St. Louis Argus

THE BUNDY VERDICT IS SAID TO BE UNJUST East St. Louis Dentist Given Life Sentence By Jury At Waterloo. Motion For New Trial Will Be Passed On Monday. Verdict A Miscarriage Of Justice. Defendant's Attorneys Complain Bitterly Of Attitude Of Judge Gilliam. Citizens Expected Acquital War Hero is Unmanageable in Harangue—Calla the Soldiers Cowman—Colored Officers Hume to Bomba Platform With Him—Marines Visi and Threaten Him at at Hotel—Is Compelled to Leave City in Disguise. Serget. Henry Johnson of Albany, New York, who won world fame, here of No Man's Land in France, made his first public appearance in St Louis March 28 at the Coliseum. Quite an enthusiastic crowd was present to greet him. A nice sprinkling of white people helped make up the audience, who occupied mostly box seats. The welcome addresses were made by His Honor, Henry W. Kiel, mayor of St. Louis, and Mr. Louis P. Aloe, president of the Board of Aldermen of this city. Patriotic addresses were made by Senator Seldon P. Spencer, Congressman L. C. Dyer, Lieut. Fearing, Bishop Murd and Bishop H. Parks, all of whom paid a fine tribute to the deeds of heroism due by Negro troops in all the wars of this nation. Sergeant Johnson Speaks. Mrs. Victoria Clay-Halley introduced Sergt. Johnson as "the real Henry Johnson of No Man's Land." Amidst wild and enthusiastic applause the Sergeant accepted the introduction and plunged into the height of his speech, telling of how he won the highest honor of any living man with the American Expeditionary Forces in France. He told how he killed and captured a German patrol and he himself was wounded five times, while rescuing his comrade, Nedum Roberts, who had been severely wounded. Here he told of how Negra soldiers suffered prejudice which was fostered by the American white soldiers. "Yet," he said, "I had to use my rife and threaten to kill a white lieutenant who ran under fire." This was followed by a haranguing array of the white soldiers' valor and bravery which was very embarrassing not only to the audience, but to the management of the affair. His manager, Mr. Thompson, whispered and cautioned him not to insult the people, but this he gave no heed. Negro officers in uniform who were on the platform left during the remarks by Sergt. Johnson, in disgust. In leaving the platform Lieut. Geo. L. Vaughn said he would not stand to be disgraced by Johnson any longer. "He is undoubtedly crazy," said Lieut. Vaughn, as he left. Many such expressions were heard by those on the platform and it seemed to be the consensus of opinion that Sergt. Henry Johnson was irresponsible for what he said. Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley, who went to Albany and effected a contract to bring Johnson here, said that he had acted so queer during the day that she very much feared that he would refuse to appear at the Coliseum that night at all. "Of course," said Mrs. Haley, "we didn't know what the man was going to say. We wouldn't have had him come here to insult the white people of our city for anything. He did us more harm than good." Visited By Marines Saturday afternoon about a dozen Marines visited the New Grand Hotel and threatened Johnson if he did not take back what he said about the cowardice of the Marines in France. This Johnson refused to do, saying that he 'did not charge the Marines with cowardice, but maintained that he told the truth about the whites lieutenant. Telephone calls and threats caused Johnson to leave St. Louis Saturday night in disguise. The regular meeting of Simmons School Patrons' Association will be held Tuesday evening, April 8, at 8 p.m., at the school building, 4290 St. Louis avenue.

Church, Fairfax avenue, last Tuesday night, one of the most interesting features of the occasion was an address made by Ford Harry Hayes, author of a book entitled "The Making of a Nation." Mr. Hayes reviewed in a vivid manner, the reconstructive periods of the Negro and cited stifling incidents that have occurred in order, up to the present time, that showed racial progress in a marked degree, declaring that the record of advancement of his people was most remarkable and far above that of any other races. "I am not near so much interested in the achievements of the past," shouted the speaker, "as I am in the possibilities of the future. If we would advance, we must organize and make the fight of every individual Negro our fight until equity and justice have been attained for all. "If the Negro soldiers fought, bled and died to make democracy safe for Belgium and France; it is up to you and me to live and make America safe for the Negro. The book, published by Mr. Hayes, is a first hand study of the Negro, with logical suggestions as to the solution of the perplexing problems that confront the race. The sale price is small, only 25 cents. On sale at all newsstands.

