A REMINDER THAT THE
WORLD rs BETTER

In view of the debate constantly GO
ing on as to whether the world is
better than it was in our grandparents
time it is we'll to have our attention
strikingly directed from time to time
to some Of the great reforms that have
been effected during the lifetime of
our grandsires. The case of Negro
woman who was found starving and
exhausted on the streets of New York
City, Wednesday, serves to do so. The
police found on investigation that she
was formerly slave, the property of
Virginia gentleman.
1t seems scarcely credible that with
in the lifetime of people still living,
human beings were held as chattels in
the United States like horses, cattle
and other livestock, and were bought
and sold just as if they were domestic
animals. Yet here is this aged woman
in New York, who in her childhood
occupied that status herself.
It is almost impossible to believe
that the United States, founded on the
principle that ali men are created equal
and that liberty is an inalienable right,
not only did not interfere, up until
Lincoln's time, with slave holding, but
actually helped to force fugitive slaves
back into state of bondage.
In all America there probably is not
one man Of standing today who would
have the hardihood publicly to defend
slavery and recommend its restoration
It is not amazing that seventy-6ve
years ago the citizens Of the South
were almost solidly in favor of IT and
that numerous Northerners endorsed

MISSOURI NEGRO SOLDIER
MEMORIAL

Washington.-A meeting in the in

erect memorial building to colored
soldiers, on the campus of Lincoln
University, Jefferson City, Mo-, was
recently held at Hannibal, Missouri.
Lincoln Institute was founded in
1866 by colored veterans of the Civil
War, and was created a university by
the general assembly Of Missouri I'M
der the administration of Governor
Arthur Hyde, largely through the
work Of Walthall Moore, a colored
member of the house from St. Louis
For many years the colored people
have looked forward to a memorial
building on the campus of the univer-

colored soldiers of the State. The
present movement seeks to erect a
