Shooting Baskets.

The Indian basket ball team of
Wahpeton, N. Dak., played the Semi
nary team at the locals gym. last Fri
day evening and won the game by
score of 1920. Seldom, if ever, has
there been team here that could
shoot baskets with the unerring &C.
curacy of the Indians. The game
abounded in sensational shots, with
both teams contributing their share.
Harsted was the big noise for the
Seminary in the scoring line. He
connected for four baskets and as
many fouls. Gordhamer secured two
baskets, while Christian and Nelson
each managed to drop one thru the
net. Johnson contented himself with
playing strictly defensive game.
Captain White at center for the Wis
itors and Birdbill at left forward
were the whole show. The former
connected with the net for ten baskets
and the latter for nine. Tanner Sc
cured three and Teatrout one.

THE RACE is RISING.

The greatest takers the world has
produced have been Caucasians. The.
have feeced their brethren out q.
billions of dollars by means of all
sorts of schemes from religion to
tango. 1t would require too much
space to even name the many plans
of separating their victims from their
coin.
Some time since one Charles A,
Lomax, an Afro-American. became a
little envious of the Caucasians who
were extracting the ..long green"
from their confding brethren and
concluded that he could do something
along that line himself.
homax conceived the idea of teach
ing colored men to be Pullman por-
tiers by mail. Students sent in their
money from all over the country. The
postoffice inspectors say he promised
to get them positions and failed to
make good. He was held to the grand
jury.

"A WISH AND A HOPE"

William Ward Hayes, the veteran
editor Of The Independent New
York;, has a forceful and interesting
article in the 65th Anniversary num-
Der entitled, "A Wish and a Hope"
In which he outlines his ideas of the
future conduct of the magazine.
He indicates some of the evils and
injustices to which too many are
blind in the order of their importance
and he gives race prejudice the first
place, as shown in the following quo
tation from his article:
First, the selfish cruelty which
condemns and penalties socially and
politically millions of our people be-
cause Of their color. This hideous in
justice debases or attempts to debase,
one-eighth of our native citizens be-
cause they have more or less Negro
blood. It also insults the three
mightiest empires of Asia, China, Ja-
pan and India, blocks our success in
our island possessions, and invites our
only danger Of war. I would have
The Independent fight this un- Chris
tian spirit, not occasionally and half
heartedly, but earnestly and persist
entity"
The Afro-Americans Of this country
owe debt Of gratitude to DR.. Hayes,
because he has never failed as a
strong advocate of justice without re-
gard to color, during the sixty years
he has edited The Independent.

SATURDAY, JANUARY "a, 1914.
is VARDAMAN PRESIDENT?

1t looks as if Senator Vardaman OF
Mississippi is the real President of
the United States, at least that he is
debating the reactionary jimcrow pol
icy which has President Wilson
bound hand and foot.
Years ago, many Afro-Americans
who felt secure in their rights mini
mixed the power of Vardaman when
he was making his white man" cam
paign and said that it would never be
possible for such a creature as he to
influence the policy of this great gov
eminent, but now we are face to face
with the fact that Vardaman actually
controls the government of the
United States. He has just delivered
to President Wilson his ultimatum
that he will fight any NEGRO nomina-
tions" to the bitter end
Vardaman, who talks so much
about a white mans government
boasts of his Indian blood and it is
also rumored that he has negro blood
in his veins and he certainly looks
as much like a negro as many men
whom he aclls Negroes"
If Woodrow Wilson is President,
he ought to have the courage to treat
every class of American citizens in
accordance with the principles Of the
New Freedom of which he has writ
ten and talked so much. He swore to
do it when he took his oath of office.
He should order the discontinuance
of segregation of the races in the gov
eminent departments and he should
nominate colored men for Office and
stand by his nominations by recess
appointments until he wins.
The cause for Vardaman's latest
outbreak is the fact that Municipal
Judge Robert HI. Terrill is a candi.
date for reappointment Judge Terrill
was endorsed by 800 of tn elowyers
Of Washington and 20 or more of the
leading law firms wrote personal let
h tiers to the President in his favor, il
being unanimously conceded that he
is the best municipal judge in the
city. He is also recommended by
Attorney General McReynolds.

favor any unlawful methods in any

case, but certainly if some black man
would in some way assist old Varda-
man to suddenly start on his trip to
Hades, we would shed no briny tears
and would hail him as hero.
That all of the whites do not in
dorse Vardaman's ideas is shown in
the following editorial from the St.
Paul Dispatch:
LET COLORED JUDGE STAY. s
President Wilson has a hard time
of it placating the Southern fire-eat-
ers who see red every time it is pro-
posed to help the Negro. But he has
gone far enough in that direction and
public opinion will back him up in his
apparent determination to reappoint
Robert R. Terrell, a Negro, as munic.
ipal judge of the District of Colum.
bia
The public will be the more anxi-
GUS that Judge Terrell be continued
in office because Senator Vardaman
Of Mississippi has served notice on
the President that he will oppose the
appointment It is nothing to Varda-
man that Terrell has served we'll as
municipal Judge. It is nothing to
Vardaman that the retention of Judge
Terrell in office will be an inspiration
to other colored men in their struggle
upward. Terrell is niger" and
that damns him in Vardaman's eyes.
If there could be more narrow view
point than this, it has not been dis
closed. Instead of condemning Ter
rell, Vardaman condemns himself and
that section of the white race which,
instead of encouraging the colored
race, employs every means to keep
the shackles on the Negro. Let
President Wilson reappoint Judge

Brig.-Gen. John ]. Pershing, former
military governor of Mindanao, says
that the Moros of the Philippine ISL
ands have been pacifed and that they
will be good unless someone attempts
to interfere with the Mohammedan
religion. There is no reason why
Americans should attempt to convert
the Moros. They have a good reli-

cept the jimcrow Christianity of the
American Caucasians.
