buttons regarding lynching and he grow
ing arrangement between the races:
we, the Wake Association, assembled
in annual session for the consideration Of
the best interest II the kingdom III
Christ among our people, after prayerful
and thorough discussion Of the growing
arrangement between the two races. have
been deeply impressed with the serious
ness Of the situation.
w realize that while we are not alto.
gether responsible for this condition. yet
BY reason of the laWless element OF our
race We are not blamelees; and We realize
that An Improvement in the situation
rests, in part, with Us, by greater effort
to extend the saving influences OF the
church in the home life to the masses OF
our people which will result III lettering
our moral and social conditions.
We further realize that with all our
determination to improve the conditions
and whatever success may follow our ef-
forts, the growing spirit Of mob law and
the recklessness with which the mob
prosecutes its work, without regard to
the innocence or guilt Of the victim. APP
parently encouraged by popular feeling
against our race, will not enable Us to
fully accomplish the desired end.
Resolved: First, That we feel we have
a claim upon the Christians OF this coun.
try and the constituted authorities Of the
Government both of whom are pledged to
the protection of the defenseless.
We, therefore, call upon all Christians
III the name OF our common Father, and
Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, to
come to our assistance both by helping us
to improve our own condition and securing
simple justice at the hands OF the people
OF this country.
We commend the Governor of North
Carolina for his efforts to pro-
tect US from mob law, and we humbly be
.seech him not to be influenced IN his de
termination to stamp out the rapist and
the lyncher either by the approval OF
disapproval eft the public.
Resolved: That we hereby pledge our
selves anew to redouble our efforts espe-
cially III stamping out the crime of rape
and all other crimes whatsoever by our
people, and the causes which lead up
to them.

A Plea for the School House.

Do the voting women of North Yakima
realize that next Saturday they will be
called upon to decide whether we shall
have more school room to meet the ac-
tual demand of our rapidly growing
town? Repeatedly our long suffering
school board has called attention to its
vital needs of the schools and repeatedly
their requests have been ignored.
Shall we sacrifice the education of our
children in order to build fine thcaters
the mothers to decide at the polls next
Saturday.
If through actual knowledge the moth
ers We're awakened to the conditions of
our schools they would need no urging
to vote in favor of the school PROPOSE
ton.
The great Wendall Phillips said that
"Woman's Suffrage was not so much a
right a. duty" The ladies have the
right and it is certainly their duty to
use it. President Roosevelt when gov
ernor of New York. in his message to
the legislature said. Il call the attention
of the legislature to the desirability of
gradually extending the sphere i'll which
the suffrage can be exercised by women.
In answer to question regarding the
above, Mr.. Roosevelt replied. that the
bestowal of suffrage in women at school
elections had certainly been good for his
school district at Oyster Bay. \ new
school house was much needed. but the
proposition was invariably voted down.
so long as men alone had the right to
vote When women were given the right
to vote on school matters. the district
had new school house right away.
There are some taxpayers who oppose
any thing for schools by which money
is a consideration and there are other
taxpayers who have no children of their
own who bitterly object to assist in the
education of other peoples children. 1t
will require the votes of taXpaying
mothers to defeat such influences.

SCHOOL. BOND ELECTION

Next Saturday. July II, the voters OF
school district No. are to determine
whether or not the directors of the dis
trict shall borrow money by issuing
S22 600 worth of bonds for the purchase
of a school site on Mob Hill the cree
ton of four room brick school house
thereon and the construction of a like
building on the grounds of the Columbia
school.
Ii the proposition carries. the district
will have eight additional school rooms
across the railroad track for the accom-
mediation of children attending the pub
lie schools. 1t does not and cannot af
ford entire relief. but in the opinion of
the taxpayers a. expressed at the mass
meeting of June Doth is all the expense

Clayton Captured.

of last week skipped for parts unknown
leaving IA number of the business men
losers to several amounts on account of
his rockies, inclination to draw checks
on bank, in which he had no funds. has
been located. Sheriff Grant on Monday
received word from he Sheriff at Bill
lngS. Mont. to the effect that Clayton
was in his hands. did not deny identif-
cation and was willing to return to
North Yakima and answer for his mis-
DOING, Mr.. Grant took the train in the
evening for Billings and expects to get
back with his man about Friday morn
Ing.
The capture is considered a clever one
4 view of the fact that the officials were
not informed that Clayton had gone
until three days after his disappearance
The sheriff then sent out descriptive
circulars of the maj with the result
that he was apprehended at Billings as
above stated.
Clayton is good looking fellow, very
smooth of address and it is said that
not all of his shady transactions have
been exposed, although enough are
known to the officers to make it likely
that matters will 90 hard with him.
