Paid High Tribute by Newspaper Cor

Boston, ss.-Throughout the coun.
try the race is being ably represent.
ed in oratorical contests. Among
those attracting considerable atten.
ton are Charles S. Morris, Jr., aged
II years, of Norfolk, Va, who was
chosen to represent his school, the
Wilson Academy, of Nyack, N. Y, on
March 2 in the oratorical contest at
Columbia University, and David A.
Lane, Jr
One of the large daily papers here
had the following comment, anent
Mr. Lanes selection to represent his
school:
That the prize for the best origi-
nal Grafton delivered by a Bowdoin
College senior should this year have
gone to David A. Lane, Jr., a Negro
will not surprise those who have OBJ
served the recent achievements of this
race.
What is particularly noteworthy
about the incident mentioned, and no
doubt contributed to the winers sue
cess, was the fact that he chose no
irrelevant and high-sounding subject,
but a practical topic appropriate to
the times and to himself, namely, The
Task of the College-Trained Negro.
Were all orators as careful to
choose cOmmon-sense subjects, on
which they are able to speak with
some authority, their audiences would
oftener find it worth while to listen. -

NO. II GETS NEW TRUCK.

In consideration of the splendid
service being rendered by Hose Com
pany Nc. II, the board of fire and
water commissioners have given this
company a new motor truck-the first
ever given any Negro company in the
state. 1t is an up-tO-date machine
well equipped with all of the modern
fire lighting appliances.
1t is a special machine that was
made for demonstration purposes. 1t
was the means of selling the city more
than twenty pieces of motor fire ap-
paratus. The chassis was made by
the Velie Motor Vehicle Co., of Moline,
ILL.,, and the so horsepower COntin-
entail motor, made by the Continental
Company of Detroit, Mich The boys
are all smiles and have no doubt but
that they will keep up the splendid
record of their company. Captain
John Todd, who is an able fire fighter
and his men, are giving their best
services in the discharge of their
duties and not only the boys of No H.

MARQUES CASE DISMISSED.
Charges Against Negro School Head
Not Sustained by the Evidence.

Oklahoma City, Feb 26.-After an
all-day hearing today on charges that
had been filed against j. NJ. Marques,
president of the Colored A. & M. col
lege at Langston, that he had misused
the funds of the school and lack of
discipline, the state board of educa-
tion unanimously dismissed the char
ges as not being sustained by the evi-
dence.
The board Immediately ordered an
audit made of the financial and other
records of the institution of the state
examiner and inspector and a system
of accounting established in the in
stitution. A rule that the state board
had invoked in the school, that each
student should be required to work
a certain portion of the day, was re-
vOked and vocational study will be
supplied as soon as the school can be
equipped for it.
A number of the students of the
school were at the hearing as wit
nesses for or against the president.
Marques, testifying for himself, con-
vinced the board that everything
mentioned in the charges had been
accounted for.

JIM CROW BILL
ORDERED ENGROSSED

The perennial Jim Crow" bill in
variably bobs up in every session of
the Missouri legislature and this ses-
sion is no exception to the rule. The
Colored people of the state were
thrown into CONSERVATION by the tele-
graphic report that the lower house
of the Missouri legislature had order
ed to engrossment the infamous Jim
Crow car bill, introduced by an OBJ
scure representative from the south
ern section of the state. Immediate
ly steps were taken among the Col
ored people of the state to organize
the joint committee of representative
citizens to wait upon the legislature
and show cause why such pernicious
legislation should not be permitted
to become a law. At the meeting held
in this city at Ebenezer A. NJ. f..
church, Wednesday night, presided
over by Mr.. c. A. Franklin. addresses
were delivered by Rt. Rev. H. B.
Parks, .. D., Lawyers Galloway, Hues-
ton and Knox; Prof. J. S. Harris, Dr..
William j. Thompkins and others. and
delegation composed of C. H. Gallo
way, ]. Silas Harris, William J..
Thompkins and Bishop H. B. Parks
was selected to cooperate with other
delegations in devising ways and
means by which to defeat this legis-
lation. It is unbelievable that in these
crucial hours of national peril that
those in authority would heap indig-
mites and vicious legislation upon the
heads of a people who have not only
always been loyal, but who are ex-
Tending the flag, the lives and the
country of those who would do them
this great injustice. Shame on such
legislation! The Sun does not believe
that the stalwart, courageous and
manly Democrats and Republicans of
the Missouri legislature will permit
the passage of this atrocious and
vicious measure.

