goes to show that this thing of color
prejudice is found everywhere, north,

over, it shows that unless the great
bulk of black folks is reached more
thoroughly by the softening influence
OF education and Christianity, this pre-
judice will be unconfined and uncon-
trollable. After all, in most instances,
it is not the color primarily that works
against the race in the matter of com
mon justice and ordinary accommoda-
tions, it is the disgusting lack of de-
corum. the boisterousness, the lack of
everyday refinement and the general
"cussedness" that characterizes ever
more of a very great number of the

The spirit of missionary work
among the Africans in Africa is far
from dead among the white church

long ago large number of white mis-

to Africa. but the most part for Asia;

During the coming summer will oc-
cur the semi-centennial of President
Lincoln's proclamation freeing the
African slaves held in the southern
states. The freedmen of so years ago
were as poor as poverty could be, and
as ignorant as darkest Africa. During
the summer the African race dwelling
in southern California will hold a gol-
den jubilee, and it is claimed that
$4,000 of them will participate. At a
meeting held in Los Angeles late in
December, one of the leaders at the
meeting held to plan for the jubilee
made the announcement that the ne
groes of the United States number
12.OO0,000. They have proved in the
main industries, thrifty and law abid-
ing beyond anything that might rea-
sonably have been expected from a
race SO long held in bondage. If in
the 30 years they make as much ma
terial, intellectual and moral progress
as in the first half century of their
freedom, they will do much to dis
abuse the popular mind of it's preju
dice against the black race.

There have been great many
negroes in the past fifty years who
neglected to protect their rights in
their inventions, and have died poor
and unknown. The story is often
told of one such New Yorker who in
vented many of the earlier railroad car
appliances while employed by a GER
tain railroad, but, failing to protect
any of them, was defrauded of his
rights and died in poverty. Such
cases are always tragically pathetic

Woodrow Wilson, being historian
as well as a statesman, undoubtedly
has familiarized himself with the life
history of the only man who ever in
Vaded Mexico and stayed there.
This unfortunate gentleman's
name is fernando Cortez. The Mex
leans had no guns or armor, and
Cortez had both. The Mexicans
thought Cortez a god, and this
was handicap in the fighting
the Mexicans. The Spaniards under
Cortez had horses-a new and fear3
some thing to the Aztecs. Cortez had
several hundred of the best soldieTy
in the world; but, with all these adj
vantages, he would have been killed
and his army annihilated if it had not
been for one thing, with the history
of which our astute president is per-
fectly familiar. -..
Cortez found one faction of the
Aztecs anxious to fight another fac
ton, and he let the Mexicans whip
one another. He helped one side, and
when the invasion was over he ruled
both sides.
A Paris newspaper tells the world
that the powers of Europe should
make it known to the United States
that humanity has nothing to gain
from armed intervention in Mexico
by us. Evidently Europeans. are quite
without any understanding of the
characters of Woodrow Wilson and
William Jennings Bryan. They seem
to believe that their hostility to Huer-
ia and his methods implies armed
hostility unless Huerta yields.
A great many Americans are
equally ready to rank Wilson and
Bryan among those diplomats who
talk one thing and mean another.
ALI these people are misled by the
fact that they cannot believe in the

president WILSON WILL SHOW HUERTA A
TRICK WITHOUT USING A SINGLE SOLDIER"

Iney nave SAID Ihey mean.
They have said that there will be
no armed intervention in Mexico; and
the Paris paper and Europeans in
general will do well to believe them.
Wilson has so acted that most Amer
leans have left Mexico, and those re-
naming have decided to take their
chances there, no matter what hap
pens. The government is now strip
ped for aetion-but the action will
not be Intervention.
Huerta will probably continue to
defy the United States. The wages
of a Mexican president are very good
and Lord Cowdray is said to be
sending money for Huerta's pur-
poses. Doubtless HueTta's purposes
comprise a fat bank account some
where on the continent against the
inevitable rainy day. Such is the way
of dictators.
Huerta's defiances and insults will
not move Washington to revenge or
punitive measures. Intervention
would make Huerta national hero
instead of an assassin-usurper. 1t
would prolong the period during
which he could make those deposits
abroad of Cowdray's money. He is
a stormy petrol, and the storm can
not blow too wildly for him, so long
as it does not engulf him. He may
even declare war on the United
States as a means of prolonging the
fruitful period of management of
Mexican taxes, duties and loans.
But even should he declare war,
there is no reason to expect that Will
son will send a single soldier into
Mexican territory. Wilson will be apt
to show him a trick worth two of
that. He will doubtless refuse to
recognize Huerta's authority to de-
clare war. A bandit cannot. declare
war so as to bind the Mexican peo-
pie. We should merely laugh at Huer-
ia, and still regard the people of Mex

at the Bes Theatre.

I'm the Bishops Carriage" the ia
nous story published by The Bobbs-
Merrill Co., upon which a very sue
cessful and popular play has been
based, will be shown by the Famous
Picture Film Company, at the Best
theatre, Tuesday, November %. The
film version of this noted subject pre-
sents Mary Pickford in the absorj
role of Nance, who with Fate as
stage director plays many strange
parts, until she eventually adopts a
role that leads to love and happiness.
The play is fascinating d. anna OF
the underworld that approaches
trad gedy and ends in romance.
The story, as told in the pictures,
introduces Nance Olden as an inmate
of the Charity House. Falsely accus-
ed of theft and cruelty punished, she
decides to rid herself forever of the
matrons persecution. Pursued by
the police, she takes refuge in the
room of Tom Dorgan, the crook,
where later he finds her. Both

common lot inspires them to estab-

Nance is again rescued from the
police by the timely intervention OF
Obermuller, a theatrical manager,
who is impressed with her mimic tai
ents and who offers her position on
the stage and chance to travel the
straight road. Now occurs d bitter
contest between Dorgan and Ober-
muller for the loyalty OF Nance,
which is eliminated by the arrest
and conviction of Tom. Nance's ad-
miration for 0bermuller rippens into
a requited love, and she attains fame
and fortune as an actress. And then
a shadow of the past crosses her
path, Tom escapes and returns to
her; but his purposes is defeated by
Obermuller. Only once more is she
tempted by the old fascination; only
once more she steals-and then she
