South figured very closely on to-
days hand, but he came to the
wrong conclusion.
The diamond five was opened.
When East failed to cover the jack,
South could see nine tricks-four
hearts, three spades, two diamonds
but no sure way of cashing them
all. He finally overlook the diamond
jack with the king, then took the
diamond ace and then led a heart.
East won the second round OF
hearts and led diamond, and West
next led through dummy's clubs.
Finally East threw dummy in with
a spade, and at the end East got
two more club tricks, defeating the
contract.
South would have had q better
chance If he had let the diamond
jack win. Then he should have led
a low heart from dummy. II East
held the heart ace-as he did
South could not fail to get into his
hand to cash another high diamond.
If West held the heart ace, South
would still have a chance to get
club or another diamond trick.

the lowly and despised slaves as
his equals, and that she should 60
out of his way to aid them, was an
almost unheard of occurrence. But
it was just like Kosciuszko. Who
else but a Kosciuszko would have
written letter like the following
to General Greene: Il recommend
to you two Negroes belinging to
L. c. Laurence Ca colonel of the
Revolutionary Army who had just
died) :. (. They are naked, and they
want shirts, jackets, breeches. Their
skin, as well as ours, can bear good
things"
Kosciuszko must have discussed
slavery with his close friend,
Thomas Jefferson, on many occa-
sions. Jefferson, also, was an ar
dent anti-slavery enthusiast. When
drawing up the Constitution, JEFF
ferson had attempted to include,
among others, the indictment that
George III, of England, had sup
pressed every attempt to restrain
this execrable commerce" and
therefore had waged a cruel war
against human nature itself, vioIat-
ing its most sacred rights in the
person of distant people who had
never offended him." This indict-
ment was voted out by the Southern
colonies and, unfortunately, was not
included in the Constitution.
1t was to Jefferson that he en-
trutsed the mission of carrying out
his testament. Congress, in recog-
milton of the splendid services
which KosciuSzko had rendered in
behalf Of the States, had granted
him a tract of some five hundred
acres of Franklin County, Ohio, the
present site of the City of Colum-
bus 1t was this tract to which he
referred in his testament, one of
the most remarkable documents in
history.
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1944-02-26

The name of Thaddeus Kosciusko
is linked with the American Rev
dictionary War. The services
which this Polish patriot rendered
to the American colonies in their
fight for freedom, have, as Thomas
Jefferson so we'll said, Rendered
him dear to this country as one of
our great Revolutionary Worthless"
1t is unfortunate, however, that
the illustrious record of Kosciusko
in the Revolutionary War has
caused some Of iii sequally illus
trious, but less well known deeds
to fall by the wayside. Among the
latter is the testament which he
wrote in 1898 when he was leaving
America for the last time. In it
he instructed Thomas Jefferson, one
Of his closest friends, to sell all of
his property in the United States
and to use the money therefrom to
buy some Negro slaves and give
them liberty, making due provision
for their education and general
welfare.
That Kosciusko should have es-
poised the cause Of emancipation
for the Negro is not at all surpris-
ing. In him Liberty and Freedom
had their most ardent champion
and defender. Oppression no mat
ter what the kind, or gainst whom
it was directed, found in him
courageous, self-sacrificing foe,
ready to defend the rights of the
oppressed, if needs be, with his
life. 1t was thus when he went
to America on borrowed funds to
help the colonies; it was thus when
he fought for his native Poland
against the tyranny of the Rus
sions; it was thus when he directed
that all his American possessions
be used in freeing men from sIav-
cry.
While serving in the Revolution
airy Army he had seen many slaves.
In both the northern and southern
colonies he had come into contact
with these fellow human beings
who had been deprived of their
privileges. He had read in the
newspapers notices of such as the
following:
i hereby authorize my friend,
Thomas Jefferson, to employ the
whole of my property in the United
States In purchasing Negroes and
giving them liberty in my name;
in giving them an education in
trade and otherwise; in having them

make them good neighbors, good
fathers and mothers, husbands and
wives, in their duty as citizens;
teaching them to be defenders of
their liberty and country, and of
the good order of society, and in
whatsoever may make them happy
and useful; and I make teh said
Thomas Jefferson my executor of
this. Thaddeus Kosciusko."
Here, some IS years before the
Emancipation Proclamation, we
have a man whose example might
we'll have been followed by other
men of his time. If it had, there
might never have been a Civil
War.
1t is unfortunate that a dispute
arose concerning the immediate ex-
ecusion of this testament. Legal
maneuvers of one sort or another
were designed to prevent its adj
ministration. Jefferson was grow
ing old and illness prevented him
from carrying out the terms Of the
legacy. 1t was not until 1926 that
the estate was finally settled and
the whole of it was used for found
ing one of the first educational in
stitutes for Negroes in the United
States, the Colored School at New
ark.
In its spirit and content this tes-
lament mirrors perfectly the man.
In the words of Thomas Jefferson
"Kosciusczko is as pure a son of
liberty as I have ever known, and
of that liberty which is to 60 to
all, and not to the few and rich
alone"
"A Negro wench about 80 and
her son about z years old, both
very healthy and remarkably stout
and strong. The wench is used to
all kinds of country work both in
door and out. The price is 1900 dol
lars" He had even witnessed the
sale of slaves, standing by helpless
ly, while his heart cried out in
protest at such actions.
These things bothered Koscius.

so that men might be free. Yet
here he was up against something
which he apparently could not de.
feat. In comparison to the problem
of the plight of the Negro slaves
all other problems seemed easy Of
solution.
Time and again he interceded or
behalf of Negro slaves. To those
about him this was something ex.
traordinary. That man of hi.
calibre and qualities. should regard

its myriad Of members from all
