Labor Bigger Problem
Than the Black Man
(By Associated Negro Press)
NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 17—There has been very extensive comment on the recent editorial published in The Chicago Tribune in which there is the claim that the "Negro controls the south." There is much difference of opinion concerning the reasoning of The Tribune.
"Nothing especially ill-natured was intended in the article probable," observes the well known Nashville Banner, daily, "but it abounds in prevented facts, and tortured logic. Neither premise or deduction are correct."
"It has been made an argument against women suffrage in the South that it would make voters of Negro women, but the real objection to it has come purely of that conservatism that is a very marked Southern characteristic, especially in regard to women and the home."
The Tribune article is only another exhibition of misconception concerning the South.
In saying that the Negro dominates the South the Tribune possibly meant that the fear of Negro domination has held the South solidly democratic in its politics. That view is more nearly warranted than anything else that it says in the article quoted, but even that is not wholly true and the rest is far from the mark. Prohibition began in Main and it prevailed extensively in the country west of the Mississippi river as it did in the South, and for very similar reasons. The Negro is not so much a problem in the South as labor generally is in the North and the South is better able to pass and maintain prohibition because it has a smaller foreign population than the North has.

Arizona Not Included
(By Associated Negro Press)
NEW YORK, N. Y. March 17—Despite their large population only three southern states have hospitals under church control exclusively for our group. The Interchurch World Movement proposes to build such hospitals in nine additional states at a cost of $3,100,000. Hospitals in Jacksonville, Nashville and New Orleans will be supported by the movement and at least one general hospital is planned for Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, both the Carolinas, Texas and Virginia—all states without a hospital.

KEYSTONE, W. Va., March 17—At a meeting of the republican executive committee of McDowell county, W. Va., held in the court house at Welch, the county seat on February 28th, T. Edward Hill, Keystone, owner and business manager of The McDowell Times, was unanimously elected secretary of the committee. Mr. Hill is the first and only colored man in the state to be so honored by a county committee of either party.

