laws preventing the Negro from fol-
lowing various fields Of activity were
steps in recognition Of the principles Of
democracy.
The Acknowledgement laws, Jim
| crow measures, restricted school facil-
tiles for the race, are efforts to undo
the start made for the extension to all
Of what many are pleased to term
"Jeffersonian principles" =.
With the curtailment OF the rights
| of the Negro and steadily growing
race consciousness as well as knowl-
edge of public affairs and the growing
economic independence of the race
has come the conviction that the spir-
it of democratic principles is no less
| for the colored man than for the
white.
A number Of white and colored men,
all firm believers In the principles OF
democracy and strong opposers to
all temporizing with social prejudices
and it's manifestation in discriminat-
| ing laws, have organized the National
Association For the Advancement OF
Colored People, with offices in the
Evening Post building, 20 Vesey
| street, New York. M
The need of such an association can
be best CLEANED from an address which
one Of its leading promoters, Oswald
Garrison Willard, editor Of the New
York Evening Post, delivered at the
recent meeting in New York OF the
National Negro Business league. Said
Mr.. Willard: pa
"My friends Of the Business league,
do not let the historian Of the future
say that in this money making age the
colored American became so engross-
ed in tile accumulation of means and
the establishment of business as to
forget those higher things without
which he cannot hope to succeed and
rise to great usefulness, to be really
! worthy of his heritage of American
citizenship.
''Do not forget that, while every ef-
fort must be spent in fortifying our
| selves in every community by bust
ness ana material success, equal effort
must be devoted to that Of far greater
movement, the insistence upon the
Negro's equal and political rights IN
every place and at all times.
"Anythfng short Of absolute equality
before the law is slavery. 5&s
"My friends, this republic cannot ex-
| ist half slave, half free, any more TO-
day than it could In the time OF Abra-
ham Lincoln"
DR.. w. e. B. Du Bois, the eminent

so sly, sometimes. He has played his
favorite game Of hearts quite number
of times in Monmouth lately, but to tho
knowledge of every one. This time he
sprung surprise and William Let's

Neal proceeded to Galesburg Saturday
afternoon, quietly married, and return

knowing what had happened till they
choose to tell it. Truth cannot be hid.

ed the degree Of doctor of philosophy
by Harvard In 1895. He did some spe-
cial research work for the University
Of Pennsylvania, after which he went

Of the department Of economies and
sociology.
DR.. Du Bois is the author of "Soul

many pamphlets on the race question.
When he resigned from the profes.
sorship to accept the position of dl.
rector Of publicity and research for
the National Association For the Ad.
vancement Of Colored People the
board Of trustees Of Atlanta univer.
sity, In accepting his resignation, paid
him the following glowing tribute:
1--WE accept with regret the resigna-
ton Of W. Z. Burghardt' Du Bois,
Phi. D., from the professorship of eco.
nomics and history at Atlanta univer-
sity.
''For thirteen years he has served
this institution with great ability and
devotion. He has proved himself a
careful scholar, firm disciplinarian
and thorough and inspiring teacher.
The charm Of his personality and
his prevailing good cheer have added
much to the enjoyment Of life In the
school family.
"Under his guidance the department
Of economies and history has been
greatly strengthened and has brought
Atlanta university wide recognition
among scholars.
I'VE can only hope that his new field
Of labor will give him larger oppor-
tunity for the exercise Of his excep.
tional powers for the benefit Of the
Negro race and Of humanity"
The association will begin the publ
cation of a magazine, the Crisis, the
1st Of November Its aim each month
will be to record every important hap
pening and movement In the world
which bears on the great problem Of
interracial relation and especially those
which affect the Negro American.
The magazine will be the organ Of
no cliQues or party and will avoid psr-
sonal rancor Of all sorts.
DR.. Du Bois will be editor in chief.
His assistants will include Professor
Kelly Miller Of Howard university, Os-

BERNSTEIN WILL CONDUCT
ANTl-CIGARETTE CAMPAIGN
Probation officer Declares EVIL Has
Greatly Increased Among
Small Boys.

campaign against cigarette smoking
among small boys will be started by the
probation officers because OF the alarming
increase in the habit during the past few
months. A dozen boys ranging in age from
10 to 10 years have been brought into the
Juvenile court office within week for
smoking on the streets. They have been
released with warning. but repeated Of
lenses will bring them into the Detention
home as incorrigibles.
Where they get their material for cigar
cites is hard to find out" says officer
Bernstein. I'm some cases men give them
papers and tobacco and we want to warn
men that 1t is a punishable crime and has
a penalty of six months in jail or heavy
fine. Giving a boy under p materials for
a cigarette is guilty OF abetting a crime,
We shall watch for them. At the next leg
islature we are going TO ask for more
stringent laws to aid us in keeping boys
from getting the cigarette habit"
Another evil that has come recently 70
the notice of the juvenile authorities is the
renewed practice OF messengers riding their
bicycles on the sidewalks. The boys have
been told OF the laws against riding wheels
on sidewalks. and they will be taught
forcefully to respect them If they continue
to be careless.

SOUTH OMAHA, July 29.-To the Editor
OF The Bee: Yesterday morning you pub
lished an article to the effect that John II.
Devine had slapped me across the face at
Grand Island, giving the article prominent
place on the front page Of your paper under
sensational head lines. AS soon as my at
tention was called to it called your edit
orial department by phone and was
answered by your Mr.. Thomas, to whom l
stated that the article was false and re-
quested that retraction or correction be
published in your evening edition and that
equal prominence be given to the correction.
This Mr.. Thomas promised should be done.
Instead, however, OF doing me the justice
OF correcting an unqualified falsehood
which you had published under glaring
headlines, you republshsd the article in
your evening edition. Unless a retraction of
this falsehood is Immediately made and
given the same prominence which you gave
the first article l shall conclude that it is
your deliberate intention to persist in
false and malicious libel of and concerning
me and shall take such action as may be
found necessary in the premises. Respect
fully, WILLIAM II. PATRICK.

Forty-One Million Dollars
for Liquor License Fees

WASHINGTON. July SOFT requires more
than S40,0OO,000 in the large cities OF the
United States to pay license fees.
The extent to which the drinking men
help to pay the expenses OF the govern
ment in the cities is indicated by the CEN
sus report covering the finances OF the
country for the year 1908 in the cities hav-
ing a population OF 5000 or more. There
were at that time 1bS of such cities, but the
complete figures were available for only
l5l OF them and these figures showed that
in those places the licensed drinking places
pain in aggregate OF t41.s5O.1Ss This was
a gain Of almost 100000 from the preced-
ing year and Of about Sl1.OOo,OOO over the
year 1906 The increase was due to the
large fees exacted by most OF the cities.
OF the drinking places sanctioned by law
there are no fewer than 6T.lS1, and this is a
decrease within three years Of about 1900.
The falling off was due largely to the fact
that a number OF cities went dry. OF the
les places. twenty-four has become no
license" cities when the canvas was made.
The change was most marked In the south
Atlantic states and least In the Rocky
mountain region
