THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE THE KU KLUX KLAN AN INDICTMENT AGAINST AMERICAN CIVILIZATION. Eternal Truths vs Ku Klux Klan—Shall Civilization Live or Shall the Invisible Empire? The organization known as the Ku Klux Klan recently organized in the State of Georgia, and which now for various reasons is attracting the attention of the general public, stands as one of the Greatest Indictments against American Civilization, and the practice of those attributes of civilization in the United States that the world has ever been called to gaze upon and ponder. A relic of an institution bred out of a spirit of rancid racial hatred it in itself has no other purpose than that of by more sinister cryptic propaganda spreading broadcast over the entire country that which its mother institution failed to accomplish in the Southlands, the total terrorizing of the Negro to the end that his progress might be absolutely arrested. American civilization both by tradition and law assures to all men absolute security from those methods of government that characterize a savage state, yet the Ku Klux Klan daily resorts to personal violence, arson, intimidation, murder and if its every act was placed before the reading public perhaps Rape to further its detrimental aim. American Civilization stands upon the pinnacle of world progress and procams the sublime principles of Democracy while the Ku Klux Klan by a selective process obtains its members who pledge themselves to maintain by cryptic forces boasted superiority of a single race out of America's cosmopolitan whole. American Civilization on its hallowed sheets of the Federal Constitution fixes the letter and spirit of citizens and their treasured institutions while the Kan in the dark hours of night steals away to its secret dives, and with masked men sets up proclamations of crime to be committed against peaceful men for no other reason than that they are progressive under the established order of things regulated in accord with the edicts of time-honored courts. American civilization through its countless churches, colleges, schools, and Libraries declares itself as striving, to inculcate those high ideas which will make for morality among all races while the Klan proclaims itself as the knight errant to defend the virtue of the women of one distinct race. Amercian civilization through its centers of religion, arts, refinement and culture declares for lofty ideas based upon the great fundamentals of Liberty, Justice and Equality before the eternal laws of the land while the Klan asserts itself as the fostering spirit of a determined Americanism, backing its assertions by acts criminal in every aspect against a race as yet too noble in its aspirations to retaliate. American civilization with the employment of all its moral agencies has not been able to check the encroachment of the base sexual tendencies of the white race upon the black race as is attested by the complexion of the black race in America, and yet the Klan proclaims itself as the great moral force born in the dark but to baze forth in all the glory of a noonday run lighting the path of honor and virtue to the glorious end that a new spirit of chivalrous defence of womanhood in America may dazzle the world. American civilization declares itself through its various channels of law and order; its well determined solution of social, political, and economical problems; it's established civil government which has blossomed forth from virgin principles that have been nurtured by the blood of countless heroes both white and black, as being able to maintain a reliable form of government stable in its every act and purpose based upon the essentials of an absolute Democracy firmly entrenched against Socialististic upheaval. Bolshevic insurrection, and anarchic conflation but over night within the limits of its bounds is born a body of men who by their every movement, strive to usher in a situation which must eventually lead to racial misunderstanding that may place the very life of American civilization at stake. The Ku Kux Klan is an indictment of American Civilization on from every point of view, and if the Klan is in the most minutiae respect essential to the wider development or progressive trend of Americanism than American Civilization has been a gigantic failure, and this the Colored American inspiro of' the defects which he has found woven in the fabric of the government which he loyally supports is not yet ready to admit. Not because of the unfair fight which it makes against a weaker race nor yet because it is but a stop behind the darkest days of Russia's persecution of the Jews, Turkey's assault upon on the Armenians, Germany's policy in Belgium, The Klan should and will be crushed because it is unfair indictment of every principle advocated by the Eternal Truths of American Civilization. The Colored citizen of America has lived through the dark shadows and terrific storm that marked the period of one Ku Klux Klan's unsuccessful progress and emerged from the storm center strengthened by its terrors to achieve greater victories along all lines of progress and he will live on to see the death and burial of the present day Klan if not by the forces of American Civilization by the forces of the awakened, moral sentiment of the World. The eyes of the World Disarmament and pondering upon the course America will assume against the disarmament of the armed force of the Invisible Empire within her bounds. The great question of the present day advanced by the Ku Klux Klan is "Can an Invisible Empire with fixed laws and customs with armed forces to carry out the edicts of its legislative council, exist within the bounds of a republic challenging the world with its marks of a higher civilization, and can the indictment of such an Invisible Empire stand with the approval of the republic."

