—The negro has been snubbed again
in Yankeedom, and this time where he
feels it most keenly. At Springfield,
Ill., the home of Abraham Lincoln, the
Lincoln Centennial Association has
been formed and an elaborate pro
gramme formulated for celebrating the
one hundredth anniversary of the birth
of Lincoln, Feb. 12. But in the pro
gramme there is no recognition of the
negroes. They are completely ignored
in all the exercises. Now the Spring-
field Law and Order League, an organ
ization of negroes, has met and adopted
resolutions severely condemning the
Lincoln Centennial Association for ex
cluding negroes from the celebration,
and the negroes declare that they will
hold a celebration of their own.- Alba
