Afankato Review: We confess to
serious doubts as to the genuiness of
tho story sent out from Tulsa, Okla,
as to the reformatory effects Of the
mob punishment inflicted on group
of I. W. w. agitators who were beat
On, tarred and fcathered at that place.
According to that story some Of tho
members of the I. w. w. who received
such: punishment have been led there
by to see the error of their ways, have
resolved to BIO good citizens, 20 to
work and buy Liberty bonds with
their savings: -.
This reads good, but it is entirely
false to ell the facts Of human ma
ture. Mon never have been and new
or will be reformed by such processes.
The inevitable result is to increase
their bitterness against society and
to harden them in their purpose to
continue their war on society.
Some fellow mig ht profess reform
alton, in order to avoid further pun
ishment, but the profession would be
of the lips and not of the heart. he
would remain as dangerous to society
as before, but possibly more stealthy
in the methods by which he would
work. 49,! r.
The chances ore that the story Of
tho beneficial effects of the mob 8
work are a pure invention, designed
to excuse a crime perpetratcd in the
name Of society, by making it appear
to have had good results.

no PEACE TALK FOR COIORED
FOLKS.

The entente allies and the Admin
istration at Washington say that they
do not want to hear any talk about
peace at this time. In this, tho
colored folks are with them "tooth
and toe-nail.' The longer the war
and the bloodicr, tho better it will
be for the colored folks. When
about a million white soldiers are
lighting in France or somewhere else
and the transports begin bringing the
wounded to this country, then will
the colorcd folks come unto their
own. The white men at the top will
not be able to distinguish a black
soldier from a white one. All they
will mt will be help and the black
troc. Will give that help.
When the war is over and the SOL
diers from the trenches and the plain
march in review triumphantly before
a grateful nation and happy Pres
idcnt Of the United States, the long
line Of devoted black troopers will
receive the cncomiums OF the nation
and De welcomed to receive all Of the
rights and privileges Of any other
citizens. This can only come from q
long and from a bloody war. From
short, quick war, Good Lord
deliver us!

and used in paying the actual eXpens-
cs of promoting the movement among
the colOred people BY this method,
the campaign could no doubt be made
self supporting, inasmuch as the en-
pense would be confined to clerk hire
literature and postage.
The remarkable progress made by
the Section under the present corps
OF officers can be appreciated by
those who. like myself. have noted
tho progressive growth during the
past ten or twelve years. No act on
the part Of the financicrs of the coun
try has done more to stimulate the
habit of saving than has this move
ment for the conservation OF tho
wealth of the nation in general and
that of the colorcd people in particu-
lar.
l hope that southern banking insti-
tutions may be induced to secure
statistics relative to the amount Of
the savings of the colored people in
their respective localities and for
ward the same to the Secretary Of
the Savings Bank Section. where the
undersigned may he permitted to OBJ
tain the information and by adding
the same to those Of the forty five
banking institutions in the country
conducted by colorcd people practical
~ all of which are in the South. w."
may he able to ascertain the actual
cash holdings of the cOlorcd people
of this country.
The time is rapidly approaching, if
not actually at hand. when the black
Colossus. ever friendly and never mill
tant toward his friends; always faith
full and never traitCrous toward the
government be it Democratic or Re-

worth, not only by the South but by
the North, not only by the East but
by the West.
