There was a meeting in Mound City
the other night and those who attend
ed and took part were not the sons
of Shem nor the descendants OF Japhet.
so, they must have been the olfsprngS
Of Ham. The object of the meetin,
as stated by "leadin Orator, was to
take steps to counteract the alarming
and deplorabIe wave Of criminal con
duct that has swept over our county
during the past three months. There
were speeches galore, but the only
practical sensible point made was
voiced BY Prof f. b. Allen. who is at
the head Of the colored schools. He
had no confidence in efforts to restore
soundness to bad egg--the "old OF
tenders" and hardened criminal could
be regulated, only by the state; to
use moral suasion or resolve on his
reformation was utter folly. Prof. Al
len sounded the key note when he
declared that the place to start was
with the younger generation; that the
law abiding cOiOred people could have
no higher mission than that of com
pacting themselves as one person ana
demanding and Systematically seeing
Ia II that the children be Kept off the
streets and compelled to attend school
10 discipline a race that IS inherently
weak, intellectually and morally, Is a
stupendous task But that discipline
10 possible and practicable is clearly
demonstrated by the striking fact that
the older generation of negroes
those who came up out of the rigidity
of slavcry--are SO much better people
in every respect. better morally, so
cally. politically, than the generations
that have come after them, that the
contrast is simply remarkable. In
Mound City today and every day there
are no less than 100 negro boys and
girls between the ages of eight and
fourteen years and scores above and
below-aimlessly roaming the streets,
yelling hideously, throwing stones
through window panes and taking the
earlier steps toward the county jail
or the penal institutions of the state
There is no doubt that the better
class of colored people Ceprecate this
state Of affairs profoundly. but they
naturally conclude that if the school

power and the parents cannot remedy

washouts ana cloudbursts in the south
and west. The men wished they had
some of that water here.
So finally the drive approached its
end and all concerned began in antici-
patton to taste the WEAKNESS that
awaited them. The few remaining
tasks still confronting them all at once
seemed more formidable than what
they had accomplished. The work for
the first time became logged, distaste-
full. Even Thorpe was infected. He,
too, wanted more than anything else
to drop on the bed in Mrs. Hathaway's
boarding house. There remained but
q few things to do. A mile Of sacking
would carry the drive beyond the in
duence Of freshet water. After that
there would be no hurry.
he looked round at the hard, fatigue
worn faces Of the men about him, and
he suddenly felt great rush Of affec-
ton for these comrades who had so un-
reservedly spent themselves for his af-
fair. Their features showed exhaus-
ton, it is true, but their eyes cleaned
still with the steady, half humorous
purpose Of the pioneer. When they
caught his glance they grinned good
humoredly.
All at once Thorpe turned and start
ed for the bank
'That II do. boys" he said quietly to
the nearest group. "She's down."
It was noon. The sackers looked up
TN surprise. Behind them. to their very
feet, rushed the soft smooth slope of
Hemlock rapids. Below them flowed q
broad. peaceful river. The drive had
passed its last obstruction. To all in.
tents and purposes it was over.
Calmly, with matter of fact direct.
ness, as though they had not achieved
the impossible, they shouldered their
peaveys and struck into the broad wag-
on road. In the middle distance doomed
the tall stacks of the mill, with the lit
tie board town about it. Across the eye
