where only here and there other than
military discipline is scarce indeed.
Other things should be taught besides
loyalty and patriotism and marks,
manship. Funny conditions rear
aloft some puzzling situations.
President Wilson might let the Car
rama incident repeat itself in
Georgia, Mississippi and Texas, and
in matters of scrupulous claims on
the part of the Negro relation to citi-
zenship, give the regulars the benefit
of the doubt.
The firing line is a place of honor
as well as the position of great sacr.-
flee of life, but 1 guess it is well that
we be given a chance occasionally to
show the prejudiced world that being
black does not hinder the develop
ment of quality of manhood that the
world cannot get along very well
without.
Oun contentious upon the princi-
pies of fair play, mans chance, hui
man consideration and humane treat
ment, are being proved. God is not
allowing the great human insult of a
marauding mob to stand against us
and to remain long unanswered.
God is using our Negro soldiers in
the forefront of the hottest breath of
this punitive strife against the bri-
gandage of outlawry and the beliger-
ancy of the de facto government be-
cause it is His way of heaping Goals
of fire upon the heads of our oppres-
sors.
The story of Corporal Sam Harris
is by no means a mere passing Incl
dent. History was made upon
straight shooting, daring and bravery
i5y those Negro soldiers, and the next
page added to the laurels of the Unit
ed States army cannot be written un-
less it is taken from the lips of the
Negro soldiers who were there almost
alone to battle against ten times
their number, entrenched and am
buscaded.

RACE NEWS
GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES

lynching fund of $4,000 has been in
augurated by the n. A. A C. P, with
headquarters at 20 Fifth avenue,
New York City. This campaign is
projected, following upon the d1strt-
button of $4,000 copies of the story
of the horrible lynching recently en-
acted at Waco, Texas, when Jesse
Washington, a Negro boy, II years
old, sentenced by the court to be
hung, was taken from the court room
while the court was still in session,
mutilated in the most horrible man
ner, strung up tora tree with trace
chain around his neck, and the body
burned to a crisp. The subscription
has been headed with contributions
of $1,000 each from Judge Moorfield
Storey, former president OF the Amer
lean Bar Association, now national
president of the n. A. A. C. p, and
Philip G. Peabody, of Boston, these
contributions being made on condi-
ton that the remaining $4,000 be
raised by August 1. Contributions
should be sent to Oswald Garrison
Willard, treasurer, 10 Fifth avenue,
New York City, and all classes of the
citizenry are requested to aid in the
raising of this fund.

Owing to a mistake of the corre-
spondent the program of last Sunday
was announced to be under the lead
ership of Mrs. Jones, but was pre-
sided over, with great success by
Mrs. Owens. A splendid program was
rendered consisting of instrumental
solo, Miss Janice Chinn; Good Ad-
vice to Girls" Miss A. Cole; Instru-
mental solo, Miss E. Henry; from
bone solo, Miss M. E. Morrison.
The regular Vesper service will be
held at 4 to p. m. Sunday. The at
tendance is steadily becoming larger
while the programs are always
worthy of "overflowing" audiences.

NEGRO SOLDIERS REINsTATED.

The famous Brownville incident of
1906, when a number of Negro sol
diers were discharged from the 25th
infantry, was not without some re-
deeming feature. Not long since
fourteen of the discharged men were
reinstated in the service. The rein
statement carried with it the back
pay of the men which amounted to
$11,2S9.75. OF this sum $2,419.65, the
largest amount, falling to single in
dividual, fell to Private Robert VIII
liams, troop cook.
It's pretty good government after
all that attempts to keep faith with
all that serve it. The reward, true
enough, came after very long wait.
But the waiting was at the expense
of the government. 1t sometimes
pays to wait. There was no compul-
sion in the matter, consequently the
ending is rather to be set down as
flattering to the discharged men,

Gwin and Mrs. O'Neil was held in
bonds of $500 on a charge of murder
Justice Gwin, who is type of man
too seldom met in the South, stated
that he had reluctantly consented to
the above mentioned sum and that in
his opinion the amount should not
have. exceeded $3.50, if she should
have been held at all He stated fur
ther that in his opinion, if the de-
fendant had been the wife of white
man she would have been turned loose
and added that his prediction prom
ises had been to mete out justice to
white and black alike, and although
he was forced to agree to holding
Mrs. O'Neil he knew that she would
be acquitted when her trial comes up
in the Circuit Court.
The Lesson Taught.
If Mississippi and the rest of the
South had few more. women like
Jesse O'Neil the promiscuous de-
bauching of the Races homes would
soon cease. In that section of the
country the only protection for a
womans virtue is the personal resist
ance of the individual. The beastly
passions of the white" men are too
frequently encouraged by weaker
women of the Race and as a conse-
quence there are many cases where
these bruites can boast of being the
father to bastards almost too numer-
Gus to mention. There is no surer pro-
lection for a woman's virtue than
strength of character and a good gun,
coupled with the ability to use it.

THE DAREDEVIL DARING AND
VALOR OF OUR SOLDIERS.
(The Freeman.)

