BELIEVES IN EQUAL RIGHTS.
William D. Brigham's Remarkable Let
ter to Race Through the Guardian.

William D. Brighan's Remarkable Let
ter to Race Through the Guardian.
Boston. - A remarkable episode in
race affairs has taken place here. A
practical friend Of the race was taken
down with pneumonia recently. Ed
itor w. TrOtter. as secretary Of the
Equal Rights league, which is urging
the race to hold Douglass centenaries
under Equal Rights committees, sent
word to the pastors of the various
churches of his friends condition, and
prayers were offered in their churches
for his recovery. This friend Is now
recovering and has sent the following
letter Of sincere gratitude to the Bos-
ton Guardian, of which Mr.. Trotter is
the editor:
Dorchester, Mass, Jan. II, 1917.

mia and walking In ''the Valley Of the
Shadow of Death"--I am glad to say
walking in it and not through it-and
am writing these lines to express my deep
est gratitude for the prayers offered for

There are two sides to the equation
when one has day and a night nurse, a
physician calling two or three times a
day. q pneumonia specialist from the city
and tank of oxygen in an adjoining
room ready for sudden use. 1t is difficult
to say how much Of a recovery Is due to
human skill and how much to prayer, but
firmly believe that prayers offered by
those who have the ear Of God affect the
result. Many such live in humble homes
and are unknown to the world, but be-
lieve that prayer moves the hand that
moves the world"
I suppose those who believe in segrega-
ton will agree that prayer is colorless-
that there is no such thing as black pray
ers and white prayers. 1t is almost worth
while to have been so sick for the sake
of receiving such evidences Of love and
affection and appreciation as were sent to
me and which / was only able to have
read to me during the last few days.
During my sickness ] thought of Tenny-
sons lines: .
"And may there be no moaning of the bar
When put out to sea-"
am glad to have struck some blows for
equality and only wish they had been
harder. Let each of us be found with
his face to the foe fighting for freedom
and equal rights, and then when the last
hour comes each one of us will have un-
derneath him the everlasting arms and
can say: lr.t..

May ask all who were kind enough
to remember me to receive this expression
Of my gratitude in place Of a personal
acknowledgment Sincerely,

violence. but backs up his words by
action. When q mob of white men
undertook to lynch a colored man at
Murray, KY, in January Governor
Stanley, on being informed of the
mobs intention, ordered special train
to convey him to the scene Of the mob,
and he let it be understood that as
governor he would enforce the law.
In this city and section Of the coun-
try the most worthy and manly ruling
in court of justice occurred the third
week in January in part five of the
court of general sessions, presided over
by Judge Otto A. Rosalsky. The court
was examining talesmen for jury duty
in the case of the People against Ma
thaniel Motley, accused of the murder
of John Press in this city in August,
1916 John A. Magee, one of the tales
men, on being questioned as to his
fitness to serve as juror in the case
stated, SO 1t is said, that the best rea.
son he could give for not being COM
petent to serve as juror in this par
ticular case was his prejudice against
the Negro race and that as the de-
fendant belonged to the Negro race he
could not serve impartially.
Judge Rosalsky was so astonished
at such a reply that he ordered Ma
gees name stricken from the jury list.
The court told Magee that, while the
white man sits in Judgment today OH
the colored man, one cannot tell but
what the colored man might sit In
judgment on the white man tomorrow.
II shall order your name dropped from
the list" said Judge Rosalsky. "Any
man with such views should be dis
qualified from serving on jury, for
do not think that any man should sit
In Judgment on a human being In a
case involving his life or property who
has such prejudice against race"
Judge Rosalsky's ruling has caused
wide comment in legal circles, and
among the brightest minds at the New
York bar the courts ruling Is consid-
cred a fair and upright decision. Not
only does the courts ruling disqualify
John A. Magee from serving on jury
but It is one of the severest blows tc
race prejudice that has been struck by
any Judge here for many day. Many
communications lauding Judge Rosal,
sky for his fairness and strong man
hood have been received by the court.
My attention was called to the Inn
portance to the Negro race of the
courts ruling by Attorney j. Frank
Wheaton, an able and popular mem
Der Of the New York bar. Mr.. Whea-
ton says: Judge Rosalsky's decision
will not only go far to create favorable
public sentiment for legal justice to
my race, but for the members Of other
races throughout the country as well.

