justice and fair play for ALL We do
not believe in capital punishment for
any crime, under any circumstances,
and we certainly do not believe that
a mob of men can possibly be justi-
fled, either by God or by fair-minded
men, when they take the law in their
own hands and murder a man-mainly
because his Creator saw fit to allow
him to be born with a. black skin.
Does anybody think for one instant
that King Davis, the Afro-Ameri-
can, aged % years, who was taken
from the jail at Brooklyn, a suburb of
Baltimore, early Christmas morning,
and shot to death by small body of
unidentified men, would have been so
murdered had he been white? He had
shot and killed a white man Saturday
night, but had been arrested and
placed in Jail and was entitled to a
fair, impartial trial. The men who
took him out and killed him were as
guilty as he, but punishment to fit
their crime will never be melted out to

This is not to say that Holsters grew

K ANSAS CITY, Kan-There is in
IA this city "a woman, still young
whose ambition was born when she
was an unsophisticated country girl
of 10, who did not know what failure
meant, and who came to the city and
made fortune in open competition
with shrewd fnanciers and daring
spectators.
Annie J. Scott, penniless orphan
was sent to a farm In Lafayette coun.
ty, Mo-, when she was years old, as
nursemaid and "help.' The success
of a neighbours child melted her to
study and save money, so that she
might attend the Warrensburg Nor.
NAL school. She MIXED COWS, sold
butter and saved $50 Then she went
to Warrensburg and worked her way
in three years through the normal
school, graduating in 1894.
Her first ambition was to become a
missionary, but she became i'll and
was cared for at the German Hospital
in Kansas City, There she deter
mined to be doctor, and in 1897 en-
