It is a shame to have the oblivity of any woman questioned in this matter, and when Cope makes such an act, it is a frank admission that he questions the virtue of his women. It is an insult to the white woman who have remained at home unbarmed for months under the protection of colored men and boys, and to have their honor thus assaulted at the late date is more than the self-respecting Christian men and women of other two men willing to stand Cope is a church leader who claims to have his Christian brother, yet when he was acting on a committee from the churches to investigate the running of the theatre on Sunday, he was asked why he objected to the Sunday show.

We call our life a great journey in this community all the time we were there on the 17th of april when we visited Plymouth Beach. Now this is a fashionable summer week this being the closing week and carnival week the Beach was fully lighted up with beautiful colored moon dessert lights transformed into different designs and the entire beach front was illuminated with beautiful tones of these different colored lights and build- ing of many different shapes with the whole front decorated with lights of di- tinct colors. This seemed to me a very table tuxedo and we tried to stay on the beach until the time in it 12 which pum but our party decided it was too cool and damp, so we returned to the city through a tunnel known as the Interurban Railway.

The man who furnish the brain and money of co-business are not going to let a few grand standers amuse a few tools to enact laws to rob them. Men like Rockefeller, Morgan, Humman and others can withdraw their money from the business, close it down and then have something for their children knowing that they can take nothing out of the world. They can rest with ease, while the poor devil will go baggging. Let the people stop giving blood to these grand stand players, and do the best we can. No law can compel these men to spend their money. What the laborer wants a plenty of work, good pay and no environment.