(By Associated Negro Press)
NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 17—Meharry Medical College of Nashville has received a gift of $150,000 from the General Educational Board at New York.
The appropriation by the General Educational Board for Meharry was part of a general appropriation of $1,675,000 for college education in the United States.
The board contributed $767,555 to Negro schools, mainly for maintenance, and $199,795 for its regular support for southern state universities and southern state departments of education, for work in the secondary education field and for the promotion of rural education.
The appropriation for Meharry College places that well known institution as the foremost Negro medical schools in the country.
WOMEN PERMITTED TO VOTE IN KY
(By Associated Negro Press)
LA GRANGE, Ky., March 17—Although Kentucky women will not get full suffrage this year, but will vote in the presidential election. Negro women already have entered politics. This is the first time in the history of the South when Negro women have taken any apparent interest in politics, and certainly the first when a woman member of that race has participated as a fully accredited delegate at a convention.
When the seventh congressional district republican delegates met here preparatory to the state convention among them was Annie Simms Banks, of Winchester, Ky., one of the delegation from Clark county, who not only took part in the proceedings, but was appointed a member of the rules committee, and as such helped prepare the report submitted to the state convention. She was referred to whenever it became necessary as "the lady from Clark," and was accorded as much courtesy as any other delegate.
ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY
TUCSON
(By Mrs. Wm. Pikhelson)
(By Mrs. Wm. Blakeley)
The revival that is being held at Mount Calvary Baptist church, services being conducted by Rev. Edw. Jones, of Douglas, will continue to run another week.
Rev. Wells of El Paso, Texas, who has been in the city several days in the interest of Paul Quinn College, preached a splendid sermon Sunday evening at the A. M. E. church. He is stopping at the home of Mr. Harry Nelson.
Quite a sad and tragic incident happened on last Thursday afternoon, when Mr. James Fennell was shot and killed accidentally. While passing along in front of the Consolidated National Bank he was struck in the jaw by a bullet from a 30-30 rifle, the bullet tearing both eyes out. He was rushed to the Arizona hospital and died about 3 o'clock next morning. The gun had been brought to the Tucson Sporting Goods company's store by a rancher to have a peep-sight put on it. He said that there were four bullets in the magazine but none in the chamber. He was accustomed to bringing his gun in loaded and the clerks would take them out. This day it happened that in some way it was overlooked. When the young man who was told to fix the gun had completed the job, he raised the gun to his shoulder, cocked it to see if the sight was in alignment, and the gun was discharged and shot Fennell, who was passing across the street. He leaves a young wife and child to mourn his loss, with another child expected soon. Much sympathy was extended the widow. The Arizona Daily Star has been running a story and receiving contributions to a fund for her benefit. The colored people as well as the white friends gave liberally. Mrs. Fennell left for Seguin, Texas, with the body on Saturday for interment.
Mr. Hiram Banks is reported on the sick list.
Mr. William Blakeley has been confined to his room on account of illness. He is improving and hopes soon to be able to resume his duties.
Mrs. W. D. Alexander left on last Wednesday for her home in Prescott after spending several weeks in Tucson. During her stay she renewed old acquaintances and made many new friends, who regretted to see her depart. Several social affairs were planned in her honor.
Mr. Gustave Rogers, nephew of Mrs. A.A. A. Moore, who had been confined because of insanity, died Saturday morning from the effect of the disease. He was 17 years old and came here recently with his relatives from Louisiana. The funeral was held from the Reilly undertaking parlors Monday morning at 10.
Rev. J. H. Allen, presiding elder of the Albuquerque district, passed through the city Monday, March 15th, en route to Phoenix.
Negro College Men
Organize Omega Psi
Phi Fraternity
(By Associated Negro Press)
ATLANTA, Ga., March 17—The Eta chapter of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity has been organized among the leading Negro college men of this city. Their charter has arrived from headquarters in Boston and plans are on foot for securing a fraternity house for the local chapter.
The Omega Psi Phi fraternity was chartered in 1912 and numbers among its members some of the most distinguished men of the race. Among this number may be mentioned Colonel Charles Young, ranking colored officer in the United States army and more recently appointed United States military attache to the American legation at Liberia. H. H. Thomas has been elected as basileus of the Eta chapter.
A. F. L. Goes on Record as Favoring Equal Pay for White and Colored Teachers
(By Associated Negro Press)
BALTIMORE, Md., March 17—Upon a proposal of the Colored Walters' Union, No. 836, the local body of the American Federation of Labor went on record at its weekly meeting for equal compensation for colored teachers and white. The labor organization listened to the arguments of several delegates of the waiters' union and then deemed it proper to support the measure.

The ever increasing congregation of the C M. E. church proves conclusively that the people of Phoenix like to hear a good sermon. Rev.

