? - We read that Esau took his
wives from amongThe daughters
of Canaan. Esau's name was
Friom which means red. What
relation is the American Indian
to the children of Esau??C. B.
Z, F., Rupert, Idaho.
None.?The children oT^-Ganaan
were of African descent
and it was among them,that Esau
chose his wives. The term
"edom" has no relation whatever
to American Indians. Theorigin
of the Indian has never
, been solved^-* . . '
Who were tnfe Children of-Ammon??G.

The children of Ammon were
those who worshipped Ammon,
the god of Egypt. They were
originally African, but the wor

Is it true that Franee. desires
to bar Africans from her conu
try??W. P. U., Washington^ Di
C. . '
No. There has been a little
agitation against alljjorts of immigration
due to the fact that
the French labor market is
not directed against any one
race or people, it was merely to
protect the native Frenchmen
and their labor. - No Such thing
as a bar to Africans exists.
