Retribution has overtaken Wyoming
quickly. A few days ago it was the
scene of a most ineXcusable lynching.
The tender hearts and high moral
tone of Wyoming convicts could not
bear the nearness of a Negro accused
of rape. They lynched him inside the
prison walls. Now comes a savage
outbreak in the same prison, the same
convicts laying aside their acute sens
Utilities, and numbering their keepers
in cold blood. Some of them who are
still at large have terrorized the state
and armed men and militia ar the or
der of the day in Wyoming. The kill
ing of the black prisoner stirred up
no one, but the legitimate outgrowth
of the savagery that caused his death
which now causes this outbreak, in
terests everybody. The sad thing is
that Wyoming does not see that it
cannot reap benefits from a crop of
hate.

JOHNSON is GETTING TO BE A
SERIOUS HANDICAP.

Jack johnson received some symp-
athy in the tragic death of his wife.
He now seems in a fair way to forfeit
all that and more by his entangle-
.nent with another white woman. 1t
is g, sordid tale of slum life which is
heralded in the daily press involving
this pugilist. If he were just white,
so that no criticism might attach to
our race for what he does, we would
not be so interested. But as it is, he
has reached the place through the
manner in which the daily press her
aids his escapades where he is a dis
tinct burden to us in our struggles.
If he had about him no glamour of a
championship, and was simply the
keeper OF a cafe and saloon, the color
question would not intrude itself SO
forcibly. He would be far more pop
ular among us, as well as with white
people, if he would live quietly and
stop making an unholy show of him
self.

Being editor of the Statesman and
also being the nominee referred to,
we feel embarrassed about giving
space to communications sent us for
publication which commend us and
urge general support for us in the
election Nov. 5. Were the candidate

the suspicion of self exaltation; were
the publisher some one else, it would
be the same. As it is, we are deeply
grateful 10 those who wish us well
and take this means OF letting the
public know that they have wished us
success.
Especially do we thank Mrs A S.

The Withdrawal of the invitation to
a colored organization to participate
in the mask parade is hard to account
for First of all, no moral or social
lines have been drawn among the
white participants. In fact, the quot
ed statements of the chief OF police
make it clear that the managers ex-
pect some immoral and possibly some
immoral participants. Negroes can
be no worse than the latter. The
more one sees of such inconsistencies
as these, the more he wonders if the
violence done to fair play and con
sistency in order to maintain separa-
ton of the races, is not the best proof
OF the recognition of the oneness OF
all mankind.

Training School Makes Progress.
Or, Powell Chief Speaker.

Washington. - The National
. Training School For Women
. and Girls in this city dVdicated
its new modern dormitory build
ing on Wednesday evening, Oct.
D. with appropriate exercises.
The institution is directed by
. Miss Mamie Helen Burroughs,
whose efficient leadership as
. president has been wonderfully
. blessed with large results. The
principal address at the dedica-
. tory ceremonies was delivered
: by the Rev. DR.. A. Clayton Pow
. ell, the well known lecturer and
: successful pastor of the Abys-
. sinian Baptist church in New
York.
The subject of DR.. Powelrs ad-
dress was The Molding Intlu-
. ence of Woman" He said in
part:
Woman is the material mas
terpiece of Gods creative genius,
. the mother of our nations and
. the queen of our homes. Under
. her benignant Christian int1u-
. ence the dove of domestic peace
. tlutters in the sunshine of love,
. and the marriage altar becomes
: as sacred as the oracles of God.
No race can rise higher than its
: homes, and no home can rise
higher than its mother, BY the
very virtue of the situation wo-
man is the home maker. The
husband is away all day at work
. and all night at the lodge or
. club. The home is therefore
. left under the molding influence
. of the mother.
Most people have mistaken
. idea or what constitutes home.
: When we see fine house
handsomely furnished, surround
: ed by an artistically shaped
!. lawn. we say. What beautiful
: home This may or may not
!. be home. Brick houses, bay
! windows. fine rugs. brass beds,
!. birdseye maple. costly drapery,
! fine works of art, do not make
: home. God bless the homes that
!. can afford them, but you can
: have home without any of
!. them. A Christian mother, an
!. open Bible, a family altar where

/. This kind of a home Is rap

/ try in general and from the

be increased to 1000 Negro farmers.
In addition to this work having for
it's object the aiding of the Negro
