The Country Theatre

From "The Country Schools Re-Birth, '
 by Carl Holiday, in the American Re-
 view of Reviews.
 From North Dakota there has spread another new form of entertainment, the rural theatre Founded by a professor in the State Agricultural college, the movement proposes that the country folk as well as the city dwellers shall have their longing for dramatics satisfied But the country plan exce's that of the city; for the rural theatre, whether 1t be in school barn, church or farmhouse, is a community activity in which man, wom- an and child take part as actor, stage hand business manager or promoter and the country production is therefore a more vital expression than the city theatre. The institution has spread to neighborng states. and the calls upon the state schools of South Dakota, Mon tana and Iowa for acting editions of good plays are fast increa sing. Who can calculate the impetus such a movement may give to the future dramatic ltera- ture of America?

SUPPORT RACE CONGRESS.
Coming Meeting of Equal Rights

Coming Meeting of Equal Riehts
League to Be Important Event.
The call OF the National Equal Rights
league for n congress of colored Amer
lean citizens, to be held at an early
date in the fall. is move in the right
direction. True, there have been dis
tressing periods of racial existence. up
risings in national and state affairs
which have threatened our citizenship.
and in many states the rights OF the
colored citizens in almost every line of
activity have been denied or curtailed,
bat there never was time more i'm.
portant In which the race should act ms
a unit than the present
Segregation. Iynchings and other
forms Of injustice against the colored
people are unchecked. No attempt, SO
it seems. is made by the national ad-
ministration either to ascertain the
leaders Of mobs or to bring such mur.
dercrs, IL known. to trial. The race
must take Its cause into Its own hands
not as frebrands. disturbers Of the
peace or as bomb throwers. but as
peaceablc citizens demand in the name
OF the strong arm OF the federal law
citizens Of the United States.
The proposed race congress should
be grand success. 1t will be open to
all persons of thought and action who
believe in fair play. 1t is not bedged
in by any political fences. The sug-
gestion has been made by prominent
business and professional men and
women and concurred in by the league
that citizens equal rights committees
be formed In every community and
that these committees elect and send
delegates to the race congress
All churches. secret, benevolent and
civic organizations are also earnestly
requested to send representatives to
the proposed meeting time and place
Of which will be published in the daily
and weekly papers. The Waco cTex)
lynching is still fresh in the public
mind, and so are segregation jimcrow
car horrors about which no legal steps
by those elected by the people to pro
tect their lives and property have been
taken.
The late Stewart l.. Woodford, one
time minister to Spain, said in an ad-
dress some years ago before the Brook
1yn Literary union, I'VE never freed
the slaves until we had to. and we will
never accord to the former slave nor
his offspring all the rights guaranteed
to them as freemen until we have to-"
Truer words were never spoken by
