THE ADVANCE OF THE NEGRO
By Frederic ]. Haskin

ored race from the time men were
equal in the Stone Age, through the
glories of the Ethiopian empire.
through slavery and freedom, and up
TO its present development in science,
art and education.
All or the music is selected from the
works of well-known colored COM
posers and is in harmony with the
dramatc concept written by DR.. w. E,
Du Bois, of New York, one of the best
known colored writer's. The produc-
tlon or this pageant, which costs at
least $4,000 for each performance is
regarded by the leading negroes as
fitting expression of the progress made
by their race in half-century of
freedom.
While philanthropic white people
have contributed literally to aid the
negro in his education and advance
ment. de credit must be given him
for what he has done and is doing for
hlmsef. Every educated negro knows
that in order to raise himself it is
necessary to improve his entire race,
because IN the minds of many white
people the ignorant negro is regarded
as typical. A strong organization,
known as the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored people.

publishes live magazine devoted to
general uplift work and is a strong
factor in developing the intellectual
and industrial efficiency of the present
generation of colored people.
one OF the latest efforts of this So
ciety has been the awarding of a
medal to the negro who has con-
trlbuted most conspicuously to the
credit OF the race in America during
the year. The first one was awarded

LINCOLN AND LIQUOR

IF Abraham Lincoln could have
known to what base uses some of
his sayings would be put, and how
his thoughts and opinions would be
twisted to suit the purposes of those
who would throw the cloak of re-
spectability over shady transactions.
we suspect that the martyred Presi-
dent would have talked little and
written less.
Take. for instance, this extract
from a circular issued by a st. Paul
liquor organization, quoting Lincoln
as saying that the injury done by
liquor did not arise from the use of
bad thing, but the abuse of a very
good thing"
What Lincoln really said was this:
1T is true that even then it was
known and Acknowledged that many
were greatly injured by it Cintemper-
ance); but none seemed to think the
injury arose from the use of a bad
thing. but from the abuse of a good
thing
Quite different sentiments, we sub

CoNWELL Is WRONG

TINE Rev. Russell n. Conwell is
distinguished preacher and
scholar of no mean standing,
but when he says, as he is quoted as
having said. that the day Of the poor
boy in the university is a thing Of the
past and that in the universities and
colleges of the country '1t doesn't de-
rich you are" the Rev. DR.. Conwell
puts himself on a level with an anar-
chist ranting before a street corner
crowd.
There is absolutely no ground for
such a foolish conclusion as the doc
one must wonder where he got his
information. Certainly not in the
educational reports, for these show
that there are now more poor boys
in the universities than ever before
and that opportunities are more nu-
merous than at any previous time for
the boy who must work his way
through" No boy is too poor to
acquire a university education.
A few years ago there went to coll
lege from this city-the same col
lege, by the way-a lad who had
made his way through the high
school of the city by selling the Tele-
graph on a downtown street corner,
who had saved for his college educa-
ton by the same means, and the son
of rich man of a town not many
miles from Harrisburg. The rich
boy lasted just six months. The poor
boy is now a lawyer in Richmond,
Va.
This is but one instance that might
be multiplied thousands of times.
Public speakers so careless of their
facts do more harm than good. They
discourage poor boys by erecting
mental difficulties in their path. They
encourage anarchy and they spread
false doctrines. If DR.. ConwelI has
been quoted correctly in his Pitts
burgh address he would do we'll to
revise it considerably before he de-
! livers it again.

tFrom the New York Americana
Judge Joseph B. Handy. OF Tomp-
kinsville, Staten Island, has advanced
views on the subject of kissing.
In case brought before him in the
courtrooms at Stapleton he remarked
that kissing was outside of the law.
Such things go from mouth to
mouth, like gossips," he said with a
perfectly calm face.
There are about as many ways of
saying How do you do? as there are
nationalities," he continued. Some
people rub noses instead of pressing
lips. Certainly, in my opinion. kissing
is more civilized than the other form
of affectionate approval
kissing ant kisses should never be
taken seriously. People who try 10
turn osculation into an argument are
tract the lips
kissing is form of amusement,
especially for the onlooker. For in
stance, take the case of those lovers
of an age gone by:
Beneath the chestnut tree that sat,
He held her hand, she held his hat
lie held that kissing was no crime,
She held her lips up every time

You see, the unimportance of being
kissed cannot be overrated, neither car

IT will be fifty years in December
since the emancipation act. giving
- freedom to all slaves, was made a
law by the passing of the Thirteenth
Amendment. A little later another
amendment gave them equal civil
rights with the white citizens of the
country, Notwithstanding the fact that
they had no education to prepare them
for such responsibility. Some of them
were only a generation removed from
African barbarism, few of them could
read or write. and scarcely any had
attained any real intellectual develop
ment.
To-day the 10, 900, 600 negroes of the
country are planning to celebrate their
half-century of freedom by number
of public eXpostions and pageants
which will demonstrate their advance
in education, power, wealth and honor.
Within the past two generations some
negro has arrived at distinction in
nearly every branch of science and art.
Because the pageant has become
accepted as the best means of convey
ing truth. and at the same time de-
veloping dramatic and artistic tenden-
cies, the negroes are planning to hold
one of these affairs in each of the
larger cities during the coming year.
These pageants have been arranged
under the auspices of the Horizon
Guild of New York. The purpose is
to stimulate the pride of the colored
people in the historical progress of
their race and to develop their nat
ural dramatic talent. 1t is not a
money making venture. Its work is
somewhat similar in scope to that of
the Drama League of America, except
that 1t is confined entirely to the inter-
probation of the highest ideals of
negro life.

WAR TO THE END OF THE AGE

Scripture is very plain in its con-
demnation On war. Ii any community
or nation had such a firm faith in God
as their shield and defender that they
would trust him absolutely, they need
never fear war. for he would protect
them: but is there such nation or such
faith? To suppose this possible would
be to suppose that nation had reached
the ideal Christian state. Unfortun-
ately, none has reached it. Jesus spoke
against war, but the nations to-day do
not echo or follow his teachings. When
they do, then the time prophes will
have come when the swords and spears
shall be transformed into implements
of peaceful industry. Jesus also taught
that wars would continue to the end OF
the age.-The Christian Herald.
