The anti-lynching a meeting
called by the women of Boston and
held on the Goth ult., was presided
over by a negress Cor at least the wife
of a negro.9 It is said there were
800 women present. VIZ gather from
the proceedings las published that
these Boston women don't consider
the uncomfortable crime for which
negroes are inevitably and swiftly de-
stroyed in the South as a very serious
matter. One of the speakers a Mrs.
Howe, demanded that military pro-
lection be afforded by the federal
government to negroes in all such
eases. 1t may seem a little strange
to southern women that their sisters
of Boston should champion the cause
of the negro rape iend, but we assure
them that it is strictly in accord with
the fitness Of things, and if they can
not fully understand it, it is because
they do not know the down-east polit-
ical female. They do not take such
things so seriously insBoston.--Texa

That great intern ational farce that was

we have wars and rumors Of wars, more than
ever and no steps taken by outsiders to ping
about reconcilations and peace. IL seems
q. IL some of those who acted so conspicuous
q part in the Peace Conference ought, at
least, to PIT forth an effort to END the cruel
and uncalledfor bloodshed between the
narties at strife In South Africa. 1t appears
somewhat unreasonable, however, Tor SO