DOUGLAS
(By Rev. Major Jones)
Mr. J. F. Laster is on the sick list.
Rev. J. H. Allen, presiding elder of the A. M. E. church, was in the city last week.
Mr. Andrew Washington of Austin, Texas, is here visiting his sister, Mrs. J. Kimble. Before coming to Douglas Mr. Washington had not seen his sister for eight years. He is a Mason in good and regular standing and we are indeed glad to have him with us. He will remain three or four months.
Mrs. J. M. Longstreet soon will open a restaurant at $31 Sixteenth street. This will fill a long-felt need in Douglas, for, in addition to the restaurant, she expects to conduct an ice cream parlor and cold drink stand. It will be known as the "Idle Hour" dining room and will be the only place in town where a colored person may go and be served with all kinds of refreshments and enjoy a nice lunch or meal.
The rally given last Sunday at Mt. Olive Baptist church was indeed a success. Srgt. James Weatherly, captain of club No. 3, won the banner, but Mr. Brown of club No. 4 says the banner will be his in the next rally, which will be held the first Sunday in June, at which time we expect to burn the mortgage. Sunday's .collection amounted to $86.45. We are indeed grateful to the pastor and members of the C. M. E. church for the able assistance given us in this rally and intend to prove our gratitude in a tangible way on the third Sunday in this month, when they will put on a rally.
Mr. Wm. White of Fort Huachuca is a recent arrival in the city and states, that he expects to reside permanently.
Mr. L. Hex has been promoted from teamster to pit boss for the Arizona Gypsum Block company. This is the first time a colored man has been appointed to the position of pit boss since the company has been in Douglas. Mr. Hex has made good with this company and his splendid record is not only a credit to him, but the race as well. We are indeed proud of him. Mrs. Gertrude Jones received a telegram Sunday morning from Columbus, N. M., stating that her sister was very ill. The news was conveyed to the mother and she left immediately for the bedside of her sick daughter.
Union of Methodist Churches Adocated by Bishop
(By Associated Negro Press)
CINCINNATI, Ohio, March 17—Bishop Joseph C. Hartzell spoke on "The Status of Unification of Methodism" at a meeting of the Methodist Ministers' association, recently, at the Methodist Book Concern. His subject dealt with the question of the union of the Methodist church North and South and the question which is involved—the status of the Negro.
The plan for union emphasizes the representation of the minority, which is the Methodist church South, but does not adequately provide for Negro representation which also is a minority proposition.
Dr. McKibbin agreed with Bishop Hartzell, saying that he would go to Atlantic City to meet a delegation of North and South ministers of the Presbyterian church to discuss the matter.
RACE PREJUDICE DEFEATS MILITARY TRAINING
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today published a statement asserting that the opposition in the South to universal military training was due to prejudice against the colored soldier.
"The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People does not concern itself with universal military training as such," says the statement, "but in half of the colored people of the United States objection must be made to the propaganda against colored soldiers by which it was hoped to discredit the measure."
"Brigadier General Sherburne and Newton D. Baker, secretary of war, have testified to the valor of Negro troops in France. Under the circumstances, the propaganda against colored soldiers must be characterized as for the most part deliberate and intentional falsification."

