FEELSDEMOCRACY

Color Problem Is Spiritual One,
Hub Man Tells Amity
! Convention.

SO far as the racial problem Is con
cerned, II can be solved by the spir-
itual conception OF democracy Is the
verdict reached by the convention for
amity between the colored and white
races, which has just concluded a
three-day session at the CongreEa-
tional Church. Tenth and G streets
northwest, under the auspices Of ed
ucators and leaders prominent in both
races. f
w. II. Randall, of Boston. sounded
the keynote OF the convention when
he declared that the problem before
the convention was spiritual one.
TELLS OF SETTLED QUESTIONS.
"Sixty or seventy years ago" he
said. ''the public meetings in the
United States were discussing slavery,
but, thank God, that question has been
settled. We have recently been agi-
tsted to solve the problem of political
freedom. and now that question is
settled but today the most important
probiem-and the only way that the
peace Of the world can be established,
Is through the harmony and good will
OF the human family and the coming
together OF all races.
1--WE have the advantages OF Amer
ica's free Institutions, of free educa-
tion, Of equal opportunities. Think
what the people OF central Europe
suffer, and yet we live as a nation at
peace" s r..
Alfred w. Martin, a leading spirit
IN the New York Society for Ethical
Culture. addressed the convention on
the new conception OF International
ism and its spirit factors. He traced
the growth OF internationalism from
the Eighteenth century. and deplore>l
the practice Of comparing America to
a melting pot. saying that VI should
be considered collection of races
making up an integral whole.
att is for the whites of the North
and South to open the gates OF op-
portunity to the backward colored
reople." Martin told the convention.
And colored people must serve as mis-
sionaries to those whites who are
their moral interiors. whites who are
~i-tir'-s1 nv prejndice to such a de
gree that they can't see the poten-
l.anties behind a dark skin"
One OF the most interesting speak
ers at the convention was Mrs. Coralie
r. Cook, who sketched the beginning
and development OF poetry among the
colored people of the United States.
She spoke Of the genius OF an African
slave girl who published a volume
Of verse In the Eighteenth century.
CITES VERSE WRITER'S.
Taking up labor songs and spirit
usls and recreation melodies composed
by slaves, she followed the theme
through Dunbar, Braithewait. and the
Johnsons up to the present time. Mrs.
Cook also mentioned the verse writers
Of today In Washington. who chsl-
lenge Admiration.
She also pointed to the develop
ment of race consciousness In this
interesting group OF writer's. Mrs.
Cook showed their wonderful gifts
~ the spirit, their humor. chivalry,
pnd unselfish patriotism.
Perhaps the most original OF the
contributions TO the convention came
from Louis G. Gregory. who said in
opening his address: "The white and
colored are one in origin and In des-
tiny, for from God we came and to
God we return. IL IL for US to con-
slider. In q way that is practical, how

nHave a Toeth p

In the Fiji islands a polished ivory
tambu, or whales tooth is symbol of
chleftainship, and extremely valuable,
as any request backed by an exhibit
tlon Of a tambu is theoretically
bound to be granted. Thus, If a Fijian
headman wishes to marry a neighbor-
ing chiefs daughter, he sends a mes
senger first with the precious tambu,
supposing him to possess one. Neither
the girl nor her father has then any
further choice in the matter. The
wedding has got to be. These OBJ
jects, as may well be imagined, are
jealously guarded by their fortunate
possessors; and any Fijian, If well
enough off, win purchase one from a
foreigner for a large sum. The ma
tives never, or at least very rarely,
can be induced to sell their tambus.
Tactful district commissioners FIRE.
uuently follow the Fijian custom, and
when asking for hospitality on their
tours in the interior, send a whales
tooth with their messenger.

to strike her pink, and. the iron re-
straint Of long, hard, exciting day be-
ing relaxed at last, the good soul
bowed her gray head in her arms and
wept, moving her body from side to
side the while and demanding of no
one in particular, a single legitimate
reason why she, a blooming old bag
gage and not fit to live, should be the
recipient of such manifold blessings
as this day had brought forth.
In the meantime Ricardo, with his
hand on the knob Of the door leading
to the room where Webster was having
his wounds dressed, paused suddenly
his attention caught by the sound Of a
sob, long-drawn and inexpressibly pa
thetic. He listened and made up his
mind that a woman in the room across
the entrance hall was bewailing the
death of a loved one who answered to
the name of Caliph and John, darling.
Further eavesdropping convinced him
that Caliph. John, darling, and Mr..
John Stuart Webster were one and the
same person, and so he tilted his head
on one side like cock robin and con-
sidered.
"By jingo, that's most interesting" /"
he decided. "The wounded hero has
a sweetheart or a wife-and an Amer
lean, too. She must be a recent ac-
QUESTION. because all the time we were
together on the steamer coming down
here he never spoke Of either, despite
the fact that we got friendly enough
for such condolences. Something fun
ny about this. I'd better sound the old
boy before start passing out words
Of comfort to thar unhappy female"
He passed. on into the room. John
Stuart Webster had, by this time, been
washed and bandaged, and one of the
Sarros servants (for the ex-dictator's
retinue still occupied the palace) had,
at DIR. Pacheco's command, prepared a
guest chamber upstairs and furnished
a night gown Of ample proportions to
cover Mr.. Webster's bebandaged but
otherwise naked person. A stretcher
had just arrived, and the wounded man
was about to be carried upstairs The

He closed his eyes, feeling instinc-
lively that he ought not spy on such a
sacred family scene. When, however,
the affecting meeting was over and Do
lores was ruffling the Websterian fore
top while her brother pressed the Web
sterian hand and tried to say all the
things he felt, but couldn't express,
John Stuart Webster brought them
both back to realization Of present

pathetic imitation of the small boy Of

His head rolled weakly to one side.
for he had been playing a part and
had nerved himself to finish it grace
fully, even in his weakened condition.
He sighed, moaned slightly, and
slipped into Inconsistencies.
