The retirement of Miss Ida Overall
from active duties in the school room
after a service of nearly thirty-five
years marks the close Of a public
service of unusual fidelity. Miss
Overall has always carried the rec
ord Of a high class teacher, and her
long presence at Lincoln school has
greatly influenced its substantial tone
and policy. She is a woman of SUI
preme dignity and congeniality, pos
sessing naturally cultivated tastes and
refined ideals. We hope that her re-
tirement from the school room will
only open to her a wider scope of in
fluence among the women of the com
munity and that many years of hap
piness are yet in store for her.

HINDUs SHOULD BEWARE!

Hindu students from practically
every leading American university at
tended the meeting of the Hindustan
Association of the United States at
Chicago last week. They are trying
to encourage the young men and WON
On OF India to attend American
schools.
It may be all right now but if the
number becomes very great they
would be treated in America just as
fro-Americans are treated with con-
tempt. Even now Hindus are prac-
tically barred from the Pacific Coast
and in the South they find it neces-
sary to wear turbans to prevent being
mistaken for Afro-Americans and be-
Ing subjected to the insult and degra-
dation Of the Jim crow car and other
devilish devices Of that benighted sec
ton Of the country.

WORK FOR vARDAMAN AND

Investigation of the history and hab-
its Of the parasites of the cotton boil
Weevil in a more comprehensive way
than ever is proposed by Secretary
Houston of the Department of .Agri-
culture. He wants more funds appro-
priated with which to employ experts.
Here is an excellent opportunity
for Senators Vardaman and Hoax
Smith and Representatives Heflin of
Alabama and Clark of Florida to en-
ploy their talents. Instead Of spend.
ing their time in vilifying Afro-Amer.
lean citizens over whose backs they
have Illegally climbed into power they
might make speeches in Congress in
favor OF an appropriation to eliminate
the boil weevil. This would really aid
the South.

Southern states can not last. They
are founded on injustice, prejudice and
hate. II the Afro American is worthy

them and no power on earth can stay

1t has been the boast of the white
South and the cringing Afro-American

Blease, the brutal governor of South
Carolina has had a bill introduced
which provides that "the two races
shall not be permitted to engage in
the same work at the same time at
any place or in any manner what
soever."
The law is to apply to schools,
Sunday schools, hotels, eating houses,
hospitals nurses in private homes
and HOUSES OF ILL FAME.
That the law recognizes the exist
ence of houses of ill fame is sufficient
to show the state of civilization in
South Carolina.

The ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end of 1912, put for
ward the claim that no solution of the
American color question was possible
except by a resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory.
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about In the
Island of Jamaica, where he was gov.
ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
is British colony and the govern
ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev-
cry civil and political right which white
men have and there is no color line.
Among olher things Sir Sidney said:
MY study and comparison of con-
ditions in the United States and the
West lndies," he said, "has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men are
not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor
evangelical Christian missionaries. I
do not expect them to adopt the meth
DDS of missionaries, nor do I sympa-
thize with all their programmes. But
it cannot be ignored that it happened
that the faiths of the men who laid
the foundations for the peaceful de-
Velopment of the mixed community in
Jamaica were democratic and human
itarian and, above all, uncompromis-
ingly Christian. t
Were race differentiation held to it
must increase civil discord. When the
balance of numbers is as it is in the
South in America it must tend to
foster obscure preparations for civil
war and rebellion. If statesmen and
citizens face in the contrary direction
| do not say that they will attain i'm
mediately civil peace, but am conf
dent that they will be travelling the
only road toward it.
Il do not suggest that race does not
greatly affect facilities for combina-
ton between humans in healthy
national life, but race difference is
only one of many schismatic agencies.
The solution of the difficulty involves
discipline for the white man a
as the black

Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills has
figured out the situation just about as
it is. In an address before the City
Club of New York the other day on
"The Deterioration of the American
Physique" he said: In three genera
tons, at the present rate, this country
will go into the hands of men and
women with foreign names. The good
people are growing better, but the bad
people are growing worse. God takes
care of children, fools and the Amer
lean people, but if He should go to
sleep for five minutes 1 tremble to
think what would become of u.s. He
said the typical building in all the
states is the lunatic asylum and that
when we multiply our population a
few times we will have more crazy
than sane people. Of course, he is
talking about white people.

RACE SEGREGATION BILL.

A bill to segregate all white and col
partments was introduced In the
House of Representative Monday by
Congressman Edwards of Georgia. TIL.
Edwards bill provides that white
clerks or employees shall not be re-
quired to occupy the same Offices or
work rooms with clerks or employees
of African blood or descent, nor shall
any white clerk or employe be placed
under the orders, direction or super
vision of any person of African blood
or descent"
The bill was referred to the com
mittee on reform in the Civil Service.

THE REPUBLICS SHAME.

For the first time in the history of
the United States, the machinery of
the government of 9O,O00,00O people is
being used to humiliate and degrade
100000 Of its loyal and law-abiding
citizens.
In some of the departments of the
Federal Government at Washington
Afro-American employees have been
segregated from their former associ-
ates and fellow workers and ordered
to use separate retiring rooms. In
some instances cages have been built
to separate Afro-American and white
government clerks. No other class is
obliged to bear this badge Of degrade
ton.
There is no warrant in law for these
orders of subordinate officials. The
facts have been brought to the atten-
ton of the Department heads and
thousands of petitions, memorials and
letters have been sent to President
Wilson, but up to this writing he has
not seen fit to rescind this infamous
un-American policy.
The clerks who have been humiliat-
ed by the segregation orders are in no
sense wards of the government. They
have won their places by examina-
and women and the government which
they have SO faithfully and efficiently
served has no right to place upon
them this badge of dishonor.
1t is not question of social equality
that chimera which so many Caucas-
ians claim to fear, but of civil equality
which is the right of every citizen. ;.
Heretofore the attempts to degrade
the citizenry have been the work of
Individual states in the Southern tier;
the Federal Government must be held
responsible for this new attempt to
establish that impossible thing, caste
in Republic.
Honest fair minded Americans feel
that the fair fame of our country is
being trailed in the dust; they hang
is the Nations shame.
We hold President Wilson respon-
sible because in the final analysis the
acts of his subordinate officials are his
and he has the power to end this in
justice by a word.
We have not lost faith in the Presi-
dent and we believe that he will care
fully consider the many protests
which have been made and give the
word which a Christian Statesman
should give, that during his admins
tration there shall be no segregation
or discrimination on account of race,
creed or color among the servants of
the government.

According to statistics of the census
bureau, Minnesota's death rate is the
lowest of any state in the Union.
The Minnesota rate is 1O7, the low
est, against Maryland's 1853, the high
est. Who wouldn't live in Minnesota?
Then, further, at the recent National
Corn Show held at Dallas, Texas,
Minnesota won the worlds sweep
stakes for the best ten ears of early
grown sweet corn, and she also has
the world record of ears of corn fif-
teen inches long. Not only is Mime
sofa healthful, but it produces the
cereals that keep it so. Again, we
say, who wouldn't or, who couldn't
live in Minnesota?