World Must Know Of Negroes Achievements NEW YORK, April 4, 1919.—By A. N. P.—Cohnet William Hayward of the "Old 15th New York" regiment, is to devote much of his time telling the white people of the real achievements of the Negro soldiers in the world war. To former Justice Charles E. Hughes, he said recently, "I am astonished to know that the people in this country know so little of the achievements of the valiant Negro soldiers. They were the near-ease of all American soldiers to the German lines on the day the armistice was signed. The world must know these facts and give credit and justice where credit is due. Through the generosity of Mr. Allen W. Clark, Chairman of the National Clean Up and Print Up Campaign Bureau of St. Louis, Missouri, three silver cups are again being offered as awards to the communities conducting the most effective cleanup campaign, which has its beginning during National Negro Health Week, which is to be held April 5-12. It is suggested that in each community there be a Clean Up Committee which shall arrange a program for Health Week. This committee should appoint other committees. In order to enter the contest for the cup, it will be necessary for each community to organize and appoint committees to carry out a definite program Records must be accurately kept in order that the report of the campaign in each community may receive proper consideration. Clivic, social or other organizations may work in their respective communities. For further information address: Robert R.

P.—The building of a house on Rummel's island, for the benefit of Toledo Negro citizens is to be fought in the courts by adjacent property owners on the grounds of "encroachments of undesirable persons and projects." While there is no special desire to have "Jim Crow" hospital established here, the movement will doubtless be pushed because of the attitude of certain whites, to whom it is stated that the people to be most benefited were not as undesirable when facing German gun- MUCH INTEREST SHOWN IN $20,000 HOSPITAL DRIVE Great interest is being manifested in the effort of the management of the People's Hospital to raise $20,000 in the drive which opened on April 3rd, to end in a mammoth Mass Meeting at the new Y.

