They Are Coming South.

The people of the northwestern
states, beginning with Illinois. who
have been patting and pluming them
selves ON the high prices of their
farm lands are now getting the reflex
wave.
Not only has their noise scared of
immigration and new settlers from
other states but IL has afforded the
owners Of farms ana opportunity OF
selling their lands and going to some
place where they can buy to better
advantage, The railroads of Iowa.
Nebraska aud Kansas are overrun
with applications for cars for moy.

the stories Of the railroad men whose
positions give them n knowledge Of
the direction of the tide.
There is no question bu, that the
balance Of population Of the country,

Leave the Tax Equalization Law
Alone.

Efforts to repeal the tax equaliza-
ton law in Georgia should fail. The
law as it now stands should be left
alone. It is a good law, and should
not be iampered with. The general
assembly of the state, as it has moth
ing further 10 do than 10 discuss the
repeal Of This law. may as well ad-
journ and go home. says the Column
bus Enquire sun.
That every dollor's worth Of prop
erty in the state Of Georgia should
bear its proportionate share Of taxa
ton is a proposition that is so fair
and just no honest man can afford
to dispute it. And this is just what
the tax equalization law means-noth-
ing more and nothing less
Any man who opposes the PROPOSE
ton takes the responsibility OF say
ing that one mans property. although
il may be as valuable as that of anoth-
er, should not be taxed as that of the
other. This would be unfair and
should not be tolerated.
If man owns farm lands worth ten
dollars an acre they should be re.
turned for taxation at ten dollars an
acre; if his neighbor owns farm lands
that arc worth fifty dollars an acre
they should be returned for taxation
at fifty dollars an acre.
If man owns money upon which
lie is not paying tax he should be
required TO pay, just as his neighbor
Is paying upon his money.
This is the principle involved. No
dollar should carry less Of its share
OF the burden of taxation than any
other dollar
Already the tax equaliz lion law in
this state has been shown to be of
great benefit TO the state in he in
crease in the state under this law.
which fact goes to show conclusively
that it should stand.
If every dollars worth of property
in Georgia were now carrying its
share of taxation the state would re-
ceive a Jnrge amount of additional
revenue annually; the Increase would
go a long way toward meeting tho ex-
penses of the state and might be suf-
iicient to discharge virtually all of the
states Indebtedness. And The state
tax might be reduced.
In the meantime, however. because
much of the property of the state is
escaping proper and just taxation. in
order to meet the expenses OF the
state, it may be necessary TO place
the tax rate at the limit. and evon
then there may not be sufficient rev
enue to dcfray the necessary expense
OF the state,
We say the tax equalization law
has already been shown to be excel
lent legislation; its worth has already
been proven, and il. under It's opera.
ton, we shall continue to make prog
ress. We shall be advancing rapidly
toward the solution of the financial
problem of the state
Let the state equalization act
stand.

DEATH Of MRS. LOUISE r. JOY

HistAry Contested With Assd Ws~aa~
Whose Frssdem o>sehsr Purchased.
The following account Of the death
Paynter. which appeared In the Wash
ington Post in February. q interesting
for many reaSons Tho reference to
the part taken by the late Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher and the Plymouth
church in Brooklyn il Of much histori-
cal value.
Mr.. Paynter's article reads thus:
A few days ago the mortal remains
Of Mrs. Louisa 4. Joy. whose residence
in the District covered a period Of
nearly seventy years, were Laid to rest
Her entire life was symbolfxed BY an
unwavering faith in God, devotion to
the church and loving service to her
family.
The passing of this splendid Chris
tian character is otherwise notable.
too, for she was the last Of the eight
cen sons and daughters Of Paul and
Amelia EdmOnson. seven OF whom
were associated with seventy others in
an effort to escape from slavery In
1s4S. The attempt was unsuccessful.
mainly through information furnished
the masters by one Judson DiSgs.
free colored man. who had q small per.
sonal spite to satisfy.
The steamer PEARL with its cargo Of
fugitives. was overhauled at Cor96eld
Harber. landing on the PotOmac
river. and the masters. anticipating re-
sistance. boarded her with pistols and
clubs drawn, but were speedily reas-
sured when Richard Edmonson stuck
his head above the hatchway and ex-
claimed: DO thyself no harm, gen
tlemen. We are all here"
The slaves we're returned to Wash
ington. and most Of them were eventu-
ally sold In the southern slave market
Two Of these sisters. Emily and Mary.
were saved from this fate mainly
through the efforts Of the Rev. Henry
Ward Beccher who held a large meet
ing in his famous Brooklyn church, at
which time the money for their deiiv-
erance from slavery was enthusiast
cally subscribed.
A little later the aged mother herSelf
journeyed to New York and was equal

thy and hid Of Mr.. Beecher for the res
cue Of the'two remaining children. one
of whom was Mrs. Louisa Joy. who
has just passed away.