The world awoke few mornings
ago and read some very startling
things that are taking place south of
the American border. 1t read of
treachery and perfidy of patriotism
and of bloodshed. AS has always
been the case, it was the Negro
blood being shed, soldiers rich red
blood, blood of Negroes who have
graduated in discipline and trained to
the minute, and who can whip their
number four times over in any other
kind of living men.
1t is a bit peculiar that no great
American crisis wherein we speak
volubly and touchingly in tender
strains of American valor but that
the logged, intrepid manhood of the
Negro helped in large measure to
give inspiration to the orator. These
white officers of these Negro troop
ers, including all in the regular army,
readily admit that from a military
viewpoint they are Americas great
est asset, and yet as much as the
valiant Negro soldier is priced, moth
ing has been done for them further
than barracks and military posts,

Many thought that the soldiers
were unfairly dealt with at the time
of the happening. Some carried their
partisanship very far in view of the
honest effort of the military author
tiles and Congress to get at the facts.
1t was known that Brownsville was
shot up 1t was generally thought
that the Negro troopers did it. The
persons?" The question carried the
thought that all of the men could not
have been implicated.
We took the view, at that time,
that the matter rested with those in
charge. and that those not in charge
and who had no means of informa-
tion that others did not have were
not as competent to speak as those
in charge regardless of the quality of
their finding.
President Roosevelt was bitterly
assailed because he injected bit of
his spirit of militarism into the con-
troversy, and which milita.rism, by
the way was a true indication of the
real Roosevelt. Some thought, at that
time, that he was straining for effect
or that he was giving an unnecessary
show of authority or that he was
lined up with the strenuous anti-Ne-
gro forces. But he was simply prov
martial spirit being greatly de-
veloped, and it saas been proven by
his vigorous preparedness speeches
and his readiness to enlist in the de-
fense of the country. All of this
have been so plain to see that those
who fought him so bitterly over the
Brownsville incident that it has sunk
into their consciousness willy nilly
thus converting them into friends and
advocates of Americas man of iron.
Only a very few, if any at all, cling
to the theory that Mr.. Roosevelt was
malicious in his part of the Browns
vile affair.-The Freeman.

NEGRO DEMOCRATS MEET.

Chicago, July 12.-Members of the
National Colored Democratic league,
composed of Negroes from nearly ev-
cry state in the Union, held their
quadriennial meeting here and
elected the following officers: Pres
ident, Adam S. Patterson of Okla
homa; vice presidents, A. E. Manning,
James L. Curtis and C. B. jefferson;
secretaries, Thomas w. Swami and
A. H. Underdown; treasurer, Robert
C. Hudspeth of Jersey City.
Resolutions indorsing the national
Democratic ticket were adopted and
plans made to take an active part in
the campaign.
Particular reference is made in the
resolutions to the international af-
fairs of the country declaring that
"by reason of the wise and progress
sive policies pursued by the Presi-
dent in keeping our country out of
war with foreign powers, there has
been preserved to the American peo-
pie a period of unsurpassed pros
perity" Referring to the recent
skirmishes at Carrizal, Mexico, be-
tween troopers of the Tenth United
States cavalry and Mexicans the reso-
lutions praise the President for hav-
ing cause the loyal and brave col
ored troopers that were massacred at
Carrizal while heroically defending
the honor of the American flag to be
reclaimed from Mexican soil and re-
turned and interned with the nations

The average colored man complains
a good deal about the lack of a GER
tain kind of news in the Afro-Ameri-
can paper and that is the excuse Of
fered by some of the big gums" for
not subscribing to the Colored papers.
But after all, isn't it fact that the
little weekly Afro-American journal
is the life of every community? After
one of these gentlemen have tried
of reading of the police court rec
ords, mobs and burning recitals of
their people, they turn keen apprecia-
tions to the Afro-American journal
which chronicles the good deeds and
achievements and optimistic accounts
of the Afro-American life struggles.
These men and their families can

COlOred Woman
Defends Honor
WithGun

Summit, Miss, July 7.-Justice at
first hand was meted out to one of the
class of white" men who use the
color of their skin as a protection
against opposition in their efforts to
debauch the virtue of the Races wo-
men in the South. Mississippi has
never convicted Caucasion for any
crime ever committed against any
member of the race, no matter
whether the crime was murder or of
lesser degree. The feeling that they
are immune from any consequences
has grown SO deep that the most das-
tardly offenses are practiced by them,
the rape of our women being so COM
mon that it has almost ceased to at
tract attention.
When Roy Gilchrist, the amorous
son of a white contractor at Summit,
Miss, attempted to commit the crime
that has furnished the excuse for the
burning at the stake of scores of the
men of the Race without even
chance to show whether they were
innocent or not he chose for his vic
tim the handsome wife of Alex O'Neil,
yyh the
tragedy occurred. He mounted
mule and rode out to the section oil
the town known as Pleasant Run.
When he reached the O'Neil home he
dismounted and approached the YER
anda upon which Jessie O'Neil and
Mamie Richardson We're seated. After
inquiring for man of whom the ladies
knew nothing, he made an indecent
proposal which was promptly resented.
He became abusive and grabbed at
Mrs. O'Neil, who pushed him away
and both ladies ran into the house
and locked the door By this time the
young white gentleman" was in a
frenzy of passion. After trying to
break in the door he turned his at
tentions to a window which he forced
up and with an oath attempted to
spring into the room.
Shoots Brute Down.
By this time Mrs. O'Neil had Sc
cured a 3S-caliber Smith & Wesson
from a trunk in the bed room. De-
termined to sell her honor as dearly
as possible she backed up against the
wall and met the white gentlemans"
next attempt to enter the room with
a well-aimed ball from the pistol.
When he failed to fall at this first
shot, in a panic of fear, Mrs. O'Neil
emptied the remaining shells into his
filthy carcass. The brute's body then
fell back into the yard, where 1t re-
NAMED until removed by the coroner.
The preliminary hearing took place
