BOSTON WOMEN HOLD BIG
ANTI-LYNCHING MEETING.
Senators Asked to Introduce Bill Max

Boston.-At a lynching protest mass
meeting in Faneuil hall held recently
under the auspices of committee OF

Congressman Mccall at Washington
to offer bills in the senate and the
house making iynching wherever per-

whether they be black or white. and
not to be so easily lynched."
In stirring address on "Lynching
and American Public Opinion" Rev. r.
c. Ransom of New York city said that
lynchings primarily sprang out of the
desire of the former saveholding
states to rcpress the Negro. The south.
he claimed. in order to justify itself in
these barbarities began by blackenins
his character and by painting him as
monster who menaced the safety OF
women
Negroes themselves he said. ''are
largely to blame for the contempt in
which they are held and the impunity
with which their liberties and their
lives may be invaded Sheriffs. may.
ors. courts. governors. will not take
seriously into account the interests of
a people who have lost or surrendered
the right to retaliate or call them to
account at the ballot box. Mobs do
not quail when there is no fear that
their wild brutalities will be answered
by volley CT bullets"
He said the action of this govern
ment in abrogating the treaty with
Russia furnishes a striking example as
to how the lynching evil can be com.
bated.
I'VE would advise" he said. that
Negro subjects of the British empire
who come to this country numerously
from the British West Indies travel
freely throughout the southern states
and when they are jimcrowed and
otherwise assaulted and degraded that
they appeal to the British government
on the ground that their treaty rights
have been violated"
within the past twenty-six consecu-
tive years there have been recorded
22.0OO lynchings of colored Americans
in the United States. Not one lyncher
has been punished" said Mrs. w. Mon
roe Trotter.
Think Of the father with his son
and daughter murdered on their way
to the cotton gin with the products Of
their labor the father and son tied to
the cart and burned. the daughter shot
in the back.
Tf these are not horrible enough to
move you to sympathy. then think Of
the mother torn from her sucking
babe. raped and with her fourteen
year-old son dragged through the
streets of city and hanged to the
ties of a bridge! Think of those bod
les swinging in the air. and If these
do not move you to action God help

ESSAY ON ADVERTISING.
Abstract Theories Not So Help
full as Careful Observation.
By ALBION LEWIS HOLSEY,


. A man who recently died in
. Chicago started an agitation
. which may revolutionize our sys-
. TEN of education He sought to
discourage the burdening of chill
. dren's minds with abstract theo-
: ries and formulae. believing, on
the other hand. that the child
. should first be taught to observe.
When the child mind is so train
ed that it unconsciously forms
an opinion of shape and color we
: will then have laid the founda-
ton for a better education.
Many people read papers and
are not able to tell anything they
.. saw except the fashion, sporting
or editorial page. while the other
departments are passed by un-
noticed.
With an education based on OBJ
servation the average reader
would get more real benefit from
. papers than they do now.
. A decade ago the advertise
ments were either bombaStic in
. appearance. including exagger-
: ated statemsnts and impossible
propositions. or were simply
meaningless words which an
. nounced that such and such a
firm was in business. Now
things are different. for in all
first class periodicals advertise
: ments are written in an educa-
. tional. instructive manner. and
: people who read them carefully
. learn many things which help
: them to save time and also to cut
. down expenses.
Advertisements of standard
lied. trademarked goods Is the
best thermometer to gauge the
march of progress of invention
and scientific research. and no
newspaper or magazine should
be discarded until it has been
read with the greatest care.

COLORADO LOAN
 COMPANY ROBBED
Negroes Are Charged With Breaking Window in the
 Downtown District

Louis Thretts' and Willie Henry, ne- Sroes, were arrested yesterday morning by Detectives Daly, Cole and Murphy charged with robbing the show window of the Colorado Loan company, 120 North Twentieth street, yesterday morning at { clock.
 The window was broken Sunday night about 9 o'clock by the negroes, who state that they did it with a hammer and not with a diamond, as was first surmised. owing to delicate burglar alarm sys- tenn maintained by A. Rich. the proprietor, they were frightened away at the time The borders of the plate glass windows are frezed with narrow strip of metal which carries a current of electricity. When this current Is broken an alarm is sounded at the Western Union Telegraph company
 After they had broken the window. the negroes did not want to <. c up. They re- turned yesterday morning at o'clock and took five pistols, valued at about s20 apiece Four of these pistols have been recovered The arrest of the negroes was made within four hours after the window was burglarized. Two of the guns were recovered at the time of the arrest and two since then.
 Detective Daly stated last night that he would have the other gun recovered by morning. Warrants will be sworn out this morning charging the negroes with burglary and grand larceny and they will be transferred to the county jail.