the war revealed to the people of the German metropolis. Berlin is coddled, pampered. The burden that is inn posed on her is not as heavy as that borne by other municipalities. Her food supply is greater, and the re- strictions are not as tightly drawn. The cities in the extreme north are lifeless. Unable to contribute their share to the great conflict, they are neglected a greater toll of man power being expected from them.
 Photographs were shown in private circles of the longshore women of Cuxhaven being driven like sheep to load the ships with supplies; mere shapeless snags of women-flat-ches ed and devoid of feminine grace, slouching along with unwomanly dis regard of their appearance. And yet, only three years ago these coarse, frowsy creatures were noted for the sturdiness of their carriage and a certain rugged voluptuousness. The government considered these photo graphs of sufficient importance to make g. house-to-house search in the district for copies of them and to ar rest the holder of the negative.

den. Fewer bread and fuel riots have been reported in this city than in other places, where the factories have turned blank fronts for the past two years. Now and then there is an attempt by the authorities to force things, "whoop her up," as one hears at the campmeetings, to make people forget their troubles. Shortly after MT. Gerard's departure 8 slight military gain, which had been mag nified by the government into a great victory, was seized upon as an occas- ion to enhearten the burghers.
 Berlin broke into bunting and there was a great deal of handshaking and mighty chorus of "Hochs" in the neighborhood of Wilhelmstrasse, with a feebler echo from the people. Re strictions were removed for the day and an attempt was made to revive the old street dancing. Berlin wach-

THE INDIAN SCHOOL
By Johnson McAfee


 Fifty-two employees and teachers and IT pupils bought $5,500 worth of Liberty bonds Several of the pupils made their purchase from their own earnings from the recent vacation period.
 William T. Moore, a graduate of this school, visited the school to see his sister, teachers and friends before going to Linda Vista, Cal, where he is to join the First Arizona Infantry band. William was studying music in Chicago until he enlisted in the First Illinois infantry when war was de- clared. He has made a splendid rec ord as a student, musician and SOL dier
 Dr. Allen K. Faust and Mrs. Faust with their two boys are visiting Dr. and Mrs. Warden of the Indian school. Dr. Faust is on his way to Japan where he is engaged in mission and educational work. He spoke at the '. M. c. A. meeting and also to the students on Thursday evening.
 The Hopi Indians of northern Ari- zona purchased S2700 worth of Liberty bonds. One old Indian, it is said. was so pleased to have an opportunity of helping Uncle Sam that he took the coin buttons off his coat to make his first payment. Several Hopf young men have enlisted in the army and navy.
 The Sherman Institute Indian band won first place in a band contest re- gently held in Sacramento during the state fair There were about 30 in the organization, and the victory is a reward for conscientious and insistent practice. Why couldn't we say this of our Indian School band?
 A study hall for the industrial de- partment is nearing completion. This will be an advantage to the boys and the industrial instructors.
 On Friday evening after Thanks giving play is to be given by the girls The money derived from it will be used for buying Christmas presents for the Indian boys that are in the army and navy from this school. The | surplus will be given to the Red Cross. The admission will be ten cents or as much as one wants to give All pupils. campus people and their friends are | invited.
 | Mrs Owsley received a very inter- esting letter from John McNary, who l is now in Manila after cruising around | the East India islands. He says that | they had gone there to look for a Ger man raider, but later learned that the German crew had been taken prisoner | by the Japanese. This would have been Johns senior year had he stayed in school, but he left school to join the navy with several other boys whom we are always glad to hear from. | Gustavus Welch, a graduate of the Carlisle Indian school and of the Dickinson law school, was recently made second lieutenant of the United | States cavalry. He received his train | ing at the officers reserve corps al Fort Niagara and also from French of- ficers at Harvard university.