Services were very good on last Sunday; the Rev. seemed to have been at his best. Our Sunday School Work is in fine shape, Bro. A. Washington, Supt., still has the rope of recuperation and says that he will not stop until the hill of success is topped. We have an enrollment 137 pupils and are looking for more. In explaining the cause of the Apostle Paul writing to the church at Corinth, and that was, that contention had ails in the church, we got avision and saw ourselves of today in the same shape, and attempted to make known the need of love's kindness, love's contentment, love's humility, love's faith, love's hope, love's endurance, and the things that cause us as Christians to fill. At the close of the losson, our pastor introduced Mrs. Fleming of Watts, Calif., who lectured to us; and say it was timely is paying the least. Mrs. Fleming will speak for us Thursday night at St. Mary Baptist Church. Come out and hear her. At 11:30 a.m., our minister, Rev. J. E. Douglas, delivered a sermon to us from John 14:2-3; "I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also" All seemed to have enjoyed the service. At 6 o'clock, Bro. E. L. Newton, President of the B. Y. P. U., was on hand; a splendid session was enjoyed. The subject of the evening being: "Biblcl—Saving Power of The Word." The value of God's word seemed to have been the leading feature. Bro. Newton has worked very hard to build up the Union and how he has succeeded is found by attending, to soon for yourself, the interest. It is growing trees high, over there. After the Union, a song was sung WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Oct. 21, 1921. Atty. Scott is at the Rooft of Tulsa Riot. By The Negro Associated Press TULSA, OKLA. Oct. 21—Elisha Scott of Topka, Kansas, one of the attorneys retained by the Tulsa riot victims, has a signed affidavit in his possession that when produced will throw an entirely new light on the insurrection carefully planned by the whits here on May 31 last. It is the confession of a former Tulsa, policeman, Van B. Hurley (white) and consists of 21 pages. Hurley, who was honorably discharged from the force and given splendid recommendations by his captains and lieutenants, names several prominent city officials who has declared mit in a downtown office and carefully planned the attack on the segregated district by the use of airplanes. He gives in detail a description of the conference between local aviators and the officials. After this meeting Hurley asserted the airplanes darted out from hangers and hovered over the district dropping n troglucerine on buildings, setting them afire. When questioned regarding instructions from police officials shortly before the riot, his answer was as follows: "They gave instructions for every man to be ready and on the altrt and if the niggers wanted to start anything to be ready for them. They never put forth any efforts at all to prevent it what, ver, and said if they started anything to kill every d... son of a b... they could find." Gustafson, who was chief of police at the time, was later dismissed. "On the morning of June 1, they gave me orders to go over to the Negro district." Hurley said. "There was a bunch of rozues, the lower class of white people, stealing, and robbing and bursting open trunks and carrying off stuff. Well, I found conditions unspeakable in the way of robbery. I arrested eight and turned them over to the petrol, but that is the last I ever saw of them or heard of them. I don't suppose they ever reached the fail." Hurey says draws came later and moved the stolen articles away, despite the fact that the Bay Scouts guarding the district, had strict orders to permit only Red Cross cars. It was the former policeman's opinion that members of our Race fought in self-defense. However, he punctured his remark with an exception, naming those who came to the court-house to avoid the proposed lynching of Dick Rowland. The confession also involves a well known police official. He is Capt. George G. Blaine. Hurey stated that Blaine rode in one of the airplanes that hovered over the district during the slot. and prayer was offered and the minister again across and from the 15th chapter of St. Luke, 18th verse, preached: "I will arise and go to my father, and I will say unto him, father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee;" He discussed the downward course; and then the upward course; the story of a boy and an old man. At the close, a strong young man came forward and joined for baptism, and on