desire to prosecute Sweet II he would do
this, and told him that they would give
him an opportunity to- raise the money.
He set about apparently to get his az
fairs in shape and II was decided to keep
the matter quiet.
Yesterday, however, information came
to the firm that Sweet was making ar
rangements to leave the city secretly.

negro resort on Minnesota street at an
early hour yesterday morning, and
was arrested on the charge of drunk

young man was released at the sta

him politely and firmly that what he

station, particularly when it ca1se to

Mr. Albrecht was referred to Chief

evening. Miss Alice Chambers read

The United States of America has two
great memorial days-the 4th of July and the
Both of May. But this occasion. the ma

forgotten. Every patriotic deed, every life
sacrificed for a principle, is a memorial
stone in the foundation of the nation.
When our nation was born, English deSpot-
ism sneered at the possibility of republican
stability. 1t looked upon our form Of govern
ment as a. ggentic experiment. The problem
of a government of the people, for the people
and by the people has been weighed in the
scales of time, but never yet has it been
found wanting.
The monarches of the old world Stand
aghast at the mighty strides IN civilization
and progress the young giant of the western
seas is making. The integrity of our men of
business has brought in close touch with
the civilized world; the elective franchise, of
itself gives to- each the ballot of his choice,
the influence that flows from every true gcnu-
inc American home is pure the water
of the river of life: our public schools CCl-
leges and universities, black as we'll as
white are cleaning gateways to success
and fame because the path to honor and
public office is open to all.
We rejoice because the stars and stripes, the
beauteous emblem OF our nations power and
progress, is seen in every land. Let the cid
flag be lifted higher; place it the snow
capped peaks of the tallest mountains, and
let it wave a symbol of national existence.
This day, let pray that the principle that
binds together one may be the guiding
star of the future, and cause us to lift
the mighty arm of justice against mob law
and lynch law and thus remove The one
great black streak that defaces our national
honor