Richest Colored Girl in United States Signs Deed Of Trust For $1,500,000
(By Associated Negro Press)
MUSKOGEE, Okla., March 17 — A millionaire for three hours, Sarah Rector, of Muskogee, the richest Negro girl in the United States, signed a deed of trust, turning her $1,500,000 estate over to the care of her guardians. The girl came into the money when she reached the age of eighteen.
"The spirits might get it," she declared as she voluntarily executed the deed of trust. The girl's mother, Rose Rector, has filed a petition, declaring the heiress incompetent of handling her own affairs.
The girl is entitled to the money through oil leases in the name of her father and herself, following discovery of oil on a stretch of otherwise worthless land near Muskogee, allotted to her from Indian lands. She is part Indian.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
An erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation of any
person, firm or corporation which may appear in the columns of THE
TRIBUNE will be gladly corrected upon its being brought to the attention of
the publishers.
Each day is full of riches for the man or woman who knows how to appreciate its opportunities and privileges.—Marden.
Politics seems to be in the air we breathe, for not a day passes but what this subject is brought before us. Every mail brings its quota of campaign literature from one or more of the presidential aspirants and political clubs are being organized overnight. Our leading newspapers have turned their editorial columns into a political digest and fail to discuss other matters that would be of untold interest and benefit to their readers. Why is it that this situation obtains? We always have considered politics a game and were of the opinion that not every one knew how to play it, but now that all our editors have "set in" and begun playing the game, we fear our belief was not well founded. However, we shall watch the game closely a few years longer before we attempt to play politics.
The white people of Mississippi have sighted a new peril. They are becoming alarmed at the spread of book learning among the colored people. A. J. Whitworth of the Mississippi house of representatives which rejected the Susan B. Anthony amendment is spreading the news. According to him, within five years, nine out of every ten Mississippi colored women will be able to read well enough to comply with the law which says that voters must also be readers.
Considering the difficulty of teaching any illiterate adult to read and the somewhat casual nature of popular education in many parts of the south, it is possible that Mr. Whitworth has made an over-statement. But his remarks are a reminder of the real nature of government in states where African blood flows in the veins of the majority. In such cases the government is, speaking frankly, white domination, maintained with the help of "Jim Crow" laws. Elections always result in gratifying victories for the democratic, which is also the white party.
In time a majority of the colored people are sure to find their way to an elementary education. When they do their disfranchisement will no longer be simple.
Negroes in the South also have advantages in the business and agricultural world. In some southern cities there are banks whose stockholders, officers and directors are composed entirely of Negroes. There are successful Negro real estate dealers and attorneys. And there are Negroes who have made a success as merchants. A Negro who died in Memphis several years ago was one of the wealthiest residents of the city, having acquired his fortune as a result of his own efforts in business. There are prosperous insurance companies owned and managed by Negroes. One of the largest publishing houses in the country Is that of the Negro Laptists, located at Nashville. As farmers on their own account, Negroes have also made good. In Arkansas, for instance, many Negro farmers own automobiles, and, in addition, have a healthy bank account. At Little Rock, last year, one Negro farmer—just an average looking Negro—paid income taxes on an income of $2,500 after deducting exemptions to which he was entitled for supporting his wife and children.
For years our group has loyalty supported the Republican party, locally and nationally, and then has expected to receive some recognition in appointive offices. This has proven a fond delusion. We are getting our eyes open. We have begun to see clearly that the only way to receive due recognition is by getting into the game right and filing as candidates for elective offices. The Monitor urges competent men to file for the legislature and for city and county offices and make a fight for election. If we unite our forces, we will not be beaten, and though we should be defeated once or twice, what difference does that make? Keep it up and we will win, eventually. Get into the game right and play according to the rules.
In a recent issue I notice an article on the South by Chas. A. Seldona. Allow me to call your attention to one discrepancy in it. After telling how Alabama now gives the vote to "intelligent, industrious, honest Negroes," you say, "such would probably be unthinkable in Mississippi or South Carolina, the only states in which the blacks outnumber the whites." Yet, the blacks outnumber the whites in this state; in some parts there are from five to seven Negroes for every white person. But even though this is true, South Carolina would hardly consider it "unthinkable" to let intelligent, industrious, honest Negroes vote, since she has been allowing just that for forty-four years, quietly and peaceably. You know, Booker T. Washington wrote, in his "Story of the Negro" that the Southern white man is the best friend the honest Negro has."
This is how the white people of South Carolina came to grant Negro suffrage. They suffered more from reconstruction than the people of any other state. They could not free themselves, so they appealed to the Negroes to rescue them, promising the vote to all worthy ones. This took place in 1876, and ever since then the promise has been kept, and all good Negroes can vote in both the primary and election.
Mississippi also gives the vote to deserving Negroes. They passed a law similar to ours at the same time and for the same reasons.—D. E. Norris, Rock Hill, S. C.
The Negro of today is framing his demands in unanswerable terms. He is not demanding anything that belongs to another; but he is demanding rights that are his, to acquire the identical things that other Americans enjoy. And he is specific in his demands. He asks for equal opportunity to develop himself by his own labors. He asks equal opportunity to compete with every other American for the identical fruits and blessings achieved by any other American under the American form of government. The Negro asks no gifts, but an equal opportunity to acquire any and everything other men acquire through honest toil and sacrifice.
Again, we are reminded there is no new Negro. But there is a Negro with new ideals. And when he is allowed to work, to develop himself into a full man; dependent upon none except himself, he will appear as commonplace as any other American.

SPEAKING OF VOTES
(New York Times)
Issue I notice an article on the South by your attention to one discrepancy in it. Does the vote to "intelligent, industrious, honest, probably be unthinkable in Mississippi or which the blacks outnumber the whites?" whites in this state; in some parts there, or every white person. But even though they hardly consider it "unthinkable" to let intelligent vote, since she has been allowing just the few peaceably. You know, Booker T. Was Negro" that the Southern white man is the "white people of South Carolina camp suffered more from reconstruction than they could not free themselves, so they appeal promising the vote to all worthy ones. Once then the promise has been kept, and the primary and election.

