BISHOPS WILL NOT
 MAKE ANY REPLY
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

BERLIN, (via London), Feb. 19.- The Koelnische Volks Zeitunk says it can state authoritatively that the German Catholic bishops will not make a reply to the joint letter of the bishops of Belgium, which recited instances of atrocities alleged to have been committed in Belgium and re- counted the grievances of the people of Belgium and proposed an investi- gation on the subject by German pre- lates. The Zeitung adds:
 We are convinced that this refusal on the part of German Episcopate is to be attributed primarily to the de- sire of Pope Benedict that contro- versies of this kind between bishops of different nationalities be avoided The refusal is also quite comprehen- sible, since the letter only tends to increase the present political excite ment among the Belgian people,

HON. JULIUS c. GUNTER|
man OF THE HOUR
C0LORAOO'S new GOVERNOR
Mems Mistakes Make Op-
portunity for Others.

Human life is often thought
OF as voyage over the sea.
and it is stormy one at best
when upon the political wa
tiers. There is no seaman who
travels upon these waters who
does not suffer. Things good
in themselves must often be
given up that things better
may be had. The sacrifice of
a valuable cargo of human
life might be saved, is a true
picture of what life is upon
the water sometime demands
thfuout its course. Ordinary
life is schooling in the scale
Of relative values. Knowing
and pra.ticing this as we do
in every day life, the Negro
in this presidential and state
elections was compelled to
make certain sacrifices in or
der that greater values which
money cannot buy, fawning
cannot win and bulldozinR
cannot cffccs-tke value Of
manhood-mighr be saved
and kept in tact.
Governor Carlson thru his
actions in one case and lack
Of actions in other cases had
put it square up to the Negro
to swallow or resent wrongs.
The Negro httingly resented
the wrongs and repudiating
him sent him into oblivion by
help electing Mr.. julius {.
Gunter. The Star played its
part while the colored people
hearkened and acted. The
Negroes have made great sac
rifices Of their friends in or
der 10 elect MIR. Gunter and
Others of the State democrat
ic party. Since that is so,
what duty do the democrats
owe the Negro1 With segre-
cation staring us in the tace,
with our increased need OF
new friends, with the passing
of some Of our old friend,
what can the Negro hope
from the new officials and
their friends. Not a disparag
ing word has been said con
cerniny the ability, integrity,
manhood and conservatism OF
Mr.. Gunter, but he has been
recommended to us most
highly. When we say OOR

Governor Gunter is DIS much

Lawless Whites of South

Abbeville, S. CT ollowine
their action in lynching An
thony Crawford. a we'll to.do
farmer, who was courageous
enough to defend himself
from an assault by a white
man, the brave and gallant
white men ofthis community,
to the number of more than a
hundred, have decided that
the FIVE Crawford boys who
survive their father must
leave this neighborhood.
Their declared reason for
making this demand is that it
is for the sake of peace and
for the best interest of the
community.
The hundred or more farm
ers, or hill billies, as they are
known, wanted to call on the
boys in body, but citizens of
the town persuaded them to
allow a committee of citizens
to see the boys. This was
done, and the boys asked to
be given until November IS
to wind up their business af-
fairs. Mr.. Crawford owned
about 500 acres Of land and
was reputed to be worth con
siderable money. The request
of the boys was granted.
Whites Will Get Property.
1t is we'll understood that
even with the time granted it
will be impossible for the
Crawford boys to effect any
advantageous arrangement
for disposing of their holdings
and so brave white farmers
will probably take advantage
Of the opportunity to secure
slices of the fine Crawford
properties at nominal prices.
Later in the day. after this
arrangement had been settled
upon. the hill billies because
they didn't 60 in a bunch to
run the boys out Of town. this
feeling helped on, undoubted
ly, by resorting 20 illegal dis
pensers of alcoholic cococ
tions, and so the crowd went
about the town to the various
places of business conducted
by colored men and demand
ed that they shut up their
shops. The better element of
the towns citizenry. judicious
ly mingling with the crowd,
efectually prevented any act
ual outbreak of violence a
gainst the colored shoLkeep
ers. who closed their shops
and kept out of the way.
With the departure of the
outlaw gang from the city.
the excitement died out. and
the next day the Negroes
we're allowed to take up their
business pursuits. But the
edict against the Crawford
boys stands. and they must
sacrifice everything and leave
the community.-N. Y. Age.

LET us FINISH THE JOB.

Withdrawal of United States troops from Mexico
should not be considered until the death of Villa is posi-
lively established and the Carranza government %emphati-
cally informed that protection of the lives and property
of foreigners from now on must be given; and if such pro-
lection is not given, our troops will return to remain until
peace and security are firmly established.
Not since governments were established has any nation
submitted to what the United States has endured at the
hands of Mexico during the past four years. Our citizens
have been ruthlessly and brutally slain, women outraged,
their property c~onfiscated and destroyed; not by irrespon-
sible outlaws, but by the organized soldiery of all the fac
lions from Madero to Carranza. The price of withdrawal
should be absolute protection to all foreign interests. The
white mans burden is one Of extending civilization and
decency, and there is no more inviting field in all the world
than Mexico has offered for the past four years. Let us
secure the purpose for which we entered Mexico now that
we are there. The death Of Villa was not the purpose,
but only incidental to it. Let Mexicans of all grades and
degrees of responsibility be impressed with the fact that
if the governing powers can not establish order and Sc
cure safety to foreigners and their own people as well, it
must be done from the outside. There have been toe
many bandits assuming the title of general; too many
thieves and %murderers posing as patriots; too much license
assumed under the guise of liberty. The advantage OF
the situation is with the United States. Let us keep il
until the purposes of the invasion are secured.

OUR SOLDIER BOYS.

The work that our little army has been doing and is do
ing in northern Mexico ought to be a lasting object les
son to the m~ongrels who people that region. A sleuth-
hound chase, dividing into little bands to pursue that
chase in all directions and Indifferent to the odds that
might be brought against them; to face the dust; the
heat, by day the cold by night; the climinbg of trailess
mountains, the lack of water, the cavalry ride of fifty
five miles in a day and a night and then without a rest
storming the lair of the rag-muffin bandits; a nemesis
that needs neither distress nor danger, nor any Of the
obstacles that can be heaped in its path and only intent on
one settled purpose; adapting and outdoing all the in
ventions of the enemy, a race superiority which must
convince those treacherous ~braggarts and murderers that
it is a dangerous experiment to try too much the forbear-
ance of a nation of free men.
We have doubted from the first that Villa would ever
oe caught. The businesses of those inhospitable hills Of
fer him refuge, among those ignorant people everyone is
ready to shield him, and lie about his whereabouts, but
they are learning something new every day about the
character of his pursuers, and certainly are learning that
t is dangerous to try the patience of the men of the Unit
ed States and to awake to action the determination of the
policies of that nation to execute justice.
And we at home would be worse than ingrates if we
lid not give that police the full mead of praise and all our
ives hold them in grateful m~emory.-Goodwin's Weekly.