PRICE 5 CENTS UNJUST Monday. Verdict A ens Expected Acquital SENT TO JAIL Bond Will be Set Next Week. Case Will Be Taken To Illinois Supreme Court The motion for a new trial for Dr. LeRoy N. Bundy will be passed on, by Judge Gilliam, Monday, April 7. It is expected that the request will be overruled and an appeal will be immediately perfected to the Supreme Court of Illinois. Bundy's bond will then be announced. In the meantime he remains in jail at Waterloo. Dr. Bundy was found guilty and sentenced to prison for life by a jury at Waterloo, Friday. March 28. of conspiring to murder Detective Samuel Coppage on the morning of July 2. 1917. at East St. Louis. This was followed by the riot in which it is said eight white persons and 32 Negroes lost their lives and perhaps, other Negroes perished in burning buildings. Verdict Shocks Townspeople. It is the general opinion of all who followed the case that the verdict was an outrageous miscarriage of justice. Charges have been freely made that the jury was tampered with. The verdict was a shock to the townspeople of Waterloo as well as the Colored people throughout the country. After the evidence was all heard and the arguments made, the sentiment of the town's folk was practically unanimous that Bundy would be acquitted. The leading business men of the community, most of whom were in attendance at the trial, openly expressed their belief in the innocence of Dr. Bundy and since the trial have denounced his conviction as a rank injustice. The case is one of national importance as thousands of people are of the belief that Dr. Bundy is being persecuted and is being made the scape goat in a carnival of crime that will never be effaced from the memory of people. A price was placed on Dr. Bundy's head for a long time, and he was finally taken into custody at Cleveland, Ohio, his former home, where his parents live, and where he graduated from Western Reserve University in Dentestry. Extradition was fought before Gov. Cox of Ohio, who granted a special hearing and after much delay finally permitted Dr. Bundy to be taken back to Illinois. After languishing in jail for some months, he finally secured ball and all last year travelled over the country, telling his side of the story, and raising funds for his defence. State Attempts to Place Responsibility for Riot on Colored The testimony of the state was clearly intended to place the responsibility for the East St. Louis riot upon the Colored people and it was evident throughout the trial that the state desired the conviction of Dr. Bundy in spite of the fact of a lack of evidence to uphold its position of the responsibility of the Colored people for the trouble in East St. Louis. Judge Gilliam, who presided, was manifestly unfair in his rulings toward the defense, and the defendant's attorneys complained bitterly of his attitude during the trial and also to Judge Gilliam, permitting the state to have two closing arguments after the defense had been made. It is stated that this practice is unprecedented in Southern Illinois, Judge Gilliam is one of the Judges of the circuit of which Monroe County is a part and lives at Edwardsville in Madison County. The attorneys of record for the defense were Thomas Webb, S. W. Baxter and A. H. Fridrichs, white, and Homer G. Phillips, Colored Attorneys Perry Howard of Jackson, Miss, and W. C. Hueston of Kansas City, Colored, were in attendance. The cross examining and arguments were made by the white attorneys only. Attorney Phillips made a long and hard fight in the interest of the Doctor and announces that the fight for his liberation and vindication will be kept up. Bundy's case was the last of the riot set for trial. Eleven Negroes are serving sentences in the pententary for the murder of Coppedie and Wodley. Eight white men are serving terms for participation in the massacre of Negroes, 14 have served jail sentences, 27 have paid fines, and two are awaiting the result of appeals, after having been sentenced to prison. The prosecutions were all carried on by Attorney-General Brundage of Illinois, his assistant, C. W. Middlekauff being in charge. Dr. Bundy has no children, but is married, and the untiring interest and efforts of his wife, a native of St. Louis, in endeavoring to obtain his freedom, have attracted the greatest attention and aroused genuine sympathy. Dr. Bundy is the son of Rev. Dr Charles Bundy of Cleveland, a presiding elder in the 'A. M. E. Church and mentioned for bishop. He has a brother, Richard Bundy, secretary of the legation, Monrovia, Liberia. N. A. A. C. P. NOTES. Attorney Geo. L. Vaughn, 103 North Jefferson, was elected chairman of the Executive Committee of this branch. Chas. A. Pitman having resigned. Br. Chach will hold its annual meeting on Saturday, April 24, 1819.

The Tiger's Trail" FOUR—ARGUS PLENTY OF NOVELTY IN VAUDE- VILLE AT THE BOOKER WASH- INGTON THEATRE. The Booker Washington Theatre is showing four good acts of vaudeville this week. Gross and Fleming open with a song and dance sketch and do well, especially with their closing number. Gray and Gray have a novelty act in which the female does several stunts, with chairs, the propelling power being her teeth. She swings and balances from three to four chairs with ease. The male member performs on a slack wire, balancing three lighted lamps on his head, undresses and dresses, does drum major stunt, etc. all while on the wire. The act goes good. "Skeleton Metz, a contortionist of unusual merit does every twist and turn known to his kind, and some more. He puts himself into apparently impossible shapes with ease. He is a sop notcher in his style of entertaining. Houze and Grice, a couple of eccentrics, close the show with an act of folly that keeps the audience laughing. They squabble a little, prevaricate a lot and do plenty of singing and eccentric dancing. Everything they say or do is full of humor and the act scores a hit. "Colored Troops at the Front," a picture in which every scene was taken in France, is pleasing the big crowds, as evidenced by the continued cheering. A vaudeville show of four all-star acts has been booked for next week at the Booker Washington. Hattie Garland, the favorite little singer, who always makes good, will be on the bill. Another favorite act will be The Whitmore Sisters. Essie and Baby Alice, in a repertoire of songs and dances, Brown and Bundy, a good comedy act, and Dudley and Dudley in a new skit will compile what appears to be the star bill of the season. Another Colored Picture. A colored moving picture weekly by the Lincoln Company, will be featured all next week at the Booker Washington. This weekly shows the doings of the Colored people through out the country and has several highly interesting subjects. TWO NEW SERIALS AT THE MOVIE THIS WEEK. "Borrowed Clothes." Saturday.

