Although no time limit has been
placed on the elimination trials, the
speedway officials are sure that the
lowest qualifying car will have to do
better than 80 miles on hour, two
more miles an hour than the limit let
by the Hoosier authorities. At least
eight to twelve cars will be dropped,
because the American Automobile as
ISOLATION rules prohibit more than
81 cars in the race.
With every organization backing
the speedway project to the limit and
all the leading officials lending their
assistance, it is expected that be-
tween 100000 and 100000 will see
the first contest of its kind ever held
in this city. The advance sale which
has been going on for the last month
presages that kind of crowd.

THAT "FIANGING PICNIC" We
have all been reading of the public
hanging Of two negroes in Starkville,
Miss, and of the fact that the event
was made picnic, and that after the
hanging the crowd sang a religious
song, There Is a Land OF Pure De-
light"
Surely, this is not America, which
we are all so proud Of! Surely no
orgy of this kind could happen in a
civilized nation which we believe we
are! A friend of mine who has lived
in the south a number of years tells
me that 1 would feel differently re-

am not capable of arguing the
question as to whether the negro
race is something between the lower
animals and the white people, as
some maintain. But, no matter what
the race is, they should receive JUS
tice at the hands Of the white man,
the same as other races do.
This using them as a kind of Punch
and Judy show is certainly a most
disgraceful thing. 1 believe that,
given equal chances with the whites
for the same number of centuries
that the whites have enjoyed liberty
and rights, the negro would equal the
white man. But whether I am right
