An alleged brutal assault was
made on a white female who resides
at SIG n. 3ist Street. The party
In question was within a few feet OF
a window where a white man was
standing. Il is said and either failed
or was unable to make a noise to
call for help She claims that she
did not know whether her assailant
was a white or a colored man.
Another white female states that
she was followed by a man. whom
she did not know and could not say
whether he was white or colored.
and still another declares that she
was followed by a colored man. well
dressed and wearing a watch and
chain.
These cases have been used TO stir
up the white citizens OF East End
and to create the impression that
Negro footpads and fends are pa
trolling that section. Even our US
ually conservative daily newspapers
have permitted themselves TO be
drawn into this much ado about
nothing" affair and with flaming
headlines and doubly loaded articles
called upon both the Governor of the
State and The Mayor OF the city TO
orrer rewards for the apprehension
of the guilty parties.
This is done TO the discontinue

for the reason that IL is an indirect
way OF pronouncing it wholly in

bership has been recently increased
and the salaries have been recently

then IL there is any politics In all
lof this rumpus. Here we have q
population of over one hundred
thousand. about forty thousand
of which is composed OF the
most orderly Negroes in the u
nited States. They are living in
peace with their white neighbors
and 1t is indeed a rare thing for an
alteration to take place between a
white person and a colored one.
Yet, because three or four cases
are cited. the entire community is
aroused. historical women are made
frantic, husbands cannot sleep al
night and ere almost afraid to go tc
work in the morning, while the fe-
male portion of the household think
they see q lurking Negro in every
shadow. Gentlemen. this thing won

A stop should be put to this dan
gerous practice. Every outburst IL
the Southland has been caused by
just such foolishness. You cam
hunt game with lighted candle
and secrecy is the best method FOL
hunting criminals. The way tn,
matter is now being handled. the
police and detectives are handi
capped from the start by these fool
ish and unreasonable practices.

was painted long time ago called
Flight of the Fast Mail?' 1t was
copied and brought down to the level
of a chrome, and then it was reduced
to a cut and used as an advertise.
ment. But it always had motion.
1t was a combination of power and
speed, and it was as graceful as a
swallow on the wing.
For many years in the Offices of
hotels and on the walls Of barrooms
in towns remote from the big cities
there used to be seen pictures of
midnight races on the Mississippi or
scenes Of steamboats, wooding up by
torchlight. People from the back
settlements gazed at those old-time
pictures with as much interest as the
new generation visits the art CALLER
les.
Gradually these pictures were ta-
ken down. Railroad scenery took
their place. The locomotive was the
centrepiece.
Then poets sang the praise OF
the iron horse. Ever notice how a
crowd in a city will look at a moving
picture ON a canvas of railroad
train drawn by a locomotive? The
vitascope made it reality. You
felt like getting out of the way
when you saw it coming.
with all it's speed, with all of
its power hidden from the sight, no
electric engine or motor will ever
satisfy the eye. And as for the feel
ing of safety, shall never lie down
in sleoping-car, no matter how
luxurious it may be, knowing it is
being hauled by an electric engine,
and feel quite as secure as | have
always felt when | knew the locomo-
tive was at work up in front. Me

A TRIBUTE TO THE IRON HORSE.
An Old Railroad Mans Lament at

"The locomotive was to the land
what the steamboat was to the river,
said a veteran railroad manager.
Some one had asked him ii he was
not glad to see electricity taking the
place of steam in the operation OF
railroads.
THE business has had to come to
it," he said with sort OF lamentation
in his confession. so commerce had
to give up steamboating and come to
the railroad when steam was the
power on land.
But personally it fills me with re-
gret to see the locomotive going to
the dead yard. There was always
something human, to my mind, in
the iron horse.
1T completed the picture Of land
scape. If man had been rambling
in a wilderness all day and suddenly
came upon a bit of view in which a
locomotive was making whirl with
long train of cars, the scene was
inspiriting. 1t made the observer
feel as IL he were on the rim or
civilization.
The long pail of smoke or the
white cloud of steam against the sky
added to the picture. The electric
engine can never make such a scene.
Have you ever stood on the plat
form of station when a locomotive
thundered in with it's train that was
an hour or two behind time? 1t had
the animated nature of great horse
that had just come to the wire after
q hard and close race. 1t breathed
like a sprinter after long run. 1t
trembled in its iron harness like a
living creature.
THE electric motor comes to a
standstill in an instant. 1T looks liKe
something decapitated, an, way.