The
City of Purple
Dreams

CHAPTER I.
Even Chicago's corroding March wind could not dull the gloss of his buoyancy. Like a furious mastiff it tore at him angrily, snapping viciously at his poorly protected body, snarling and howling malevolently. But to him it was no more than a bumptious puppy that worried him not at all. Head erect, hands thrust deep in ragged pockets, he swung jauntily along the Rush street bridge, whistling merrily a popular coon song.
He was wretchedly clad—a mass of rags and tatters. His face was smudged with a healthy growth of jet black beard, and it required little scrutiny to see he had long been a stranger to soap and water. He was very tall—over six feet—and this accentuated his sloveniness. He was a man of twenty-four, with a distinguished face rather than a handsome one, and he had an athlete's physique.
At the south end of the bridge he turned and started across the street. Midway he stopped short. Standing on the opposite sidewalk was a plainclothes detective, Pat Kelly by name, who yesterday had arrested him on a vagrancy charge and released him with a warning to leave the city or suffer the consequences.
There was no time for hesitation. He had caught Kelly's unfriendly eye, and he knew what to expect. He wheeled about, started back—and plunged directly in the path of a high-powered touring car which came hurtling across the bridge.
Things happened quickly. It was too late to sidestep the onrushing machine, too late to stop it, and the chauffeur, in a frantic effort to avoid running him down, jerked wildly at his steering wheel; the big car veered, dashed diagonally across the street, and smashed slap-bang against a brick wall.
The hood of the car was caved in, the lamps demolished, the front wheels broken and the axle twisted; but to the occupants—two girls who sat in the tonneau—no harm had come.
As soon as the vagabond looked upon the wreck, a smashing blow caught him behind the ear, another on his neck; an arm was twisted behind his back, and a red, hairy hand clutched at his throat. Without turning round he knew it was Kelly; knew, also, that he must not strike back, for nothing earns a culprit quicker or severer punishment than resisting an officer.
One of the girls in the tonneau jumped quickly to the ground and stepped between the belligerents. The heavy motoring veil which therefore had concealed her face was now lifted, and she stood revealed as one of those insidiously beautiful and frankly feminine girls who command golden opinions from all men, slavish obedience from most, and the envy and jealousy of many women. Her eyes, normally of a dark, velvety blue like a pansy's petals, were nearly black as she turned scornfully upon the detective.
"You contemptible coward!" she accused spiritedly. "To attack a man when his back is turned."
Kelly smiled down at her indulgently and shook his head.
"No, miss," said he, "you misjudge me; I'm a plain-clothes man from detective headquarters."
"That does not alter the first fact," she retorted. Fumbling hastily in her purse, she confronted Kelly as he started off with his prisoner.
"If you arrest that man," she cried warningly, "T'll—"
She left the sentence uncompleted, and plucking a visiting card from her purse thrust it into the detective's hand. He read the name thereon, and then looked at the girl with a respect as sudden as it was profound.
"Let me see; you're Mr. Blackburn's—"
"Niece. He will grant me any favor I ask of him. Do you still wish to take your prisoner?"
Officer Kelly capitulated unconditionally. Without a word he lifted his hat half an inch from his head and turned on his heel and walked swiftly away.
The girl stepped back from the liberated one and surveyed him curiously from head to foot. He had sniffed an odor of violets when she was near him, and he saw now it came from a cluster on a lapel of her tan motor coat. He felt ashamed. For perhaps the first time in his life of vagabondage he was conscious of his rags, of his unwashed body, of his unshaven face, of his slothful dirtiness. And he was ashamed.
"Take this dollar," she said, holding out a bill to him, "and buy some soap with it. Candidly, I believe you are the dirtiest young man I ever saw."
The hot color receded from his cheeks, leaving them, if one could have seen the skin, as white as marble. Very daintily he took the bill from her fingers, crumpled it in his capacious

