The municipal campaign is now
getting under way and the men who
always hold the offices are renewing
their devotions to the men who al
ways elect them to these offices. The
color line will be loosened up until
after the election and for a while a
Negro will be declared lust as good
as a white man" The Negro is very
fond of Jolly" and will readily fall
for the bunc. The dailies will pub
lish his name and call him Mr.

a ward club and his Importance viii
be fully extolled until the time comes
to cut the pie. Then he will be al

The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1914-03-21

Kansas City is strong in its preju-
dices toward the Negro. He is crowd
ed out of most line of lucrative en-
ployment. He is Disseminated against
in all public places. He is made the
s%capegoat in the municipal govern
ment and is treated with disdain in
all civic affairs.
Still, the Negro citizens form the
least troublesome element in all the
city. All the secret murder gangs, al
the rape clubs, all the thieving sys
TENS are made up of other elements
of the population who ply their nefari
ous arts with such impunity as tC
shame the Negro citizen more thar
the white.
All of this is in keeping with the en-
tire record Of our people in this coun
try and gives the open lie to sucl
%detractors as Tillman, Vardaman anC
Dixon.
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1914-03-21

In the last issue of the Crisis, Ed
itor Dubois draws rather heavily up
on his conceit when he claims that
his journal and two others which he
mentions are only legitimate expon-
ents of good English and patriotic de-
votion to race interests. Prof. Du-
Bots is undisputably a master of good
English and no one doubts his unfail-
ing devotion to his convictions, but
there are many others who manage to
make themselves understood and who
are fighting just as v~aliantly for
truth and justice.
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1914-03-21

The Grand avenue assault case will
give the proud Anglo-Saxon a chance
to demonstrate whether the Negro has
been the cause or the effect in the
many frenzied outbursts which have
followed charges of rape. Not only
the colored people but, indeed, all law
abiding citizens are waiting to see If
the law really is sufficient and sure or
if justice is only to be found in lynch
ing.
OF course Negroes are freed
by juries on technicalities. 1t is these
that usually convict them. Legal
flaws are the particular resorts of
the proud Anglo-Saxons and through
the laws delays all things are accom-
plished for the criminals of that fair
lineage.

Our Vesper service is to be held in

All large secret societies are en-
countering the same difficulties in
operating relief departments The
lat rate plan of taxation for sup
port works all right for a few years
but will not stand the test of time.
Including tine entire membership OF
n order, the death rate is always
very high and little by little the re-
sources are overtaXed and the result
is failure.
The fact hat Grand Master Crews
was forced to levy an extra tax for
the support of the relief department
is not chargeable to any weakness
of his administration or to any of
the preceding administrations. 1t is
chargeable to the system itself and
as the Grand Lodge is responsible
for the system its snortcoming
should be borne without murmur-
ings. There is only one way to
play the game and that is to play
it. The fact that some lodges ave
always done more than others in
the way of support for the general
work is very much to the' credit of
those lodges and to the discredit of
the others, of course, but 1t is al
ways the faithful few who set the
pace In good Things and they shoulu
not grow weary in well doing.
Any lodge which besitates In do
ing all that it can simply discredits
itself. The response to a call OF
duty should be prompt and willing,
otherwise 1t, is not Masonry. The
masters of lodges should keep in
mind the fact that they are MEM
bers Of the Grand Lodge and that
they owe a duty to the Grand Lodge
which is in every way equal 10 the
duty to the subordinate lodge. The
master is the agent of the higher
body working through the lower
TIE master Is the agent of the
higher body working through the
lower. He Is disloyal to his vows
when he permits any unseemly con-
duct upon part OF the brethren
through any narrow views OF then
duty.-Herriford.
