TEACHING TREASON.

Hubert Eaves, colored boy II
years old, at Des Moines, Iowa has
several times refused to salute the
American flag at the Clarkson public
school, which he attends and has been
arrested by the truant officer. He
says: America is a white mans
country, have no country"
1t is said that he was instructed to
do this by his parents and if true
they are not only making fools of
themselves, but are guilty of treason
when they teach their son to refuse
to salute the stars and stripes. They
have done the boy a great wrong by
endeavoring to instill such pernicious
ideas into his mind and they are
teaching him a falsehood.
The Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States
specifically states: All persons born
or naturalized in the United States,
and subjects to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United
States and of the State wherein they
reside. That covers the case of the
caves family. Both parents, and the
boy were born here and are citizens
by right of birth, and this country is
as much their country as it is the
country of any other persons who
were BORN here.
Vardaman, Tillman and some other
more or less notorious sons of the
South have announced that this is
"white mans country" and no doubt

see the Supreme Court of the natior
declare unconstitutional the very de
vices which he asked the race to sub
nit to. In other words, that court
asserted that the intention of the
amendments, that made the race citi-

the franchise for the protection OF
their citizenship.

things Mr. Washington desired most

For twenty years he labored to have
his people secure the rudiments of
common school education and enjoy
the friendly attitude of their white
neighbOrs. This he did not realize tc

kegee can continue on the same elab.
crate scale, unless philanthropy en-.
doWs while the country feels keenly
the death of it's founder. All sensible
persons believe the race must have
material basis upon which to stand.
1t must also be remembered that the
material prosperity of every people is
protected by the skill and brains of
the learned in the law that guide in
dustrial enterprises. No race needs
learned professional men as MICH as
our race. No race needs a leadership
which is equipped with the very es-
sence of scholastic ability as does the
race. When men say that William
E. B. Dubois has done nothing, thew

manhood, scholarship and ability that

many students who look with pride
upon their stay in the class room

races greatest assets. It is time for
the race, and especially it's press, to
| taboo abuse of our men who are men
and will let the world know it. We
must learn to differ from men and
respect them. If the criticism of the
editor of the Crisis was in opportune
at the time, the vitrialic attack on
him is more so. Let us hope the press
will learn to be just to the living

Indifferent to South's Aggression,

The article says that there will be
no printed report of these arguments
because Colored persons are not con-
sldered as citizens by the Democratic
majority in Congress, and that the
South has deprived the Colored people
OF all representation in Congress (of
course with the acquiescence of the
Republican North) and introduces
hostile bills upon which now it tries
to refuse hearing, and asks how long
this disregard of the rights of Colored
citizens under the Constitution is to
90 unchecked by the american ma
tion."
Mf. Grlmke summarizes the argu-
ments used, especially against the
stlgmatizing and degrading anti-inter-
marriage bills as follows:
We showed why the bills ought not
10 become law; that white and Col.
ored people have been riding in the
same cars since 1865, without race
friction; that there is no public de.
mand for separate cars and street
railway companies are opposed to
them; and while we did not advocate
the inter-marriage of the races. far
from it, yet we were opposed to these
antl-marriage bills because there is
no necessity for such law, as in.
ter-marriage between the races is very
rare and is, in fact, a negligih]e
quantity in the District of Columbia
as such marriages constitute but a
small fraction of one per cent of the
marriages in the district. We went
further and deeper, and showed that
such a law would operate not to raise
public morals but to lower them: not
to prevent the inter-mixture of the
races but to make amalgamation an
pallingly easy.
Laws Against Inter-Marriaae Do Not
Stop but Increase Inter-mixture
of coIored Blood.
He showed how such laws operate
to preserve race purity in the South
by establishing double moral and legal
standards, and how white men can
ana 40 live in concubinage with
Colored women there, having chill
dren by them with impuity; that they
i've IN lawful union with white women
IN their world and in unlawful union
with black women in their world at
one and the same time, producing in
consequence vast number of mixed
FLOODS every year. We showed that If
Colored women had the same legal
redress against white men which
White women possess, by action for
seduction and bastardy process. and
mat If these white men could he
forced legally to support their Colored
chlldren, could be brought to book nv
the criminal law for adultery and form.
cation with Colored women. there
would be vastly less inter-mixture Of
me races IN the South than is going
on there at present, and that the
south is opposed not to illicit inter
course between the races, but only to
legal sexual relations between them.

Mr.. Archibald H. Grimke, president

senior member of the Swedish parlia-

only six days in the year during which
he may introduce bills in the Swedish
parliament. Mr.. Bergman of Stock

series of lectures at the university.

had just been appointed to RESPONSE

duties. Secretary Bondo of the Dam

had their preparation for departure
