Coe, professor of religious education
in the Union Theological seminary
New York, gives reasons why church
and public schools should be separate:
"The opposing religious bodies are
still watchful Of one another. Nc
workable plan for increasing the reli
gious functions in the public schools
is likely to be agreed upon.
"The argument for teaching the
Bible in the public schools on the
ground of it's literary merits seems to
have had little weight because it has
been advanced by religionists from
evidently religious motives.
"The forces that are devoting them
selves assidiously to the reform of re-
ligious education are rarely, if ever
eager to commit religious functions
to the state. The demand that the
public schools provide religious edu
cation proceeds in large measure from
persons who feel that something needs
to be done, but have not yet become
absorbed in the details of the recon
struction that is already under way
within the churches"
The reasons are logical and those
who wish to carry religious teaching
into the public schools are enemies OF
the state.

MIXING THE RACES,

The South, that is the white South Is
not opposed to racial admixture, but
being at heart thoroughly immoral it
insists that the mixing be done in an
illegal manner.
The mixing which has already been
accomplished was started by the white
South. 1t began in the days of slav.
cry, when the white master forced the
black slave women to bear children
who followed the condition of their
mothers and became slaves. A few
masters manumitted their half breed
children, but they were the excep.
tons to the general rule. Many mas.
own offspring for sale and in time the
tiers made a practice of breeding their
raising of children for the slave mar.
kets became recognized Southern
industry.
Since the abolition of slavery, the
white South, claiming Christ as its
guiding star, has enacted laws making
Christian marriage felony, thus d.
rectly aiding immortality. The white
South has in every way endeavored
to humiliate and degrade it's colored
people the majority of whom have
more or less Caucasian blood.
Search history through; read the
atrocities of the barbarian invasians
OF the early days, read the barbar.
tiles of the Middle Ages; read of the
1nquisition; read the story of the
French Revolution; read of Russia's
persecution of the Jews; read of civ.
ilized CD Europe's rape of Africa:
read the horrors of the Christians
war now devastating Europe. Add all
OF these together and they will not
equal In blackness what Southern
white people have meted out to their
own sons and daughters to their own
brothers and sisters, who are of q
slightly darker hue.
1t is the blacklist page in the annals
of the world.

Thief Robbed the House, but Brought

Sierra Vista, Gala thief with q
conscience recently entered the home
Of Clark Rubido here and after de-
camping with valuables amounting to
500 returned to the burglarized house
and deposited child's bank containing
81 in pennies, which had been part of
the loot, on the front porch.
The Rubido family visited friends in
Los Angeles that day, and about noon
a neighbor, Mrs. Caroline Martin, saw
a well dressed young man carrying a
suit case walk up@to the front door Of
the Rubido home, tumble with the lock
a moment and walk in.
Mrs. Martin thought the stranger
was probably friend of the Rubidos,
and when the young man reappeared
some time after, still carrying the suit
case, she told him that the Rubido
family was passing the day in the city.
The young man thanked her and hur-
ried on.
Half an hour later Mrs. Martin saw
the young man come back and deposit
something on the front porch Of the
house.
When the Rubidos returned they
found that the pleasant faced young
man had carried away all their silver,
several articles of jewelry and $50.
The baby's penny bank, which had
been returned, was about the only
movable valuable not taken.

We are all slaves to names and

SOUTH SEA ISLAND
COLONY IN AMERICA
Strange Community Is Discov-
cred In Utah,

Salt Lake City. Discovered - the
strangest community in the United
States.
1t is community of south sea
islanders. A thousand in number, they
are now settled in the Skull valley in
Utah, between the Great Salt lake and
the Nevada line.
There are Maoris, Samoans and Ha-
Waiians living and farming in perfect
harmony, intermarrying and raising
children.
twenty-five or thirty years ago the
older men of this strange colony came
from across the Pacific, some as sail
Ors, some as stowaWays.
They wandered in small groups about
California, and some Of them came
across the Sierras into Idaho and Utah.
They were starving when group of
business men decided to help them.
They secured $1,000 acres of land in
the Skull valley, collected all the south
sea natives that they could find and
established them in a colony which
they call Ioseppa.
An American farmer was selected as
superintendent. Each man was paid
good wages at the start, and as soon
as they were capable they were allow.
ed to buy half acre lots and cottages
at actual cost.
Now there is a new generation grow
ing up. Some Of the boys have gone
from the grade school and taken full
courses at the State Agricultural col
lege. Several Of the girls have become
stenographers in Salt Lake City. A
number have graduated from the Uni
versity of Utah.

Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It 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 it is the most potential fac.
tor at work at the present to bring
about both physical and mental
segregation of the people of color. Its
use Is on the increase only because
our speakers and writer's, especially
DO Bots and Washington feel that it's
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
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
blans only.
C. Its derivatives, "Negroism," me
Frofy," and it's compounds, Negro-head
Negro-fy, 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"
I. It is not differentiated in the mind
and thought of the whites from thei,
favorite and generally used (amone
themselves) terms, "Nigro" and mig
ger"
g. AS stated by an eminent Japanese
diplomat it has an unquestioned In
f1uence In cutting us off from the
thought, sympathy and cooperation
OF the millions Of colored Africans, Ash
at1cs and Islanders of the Yonde,
