"RAClAL WAR;.

Viscount Bryce, former British am
bassador at Washington, in a recent
lecture at London University on
Racial Sentiment as Factor in
History" traced the origin of the
present war to feelings of racial con.
seriousness and national vanity de-
veloped during the last $50 years by
the American and French revolutions.
Racial war;" Viscount Bryce said,
has now led to a war confederation
on scale vaster than the world ever
| has seen.
What most is needed is the elimi-
nation of those feelings, the teachings
of which in most nations breed
jealousy and hatred and prompt men
to defiance and aggression"
EVERY race and nation must learn
that it ought not, even in its own in
terest, to desire performance or
seek to enforce it's own type on the
world" ..a s..s
These words ought to be carefully
considered in the United States where
there is a constant tendency to stir
up racial feeling. 1t is worse here
than in any other country because in
this country all other classes have
united against the colored people.
Prior to 1912 this was largely
question of locality, but since the in
coming of the Wilson Democratic AID.
ministration every effort has been
made to nationalize racial antipathics.
The most bitter harangues have
been made against the colored people
in Congress, where the speakers have
endeavored to make up with vitupera-
ton what they have lacked in logic;
infamous laws have been offered and
have actually passed. one branch of
that legislative body, and the Presi-
dent of the United States, sworn to
uphold the Constitution, has come out
as defender of racial segregation
The endeavor. has been made to
legislate the colored peopel nationally
into separate and inferior status and
make them negroes" instead of
American citizens.
The American people must learn
that the republic can not endure un-
less all citizens are on the same civil
and political level. If the Indictment
of racial friction continues there may
come to this country an internecine
war as destructive as the conflict now
raging in Europe. '....r 49,. s.r,

WILSON AND BEREA.

President Wilson is at it again. He
was the. principal speaker at meet
ing held in Washington in the interest
of Berea College, Kentucky, and as
usual said some things which were
long on rhetoric and lofty sentiment,
but short on fact and sincerity.
For instance. in speaking OF the
work Of the college, the Pesident de-
clared that it's object was ito do what
America was intended to do, 70 give
people who had not had it an oppor-
tunity and to give it to them upon
absolutely equal terms. upon basis
not of birth but Of merit"
There was a time when that was
the object OF Berea, but it is no longer
true. When John G. Fee God bless
his name the founder Of the college

was In charge Berea stood for oppor-
tunlty upon basis mot upon birth,
but OF merit" he white people and
the colored people were being edu-
Gated together. Both classes were
learning the great lesson of human
equality by studying together in the
same class room and Berea was doing
a great work in breaking down ancient
prejudices.
Then came one Frost and like his
name he was a great blight upon the
school. While pretending to work in
the interest of the institution he was
really trying to disrupt it and it is
said that he more than any other
worked up the sentiment which
eliminated in the infamous act of the
Kentucky legislature making the
teaching of white and colored stu
dents in the same class room a penal
offense. -
What America has v1no1cated
above all things else," said the Presi-
dent, lis that native ability has moth
ing to do with social origin. It is
very amusing someone's TO see the
airs that high society gives itself.
The world could dispense with high
society and never miss it. High So
ciety is for those who have stopped
working and no longer have anything
important to do"
This is very true, but President
Wilson has himself drawn the line
between the classes even outside of
social lines. 1t is not nearly so wrong
for ''society" to assume "airs" in So
cial matters as it is for the President
to advocate that one-tenth of the
people of the country shall be set
apart as pariahs, not even fit to work
in the same room with other citizens.

OUR NEED OF JUxTAPOslTioN.
a. From tho Rncf0n

(From the Boston Guardian.)
That We much rather be, and asso-

Colored Americans that has become
almost trite. That is a mistake: il
is feeling of avowed cowardice and
innate lnferiOrity. It is an utter i'm

scribe to common government, and.
at the same time, each race work out
It's own salvation. The theory" has
been tried and resulted into a CHASTITY
failure: instead of making for har-
mony and cordial good feeling be-
tween two races, it has increased
race hatred and antagonism in leaps
and bounds. We have needed too
long the advice from false and treach-
erous leadership that resistance is
wrong, that it only breeds race hat
red and antagonism; that the thing
Tor us to do is to get property and
other rights will inevitably. follow.
We have followed this "advice" faith
1ully and have been rewarded in
terms OF residence segregation, street
segregation, confiscation and loss of
property, anti-intermarriage-whichi is
all OF the blacklist pieces of legis-
latlon, since that it leaves our women
defenseless and at the mercy of white
brutes - separate schools, jimcrow
cars, and even legislating to exclude
further Negro immigration. These
are the evils resulting from mon

with which our property is taken and
