"LAW" IN LOUISIANA.

Early in the month martial law was
declared throughout Jefferson parish,
adjoining New Orleans, Louisiana.
Governor Hall said in his proclama-
ton that "a reign of lawlessness exists
in Jefferson parish, and it appears
that authorities of the parish, charged
with enforcement of the law, are in
sympathy with the lawless element"
The state troops conflscated and
burned various gambling parapher.
MALTA.
The dispatch announcing martial
law contained this statement:
SALOONS serving both white persons
and Negroes will be closed immediate,
ly, but other saloons will be allowed
to operate as long as there is no dis
ORDER" -,
And that is the gist Of the whole
affa1r-colored and white people are
not allowed to drink together in
Louisiana.

A REAL PHILANTHRoPIsT.

SS..h.0@ S1SS1oNI S1nOTlSUs
One of the most pleasing things we
have heard of lately is contained in
the will Of the late Andrew Freedman
OF New York, the bachelor who left
an estate valued at 100000, the
bulk of which is to be used even.
tually for the establishment of a
home for the aged on original lines
which the founder himself had for
mulated. It will be known as the
Andrew Freedman Home. It will re-
ceive aged persons in INDECENT cir
cumstances without regard to race,
sex or creed, and especially will it
care for old couples who, in the even.
ing of life might otherwise be forced
to live apart. Mr.. Freedman selected
twenty-four persons, who will be re-
Quested to act as trustees of the
home. They represent various races
and religions and their selection
shows that the testator intended that
the institution should have a repre-
sentative board. Mr.. Freedman, evil

PREJUDICE.

No people on earth know better than
the colored people of this country do,
what prejudice is; but Nathan Straus
in the New York Times has some idea
of it. He says:
1T is easy to create, it is hard to
destroy. Sinister of wit, it is weak of
wisdom. It's perceptions are false. 1t
sees in darkness; it is blind in the
light. It nutures lies and rejects truth.
Breeding hatred, it blasts sympathy.
It rules those who give it life. It is
a conjured Frankenstein, dominating
millions of men. It sits beside the
gates Of life and takes toll of all that
pass.
1T is the conservator of all that rea.
son would destroy, the destroyer of
the works of Justice. It is the hand
maiden of error, the nemesis of knowl-
edge. It feeds fear and poisons hope.
It lives by the law. of the dead. It
thr1ves upon the meat OF. yesterday.
It sickens on the sustenance of to-
day.
1T is the anarchist of the heart. It
smothers faith. 1t gives love to the
torch. It bemeans benevolence and
shuns communion. It stills the sound
of music and palsies the hand of art.
It betrays belief and sets suspicion on
throne. It rejoices in tears It's
mirth is in misery.
1T is the monster of the mind It
pollutes thought, serves despair, and
ravishes right. It offends against fact
and Is a stranger to logic. It's soothing

ABRAHAM LINCOLN,

, Today is the one hundreth and
fifth anniversary of the birthday of
the martyr president, Abraham
Lincoln. All over this country, be-
fore tomorrow's sun, eulogies will be
pronounced upon this great man. He
will be lauded for his many great
deeds and virtues by scores of
Caucasian speakers, chosen mainly,
because Of their ability to sound the
praises of the illustrious dead. Every
speaker, without exception, will al
lude to the generally conceded crown
ing act of the great emancipation"

the home of the brave" in the most
glowing words at their command.
This is all right; great men and their
great deeds should be remembered
and be spoken of on appropriate &C.
casions. But what we could never
understand is, that if the acts of
Lincoln and the spirit that prompted
them were so commendable, why is
it that his example has not been more
generally emulated by the people in
power in this country so far as their
brothers in black are concerned. =

WHO WILL BE FOUND WORTHY,

WHO WILL BE FOUND WORTHY,
There is considerable speculation in
the minds Of the people all over the
country, as to who will be found
worthy to receive the "Spingarn
Medal to be awarded in this month.
The "Spingarn Medal" is gold
medal of the value of $100, and Is
awarded annually to the colored per-
son In the United States who is
deemed to have rendered the most dis
tinguished service during the year in
any field of honorable or elevated en-
deavor. The medal is given by Dr.
J. E. Spingarn of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People and its award may we'll
be considered the most distinguished
recognition one can receive in this
prejudice cursed country. ....
It will be remembered that the first
medal was awarded last year to DIR.
Edward E. Just professor in Harvard
University Medical School, for dis
tinguished results in biological re-
search. ..,.
The committee of award consists of
ex-president William H. Taft, Oswald
Garrison Willard, DR.. James H. billiard,
Bishop John Hurst and Pres. John
Hope, of Morehouse College, Atlanta;
the latter two being colored. The pre-
sentation will be made by Governor
Mccall at mass meeting held under
the auspices of the N. A. A. G. P. at
fremont Temple, Boston, Mass, on
Washington's birthday, February 22nd,
the name of the fortunate individual
will not be known until the presenta-
ton is made by Governor Mccall,
hence we say, we wonder who will be
found worthy?

DANIELS DOUBTED.

Said Secretary Of the Navy Daniels
at Washington recently, at fraternal
night ceremonies:
II pray to God that the day will
come in Methodism when there will
not have to be any fraternal night, -
The Secretary added that he hoped
that the day would come when there
would be no Northern or Southern
Methodist churches, but there will be
but one church. i
OF course he did not exactly mean
that. What he meant to say was that
he hoped the time would come when
there will be but one WHITE church
and that the yellow, black. red and
brown Christians be forbidden to
enter.
