e. II. Forney attended q meeting
OF the creamery men OF Kansas and
Missouri, at Kansas City, 20 work
out some plan to combat the great
loss I'm profits and the declining
market for their produce since the
new tariff rates went into effect. A
special call was sent out and lead
ing creamery men of both states
have responded.
The great butter and egg indus
try OF Kansas is in danger, cream
cry men say. OF falling before the
competition Of New Zealand and
Australian butter. and eggs from
China.
Tariff is down on eggs and tar
III on butter has been reduced from
s and 6 cents TO IA cents" J. f.
Haskell, formerly OF Harrington
said. New Zealand and Australian
butter has taken away entirely the
Pacific coast market for Kansas
butter.
"The spring and summer In these
countries come with our fall and
winter. Creamery men Of this coun-
try are forced to compete against
butter from these countries while
we are producing at our highest and
they are having fine pasturage and
are producing at their lowest.
"The burden will fall on the far
mer. There has been an unusually
large production OF butter In Kan
sas this winter due to the fine wheat
pasturage, but Kansas creameries
have been unable to compete with
import butter. No shipments have
been made to the Pacific coast since
last November.
zone solution of the problem will
be found IL we can organize q
grading system for buying oul
cream. Now we pay the farmer an
average price for all grades. If we
can buy cream and pay for 1t ac'
cording to grades it will cut down
the cost of production. We will have
to economic on production or lose
out entirely"
Now that the tariff is down en-
tirely on eggs, China is more thar
supplying the demand to formel
markets at less cost than the cream
cry men can, Mr.. Haskell said.
Mr.. Haskell also predicted tina
many cold storage companies woult
go bankrupt this coming season be
cause of the great shipments o
eggs from China.

THE LYNCHERS CORPS
An Appeal Editorial Suggesting the Murder Mad Monarchs
Europe the Formation of Army Corps Which Would Make
Their Most hhuman Generals Look Like Pikers

War devastates Europe. The "Chris.
! tian'' emperors have ordered the fool
poor people to go out and kill one an
! other and after attending church where
their swords are blessed by the priests
! and they pray to God for success, the
massacre starts.
THE APPEAL wishes to call the
attention of the murder-mad monarC,:s
| to the possibility of forming an army
corps in this country, which for eff
cheney in its chosen line would make
the most ferosious, blood-thirsty and
lnhuman generals look like a lot of
pikers.
| Why not organize "Lynchers'
Corpse" Let it be under the supreme
command of Governor Cole L. Blease,
of South Carolina. Senator Ben Till
man, also of South Carolina, the man
who boosted in the United States
Senate that Afro-Americans were
killed because they tried to exercise
their rights as free men, would be an
ideal man for chief of staff. Ben is
a great "Christian" and it is said that
he knows more about the Bible than
any other Senator.
Senator Vardaman, that great "Chris-
| tan" who has devoted his life to the
! undoing of colored brethren; Senator
Williams also of Mississippi, whose re-
cent speech in Congress was more bit
ter than his colleagues against one
half of the residents of his state, and
Senator Hoax Smith, whose news
paper contributed much to cause the
Atlanta riot, are Just the men for
acknowledgements
Frank Clark of Florida, Charles
Gordon Edwards of Georgia, both
authors of segregation bills, Congress-
man Hardwick of Georgia, whose spe-
cialty is repeal of fifteenth amendment
legislation; James T. Heflin of Ala
/ bama, author of the jimcrow street
! car bill; Martin Dies of Texas, noted
segregationist; are all christians, y
have bitter hatred against their
co-religionists of other colors and are
eminently qualified for places as gen.
erals.
THE APPEAL suggests that Frank
Park. OF Sylvester, Georgia, another
Congress, making it unlawful for me
groes to be designated or elected as
commissioned or on-commissioned
officers in the United States Army y

THE BURDEN OF BEING WHITE
BY Ray Stannard Baker, in the Amer,
can Magazine.

Oh, my friend, why will
men not see that there can be no true
civilization while any men in the
world are left out of it? and that no
race or no nation can go far forward
while other races and nations lag be-
hind?
LET the white person again tread
the black person under his heel! (Say!
which Is trodden under heel after
all0"
1t is not enough that we give the
alien nations our learning, our relig
ion, our science. What signify all
these things? Are we hurt by giving
them? Are we not, on the contrary,
the material gamers? No, we must be
prepared to go further than that, else
we have not learned the fundamental
concept OF religion. -..
1t is not the great task of any nation
that it shall remain pure, or white, or
learned, or that it shall assure to it's
pOSterity the possession of land and
comfort Though this has been the be-
lief, and the doom, of every aristoc-
racy from the beginning of time). The
great task of every advanced race or
nation Is to bring more love-more
ight-into the world.
A stand for racial aristocracy means
war, hatred, barren exclusiveness, and
finally degeneration and failure; a
stand for racial democracy and bro
therhood means love in the world,
friend1iness, sacrifice, new fertility, a
wider sweep for faith, and final tri-
umph. Individuals may suffer in the
process, nations may perish, but civ.
ilization, the kingdom Of humanity
will grow, will become more beautiful

SUMMARY OF ADDRESS TO COUN-
TRY OF NATIONAL INDEPEN-
DENT EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE.
Annual Meeting, New York City,
Sept, 1914.
To recapitulate:

To recapitulate:
cially the President, in view Of the
bloody war of all Europe and the
probable grant of freedom to Ireland
and suffrage to women, freedom to
Poles and Films and relief from seq
regation and political disabilities fol-
the Jews, induced by the needs of
warning nations, remember that 12,-
100000 native citizens in this country
are worse prescribed than those CT
Europe. We appeal to President Will
son to free Colored Americans
from Jim-crow cars, disfranchisement
lynching and segregation, especially
under the Federal government at the
Federal capital, now, rather than await
some awful war here.
Southern disfranchisement encour-
ages other forms of lawlessness and
renders the Colored citizen helpless
in as cowardly fashion as the lynch
ing which it's disrespect for law
breeds.
Jim-crow cars were absurd enough,
but residence segregation shows the
South knows no limit in prescription
If let alone.
Segregation of Federal employees is
the most alarming symptom. The pc
tition presented against it to Presi-
dent Wilson by delegation of this
league checked it only. We ask Pres
ldent Wilson to entirely remove this
Matchmaking of caste.
This prescription, visited upon no
Americans but those Of color, is seri-
nd m ho iy,ir ~
ored citizens are warned that they
must ever resist it by agitation and
organization. Organization of Colored
persons is the only means to gain
rights OF retain them if gained.
We protest against disfranchse
ment, lynching, segregation, denial OF
civil and political rights. We want
only the rights all others enjoy even
the foreigner. We shall never cease
until all citizens have full equal rights
in every state .-..
We urge the use of the ballot a.
the real weapon Of self-defense, vot
ing Independently for our rights an,
liberties and not for party.
Greetings and expectations are ez
tended to the National Association TO
the Advancement of Colored Peopl
and the Constitution League for aid
and thanks given Congressman T. {
Thatcher and A. J. Peters of Masse
chusetts for securing hearin
against segregation and opposing i
Federal segregation as practiced
the departments and encouched in v,
rious bills should be made an issu
