concerning the heredity Of mental and
moral traits remain unwurranted.
1t Is IN open question whether with
equal facilities and equal care the chill.
dren of different races would show
widely different mental and moral de
velopment.
The statement expressed so oftel
that intermarriage or mixture Of races
leads to degeneracy is unwarranted
and contradicted. to some extent II
least. by recent Investigations. The eX
periments of Burbank. East and Schall
have proved concluSiveIy that race
mixture may improve the breed. III
view of these and other considerations
the writer is of the opinion that 1t Is
not only contrary to justice. hut also
contrary to scientific facts to deny
the colored people equal rights and
equal economic. social and educational
facilities with the whites.

PROFESSOR JACQUES LOEB
ON RACIAL lNFERIORfTY.
Great Mental Powers Are Not Limited
to Special Races. He Says.

New York.-Professor Jacques Loeb
Of Columbia university in .E;s city was
prevented by illness fr ~ attending
the recent cOnferen. Z of The National
Association For the Advancement of
ColOred People held in Baltimore. The
subject assigned to Professor Loeb
was "Heredity and Racial lnleriority."
Here are few extracts from the ad-
dress prepared by Professor Loeb for
the occasion:
The modern work on heredity has
shown that hereditary characters are
as rule not linked. but are transmit
ted independently of each other. 1t is
therefore contrary to all known facts
to say that with a augmented skin or
with certain type of eyes must nee
essarily be connected a lower degree of
intelligence or moral control.
Practically nothing is known con
corning the mechanism or the heredity
Of mental or moral traits 1t seems
that certain talents run in certain fam
, ilies-that is to say. unusual mathe-
NAUTICAL ability. musical ability ana tai
ent for drawing. All known facts indi
cate that they are not limited to spe-
cia races. but that they are the pc
suliarity Of certain strains or families.
independently Of race.
We do not even know to what ex,
tent the development of mental and
moral traits depends upon the condi-
ton Of the brain and the nervous sys-
tenn alone. and to what extent upon
the action of chemical substances pro-
duced in other organs of the body in
the form of internal secretions. Until
this is settled all positive statements

APPRECIATION.

We believe that the efforts of the
Women's Clubs, especially of Mime
sofa should be given unlimited space
in our columns. We have always at
tended their gatherings when able and
always reported their proceedings
often times criticized their apparent
neglect of their work. But the Star
encourages the work everywhere,
knowing that it represents the noblest
ideals of true womanhood, and is a
woman's greatest legacy to posterity
We thank the ladies of the Federation
for many honors granted us, and hope
to see the day when the Negro press
will give as much publicity to their
work for "Our men, women and chill
dren" as they do to many other less
important affairs.-Chas. Sumner

A SQUARE DEAL.

For every kith. kin or tribe let ~
have a square deal It matters not
whether the accused is a lew. Greek
or Gentle. let justice be done though
the heavens fall And the only way
to administer justice absolutely and
impartially is by the measure Of the
Golden Rule. Just shift places. Place
yourself in the other fellows position
and then treat the other fellow just
as you would have the other fellow
treat you. or as you would be treated
under similar circumstances. Atlanta
