WHO BELONGS ID
 THIS DYNAMITE.
Police Have Mystery on Hands Following Discov- cry of Enough Cached Explosive to Destroy Half of Phoenix.

Enough dynamite to blow up half Cf Phoenix reposes in a sequestered corner of the police station where t vas taken yesterday by the police after having been removed from d cache on South First street. below Buchanan street. With the explos- i've was also found nearly 200 feet of fuse and two full boxes of dyna mite caps. From the appedrance of the explosive, the fuse and the caps, il is not believed that the deadly ma terial had long been in the place where it was found.
 Complete mystery surrounds the pacing of the dynamite in the brush of vacant space where it was found by a child early yesterday afternoon A Mexican boy was seen prowling about the spot and an American child, out of curiosity. started toward the Mexican lad who at once ran away. What the child found there frightened it and it ran home. The father visited the spot and after a glance hurried to a telephone and notified the police.
 The dynamite, some l5O sticks. lay in 6 wooden box that had formerly contained packages of shot gun shells. the sticks fitting neatly cross wise in their container which was nearly half full and the whole cov- cred over with a gunnysack It bore the Hercules" brand.
 There is d belief in police circles that the dynamite must have been stolen for no miner or prospector would have such d quantity in his possession and it would be hard for any such person to have purchased the amount found without first-clas credentials The fuse would have permitted a person desiring to set the entire amount off at a single shot. to have been nearly the length of city block from the charge when lighting it.
 The place where the explosive had been hidden was about half way from the center of the business district and the old brlckyard where mee: ings of the Mexican conspirators, re gently convicted in federal court
 were held under cover of darkness It was at point not more than four or five blocks from the plant of the Pacific Gas X Electric companr which for months has been brilliantly lighted and well guarded at night The presence of the dynamite in the secluded spot where it was found
 may be easy of explanation, but sc far not the slightest hint of thc
 identity of the owner or the purpose for which it was intended has beer available to the police

Iodz Battle Continues.

PETROGRAD, Nov. 25.-A night official statement from the genera! staff says:
 Fighting near Lodz continues, Large German forces which, on No vember 20, broke into the region of Strykow, Brzeziny, Koluszuki, Rz9o@ and Tuszyn Gall of these in the ri- cinity of Lodz) pressed on every side of our troops. are now attempting . supreme effort to cut through tow ard the north.
 To the south of Koluszh station some scattered units are roaming about. We captured prisoners. some heavy ordnance and field guns. The outcome of the battle on November A was to our advantage. In the fighting near Czenstochowa- -Cracow our troops manifestly have the upper hand Beyond the Carpathian passes we are surrounding large bodies of Austrian troops, in the vicinity of MezelaborcZ. In this region we cap tCred a general. forty officers. anl more than $500 soldiers and conveys and machine guns. Near the pass giving access to the Hungarian lains, we occupy the city oi Homenna."
 One detachment of the Germans in the front of the fighting before Lodz which reports arriving here, assert it was cut to pieces by the Russians, it is said to have been on the point of executing coup disguised as Rus sians. It is alleged they wore round furpeaked caps which form part of the Caucasian regiments uniform They were detached as they were about to turn the Russian flank by Russian officers, who noted through their field glasses the slight differ ences in the uniform and equipment of the Germans, according to the story.
 On the entire front of the Vistu,a and Warta rivers, the Germans have begun retreat, according to meagcr reports received from the front to- night. At some points, it is said the l ackward movement resembles a rOut. artillery, ammunition and com issary stores being left on the field. That the Turkish forces are still retreating before the Russians in ehe region around ErZerum is asserted in | a statement from the general staff of | the Russian army in the Caucasus tonight

PLAYING WITH FIRE,

The Afro-Americans in Atlantic City
who are bending every energy to get
a jimcrow principal for their jimcrow
school ought to be in better business.
They are making a great mistake. In
stead of extending jimcrowism they
ought to fight it and have the Jim.
crow school abolished as it is contrary
to the laws of the state of New Jersey.
Segregation NEVER plays. Perhaps
the children of the men who are agi.
tating this matter will curse them in
the days to come and they will be
justified in doing so.
Any man who at any time justifies
and fights for the segregation of his
people from other American citizens
is not only an enemy of his race but
he is also an enemy of the Republic
Caste begets caste. If the Afro-Ameri
can people are segregated why not the
Jews next? Then perhaps some
numerically weak class of citizens OF
foreign birth. Then perhaps the rich
and the poor will be separated in the
schools. Who knows?
The jimcrow agitators of Atlantic
City are playing with fire.

"BE MEN, NOT MoLLYCODDLES


Marking the successful elimination
of course of hard study, the annual
commencement of the National Law
School was held in Washington. Sena~
tor James E. MARITIME delivered the
address to the graduates and among
other things he said:
"Be men, not mollycoddles," he told
them, "for if there is any class of men
the world despises it is the class
known as mollycoddles." And molly
coddle is that breed of humanity which
has the distinction of being indefinable.
1t is too bad that Senator MARITIME s
advice was not given to a class con-
tanning Afro-American youth for it is
sadly needed.
In the majority of the addresses de-
livered at Afro-American school com
mencements the speakers practically
advise the graduates to become molly
coddles and give up all of their rights
as men. They are told to be good and
the white man will hand them every
thing on silver platter. A lot of such
disgusting dope is passed out to Afro
American graduates every year.
There are entirely too many Afro
American mollycoddles on earth RICH
now and it will be we'll for the race
if no more are turned out by thu
schools.