Agnes Stewart, daughter of an unsuccessful Scotchman, renters on a piece of wild land in the Rosebud Indian Reservation. S. Dak. goes to a nearby village one afternoon in midwinter for their-provisions and on the way back is overtaken by a blizzard that comes suddenly up. Becoming lost, after many hours, her horse, scenting human habitation, carries her to a lonely and deserted sod house. Inside, after making a fire and becoming comfortable, she falls to sleep. In the night she is awakened by the yalping of wolves, and venturing outside, stumbles over the form of a man whom she rescues. Inside, starting to revive him, she discovers that he is a Negro, and in the same instance he awakens, looks up into her face, calls her name and tells her that he has loved her for two years, and then falling backward, lapses into unconsciousness. Having never seen or heard of him before, she cannot understand, but is strangely moved by a mailiness and great courage she discovers he is possessed with. Later, she falls desperately in love with him, and the peculiar circumstances that comes of it makes up one of the most disturbing and worthwhile stories ever encountered.

When God came and took our dear boy Lee away: A shadow fell upon our lives, When Death the Reaper came And took our darling boy away From earthly care and pains, But some day our eyes can see The face we love so well; Our hands shall press in his and Our hands shall press in his and never say farewell. Asleep in Jesus, Oh, how sweet, To worship at the Shepherd's feet. Days of sadness still come over us. Tears in silence often flow; For memory keeps you ever near us. Though one year ago you left us, But it seems so many more. Sadly missed by mother, father, brothers and sisters. Thousands have seen it...thousands have manwelled over it... Thousands are talking about it. Highly praised by critics, press and public. Don't miss this big treat.

IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of our dear mother, Mrs. Sarah Cooper, who departed this life one year ago, March 31, 1918. Forget you mother, we never will, It was a bitter pain; Do not ask if we miss her, Often we think we hear her foot steps, Or see her smiling face. Though we long for you and mourn you, And crave your voice to hear; A sweet comfort comes to cheer us. And we drop a silent tear, For we know that you are happy, And your faith in memory still You'd say in life's crisis, It is the Master's will. Sadly missed by nine children and grandchildren. Stella Madison, Mildred Weaver. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of my dear father, Thomas Waters, 3016 Lucas, who departed this life April 6, 1918: Sad and sudden was the call, For my dear father who was loved by all. We little thought that on that day, Our dear father would be called away. Though dead one year he will ever be missed in the home. IN MEMORIAM In memory of our dear mother, Sarah Cooper, who departed this life March 31, 1918. God in his goodness has recalled the boon his love has given; Although the body molded here The soul is safe in Heaven. A presence one from us has gone The voice we loved is stilled; The place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. One year has passed our hearts still sore. And as time goes on we miss you more. Your loving smile, your welcome face None can fill your vacant place. Sadly missed by sons, daughters and grand children. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of my dear daughter, Ida Eaton Nealy, who departed this life April 7, 1918: Days of sadness still come over me, Tears in silence often flow; For thy memory keeps you near me, Though you died one year ago. Loving hearts will always linger, Round the grave where you were laid. Sadly missed by mother, father and daughter. Georgia Sutton, Mr. and Mrs. R. B.

To the Public: I write this because I wish suffering humanity to be benefited. I suffered with Sciatic Rheumatism for 11 weeks. My flesh was so sore I could not stand my clothes to touch me. The pains ran from my hip to my big toe, on the left side, and felt like a thousand needles were piercing my flesh. I did not-rest day or night; now I can sleep like a baby from 9 at night till 4 in the morning. I was very nervous and depressed in spirit and the pain in my head were so severe I thought at times I would lose my mind. I feel better now than I have since last August. I had not been able to be out of the house since October 23, when a friend advised me to try these remedies. After I had taken six doses of the New Discovery and the Blood and Liver Tablets, I could see a difference and when I had taken it steady for three weeks I was able to walk anywhere in the house. I am very grateful for these remedies. Yours very respectfully, MRS. J. E. COHSON, 29420 larkAve. REGISTERED BY ACT GUARANTEED by Wm. S. P. Thurman under the Pure Food and Drugs Act, June 30, 1906.

