DES MOINES IOWA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1908.
SPRINGFIELD TRAGEDY
Again our boasted modern civilization has made a blot upon her intelligence by committing the grossest inhuman butchery and most heathen crimes ever perpetrated among socalled civilized men. Yet this most shocking killing and butchering took place in Springfield, the very heart of Illinois capital, in the shadow of Abraham Lincoln's monument, in hearing and in sight of the Governor of this commonwealth, and for two days and nights this drucken, heaten, ignorant, rowdy element overridden all law and order, and went anywhere shooting killing and lynching innocent men and women because they happen to be black, and still destroying their property which was the accumulation of half a century. As the result of this riot more than 8 are dead and 80 wounded, and fully 1,500 people are homeless and penitile. All of this was done upon innocent colored people.
We believe like Governor Deneen, who says, "this outbrake upon innocent colored people is an intolerable as it is inexhaustible." It is indeed a most atrocious crime and every man or woman who participated should be severely delt with. The time has come in this country of ours that the Negro race must unite ourselves to assist the lawbinding citizen to quell, suppress and stop such feindish outbreaks as those of Springfield, Atlanta and Evansville. We as a race must not be so afraid, but be prepared to protect ourselves and our homes. When these brutes come to your home let him destroy your home over your dead body. Be brave, protect yourself; the world likes a brave man and abhor a coward—so don't run like a rabbit at everything, but defend yourselves.
MOB VIOLENGE DEPLOR
That mob violence, bayonets and bullets will never solve the race problem is the opinion of Rev. J. Cornelius Reid, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church, who in a sermon last evening discussed at length the racial troubles at Springfield, Ill. "Let right prevail, uphold law and order, and the Negro problem will take care of itself," was the theme of his sermon. The preacher said in part:
"The city of Springfield, Ill., now takes its turn in furnishing the world with a new and bloody chapter and mob cowardice and race hate. The parallel comparison of the Atlanta riot and the Springfield mob reveals the same spirit; reason dithered, sane minds rendered incompetent, peaceful and harmonious relationship becomes a farce, religion a dream, the ties of brotherhood an echo, the power of education as a civilizer a thing of contempt, all because of the usual crime."
'The burning of homes, beating and killing of innocent people, is an evidence that all who were in the pathway of the mob, whether Negroes or protectors of law and order, were accessories after the fact to the usual crime.' The psychology of a mob of supposed rational beings is hard to determine. Can it be that this uncontrollable thirst for human blood comes from an honest desire to mete retribution to the offender regardless of race, because of such a crime? Or is it an inherent hatred of a dispicable race that is trying to claim all the rights of full manhood? The mob's indiscriminate action toward innocent Negroes will not in reality intimidate them, but will make the problem more intricate in its solution.
'The American Negro possesses the same progressive spirit, alertness of mind, keenness of observation, braveness of heart, inate power of resentment of a wrong, as the American white man, and justice alone can harmonize these similar forces. The
racial situation does not present a dark aspect; all that is necessary is for the majesty of the law to be upheld by those in authority. Duty, must be the watchword. It is useless to attempt to reason with a mob of frenzied men—a determination to conquer, if need be, with bayonets and bullets in the hands of authorized agents of the law is the most effective solution of mob violence.
"There are thousands of white men whose hearts beat as true as steel to the administration of justice and right, and the gravity of no crime committed by a human being can upset their reason. Gov. Deneen, Mr. Chaffin; Mr. Loper and the worthy sheriff are the type of men all oppressed citizens should look to for protection. There will be no retaliation from the Negroes as long as such men exist unless manhood be outraged to the most extreme limit of human patience.
"The eye that never sleeps is watching. It is divinely written that wrong shall not always triumph over right. The homes of innocent colored people of America are constantly in jeopardy. The mob spirit is not confined to any special state. There can be no peace of mind among Negroes knowing that racial hate is robbed them of protection. Negroes must be protected, but first the Negro should learn to protect himself in time of danger. If the Negroes of Springfield had remained in their homes, defending them as best they could against a mad mob, and even suffered their bodies to be burned in ashes with their homes, instead of 'taking to the woods,' brave, modest and loyal white men would have applauded them and even died for such manifested courage. True sympathy cannot be extended to a coward. The Negro must prove his metal, and he cannot do it by cringing before a mob. It is the innocent Negro who is most concerned relative to to the acts of a freazied mob."—Sioux City Journal.

For generations untold the Igorotes have lived in their simple tribal life, untouched by outside culture, and are today as wild as weeds. Fierce hunters of human heads and constantly at wars with their neighbors in surrounding towns, they are true children of nature. They are of Malay origin, and superb-physiiques which their scant attire displays to fine advantage. The village will be completed with all the various types of houses, and all their crude industries will be in operation. There will be a spirited exhibition of their war dances, tribal songs, spear throwing, mock battles, and other sports and pastimes. The village comes to Des Moines with the highest endorsement of the press where it has been shown, as well as of exposition and public officials, and is an educational exhibit of so high a character that every man, woman and child should visit it and learn at close hand of one of the hundreds of problems which the Spanish-American war laid on our shoulders.

A Faithful Friend
I have used Chamberlain's Collo Coultera and Diarrhoea Remedy since it was first introduced to the public in 1872, and have never found one instance where a cure was not speedily effected by its use. I have been a commercial traveler for eighteen years, and never start out on a trip without this, my faithful friend," says H. S. Nichols of Oakland, Ind Ter. When a man has used a remedy for thirty-five years he knows its value and is competent to speak of it. Eor sale by all druggists.
Citron Tree and the Bible. Was the citron tree the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden? Some persons think it was. In any event it appears that "citron" would often be the right rendering in passages where the authorizes woman of the Bible gives "For instance in the Proverbs. "A word silk spoken is like piles of gold in pictures of silver." And in the Song of Solomon. "As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons." And again. "Stay me with dagons, comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love."

MPROVED FORM OF INCUBATOR.

‘An electrig incubhtor has beon {a-
troduced {n Europe, the operation ot

resulta than other methods, for. the
reason that it 1s capable of finer ad-

lon fu controlled by opening to a varl-
able extent the: lateral slides fixed at
the top of the apparatus. It should be
rememibered that ventilation plays the
tole of maintaining the Ute of the

alr, therefore, 1s extremely valuable
for the development of the germ, any
excess of ventilation will prove detri-

of the eggs. In this Incubator the

HAVE SURPLUS OF FURNITURE.
Welter Criticlees Modern Methods of
‘House Adornment.
Most people have far too much fur
nlture In thelr houses, and certainly
the majority indulge in too much tet
le fabric. Too many curtains, tod
many antimacassars, too many mats
and cushions, sayw a writer in Good
Health. All those things collect and
hold dust, and curtains shut out fresh
‘alr and sunshiné. Carpets, expectaly
im the rooms we sleep In, 1 would
abollsh.
‘The bedropm carpet Is a snare, and
the sooner It makes its final exit the
better for the family health. ‘That
reat artist and critic, William Mor
rls, once said: “Haye nothing in your
house that you do not know to be use
ful or believe to be beautiful. This
{fs counsel many women might take tc
heart, thereby making thelr homes
more bewutiful, and undoubtedly far
casler to keep clean and orderly.”

nothing that comes to us by the grace

of us and the worst of us, and who can

How Coal Grows.
