WESTERN STATES PAY MANY
MILLIONS FOR COW FEED
Wisconsin's BIZ Is SIS, 100000, and
That of Minnesota $25,000,0OO.

Minnesota's dairy feed bill runs up
close to $25,O00000 year-if, indeed,
it does not go higher, Wisconsin's
bill for the same feeds runs to $28,
100000 or more.
This is not for what the cows eat,
but what the dairymen have to go out
side to get, what they do not grow
themselves. according to a bulletin
from the agricultural college OF Wis
consin.
This feed bill, it is pointed out in
the same bulletin, is caused by the
failure of farmers to grow their own
protein feeds.

Here, though, is the difference. The

Brooklyn, n. Y.-All arrangements
for holding the 18th Annual Meeting
Of the National Equal Rights League
to convene Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday Of next week in the Trinity
Baptist Church, Druid Hill avenue and
McMechen st., Baltimore, Rev Luke @.
Reynolds. pastor, were completed here
tonight at a conference of the Lea
CUES National Officers held at the
residence Of Rev. Thos. S. Harten, 443
Franklin avenue, the Leagues Nation
al Organizer.
This Annual Meeting i called as a
National Mass Race Convention for
Rights under the auspices Of the Lea
que that there may be concerted de-
Liberation on the races situation. The
desire is to bring about an open ma
tional assembly for a conscious get
ting-together Of the race in mind and
spirit for its rights and liberties. The
formal call issued BY the president,
Dr. WI a. Sinclair, declares the need
Of the race nationally meeting on its
own independent account to review
the situation as to its treatment and
reformulate united program of ma
jor wrongs and a united plan of ac-
ton for redress. Not only elected del
egates but individual race leaders and
workers are welcomed as such.
The conference decided that seq
regation, especially federal segregation
would be the paramount issue. The
conviction was general that the race
should there face the nation and the
administration on segregation BY the
Federal Government, under a Repub-
lican regime. The race il urged in
every community to hold send-off
mass meetings Of delegates on Mon
day night, October 5th, making it
United Race Rights Monday" or on
Sunday if more feasible.

Tn these days when the lure Of gold,
on the one hand, and the pyramided
prestige Of Anglo-Saxon blood, on the
other hand, potentially influence GER
tain blacks and certain whites, respec-
lively, to bend to the call of Discrim-
nation and Segregation in many of
the public school systems of the
United States, defying Constitutional
precepts and Christian brotherhood, it
may not be amiss to turn back to day
in the life Of the late Charles Sumner, Of
Massachusetts, United Stat Is Senator,
statesman, champion of Negro rights,
and hal ian citadel of Justid e.
2a 1ecember T. 1849 Mr.. Sumner
ann before the Supreme Court
aa achusetts, as counsel for Sarah
Roberts, a colored child FIVE years
old 7, BY her best friend had sued
thl C.E Of Boston for damages on
acc9urt Of refusal to receive her

stated bY Mr.. Sumner was; Can any

children entitled to the benefit Of

current, Mr.. Sumner said to the

His title child asks at your hands
her personal rights So doing she
calls openly upon you to decide a
question which concerns the personal
rights Of every colored child; which
concerns the fundamental principles
Of human rights; which concerns the
Christian character Of this community.
Such parties, and such interests, So
granted and varied, may justly chal-
lenge your most earnest attention"
In touching upon Summers remark
able logic in this particular case, his
biographer says Gin 1870: The free
dom from caste which characterizes
the schools Of the young states Of the
Northwest may be largely ascribed to
the influence Of this argument pre-
scented to the bench of judges in Mass
achusetts"
Charles Sumner, the truly great
Commoner, continued his argument Of
l849 with the following allegations
which it is well that you and |, amid
as we said before, the lure Of gold
and the pyramided prestige Of Anglo
Saxon blood, should we'll consider in
this modern age, when Discrimination
and Segregation are being cemented
into American life in way which
their proponents consider highly ethi-
cal.
Listen to Sumner, in 184o:
"As the State receives strength
from the unity and solidarity Of its
citizens. without distinction of class
so the school receives new strength
from the unity and solidarity of all
classes beneath its roof. In this way
the poor, the humble and the neglected
share not only the companionship Of
their more favored brethren. but en-
joy also the protection Of their presence
in drawing toward the, school a more
watchful superintendent. A degraded
or neglected class, if left to them
selves, win become more degraded or
neglected To him that hath shall
be given; and the world; true to these
words, turns from the poor and out
cast to the rich and fortunate. II

darkness.

Abraham Lincoln.
Every seasoned student of law
knows the difference between the form
and substance Of pleadings-of how
the former is merely a matter Of legal
poise and appearance; while the latter
goes to the heart Of the plea. Errors
in form may be easily corrected; but
errors in substance are usually fatal.
Vehement critics of both Race indi-
viduals and the Race as a whole,
both within and without its fold, NAV
be likened to a Court which is 50
incompetent that it regards form as
being more important than substance
and without exercising a discerning
eye to detect the good that lies within
men and races, with one ignorant de-
cision condemns, because of its rough
exterior surface, some hidden virtue
which, day by day, IS stimulating the
souls Of men.
Thus, John Smith, newer Of wood
and drawer Of water, rough and
ready, but devotee Of ardent Chris
tan service, is frequently exiled BY
proponents of one-day Christianity,
whose breasts swell with surging
prayer and praise on Sunday, but
whose lives on Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, yield an exhaust Of unkind-
ness, criticism, and hypocrisy, relying
upon form, not substance, for their
virtuous and exemplary existence:
while Honest John tolls on with phys
lcal and moral endurance, unbreakable
through the seven-day week. Form
is the stimulant Of the mob spirit; the
"confession-word" Of its victim; the
measure BY which prejudice points To
color as a mark Of inferiority or sui
Periority; and Form is the internal
weapon which we use in offense to
condemn rather than to discern the
good that within men lies.
It is no less important that the
substance Of Race should be the fac
tor by which the world judges its
greatness and its goodness than it i
that within the Race itself We should
be liberal with our counterparts. and
look through the form to the sub
stance in an honest endeavor to dis
Germ those Christian virtues and ele-
ments Of service which bespeak Peace.
Charity, Humility, and Respect; for
what could be more just than that if a
man seek Equity, he shall do Equity;

tant case. have occupied much of
your time, but I have not yet ex-
hausted the topics.
Still, which way soever we turn.
we are brought back to one single
proposition, the equality Of men before
the law. This stands as the mighty
guardian of the rights of the colored
children in this case It is the con-
slant, ever present tutelary genius of
this Commonwealth, frowning upon
every privilege OF birth, upon every
institution Of caste You cannot slight
it or avoid it; you cannot restrain it,
1t remains that you should welcome
it. Do this and your words will be a
charter and freehold of rejoicing to a
race which has earned by much suf-
fering a title to much regard. Your
judgment will become a sacred land
mark, not in jurisprudence only, but
in the history Of freedom, giving pre-
cious encouragement to all the weary
and heavy laden wayfarers in this
great cause Massachusetts will then
through you have a fresh title to re-
gard and be once more, as in times
past, an example to the whole land.
Thus spoke Charles Sumner in 1849.

day?
