At Columbus, Ohio, a roller
skating rink to cost $1,000 IS to
be erected for the accommoda-
tion of colored patrons. The
plans are all ready and the build
ing will be started in a few days,
the contractors promising to rush
il through to completion within a
month. 1t will be so arranged
that the sides and back can be
opened in the summertime, MAX
ing a splendid dancing pavilion.
The floor and all arrangements
will be unsurpassed by any white
rink in this section. The build
ing will be 200 feet long and 90
feet wide, giving a floor space of
1900 square feet. The inter
ested party is Ralph w. Tyler,
and he will personally manage
the affair. Colored people are
over the news. 1t is
also contemplated to add bill
lard and bowling alley depart
ment, but this will not reduce the
floor space for skating. This sec
ton has got the roller skating
craze badly, and it is the opinion
Of all that this rink will prove d

AS To The Union.

We were hampered this week in
getting out our paper on time by
on account of the local tpyogsaph-
ibal union.
In order that we may be correct
ly unPerstood, we desire to state
our position in regard to the union:
We do not oppose them as we be-
lieve in the adage, "That in union
there is strength" and we have no
objection to ony of our employees
being a member thereof. But as
an organ of the colored people we
would stulify ourselves by being or
attempting to be a part of any Or
ganization VIII: ::ch as we understand
discriminates against our people.
If we could be could be convinced
that we would get the same recog-
milton regardless of color, we would
then consider the proposition of
making this a union shop. But
until we are convinced, we shall be
compelled to do the best we can
with an open door.
we believe that every man should
conduct his bushes to the best of
his ability without outside inter
ference as to how he should run it.

On Native Heath Outdone
Springfield Missouri the Latest Recruit to Act Of BarBaBm Which
Cause the Civilized World to Look Agh& at the Horrors
Of BabarEn Committed.
aMob which Emulates
lama Rev. nos Dixon,e eta

On last Saturday night at Spring
field Mo-, town of about $500
population, a bowling mob forci-
bly, token from the countyjail, three
American citizens and foully muir
dered them, and about the only ex-
cuse for this foul and uncivilized
act was that they were Negroes.
This bowling mob of murderous
savages even went so far as to select
for their scene of action the statute
of liberty, enlightening the world.
They actually hanged the from the
arm thereof and after hangidg them
built a fire up against the statute
and burned them, and in savage
glee danced around as a Chattering
Jargon or an Indian in the palmy
days of his savagery.
This henious offense was all COM
mitted on the word of mans wife,
who was out riding with another
man. She claimed an attempt had
been made to assault her, but she
positively stated that neither of the
men lynched were the men.
This rabble and offal of civiliza-
ton celebrated the resurrection OF
Christ the next morning by coming
out in their newest and best and
poking in the ashes hunting for
souvenirs and making merry. The
Clansman had played there a few
nights before and had served its
hellish mission all too we'll.

Smiths court last week, brought
in a verdict of NOT GUILTY at

The defendant in this case was
reared in this city. Her lite has
been such, that in the long drawn
out trial, there was no one te say
ought against her; this was also
true of her entire family. With
such environment it is but natural
that she would in her hour OF dis
tress have friends, and from her
past record great weight would be

a life sentence in the penitentiary

two men, each of whom is less

They were convicted at Darling

T e Springfield savages.

The Rev. Thomas Dixon, with
his "Clansman" can now gloat with
ghoulish glee over the conditions
which that infamous and hell
inspiring play has wrought in this
particular bailiwick, that it makes
demons out of those with a pro-
pensity for evil, which would
make the chattering jargon appear
as a refined product Of modern
civilization beside the creations of
Dixon's ignoble teachings.
This hypocrite sailing under
false colors as disciple of Christ
may stir up strife. prejudice and
race hatred into the hearts of the
unintelligent, weak kneed, but as
sure as there is a God, the day of
reckoning will come. AS long as
such barbarism and shuch atroci-
ties are committed, we may expect
that portion Of the scripture to be
apparent which says God works
in a mysterious way his wonders
to perform.

The Crime of a Black Skin.

Three negroes suspected of
crime, but two of whom were de-
clared by their white employees
to be absolutely innocent, were
hanged and burned without trial,
without even a casual investiga-
tion, by mob in Springfield, Mo,
early Easter morning,-Easter
morning, remember!
The sheriff and several other
officers did their utmost to save
their charges from torture and
death, but most of the police
held aloof, and the mob was ire
sistible.
Had these suspects been white
they would have been given
chance to prove their innocence;
they would not have been put to
death without due process of law.
Blu, the feeling against the
black race in Springfield has been
strong for some time. And it
was because of this feeling that
the negroes of that place made
plea that The Clansman," a
fierce propaganda of race hatred,
should not be presented in that
city. The appeal was in vain,

GOV. FOLK TALKS.
st Louis, April I7,-In a speech
here tonight at the Commercial
Club banquet, Gov. Folk said:
1--WE have recently had all occur
renee in our state that has shocked
the civilized world. Strange to say
there are men, good men, too, who
approve of what the Springfield
mob did last Saturday Nifht, when
three Negroes prisoners were lynch
ed by hanging them to the out
stretched arm of the statute of Lib
erty, holding aloft the torch of
civilization.
Whatever may have been the
crime of the wretches, irrespective
of their guilt or innocence, it was
murder for the mob to kill them.
The may have deserved death, but
it was death at the hands of the
law and not by a mob. We have a
government by law and not by
mobs. Murder and criminal assault
are punishable by death in this
tate, and failure of justice in the
case of the latter crime is unknown.
THE action of the Springfield mob
was dastardly, cruel, inhuman and
cowardIy."
