Uncle Sans Bare-Legged Soldiers

there were 4,130 men and 296 officers
at last report. This constabulary had
its origin in the Filipino scouts that
were organized during the war of &C.
cupat1on. The scouts readily adopted
the methods Of the Americans and
showed themselves easily amenable to
discipline. With them as basis, the
force has been gradually increased un-
til members of the constabulary are
to be found in nearly all parts of the
island, and have come to be as much
depended upon to keep order as are
the American troops.
The Filipino boys are taken when
they know nothing of the English Ian
guage and little of civilized life. They
are provided with shelter and food
and get small wages. There is a
scramble to get into the service. BY
nature these Malay Monaghan races
are great imitators. When they see
thing done once they can come near
it.
The Filipino is being found to be
an excellent fighter. There have been
instances when led by an American
officer these troops have charged for
titled positions with a resulting death
percentage as high as 40 and have re-
fused to give up the charge.

HELLISH COLOR PREJUDICE.

TO what contemplate depths does
the hellish color prejudice of some
white men lead them! 1t is under
stood that the executive committee of
the American Bar Association has de.
cided to GUST Hon. William H. Lewis,
Assistant Attorney General of the
United States, from membership in the
bar association.
1t is claimed by members of the
committee that they did not know that
Mr.. Lewis was an Afro-American when
he was elected, all of which is mis-
statement of facts.
The action of the committee has
aroused Attorney General Wickersham
and he has sent spirited letter to
each of the 400 members of the as

mlttee with an arrogance of power I'M
warranted by the body's constitution

such discrimination.
All honor to Attorney General Wick

AS so many hundreds of thousands of
supposedly 'pure-blooded white men,

How Congressman Became an Indian

N the Office of Representative Steen-
/ erson of Minnesota hangs a pipe of
peace and hatchet-once buried-that
are mementoes OF the time Steiner

dams.
Stevenson was a grown man at the
time of the adoption. He had never
become regular Indian. He had done
several favors for the Chippewas and
they made him member Of the tribe,
just as a college might bestow an
IL. D. When it came to the actual
comforting of the tribal title there
were war dances, smoking of the pipe
Of peace, burying the Ratchet, and
much more merry doings that made
STEVENSON think what fine thing it
would be if the Elks and the Knights
Templars could arrange to hold a
joint grand lodge meeting. Jolly as it
all was, the Indians were as solemn
as If they had just spent several
months previous standing in front OF
cigar stores.
Toward the close of the exercises
the chief walked toward STEVENSON
and proceeded to invest him with a
wampum belt, or surcingle, that

Any old excuse will do so that the
inhuman southerners may indulge in
their most delightful pastime of lynch
ing ASro-Americans. On last Tuesday,
near Marshall, Tex, George Sanders
and Mary Jackson were taken from
their home and hanged by mob of
unidentified CD brutes in human form
because they chad lived in the same
rouse with Tennie Sneed" who shot
and killed Paul Strange, a white man,
January 20. They used to claim they
seldom resorted to lynching except
for assaults or alleged assaults upon
white women, but now any sort of
excuse will do. It seems strange that
these superior race" people are so
heartless. If God is just, and we be-
lieve He is, they are heaping up wrath

1t has been more or less asserted by
scientists and others that both Adam
and Jesus Christ were not white,
which, of course, is easy to believe,
when one thinks of the fact that even
at the present time only about one
eight of the population of the world
is white. But now comes a Theoso-
phist D. S. M. Unger of Chicago, who
declares he knows for a fact that
Christ is coming back to earth within
the next twenty years. Says Mr..
Unger: whenever nation or the
world really needs a great leader, he
turns up. The world is sadly in need
of a great religious leader these days
and so I know Christ is coming back
within the next twenty years. And,
in order that humanity may have no
trouble in being certain of the pres
ence of Christ, he will have a brown
body"
Well, if Christ returns to this earth
brown in color, there are people in
the United States who will not accept
him.