aries in foreign fields have gone 70.
months without their salaries. 1t IL
therefore hardly reasonable to expect
larger returns from divided forces
Though the boards have had only the
crumbs that have fallen from the
tables In the churches. God hns blessed
the great national organization because
of the ioftiness of the purpose OF the
fathers. set forth In their note Of
vision. faith and sc in the Atlanta
instrument.
Fifth.-We have been responsible for
the operating expenses of only one con-
vention. and we are thousands of dol
lars behind. How can these same peo-
pie support two National Baptist con-
venti"ns. two publishing houses. two
foreign mission boards. two home mis-
sion boards. two B. Y. P. U. boards.
two educational boards and two benefit
boards?
Sixth.-Strife over material things
has never been challenge to the
Christian church to offer its best in
lives and money. A situation similar
to the one we now face caused the spir-
itual fires that burned so fiercely for
several hundred years after Pentecost
to die out and hastened the death of
Christianity in northern Africa. Negro
Baptists in America are now marching
to the music of similar death.
Seventh.--This division Is discourag-
ing to our friends in the north and
south, who have given US moral and
large financial support through schools
Of our home mission societies. Our
friends have invested faith and hope.
things more valuable than money.
which If once lost will be beyond the
power Of this and even the next gener-
alton to restore. To fail these friends
will be moral catastrophe. 1t will be
fifty years at least before southern
Baptists will invest $4,000 annually
in our uplift and offer us $4,000 to
stimulate us to keep our promise to
ourselves in the matter Of providing q
national theological seminary.
Northern Baptists will serve us with
greater fear. and others who are anx-
iOus to encourage worthy efforts on the
part of even other Negro denomina-
tions will have this constant reminder
of our unsettled. unsa tisfactory inter-
hdl cOuulLibu. III sOLucE WOIU0s w
heavals OF this kind are positively dis
couraging to our friends and wonder
fully gratifying and strengthening to
our enemies.
Eighth.-Granting that we might re
cover from the loss of northern and
southern friends. we will never recover
the loss OF the confidence of the masses
that have been counseled by the lead
ers of the denomination to support out
Of their penury these enterprises Will
the leaders suffer the masses. that 80
much need all that our friends have to
give for their uplift. to be robbed Of SO
great heritage?
Because OF the spiritual. moral. eco
nomic and social loss we will certainly
sustain AZ result Of this division. we
call upon pastors and laymen to work
to spread the gospel of peace and unity
which has been and will ever be the
conquering sign of the Christian army.
Pence and unity must come because
God wants 1t, and there IL not man
in the country who desires our poor
people to pay the price that they alone
must pay II we stay apart.
The Denver star., 1916-03-18

This advanced step was taken by the
fathers that we might be able to do
more effectively mission work in Amer
lea. in Africa and elsewhere abroad, to
foster the cause Of education and to
promote the republication and circulation
of religious literature. Prominent Rap
lists now say:
Phenomenal success has come as the
result of this union. outeiistancing By
far in financial growth. numerical
strength and physical equipment the
combined achievements Of all other
Negro denominati tons. In our Chicago
convention In 1918, when we should
have been celebrating the twentjeth
marriage anniversary Of this union,
we separated. and the entire Christian
world Is asking louder and louder:
Why7 To do what? We must admit
that our phenomenal success was due
to this happy union. 1t is therefore
evident that we must have a great
1pany more reasons for going back to
gether than we have for staying apart.
Realizing this fact we have met here
to ask the direction Of God and TO plan
TO secure the cooperation Of the lead
ers Of the two conventions and Of ev-
cry man and woman in the denOml-
nation who pray. Thy Kingdom come.
thy will be DONE" to the end that the
national Baptist convention might
again take up unitedly the task to
which 1t set itself in Atlanta twenty
years ago. After prayer and confer

self evident:
First.-We did not separate because
Of any differences over polity or prin-
ciples for which Baptists have always
stood and contended. but have siraply
differed az to the management Of ma
terial enterprises and over administra-
tive affairs We believe satisfactory
adjustment Is not only desired, but
essential II the denominatiOnal growth
In the next fifty years Is TO compare

Second.-Becnuse the day Of overlap

times IN against it. We cannot succeed

whelming public sentiment will drive

Third.-Because our people are en-
tirely too poor and too weak to pay the
price Of n qunrrcl among Christians
over secular affairs
Fonrth.-Even when united we never
measured up satisfactorily In the sup.

enterprises. Secretaries have been
