A LETTER FROM SEN. cIAPP.
In Reply to congratulations" From
Atty. Scrutehin Of 6emidji.

UNITED STATES SENATE.
Washington, September 9Th, 1913.
Mr.. Charles w. Scrutchin,
Bemidji, MINI.
Dear Mr.. Scrutchin:
Your letter Of the 18th inst. was re-
ceived, but owing to the absence OF my
stenographer, 1t has been impossible
to keep up with correspondence.
It is hard for me to understand the
effort that is being made to keep the
black race down and that is the ef-
fort. There is no opposition, no hos
tility, no ill-feeling toward the black
ma mas long as he will remain ignorant
and do nothing to advance himself
The opposition is to his acquiring In
telligence and improving himself and
that, too, in a country where. In the
last analysis, the permanency Of our
institutions has to rest on the intel
ligence and development Of the people.
The progress which the race has
made is simply marvellous and do not
believe it can be stopped in tina ND.
ward, progressive movement, although
an effort is being made just now to
turn back the hands Of the clock.
This spring it became evident an
effort was being made in some OF the
departments to segregate the race.
This was done in part by gradually
shifting them so as to put the colored
clerks in rooms by themselves and by
posting up notices in the toilet rooms
requiring the use Of separate rooms.
I think no written order was ever
made for the segregation in their
work. It would hardly have been done
in that way.
introduced a resolution Of inquiry
and the notices have been taken
down, but the work Of segregation
goes on. Clerks are given to under
stand, in one way or another, that It
is better If they use this room or that
room, and 1t is going to be hard mat.

About the time introduced the
resolution Senator Johnston died. His
colleague, Senator Bankhead, who is
chairman Of the committee to which
the resolution was referred, was
necessarily absent some time and the
bringing on Of the tariff has taken all
the time Of the Senate. AS soon az
the time seems opportune. am going
to try to press the matter.
With regards, I am,
Very truly yours.

ONWARD AND UPWARD.

In the busy everyday life that con-
fronts us, we find that we must keep
moving with the masses, rushed on
with the ceaseless flow, the numerous
multitudes, into the endless ocean OF
time. We cannot find an excuse
reasonable enough, with enough pre-
vailing strength or tactful manage
ing to relinquish us from the throng.
We much 60 on on on till our race Is
run, our course is finished and our
end is reached. This then being true,
why lag? Why pull back or merely
content ourselves to just drift with
the tide? A life of ease and luxury Is
often envied in the neighbor, who
though having the privilege Of choice.
chooses the way Of pleasure and for
getfulness, rather than that Of duty
and right.
When sowing our seed in the early
Spring. we expect them to take root
and grow with a healthfulness and
vigor that fills our hearts with pride
and admiration. Likewise were we
set on this old earth to grow and
spread our very best throughout the
world, developing into all that God
Almighty intended that we should be.
We are born to live. and to live means
to be active, earnest, glowing, ener.
getic. There Is SO much for us to do,
and each has his own share Of indi
vidual work that no other can perform
To stand back and criticise those
who are trying, does not give the
cause another support, nor the grumb
ling critic an additional star in his
crown.
How greived we feel for the pool
men who hopelessly looks at his sur
parched garden, waiting for 1t to rain
while a great deep we'll of cool clear
water, stands at his very door. Wha
God has given us let US use, climbing
on and up, reaching out, taking a.
many as possible with US on our way
and removing as many Of the heavy
boulders as we can from the road a!

pie and our race better and stronger

THE BLOOD LUST OF THE MOB.

THE BLOOD LUST OF THE MOB.
st. Paul Dispatch Sept II. 1918.
Just recently a negro was lynched
by a mob at Greenville, Georgia. The
very next day 1t was announced that
the negro's innocence had been COM
pletely proved, the real culprit having
been apprehended and confessed.
The mob that destroyed an innocent
man will 60 its way undisturbed, yet
1t committed hot.blooded murder with
out justification. -,
It is q fine commentary upon the
law and upon the ability Of men to
govern themselves.
It is especially an Illuminating com.
mentary on the whole race-hatered
movement. It indicates that the real
desire is to lynch q negro and not
particularly to punish the man guilty
of crime. It shows how debased a
man can become through hatred, and
makes one pause and wonder whether
civilization may work its way out on
this continent when such savagery can
dominate whole communities Of men.
Mob murder is forse than individual
murder, and yet 1t is seldom punished.
In this case an innocent citizen, sup
posed to have the protection Of the
law, was ruthlessly slaughtered to
make a holiday for a frenzied. shout
ing mass Of half-crazed men, drunk
with lust for blood through fostering
Of race hatred. Nothing can undo that
crime. nothing give back that life.
Yet the law complacently beholds
these maniacs proceeding about their
business and makes no effort to ap.
prehend them for their awful crime.
It seems Inevitable that some day
the government itself will have to de.
wise a way to prevent this disregard
of law and justice and decency If com.
munities are unwilling or helpless.
The foregoing editorial, which we
republish in its entirety, strikes right
at the root of the mob murder and is
one Of the very best that we have
seen. We hope it will bear good
fruit.-The Appeal.
