about a married daughter of the
late Col. D. G. Colson becoming
insane on the streets while being
conveyed to a samitarium, was
all a fake. Colson was married

father of a daughter she could
only be about nine years old, but
the fact is, he had no daughter.

EQUALITY OF PRIVILEGE.

AmaIganaation Win Solve the Race
Problem, says clarsnes parroW.
Speaking at the second annual con-
ference OF the national Negro commit
tee, held, at Cooper Union Thursday
evening. May y, Clarence S. barrow,
the wen known Chicago lawyer, said
that the real solution Of the race ques-
don lay IN race amalgamation.
This VIII be the ultimate answer to
the question" declared the speaker.
'Tt may be a long way In the future,
but intermarriage between the races
win finally settle all difficulties. as It
has In the case Of the Irish and Ger
mans and other peoples who formerly
had to be kept apart in order to pre-
serve the peace.
''The real barrier is not color. 1t Is
the fact that the Negroes were once
slaves and that today they are In the
ranks OF labor. 1t is a labor question
rather than a race problem, and the
way for the Negro. to obtain recogni-
ton Is to cast his lot boldly with the
poor and fight with them and for
them. The cause OF the poor Is his
cause, and his cause Is theirs"
The Rev. Reverdy G. Ransom, pas
tor Of the Bethel American N. E.
church, said:
The Negro has been vitality affected
In several ways by Acknowledgement
he has been abandoned by the party
he kept in power for a generation and
given over to those who are seeking to
reduce him to serfdom. His life is in

and put to death when accused or sus-
pected OF crime. If white man Is the
aggressor the Negro is not protected In
defending his person, his family or his
property from assault, outrage or vio-
lence.
''What kind Of American citizen does
the Negro intend to become? he In
tends to be so thoroughly identified
with the country as to lose all con-
Seriousness of race. He win insist that,
regardless Of race or color, every
American youth be free to tread the

sons why the race should take hope
and encouragement from the progress
which II has made.
The question of equality. said the
speaker, reduced Itself to the success
Of individual effort. What can do as
well or better than any one else?
What reason have TO be satisfied that
am the equal Of my fellow man in
physical proves. mental ealiber or
moral stamina7 The idea should be
to surpass him II possible and thus be-
come his benefactOr.
Do not get it into your heads that
the Negro is the only race which pulls
apart on many Of the things by which
be might benefit most. This is entire
" the opposite. The difference be
tween the Negro and the white man In
this particular Is this:
The white man has his differences
Of opinion, but when 1t comes to put
ting them in action he first considers
the cost and will abandon his views
rather than fail in that which IL for
the benefit Of the cause for which he
labors.
The Negro must learn this, and the
sooner the better for all concerned
Pessimism Is dangerous. Get out
said the distinguished educator, from
under the juniper tree Of doubt. gloom
and complaining and do something.
The race Is strong as q unit, but It
can be made powerful as a pack Ten
millions OF people welded together By
race loyalty, ambition, perseverance,
and common sense cannot forever be
ostracized and Disseminated against
without retaliation.
We are advancing. We are becom-
ing more and more proficient in every
avenue OF life. Education, industry,
economy and political enfranchisement
are some Of the fruits which must re-
suit from race loyalty. faith In God
and confidence IN ourselves.

In doing he has reversed three federal court de-
cisions, the former attorney general the secretary
of agriculture, the chief chemist the Renssen board
the internal bureau, the trade mark section
of the patent office, and Theodore Roosevelt.
Joe Choate, who appeared as special attorney for
Canadian Club; Warwick NJ. Hough, who has lobbi-
ed for IL years to defeat the pure food legislation
(and whose position the president exactly susains)
the National Association of Rectifiers, whom Hough
represents; and the gentlemen who con ri u d
$260,000 to the Taft campaign fund are to be con-
graduated.
