Asks Applause When Due and No
Special Label on 0ffenses Com
mitted by Race.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 81
Loyalty to the United States and Stars
and Stripes. with expressions for the
future welfare Of ten millions Of
negro people, was proclaimed by the
National Negro Press Association at
its last session in this city. when
the representatives from 126 publica-
tions, through their organizations,
issued an address to the American
people.
The facts concerning the address
were given out by the corresponding
secretary Henry A. Boyd. Of this city.
who states that this address was pre-
pared by a committee consisting of
c. v. Roman. chairman, Nashville.
Tenn; w. E. King of Dallas, Tex;
Joseph L. Jones Of Cincinnati, Ohio:
Emmett j. Scott of Tuskegee Institute.
Ala, and T. c. Stewart of Wilberforce,
Ohio. This document. which made up
the report of the committee, says, In
part:
The National Negro Press Associa
tion in convention assembled takes
this opportunity TO consider the con-
dition Of the country. especially in SO far
as 1t concerns the negro.
Made Part of Citizenry.
the fact that for the past fifty years
the Afro-American element has been
by law made part of the citizenry
Of the republic. The National Negro
Press Association believes that there
are many evidences everywhere COW
ering every walk of life to show that
the Christian white element is doing
much to advance the civilization and
progress of the negro peoples.
In the fields of Journalism we are
gratifled to bear witness to the grow
ing liberality of a large element of
the white press, not confined to any
section of the country.
In the field of religious effort there
has been no time when white Chris
t!ons showed higher respect for the
great doctrine of the Fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of man than
now.
In the field of education we make
haste to bear testimony to the great
and growing philanthropy which is
laying itself upon the educational al
tar of the race. There is unmistaka-
BILE evidence that white America is
coming to the unalterable opinion that
the strength of the nation is not in
its armies and navies and embattled
cities. but rather in the virtue and
intelligence of the people.

Ask Equal Law Rights.

I'VE call specially upon those who are
charged with the Interpretation and en-
forcement of the law to attend its
benefits without bias to US, to the end
that the struggling millions of the col
ored race may continue to hope for
that governmental encouragement
which should be the heritage of the
humblest American citizen.
The strong need the restrictions OF
the law and the weak need it's pro-
lection. When the former lose re-
spect for the law and despise its re-
strictions, or the latter lose faith in
its fairness and doubt the justice OF
is In danger. Fitness and not race is
the only safe test for citizenship If our
country Is to become in reality the
land Of the free and the home of the
tion by faithful service to our own
cultural unity, so the national well
fare Will be best promoted by the
general acceptance OF the good old
democratic doctrine of equal and exact
justice to all and special privilege to
none
Seek Applause When Due.
I'VE appreciate the growing liberal
ity OF the American press and wish to
assure 1t that we will not disappoint it
II It will only play US up emphasizing g
our virtues and letting our vices go
into the general cauldron of crime
without special label.
Applaud US when we run, console US
when we fall, cheer US when we re-

PROVIDERS RANSACK
STATION At MILTON

MILTON, Ind, June 9.-Some one
entered the Lake Erie and Western
railroad station here, either Saturday
or Sunday night. They secured nothing
Of Importance. 1t is thought that they
made an entrance at the bay window
over the desk in the agents office and
then closed the window and went out
by the freight door. Mr. Borders. sta
ton master closed his office Saturday
evening after the last train due here
at 6 p. m. southwark bound, had pass
ed. He had no occasion to visit the
station until Monday morning The
disarrangement of papers in his office
at the window gives the inference that
the providers came in that way The
office lamp was taken into the freight
room where it is dark and no light
would be discovered. This they left
on the floor. No money had been left
in the office by the station master.

alternately along the branches and in
dense terminal clusters. The flowers
are very peculiar in their construction,
the corolla being deep saucer or bowl
shaped, with five short broad lobes;
on the outside around the bottom edge
of the bowl are ten small humps that
inside the coro1la form little pockets to
receive the anthers of the slender white
stamens, curving from the center of
the blossom like the spokes of wheel.
Both moths and bees visit these flowers
in quest of the little supply of nectar
that is secreted about the base of the
greenish pistil. The flower stems are
sticky so that only winged insects can
get to the interior.

the ravines are bowlder-st and in
many part of their course the streams
splash and foam through gorges into

sides, their depth and the shade of
trees little sunlight enters. Those
branches passing through the woods
and entering the Potomac in the neigh
borhood of Prospect Rock are Scott s
