elsewhere on
the Continent and in England after

that would have been creditable to
any woman of any race, and 1t is all
the more remarkable because OF the
fact that it was the effort of a woman
who is the product of a people that

rations from American slavery-a con-
dition which was crushing, blightlng
and demoralizing. Wherever she

REPUTATION of that lie which had gone
Tits rounds over there that the Ameri-

wish to emphasize again by saying
that she is a living contradiction
of that stereotyped Misrepresentation
that went from this side that the Ne
gro is a hopeless ignoramus. She is
due much credit for what she has
done at home and abroad for the up
lift and in defense of her people.
Mrs. Terrell is one of the gifted
women of her people, and her opti
mism or belief in their brighter fu
ture is so great and she expresses il
so earnestly that it becomes decidedly
contagious and inspiring. By her ac

An ordinance has been passed and
is operative against expectorating or
splitting on sidewalks and in public
buildings. This is a splendid law, and
a rigorous enforcement of it will be in
the interest of public health. The
sidewalks on certain streets and ave-
nues, such as College, Cherry and 10
Johnston, north Of Cedar, are still
the favorite receptacles of spitters
who disregard the law which is in
tended to prevent this nuisance.
Those who continue the filthy practice
which comes within the meaning of
the anti-spitting ordinance should be
hustled before the proper authorities
to account for their indiscretion with

not attempt to force through anti
Japanese legislation at this time. l
am not an alarmist, but when l say
that such bill, if enacted, will pre-
cipitate crisis | am stating the mat
ter conservatively, and l take it that
the people will know what / mean"
This is significant not only for what
it expresses, but also for what it does
not express but is meant to be under
stood.
Japan has not only the powerful
vessels with which she utterly ami
hilated Russia's great naval fleet, but
that part of it that was not sent to
the bottom of the Sea of Japan. And
the men who are doing all in their
power to silence those Pacific Coast
fanatics are doing so to prevent Togo,
the world-renowned naval chieftain,
getting his eagle eye on the defective
or vulnerable parts of Americas fight
ing machines which have been so mi
nutely pointed out to all the world by
Reuterdahl. Such men as Roosevelt
and Stanton are trying to stave OF at
least for the present naval conflict
between the two countries.
If the navy of this country should be
worsted in an armed meeting with
Japan, then the Japanese would in
trench themselves upon the Pacific
Coast with the friendly barrier of the
Rocky Mountains between them and
the rest of the country. What it would
take to dislodge them is enough to
make the prophetic weep to think OF
it.
In the event of war between the two
countries of which we are speaking
and in event of the Japanese defeat
ing the United States navy and TAX
ing possession of the Pacific Coast, il
goes without saying that this country
will have to pour over the Rocky
Mountains every class of its masculine
population without regard to color Of
condition to expel those fighting little
war devils. OF course the Negro de
spite his present status quo as citi
zen, will be expected to be as patriot
ic as when Crispus Attacks fell il
Boston. the first in the Revolutionar!
struggle, in the war of 1872, in tn
great civil strife of 1861, and in tn
Spanish-American military operations
The day is going to come soon or lat
when the maltreated and disfranchise,
Negro will be called upon to he'll
defend his so-called country.

A disregard of law in one of the
Sovereign Commonwealth of the
South is summed up thus: MISSISSIPPI
pi mob lynched Negro for murder of
minister. Judge refused to convene
court to try him. No resistance of
fered by Jail authorities, and the af-
fair was conducted in an orderly man
ner-victim confessed committing
crime. Every time one of these
frequently orderly mobs butchers a
Negro without any semblance of sane
ton of law, he always, according to
the gentlemen composing the orderly
gang of executioners, confesses to the
crime. Ye gods! this kind of thing is
bad and becoming more frequent
everyday. Why such haste in MUIR
dering men by mob courts when the
legal machinery is always accessible?
This is too bad!