left hand, and removing his battered hat with his right held it arm's length and made a sweeping, exaggerated bow, bringing the hat upon his breast at its conclusion.
"Thank you, kind lady, you are very good," said he, and there was now in his voice a deep, mellow tone which caused her to look at him more closely.
"The base lucre"—he folded the bill and defly concealed it in some mysterious recess of his rags—"will purchase for my parching thirst some twenty swallows of whisky. Dear lady, I bid you good day."
"Wait!" she cried, as though uncertain whether or not to laugh. "Tell me your name."
"Daniel Randolph Fitzhugh, dear lady, at your service." Again he made the mock-cavalier bow, and with a ridiculous show of haughtiness walked

off, leaving her staring after him with parted lips and a half-amused, half-puzzled expression in her pansy eyes. Beside the automobile he stooped and picked something from the ground. An examination showed it to be a dainty handkerchief of exquisite lace. He thrust it in a tattered pocket and walked on.
Just outside a certain unsavory salon, supported by derelicts of the underworld, he took out the handkerchief and held it to his nostrils; again he breathed the fragrant odor of violets. He examined it clumsily, with a sort of awe, and in one corner found a tiny embroidered "K."
For a full minute he stood with the bit of lace pressed to his nose; suddenly he jerked his hand away, glanced sheepishly around and grinned foolishly. He entered a "blind" alley near the saloon, and with his back toward the street unbuttoned his coat and vest, thus displaying the absence of a shirt. He glanced over his shoulder, and grinned sheepish, and folding back the flap of his soiled undershirt he placed the handkerchief next his skin. With a safety pin (it required several to hold together parts of his apparel) he secured it to his undershirt over his heart. After which he laughed loudly and harshly and with a great, cynical contempt, and emerged from the alley and buttoned his coat.
"Tm a blankety-blank fool!" he muttered savagely, and pushed open the swinging doors of the saloon and stalked inside.
The remainder of the day he spent in attending to his personal appearance. He enjoyed a shave and a wash, and discarded his tattered coat for a newly purchased snowy white sweater which reached from the top of his throat to below his waistline. Thus transformed, he appeared at midnight in West Madison street, where a densely packed crowd had assembled. A platoon of policemen, marching five abreast and armed with night sticks, had drawn up on the outskirts of the crowd. The police had been given to understand that the jobless men would march once around the "loop" and disband on the lake front. But it was now seen this was not their plan. Instead of turning east the leaders turned west, and all along the line the cry arose "Smulski's hall." Fitzhugh fell in with the surging mass, and like it became imbued with the spirit of "On to Smulski's hall."
In front of the rendezvous a large crowd was already collected; the new arrivals swelled it threefold. Then, by that curious form of thought transference which often animates big gatherings, word went through the crowd that the hall was nearly filled, that there was room for scarcely two hundred more. And fully five thousand wanted admittance. As by a single impulse the crowd became a seething, clamoring, blind mob that surged this by the United States employment service in the two years ended in January, according to Director General John A. Densmora, of the service.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
Chandler, Ariz., March 9, 1920. Editor of the Tribune:
Dear Sir:—
Some time back there appeared an article in your paper concerning the new union depot and the Jim Crow waiting room for our people.
Now, I think it is time our people in Phoenix and in Arizona should immediately get busy and strike at this southern monster before they are handed anothersugar-coated pill, like they were some time ago, when they were sent to a church to see their children graduate, while the high school auditorium was reserved for white children only.
This was something unheard of in the land of Jim Crowism and segregation.
Mr. Editor, now is the time for every colored man, woman and child to get busy, and with the assistance of the N. A. A. C. go after this piece of southernism.
Let every one combine, forget their petty grievances, and their self-interest and the dollar and get together for work. Don't leave it up to Mr George. If they do, they will get it in the neck again.
Trusting that we can create a feeling of brotherly interest among our people, I remain.

