LIB ERIA

We are glad TO see Liberia
seeking aid and information for
the improvement and elevation
of her people. For generation
they have sat still over there and
neither sought or desired any
assistance The country is trop-
ical and the land fertile. II is "a
shame that even greater progress
has not been made from the fact
that the government is mostly in
the hands of intelligent men who
went from here we!l' versed in
the affairs of government. Min
ister Lyon is here now and he is
giving to the people the correct
condition of affairs We advise
that the Liberians make good
with the American Negro.

The Negro's cItizenshipin Jeopardy

II an interview that is purpor-
ted to haVe' been given out by
SenatorCullom of Illinois, is to be
taken seriously, the Negro needs
to be much concerned as to his
citizenship IN the future, Politics
1t appears, would dictate the elm
inatlon OF the Negro from par
ticipating in the election Of officers
of State and Nation, as well as
determining as to what laws shall
be enacted 1t is claimed that
the party at presentin the ascen
dency by the elimination of the
Negro could carry several South
ern states and thereby the more
secure its contr oil of national af.
fairs II this be the reason for
the elimination of the Negro elect.
crate it IS the very same principle
that has caused the passage Of the
suffrage laws in the South. The
party that is in the minority in
national politics secured itself in
the south by the elimination OF
the Negro, and now the party
that dominates national politics
wishes to go step further in this
elimination in order to perpetuate
its political life.
The party that at present con
trolls national affairs was born to
champion the rights of the Negro
Much if not all, of the trouble
which the Negro has in political
circles is due directly to his al
legiance to this party, and now
those who have ridden into power
because they championed the
Negro S rights and won thereby
the support of the sympathlzers
of the movement as well as the
support of the Negro, are wiling
to throw the Negro overheard.
AS matter Of fact, there will
be no considerable influx from the
minority party that is now in
power by elimination of the
Negro. Any man who thinks this
to be fact is mistaken. The ell.
imination of the Nepro will not
change the political situation in
the South. The full quota of in.
fux into ranks of the party now
IN power will hardly exceed the
number of Offices to b4 filed If
the elimination of the Negro set
tied anything worth while and
proved of any real value to our
national life then the question
would be worthy of consideration
But as ten millions of citizens of
the Republic we object to the
curtailment OF our citizenship
purely on the ground Of playing
politics and that is all it is. Those
who are raising the most fuss
about the Negroes participation
in the affairs of the government
are the politicians who are at the
head Of affairs North and South

HAS MARROW ESCAPE.
Dcmcntcd sheephertler Casts Stone
Through Window.

< < 4 -
That Postoffice Inspector g. p, Lowe
was not seriously injured yesterday
q fternoon is due to the fact that he was
not sitting lin his accustomed place DIT
his desk when James Kenworthy, Il
Wyoming sheepherder, threw large
stone through the glass door Of the
office. The stone, which was almost Us
large as a mans two fists. struck In
spector Loves chair on the far side
of the desk. so that it would probably
have struck the inspector in the chest
had he been In his chair.
4Kenworthy was arrested a short time
afterwards and taken to the office Of
United States Marshal James IA An
derson, where ne was questioned by
Assistant United States Attorney Me-
iCrea. About all that could be got out
of him was that Lowe had robbed him
of a large sum of money. which he
said was mailed to him from different
places. Later he said It was those
students on the hill" that he was after.
It was apparent to these who ques-s
toned him that he was not IN his right.
mind, and he was turned over to the
sheriff aud taken to the county jail.
His arrest was due 20 the work of
William w. FurIow and S. o. Hill who
sew him throw the stone and held Ken
worthy until Deputy U. s. Marshal