Ask Any of Our Home Druggists For the Prescription of a Noted Specialist—C-2223 Costa Little—Dose Indicated on Prescription Pacted on Bottle. Glorious News! It costs a good deal to consult a specialist now-a-days, but his prescription for rheumatism can be had at any of our home prescription drugists at slight cost, by asking for the number—C-2223. It is liquid, taken internally as per dose pasted on the bottle. One of our down town drugists says C-2223 quickly drives out of your system all the uric acid and impurities that cause rheumatism. At the same time the blood is made pure and rich. If any of our readers suffer from bone pain, swollen muscles or joints, backaches, pains all over the body, distress, lumbago, or any form of rheumatism or blood poison are advised to ask any of our home prescription drugists for Prescription C-2223. We never can tell the good it will do us until we try it. We understand our home drugists will give us back the slight cost of C-2223 if it don't benefit us, so it seems well worth while trying.

LOUIS ARGUS WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 4, 1919 By A. N. P.—The subject of the treatment of the Negro officers and men in the army is receiving the attention of the War Department, through Special Assistant Emmett J. Scott and others. Complainters are pouring in from many sources, and the men in every section are saying things that sound very unpleasant, in the light of the cause for which the men fought. It is an open fact that all of the complaints are not confined to Negro soldiers. White Northern soldiers, both in America and France, are stating that they received very unfair and in some cases, brutal treatment from Southern white officers. That there were some white officers who were inclined to look at the service of the American Negro in the fair and just light to which the situation is entitled, hundreds of them favored every plan of segregation and discrimination known to the calendar, and were it not for the saving influence of General Pershing, and a few others to whom the injustices finally found their way, there would be much more unfairness to record. In the matter of promotion, the Negro o cer have suffered most unfortunately. As a matter of fact, the majority of them were summarily relieved from the commands of the companies to which they were attached when going over to France, and white officers were put in their places. All sorts of stories are being told about the various kind of 'tests' to which Negro officers were put in order to prove their efficiency, and if the least flaw could be found, they were relieved. It is stated by some men that where restrooms were offered by Negro men, organized protopanda was resorted to by groups of white in order to stir up feeding between officers and men. The true state of affairs is gradually coming to light, and it is believed that some of those responsible for the treatment will be called to an accounting. BALTIMORE, Md., April 31. By A. N. P—a socalled "Block Union" has been formed in Baltimore for the purpose of forming planeP-PAETAOI pose of enforcing plans for keeping Negroes out of certain blocks. Recently a large number of Negroes have been able to secure places in the socalled "white blocks" through the cooperation of certain white real estate men. It is stated that the "Block Union" is thoroughly financed and the good news follows that the Negroes of the City of Baltimore have also organized a "Block Union" and are fifty-nity with the whites on the financial proposition. "Thank goodness," said one prominent citizen, "we are at last getting to the place where we are backing up our treasures with action and money. Results are bound to follow." PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 3—By A. N. P. at a remarkable mass community meeting there, in honor of the returned Negro soldiers, held at Verick Memorial African Methodist Episcopal church, the point was driven home, so that it shook the old "Liberty Bell" in Independence Hall, that since the Negro has shown his fighting strength in the world war, he is going to see that he gets the justice due him in this country, "or report to God the reason why," as one speaker put it. "There can be no more glorious death than to die for the sacred cause of freedom," said he "We died in France that others might live, and by the grace of God, if it must be, we will die in America. I trust we must have it now." The meeting, which was one of the largest ever held in the city, was preceded by a glacier street parade. Atty. G. Edward Dickerson presided at the meeting, which was attended by groups from every Negro church in the city. Rev W. A. Harrod of Cherry Memorial Baptist church said "It is time the Negroes were organized and respected. Back up your convictions with your money, and we will-get somewhere." There are a number of white speakers who made addresses endorsing the sentiments of the meeting. Each address provoked more and more excitement, and it is regarded by all present as one of the most remarkable gatherings ever held in the city, and is bound to have an electrifying effect throughout the country the facts are known. The speech that caused the wildest enthusiasm was that of Rev. H. F. Butler, pasor of Zoar Mediologist Episcopal church. He opened by referring to the unclefish and heroic conduct of the Colored soldiers in the American army, and insisting that they receive the tribute they so honestly merit. He spoke of the wonderful efficiency and clear headiness of the infantry and artillery