Southern Race Tolerance.

Editor Constitution: Much has been
said about the separation of the negro
from the white man of the south. This
can only be done by the hand of Provi-
dence. a God in His wise and prudent
dealings brought them together for pur-
pose hidden away to man, and their fu-
ture destiny depends upon Him. Some Of
the weaker minds Of both races have said
the regro's worst enemy is the white
man Of the south. This has been proven
untrue and malicious fasehood against
the negroes.
Never, no never, in the history of the
civilized world has there ever been a
time where one race held another in
bondage and after liberating them, re-
manned together with as much happiness
and prosperity as these two races. This
is an evidence of the friendly relations
existing between them.
After having Travelled in every section
of this great country | am compelled TO
state that after all that has been said
the negro has no truer friend than the
white people of the south. They under
stand ach other better than any two dis
tinct races in the world and where else
in the world the common interest of
one is the interest of both? OF course,
we have some friction, as they have in
other sections. but taere has never been
general disaster and the civilized
world to be just, must give the white
I people of the south credit for the prog
ress they have made in handling this
most perpleXing so-called race problem.
| believe the newspaper writer's, both
north and south, should be more careful
about what they say through public
press.
Now, in conclusion. | am glad TO state
that there is a better feeling existing
between the two races in the south than
ever before in the history of the country.
and it is only question of time and

USE OF THE ROD In SCHO0LROOM

Just what part the rod should play in
the training of a child has long been a
mooted question in the minds of thought
fu parents, inspired with a proper re-
gard for the welfare of their offspring.
The philosopher, as he walked home
from church yesterday took mp the old
question, apropos of nothing in particu-
lar. and communicated his theories to the
patient compa Mon. who had occupied the
pew in church with him.
king solomon was truly wise man,
began the philosopher but he did make
a few mistakes and I'm inclined to con
slider his precept; Spare the rod and
spoil the child as one of his most griev-
Gus errors.
Since the reign of solomon many a
child has been soundly spanked for no
other reason than that the maxim of the
Old king being recorded in the Bible
the parent m&gines he has found scrip
tural sanction for the application of the
switch.
1T may be. the record does solomon
an unintentional injustice, for certainly
he had too much sense to lay down a
general rule that every child must be
whipped or else grow up wanting due
amount of moral stamina. Perhaps what
he meant TO say, and | agree with him
fully if he did. was that the rod should
always be applied when the rod Is need
ed but that brings on more talk, to adopt
a familiar expression

MILITIA AWAIT INSPECTION.
So Replies in office of the Adjutant
General Indica te

Washington, April Especially THE
condition of the militia in the different
southern states is shown by the prelim-
mary reports made to the war depart
ment in response to the questions sent
out for the purpose of securing informa-
ton to form as q basis for the inspection
or muster of the militia soon to be made.
Colonel Parker, of the adjutant gen
erals office who has charge of the new
militia division, has given pe the oppor-
tunity of looking over the record of re-
plies from the southern states. THESE
show that the militia in all Of the south
ern states is ready for immediate inspec-
ton, or what is the same thing, inspec-
ton upon ten days notice. The appoint
ment of inspectors is to be made BY the
different department commanders. Most
Of the southern states are in the depart

In Alabama the total number Of sepa-
rate organizations is not given, but the
adjutant general states that according
to his idea the inspection should begin
with the Montgomery companies, to be
followed by the companies at Mobile and
adds that outside of Mobile and Mont
gomery there are thirty other towns in
Alabama at which militia companies are
located.
The adjutant general of Florida states
that there are companies at X towns and

DEATH OF BRIGHAM YOUNG
President of Council of Twelve Apos
ties Passes Away.

Salt Lake City. Utah, April 11.-Brig
ham Young, president Of the council Of
twelve apostles of the Mormon church,
died in this city tonight after linger-
ing illness. He was born at Kirkland
Ohio in 1896. and was the eldest son Of
President brigham Young.
Throughout his life Brigham Young
had been prominently identified with the
work Of the Mormon church, both at
home and abroad. He was member of
the Utah legislature for several terms,
and has occupied many positions of honor
and trust. He came to Utah in 1919,
making the perlous journey across the
trackless plains, while yet mere boy,
Like all the pioneers in this valley, his
early life when not lighting hostile In
dians was spent in performing hard,
manual labor.
Brigham Young made several trips
abroad in the interest of his church. and
in 1864 was president of the European
mission In 1879 he was imprisoned for
refusing to turn certain church property
over to the government agent, but was
released after three weeks confinement.
