KEEP OUT OF HAITI.

The United States government has
no right to NEEDLE with the interna
affairs of any nation however small
If the people chose to kill each other
it is their own affair.
The ultimatum to Haiti is the act Of
a big bully nation to plucky little
republic which has maintained it's in
dependence through more than a cen
fury against tremendous odds.
All this talk about the brutality OF
the Haitians is pure rot and is largely
because Of their color. Conditions in
Haiti are no worse than in many other
small republics in the Western Hem
isphere.
Before bullying the little country
the United States ought to find some
way of eliminating the lawlessness
and burnings and mob murders which
are so numerous within our own
borders.
More outrages have been committed
In Europe in single day than have
occurred In Haiti in a hundred yearA
but the fear of the big guns Of the
powers has prevented Uncle Sam from
butting in.

TROUBLE FOR HYPHENIsM.
From all parts of the country in
formation is coming that true Ameri.
cans intend to fight hyphenism.
A national organization of Ameri-
can citizens of foreign birth or
parentage to discourage "hyphepated
Americanism" has been formed in
New York. Twenty-four persons, who
responded to a circular distributed by
a committee headed by William Lust
garten, formed themselves into a
provisional committee to encourage
the fight on dual citizenship. ~
A letter from Col. Roosevelt to Mr..
Lustgarten was read at this meet
ing. 1t said in part: -
Il welcome the work of your So
ciety in working against the most
sinister and evil of all movements
which would tend to destroy our ma
tional unity and to split us into a
tangle Of warning German-Americans,
lrish-Americans, English-Americans,
French-Americans and Scandinavian
Americans. You and I are fellow
Americans-just plain, straight out,
ordinary Americans"
The Christian Register has this to
say on hyphenism:
Why do we tolerate hyphens in the
names we give to our several groups
and classes? A hyphen is a danger
signal in this country-sometimes it
is even peril. Why not allow a man
three years in which to get the hyphen
out of his system, then test him by an
oath or a choice Of flags, and then
amputate the hyphen or else send the
man back home? We have the means
OF transportation-se all those in
termed German ships? A hundred
million dollars worth of them! And
the Thomas Cook agencies idle! The
situation has suggestive points.
Where is our Elijah who will say to
these hyphenates, IF the Lord be
God, follow him: but if Baal, then
follow him?"

THE HYPHENATED AMERICAN.

Oswald Garrison Wizards recent
speech against hyphenated American.
ism was telling one.
Mr.. Willard was himself born on
German soil and of a German father,
yet he is amazed at the divided citi-
zenship Of some Americans of German
ancestry.
He referred to Carl Schurz, and his
true Americanism and said "Wha,
would amaze him more than to find
unnumbered Germans who, like him.
self, come to this country to escape
the very militaristic autocracy they
now uphold, today, denouncing the
nation that adopted and sheltered
and fed and clothed them" 49,
Other races have shown strong
tendencies to form distinct bodies
Mr.. Willard said, but the German
propaganda lis, so far, the most ex
tensive. y
He then asked if it were true, az
contended, that the German Kultu,
and political system were superior tt
the scheme of life and government
In America, why the hordes who have
f1ocked here did not go to Germany
instead.
Mr.. Willard said, that to allow ma
tionalistic groups to develop in this
country such as they have in Austria
Hungary would be most disastrous
He said, such a proposal was "un
thinkable to true minded American.
For many yearH 1t has been thu
custom to treat colored people a,
aliens, although they are more thar
ninety-nine per cent of American
birth; and there is a growing ten
dency among the colored people tt

TlNsEL cHlVALRY.

The Southern Caucasians are con-
tinually yelling about their chivalrous
regard for women and their determin-
alton to protect females from assaults
ETC., but in view of many happenings
in the Southland it is evident, that
that their chivalry is of the tinsel
variety.
Last year Caucasian went into the
home Of respectable colored woman
In Wagner, Okla, and attempted to
assault her, but was shot by the
woman before he succeeded. When
the chivalrous Oklahomans heard of
the happening, the colored woman
who killed the white man in protect
ing her virtue was lynched by an
orderly mob Of the best citizens"
In another Southern state recently,
a colored man was walking along the
street with his sweetheart when a
white man made an insulting remark
about her. The colored man promptly
killed the white man and few hours
later he was lynched by mob Of
leading citizens"
The chivalrous men of Georgia have
allowed law fixing the age of consent
for girls 10 years, to stand upon the
statute books, and in nearly every
Southern state it is lower than it
ought to be.
The Southern boast about defending
the honor of women is LIE. South.
ern chivalry is tinsel.