next Sunday morning, we have three for baptism. Thank God for all. We thank the membership and the public for the collection which was $148.80. We have a strong pray r meeting, come out and sing and pray with us. We will help you while you help us. Christian Co-operation is one of the things we most need; let's get together and try to save or help God to save these sinner filends, and we will be blessed. The report of Bro. George Cotton, last Sunday night from h's entertainment was the best for some time, $34.00. Bro. John Crane, church clerk assisted by Bro. James Douglass, Jr., is keeping the records. New Hope Baptist. Eph. 5:20. "Giving thanks always for a.l things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." According to the will of God, a great day has dawned for, New Hope, in THE Recital even Wednesday evening at Calvary Baptist Church by Miss Hazel Harrison, left absolutely no doubt in the minds of those present, of the matchless ability of Miss Harrison as a pianist. Her technic spoke for itself. Her touch and wonderful observance of dynamics, held the attention of the entire audience throughout the program. She really felt every composition she rendered, and her interpretation and explanations made the program not only more interesting but gave the hearers a deeper appreciation of the beauty in musc. Her charming personality shed rays about her life a spot light and every one noticed she not only had music for all, but a pleasantness that does not accompany all artists of such note. Miss Harrison, without doubt, stands among the World's best pianist and of her, the race is justly proud. In addition to the music given by the great pianist three other numbers were reenlered at rest periods: Mr. Casper Haynes played a beautiful organ number. "Melody in G." Miss Myrtle Letcher sang a beautiful solo, "Life's Lullaby," and Miss Launa Rawes gave an excellent reading from Longfellow's "Hiawatha"—The Fiming. See what you missed? Think what you missed and don't miss the next big recital that comes to Wichita. Prof. F. L. Barnett, deserves much c. dit in securing the service of such a noted talent for Wichita's hearing. Mr B. H. Neely is to be wonderfully complimented and was highly complimented by the art's for such an excellent program and immense audience in response to his advertising. Forward March to The Western Convention. Drs. Moines, Iowa. Deer Druthren of the Western Baptist Convention: At a regular meeting of the Executive Board held in Pleasant Green Baptist Church April 21, 1921, plans for our annual session were made. After hearing a report from Dr. W. P. Bolts pastor of Zion Baptist Church of Omthe, Neb., where our next session will be held, the Board found it necessary to postpone the next meeting until Tucaday, October 25. All Conventions, Associations, and Churches will kindly govern themselves accordingly. Yours for its Cause, Rev. S. A. Mosely, D. D., Pres. Rev. G. W. Robinson' D. D., Cor. Sec. NOTICE! The Secretaries of the Auxiliaries of the South-West District Missionary Baptist Association will kindly forward to me the minutes of their convention, within 10 days from this notice, and oblige MATT. S. JONES, Recording Secretary. Friend, Kunneas. which He will enlarge her borders and do more in His name and for His sake. Sunday morning, Oct. 16th, A. D. 1921, members and friends of the New Hope Baptist Church assembled for the first service and worship in the first auditorium of our Greater New Hope, on the corner of 9th and Ohio. At 6:00 a.m., guided by the Holy Spirit, our minister, Dr. E. T. Fishback, began to conduct a gorious meeting of prayer, praise, rong, and test-mony. This glorious thanksgiving prayer meeting was graced with many participants. The first contribution was made and it will go to Home and Foreign Mission Work. At eleven A. H., the first song in His honor was, "Oh for a Thousand Tongues to Sng." The following Scripture lesson was read by Dr. Ferrisch; Prov. 3rd chapter, and 24th Parlm. Dr. Fishback, using for a text, Haggal 2:1:9. Subject: "The Vision of This House which should Inspire All its builders Through All the Per- ills," preached the everlasting, glorious Gospel. His message was timely, eloquent, spiritual. Hearts were made to rejoice and grand old ha lelu ahs rang out. The pastors of the city and many of their members and our other friends were gladly welcomed at three p. m., also Dr. J. H. Van Leu, our State Supt., of Missions was requested by our pastor to introduce the associate ministers of the city and in