1t was shown at the meeting OF the
commission that Commissioners wilcox.
AlcCarroli and Eustis alone favor the
bal. while Commissioners Cram and
Xaitbie made II clear that they are op-
posed to II.
At the conference with the Mayor Pres

When the members of. the Public Ser
vice Commission convened. Commits
sioner Cram said: 1t 10 stated In the

1t lines. I think It should have been
stated that the public service corpora

0ission approved the measure. The bill
has not been before this commission

should know that fact"

HOT TIME FOR DELlNQUENTS.

We clip the following from one of
our exchanges to warn our delinquent
subscribers what a hot time they will
have if they fail to pay their news
paper bills. The same fate awaits
our slow-paying advertisers:
"An editor who died of starvation
was being escorted to Heaven by an
angel sent for that purpose. May I
just glance in at the other place be-
fore we ascend to eternal happiness?' ?''
So they went below and skirmishing
around, taking in the sights. It so
happened that the angel lost track of
the editor and went around Hades
hunting him. He found him sitting
by an enormous furnace, tanning him
self and gazing with rapture upon
a crowd of lost souls in the fire. Over
the furnace was sign bearing the
words, Delinquent subscribers. +"

INTEREST IN SEGREGATION,

If there is need of evidence to con-
vince any one of the growth of race
prejudice in this country it may be
found in the widespread interest in
segregation of the races in cities.
The plan of restricting Afro-Ameri-
cans to certain neighborhoods has
been adopted in many of the smaller
cities of the South, but Baltimore is
the largest city in which the plan has
been enacted into law.
Samuel L. West, who enjoys the un-
enviable distinction of being the au-
thor of the Infamous West segrega-
tion ordinance, announces that he has
sent copies of his race segregation
law from the Atlantic to the Pacific
oceans. He says that there is a de-
'pand for information from every part
of the country and he is kept busy
sending copies and replying to ques-
tions about the working of the law.
The law works injustice to both races,
but West seems to glory in his in

SATURDAY, JUNE %, 1912.
NOW, WHAT DO you THINK OF
THAT?

1t has been generally supposed that
no white man is ever punished for
anything he does to a black one in
the South. But get that idea out of
your mind. Away down in Alabama
a white jury has actually convicted
two white men of murder in the first
degree, for killing one black man; and
has given third one, connected with
the killing, life Imprisonment. And
that, too, in Jefferson county, where
for ten years it has been impossible
to convict anyone of first degree mur-
der These murderers enticed the
black man to the woods and shot him
to death, and concealed the body. AS
their victim was only a black man, he
was not missed, and although that
was about a year ago, it was only re-
Gently that the crime was discovered.
1t was also discovered that the mur-
derers had seven other killings to
their credit. Most of their victims
were shot from ambush, some for
grievances, others to close their
mouths; one for the purpose of rob-
berry and one lust for fun" Murder
in Jefferson county has been a weekly
incident for twenty years, and that
region became known as "Bloody Beat
%" The good people of that COM
munity have just woke up, and as there
are more than dozen prisoners in
the county Jail charged with murder,
it may be that others will get their
just deserts. To which We say, amen!

Lynching cannot be classed as an
accident. Everywhere in the South
and in a few localities in the North,
it is fixed policy to lynch Afro
Americans charged with crime
At the general assembly of the
Southern Presbyterian church, at
Bristol, Tenn, there were majority
and minority reports on marriage and
divorce. Both reports urged against
permitting polygamists to enter the
church, either in this or foreign lands.
No action was taken regarding the
thousands of Southerners who have
lived polygamous lives with Caucasian
and colored women. Many Southern
churchmen consider crossing the color
line in this way perfectly proper.