THE COLORED MANS STAND
ARDS.

The Christian Register, the leading
Unitarian publication of the country,
prints so excellent an article on col
ored mans own standards that we are
constrained to print extracts from it.
white men have set standards tor
the colored man for many years. Dur
ing slavery days the standard was
mainly one of health and strength, a
good disposition" was also esirable;
a "bad niger" was harder to sell
than one who would make no trouble.
Taken altogether the standard of ante.
bellum days for colored men was
much the same as that for horses
warranted sound and kind" and all
the rest. During the war, with the
splendid record of black men as SOL
diers, the standard held up for them
by the white man shifted, though only
slightly. After the war, and after the
Fifteenth Amendment began to oper-
ate, the white man gradually altered
his expectation Of what the black
could be and ought to be. Whites Diff
fer greatly to-day, both North and
South, upon this question; as a rule,
the more civilized the white man the
reader he is, in Judging the colored
man, to see his great possibilities and
his remarkable progress, as already
shown.
The subtler problem, and more
vital to the colored people, is regard
ing the races standards for itself in
the various arts of civilization. And
his most serious obstacle is-not the
Injustice Of his white neighbours, evil
dent and regrettable as that is, but
the danger he continuously incurs OF
holding up low standards of attain.
ment for himself. If he is to COM
pete with the white man in business,
manufactures, arts, scholarship, ana
other pursuits, he must hold himself
up to as high standard Of excellence
as does the white man. As q rule,
colored people do not quite come up
to this; they have the faults of their
qualities; they are too easily satisfied
with attainment which is distinctly
second-rate in the worlds Bradstreet.
The colored musician, or painter, or
artisan, or writer is too apt to meas
ure himself by the many people be-

eye fixed on the few who surpass him.
For this reason it is good for a col.
ored boy or girl to attend a school O.,
college which white boys and girls
attend. Well-meaning friends of the
colored people have pitied such pupils
OF mixed schools and academies be-
cause of the many sights put upon

THE ONLY SOLUTION,

Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end of 1912, put for
ward the claim that no solution of the
American color question was possible
except by resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory. ... So
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island Of Jamaica, where he was gov
ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
Is a British colony and the govern
ment Is just. Colored men enjoy ev-
cry civil and political right which
white men have and there is no color
line. a.
Among other things Sir Sidney said:
my study and comparison of con-
ditlons In the United States and the
West 1ndies," he said, has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men
are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor
evangelical Christian missionaries. I
do not expect them to adopt the meth.
DDS OF missionaries, nor do I sympa-
thize with all their programmes. But
1t cannot be ignored that it happened
that the faiths of the men who laid
the foundations for the peaceful de-
velopment Of the mixed community in
Jamaica were democratic and human

AssAlLs U. s. INDIAN POLICY.
Brigader General R. H. Pratt,
founder Of the Carlisle Indian School
declares that the policy of the gov
eminent in forcing the Indians to re-
main on reservations would deter
their civilization for hundreds of
years.
IF there had never been an Indian
reservation" he said, "and if we had
never had an Indian bureau, the In
dams of the United States would to-
day be thousand times better off
than they are, and this country would
not now be called upon to appropri-
ate $10,000,00o yearly for the man
agement or mismanagement of the
bureau.
II say without hesitation or res
ervation that the true policy of the
government should be to permit the
Indians to attend our schools and to
eliminate the purely Indian schools
altogether. I would have Indians
enter government employ, and I
would assist them as far as possible
in entering business life. That will
accomplish far more than reserva-
tons will"
What General Pratt says is good
sound sense and applies to all other
nationalities and classes. The plan of
segregating any class of Americans Is
both morally and economically wrong.

'Were race differentiation held to it

citizens face in the contrary direction
I do not say that they will attain i'm
mediately civil peace, but I am conf
dent that they will be travelling the
only road toward it.
II do not suggest that race does not
