1.-THE FATHER OF ABOLITION"

DR.. Samuel Hopkins, born at Water
bury, Conn.,, in September, 1921, was
a noted theologian of his day and was
also distinguished as an early oppon-
ent of the slave trade, although many
Of his Pensioners were interested in
it. His fierce opposition to slavery
and the slave trade won for him the
title of ''The Father of Abolition"
After graduating from Yale College
in 1741, he began theological studies
with Jonathan Edwards at Northamp-
ton, Mass, he was ordained pastor at
Hoosatonic, Mass. and remained there
until 1865, after which he preached in
various towns in Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut, his
congregations including destitute
societies.
The agitation he began led to the
passage of law in 1774, forbidding
further importation of slaves into
Rhode Island and to a subsequent act
declaring the children of slaves born

MORRIS THE MAN.

The reelection of Edward H. Nor
ris as national grand master of the
Odd Fellows is. a great triumph for
the manhood of the colored people. For
several years the jimcrow element in
the order has endeavored to unhorse
him, but the manly men have been on
their guard and have prevented that
which would have been great catas-
trophy. r.... ..-..5
The Grand United Order of Odd
Fellows in America, works under
charter from the Grand Lodge of Eng
land and for that reason, the colored
members in the United States enjoy
the fellowship of millions of men of
every race, scattered all over the
civilized globe.
Edward H. Morris of Chicago, is the
foremost colored lawyer of the world.
His career reads like romance Com
ing from the depths Of poverty, his
: tattered sovercoat, barely covered the
ragged suit he wore when he took the
examination for the bar. Now he is
one of the leaders of the Illinois Bar
and there are few who are anxious
to battle with him in the forum Those
who are competent to Judge estimate
that he has accumulated fortune of
more than a million dollars.

Master of sarcasm, ridicule is one
of his most powerful weapons when
addressing a jury. Keen in analysis
and versed in presidents, he seldom
loses a case, for after examination
if he decides that it has no merit, he
will not accept it no matter how allur-
ing the retainer offered
Morris is clean cut, thinking man,
who knows that he is an American
and who not only demands but re-
ceives treatment as an American.
When he was a member of the Illinois
legislature he secured the passage of
a strong civil rights BILL. to safeguard
the rights of all American citizens.
AS there are many jimcrow men
among. the 100000 members of the
Odd Fellows in this country, the ad-
vantage of having a man at it's head
who believes in manhood, should be
apparent to the most casual observer.

MUST BE A JOKE.

An exchange telegraph dispatch
from Geneva says that it is under
stood the German government pro-
poses to lodge a complaint with the
International Red Cross against the
use of the so-called tanks The
complaint will be on the ground that
the use of these new engines of war
is contrary to recognized methods of
civilized warfare. ~. "
After the sinking of the Lusitania,
the rape of Belgium, the despoiling of
Serbia, the Zeppelin airship raids over
England, killing innocent women and
children, and other Infamous acts of
Germans in the present world war, it
looks as if some grim joker is abroad
in the land.

BEAUTIFUL, BUT BUNK.

President Wilson, speaking. before
the citizenship convention, urged
square deap' for the immigrant and
demanded that America be kept the
finest example of the objects and ideals
that 60 to promote the standards of the
world.
1--WE ought to be careful to maintain
a government at which the immigrant
can look with the closest scrutiny and
to which he should be at liberty to
address this question: You declare
this to be land of liberty and of
equality and of Justice; have you made
it so by your law?' @
II believe America should exalt
above everything else the sover-
eighty of thoughtfulness and sympathy
and vision, as against the grosser i'm
pulses of mankind. No nation can live
without vision, and no vision will exalt
a nation except the vision of real lib
erty and real justice and purity of
conduct"
Natural born Americans were
warned by the president to examine
themselves carefully to see whether
they have burning in them the true
light of America which they expect
to show to these foreigners. ..-.'

! HUGHES. STRONG Polnr.

Mr.. Hughes in his speech to a
colored audience stated that he stood!
for equal and exact Justice for all
citizens regardless Of color, and he
said further:
- am sure you do not wish par.
ticular things done because of coIor.."y
That was strong point, so it seems
queer that some of the jim-crow
colored papers were careful to elimi-
nate it. Cutting out strong point
like that shows the working of the
jim-crow mind. ~
The American thinking, intelligent,
level-headed colored people certainly
do not want any particular thing, no
matter how alluring, because of color.
If they are treated exactly as other
Americans are treated they'll be sat-
isfied. They are not asking different
treatment or especial favors because
of color.