regiments, stating that they had not been guilty of any serious mistakes. Dr. Butler further stated, "There was no malaise among the Negro artillery. They never fired down to their own infantry, nor to their rear, but always into the enemy's line, and always hit the Huns." "And now," he continued, "we are at the dawn of another day. The war is over. We have beat the Hun. We have come home, and we have come home to stay. Don't think we are going back to Africa or any other place. This is our land, because we have fought for it. We have made the world safe for democracy. We have, cleaned up over there, and now we are going to clean up home." "The white soldiers tried to take 'Snake Hill,' in France for eight months, and failed. They finally sent a Negro regiment, and they took it in eight hours. If we are good enough to take 'Snake Hill' we are good enough to have equal rights in this country." "Old Glory," shouted Dr. Butler, in conclusion. "I have something to ask for all this service. We Norcrows are red, because of the blood we have shed; blue, because we have been loyal and white because we have been pure. I would, however, have civil rights in all the states; have the "Im Crow" cow wired out of the South and have justice, social, industrial and economic, needed out of us." "Old Glory you must not fall us, and I know you will not." a new birth of freedom in the very "Cradle of Liberty," and it is believed that the entire country will be influenced by the electrifying effect. MEMPHIS, Tenn. April 4, 1919.—A. N. P.—The labor situation here is made more acute because of Negroes refusing to accept employment on farms. Demands from every section are coming in for farm hands, but both the white and Negro citizens are refusing to go "back to the soil." They claim that they are treated like "slaves" in a large portion of the farm work, and the wages are small and more or less uncertain. ATHENS, O., April 4. 1919.—By the discrimination practiced against the Negro soldiers in particular, and Negroes in general is voiced by Edward H. Berry, one of the weakest business men of the Race in the country, owner of the leading hotel in this city, and member of the Republican State Advisory Committee. The protests grow out of the refusal of the Rod Cross workers here to distribute refreshments to Colored soldiers passing through Athens. "We had thought that this war, more than fifty years after the Civil War, had tempered things. But we are segregated from the head of the administration down. We must unfinchingly contend for right and justice, now or never." CHICAGO, Ill. April 4, 1919. -By A N. P. -That the "viorece make" has not had a slump because of the war, is attested by the fact just brought to light that a single lawyer, John A. Auter, of this city, has more than one-hundred cases awaiting settlement. An industrial unit of the United States Boys' Working Reserve, the aim of which shall be to maintain the agricultural training of all American boys between the ages of sixteen and twenty who are engaged in industry. is the plan of the Reserve for 1919. This unit is already partly organized after the plan of the Farm Unit of the Reserve. Other plans for 1919 which the Boys' Working Reserve has announced are as follows: To enroll and place on American farms 500,000 boys. To afford all these boys training in farm practice before they go to the farms, by means of the central farm training camps and farmcraft lesson "To help them raise enough food stuffs to feed Europe in 1919. "To maintain the education and welfare of all American boys of high school age." Brains Necessary to Make Prosperity and to Prevent a Stagnation of Business The Latinus had a motto, "First live; then be a philosopher." Business is the thing which enables us to live. The workman of today, asserts a writer in Forbes Magazine, enjoys more comforts than the rulers of former ages solely because of the development of the vast, undefinable, all-apprehensive thing we call business. Civilization can only reach its highest levels where business flourishes. Where business stagnates, the people stagnate. In regions where business is undeveloped, there the people live rude, unrich, ignorant lives. What would be the value to China or Russia of a hundred men of the caliber of Davidson, or Ford, or Du Pont, or Vanderbilt, or Farred, or Schwab, or Edison, or Coffin, or Rockefeller, or Replogle, or McCormick, or Thomas E. Wilson, or Woolworth, or Helne, or Patterson, or Baker, or Bush or Dohey, or Gary, or Kelth, or Perkens or Ryan, or Sheld, or Spyer, or Stetinus, or Stone, or Vail, or our towering railroad giants?" WORDS OF WISE MEN Providence is noiseless as it is irresistible.—Rev. S. C. Logan. A man without self-restraint is like a barrel without hoops and tumbles to pieces.—Henry Ward Beecher. But he who knows and knows that he knows, is a wise man. Follow him.—From the Arabian Proveris. All high and grand emotions scorn the tongue, that lies as helpless in the mouth as would be artillery to express the sound and grandeur of mountain thunders in tropical storms.—H. W. Beecher. First Home of the Aztecs Was in Colorado County Cortex, reported that the Aztec stated that they originated "in the North," and it is believed by reputable archeologists that this place "in the North" was in what is now Montezunum county, Colorado. This county is the home of the Mesa Verde National park, containing the ruins of the cliff dwellers, who are considered by some authorities to have been Aztecs, or perhaps, the ancestors of the Aztecs.

