Tenant Is Sued. L. Dansen has
entered suit against f. w. Knopper
and wife. tenants who the plaintiff de-
clares have violated the terms of n
lease of the Dansen 1GOacre farm in
Princeton township. The plaintiff
claims that waste TO the amount of
$1,000 is one result of the tenancy. and
That back rent is due him. The lease,
which was given Aug. 80, 1912, was for
three years, but in view of what is
asserted TO be violations of the CON
tract, Dansen desires that the court
declare the rights of the tenants for
feited and that they be assessed for
the rent from the time of the last nav
ment TO date OF forfeiture. This in
addition to petition for judgment of
$1,000 for the alleged waste.

Black Sengalese Capture
Pipes and Shoes From

Paris.-Ihe Matin relates
that on the arrival of a train
bringing wounded Sengalese
ritlemen nearly all were found
smoking furiously from long
porcelain pipes taken from
the enemy and seemingly in
different to their wounds.
One gaily told of the dar-
ing capture of a machine gun
by eighteen of his comrades.
The gun, itseems, was brought
up by a detachment of Ger
man dragons, and the Sene-
galese bravely charged and
captured everything.
Though their arms and
bodies are hacked by saber
thrusts, the Sengalese com
plain of nothing but the OBJ
legation to fight with shoes on.
Before going into battle at
Charleroi they slyly rid them :
selves of these impediments
and came back shod in Ger
man footwear to avoid pun
ishment for losing equipment.

Journal quotes DR.. Washing
ton. ~ saying in . recent
speech that the Negro should
stop fighting segregation and
lend his forces toward beauti- :
flying the neighborhood in
which he lives" If DR.. Wash.
ngton is correctly quoted. he
is most discouraging. 1t is
inconceivable that one who
occupies so prominent a po-
sition in the Afro American
world should so far forget his
position and his dignity as to
urge his Race to cease pro-
testing against the most cow
ardly and humiliating legisla :
ton in the land. 1t is safe to
say that segregation has many
champions even among our
Race. but almost without ex :
ception they are to be found
among the element where
there is the least intelligence
and where there is an inner :
ent fear of opposing anything
the white man chooses to do.
But here we are smitten~ from
an unexpected quarter; a re-
cognized leader of the Race,
an educator, tells US to forget
our manhood; to forget the
sacred and inalienable rights
of political and personal lib
erty, and to passively submit
to the humiliation of being
pushed aside as though we are
a race of lepers, because we
would seek cleaner and health
ier neighborhoods in which to
live. TO submit to a degra-
dation without serious objec-
ton is worse than cowardly;
il is unmanly and ignoble. and
any Race that would do so
exhausting every
of moral and legal pro-
test is unworthy Of the name

Negro Preacher Tells
People Of Race Not
to Be 90 Particular
About Their Rights.

The following article ap-
peared in the Dallas Morning
News:
The principal address 20 the
Zion Rest Negro Baptist As
sociation, now in session at
the Mount Moriah Baptist
church here, was delivered by
DR.. L. L. Campbell, of Austin.
DR.. Campbell is president of
tae Negro Baptist State Con-
vention of Texas and is the
recognized leader of more
than 100000 Negro c hristians.
The most miserable man
on earth is the Negro who is
always complaining and fuss
ing with God because God
made him black" said DR..
Campbell. "the good tenant
is worth more to the Race
than all the speech makers
the Race has produced. A
landlord will do anything on
earth for a good tenant. A
good tenant is a valuable as
set to any community and a
white man will raise a fuss
about him. Where there are
good tenants the chicken
houses are less likely to be
invaded. Where there are
good tenant. the hog pens will
not be molested and any com.
munity will be glad to have
you, regardless of your color
if you will prove your worth.
Don't be so particular
about your rights. | would
rather give man all of the
sidewalk and the street, too.
if he wants it and be regarded
as peaceable citizen than to
have the whole sidewalk given
to me and be regarded as a
bully. | thank God that the
Negro has always had sense
enough to live in peace with
his white neighbors."
Now this is the class of
Negroes who retard the prog
ress of the progressive men
and women of the Race. This
is make-shift of a minister,
and should be driven out of
the pulpit and from all re-
spectacle people. He is not
even good man for a fifth
class ministral show, which he
has been trying to perform in
for some white people. We
do not know how he got to be
head of the Baptist conven-
ton: unless it was by his gall.
When the public reads this.
they should expel him from
the convention and the state
of Texas.

purpose without any statue
law, and hence her represen-
tation could not be disturbed,
as nothing prevented the Neg
70 voters from holding their
own primary-something we
all knew they would not do.
Our primary nullihed no Fed
eral statue.
The Republicans being in
full power by sufferance did
not disturb the d;sftanchise-
ment acts. But there is no
stability to them now. Read
the debate between the la
mented Senator Bacon and
Senator Root on the Bristow
amendent and discover the
facts in the case. There you
see the situation.
The foundation for en-
forcement Of the fifteenth
Amendment was laid when
the Bristow amendment was
passed. 1t has put the Dem
ocrats in a hole. We whipped
ourselves by introducing that
Sutherland amendment in the
jSenate. 1t brought the Bris-
tow amendent. and that gave
congress absolute control of
all registration and elections
of a national character. Sen
ator Root maintained that it
conferred the power on Con-
gress to declare the "dissran-
chisement" act void. The de-
bate between Senator Bacon
and Senator Root will disclose
the situations.
$50 there is no stability
about our 'disfranchisement'
acts. A few years may show
that it had been wiser to have
stuck to our efficient white
primary system. The day
may come when the name OF
| Clarke of Arkansas, who
proved traitor to his party on
this Bristow amendment, will
be Kissed by all southern peo.
Pile. Mr.. Bryan insisted on
the change in the election Of
Senators, the Bristow amend
ment and ali, because. he said
it would be a stepping stone
to other reforms he had in
contemplation, one of which
is the President by the masses
at large. regardless Of States.
The perpetual discussion OF
the Negro problem in the
South leaves little time for
anything else. The Washing
ton Times points ont that"one
of the penalties southern
States are paying for the
privilege of eliminating the
Negro from their politics
springs from the largely in
efficient constitutions through
which this elimination was
brought about. The States
we're so determined to destroy
the Negro vote that they for

now rise up to plague them.

Lreme Court on these consti-
tutional inhibitions of Negro
voting is expected within a

Negro = Suffrage
Cost of Settling Things Wrong.
The Crisis Makes Some Strong Observations

No time is gained by sett-
ling a great question wrong.
The disfranchisement Of the
southern Negro is illegal and
immoral. The result is that
it continues to be a live ques-
ton in the South. Every
mater which brings up in the
slightest degree the question
OF voting opens the argument.
For instance. Annie Riley
Hale, who is "Opposed,'

ORLEANS mes-Democrat:

sided over by the Mayor,

AS to the wisdom, under
