HOW VARDAMAN LOS88E Vardaman, of Mississippi, rode into office by conveyence into Jackson in his home state in a cart drawn by twelve milk-white oxen and attended by virgins clad in vestal white—and he will shortly ride out of office unattended, we surmise, and with only the sympathetic donkey of the Democratic party to ease him out of the frost door of the Capitol and possibly into the ready confines of the Mt. Pleasant car waiting their aboutus. When he goes there he will go the last man, so we presume, who will have made the Negro issue one upon which to be inducted into office. The black men were vilified by Vardaman to a point where one would think none of them would fight for abroad now-a-days in which the "Black Devils" are playing no small part, and are rapidly discounting the statements of the fliers. Southerner no longer will the black man be expected to yield to this issue created for no other purpose than to put men into high public office. The Negro problem is not solved by any means, and the war itself will not solve it entirely. But it will go a long way toward doing so, and the nation, we hope, will be put in a position where the task will be easier than it would have been without the war—and the task, too, we hope, will be accomplished with manifestly more justice to the black race. No one knows just how the problem will be handled. It is not pressing for solution just now, however, and it can well wait until the world has settled down and our own country has taken a measure of its new opportunities andew responsibilities. Meanwhile men will be in power who will not inject Vardamanis into the discussion, and make infinitely worse a problem which will most likely present some prophecies at best—The Observer, in Washington Herald.

TELL OF GERMAN "ATROCITIES." For some time the German press has been laying great stress on exaggerating about a few Germans who have been lynched in America. The same reports are published and printed in order to give the impression that the lynching of Germans is indulged in as a daily sport in America. The Munchener Neueste Nachritchen points out that at Berne prisoner conference German representatives will have an opportunity of bringing up the question of Prager, who was lynched some time ago in Illinois. The paper says that the foreign office representatives asked questions in the last session of the lynching on the Prager case. The paper calls attention to the case of Consula Bop and Shack of San Francisco which it points out should be made a question of interpellation in this Rehistag and argues that the German delegates should bring up the question at the conference and be able to assure better treatment of Germans in America. The paper goes on to say that "the most hospitable scene which can be recorded of human bestiality is quite natural for the Yankees. He no longer gets invited over a jungling and is only ashamed when foreigners call attention to this. It says that it is always asserted that the mob and scum of the people are responsible for lynching. "Every American who uses the word mob in this sense lies, because he knows (First Published in The Plaindealer Sept. 6, 1918) Shownee County, ss. To Robert D. Bailey: You are hereby notified that a petition has been filed and suit commenced against you in the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas, in which suit Justina C.

BRILLIANT WOMAN RECEIVES COLD RECEPTION IN TOPEKA Miss Myrtle Anderson, of Los Angeles, Calif., and a law student at the Chicago university, spoke at Shiloh Baptist church last night to about two dozen people, and the room was so cold that the people were compelled to keep on their wraps and shiver through what proved to be an able address. Miss Anderson came into national prominence while a senior in the Los Angeles High school. She defended the honor of the race against a young white man who upheld lynch law in a public address to which this talented young lady replied from the same platform. The skimming was so thorough and scientific that the daily papers throughout the country carried the story of the able manner in which she defended her race. It was a burning shame to have this young lady greeted in the Capitol City of Kansas and at one of the largest churches in town, by a handful of people and room cold enough to make one's teeth chatter. However, the cold reception of Miss Anderson should not be charged to the people of Topeka, but to a few (a young ladies' club) that assumed the responsibility of advertising the matter, but who themselves were conspicuous by their absence. The advertising matter that was not kept at their homes was put in obscure places, and the people did not know of the coming of this brilliant young woman. Had the matter been properly advertised, she would have been greeted by a full house, as was the case in Lawrence and other cities in the state visited by Miss Anderson.—E. G.
