May Precipitate into Another Civil
War.

The continual injustice heaped
upon the Negro by southern
mobs may cause another war be-
tween the north and the south
and the Negro. The Negro will
not very much longer put up
with their dastardly coward
deeds. We are tired of it, and the
old howl of rape is no condor
ment. We ask Negroes to be
men, we condemn worthless Ne
groes, but we don't propose to be
killed for the sins of others We
think it is time to fight and die
on the spot and take company
with US. Cataline shall always
audaciously abuse our citizens,
undlstnrbed and unmolested.
More attention should be given
to how to solve the mob and out
lawry problem or what to do
with the Negro in this country
Is Negro rapist any worse than
d white rapist? The Negro is
not to be subject to the will or
wish of others. If the law is not
enough to handle Negro
then there is no pow

ally, any other remedy. If the
state authorities cannot handle !
the criminals and the mobs, then /,
the government should intervene.

Public Gambling a Detriment.

Gambling breeds more crime

all other sins combined. The

fore the people: Shall gambling
be allowed to continue? Ii you

SHIP SUBSIDY STEAL.

The department of commerce and ia

from President Harvey D. Goulder of
that modest league upon the preteNt
that it is Il part of a report from
George e. Anderson, formerly consul
at Annoy. The public pays for the pub
lication Of this periodical, and it is a
shame that it should be filed with
pleas for subsidies and graft, written
by the hired agents of ~shipowners, and
palmed off as consular reports.
Besides the Goulder letter the de-
partment also prints a statement of
the general agent in Australia of the
North German Lloyd Steamship com
pany on the beauties and blessings of
a ship subsidy. This important deliver
ance seems to have been reported by
Consul General Bray Of Melbourne.

How "Gift Stocks" Have Been Dis
tributed By Coal Operators.
The new term gift stocks expresses
probably the most insidious form of
bribery yet developed except the free
pass and the deadhead telegraph and
express franks. Gift stock is worse
than rebates or special rates because it
not only is intended to procure and
does procure these unlawful results,
but procures them by corrupting and
debauching the managers of great rail
way systems.
The interstate commerce commission

tween certain coal companies and the
Pennsylvania railroad had up to May
20 traced 1922 shares of gift stock"
which means bride stock, to high Off
Gals of that great railroad company.

at the exposures of corruption among
his immediate subordinates. But when
it is remembered that he has been him

of life insurance companies along with

railroad company has received millions
in gifts from congress since 1901 his
surprise must be deemed mere feign-

Washington i'll his farewell address
said the basis of our political system
was the right of the people to make
and unmakc.' The trusts and corpora
tons have been created by the state.
therefore the power that made Them
has the power to control and even II
unmake them. AS long as corporations
confined their operations to legitimate
ends for minimizing the cost Of pro
duction IL marketing and reducing
the price OF their products or trans
portation they We're a blessing. But
now, when the corporations restrain
trade and combines are created to
defeat competition and control legiS-
latures and courts and pay of their
i'll gotten gains to elect presidents, they
violate the laws and become IA menace
to Il free people. The trusts and cor
porations have almost universally be-
come criminals. and in league with the
dominant political party they divide

Is it any wonder that the people
are universally demanding that these
overgrown trusts be curbed and the
charges Of the railroad corporations be
regulated? To say that this cannot be
done is to put these combines above
all law and superior to the sovereign
power Of the state and the people.
Under the Republican policies, which
have fostered these giant corporations
and have aided them in establishing a
modern feudal system which is diff
cult to overthrow, the cost of living
has advanced 46 per cent and the cry
of the people for relief is overwhelm-
ing. Democratic statesmen foretold
this result and for years have demand
ed that the people be preserved from
these plunderers by wise restrictions.
but the itch for the almighty dollar
blinded the eyes of a majority of the
voters for a time. Now most of them
are turning again to Democratic poll,
cles, for the burden of the trusts and
corporations is i~ntolerable. but it is
no easy task to undo the harm that has
been done and prevent it in the future
But the people who created can I'm,
