Prosecution Which Leads to
Sensational Disclosures.

Private detectives are in Minneapolis
investigating the career of Miss Mary
A. Sullivan, otherwise Mrs. William
Orville Best.
1t does not appear that there is much
to be discovered. Miss Sullivan was
sent here by a New York millinery
house. as it's representative, and she
made many friends while in Minneapo-
lis. At that time it was not known
to any but a few of her close personal
friends that before leaving New York
she had contracted marriage with

mourning until she met him on the
street. very much alive and kicking at

discovered that Best had deserted his
wife and three children in East Hamp-

address here in which hetsaid that re-

with the race question, only went to
show that lynch law, was4 not confined
to any one section Of the country. These

There are two things which wish to
man of the race become discouraged or
hopeless. There are in this country,
North and South, men who fmeana to see
that justice is meted out to the race.
Such man is Judge Jones, of Ala
bama, to whom more credit should be
given for blotting out the Infamous sys-
tenn of peonage than to any other. Sec
ond, let us keep before us the fact that
almost without exception every race or
nation that has ever got upon it's feet has
done so through struggle and trial aid
persecution.
LET nothing lead us into extremes of
utterance or action. In the long run it is
the race or individual that exercises the
most patience, forbearance- and self
control in the midst of trying conditions
that wins the cause. Let nothing induce
US to descend to the level of the mob. In
advocating this policy I am not asking
that the negro act the coward; we are
not towards We should see to it, SO far
as the influence of parent, school or pull
pit is concerned that no effort can be
spared to impress upon our own people
that idleneSS and crime should cease.
We should let the world know on all
proper occasions that we consider no legal
punishment too severe for the wretch
of any race who attempts to assault a
woman. ~
1.-The lesson for the other portion of the
nation to learn is that both, in the max
ing and in the execution, the same law
should be made to apply to the negro as
to the white man. There should be
meted out equal justice to the black man
and the white man. Whenever the nation
forgets, or is tempted to forget this prin-
ciple. the whole fabric of government for
both the white and the black man IS

IMPALiNe ELEVATOR MEN
Superior Thinks Big Wad Of Tax Pay
ments Is In Sight.


Special to The Globe.
SUPERIOR. Wis, July 3.-There are
two horns to the dilemma which now
presents itself to the grain elevator COM
panies here There is state law which
declares that they must if doing a public
grain business. keep offices here and keep
true account of all the grain handled.
They do not want to make Superior their
business headquarters and have been try
ing to get around the law by claiming
that it affects only grain in transit and
not grain which Is owned by the COM
panies which are storing 1t in their own
houses.
To get the companies to declare that
they own and are responsible for the
grain is what the assessors here have
wanted for years. Grain has never been
one of the assets on the assessment rolls
and the assessors have never been able
to tax it because they always ran
against the proposition that the grain was
merely in transit and could not be taxed
locally. If they were to attempt to tax
it, by the time the treasurer came to col
lect there would be nothing to levy on
and the owners would be residents of
another state.
Now the elevator companies are claim
ing that they are not handling grain be-
longing Ito different persons" and do
not, therefore, come in under the new
law which Superior men figured would
compel these companies to open offices
and issue their receipts in this city. This
gives the assessors the cue they want.
They will charge up the elevator COM

new law with grain which on May 1, the

+. The Service Flags.

The manner of arranging the stars
in the union of the American flag has
never been prescribed by an act of
congress, and in consequence there has
been a striking lack of uniformity in
this matter. Designs of the flag in the
keeping of the government. however,
show that the early custom was to in
sert the stars In parallel rows across
the blue field. This custom has, it is
believed, been observed In the navy
since 1918. at which date an order from
the president directed such an ar
rangement to be made of the stars. In
the army, too, the stars have always
been arranged in horizontal rows
across the blue field. but not always in
vertical rows; the general effect, how
ever, being about the same as the naval
flag, Hereafter there will be no diff
ference in the arrangement OF the stars
between the army and navy, as an
agreement has been arrived at between
the war and navy departments.
While the sizes Of the government
flags are not prescribed by statute law,
they are fixed by regulations of the
army and navy, which have been based
upon convenience. utility and beauty,
and the exigencies of the service. The
storm and recruiting flags measure
each s feet in. length by feet inches
in width The post flag measures 20
feet in length by 10 feet in width. The

occasions and national holidays meas

of the length of the flag. and extends to

tillery and the battalion of engineers

A Marooned Cow.

A COW and a young lawyer supplied
one of the humorous incidents of the
flood at Topeka. The COW succeeded
in reaching the big Melan bridge. She
wandered back and forth disconso-
lately. and occasionally gave voice to
mournful below. On Saturday the
heart of young lawyer was touched
by the spectacle of such distress. He
got boat and a bale of hay and
started to the relief of teh animal. on
striking the current in one of the
streets. he was promptly upset and
nearly drowned. Not discouraged. he
got another bale of hay and another
boat, and for the second time heroical-
ly essayed the passage. Hhis time he
succeeded. He carried the bale well
up on the bridge, cut the wires. spread
out the hay and drove the COW up to

ously walked away. She had been just

Paper Hats.

Paper hats may soon be the proper

of economy. The paper hat for mems

It's cost is ridiculously low, as the munifi-

ADDRESS FROM NEGROES
ON RACE PROBLEM
American Council Files Objections
to Unjust Treatment.

LOUISVILLE KY, July 3.-The closing
days session Of the Afro American coun-
ell was marked chiefly by the adoption
Of resolutions embodying an address to
the country at large on the race problem.
The address reads:
I'VE recognize with pleasure the friend
ly relation that has all along existed bee
tween the best people Of the white race
and our own and We sincerely desire that
nothing may be permitted to intervene to
mar this relation. Still there are infiu
ences at work in nearly every part of the
land detrimental to our race. Who
can fail to see that the negro is held up
to public gaze as the most Objectionable
and undesirable citizen that treads Amer
lean soil? The ignorant, vicious criminal
class Is pointed to as the type and prod
uct of the race rather than those EHo are
the output Of the negroes best endeavors
for race development and uplifting. We
declare this standard of measurement
to be unfair to any people.
LAS to mob violence it Is gratifying to
note that for the last year or two the
number of victims shows a decided de-
crease. The variety of provocations which
lead up to this act of violence is growing
more and more In significance and nu-
numerous negroes are lynched for impu-
dence, for refusing to obey, for striking
white man. etc. To subject persons ac--
cused or even guilty of such trivial Of
lenses to unlawful punishment and death
is to make the negro the marked man
of the nation. In some sections Of the
country it means death for a negro to at
tempt to protect the females of his fami
ly. Is this American? Is it right? Such
conditions indicate clearly tendency to
anarchy. Anarchy for the negro will
terminate in anarchy for all men.
The purpose of those, who first started
in ostensibly to disfranchise the ignorant
negro has broadened and strengthened
Their purpose now includes almost all ne
groeS In certain states this result has
already been achieved and thousands of
qualified men are denied the right to vote
We make no objection to the disfran-
chisement Of the ignorant negro, provided
the same class of the other race are SINH