OBJECT TO HIGH RENTALS
(By Associated Negro Press)
NEW YORK, March 17—Members of the Harlem Tenants Lodgers' League, composed of Negro tenants, met at Palace Cason, 14 East 135th street to protest against recent rent advances. More than 200 members of the organization, which was formed for the purpose of opposing high rents, paraded through the streets of Harlem. Many of them carried banners denouncing the profiteering landlord.

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING
CHAPTER 1. rer [nix National Rack Phoenix Sevinea Ore err
_ Smulski's hall was.a vast, barnlike
structure of one Aloor. Every inch of
four space was occupled by swelter-
ing humanity, and when Fitzhugh rose
to make his address he faced an audl-
ence of fully three thousand. He
walked to the edge of the platforin
and stood looking out over that silent
sea of upturned faces, with scarcely
an idea of what he was to say. Yet
he felt a tingling thrill of pleasure
that for a moment was as wine to his
senses, He knew what he could -do,
and he exuited In his gift. Many times
before he had moved men with It, but
never so large a gathering as this.
At the back of the platform, seated
among her “comrades,” Esther Strom
leaned forward in her chair, her lips
slightly parted, her dark eyes spar-
Kling. From that moment until the
close of his address her gaze never
left his face.
Fitzhugh charged into bis address.
His volee, very low at first, swelled
fuller and louder and clearer as he
spoke, until its resonant ring thun-
dered and echoed through the mam-
moth hall. The crowd became as a
single body with a single mind, which
drank in his words thirstily, He
swayed and moved it this way and
that with the apparent ease of the
wind swaying a field of wheat. It was
not What he said, for he said nothing
great, but the way he said it that so
stirred his auditors, Those who had
gone before spoke to the mind. He
spoke to the heart.
‘There was a moment's calm before
the storm of applause broke. It
roared in upon him, wave upon wave,
and he stood up, smiling and bowing,
to meet It. He was fiumediately sur-
founded by a group of men and wom-
en, who, in their own way, showered
him with congratulations, heaped flat-
tering eulogies upon him, -.
Turning to greet a fresh delegation
who had just joined the group around
him, he saw Esther standing a short
way off. As their eyes met she beck-
oned hit and he went to her.
“You must let me have him now,”
she said, smiling upon the admirers
who had followed him, “He is my dis-
covery, you know, and there are many
things I want to say to him.”
“Bring him back soon, Esther,”
called one of the men—a_blotch-
skinned, yellow-haired giant called Ni-
kolay. “I want to give him literature.”
She nodded brightly over her shoul-
der, and led her captive from the
stage and Into an adjacent room. Once
atone with him she seized his hands
and raised her face, eager and radiant,
to his,
“I knew you could do it—I knew it!
And there's something else 1 know.”
“Well, let's hve it,” he said a trifle
brusquely. “What else do you know—
about me?” -
“IL know that you can be a great
man.” She had waxed suddenly very
earnest, “You have it In you. You
must take what ts yours! You owe it
to yourself!" bs
“Give me your address,” sald he,
“and T'll come to you.”
She hurriedly wrote something on a
slip of puper and banded it to him,
“Come—uany time,” she told him,
und turned toward the*door.
“isn't there another way out?" he
asked, detaining ber, “I don’t caré to
run the gautlet of that hand-shaking
brigade again.”
She unbolted a door at the end of
the room and disclosed a rickety wood-
en stulrease leading to a back alley.
He pressed her bund, murmured a
word about a future meeting and was
gone,

It is, of course, disgraceful that in
a city of the size of Lexington. and
supposed orderliness, such riots as
accompanied the trial of the Negro
Lockett should be countenanced for
& minute. But, due to the prompt ac-
tion of Governor Morrow- of Ken-
tucky, a still greater disgrace—that a
prisoner might have been forcibly) tak-
en from a court of justice—was
averted.
This country cannot be considere,l
to have reached a really high state of
civilization until such outbreaks of
elemental passion and bestiality as
have been and are all too freqiient are
eliminated, It is voicing a common
place saying that the lynchings and
attempted lynchings which occur to
some extent all over the country, but
more especially in the South, constt-
tute some of the blackest pages of
