The Children's Home is the scene
of many tragedies. The history Of
every ward of this institution must
be pathetic, for it only Is sadness
that takes children to the homo,
Several weeks ago a middle-aged
woman visited the Home She was
accompanied by a bright-faced, but
poorly dressed girl
Il want you to take this child and
keep her." the woman commanded.
I'm tired of having her about and
you'll have to take her"
"Who is her father and what has
he to say about it?" she was asked.
1--WE cannot take children without
consent of both parents and without
reason.
"Well, I'm her stepmothcr and II
her father wants her, he'll have to
give me up" she replied
She was told to return with her
husband
Several days later the woman
again visited the Home. This time
she was accompanied by her hus-
band. The father of the child was
asked to make his choice and he left
with the woman. The child has
since been charge Of the Home.
This child, with the tender care
of Mother McEwen, is thousand
times better off than she ever was
in the home OF her stepmother. With

black skinned, thick Tipped, brutal
hearted African can walk into an
off &C of the law and demand an edict
guaranteeing him legal wedlock to
q white woman" was one of many
sensational features of a speech in
the House, today, by Representative
Rodden berry, of Georgia, in favor OF
a resolution he had introduced to
prohibit inter-marriage of whites and
negroes.
The measure, q direct result Of the
recent marriage of Jack Johnson, the
n2cr1 puGiiist, With a white girl, did
not set t. 2 vote, but it enlivened a
dam days proceedings and incident
ally aided in a filibuster by Represen-

ably the middle of January.
2 MIR. Roddenberry prophesied that
the Aessi sanction offmixed marriages
ultimately might bring this country
to conflict He declared that all
brutality, infamy or degradation in
all the days of southern slavery,
possessed none Of the villainous char
acteristics and atrocious qualities as
the permission of that marriage by
the laws of the country.
Assail Chicago Traffic.
In Chicago, he said, not only is the
white slave traffic carried on, but
the white girls of this country are
made the slaves of an African brute,
sanctioned by the laws of the state,
and solemnized by the form of the
marriage ceremony.
MIR. Roddenberry added:
eve say this is a great country
with its morals, traditions, virtues
and examples, deserving to be emu
lated and cnvied by the other coun-
tries Of the earth; but we see an
African with much brutal force, with
no moral character, with no stamina
in defiance Of the laws of Illinois
yea, in accordance with the laws OF
Illinois-in defiance Of the munici-
pal regulations, entering the office OF
the probatiug magistrate or other
legal offices in that city and calling
out him to issue to 'me, Jack John
SON." a marriage license to wed a
young American woman of our own
blood and of our own color"
The speaker declared that "in the
fellowship between the blacks and
the whites in the South, the blacks
respected the superiority of their
former marriage and would commit
seif-destruction "before entertaining
the thought of matrimony with a
.Caucasion girl"

of an ancient one in the Milford over

tower is memorial to some historic

the sculptured head of an Indian, sup

tower door once belonged to the
Sid house where George Whitfield