About 100000 of them are stationed
on the southern wing of the line, neal

The Colored soldiers came from AL

Congo and other African colonies OF
France, and are to a large part semi
savages, but always give a good ac
count of themselves when they go into

of death and they willingly bear al
privations and face the greatest dan

WHITE SUPREMACY"
(REV.) WIN. A. BYRD.

Nearly forty years ago the South
was given a free hand to do as it
pleased with the franchise of the col
ored race living there. President
Hayes paved the way for white SUI
! premacy." For a short while northern
white men, colored men and some
! southern men ruled the South This
regime is called by the South, carpet
bag" Too often it has been malicious
ly stated that this was the curse of
the South. This is NOT true! While
the so-called "carpet-baggers" ran the
government of the South, the people
enjoyed an orderly government, save
outbursts of violence from lawless
white southerners. The presence of
federal soldiers made the South re-
spect law. Their withdrawal was a
signal for legal violence" The shib-
boleth was white supremacy" I'm
der white supremacy" have grown up
men like Tillman, Cole Blease, James
X. Vardaman, Hoke Smith and many
others. Under its regime the South
has had withering blight of lawless-
ness; lynching, burning, murder, peon-
age, white-cappers and red-shiTters.
Constitutional government has given
away to mob "law" The courts have
been subsidized by politicians; educa-
tion denied the poor whites, while the
colored people have suffered almost
the loss of all educational advantages.
Race prejudice, like a hyena, creeps
stealthily into everything. Christian
ity has been made the vehicle for
spreading snObbishness and hypoc-
risy; church unity halted because of
the black Christian. Segregation in
cities, "jim-crowism" in public con-
veyances and brutal oppression meet
you at every turn. At no stage in
Americas history has civilization
been so low as now while white su-
premacy rules" Not only has it
gripped the South but it is cautiously
planting itself everywhere. white
supremacy" may be defined as the
absolute independence of white men
to law and order. From white SUI
premacy" the colored South is run
ming. Heaven smile upon their flight!
Judged by its-own record, white SUI
premacy" is the reign of brutal terror
and barbarous ferocity. Under it all
races retrograde. Is it not time for
the reign of "law and order to be in
stalled by the votes of the governed?
Among the sufferers under this great
est evil, the colored race has been
and is the principal. Like slavery, it
must go. Let our people leave the
South till it feels their absence sore
ly and this will put an end to white
supremacy" quicker than anything
else. The white South does not like
work, especially in the hot sun. Send
it into the fields and you will cure it.
We rejoice in the fact that the ordi-
nary colored man is solving his own
problem. go to it," and free your

DR.. H. Franklin Bray and his party
of spirit baptised gospel workers ar

and on Sunday morning, March 4th,
began battle against sin in Mt. Zion
Baptist Church with all the Churches
and pastors united for the fight. Four
souls have accepted Christ and only
three services have been held. Great
throngs are at each service and there
is every indication that the entire city
will be stirred and scores saved. Ev-
cry member of the party is a power
for God. DIR. Bray's sermons are con-
vincing, logical and unanswerable and,
accompanied by the Holy Spirit. Nine.
Sara Hammett is the greatest last gos-
pei singer of herrace and gives forth
the gospel in song with such great
power that men and women weep and
rejoice and surrender to Jesus Christ.
Nine. Leone B. Bray of Fisk Univer-
sity has just been added to the party
and is easily one of the greatest plan
lists and soprano soloists the race has
yet produced. All Galena is rejoicing
because of the presence of these peo-
pie of God and the armies are assem-
bling from the four quarters of the
city for the battle. Keep your ear to

come to pass these days in Galena.

NEGRO CLERGYMAN
PREDICTS DESTRUC-
TION OF CITIES

Cincinnati, Ohio, March 1.-Rev.
Andrew Jones, known as prophet
Jones" who for the last 80 years has
been visiting the various Negro
churches in the country, startling his
audiences with predictions of wars.
catastrophes, pestlences and famine,
is holding services at Metropolitan
Baptist church, Ninth and Cutter
streets, this week.
According to his story, Rev. Mr..
Jones was born a slave in Cumber-
land county, Virgania, GA years ago.
At an early age, he says, he heard
the call of the pulpit and answered
it. He is credited with having fore
told many notable events. In 1886
he prophesied the Charleston earth
quake, in 1889 the Johnstown flood
and in 1896 the st. Louis cyclone. He
claims to have foretold the assassina-
tion Of President Mckinley two years
before it took place and to have warm
ed of the present war and high prices
in 1904
Rev. Mr. Jones says the cities Of
Kansas City, Chicago, Boston and
New York are doomed to destruction.
He predicts years more of trouble
and tribulation for the United States.
Rev. Mr.. Jones will leave Cincin-
natl for st. Louis early next week.
