force College Advises
His Race,
To The Colored Voter.

We are now on the eve of another
national election-an election that will
determine whether the Republican
party is to be restored to power or
whether the Democratic party shall
continue its sectional legislature and
other legislation humiliating to the
black man. 1t is therefore an im-
portant question how you are going
to vote. What is your attitude to-
ward the Republican party--the party
of all parties that deserves most at
the hand of the colored voter? Are
you going to be blind to your best
interests by casting your vote in such
way as to continue the Democratic
party in power? cannot believe
that any sane man with a black face
will SO far forget himself as to cast
his Vote to keep a party in power that
openly and avowedly opposes his
best interests and that makes it a
part of its legislation to assail and
humiliate him whenever there is an
opportunity to do so. s.- !
The continued success of the DEM
ocratic party in our country is far
reaching, especially since Northern
Democracy is. so closely allied with
that of the South that the success of
the one simply encourages the other
to further deeds of opposition to the
manhood rights of the Negro. The
entire South is controlled by. the
Democratic party. In that section
alone are found not only prescription
and disfranchisement but every
means is employed to debase and to
humiliate the Negro people. Then,
too with our Northern states DEM
ocratic, how long will it be before we
shall see the. strange spectacle of
Jim-Crow cars in that section as
we'll? An effort of this kind has al
ready been made in the City of Wash
ington, which shows what this party
would do if it had complete power
The Tillmans and the Vardamans
have already declared what they hope
to do with reference to the race in
the near future. With a Democratic
South, Democratic North means
setting back the hand on the dial OF
progress fifty years. Are you willing
to lend your aid to such legislation
You know full we'll the situation. Mr.
Wilson has shown what he will do if
the Democratic party is continued in
power. He has shown that he means
to keep the Negro down as far as he
can. This has been his policy from
the beginning. He has removed every
Negro office-holder and put into his
place either an Indian or a southern
white man. The Negro who votes
the Democratic ticket in the North is
not only tieing his own hands, but
those of his people; he is paving the
way for further insults and iii treat
ment.
All legislation in the interest Of
the black man has been accomplished |
through the Republican party. !
Mr.. Hughes, the Republican cam
didate, is an ideal mana man upon
whom all can depend for fair. play
and fair treatment. He will give US
an honest and honorable manage
because of false or fancied wrongs,
and should SEEK his own best good |

CHILD LABOR DAY.

There are many days which receive
special observance throughout the
year, but there is none which deserves
more respect or calls for a wider rec
IGNITION than that of child labor day,
which has been fixed this year for
Sunday. January %. This has been
observed for the past ten years with
increasing interest and from the par
ticipation therein this years ohserv-
ance should be the greatest of them
all. The day is observed for educa-
tional purposes as part of the great
movement for bringing the people to
a greater recognition Of the conditions
of child labor throughout the country
in the commemorate effort TO I'm
prove them.
Much has been done in the different
states to better the conditions under
which children are employed The
purpose Is to safeguard their inter-
ests in every way through state and
national legislation Some states are
far in advance Of others in this re-
spect. but there are number where
private interests are allowed to stand
in the way of the public good and to
reach these federal legislation is be-
ing urged. The merits of the bill were
recognized in one house of congress
at the last session, but killed in the
other. 1t is being urged again this
year and public opinion, as in the past,
is going to play an important part in
getting the support which is necessary
to place the law upon the statute
books. and it is through the giving Of
the Information to the public upon
which to base its opinion that it can
be moved to exert its influence In be-
half Of the children and the part
which they are going to play as future
citizens.

Stories of the War

British defeat as all the more signifi
cant. According TO Ottoman sources
of information the British losses in
this battle were IL colonies, 20S other
officers and 5000 men killed, and at
least as large a number wounded.
General Townsend, the British COM
mander. himself. is said to have been
severely wounded. Much war materi-
al and several river craft and trans
port barges were also captured by the
Turks.
When the news of the battle of
Gtesiphon reached Constantinople the
city was decorated with flags and
bunting as never before. For once the
Turk emerged fully from his lethargic.
state and celebrated on an elaborate
scale.
1t had been Mohammed's intention,
six centuries ago, to take the White
Palace Of Ctesiphon, but he did not
live long enough to lead his Arab
hordes agains the Persian stronghold.
The undertaking was left to the sec
ond caliph. Omar, whose commander
chief, Sand, defeated the Persians
under Rustem at Seleucia, on the right
bank of the Tigris river, so decfsively
that a few months later Emperor
of Persia, also lost Ctesiphon, the
twin city across the raging and wide
stream. Then fell Maiden, as the
Arabs fifty called Seleucia and Ctesi-
phon--the Twin City. So far Maiden
had been distinctly Persian in every
aspect. The Moslern faith now replac-
ed the mixture Of fire worship and
Zorcastrism.
Seleucia and Ctesinphon, under the
Persians, had been the jewels of the
Tigris valley, materially and intellect
ually. The fertile soil of the district
yielded crops in profusion, and in the
city carpet weavers. gold and silver
smiths. and arnorers were thriving in
prosperity. Though Persian in relig-
ion, the people were under the inf1u-
ence of the later schools of Greek
philosophy and one of the last groups
in which this high development of
thought was forcibly supplanted by
the cast-iron dogma Of early Semetie
creed.
