while here and listened to his story of
Little Rocks growth from almost q

most pretentious commercial city; lis
tened to his story Of the progress Of
the rae and the part he has played in
1t from the time he was one Of the

quest Of gold nuggets down to the
present time, when his race controls
more than $1,OOO,OOO Of real estate In
this city. .
Before the judge retired, and that
was a number Of years ago, he was re-
puted to be one Of the wealthiest Ne

$4,000 when he married, more than
sixty years ago, and has not had a dol

he possesses still all the charm and

much about Little Rock, much about

The many beautiful homes owned
and occupied by Negroes here, the
splendid business houses in Ninth

Identified. This tells how that mort
gage happened to be placed on the old
home Of the great leader.
BY act of congress a board of trus-
tees was created to have charge of the
home, but 1t came to these congress
sionally provided administrators with
a mortgage and without funds to even
keep up repairs, the result being that
the once handsome home, the once fine
old estate, is rapidly passing to decay
and the mortgage Is pressing for pay
ment.
Several attempts have been made to
arouse sufficient interest on the part Of
the race to pay of this mortgage and
put the home in proper repair In order
first to save the home to the race and
to preserve the historical relics, etc., 1t
contains, but not sufficient has been
contributed to even keep up the inter
est on the debt.
It Is figured that If $4,000 is raised
by the race 1t will be sufficient to pay
OF the mortgage and restore the build
ing and estate to its former beauty
and make Of the home a historical
and memorial site to be visited by
thousands each year, just as the old
home Of George Washington at Mount
Vernon Is maintained as a historical
retreat.
There are fifteen acres in the Doug
lass estate, and 1t occupies the most
beautiful point In all Washington, over
looking the Potomac, as It does, and
being within ten minutes ride Of the
White House or the halls Of congress.
But unless the race responds to the
last appeal, and responds quickly, the
old home may be lost.

example In both word and deed.
Thus twice within the space Of one

In the state and that our race is but
fifty years removed from slavery and
only twenty years removed from 8
period when school facilities stood only
as the antonym for encouragement,
this per capita wealth is a wonderful
achievement. It also emphasizes the
good results of education.
To prove that our race In Little Rock
is as eager for brain wealth as it is for
material wealth there are seven public
schools and two colleges for higher
education" In this community Of 2O,-
COO colored people there are seventy
eight teachers in the public schools
and fifty instructors in the two col
leges. There are fifteen Baptist, twelve
Methodist churches and one each Of
the Roman Catholic, Congregational,
Presbyterian and Episcopal denomina.
tiOns to inculcate Christianity and high
moral ideals.
The race in this city is engaged in
practically every line Of business found
among the white people except bank
ing. This success is due largely be-
cause Of cooperation and race pride
The cOlored people have $3.50, 900 in
vested in business enterprises and own
trif1e over 81 100000 worth Of real
estate-a very encouraging showing in
deed.
There are three lawyers, who enjoy
q splendid practice; ten physicians. who

race. Luther Moore Is president Of the
Local Negro Business league. Mrs.

and Mrs. M. e. Jeffries, with Mrs. Pan
key, form a quartet Of energetic, intel.
ligent and successful business women.
In my more than 10000 miles trav-

Washington.-There have been num-
Der Of inquiries, says Ralph w. Tyler
Of this city, as to the existing mort
gage on the old home here Of the late
Frederick Douglass. Many cannot un-
derstand why the home should rest un-
der mortgage when Mr.. Douglass
was supposed to have been quite well
OF at his death. The estate Of Mr..
Douglass did mount up to quite
sum at his death. A defective will,
made defective by an insufficient num-
Der Of witnesses, caused the property
to be distributed according to law rath-
OR than according to the will Of the
testator. q
The widow Of Mr.. Douglass desired
that the old house, containing a mu-
scum Of anti-slavery and Douglass
relics, the furniture, books, manu-
scripts and curios of the great orator,
publicist and anti-slavery leader, should
be bequeathed to the race as q me-
mortal to her husband. To do this 1t
was necessary for her to buy In the
home from the other heirs that she
might have clear title to it. This
she did. giving $4,000 for the old
homestead on Cedar hill. p
In order to make the purchase, how
ever, it was necessary for her to bor-
row money with which to purchase the
equity of the other heirs. She died

gage In her last will and testament

THE STRUGGLES OF RACES.
Sweeping Injunction Against Unfair
ness Of One Race to Another.

Sweeping Injunction Against Unfair.
ness Of One Race to Another.
All races have been subjugated, de-
graded and enslaved at some time and
have had to pass through an ordeal as
severe as the one that the blacks have
been passing through in this country
for the last 300 years and more, says
Henry T. Norman in Thoughts Met
on the Highway" Races are much
like vegetables. They grow, bloom,
and 60 to seed, and Of the many seeds
Of many races new nation springs
up. When Il nation is once broken and
scattered 1t never comes together again.
A nation that once dies never lives
again as a nation. Its fragments min
gle with other races and help to make
new nations.
That Is just what the blacks are do
ing in this country today. II all the
African blood there is in this country
was covered with black skins there
would be about 2O.OOOO0O of black
people in the United States, whereas
now there are only between 100000
persons within the limits Of the city
Of Lynn. Mass. that have African
blood in them who pass for white.
And this was the redeeming quality
In slavery, for it Is proved by ancient
history. both sacred and profane, as
well as by everything that Is traceable
to antiquity, that the blacks were once
q great nation. But now they are not
q nation and never will be. The only
way to raise them up from the heathen-
ish and barbarous state into which
they had sunken was to have them
pass through the ordeal Of slavery.
That Is just what makes the Ameri-
can nation superior to all other ma
tons. 1t opens wide its doors, or did
at one time, and says to all races,
"Come and be one with us: we neither
fear nor hate you" The nation that Is
not willing to receive within its bor-
ders all those of other races and ma
tions that are willing to come and give
them all the advantages of all its insti-
tutions is nothing but community Of
tyrants and towards.
There Is nothing more ignorant and
disgusting than the shoddy saying in
this country that all races had better
keep by themselves" Those that
preach that heathenish and cowardly
doctrine are they who hold prejudice
against the blacks. But it does not
hurt whatever, for they, though per-
haps the largest In numbers, are the
weakest portion Of the nation. The
best people-those who are headlights,
pillars of truth, the real salt and power
Of the earth, Gods own mouthpieces-
have no prejudice against races.
Therefore all that Is required Of any
man, black or white, as qualifications
to enter the best society on earth are
contempt for pride and all vain things,
q soul consecrated to God and mind
given to the contemplation Of the fixed
principles of truth, for 1t was want Of
these qualifications that brought all
races into bondage to their own pride
and lusts first and then into weakness,
ignorance and barbarism. And It fs
the want Of these same qualifications
that makes many people degrade them
selves with prejudice against the
blacks and other races In this country.
