lawyer, who was elected Novem-

But it is safe to say that Mr.. Bass
fame will rest there, for now that
the ice has been broken he will
not be the last. The Philadelphia
Negro may move under the .cele-
brated local spell of their town,
but in politics they are not asleep.
They have had councilmen for
years, deputy sheriffs without
end, and municipal clerks without
number. These honors have come
as the natural result of united
and intelligent leadership. The
Quaker "man and brother may
fuss and scratch among them
selves, but when they come out
before the public, they are united
and daring in that union. Note
with what unanimity the colored
men of Philadelphia and of all
Pennsylvania are supporting j. c.
Asbury for the position of sub
treasurer at Philadelphia.
Mr.. Bass, as our correspondent
pointed out last week, is a strong,
progressive force, an able lawyer,
a race defender, and long identi-
fed with the people. We do not

of his election. How long are we

THE WHITE MAN,

Wherever the white mans feet have
trod,
ooh, far does the white man stray
A bold road rifles the virginia. sod,
And the forest wakes out of it's dream
of God,
To yield him the right of way.
For this is the law: by the power of
thought
For worse, or for better, are miracles
wrought.
Wherever the white mans pathway
leads,
Gar, far, has that pathway gone)
The earth is Uttered with broken
creeds,
And always the dark mans tent re-
cedes,
And the white man pushes on.
For this is the law: be it good or i'll,
All things must yield to the stronger
will.
Wherever the white mans light is
shed,
ooh. far has that light been
thrown)
Though nature has suffered, and beau
ty fled,
The goal of the race has been thrust
ahead
And the might of the race has
grown.
For this is the law be it cruel or
kind,
The universe sways to the power of
mind.

SUMNER NOT FORGOTTEN.
Centenary of the Martyred States
man to Be Generally Observed.

The announcement by the New Eng
land Suffrage League of its intention
to observe the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the birth of Charles Sumner
on Friday, Jan. 16, 1911, will no doubt
meet with the hearty approval of all
public spirited citizens throughout
America.
The league appeals to the country
at large to hold a similar celebration
in all the large cities, towns and vii
lagos. The Boston celebration is to
be in cooperation with the National
Independent Political League and the
citizens committee, to be held all day
with three sessions.
The celebration is planned to begin
with a morning session in the public
hall of the Bowdoin school, west end,
which stands on the site where Mr.
Sumner was born.
C. H. Plummer, president of the
league, and his associates have an
nounced the following partial pro.
gram:
The city of Boston has been petit
toned to recognize the celebration.
The mayor and other city officials
have been invited to attend the cele-
bration in a body. The school COM
mittee has been asked to order ap-
propriate exercises for that day in all
the schools.
Among those invited to speak are
Hon. Albert E. Pillsbury, DR.. Horace
Bumstead, Alonzo Meserve, Col. N. P.
Hallowell, Francis J. Garrison, Miss
Alice Blackwell, Charles e. Zueblin,
Edwin d. Mead, w. w. Doherty, Hon
Moorfield Storey, Bishop w. F. MALTA
lieu. Frank Sanborn, Hon. A H.
Grimke. E. II. Clement, Rev. A. A.
Berle, Rev. j. F. Rowley, Prof. A. B.
Hart, Rabbi Eichler, the governor the
mayor and others.
The surviving children of the late
George T. Downing. who held Senator
Summers hand at death, are invited
as special guests. Further details will
be in the hands of the combined citi-
zens' and leagues committee.
We suggest that the Y. M. c. A. and
the Colored Historical Society unite
and render at some one of the churches
here an appropriate program for the
occasion. Charles Sumner was the
greatest unconditional abolitionist this
nation produced, Garrison, probably.

THINKS COLORED PEOPLE
SHOULD GO TO CANADA.

Mr.. Morgan, an old resident of
this county, thinks the Colored
people should go to Canada and
buy land. He says that $500 Col
ored people from Mississippi have
gone there and bought 10000
acres of land and are doing well.
Mr.. Morgan declares that there is
better protection under the Brit
ish flag. The Colored people have
been going to Canada in small
numbers for years, but the great
bulk of Colored people seem to
prefer living under the American
flag and fighting and sailing
through bloody seas, as it were.

The astounding growth of sentiment
in respect of the principles of the So
cialist party was one of the really in
teresting disclosures of the recent

try, and in New York particularly,
where Mr.. Russell made surprising in

ty. there were Socialist gains. For the
first time there will be a Socialist
member of Congress, Victor S. Berger,
of Wisconsin. What does this mean?
Do not say it means nothing, for that
would be foolish. Does ii mean that
the people want a try at Socialism?
Or does 1t really mean that they do
not appreciate the obvious dangers OF
Socialism? One cannot longer howl
down the Socialist orator, nor talk )f

Russells conceded brilliance as
thinker and writer may explain the
phenomenal vote he got in the state
of New York. but what of the Socialist
candidates in other states and other
