New Seminary

"The new seminary that is to be erect ed at Edgewood will be one of the best of Birminghams new assets" said Ray Schultz. 'The quality of the new school will attract to the Magic City many young women who now go out of the state to attend college I do not doubt that the Birmingham seminary will soon be one of the leaders in the south. With the modern buildings and equipment and the highly trained faculty the school, under Miss Hattie Morton as principal, will certainly make great progress and mean much to Birmingham.

TRAVESTY ON CONSISTENCY

There is no doubt but that the verdict and
the punishment meeted out to the rlotous
members of the Twenty fourth Infantry by
the court martial that heard the case were
in keeping with the law and the evidence
in the case. as there could be no denial on
the part of the soldiers of the charge They
did get their arms and they did shoot up
Houston, Texas, and in doing so killed and
wounded number of white persons, and
they did do so to retaliate on the white
citizens Of that town, for at divers times
offering insults to them and often actually
abusing them; and the law says persons
guilty of such offenses shall be hung by the
neck until dead The conditions that moved
those men, thirteen of whom were hung last
Wednesday and forty-one sent to prison for
life, to commit that crime against the laws
of the land should have at least entered into
the consideration of the case, and though
guilty they should have been given prison
terms rather than the death punishment,
and this conclusion is reached not by rea-
soning from the view point of a colored
man, but from the view point Of fair play.
Those colored soldiers did no more and not
a hundredth part as much as would have
white soldiers done under similar circum-
stances For example, suppose the citizens of
Tacoma should abuse and arrest the soldiers
dC Cdmp Lewis duU Ill SIIOIC CIcdC Cucm DIS
did the white citizens of Houston the col
ored soldiers stationed near that city, Gen.
Irons to the contrary Notwithstanding, the
Camp Lewis soldiers would burn Tacoma up
and the rest Of the country would shout,
Amen! while they were doing So Two
wrongs, we admit, never make one right,
but circumstances should always alter cases,
and those men having been sorely provoked
to desperation in which they found them
selves on that fatal occasion, their state Of
mind should have played part in the
punishment awarded. Wherever the colored
soldiers are stationed they are always SUBJ
jected to all the insults and humiliations
that the white citizens care to impose upon
them and they are commanded by their
superior officers to take it without resent
ment, but human nature can stand thing
just so long, when it will rise up and de-
fend itself, just as did those soldiers at
Houston. Those men did not mutiny, but
they did resent the accumulated insults that
had from time to time been imposed upon
them, and what fair minded man could
blame them The uniform of the United
States of North America, if worn by white
man, is respected by all citizens of this
country, but if worn by black it is a
signal for any kind Of insult the white
citizens are inclined to heap upon it. But

BECKY IS THE GOAT

History will repeat itself, as may be seen
in Seattle's recent cry for moral renova-
ton, which thus far has only resulted in
making a goat of the chief of the police.
About eighteen years ago Seattle under
went moral renovation even more violent
than the present one and the rotten mayor

which deserved life terms in the peniten.
tiary for the part each and every one of
them played in the criminal modus proceed
ure, but the whole affair was compromised
by making a goat Of the chief Of the po-
lice-Billie Meredith-who became so in
censed at the trea atment handed out to him
by the mayor and his henchmen, that he
went out on a man hunt for any of those
who were instrumental in his downfall,
which resulted in him losing his own life.
Now, Chief Rockingham has been made the
goat Of the Gill administration just as was
Meredith of the Humes administration,
but lets hope history will not further re-
peat itself, and Rockingham lose his life
trying to retaliate on his enemies The
moral condition Of this city has simply been

Chauncey Wright, without doubt the most

family and friends mourn almost without
comfort his untimely Demise "In the midst
Of life we are in DEATH" wrote an ancient
philosopher and that truly was the case of
Chauncey Wright, who suddenly died while
in the very hey day Of life. After casting
about, Chauncey Wright found his calling
and he proceeded to push it to perfection.
In Seattle he was the restaurant king and
the string Of magnificent eating houses that
he owned at the time Of his death and the
financial success each Of them was proving
to be, all demonstrated the assertion that he
was the king Of the business Emnently
successful men are the ones that we should
hold up for emulation and it matters not in
what line of business they made success
