In All Of it's Nakedness.

fuge and, i'm all its nakedness, this
new American creed says Let no
black man be given an opportunity
to rise, lest they become the equal
of the whites Shouting vocifer-
ously and constantly that the black
is an inferior race the demand is
that the Negro shall not have an op.
| portunity to rise in the world. Thus
it is that this bitter animosity seems
to be directed, not against the most
! ignorant and debased of the black
race, but against the most influen.
tial, the best educated, well-dressed
and well-behaved. No amount Of
honesty and thrift, or culture Of
head. or hand, or heart. can make
them safe from insult. injury, and
even death. The men who commit
these acts. and the defenders of such
be like us white folks. he must be
struck down--he must be taught to
keep his place" II is brutal, de-
picable indefensible and un-Ameri-
can attitude and as President Harri,
son so aptly said, will bring our
\ posterity to heritage of woe unless
we meet the issue bravely, right
this national wrong, and avert IA
real national danger.
Lest We Forget.
Because we live in America and
become accustomed to this attempt
to keep down the Negroes, we must
not forget that they have the sym.
pathy of the whole civilized world
in their efforts to rise; that the hu.
man race generally does not look
down upon a man or despise him
or hate him. because of his skin
color. In the sacred writings of
both the Old Testament and the
New, it is affirmed that God is no
respector Of persons, and we believe
His desire to be that His children
both black and white, should live
together in this world in peace, JUS
tice and mutual helpfuhess.
There are portions of our country
Which are declared by foreign oh
servers to be as uncivilized as any
in the wohle world. In what other
country have men been killed fol
the color of their skins, as was done
in Atlanta, Ga, when men rushed
into barber ships and killed men
while It work at their trade, because
they were black.
I'm Arkansas, recently, two youns
colored girls were killed by white
men. according to the accounts pub
lished in their own local papers, be
cause they had slapped white
boys face.

Rrcord of The CInI,..

In two brilliant battles of pitchers
yesterday, Richmond won from Roa-
nolte and tied the second game. Heis-
man and Revelle opposed each other in
the first game, and We're we'll matchd,
Richmond, winning out in the third on
an error by Richard, Reeves single and
an out. Roanoke never had a chance
to score. and only twice got man
as far as second bag. Each pitcher
Yielded four we'll scattered hits. and
only one of the errors cut any figure.
The second game was almost lost by
Richmond in the first inning through
the inability of Long, who opposed
Reynolds. to handle hunts. After one
hand was out. the Roanoke players be-

plate, and did 1t so beautifully that
before Long or Warren could field

/ The second run was made possible

base to try to catch Reynolds, who had
beaten out the bunt. The throw was
unnecessary, and being wild, got by
Cowen and enabled Brodie to score the
second run. Richmond scored on

SENATOR SMOOT.

United States Senator Smoot of Utah
has been vindicated He is now all
right, all right During the past four
years he has been recognized by suffer
ance. He is now full hedged senator
from the State noted for its polygamous
tendencies. Reed Smoot has been white
washed to a turn. He came to the Sen
ate of the United States as Republl-
can. ii is true he had incurred the dis
pleasure of all the women of the United
States, who are radically opposed to
plural marriages, that is of one man
having more than one woman as a legal
wife. These good women have waged
an untiring contest against him, not iii a
personal sense but rs being the repersen-
tative of creed, known as Mormonism.
This Mormon Apostle has insisted that
he does not subscribe TO the doctrine of
plurality of wives, which has been re-
ceived with doubt reserved and eN-
pressed by millions of the citizens of the
United States The women of the Unit
ed States who prize the sanctity of the
home beyond price and above all things
of earth have secured hundreds of
thousands of signatures TO a petition
urging that Reed Smoot be not recog
nized or admitted to his seat in the
United States Senate. but when the final
test was reached, Reed Smoot received
the endorsement of forty-two senators,
while only twenty-eight voted against
him. After the result of the vote had
been announced there was a rush OF
Republicans to the Republican cloak
room where Smoot had retired. He was
congratulated enthusiastically.
By this record the women of the
United States, whose efforts had been
directed to the defeat Of Smoot as an
Apostle of Mormonism, have been dis
credited, and i'll Utah this seating of
Smoot will be construed as an endorse
meut of Mormonis1n. However, this &C
ton is not surprising. In his plea of de
Tense Smoot affirmed that he has only
one wife and one family of children
Perhaps, some of the senator's who fav-
ored Smoot could not consistently do
violence to their conscience, as they
may, as matter of fact, have besides
their legal spouse plurality of dear
friends not of the male gender, upor
whom they may expand their affection
at will
In this record Of his approval, Smoot
may congratulate himself on the fact
that he is a Republican; that the Re
publicans are in full majority in the
United States Senate, and whatever may
have been his attitude as representa-
tive of Mormonisn1, directly or Indirect
ly, he was safe in a Senate of Republi-
cans. Had Smoot been a Democrat,
everything would have been CREASED for
the occasion and he would long since
have been fired with a hip and hur
rah.
