THE GREAT

There is some doubt if baseball,

but the colored people play it so
much better that the time is appar-

The ST. Louis Giants, black

they can beat either the White

Since the Races Congress closed
in London last month, civilized
Europe has been shocked at the
hideous exhibitions of race hatred
permitted by thousands of native
Americans in Coatesville, Pennsyl-
vania, and in Oklahoma, who
fiocked to witness torture that
would have disgraced humanity if
inflicted by wild Apaches Eu-
ropes judgment of our right to
pose as civilized nation will be
largely influenced by our stern de-
termination or lukewarmness in
punishment of the murderers.
1t was high time that a Races
Congress should be summoned to
proclaim to the world that this
century has no more important
problems to solve than those in
yolved in the increased contact of
the colored races of the world,
which form the majority of its pop
ulation, with the white race which
forms the minority.
The University of London Of
fered one of its halls, at South
Kensington, for the eight sessions,
through which 1,200 delegates sat
in oppressive July heat in faithful
attendance until the end. The
public was admitted at five shill-
ings session, and every delegate
paid a guinea towards the heavy
expenses of the Congress, which
included giving each member be-
fore opening reports of $500 pag-
es containing the special papers
which experts the world over had
been invited to send. An Ameri-
can edition of this is now being
brought out by the World Peace
Foundation of Boston.
With the exception of a few
passages which one could have
wished omitted this compendium
of information and scientific con-
clusions from the scientists and
economists of every land probably
comprises the latest and best that
can be said on the subject OF In
ter-racial Problems" which is the
title of the book. The Congress,
under the presidency OF Lord
Weardale who was genial and
capable chairman, included Lord
Morley, John Burns, M. F., the
Archbishop of York and other
equally eminent persons among Its
officers. Prof. Felix Adler of New
York at whose suggestion the Con-
gress was held, was very active in
promoting the arrangements. AS

man, were among the most popular
speakers. Among the women
speakers, white-haired Mrs. Bre-
SAINT from India commanded in
slant attention, not only by her
impressive, clear tones, but by her
practical wisdom. In discussing
child marriages she claimed the
solution was to forbid any married
boy to study in any college. She

clusicn of married boys in one

missionaries and public authorities
will force the youth to wait for

The remarkable success of the
American School Peace League
was described by an American
woman, and the work of the Cos
mopolitan Clubs in thirty of our
colleges as presented by their sec
retary, Mr.. Lochner, attracted
such interest that at the close OF
the last session, a special little
meeting of young men was held to
arrange for extension of this work,
which in the United States has
brought 1000 picked students
from sixty nationalities together
and is bound to be mighty inter-
national force for peace. Among
those at this little conclave was an
English professor of political
economy in Chinese college, who
has formed his students into an
English House of Commons, who
intelligently discuss, in English,
current English politics before a
be-wigged speaker of the House.