his own unmitateable way he did so. Each responded with short excellent address. If some names are omitted, please pardon correspondent. Among those responding were Dr. S. B. Butler, Dr. J. R. Ransom, Dr. Little, Dr. Ferrisch, and Dr. Edmond. At seven p. m., the congregation was highly gratified to hear he rendition of a apenid B. Y. P. U. Program. Every number was good. Re-assembling at eight p. m., the congregation gave attention to Dr. J. H. Van Leu, who used as a text, Acts 1:8. Subject: "We Shall Receive Power." Our minister read the Scripture Lesson from the one hundred and eighteenth Psalm. A great sermon was preached. And what shall I say of Monday evening when New Hope threw open her doors and invited the city to our reception? Palms, ferns, and other potted plants, with the tasteful festooning made the interior beautiful. Our minist. r and his wife were at the head of the receiving line. With them were Mr. Dudley Johnson, representing the Deacon Board, Capt. W. L. Hutcherson representing the Men's Bible Class. Dr. G. G. Brown, Chairman of Trusted Board, Mr. Shad Jones, Treasurer and foreman for the work on our new building, Mrs. C. Tillman, President of the Women's Missionary Society, Mr. James McAfee, President of the B. Y. P. U., Mrs. M. L. Copeland, representing the Cradle Roll, Mr. H. Parks, Chorister, Mrs. I. F. Bates as Mistress of Ceremonies, was at her best. Mrs. Pearl Robinson and Miss Mildred Griffin had charge of the register. Miss Othella Lewis and Mrs. M. Dunn decorated each one with a souvenir. Mrs. G. G. Brown and Mrs. Lena Smith were conductors. Punch was served by Mrs. Lizzie Harris and others. A silver purse was donated by the members of New Hope to our minister and his wife; afterwhich the members of the receiving line made short talks. Mrs. Bates made the presentation speech, The HI "Y" and Triangle Boys gave a fine entertainment Tuesday evening. Hurrh! for Capt. Hutcherson. Mrs. Doris Hardy and her staff of he pers gave a musical and literary program Wednesday night. They covered themselves with glory. Don't forget that the Baptist Western Convention convenes in Omaha, Neb. Oct. 29. Our own Mrs. I. F. Bates is the honored President of the Women's Department of the Convention. (It is the Women's Missionary Convention.) Surprise the President by going and boosting everything that is right. Mrs. Bates will leave Wichita, for Omaha, Sunday night, the Lord willing. Our prayers accompany her, ARE YOU AWARE? A That sharp and pointed impressions sometimes cause us to be very emotional.? Sometimes we are made to leap to our feet in evidence of the impression received from that point. That the white part of the Harrison audience had a splendid chance to hear something of our race beside crime? Let's look to see if the account PRICE, FIVE CENTS Reporter for the Convention Reporter for the Convention. In a little stone school-house in the rather isolated school district No. 8, there gathered on the 1st Sunday in October, the happiest group of sociable individuals to be found in many a bad day's search. When we see or hear of something unusual, we seek the cause and in this instance we do not have to seek far. It was the 12th meeting of the Logansport Township Sunday School Convention. Five Sunday Schools were present, which constituted a nice crowd for so sparsely settled a country as Western Kansas, especially, Logen County. After the morning service which consisted mainly of songs by the various Sunday School Choirs and a masterful sermon of "Devotion" by Rev. M. S. Jones, pastor in charge. The noon hour was announced. The writer feels his inability to express his views of the exquisite, dainty, delicious, inspiring luncheon, so, will only say that it was an inexpressib- v. glorious occasion. Afternoon the business of the Convent on was placed under discussion, Miss Bernice Nevins, accomplished Secretary of the Convent'on read the report of the business transacted at the Convention, held in Oakley, following which report, plans were moved and adopted for the progress of the next Convention to be held in January. Among the visitors present and introduced to the Convent'on, were Mr. D. S. Jones of South Logan, Mrs. Brown of Oakley, and Miss Orebla Louis, of Friend, Kansas. The Logansport Township Sunday School Convention has realized progress by leaps and bounds; and although it has been organized only three years, it compares favorably with organizations of twice its age, if we compare them as to (1) Foreign Missionary support, (2) Local Inspiration.

