Reforms Needed at Home.

(From The Christian Register.)
Race bitterness makes argument, or
discussion, or any effort to come, to a
common understanding quite useless.
Where much racefeeling is engaged,
reason is neutralized. With some PEG.
pie, questions of the rights of colored
people under the Constitution, of the
people Of California have become i'm
possible. They simply can not discuss
the subject. While this is the case
in this country, we have enough to
do in cleansing our own blood Of
germs of conflict without thinking It
our main business to reach across
the water in restraint of war. War is
incipient among us in these matters.
and cruel barbarities frequent enough,
to keep us busy reforming ourselves.
Billy Sunday speaks out emphati-
cally, acrobatically and ungrammatic-
ally against almost every wrong in the
country-except race prejudice. II
he wants to show that he is q real
brave man, not afraid to tacke any
thing, and do some good where It Is
most needed, let him speak out aginst
race prejudice.

TINsEL cHlvALRY.

The Southern Caucasians are con.
tinually yelling about their chivalrous
regard for women and their determin-
alton to protect females from assaults
etc., but in view of many happenings
In the Southland it is evident, that
that their chivalry is of the tinsel
variety.
Last year Caucasian went into the
home OF a respectable colored woman
in Wagner, Okla, and attempted to
assault her, but was shot by the
woman before he succeeded. When
the chivalrous Oklahomans heard of
the happening, the colored woman
who killed the white man in protect
ing her virtue was lynched by an
orderly mob of the best citizens"
In another Southern state recently.
colored man was walking along the
street with his sweetheart when a
white man made an insulting remark
about her. The colored man promptly
killed the white man and few hours
later he was lynched by a mob Of
leading citizens"
The chivalrous men Of Georgia have
allowed a law fixing the age Of consent
for girls 10 years, to stand upon the
statute boks. and in nearly every
Southern state 1t is lower than it
ought to be.
The Southern boast about defending
the honor Of women is LIE. South
ern chivalry is tinsel.

SEGREGATION BY CENSUS.

NSSlOcS III Lu0 Ou1LSU 0tat0S, ~
the title of pamphlet gotten out by
the United States Census Bureau. The
title is misleading, for there are only
473 real Africans in the United States,
according to the Census, that is Ne.
groes born in Africa.
1t is wrong, unjust and un-American
for the government to segregate it's
clerks by color in the Departments
in Washington, and it is also wrong, un.
just and un-American for the govern.
ment to issue separate and inaccu-
rate Census Bulletin as it has done In
the case of the bulletin, Negroes in
the United States"
The United States assumes that a
group of about 100000 people are
Negroes and proceeds to so classify
them. More than ninety-nine per cent
Of the persons so classified were born
in America of American parents, and
their parents were Americans and so
on back for ten generations.
II man whose ancestors for many
generations is not an American, who
is entitled to the name? If white
man can become an American in two
generations, why should a person OF
any other color born in this country
fail to arrive" in the same space of
| time?
The name NEGRO" applied to a
group of citizens in this country is in.
accurate, because it does not include
forty or fifty million other Americans
who have more or less Negro blood.
The expression pure race" is amyth
so all great writer's on racial questions
agree.
The mixing of bloods in this country
mas gone so far that it is impossible
to determine with any degree of accu-
racy who has Negro blood and who
has not, and for the Government to
select about 100000 people and say
that they are Negroes" and by that
act to aid in making them a separate
treatment in church and state, is to
perpetrate great wrong.
1t is an Infamous thing for the gov.
eminent of this great republic to draw
the color line in any way. In a re
public every citizen should have ex
actly the same status so far as the
government is concerned.
There is no reason why Democra.
cy should attempt to classify its cit.
liens by their blood. All persons
born in this country should be con.
s1dered Americans without any pre-.
fixes or sufixes.

THE ONLY SOLUTION.

THE ONLY SOLUTION.
Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor Of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end of 1912, put for
ward the claim that no solution Of the
, American color question was possible
except by resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory.
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island of Jamaica, where he was gov.
ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
is a British colony and the govern
ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev-
cry civil and political right which
white men have and there is no color
line.
Among other things Sir Sidney said:
my study and comparison Of con.
ditions in the United States and the
West indies" he said, has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men
are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor
evangelical Christian missionaries. l
do not expect them to adopt the meth
DDS Of missionaries, nor do sympa-
thize with all their programmes. But
it cannot be ignored that it happened

Must Judge A Group by It's Best.
(From the Christian Register, Boston

\'AoAn IAo Cui1SLldu Register, Boston

No one can be said to know anv
class OF people who has not been in
intimate and sympathetic relation with
the best as we'll as the worst of the

VINO live In the South, and think they
know the colored race, with others
who have had no such contact, but
who have come into intimate and sym-
pathetic relations with large numbers
OF that race whom their Southern
friends have never known; and of the
two sets OF people we should say that
the second knew the colored people
better than the first. They know aspt.
rations among them that the others
do not know, or, knowing, do not
enter into and appreciate; they know
capabilities by direct contact with the
best OF the race which others are obi
vious of; they know qualities which
only respect and sympathy can bring
out; they know possibilities to which
others by their very acquaintance are
blinded. If those who know the COL
ored race through the mass and by
observation merely could know what
individual possibilities are demon
strated in growing numbers of the
elect, and would be courageously can.

for us to do is to get property and

The MELTING Pot.

lFrom the Chicago Defender.)
From Los Angeles comes the news
that The authorities there are con-
sidering what to do in relation to three
children, claimed to be Of colored
parentage on both sides, and yet
showing neither in complexion nor
hair, trace of the Ethiopian. There
seems to be a suspicion that the little
ones are of other origin and really are
not colOred even by q trace. The ply
siological aspects of the matter are
too much for the non-scientific.
If our friends on the other side but
knew what laughing stock they
made Of themselves in our eyes they
would drop forever this question of
color being a badge of inferiority, for
did they but know it not great
percentage of those who term them
YES Americans can truthfully say
not a trace OF DARK blood courses
through their veins.
We who are on the inside know of
thousands who have gone over on
the other side and are passing" The
reason for their leaving is obvious.
Opportunities, the one thing we all
crave, and the one thing that is the
i
most difficult for the man Of dark
i'skin to find.
The world. but especially the United
States, Is full of people who are un.
conscious of the fact that they are
not simon.pure white, and again there
are thousands upon thousands who
are so lightly tinged-but know, it.
they find little difficulty in going their
way unmolested. But let their iden.
tity be discovered and they drop i'm.
mediately in the eyes of the narrow
and prejudiced far below their asso.
ciates' standard. Which only goes to
prove this bugbear prejudice isn't a
matter of color. after all. It is well
for a great many that they are not
compelled to trace their ancestors
back farther than their father and
mother, for if they did undoubtedly

WALLER AGAINST "NEGRo"
Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Causes
Mental and Physical Segregation.
(From Amsterdam News.)

(From Amsterdam News.)
Editor Amsterdam News:
Sir: I cannot too heartily congratu-
late you on 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 It is the most potential fac
tor at work at the present to bring
about both a 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:
q. 1t has never stood historically or
IN the present, anywhere in the world,
Tor 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 It's compounds, Negro-head,
Negro-hy, Negro-monkey, are all clear
ly, In their associations, degrading.
d. Its 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.
e. 1t 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."
t. It is not differentiated in the mind
and thought Of the whites from their
favorite and generally used (among
themselves) terms, MICRO" and "Nie.
