Baby McLean's Birthday Party Breaks All Records

ID 600 birthday party, given the other
day at the Walsh home in Washing

and ingenious entertainments.
Gifts came in hundred lots, and in
hundred lots they continued to come
for several days. The greater number
are yet to be opened for the inspection
of the youthful recipient and pair of
secretaries will be required to get the
notes of thanks off in proper time.
The one best gift of the whole col
lection, however, is the snow burro
which came as a gift from Mrs. Nc
Lean to her only son. The burro has
long pedigree and shaggy coat and
a perfect disposition. He arrived sew
eral days ago, December 1S, being the

"A NOTABLE POEM"

The Minneapolis Tribune recently
gave evidence Of it's inclination to deal
fairly with the Afro-American by re-
ferring editorially to a poem from the
pen of James w. Johnson under the
caption of "A Notable Poem" The
poem was written in commemoration
of the tiftieth anniversary of Abraham
Lincoln's emancipation proclamation,
and Its stanzas have a rythm and
swing and resonance which will not
permit it to be forgotten"
Says the Tribune:
The view is one of sublime encour-
agement, Notwithstanding the many
prejudices and wrongs with which the
colored race still has to contend. But
the uplifting, inspiring note of the
poem is that in which the author
counsels his brethren never to harbor
the thought that they are here on suf-
ferance, or that they are outcasts and
aliens.
This land is ours by right of BIRTH
This land is ours by right of toll.
we helped to turn its virgin earth
Our sweat is in it's fruitful soil.
This is not claim to any exclusive
possession, but simply to fair part
and lot in the countrys citizenship.
This is finely expressed in the follow
ing StanZa
NO! Stand erect and without fear,
And for our foes let this suffice
we've bought rightful sonship here,
And we have more than paid the
price.
A poem like this might well date a
new emancipation of the race-an
emancipation from any timid doubts
or ultimate justice, or servile fears to
assert their right of manhood. Such
literary inspiration may do as much
for the spiritual elevation CT the col
ored people as Lincoln's proclamation
ala Tor their political elevation.
