SIS" Slave-Stealer

II has recently come to light that
a Florida practice of pre-Civil War
DAYS was the branding upon the hands
Of persons apprehended while endeav-
oring to free slaves by theft, of the in
itials IS. S."-meaning "Slave-Stealer."
One of the country's most famous
characters who suffered branding and
Imprisonment in Florida was Capt.
Jonathan Walker, white, who nearly
twenty years before the war, was
caught, tried and convicted as thief
IL the United States Federal Court at
Pensacola, for attempting to free
slaves BY theft and transportation to
free territory.
Thereafter, Capt. Walker was pill
loried, branded, and kept in solitary
confinement for a year. Following his
release. the S. S. ex-convict came
north and became one of the nations
leaders in the anti-slavery activities.
He deid in Muskegon County,
Mich. in 1873, and memory Of him
and his exploits is kept alive by the
annual visits of thousands who desire
to pay homage at the grave of the de-
ceased abolitionist. Indeed, Captain
Walker should be kept alive, too, in
our hearts, among those whom we
revere as saviours of the Union
through the abolition Of slavery.

Ante ellurn Stuff"


Every now and then a Negro, still
possessed with the ante-bellum spirit
will preach of the south as the ideal
home for the Negro, and that the
southern white man is the Negroes
best friend.
News comes from Memphis, Tenn,
that such type Of Negro, in address
ing a small audience of our group,
said, "The south is the natural home
Of the Negro, And the southern white
man has always been our best friend
Do our best friends lynch us?
Even if the climatic conditions OF
the south are best suited to the per
petuation Of the type of Negro 10
which this J. ]. Higgs seems to be
long, there are other conditions that
offset it. One is the animosity and
seeming hatred Of the southern white
man yclept best friend" of the Negro.
If the treatment we receive from the
Southern Nordic is an evidence OF
friendly feeling toward US, we might
fare better if he were less friendly.
There are two motives that might
prompt one Of our group to make such
statements, one is the honest-to-good-
ness feeling of the old style, ante
hellum Negro. whose soul has not
been purged of the belief that slavery
was not 50 bad after all, as 1t brought
the Negro from dark continent Of
Africa to the white mans civilization
u Christian America, to be enslaved
and burned at the stake, occasionally
The other motive must be to please
members of the Grand United Chris
ian order Of XXX. In other words,
n sell his birthright for a mess q
cottage Such men are the Judases
OF the IdSC'
This would-be organizer OF Re-
I;gious and Educational Bureau TOR the
Promotion of better feeling between
the races, urged his hearers to stop
prumbling and get to work; to lay
down undue suspicion and to respect
everybody" He tells US also to be
nolite to white folks, and God ana
nature will bless US" This may be
ethical admonition, but it is very I'M
practical. Passive submission has
been our failing too long, let us be up
and doing. He who would be tree
himself must strike and blow.
