EASTER MONDAY
DANCE WAS THE
USUAL SUCCESS

The Annual Easter Monday Dance
which was given at the Ferris Hotel
IN Monday evening last by the
Ladies' Guild OF st. Thomas Epis-
copal church, was well attended and
thoroughly enjoyed.
Although the dance was very sue
cessful from a social standpoint 1t
was not as successful from a financial
standpoint as have been many Of the
dances heretofore. This was per-
haps due to the fact that another
dance was In progress In the city the
same evening. However, the ladies
state that they made considerable
money from the affair wen though
not as much as they expected to
make.

BIG GASSER IS

However, an opinion voiced here

essential to successful development.
That capital is essential is indicat-
ed by the estimate of $1,5OO.0OO. or

MORE RACIAL ANTIPATHY.

They are now talking about enact1ng
another miscegenation bill in this legls
lature. We do not see that it concerns
any Negro in this State and the only
regrettable part of the whole affair IS
that it will tend to undo much OF the
work Of the inter-racial committee,
which is seeking to bring about bet
ter relationship between the races.
The politicians will indulge in much
talk, which had better be left unsaid'
No person living can improve upon
the present laws upon the statute
books of Virginia Every well-thinking
colored person, who understands exist
ing conditions wants the line Of racial
demarcation to remain. They want the
white man to shin on his side" of the
line and they will do the same thing
on their side. This mulatto question
outside of wedlock is causing untold
trouble and embarrassment.
Conductors on our railway trains
are puzzled and so are the mulattoes.
They do not know where to go or
where to sit. They are forced from
first one side of the line to the other.
So far as we are concerned, we do not
care with what laws they cucumber
the statute books, when nature de-
crees a union, the damage is done de-
spite all of the legislation enacted
since Adam and Eve were driven out
of the Garden of Eden or since the
time Darwin found out as he believed
that all of us descended from family
of monkeys. So there ye are.

COLD COMFORT.

The action of President Calvin Cool
idge in referring the petition launched
by the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, to the
War Department. which petition was
signed by more than one hundred
thousand colored and white citizens
seems to as to be an indication that
there is long fight ahead to secure
the release OF these innocent men OF
the oath and 25th Infantry. 1t is one
of the few tragedies that take place
during a century and is closely akin to
the Dreyfus case in France.
If released, these men will not be
given "a clean bill of health" but will
be accorded clemency in the commits.

should go on until the records of the
men worthy of recognition have been

ed a continent and called it theirs in
the name of the Holy Trinity, by au
thority of the keeper of the keys 81
heaven and Of the great grantor OF
the empire and domain of earth? WHAT
would have become of our nationa-
titles to northeastern and northwes'
ern boundaries, but for the plea OF
this authority, valid OF old among al
Christian Powers?
Could language be richer in mag
ery and rhetoric or truer and more en-
rhatic in historical assertions? We be-
eve not. Then follows other COM
mont:
Following the discovery and the pos
session of the country by foreigners,
in virtue of Catholic majesty, came the
settlement of the country by force
and constraint of religious intolerance
and persecution. Puritans, ,Huguenots
Cavaliers. Catholics, Quakers, al
came to Western wilds, each in turn
prosecuted and prosecuting for opin-
ions sake. Oppression of opinion was
the most odious OF the denominations Oh
the Old Worlds despotism-its only
glory and grace is that it made thous-
ands of martyrs. 1t deluged every coun
try and tainted the air of every cline
and stained the robes Of righteousness
of every sect with blood, with the
blood of every human sacrifice, which
was honest and earnest in its falth'
the hypocrites and kinds of profession
alone escaping the swords or the
flames of persecution. The colonies
were B'hckened by the burnings OF the
stake and were died red with the
blood of intolerance. The American
revolution made new era OF liberty
to dawn-the era of the liberty OF con
science. If there is any essence IN
Americanism the very salt wherewlth
it is savored it is the freedom of opln
ion and the liberty of conscience. IL
Is it now proposed that we
shall go back to the deeds
of the dark ages Of despotism? That
this broad land. still unoccupie N
more than half of its irgin soil shall
no longer be an asylum for the Cypress
ed? That here, as elsewhere, and again
as of old, men shall be burtnened Dy
their births and chained for their eptu
ions? I trust that design OF that IN
tent will remain a secret buried fCr'
ever.