(By The Associated Negro Press) ATLANTA, GA. Oct. 21—Charged with embezzlement of state funds as executive secretary of the state of Georgia under the last administration, Claudo A. West, candidates for secretary of state in the last democratic primary, was arrested and placed in the city jail last Tuesday. (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 21—The sudden death of Senator Philander C Knox, United States Senator from Pennsylvania has caused the political conversation to change from that of appointments to one of expressing sentiment. Senator Knox was an unusual character, a man of great ability and highly esteemed by his constituents. He never did anything notable for Coorcd Amtricens but was one of that type of American citizens who could be counted on to extend a fellow feeling in time of need. Senator Knox would have been a candidate to succeed himself as United States Senator from Philadelphia, but death opens up a wide field of political activity in the Keystone State. Stands Firm But Wants Position. WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 21—Charles A. Cottrell of Toleda, Oh'o. emphatically denies the report sent out from Washington, to the effect that he is a candidate for Recorder of Deeds. Mr. Cottrell desires it to be known that he has not broken with his group of political friends and his greatest and only ambition, if political favor comes, is to be Register of United States Treasury, a position for which he has been mentioned since the beginning of the present administration. Ready Placement for Negro Students. By The Negro Associated Press WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 21—An important study is being undertaken by the department of Labor in New York City, to determine the value and distinction in placements of products of Vocational training. Compaints have been numerous throughout the country that many trades included in the vocational program of public schools do not find ready placement for Colored students after they have completed the course. New York, with its population of Colored people and consequent strong school attendance from the minors of that race, presents the most acute case of this wastage of vocational training. Accordingly, the Labor Department has instituted an investigation under the direction of Commissioner Phil H. Brown and the immediate supervision of Commissioner Brown's assistant, Karl F. Phillips, to determine what trades taught in the vocational schools are easy of placement and those that are not. The study will enter into reasons for restraint of placement, gained from interviews and questionnaires; and this investigation prosecuted among industries calling for skilled and unskilled labor, should bring reliable conclusions deedly interesting to the information of schools in formulating future vocational programs. To this end the Labor Department has established for this special work a temporary office in New York City as a branch of Commissioner Brown's duties and activities. Mr. Brown will have the co-operation of the Board of Education of New York and the Vocational Guidance Committee of that organization New York Mayor Cites Instances of Fairness. NEW YORK, N. Y. Oct. 21—Mayor Hylan made a fervent appeal to colored voters recently in the Ruth Memorial church. He said, among other things: "What the Negro is entitled to and should receive is a square-deal, equal opportunities in civic and industrial life, which are guaranteed to him under the Constitution," Mayor Hyan said, "This city administration has steadfastly insisted that Negroes shall have a square deal and the protection to which they are entitled. "In this connection, I may point out that in 1918 representatives of the National Urban Conditions Among Negroes conferred with the trustees of Bellvue and allied hospitals in regard to admitting to the interne staff of Bellvue Hospital Negroes who are graduates of reputable schools of medicine. These representatives were told that all appointments to Bellvue and allied hospitals were made solely on ability and merit, and that absolutely no discrimination was made because of race or creed. I am happy to say that since that date several colored physicians have served as internes at Bellvue Hospital; that a number have been appointed to the out patient department at Harlem Hospital and that more consideration is still to follow. "During the past three years and nine months, Negroes have been appointed to the Mayor's office and the D'strict Attorney's office and both colored men and colored women have SNYDER'S ICE CREAM The best that it is possible to make. 5 roome, bath, (no fixtures) wired for electric light. 50 foot front, 140 feet jeep. good well $ 850. 1,200 cash, monthly payments 22 65.

By The Negro Associated Press LONDON, Oct. 21—Each fighting ship in the British navy is now being converted into a sort of naval museum, containing hundreds of small wooden models of every existing warship in the world. The admirality has been working on this scheme for some months and every ship in the navy is now equipped with wooden models of every battleship, cruiser, destroyer and torpedo boat in the British and American navies. They are also completing and distributing similar models of every ship in the Japanese, French, Italian navies. The purpose is to help the commander identify strange ships appearing on the horizon before the stranger gets too close for safety. Dry Cleaners, RELINING AND REMODELING As near as your Phone 120 So.

Oct. 21—An e'oquent appeal for liberalism and a scathing arraignment of those who sow discord by arraying race against race and creed against creed thrilled the congregation of the West End Baptist Church at the last Sunday morning services. Dr. Warren Mosby Soay was talking of the new era which should dawn among men when he declared that the first element of it was a new liberalism. "The time was, "said he, "when the followers' of him who meek and lowly, who gave us the sermon on the mount, who was the very embodiment of love, burnt each other at the stake for Jesus' sake. This was done by Catholics, but it is also true that Protestants did the same thing. "Any organization, whether civic or religious, that arrays race against race or creed against creed or sect against sect, or sows the seed of suspicion and hate in the heart of man against h's fellow man, neither fosters true Americanism nor promotes the spirit of the religion of Jesus Christ. We need a religion that will have nothing to do with racial and religious intolerance. NO RESPECT FOR CHURCH NOR LAW NO RESPECT FOR CHURCH NOR LAW By The Negro Associated Press BLACKWELL, OKLA. Oct. 21—More than .00 men wearing robes of the Ku Klux-Klan filed thru the First Methodist church here during church services, and stopping in front of Rev. Fred Mesh, the spokeman said, "We know you are not with us, but we are behind you, 3,000 strong, in Kay county." His speech concluded, the spokesman turned and the leader of the group bearing a huge cross lighted with torches, preceded the remainder of the body down anisle and out the door. The Klansman carried banners stating, "We stand for 100 per cent Americanism," and "We bow on'y to the law, but we want the law enforced by the right officers." The band disappeared almost immediately after leaving the church, Rev. Mesh has been emphatic in his appeals for observance of the law, and its enforcement, according to members of his congregation.

MILBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MICRO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE A FEW HOURS AT THE CENTRAL out as God's Levers to lift a race to higher places in the world's affairs. LAST Saturday evening was the enjoyable occasion for a great number of invited guests to be present at the Sir George Williams' Centennial Anniversary, which consisted of a splendid luncheon and program. The luncheon consisted of grape fruit, fruit sand, peas, white potatoes, fried chicken, coffee, hot rolls, butter, and ice cream. It was well prepared and richly served. Two solos while we ate, were for the sweetening of our souls for the great things that were to follow. At the conclusion of the supper, we stood and sang with the spirit, "Oh Hail The Power of Jesus' Name." A fervent prayer shaped our souls to receive the great messages brought from across the sea where Sir Williams was born and from London, where he organized this great agency for good among humanity all over this world. We heard from the fields of South America; and we enjoyed immensely the address from Drs. Wells and Pierces. Out of their store-houses of knowledge, we feasted untriflingly and were only sorry when the end came. Dr. Pierce has proved to be a square man in every field that ca led him to service and all humanity felt his powerful influence for uplift and development. Mr. Block was the regulator of the good will that made every body feel welcome. We wish that the people of the city could realize what a big heart and soul that propel the actions of this ggreat character. We feel lifted a few degrees higher to have been present at this great meeting. IF the race has not found a great friend in Dr. Ross Sanderson, it is badly fooled and we believe that a real co-operation and suggestions by the little counsel that met at the A. M. E. Church last Tuesday will be the great means for a better relation between the two races; and a better relation means no riots and destructions for Wichita, which now has the best race relation in America. We believe that the Christian force and the proper understanding will be our only safe-guard from prejudices that mean fruits of destruction. This counsel consisted of representatives from eight congregations of the city. We were also favored with some valuable information about our children's welfare in the city by Mrs. Stokeley, Great things are ytt to come for the two races as soon as they rightly understand each other. AFTER eleven years of practical, constructive, Christian work for God and his race in this city and vexity, Rev. Dr. S. B. Butler, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church will within the next few weeks leave to take up a greater work in Indianapolis, Ind, "By their fruits, ye shall know them" saith the Lowly Nazarine. Dr. Butler, by the fruits of his Christian endeavors as a minister and gentleman in this city has measured up to the high standard and met the test. The Star congratulates the citizens of Indianapolis, upon having secured a race leader who was a valient knight of the army of Christ stands firm in advocating those things which make for the bettering of racial conditions and advancing of the Kingdom of Heaven. NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH of this city, after years of prayers, tears and cross-bearing, on last Sunday enjoyed the realization of its efforts, and with an outburst of enthusiastic prayer, song and eloquence, into its new church which is destined to become one of the great religious edifices of the city and state. Praise must be given Rev. Dr. Fishback and its congregation for their determined efforts. Those who build for God build for humanity. The churches of a race are not its burden but by the line of principles and influences that come from within their wells, stane RUNNING absolutely true to form but a little behind schedule the Grand State of Texts comes forward with another Negro Roasting at Leesburg. There was a time when such affalus might have terrified the Negroes, but that day has passed and instead a spirit of dignified contempt is aroused which serves as a spur to urge them on towards that success from which they cannot be held by the savage attitude of any class or clan in America. Such an exhibition will afford great inspiration to the various delegations to the Disarmament Conference, and perhaps increase their frith in the spirit of American Sincerity relative to the dawn of universal peace. They cry for peace but there can be no peace brought about by the actions of any nation with hands stained by the blood of innocent victims of racial prejudice or Flag perfumed with the scent of roasted human flesh.
