now trying the silent parade" which
are all good and commendable as far
as they go; but they do not go far
enough. They do not cut deep enough,
for they neither touch the white mans
pocket-book nor our indulgence In
pleasure and In luxuries. 1t had been
said that money talks" II Is the

great outstanding truth that the one
thing that outranks money in the

Greater love hath no man than this,
that q man lay down his life for his
friends" II we do not love our breth-
rem In the bonds of race prejudice

bound with them" that 1t L. almost
sacrilege for us to go to shows and
otherwise frolic and have good
time" while II our symps TILES were
keen enough we could sense through
the pure free air that we breathe the
cdor of burning human flesh-flesh
that Is despised because Its outward
hue Is back, then we have not gone
to the uttermost In this matter. Be-
sides. the necessity for self.preserva-
ton should impel US to cave the
use of no weapon untried that may
be effective In winning this battle. It
is far away today. we think. But To-
morrow. II may be our b other, our

Washington. d. c., July 6.--George
Washington. the Father of his country,
not only drank rum and beer. but he
is now declared to have snapped some
of his slaves for barrels of rum and
kegs OF beer Senator Watson. of
Georgia, is the historian who has
brought these interesting charges
against the memory of the immortal
George. Mr.. Watson is one of the lit
erary lights OF the South. He has
the reputation of having written sew
eral authentic histories. At least, this
is what he Is accused of doing by his
Georgia admirers In other circles It
Is being whispered about that the
doughty and bellicose member from
the State of Georgia likes "a wee
bit" TO swallow on his own account.
and is slyly bolstering his weakness
in this direction by wickedly asserting
the one person in the history of the
country who could not tell a lie took

warrant for doing So The incident is
likely to cause a secession of Virginia
from Georgia. What II this dire thing
should happen. Let us hope there Is

DIR. CRANE DISCUSSES WORK OF
RACE SCULPTURES.
(By A. N. P.)

New York city. New York, July
DR.. Frank Crane has recently called
attention to the work of Miss May
Cramer, the noted sculptress and her
comment on why she chose a Negro
female figure for her heroic statue
symbolizing the New World. DR.. Crane
reports Miss Craemer as saying:
II believe that the most beautiful
women in the world, spiritually, and
physically. are to be found among the
Colored women In the southern states
of America. That Is why / chose the
figure Of a Negress to symbolic the
new world.
1T was the deep mystic beauty In
the eyes of the southern mammies'
that first attracted me in Virginia
There is more spirituality shining out
of the eyes of these Colored women
than can be found in any race Of
white women on the earth.
"The marvel to me is how the beau
ty of the Negress has for cerLuries
excaped artists and sculptors. She ie
more beautiful in face and form than
the white woman"

A WELL PLACED GIFT.

News dispatches OF last week
told of the gift to Dickson Orphan
age Of $4,000 by the Pythians Of
Texas and Of $4,000 by the Odd
Fellows. the latter representing only
a partial return from the various
lodges and Households Of the state
who contributed toward this fund
on their annual Thanksgiving Day.
These gifts which viii total we'll
over $4,000 represent the interest
in Texas orphan Negro children OF
these lodges. It is representative Of
their interest in the future Of the
citlzenry Of the state as far as the
unfortunate Of their own race are
concerned These gifts are evidence
Of real racial pride pride of the
substantial sort.
The work OF the Dickson Orphan
age is highly worthy of support. Its
care Of the Negro children of Texas
who are without parents Is highly
worth while in that 1t undertakes
the task OF educating and iitting
for citizenship those who oth srwise
would probably grow up as liabilities
rather than assets to the civilization
In which they live.
We in Texas should lose no OPP
portunlty for seeing to It that this
institution Is helped substantially in
doing Its work. Our dollars should
be in the majority rather than the
minority Of those contributed for
its maintenance and support
The gifts by these fraternities rep
resent q step in that direction which
may with profit be followed by
other organizations large and small
throughout the state May this
speedily come to pass.
The institution is worthy of sub
rtan5ial help. Our fraternities are
t5le to contribute. 1t is their duty
TO do 80.
