SIMPLE JUSTICE

If the Negroes who represent
character and culture received
greater credit for it at the hands
of our white friends they might be
relied upon to do a little more in
the direction of reforming what is
known "as the lower class" among
them, but when it is insisted that
there is no difference between
them, when real respectable color
ed people are deprived of the ac,
commodation and esteem, which
should be sure and certain reward
for upright conduct it is quite ma
tural for them to grow careless
with regard thereto. Our plea is
IF simple justice is done to the
good and well meaning Negro, he
will contribute as much to the pre-
servation of good government,
obedience to law and order, and
the evolution to Christian conduct
as any other people under the sun.
Let our white friends resolve to
help us stimulate our more illite-
rate and less resposible people to
grow better, and the millennium of
peace will dawn upon us, as the
sun beams fall from the heavens
above. "Honor to whom honor is
due" is the text, and the sermon
breaches itself. The strong white
race, with centuries of culture and
freedom behind it and firm and
steady discipline finds many oddi-
ties and distractions, many strange
and grave peculiarities within it.

tions which it would like to see al.

ers, editors, orators, historians and

conference which has just closed
its work in Baltimore, in speaking
of the unification of the three
Methodisms, said: 1.-The world
waits with baited breath for the
answer of the Methodist Episcopal
Church General Conference decis-
ion of the SouthernsM. E. Church
as expressed by its general con-
ference and to which Bishop
William Burt pertinently replied,
There is revival on and 1 hope
that it is SO warm that it will melt
Methodism together. We are wait
ing for the gentle south to come
nearer to u.s." and
Whereas, in our judgment this
tentative plan providing for iuris-
dictional conferences will throw
US upon our own resources, will en-
able us to stand upon our feet, will
make us competent to act and plan
for ourselves, will quicken race
conscience, self-reliance and race
solidarity; therefore be it resolved
First, That we, in order to facil.
itate action, record ourselves as
favoring the jurisdictional or quad.
rennial plan, that we regard it as a
providential way, which if adopted
by the next general conference will
lead the church out of difficulties
and embarrassments.
Second, That we declare it a plan
eminently to be desired, because
as the editor of the Zion Herald
has declared, in the main, all the
interests of the colored member
ship full fiedged bishops, having
equal authority with those of the
white membership, because it will
give them that freedom of action to
develop within their own border as
self-constituted body, which free.
dom they cannot now enjoy.
Third, That we approve this
plan because in their arrangement
it would open the way for real op-
portunity for development of the
race along all lines, and it would
quicken it's aspirations and give it
an impetus that would be magical
in its effects and consequences.
For these reasons | move the
adoption of these resolutions.

The act of turning, or of being

the spiritual change by which the

do not necessarily have any con.

One may never drink, or steal, etc,

Baltimore, Md, April 21.-The
most important action taken at the
Washington Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
which came to an end at John
Wesley M. E. Church on Monday
night, April 10, was the adoption
of resolution offered by the Rev.
Ernest Lvon, asking that the law
of the church be changed to per-
nit of organic union with other
Methodist bodies, which will pro.
vide Negro bishops for Negro con-
ferences.
Bishop Earl Cranston, who pre-
sided over the session, the Rev.
Carlton d. Harris, representative
of the Southern M. E. Church,
and Bishop William Hurt of the
Baltimore annual conference have
expressed approval of the plan of
organic union, and the matter now
rests with the general conference
of the M. E. Church South.
The resolutions offered by DR..
Lyon, and adopted by an over
whelmipg vote, are as follows:

Heirs Immediately File Suit to Re-
cover on $4,000 in Stocks-Giri.
Searching Garret, Runs Across
Old Bible.

st. Louis.-Suit has been filed by
the heirs of John Gilmore Shelton, who
at his death in 1869 was regarded as
one of the wealthiest st. Louisans. to
recover from the William H. Thomp-
son Trust company and the National
Bank of Commerce on thirty shares
of gas company stock valued at 100000
which were found by Shelton's grand
daughter, Miss Oracle ]. Rives, in 1910,
after they had been lost since the own
er's death.
The stock was in the old st. Louis
Gas company, which was taken over
by the Laclede Gas company in 1890.
1t is claimed by the Shelton heirs that
no accounting was ever made for the
thirty shares they knew their grand
father had possessed. but were IN
able to find.
The petition asks that the defend
rata value of these shares at the time
of the sale, estimated at 100000, and
in addition compound interest at
per cent from January /. 1890. This
would increase the aggregate claim to
more than 100000.
Miss Rives said that for several
years prior to 1910 she and her mother
had made their home with her uncle,
John G. Shelton, Jr. She always
helped with the spring housekeeping.
In 1910 she gave the house a more
thorough cleaning than ever before.
In garret storeroom were many
pieces of old furniture which had not
been disturbed for years. She found
a solid mahogany library table covered
with dust. In one side was drawer
so constructed that at first glance it
was not noticeable. She opened the
drawer and found lot of faded pa
pers. Under them was an old Bible.
In turning the leaves of the Bible
she came across a folded paper, yell
lowed with age. She took it to her
uncle, who examined 1t and found il
waa the certificate for the lost stock
Among the other papers in the
drawer were found certificate for
fifty shares of stock in the Missouri
Wine company, now the American
Wine company; a certificate for forty
shares in the old Ohio and Mississippi
railroad and certificate for several
shares in the old Pacific railroad. II
