Gated and refined; the minister, the
teacher, the DOCTOR the wealthy
business class; in fact all who have
plenty and who hold high stations
in life; these men work that they
may have the greatest pleasure that
human genius can provide. Yet when
these men are mistreated as they
are in the courts, punished for no
crime in the true sense Of the term,
nobody lifts a voice of protestation.
1t is a disgrace to our civilization to
have these conditions exist. It is a
blot upon Christianity to suffer these
men to stay in camp year in and
year out and never hear the gospel.
In the great judgment day when
those whose duty it is to point out
way to a higher and better life
shall come up to be judged of their
stewardship, and when it shall be
said unto them, II was in prison and
you visited me not" the thought will
come to many that l could have

was in the railroad camps, and was
from there carried into prison and

1t requires courage to fight the
battles of humanity, and yet it mus

conserved. We must not allow it tn

Sheriff. The little boys were too
young to be given even a work house
sentence and could only be sent to
the State Reformatory. The officers
may have been justified under the
law in making the arrest, but If
they were we question the wisdom
of such law. 1t is a common thing
for men who work in railroad camps
to play cards and shoot craps; no
one knows this better than deputy
sheriff, and they lay plans to swoop
down upon a large portion of these
men and place them under arrest,
AS a rule the boss man of the
camp will put up the money for their
release or will go their bond; the
men are fined and the boss man pays
the fine and takes it out of their
wages.
In many cases when these arrests
are made two or three may be play
ing craps and forty or fifty standing
around, some having no thought OF
gambling, and no knowledge that
gambling is going on. Many times
some are looking en-, as it is the most
natural thing for men to do when
any kind of a game is being played
in their presence; under such cir
cumstances it does not seem fair
that these men should be arrested,
chained and marched through the
street as cattle; and even little boys
of ten years arrested with them and
marched through the streets and
locked in prison and may become
hardened criminals, simply because
two or three men decide to waste
their money by gambling it away.
These men are hard laborers, they
may be indiscreet, but they are not
all criminals. Being miles away
from home and friends and in a lone
ly railroad camp, where life is most
miserable under the best conditions
the human heart seeks some kind
of relief from the daily toll The
railroad managers make no provision
for their comfort church people and
Christian workers are not encouraged
to visit their camps, and so what
must the poor fellows do? Weary
from hard toll they easily fall vic
tim to an invitation to play craps
The Deputy Sheriff watches for these
| opportunities, and when the crow(
gathers and the game is in progress
they swoop down upon them and they
arrest every man in sight; they arr
carried to prison, fined, and upol
their release they are allowed to re
turn to their work to pay back tn
fine. 1t is a pitiful condition AM
| yet, who cares?
I Somebody ought to care; thes
men are human beings; they toll da

FRIDAY, AUGUST %, 1918.
Howse and Cooper.

f1oWSe ana cooper
Mr.. Noah w. Cooper, who is before /
the people of this city for the Of
fee of Mayor, says he was born in
South Carolina, the home Of Ben
Tillman, who bears the distinction of
being one of the most rabid Negro
h3ters who has ever set in the United
States Senate. We do not say that
Mr.. Cooper is of the same makeup
as Senator Tillman. Mr.. Cooper's
record in this city would entirely
erast every stamp of Tillmanism, but
he says he was born in South
Carolina. Negroes Of Nashville arel
familiar with, the declaration that
he loves the memory OF his "old
black nanny" This is one Of Mr.,
CoOper's strong points. 1t is a mat
ten Of record, however, that GER
tain society in this state on one &C.
casion was forced to change its char,
ter Mr.. Cooper was consulted about
this affair and he made the modest
charge of $500 for his services. We
suppose it was worth every penny Of
that amount, but it does seem that
a man with genuine sympathy might
have done the job for much less. 1t
appeared to be pretty big price for
such services, as the members are
more or less poor, but they arc hon
est and industrious, believing what a
white man says, especially If he has
the ability to base his conditions on
the Bible, and this we all know Mr..
Cooper can do. In fact, he has prom
ised to run this city government
from Biblical standpoint which is
to be admired. Whether 1t is pic,
tured or not, Mr. Cooper is making
great many promises. In days
that have passed and gone this same
thing was done, but the people have
not forgotten about these promises
and how they were broken. How
hands became tiled"
The present Mayor, Hon. ii. T.
Howse, has been the Chief Executive
of this city four years We challenge
any man to cite Were he has made
n promise to the Negro citizens tha
he has not endeavored to carry out
We do not say that all of them haVt
been carried out, but we do say tina
Mayor Howse has striVen to carr,
them out and in most cases he ha
done 50.
Every school teacher in this cit
knows that the vacation salary wa
begun for them at the same time
was for the white teachers. Tn
same is true as regards free tex
books; we remember the recommel
dation for colored nurse; we kno
of the purchasing Of Hadley Park an
we know how hard Mayor How'
worked to have the State Norm
located here, and for the provisic
Of Carnegie Library; and we kno
further that Mayor Howse favors
High School for Negroes located
a respectable section of the city, al
we have just cause to believe tn
if he is reelected Mayor that
will still favor all Of these thin
and we have just cause to belle
that he will do more than any nj
running for the Office to bring the
things to pass.
Reducing the thing to its fiji
analysis, the question is this: WI
is to the best interest of the Neg
citizens Of Nashville, to have a may

who has no record in a like capacit
