the bore and blood of all races and the
primal function o.. society, from the

At the annual meeting

was adopted:
The National Afro-American Press
Association at it's twenty fourth an.
nual meeting in Louisville, KY, feel
that in the present crisis in the history
of the Afro American people, when a
systematic and thoroughly organized
movement, begun in 1868, is working
with malicious and malignant energy
to utterly destroy the civil and politi-
cal rights Of those for whomswe stand
in some part as spokesman, it is neces-
sary to- re-affrm and emphasize the
following principles fundamental Y In
citizenship and generally championed
by all Afro-American newspapers, and
to request the masses Of the people to
live up, as far as they can, to the letter
and spirit of these principles.
We resent the reiterated state.
ment that this is white mans coun-
try" It was made in its inception and
development Dy' all OF us people, 1rre-
spective of race, and the Federal Con-
stitution specifically places, all of it's
citizens on equality before the law.
With our heterogeneous population, of
all of the races on the globe, if dis
tinction and abuse of race on account
of race should ever become q flxed pol
icy of the Government, the disruption
of the Government would be inevitable.
God has created no one race to lord
over any other race, for "of one blood
made He all mankind" p" .~. ...'.
The persistent effort which has been
made and is being made to nullify the
suffrage guarantees of the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth amendments to the Fed
eral Constitution is fraught with as
much danger to the peace and security
of the Federal Union as was the effort
to hitch slavery upon the Constitution

absurdity which would only be ad.

TTRTTC MOUNTAIN.

The report that a second great fall ct rock
from tho stones OF Turtle Mountain had oc
Cured this week is denied by the prihcil'i
ouner Of the mines there. who. though INins
iR the United States. is certainly IN a pos'uoi
TO speak with authority. As nearly i huIui.U
rS>sous in Frank were killed by the LANDSLIDE
OF last April il is relief TO learn mat the stO'!
is erroneous. the more so because there mas
been reason 10 expect q repetition of that IN
fortunate experience.
When the chief inspector OF surveys Loi 'Ne
Province of Alberta and Il representative 81
rho Dominion Geological Survey visited the
scene of the great disaster they dlScoVereu
rather exceptional situation. Not only did they
find that the rock strata of which Turtle Noun
tain is composed had been tilted up edgeWlSe
bv movements in the earth crust at some period
il, the mast but they also observed that differ
ent LAYERS were separated from one another to
an unusual degree. The whole uplift was full
of vertical creviceS. While last springs catas-
trophe was in a measure caused by the eNcava-
ton of horizontal mining shafts. it was immedl-
ately precipitated by the freezing and swelling
of water i'm these cracks. SO much material vet
remained in 4 condition of insecurity, however,
that more OF il might be detached at any mo-
ment by any one of several influences. The Of
ficials were consequently satisfied that further
trouble was TO be anticipated.
Protection could be assured under such cir
cumstances IN only one way The value of the
coal deposits in Turtle Mountain was too great
10 justify the abandonment of mining opera
tons there. No system of bracing that would
certainly prevent another avalanche on the
slope outside seemed to be practicable. The
sole guarantee of safety, therefore, seemed to
he a removal of the village itself to different
site in the adjacent valley. The people who
were hurt before were not in the mines but in
their own dwellings Hence the wisdom of
transferring the latter 70 more advantageous
positions.
In the execution OF such policy it was hardly
10 be expected that the miners themselves
would take the initiative. Though they may
have had some sense Of Insecurity. they needed
leadership and guidance in making a change.
Unless therefore. their employer has acted
upon the advice Of the biologists. the workmen
and their families are still exposed TO peril.
Now that attention las been directed afresh 10
the matter 10y the recent false rumor, possibly
something may be done before a second serious
landslide really occurs.
