THE NEGRo's PROGRESS

Under the heading "A Half
Century Anniversary of Negro
~ Freedom" the State of Illinois
announces that in August, 1915,
it will celebrate in Chicago the birth
day of full liberty for the negro in the
United States. The commission having
the celebration in charge has gathered
much enlightening information as to
the manner in which the colored race
has responded to its emancipation.
The commission finds that freedom
has done much for the American
negro. 1t has given him over 20,0O0,-
according to the report. 1t has
reduced the percentage of illiteracy
from 90 per cent. to 80 per cent,
while the black population has been
increasing from 100000 to nearly
10, 900, 900. In half a century the
number of negro churches has in
creased from a little over 400 to
81, 900 more than that number, or
1850 per cent. In 1863 there was but
one periodical published by negroes
Now there are 39S. Negroes operated
100 insurance companies and 70
banks in 1918. A score of other in
stances of the material prosperity of
the negro race are cited in the report.
But, great as 1t has been, it is not
the material progress of the negro
that astounded the commission most.
To quote the report: "Our information
blanks have gone and returned from
every part of the world where civil
lied negroes live. They prove beyond
doubt that the intellectual, moral
and spiritual uplift of this important
portion of the human race exceeds its
material growth. Especially is this
true in the American republic, where,
from former contempt and ridicule.
they have passed to the sympathy and
wonderment of their white neighbors.
while from their own souls the negro
people have arisen from apathy and
self-depreciation to more and more
just and manly self-assertion."
These are facts that should encour-
age every negro to better efforts No
men anywhere are doing nobler work
under more difficult conditions than
are the leaders of the colored race
in America to-day, as typified, for in
stance, by the late lamented Professor
Day or our own DIR. Marshall.

Unique Pardon Gases to Be
Heard by Gov. and Council.
State Dairy Instructor Is Or
ganlzlng Cow Test Assn.
AFoosiook Teachers Assn. 20 Their
Capitol jottlngs.

Two unique pardon cases, the first of
the kind in the history of Maine juris-
prudence, will come to the attention
of the Governor and Council Wednes-
day. The novelty Of the cases lies in
the fact that neither Of the petitioners
have ever been actually committed to
jail, although they were sentenced in
due form in the supreme judicial
court for Knox county. The applicants
for executive clemency are Fred w.
Throwbridge. proprietor Of the Knox
House at Thomaston, and Fred M.
Blaclsington, member OF the Rock
land board Of aldermen.
A prominent citizen of Thomaston,
80 the story goes, while in an intox-
icated condition, visited the Knox ho-
tel and created a disturbance with the
result, 1t is claimed, that he was put
out by the landlord, Mr.. Throwbridge,
Because of the fact that he was not
allowed to remain in the hotel the cit
izen was so offended that it is alleged
that he made a complaint with the re-
suit that at the September term of the
supreme court for Knox county in 1918
Throwbridge was indicted for MAIN
tanning a nuisance. He was arraigned,
pleaded not guilty, filed a demurrer
and exceptions and was sentenced to
pay o fine of $500 and costs and to
serve 80 days additional in Jail. This
was Throwbridge's first offence and
the sentence was imposed by the pre-
siding justice, Warren c. Philbrook Of
W2terville.
Throwbridge asks in his plea that a
portion of the sentence, carrying the
term in jail be eliminated. Hon. Arthur
8. Littlefield of Rockland is the attor-
ney for the petitioner.
In the other pardon case-that of
Fred NJ. Blackington, a Rockland al
derman-it is being claimed that on
March 26, 1913. he attempted to extort
money from f. L. Hewitt of Rockland,
accusing him of selling liquor and say
ing to him: II want my graft and If

You don't pay me before three days
will put you out of business" At the
April term of the supreme judicial
court for Knox county. Blackington
was indicted under Sec. IS, Chap. 119 of
the Revised Statutes. He was con-
victed and sentenced to serve four
months in the county Jail. Exceptions
were taken and the case went to the
law court where il was argued at the
June term in Portland. A few months
later the law court handed down an
opinion overruling the exceptions. The
execution of the sentence OF four
months was stayed pending the decis-
ion of the law court and IL the Gov
ernor and Council do not intervene,
Blackington will be in line to begin
his sentence at the January term OF
the supreme court which is now in ses-
sion at Rockland.
Blackington- asks that pardon be
granted him by the Governor and
Council for the following reasons:
First-Because through unfortunate
circumstances he has been found
guilty of an offence that is not true in
fact.
Second-Because through the techni-
ealities of the law, he was not able to
show in court his innocence by any
evidence at his command; that the
State was able to show apparently ev-
idence to satisfy the jury of his guilt,
while on his part, he was excluded
from. showing evidence proving his in
nocence and honest motives.
Third-Because in all that he did he
was endeavoring to the best of his
ability to secure evidence to stop graft
which was reversed against him by his
accusers.
Fourth-Because he has always tried
to be good citizen so far as he him
self knows how to be and does not
countcnance blackmail or graft.
Fifth.-Because If he be made to sur
fer this punishment he will be punish
ed wrongfully, and there Will be
miscarriage OF justice and stain piac-
ed forever upon his name and charac-
ter.
