MAN OF NEGRO ORIGIN:
He Cites Authorities to Disprove
"Pithecanthropos Erectus"
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 "Ethnology" 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
a linguistic" and not an chronological
term. Theosophical writer's 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.

THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.

Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.
The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part OF
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard of the life of the
masses is the only solution.
AS with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about reform the woman
hood of the race must be taught
how to instruct their children in
those virtues, that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro is by nature religious and
therefore moral. He is both; but he
is not enough of either when it comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because of his crude
conception of what the Christian re-
ligion really is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another.
Often the foremost woman in the
church is so far from model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This misrepresenta-
ton of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman
is a combination of all. She allows
beer drinking, card playing, and rag
time music in her home. She is loose
in her conversation. Her language is
often smutty. Her demeanor be-
comes a woman of the street. Her
home is hangout for sliding elders"
and loafing, hungry preachers. Her
house is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to be men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are therefore, the freshest things in
the neighborhood. They run the
church. They sit in the front heat,
chew gum, talk and keep their gang"
giggling. TO speak to them is to
throw match into magazine of
powder. ..-.
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters, get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers. They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren of too many of those who aspire
to leadership in our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence of their mothers and
give our churches all kinds of trouble.
What we need is a new type of
women in our homes as mothers,
and new type of women in Our.
churches as leaders and examples for
the young.
The wig wearing, gum chewing,
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neglecting, convention
fever type of women are out of style,
and from them may we soon be de-
livered.

A RECOGNITION OF MERIT.

Atty. Albert H. Hall, one of the
leading lawyers of this city, appeared
in an important case in Judge Steele's
courtroom this week. Seated behind
him was Atty. Gale P. Hilyer, young
Negro lawyer, as associate counsel
This means much to our race. 1t is a
recognition of merit, and proves the
ability of the Negro along profes.

 QUOTA SYSTEM

Lopdon, NOY. 3-The quota sys-
 tenn which Lord Kitchener is said
 to advocate Is a compromise be-
 tween voluntary enlistment sys-
 tem and conscription is a historic
 method ot raising troops, for 1t ex-
 isted from saxon time1 down to
 the year 1892. It Is now merely suspended, not dead.
 By the quota system, Great Brit ain would be divided into military districts, each of which is required to send its quota of required num- Der of recruits, It is a form of compusion, but a democratic form that has stood the test of eight centuries. Its especial merits are iR its appeal to local patriotism and it's civic control Each locality has t3a power to enforce enlistments if fair i5 5'fhaf nafSafR afRil jdl RGgt RGgt a.-Iarga mum thorItIes and the appeal Is more Dersonal and less emotional than. by the military recruiting with their lands and speech-making ac- tors.
 There are many statutes on the English books relating to the quota system. which can be enforced at aDv time by an order of the PriVy Council with the approval of parIia- inert Some changes were made from the old methods in 1757 when the various counties were instruct cd to proportion their quota among tbe yariouB parishes where the me, ir case of necessity, were to bs chosen by ballot. This law placed the age of service from lS to 30 years, exemptiHg all men with more than one child born In wedIock Forces for the Napoleon ,c wars were thus raised. In lS9z tho old militia passed from the control of the counties to the war office and the system of dis trict selection was allowed 'o lapss.
