WALLER AGAINST "NEGRo"

Noteo brooklyn DOCTOR says 1t causes
Mental. and Physical Segregation.
(From Amsterdam News.)
Editor Amsterdam News:
Sir: cannot too heartily congratu-
late you on a recent editorial discour-
aging the use of the word Negro"
There Is no greater delight enjoyed by
the white people of the United States
today than the spreading use of this
unfortunate term. Why? They real
lie that 1t is the most potential fac
tor at work at the present to bring
about both physical and mental
segregation of the people of color. It's
use Is on the increase only because
our speakers and writer's, especially
DO Bots and Washington feel that its
repetition, ad nauseam, is necessary to
retain the good will OF the masses. The
term Negro" is not only absurdly in.
accurate as applied to millions of col.
ored people, but it is also alarminly
Injurious, for the following reasons
a. 1t has never stood historically or
IN the present, anywhere in the world,
ior anything noble or uplifting. Most
h1gh'grade Africans repudiate it.
b. In Africa and out of Africa it was
never applied to the higher types, but
to Guineas, Sudanese and Senegam.
bans only.
c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Ne
grofy," and its compounds, Negro-head
Negro-ay, Negro-monkey, are all clear
ly, In their associations, degrading.
d. It's feminine form, "Negress," is
justly and correctly used to define
your wife and daughter and sweet
heart, If you favor the use of the mas
culine term. ...
9. It has been the word used by the
Southern whites for two centuries
when formally speaking or writing
about an unworthy or criminal man
or woman Of the race. For when he
speaks of the worthy he invariably
says "colored."

themselves) terms, MICRO" and mig

Embitters All but DociIe Negro.
(FrOm the Savannah TrihnneN

In many of the Southern States,
years ago, colored troops were allowed
and maintained. One by one these
states disbanded the colored troops.
Georgia was better orgonized than any
OF the other states, and was the last
to disband the colored .trops. In event
OF war, especially of any duration, the
colored man will be badly needed, but
has he been trained or has he been
encouraged to take up arms to fight
in defense of his country? He has
been prescribed and debarred of MANY
privileges that are justly his and which
would embitter any other race but the
dOcile Negro.

and sisters OF their own race, all alike
nalf Dlindly cropping their slow way
out OF the darkness. Better that a
colored boy should bear whatever
sngnts are put upon him by certain
narrow, selfish, white boys at Yale
or Harvard than to drift comfortably
along IN some Negro school which has
not got itself as yet squared to the
world standards, in a world where
white men rule"

Moliere! Though the cathedrals quar-.
rel together and sing praises with
siege-guns to their own little foolish
national souls, and rain bombs on
each others naves, take my stand
by the great bells ringing in their
towers, by the souls of their poets
overriding the years, by the prayers
and songs of their heroes, artists, in
ventors, by the mothers and the little
children.
We are all in the same world. We
are all alike. I will not say of any
one nation what I will not say of the
others; and I will not say of any man
what I will not say of myself.

(From the Martinsburg Pioneer-Press)
All hail to our brave confrere the
Hon. H. G. Smith, editor of the old
reliable Gazette for going to the Gov
ernor of Ohio, and preventing that
internal play, "The Niger" to be ex-
n1oited IN the great state of Ohio. To
ooldiy tight such impositions is the un-
n1nch1ng duty Of every decent man
among US. Every victory won by the
lew courageous agitators encourages
others to step into the arena of de-
fence; and may the time come soon
Waen towards will be unknown, and
all stand united for manhood rights.

HUMAN NATURES FOULEsT BLOT"

My ear is panied
My soul is sick with every days report
Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled.
There is no flesh in mans obdurate heart.

Of brotherhood is severed as the flax
That falls asunder at the touch of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of skin
Not colored like his own: and having power
10 enforce the wrong, for such worthy cause
! looms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
thus man devotes his brother, and DESTROYS:

BOSTON, May 1.-THE discovery or
an error of two pins in the scoring OF
Charles Lemmons third game In the
hve-men duckpin competition Monday,
puts the Palace team in fifth place OF
that classification and unlocks the tie
which was thought to have been Gre
ated between the Palace team and MUIR
ray team, of Boston. The correction
has been sustained by Secretary John j.
Donovan, and will increase the amount
OF cash prize money to be hauled down
by the Palace boys by nearly hundred
dollars.
Rolling in a double header In the
eighth and ninth boxes, Lennon had
been credited with but count of IL
instead of 81. His score in the seventh
box was 81. The count of Il on the
double-header brought his figures up
to 8S In the eighth. A strike and count
Of IS in the ninth brought the mark up
to 1O6, and eight pins in the tenth sent
the score soaring to ia. He had been
credited with but 1l2 by the onlc'al
scorer. The error was plain, and no
argument other than the official sheet
was necessary to prove the claim or
Captain Lewis, who discovered the dis
crepancy.
The creditable demonstration pre-
sented by the Palace hve-man team
Krauss and Lennon in the doubles,
and Armiger and Baum, of the Velvet
Kind team in the doubles. should go
far to vindicate the delegation OF Wash
ington plnners. who were hoodwinked
a year ago in Boston. To this day
Washington is no doubt filled with
bowlers who have been unable to un-
derstand the weak showing made at
Brockton and in many instances un-
fair remarks regarding that set have
been made.
Rolling under absolutely perfect con-
ditions at Mechanics Hall, the Capt
tolians have acquitted themselves we'll
and could have done likewise at
Brockton had the alleys been beyond
suspicion.
Brockton would not enter this tour
nament because sand-papered alleys
are not allowed. There is a well de-
Yeloped movement throughout New
England to eliminate the sand-papered
alleys entirely. There are none of this
type in Boston, only the smaller out
lying towns adhering to their Use.

the execution until the matter is fully
cleared. and every American citizen
who loves fair play will sit down and

the matter. Even If Frank is guilty,
owing to the fiimsy nature of the PROOF
