WyandOtte Officials
Will Do Well to Put An
Early Stop to This Thing

The prejudice against the Negro race
which became so aggressively apparent in
Wyandotte Monday night has its roots
in the days of the old rolling mills. some
40 years back, when the two races worked
in the same mills, side by side, and a
bitter hatred against the blacks existed
Since those days very few Negroes
have lived in Wyandotte.
This summer there has been scarcity
of labor, due to restricted immigration
on account of the war, and the Detroit
Valve and Fitting Co. sought to relieve
the stringency by bringing fifty Negros
from Alabama and putting them in their
plants.
This innovation has been resented
more or less, by the white laborers.
The incident which called forth the
riot was unimportant.
The finder was in the breast of the
white man ready for the spark which
would ignite it.
Wyandottee, being manufacturing
town, has always struggled with popu-
lation more or less unstable, made up Of
many nationalities and factions.
On this account it has never been as
amenable to law and order as the ordi-
nary American town.
Less than ten years ago dog fight
was started on the principal street
crowds gathering and betting on the
fighters.
The police tried to interfere but were
beaten back.
They appealed to Detroit for aid but
when it arrived one of the dogs was dead
and the crowd had disappeared.
The would-be lynchers of Wyandotte,
Monday night, were half intoxicated and
ready for trouble and the black man was
their natural prey.
1t is unfortunate that the lawless, un-
Just mob rule of the South can be re-
peated here. where we desire that the
black man shall have fair play and an OPP
portunity for independence and the pur-
suit of happiness the same as any other
man.

In. but my retirement was a forced one, how

Now that's real pathetic.
He wanted 10 keep his place" but courtesy
forced him 20 resign.
The same kind OF courtesy which haS forced
thousands and thousands OF worthy government
employees-lots of them wOrsn-to tear up their
meal tickets when a Republican administration
succeeded Democratic administration. and yice
versa. ever since the politicians first recognized
the potency Of the federal patronage club.
It's the courtesy Of the spols system. Robin

'The Belle Isle bath house is the filth.

q Detroit woman told The Times.
And then she went on:
II went over to the bath house with
my child. 1t was my first visit l will
never go again.
II had stood with my child in line for
half hour when il started TO rain.
There was no shelter for the line, which
was broken when the rain began to fall
in torrents, and when it again formed !
was farther back than when ] first took
my place. 1t began to rain again and
again the line was broken. II took me
an hour and half TO get in and buy ny
tickets.

Shiny and the room stunk.
THE suit / was given was damp, not
having had time to dry since it was
used last
The bathing was fine, but on coming
out could get only one towel for myself
and child.
Two other women with two children
came up as stood there and could get
only one towel for their entire party.
"Do you mean to say that we can

women.

The Ministry of Death
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Take Off your hats! The mans dead,
You've hunted him over the hills,
tracked him through the woods, waited
for him at his home, followed him from
hiding place to hiding place, and now
you've got him. He lies there with star
ing eyes, his arms outSpread, n ragged
hole in his breast. moveeSs, quiet, HARM
less as wood-dead!
So take off your hats! He was a Grim
inal a thief, a murderer. lowest of men,
yet he was a human being, an immortal
soul a creation Of the infinite God Alive,
he was despiSed Dead, he is solemn
thing, sacred as n church.
Against death all our hate, our vim
dictive pursuit, our violence, stop, and
are beaten back, scattered into thin air
as the ocean wave stops, dashed to foam
against the rocky cliff.
Death is the one sanctity that all
men respect, the one gesture that melts
the hardest, the one awe that appalls the
most impious.
Life may be sordid and cheap in the
living Of it when it departs the mark II
leaves is always majestic.
At death the mysterious beauty Of
eternity sufruses the coarse face of time
Death is the great democrat, fate's
mock at our aristocraceS and high
mightinesses.
The bands play dirges. the procession
winds along the crowded street. a dead
general is going to his tomb in the pam
theon. Over in narrow back street the
undertaken is loading a paupers body in
to his wagon TO take it to the potter's
field. Famous general and obscure pau
per must crawl through the same mar
row wicket gate whore all earthly honors
and possessions are removed from them,
and must stand naked before the Judge.
Death is the one priest whose words
are needed. In death is that one stroke
Of common sense that annihilates our
folly.
1t ia the one shrewd move Of nature
that checkmates our supreme wisdom,
battles our schemes
Without death We could not under
stand life, For life's evil institutions are
too venerable, its senseless customs to
IRON. It's maniae too intense, its passi
levers too fierce so that, unchecked
deaths cool reasoning, life would spe
lily become a whirlwind Of fury.
( Death is the one preacher Of righteot
ness. nobility, mercy charity and j
tice whose lips cannot be stilled.
Life has forgiveness, which is goo
but death has forgetfulness, which Z
better.
