lence. A favorite form of viciousness
among those men was to collect a
gang of young negroes and make a
speech, in which their trend was
something like this;
My dear brethren, for over a hun
bred years you have been abused and
downtrodden. and it is time that you
were compensated. Your wishes shall
be law; you are the equals of all about
you, socially and legally"
The negroes believed such talk, and
as a result, the three years following
the close of the civil war are three
huge blots on the honor of the United
States. according to the writer who is
not a Democrat, either.
In the Kansas house of representa-
tives yesterday. the highly respected
Robert Stone. Shawnee county repre-
sentative, made speech which lacked
only a few words of being a repetition
of the carpetbagger speeches. He did
not exactly invite the dark brothers and
equals to pick out their white wives and
avoid the rush, but he held that, be-
cause the negroes had been downtrod-
den and held in bondage for over 200
years, they we're now entitled to some
consideration. and that any law to pre-
vent them from intermarrying with
whites was a slam at their personal lib
erty. Rub that on your cigar and
smoke it, you race purists-a slam at
the personal liberty of the dark
brother. Mr.. Stone made that talk,
while admitting that the respectable
negroes and respectable whites did not
intermarry and that it was only the
lower crust of each race that would be
affected by the bill in question. He
failed to explain just how the law
could affect respectable members Of
either race. and forgot to recite the case
of the Topeka negro who married a
white woman and lived with her in
sight of the county court house until
she committed suicide. He made a po-
litical issue of the bill. and brought
about party vote, and tainted his
Democratic colleague with a threat of
eradication at the hands of the col
ored voters.
The bill in question was introduced
by Mr.. Herr. the young man with the

sequence. Just look over the minority

FEW WOMEN VIOLIN
MAKERS IN WORLD

There are few women or girl violin
makers in the world. One OF them lives
in New York. She is but twenty years
old and is a Hungarian by birth Re-
ferring to her work she says: I spent
most of my time in my fathers shop
watching him make viOlins. I used to
make little things from the scraps OF
wood he discarded.

work. and when I was twelve years old

was practically perfect. We were then

The wood this girl maker Of violins
uses comes all the way from Hungary
1t is a variety of maple, in which the
grain is very dense. The wood is more
than 200 years old. The wood in vtolins
must be thoroughly seasoned before It IS
used in the making OF violin. Violin
making is something that requires in
finite patience, and it takes this girl
long time to make one of her instru-
ments speak correctly" as she calls
