MAN OF NEGRO ORIGIN:
He Cites Authorities to Disprove
"Pithecanthropos Erectus"
Theory.

Theory.
To the Editor of the Pioneer Press:
One of your recent contributors to
the Mail Bag makes "pithecanthropos
erectus" the Adam of the human fam
lily. But according to such we'll
known authorities as Prof Augustus
H. Kean of the London university,
in his Technology" and MAN, Past
and Present." Prof. Giuseppe Sergi,
professor of anthropology at the Uni
versity of Rome, Italy,, in his work
on 1.-THE Mediterranean Races" and
Our own Prof William z Ripley, in
his work on Races of Europe;" DR..
Brinton, in his Races and Peoples"
as we'll as other scholars versed in
this department of knowledge, re-
pudiate the hypothesis postulated by
the other scientists, and advocate the
following announcements as most
worthy of the. consideration of the
scholars learned in the science of
anthropology:
First-The present races of Europe
are mere offshoots of primitive race
now extinct. This extinct race was
an offshoot of an African or Negro
race, who migrated from Africa into
Europe during the glacial and pre-
glacial period Homo sapiens,"
homo heidelbergensis," "neandertha-
lensis," "loanthropos" and all other
early European troglodytes had an
African, therefore Negro origin.
Chancellor David Starr Jordan of
Leland Stanford university virtually
says ditto to the conclusions of Rip
ley, Kean, Sergi and others. And as
regards the "Aryan race" of the high
schoolroom, why, the science of
ethnology can find no trace of its ex-
istence. The word "Aryan" means
light, learning, culture, education in
the arts, science and industries. 1t is
"linguistic" and not an chronological
term. Theosophical writers and
theosophical literature claim that the
Anglo-Saxon, Celt, Dane, Teuton and
the inhabitants of the United States
are mere "subraces" of the great
root race" which was negroid in char
acter and color, so that the Negro is
the "true ancestor of man." and mans
primitive home was somewhere in
Africa.

AT THE CLOSED GATE OF
JUSTICE.

To be a Negro in day like this
Demands forgiveness. Bruised with
blow on blow,
Betrayed, like him whose woe-dim-
med eyes gave bliss,
Still must one succor those who
brought one low,
To be a Negro in a day like this.
To be Negro in a day like this
Demands rare patience-patience
that can wait
In utter darkness. IT'S the path to
miss,
And knock, unheeded, at an iron
gate,
To be a Negro in a day like this.
To be a Negro in a day like this
Demands strange loyalty. We serve
flag
Which is to US white freedoms en-
phasis.
Ali one must love when truth and
justice lag,
To be a Negro in day like this.
To be a Negro in day like this
Alasl Lord God, what evil have we
done?
Still shines the gate, all gold and anne
thyst,
But pass by, the glorious goal I'M
Merely a Negro"-in day like thisi
won,
