Dear Editor
The Suffrage meeting held in our
city last Saturday evening was an In
novatien. 1t is new idea in our con-
servative town for women to address
open air meetings.
But u spite of all this, in spite of
the frequent interruptions by one man.
the meeting was success and closed
with the attention of the good sized
crowd on the speakers, not on the per-
son who, avowedly, was there for the
purpose Of breaking up the meeting.
wish to speak word in defense of
women addressing crowds In this way,
The state legislature recently passed a
suffrage bill, but with a referendum
clause, thereby shifting the burden
back % MS, and said to MS in fact
Now its up to you--educate the voter
we give you the task and privilege.
TO do this we must get at the voter 1t
is Of no avail TO hold meetings inside,
only the believer will attend. 1t is the
non-behever, the Indifferent man we
must reach and appeal to.
The women in charge and those sent
out by the Suffrage Leagues of the
state are fine, womanly women, worthy
the respect of man.
1t seems strange, and cannot epass-
ed without comment, that the one man
who made himself so obnoxious was
our ex marshall, ex-deputy sheriff,
whose many oaths of office should have
indelibly instilled in him the fundemen-
tai principles of peace and order and
that the first duty of officer and man is
to queli, not create disturbance,
Comparisons are always odious--but
| cannnt resist comparing the superior
intelligence and good nature of the
speakers to the lack of these qualities
in our one time peace officer. Surely
this argues well for our cause.
We are glad at all times to listen to
anu answer sane arguments but we
beg the protection of our cities man
hood from drunken rowdyism.
We are very grateful to the men In
our audience Saturday evening who
took tile ex-official in hand.
Suffrage is a live issue and must be
settled bY the voters of Wisconsin in
1912. Ii is our task TO bring the light
to yon.
i nstsber Of the league vouch
for tile broadness OF mind or my fellow
citizens. | trust that other meetings
held here for this, or any other cause,
will be free from disturbance

CHILDREN OF THE DRAGONS
TEETH.

The old fable of the man who
sowed dragons teeth which sprans
up in armed men is being reproduced
in the life of the American people
In press dispatch which relates the
outlawry of couple of brothers in
a southern state, there appears the
statement that mobs have killed thelr
father and the son of one of the men
That such blood lust is possible where
Negroes are the victims, inevitably
means that it is probable where Ne
groes are not concerned.
NO one can read the record of lynch
law in this country in the past 80
years, without knowing that such law
lessness would make its impress on
American character. Wrong doing
against the weak begets weakness in
the doer. Murder, under the guise of
Furnishing by mob law, is the destroy
er of respect for human life. Lynch
law originally practiced against Ne
groes has it's legitimate progeny in
the holocaust of blood that day by
day profanes our nation. Father,
mother, wife, husband, friend, and
even the inoffensive stranger, none
are safe. Even with all te technical
administration of the law that lets
many guilty persons escape, the hand
writing on the wall still proclaims
America counted and found wanting.
Our great material wealth, our gen.
ius for business and for government
can scarcely outweigh our disregard
for right. The crumbling of the
foundations presages the fall of the
whole building America, originally
the home of the oppressed, the land
of liberty, possesses no immunity
from the effects of wrong doing any
more than the rest of humanity. 1t
must pay it's debt of blood with blood.
For every worm it has crushed be-
meath its iron heel. 1t must offer UP
the life of its choicest. The savage.
brutal, primevael instincts it has nur-
tured will be garnered in a bountifal
harvest from the dragons teeth.
The black boy burned at Limon 12
years ago may have deserved some
punishment. But there can be no
doubt that the disregard shown for
his life, the inhuman cruelty with
which he was put to death, still ex-
list; they still goad the people of Colo
RADIO on to bloody deeds until not a
day passes without them. Worst of
all, public conscience is dead! We
are not ashamed that it is SO!
The poor Negro may humbly thank
God that, ignorant though he has
been, possibly at some times Grim
inal, yet he has not suffered one Of
us to be unjustly treated without a
terrible visitation upon the oppressor.

ABOUT SOCIAL EQUALITY

In the response to the governor 'oi
Colorado to the National Negro Edn-
cational Congress, held in Denver
August IA, 1911, the writer said in
part as follows:
1T is not social equality that we
seek; we abhor the mere expression
of social equality as the average white
man sees it. We ask no special Ia
vors, but we do ask square deal to
make opportunities to be men,"
Now, the September Crisis" refers
to this as speech made by a colored
physician of Kansas City in which he
protests that he does not want social
equality. Then your excellent journal
cites its readers to its comment IN