THE JEWS DID 1T.

The great wholesale drygoods house
of H. B. Claim & Co. has faile4 and
the Jews did it.
Years ago A. T. Stewart the first
great drygoods merchant prince of
America, angered the Jews by refus-
ing to receive them as guests at the
Grand Hotel at Saratoga, of which he
was the owner. Jewish merchants all
over the country combined and in a
few years forced him to the wall.
The Chaflin Company is really the
reorganized Stewart business. For
years Jewish merchants have been
withdrawing their trade and when the
pinch came Jewish bankers, remem
bering the insult to their people in
the past, refused to furnish the money
to enable the firm to tide over the
trouble.
The Jews never forget an injury
and who wrongs the race must pay
the price.
Would that the Afro-American would
lear to punish their enemies.

The ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end of 1912, put for
ward the claim that no solution of the
American color question was possible
except by a reso]ute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory.
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island of Jamaica, where he was gov.
ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
is British colony and the govern.
ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev-
cry civil and political right which white
men have and there is no color line.
Among o.ner things Sir Sidney said:
my study and comparison of con-
ditions in the United States and the
West 1ndies," he said, has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men are
not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor
evangelical Christian missionaries. I
do not expect them to adopt the mesh.
DDS of missionaries, nor do I sympa-
thize with all their programmes. But
it cannot be ignored that it happened

the foundations for the peaceful de.

But we are very far from needing
TO rely upon any general consideration
IN support of the proposition advanced
ABOVE. 1t is supported by evidences
ton every hand, waiting only the eye
OF recognition. Scarcely day passes
out something is said or done with this

man and Negro that the latter is and
must remain an inferior. Let me in
stance few such evidences,
Consider, first, the Jim Grow" legis-

ment. Such legislation is supposed to
have for its object the separation of
the races in trains, street cars, etc., to
save the white people from occasional
contact with drunken, rowdy, illsmell-
ing Negroes, and to prevent personal
encounters = between the whites and
placks. Members of the different
races occupy the same cars, separated
only by absurdly inadequate little
open-mesh wire screens, so tiny and
light that conductor can move them
from one seat to another with the
strength of his little finger. Needless
TO add, these screens would serve to
OBSCURE neither sound, sight, nor smell
OF drunken rowdies who sat behind
them! In summer cars, black and
"n1te passengers may be separated
not even by make-believe screen:
they are simply required, respectively.
TO occupy certain seats in the front
or the back end Of the cars.
In Birmingham, Alabama, the front
seats are assigned to Negroes in all
closed cars, and the back seats in all
open ones. Why the front seats in the
one case, and the back seats in the
otner, 1t is not easy to understand in
the light of the letter and alleged
spirit OF the Jim Crow law! The un-
DERIVING purpose of the law is clearly
not, the separation of the races in
space; for public sentiment does not
insist upon it's fulfillment to that end
The underlying purpose of it would
seem to be the separation of the races
IN status. The doctrine Of INEQUALITY
would be attacked if white, and black
passengers rode in public conveyances
on equal terms; therefore the Negro
who rides in public conveyance
must 90 so, not as of undoubted right
but as with the white mans regula-
ton. "This place you may occupy,
that other you may not, because | am
! and you are you, lest to you or to me
it should be obscured that am ! and
you are you" Such is the real spirit
of the Jim Crow laws.

Eranklin'a Suit of Clothes.

Shortly before the outbreak of the

postmaster general for the American
colonies. was in London trying to get

clared that he would never wear it

later he donned the suit again when
he signed the treaty of peace which
freed the United States.

SEGREGATlNG REPUBLICANS.

The Central Afro-American of Saint
Louis in timely editorial protests
against the action of certain branches
of the Republican party in Saint Louis
in putting the Afro-American voters
off to themselves and shutting them
out of the party councils in the forma-
ton of campaign plans. The Afro
American says:
ESPECIALLY is it true of some wards
in this city, where the Afro-American
voters are directed to hold separate
meetings, where the only work they
can accomplish is to carry out the in
structions given them by the advo-
Gates of this segregation idea. 1t is
an idea entirely foreign to true Re-
publican principles, having no place

THE REASON WHY.

Segregation has come to Louisville
because the Afro-Americans in that
city have not been aggressive in their
fight against injustice.
Some years ago proposal was made
for jimcrow library and it was &C.
cepted without protest.
Residential segregation came as, a
natural sequence.
The idea of the Caucasian fiends of
the South is that persons with an ad-
mixture of African blood must be kept
in a separate social status subject to
their whims and caprices.
The Afro-Americans who accept
public segregation in any form, WITH
OUT PROTEST are doing themselves
a great wrong and hanging a mill
stone about their children's necks.
EVERY KIND OF JIMCROWISM
SHOULD BE FOUGHT TO A FINISH.
