CORONATION OF KING
CORN WITH IMPERIAL
POMP AT PALACE CITY
Thirteenth Annual Maize Festi.
val Opens Royalty at
Mitchell Today.

Mitchell. S. D., Sept. 26.-The corn
palace today formally opened for
the 18th time is the handsomest and
most attractive building of any OF
previous years. The designs are
of Egyptian character, and brought in
to brilliancy through the splendid coll
orings of the corn which has been
used so tremendously. This is the
work of Floyd ellis, a young man OF
this city, who has decorated his thiro
building for Mitchell.
One of the strong features of palace
week Is the decoration OF the exterior
of the building and many of the peo-
pie are impressed as much with the
work outside as they are with the
agricultural exhibits inside. The archi-
lecture of the building is so designed
as 70 admit of fine decorations, and the
artist has been highly successful In
presenting a magnificently decorated
building for the visitors to enjoy
throughout the week.

Gunnell. Secretary Of the Grand
Lodge of the knights of Pythias OF
Missouri is to be deplored by all.
Whatever the misunderstanding was,
it could have been adjusted in some
way without resorting to blows or to
the use of deadly weapons. If Mr..
Robinson attacked Mr.. Gunnell, as
it is claimed he did, he is not a fit
man for the high position he holds.
Such a character would serve as a
milestone ON the neck of the whole
order, and on the other hand if Mr..
Gunnell conducted himself in such a
way as to provoke Mr. Robinson to as
sault him, he, Mr. Gunnell, is rot the
man to be Secretary of the Grand
Lodge of Missouri. We need strong
and courageous men in public office.
With the opposition that is con-
fronting the Negro societies in this
country, We cannot afford to have
officials who so far forget themselves
as to butcher up one another.
We do not agree with the conten-
ton that the acts of Robinson and
Gunnell put the whole Negro race on
trial. They have put themselves only
on trial. The remainder of the ten
millions of Negroes had nothing to do
with their row, and will not be meas
ured by their mistakes. 1t is a
false notion too often expressed by
the Negro press and too generally be-
lieved by the Negro people that when
one Negro gets in difficulty the
whole ten million of us are under
condemnation. Such nonsense is a
full acceptance of the charge that
all Negroes are the same. We must
that weakness. Every
Negro must stand for himself or fall
for himself as an individual. We
regret that the difficulty has oc-
Cured, but We do not feel that Ne
groes should go marching up to the
court ten millions strong because Rob-
inson and Gunnell are settling their
Observation-Disclosures there.
