The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1909-05-29

In no southern state can the black
woman resort to law to compel the
white father to support the half-breed
offspring. Should she attempt to do
so she would be laughed out of court.
Yet it would seem that such law
would strike at the very root of the
evil. .-t
When Louisiana adopts such a law,
the T. D. can have a good basis for it's
argument-nOt before.

The election Of Hon. William Lori
mer as the Junior United States sen.
ator of Illinois furnishes an object
lesson to all boys who desire to rise
IN the world. He was born in Eng
land very poor, came to this country
in 1866 when he was but years old
and his life has been one of hard
fighting.
He started fighting to support a fam
lily by backing shoes when a boy of
10. From this point he passed
through the stages in his career of
newsboy, driver of a horse car, Ia
borer in the stock yards, local poll
teal leader, and through a number
of bitter fights to a seat in the house
of representative and finally in the
senate.
At every step in his progress he was
obliged to fight against criticism and
abuse. Only twice in his political
life was he defeated. Each of these
times he quickly recovered and soon
took the lead again. and now he is a
Senator of the United States. Boys,
hitch your wagon to a star.

MISREPRESENTATION in THE SOUTH.


The New Orleans Times-Democrat
has had a discussion with one of it's
correspondents on miscegenation in
the south. The journal intimated
that the white people of the south
are opposed to that practice, from
which opinion the correspondent dis
sents and he seems to have the bet
ter of the argument.
He shows that the laws of Louisiana
furnish no adequate remedy for the
evil. Louisiana and other southern
states have laws prohibiting racial
intermarriage and in some there are
anti-concubinag laws, but it is a we'll
known fact that those laws do not do
much in the way of preventing the
existence of illicit relations between
the races. The reason is that south
ern legislation affords no protection
to the o-American woman nor her
half-breed offspring.