We cannot pronounce the benediction, "Peace be to his ashes," because he was associated with a disturbing element of our city. As we predicted, the people of St. Louis administered a sound rebuke to the so-called Civic and Referendum League and their supporters. The Post-Dispatch, Star, and Republic will have to do some loud howling to get out of the hole, because, as they contend ed, the people have spoken, and in no mistaken terms. The verdict of the people, is, Approval Of The Present Administration. It is a pity that some good meaning people should find themselves entangled in the web of a crowd of knockers and obstructionists. Everybody knows that Mayor Kiel has given the City of St. Louis, a business administration, and for the like of us, we can't see how some people can be so blind. As to the Referendum or Civic League, they may change their name as often as they please, but a change in the hearts of the promoters is the only thing that will save them. It will be remembered that they are the breeders of the residential segregation move, which sought to set the city back a hundred years, and really cost the city an expense of one hundred thousand dollars. The jury that convicted Dr. L. N. Bundy for his part in the East St. Louis race riot, could not have done justice to his case if they would. Their verdict was so far from all reason and expectancy until it appears ridiculous. This verdict has a real significance so far as the Negro is concerned. This is a striking sample of what the white people in America call justice to the Negro. Of course the race riot did occur at East St. Louis. The Negroes, innocent women and children, were mobbed on the streets. Their homes were set on fire, and the fleeing victims were shot down like rabbits. Many of them, maimed, were forcibly thrown ↳ --- EXTRA! EXTRA!! A TRAVESTY ON JUSTICE back into the raging flames and perished there. Over one hundred lost their lives. The laws of the state were violated. The peace and dignity of the great State of Illinois were insulted by such horrible massacre of human beings. And somebody must suffer for this awful crime, so they placed the responsibility upon the Negroes, and that is why Dr. Bundy couldn't get a fair trial. Anybody with common sense knows that it was impossible for Dr. Dundy or any other Negro to get justice at the hands of a prejudiced jury and a prejudiced judge. To go through the form under the real existing circumstances, was a mere Travesty at justice. THE TWO HENRY JOHNSONS That we are loyal, patriotic-and will follow our leaders has been fully demonstrated during two recent meetings at the Coliseum. That the two Henry Johnsons were just not what we expected does not daunt our courage. We believe the promoters of these patriotic meetings acted in good faith- In each case the promoters overlooked some things they now see. But who among us have not made mistakes. Yet the wise and thoughtful profit by theirs, and and the mistakes of others. The deeds done by Sergt. Henry Johnson were worthy of the efforts; and it seems a pity that he hasn't sense enough to appreciate the honor that the people would like to bestow upon him. So let us forget the "Henry Johnsons" and turn our thoughts to honoring the returning boys of the Ninety-Second Division. "WITHIN THE LAW" The Chief of Police O'Brein has said that no waving of the red flag goes in St. Louis.
