THE DOCTORS DUTIES

DIR. Marcus Ell. Wheatland, pres
ident of the National Medical As
sociation, has undertaken at least
two efforts which, if successful
must be of inestimable benefit, TO
he race.
The famous president himself
will head committee of fifteen
of fifteen doctors from the national
organization to investigate tuber-
culosis among Negroes. No COM
prehensive, scientific and satisfac.
tory inquiry into the reasons for
the excessive ravages of the di-
sease among Negroes has yet been
made Whatever investigation
has been made heretofore has been
partial if not unfriendly. 1t has,
consequently, been reported that
because of the Negroes inferior
lung capacity and his inability to
acclimate in the temperate zone,
he is peculiar victim of the great
white plague. Poor housing and
living conditions and inability to
secure proper medical attention
are ascribed as the causes by the
eminent X Ray expert, who SCOTS
at the other qnsi-scientific opin-
ions. However that may be, that
the leading Negro doctors will
consider thoroughly the situation
is cause for general satisfaction.
At the Newark meeting of the
North Jersey Medical Association
last week DR.. Wheatland again
impressed upon Negro doctors the
need of scientific attainment.
The Negro doctor for the most
part seems content to earn a good
living and rest on his oars. He
is MT apparently fired by the am
bitiou to keep in the van of his
profession and to achieve repu-
tation for scientific scholarship
and attainment. This lack of at
tainment and reputation prohibits
confidence and popularity, not on
ly among white, but colored peo-
pie.

GOES TO LIBERIA

Professor Theophilus r. Parker,
of Morgan College, Baltimore, has
decided to accept a chair in the
college at Monrovia, Liberia.
The school is under the manage
ment of the A. M. E. church.
Much is being said of the young
man. who is able and ambitious,
for his missionary zeal. 1t takes
some courage to enlist in the
cause of country which has so
snfuch to do in making place
among the leading nations. There
are courageous individuals, how
ever, among other races, many of
them, and who do not hesitate
when they hear the call. The
American Negroes are the fore
most in preparation when it comes
to education, experience and such
like qualities, hence should con-
tribute freely of the resources in
buoying up their kind across the
seas. The zeal of Professor Par
ker should become contagious un-
til Liberia lifts above its present
slough and stands for what the
race in this country would have it
stand-a mighty and glorious pow
er at amity with ell environments
through sheer force of intelligence
and physical hardihood. Freeman

here now enjoy a hand-to-mouth
existence, whereas they should be
prosperous, if they only had your
trade. And, again, there are hun
dreds of good people who carelessly
allow their bills to go by default
and the Negro business man on
small working capital is bound to
suffer. There are many accounts

Push This.

For some time there has been
carried on in this city, with more or
less success. an effort to organize
among our people Young Men S
Christian Association. To the cas-
ual observer the preliminary work
of such a move ought not to be de-
layed for either funds or active
and successful workers. This city
has several splendid churches with
large and fairly prosperous con-
pregations. These churches are al
most. if not fully out of debt. Their
membership could and should be
made an active recruiting depart
ment for this work. The value and
Importance of such an organlza-
ton among our people cannot be
too highly valued. What this pa
per. along with the churches and
other good citizens, desires, Is to
raise the standard of manhood as
high as possible. By surrounding
our young men with wholesome
places of amusement and recrea-
ton, besides pleasing means at
hand whereby they may not only
begin to learn, but receive the IN
spiration to a higher life. Then
such an organization helps develop
the commercial side of our people.
We will venture the assertion that
no CITY of the size of Denver con-
tanning so many of our people, can
not boast of more lines OF success

ple. We want to emphasize the
fact that Denver is no longer the
city of refuge for the no-account

The idea that this city is one con-

needing suitable places to spend

Pink Franklin, the South Caro-
lima Negro, whose conviction of the
murder of Special Constable Val
entine, led to an attack upon the
so-called labor contract laws" of
the South, will suer the death pen
atty, according to the decision of
the United States Supreme Court.
Former Attorney General Bona
parte became interested in the case
and filed a brief in Franklin's be-
half. He contended that Franklin
had "A right to resist arrest, which
was sought TO be made on a war
rant issued under an unconstitu-
tional law. This law was the So
called labor contract law" which
provided that agricultural laborers,
under contract to work, were guilty
of misdemeanors if they broke
their contracts after receiving
wages in advance. Mr.. Bonaparte
denounced this law as an attempt
to reduce the Negroes of the South
to captivity. Justice Day, in an
nouncing the decision, said the
court could inquire only into fed
eral questions. He said the ques-
tion of resistance of arrest under
an unconstitutional law was not
raised in time in the State court.

Baltimore, Md, June 1.-The
Maryland Diocesan Convention of
the Protestant Episcopal Church
last Thursday voted down unani-
mously the suggestion to have
suffragan bishops for Negroes.
Rev. DIR. George T. Bragg, Jr.,
rector of st. James Protestant
Episcopal church, in a strong
speech against suffragan bishops,
declared that what the colered peo-
pie wanted was missionary bish-
op of their own race with a right
to vote in the general convention.
He said suffragan bishop would
be powerless and helpless and
detriment to the race.
