JIM CROW BILL AGAIN.

Again in this present legislature
some narrow-minded so-callcd legis-
lator bv the name Of Miller, the same
man who introduced his same jim
Grow bill two years ago has just re
introduced it again, the intermarriage
bill. It is indeed shame that the
intelligence of this great state, with
her free institutions, her high ideals,
her good morals, her Christian sense
of equal justice should he forced to
consider the prejudices of some per-
son. There is no demand for such
legislation in Iowa, nor any other
state Of the union. The white women
of Iowa are not asking for such a
law. There is not per cent Of racial
intermarriage in Iowa. This bill is
designed to permit white men to prey
upon the virtue Of our innocent col
ored girls and then not be forced to
marry or to make illegitimate what
now under the present condition
would be legitimate child. The bet
ter class of colored| people shave not,
never have and never will want to in
termarry, but we don't want any such
black laws upon our statute books,
for the black laws were wiped of Of
Iowa statute book about fifty years
ago. .@ 5.5,a5. * H

FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

This month of February, although
the shortest month in the year, yet
some of the greatest American states
men were born beneath her varied
seasons. And one of those distin-
guished sons that we delight to honor
is Frederick Douglass, who is sup
posed to have been born some time
during this month near the 18th, in
1877, in Tuckahoe, Maryland, in ad-
versitv, misery and poverty, raised up
among the dogs, cats in the degradA
ed slave cabin, with no parents, no
education, no churches. He had as
far to rise to where theaverage Amer
ican boy is born nowadays has to be-
come member of the American con-
gress, but he arose up out Of this mire
td the average boy and then by his
indomitable will power he marched
onward and upward to become great
American orator, statesman and dip
lomat, honored by presidents, kings,
princes and highest men Of all civil
lived 4 countries, wonderful object
lesson and inspiration to the Ameri-
can youth. Let US emulate the good
qualities of this great statesman.
