The Negro Baptist churches, writes
a Chicago correspondent, face diff
cult moral and social problem in the
life of the, community. 1t is only fair
to say that much of this condition has
been forced upon them The worst
side of the city has been left for
them, and their principal street was
for a long time the prolongation of
our White Hell'' where is permitted
barter in human bodies. 1t is not
strange that over seven thousand five
hundred negro men are employed in
saloons and pool-rooms, or that their
chief arterial street which stands in
the very center of their social and
business life, is just 'one saloon after
another"
The influences of these demoraliz-
ing institutions upon their moral life,
as we'll as other familiar and local
institutions Of even lower type, is
indescribable. We wonder If the negro
youth trained in the religion of his
home church far away. or even the
youth of the present city churches, is
trained to meet this. We are told
that many of the people who come
here were taught that religion was
chiefly a state of personal joy and
happiness. Anything that made them
happy was allied to religion. The
idea of the moral restraints and the
social securities that are born of true
religion are not sufficiently empha-
sized. To be happy, to be joyful, is
to be religious, and to be secure.
What field of easy failure must
open up before such young life
when transferred to the gaily-lighted
streets, the challenging music of sa-
looms and cafes, and the richly
dressed women of the street; and
how easily the traps may be set for
a life that measures religion chiefly in
terms of feeling, and falls away from
its institutions and practises the mo-
ment that inner joy and happiness
seems to be broken on the anvil of
failure.

Pageant committee at WORK.

Denver.-The committee in charge
of the Indian pageant for 1915 is work
ing actively on plans for the monster
festival, and it is probable that
Berkeley park or Inspiration point
will be the stage of the celebration.
The exhibition probably will last from
June until October. The estimated
cost of the carnival is s175,000. There
is about $4,000 now in the treasury.

In Booker Washingtons opinion
race prejudice is no longer as violent
as it was. BY this he does not mean
that the gulf between the races is be-
ing bridged-or should be bridged.
But the black man no longer regards
the white man as his natural enemy,
nor does the white man scorn the col
ored man as he once did.

Washington, but l got over that.

Uncle Jake" said he, had been
attending a conference. He found
that he had but ten minutes to catch
his train for home. So he called a

I'm sorry. uncle said the driver,

Washington.-Stirr to action by
continued statements that private
Parks was tortured and executed by
Mexican Federals, both the War and
State Departments took steps to as
certain the truth.
Secretary Garrison instructed Gen
eral Funston to get information from
General Mas regarding the orderlys
fate. simultaneously the State De-
partment asked the Brazilian minis
ter at Mexico City to obtain similar in
formation from Huerta.
General Funston believed Parks has
been executed.
Secretary Garrison made it very
clear that drastic steps will be taken
if the reports of Parks torture and
death are confirmed.
''If polite, decent measures fail" he
said, then we will take the next step
If he was tortured, it was an act of
barbarism, whether war was on or not.
We do not want to make any mis-
step in delicate situation. We do
not want to inflame the country. Con-
sequently in all we have done thus
far is to ask information, for we feel
that the initial responsibility lies
with the private for deserting his com
mand. OF course, we feel that he
must have been insane, but we have
no proof of the reason for his depar-
ture."

ship, has long been planning to leave
Mexico City with his troops and make
last stand at Puebla. midway be-
tween Mexico City and Vera Cruz.
was understood to have been told
President Wilson by Nelson O'Shaugh-
messy, former charge of the American
embassy in the Mexican capital.
The President, it is said, was in
formed that Huerta had picked Puebla
for his last refuge in case rebel as
sailants get too close to Mexico City,
and that late developments in the rev.
olution had caused him already to be-
gin fortifying and provisioning Puebla.
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy is said to have
told the President that Huerta had
no intention of resigning, but that the
Mexican dictator realized that his
regime could not stand long. At Pu-
ebla, according to plans said to have
been determined on months ago, he
would fight rather than consent to
elimination.
Realizing that he eventually must be
deposed, Huerta, it is said, desires to
acquire as much glory as possible be-
fore the inevitable happens.
Mr. O'Shaughnessy is said further to
have told the President that the num-
ber of troops which Huerta has at his
command is greatly exaggerated, and
that, as matter of fact, they number
only 1000 to 5000 men.
Neither Zapata nor Villa would have
any great difficulty in taking the CITY,
is understood to be the view Mr..
| O'Shaughnessy expressed.
| His information is along the line OF
other reports reaching the government
within the last few weeks. Further
information from these sources is that
Huerta has been shipping gold abroad
