that the disturbance and compulsory
change to its heirs of this legacy were
arbitrary, unjust to the verge of what
we would call sacrilegious interference
with the Divine will.
He had all the old treaties in his
head in the Indian legendary manner,
also In hieroglyphics, but in writing
and printed type he had an extract
from the treaty of 1868 by which the
Sioux reservation of Dakota vas set

YOUNG MAN YOU
MUST REGISTER

IN discussing the question of reg
istration under the selective draft
act of Congress we find that there
are some who do not fully realize
the Importance of turning out next
Tuesday at their respective voting
precincts and registering. Some
have the idea that because they are
registered as voters that this will
suffice and that it meets the re-
quirements of the recent act of Con-
gress. Your registration as quail
fled elector of the county and State
has nothing whatever to do with
your registration for war service.
fff | ffffpr xo ingotu codrac bgf
If you are between the ages of FL
and 30, inclusive, you must register
and if you fail to do so you are go
ing to get into trouble. After the
date of registration is over the en-
tire country is going to be search
ed in every nook and corner for
slackers and when found they are
going to be placed in Jail and may
reach the penitentiary before the
end of it. The country is at war
and whether you endorse it or not
you must do your part to help win.
Do not let anything keep you from
registering. If you are not able to
go the circuit clerk will furnish you
a card which you can fill out and
mail to the commissioner of your
voting precinct This must be done
by June 5th. We hope no Lee
county boy will fail to register.

DR.. BRADFORD KNAPP SPEAKS
Interesting Address by Distinguished
Citizen

DR.. Bradford Knapp, Commits
ssioner of Agriculture, spoke to a
good crowd at the Court House
Wednesday evening, on the subject
of feeding the nation. DR.. Knapp
was introduced by Chancellor Rob-
ins who said, that it afforded him
much pleasure to be able to present
to the people of Tupelo and Lee
county SO distinguished a citizen of
the country; that he was worthy
son of an illustrious sire and that
he had been able to take up the
work so successfully done in the ag-
ricultural field by his father and
carry it on extending and widening
it without interruption.
DIR. Knapp spoke to the point and
impressed upon his hearers the ur-
gent necessity upon this country to
prepare to feed not only ourselves
but the allies also who are fighting
the war of liberty on European SOIL
He stated that in order to do this it
would be necessary for us to learn
to economic and to conserve those
economic forces which we have
heretofore failed to take into con-
sideration. He called attention to
the fact that a greater quantity of
food supplies must be furnished the
Allies than ever before; that Eng
land, France and Belgium are in
greater need of aid from the country
than ever defore and that we must
not fail to supply them. He called
attention to the necessity for our OBJ
servance of the most rigid economy;
that there were twenty million fami-
lies in the United States and that if
every family should waste one slice
of bread day it would require 450-
900 acres of wheat to cover the loss
by this waste.
He urged that we do safe farm
ing, that is we should raise our own
food supplies rather than calling on
some one else to supply it for us;
that thAre were articles of food for
animals which should be made to
take the place of corn and that the
corn should be saved as human food.
DR.. Knapp stated that this war
should by all means be fought in
Europe and that the Germans should
not be permitted to bring the war to
the shores of this country; that if
they won over France and Great
Britain the first thing they would
demand would be the British and
French navy and it would be no diff
ficulty for them to land a Ger
man army in this country. He pied
with the people to be patriotic and
stand behind the President in his eff
fort to preserve human liberty on
the earth and unless the Allies win
we shall see the triumph of imperial
ism and the domination of the WIZ
of o-a man in the affairs Of the
world.

NEGROES ARE BEATEN
BY RIOTERS
BULLITIN

Springfield, ILL.,, May 29.-Six COM
panies of state troops were ordered
to East st. Louis today by orders of
Adjt.-Gen. Dickson, to help city and
county authorities preserve order, fol-
lowing race riots.
East St. Louis, ILL.,, May ga
mob of perhaps 1000 persons went
through the negro quarters here dur
ing the night, shot one negro, SER
iously wounding him, beat ascore in
to Inconsistencies, drove several
hundred negroes across the Missis-
sippi river bridgeinto ST. Louis, Mo-,
and then dispersed early today.
The assault began after a report
had been circulated that a white
woman had been insulted and two
white men held up by negroes, Just
after a committee from the Central
Trades and Labor union had attend
ed meeting of the city council to
make protest against the impor-
tation of any more negro laborers
into ST. Louis.
Shots were fired at frequent in
tervals, but only one negro is known
to have been wounded. He fled to
st. Louis and was found there un-
conscious with a bullet wound in his
head and three ribs fractured. All
negroes We're searched and if arm
ed, they were beaten into uncon-
sciousness.
Many negroes were given refuge
in the city Jail, and at midnight the
police estimated that 1000 persons
surrounded the building and threat
ened to storm it. The mob was dis
suaded, however, and rushed into
the business section where street
cars were stopped and saloons We're
searched. Several negro saloons
were wrecked and Mayor Mollman
issued an order for all bars in the
city to close.
NlOt calls Made
Riot calls brought out the entire
city police force, but the mob went
virtually unchecked The Sixth II
linois Infantry was appealed to and
got under arms, but took no active
part in the disturbance
Many workmen here have been
idle on account Of strikes, and it is
estimated that at least 5000 negroes
have been imported from the South
to take their places
At the meeting of the council,
which was held in the main auditor
ium of the city hall in order to ac-
commodate the crowd, the mayor
pleaded with the men to restrain
themselves from violence, and pro-
missed that some method of controll-
ing the ingress of negroes would be
found.
