If st. Louis Is Right
Then the War of the
Rebellion Was Wrong

Just now when we are burning with a
desire to free the world from all auto
cratic bonds and are rejoicing that the
Jews of Russia are to be given political
chance for equality and justice, 1t seems
more revolving than ever that such
crimes as those committed against the
colored people in st. Louis, Monday, must
be laid at the door of the American
people.
We are fond of quoting Abraham Lin
coins splendid ultimatum that nation
cannot exist half slave and half free, but
it is not too much to say that the slavery
of the colored people has only changed its
form and the prosecutions to which they
are subjected are more violent and ma
licious than ever before.
In only one way have they been ad-
vanced in the south: They may not be
bodily owned by master.
But every one of them is owned, for
every one of them must have food and
shelter and the wherewthal to live.
Therefore, when race prejudice runs
riot and becomes an orgy of bloodshed
and the burning of homes, what is it but
hopeless slavery on large scale?
America prides herself upon protect
ing the weak.
It's people are indignant against the
treatment of the Belgians and the en-
shaving of small nations.
We send food sorely needed at home,
and much money to alleviate these con-
ditions, but ours must be sentimental,
unreasoning charity, and we can see in
justice only in a distant country where
there is long perspective and are I'M
able to visualise as sad a state before our
eyes.
We have made laws for all of our peo-
pie, and the colored race is part of US
These laws will mete out punishment
to the Negro much more surely than to
the white man.
This we know and yet the lynchings
which have been such a blemish upon the
south of this country show too plainly
that we are not law-abiding people but
rather ruled by passion, hatred and bar
barity
The great struggle now is economic.
We have shifted our battle ground to
the factory, the mills, the packing house.
1t is hands off to the Negroes lest the
white man may lose portion of his
substance.
Until we can put our own house in
order we must not be too critical of other
countries. Russia has treated the Jews
cruelty.
We are all aghast, but WHAT HAVE
WE DONE TO OUR OWN COLORED
PEOPLE?

THE RUNYAN EXHIBITION
OF PAINTING

By now, everyone knows of the ex-
hibitieH-of painting at the Clutter
music house. They are the original
work of Nh. M. G. Runyan, an artist
of this city, who has lived for many
years on Bayou Chico. Mr.. Runyan
is pupil of William Chase, an Amer
lean artist of note, having studied
under him in New York for several
years.
The. paintings comprise, for the
most part, water colors, although
there are several oils and a few pas
tells. The Water colors reproduce
scenes in or around Pensacola. on
Santa Rosa Island and in Milton.
Stretches of the white sand beach,
with the hint of blue water for a
background, or sunset sky, are very
suggestive. A group of water colors,
their subjects taken from in and
around old Fort McRae, are extreme
ly interesting; likewise, studies of
street corners in Pensacola, painted
% or "a years ago. The most in
teresting of these last are a corner
of Palafox and Wright, done in 1896,
and the Warren Fish House, on Pala-
fox Wharf, in 1894.
Many of the water coIors have as
their subjects the familiar flowers,
from the graceful wistaria and deli
cate peach bloom and orange bios
som of spring, the hardy summer
wild flower, to the rudy foliage of
autumn, AMI the purple grape, bronze
and Scuppernong.

as usual, special attraction. Mr..
Price, of Foit Barrancas. opened the
service with one of Tschaikowski's
Melodies, and later gave beautiful
rendering Of Raff's CavatIna; while
Mr.. Shultif's singing of Calvary
during the taking Of the offertory was
something that is not often heard in

have the pleasure of listening to him
