Adopt Resolutions of Loyalty and Ap-
,.,,... peal for Equal Riahts Tor -a..a+
Negro Citizens.

The nineteenth annual session or
the Imperial Council. A. E. A. o. N.
M. S., was held August 6, and in
Detroit, Mich. " ..
On account of the disturbed condi-
tion of the country, all parades, drills,
etc., we're dispensed with, and, only
the business of the Imperial Council
transacted The session was largely
attended by Mobiles from all over the
United States. A remarkably peace
full meeting was held. A large in
crease in membership was made dur
ing the past year, with prospects OF
stupendous growth in this branch OF
the Masonic Order in the next few
years. The policy of the Imperial
Council in electing energetic and pro-
gressive men in high official capacities
is responsible for the interest and
enthusiasm displayed among Shriners
throughout the country.
Minnesota, numerically weak, when
compared to many of the large Shrine
centers, brought back the highest
honor in Shrinedom, Noble Jordan M.
Morris being elected Imperial Poten-
tate of the Ancient, Egyptian, Arabic
Order Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine for
North and South America. The con-
ferring of this high Office on Noble
Morris is a recognition of the splen-
did constructive work done by him for
the Order for many years.
Among the important business trans
acted was the adoption of resolutions
pledging loyalty Of all Shriners and
an appeal for. better treatment OF
Negro citizens by our government.
Noble Chas. H. Robinson, Past
Grand Master of Minnesota, who has
been closely identified with the I'M
perial Council for several years has
been untiring in his efforts to bring
this honor to the Twin Cities.
Detroit displayed its usual hospital
ity to the visiting Mobiles and added
much to the success of the meeting
and pleasure of all present. Kansas
City, Mo-, was chosen as the next
place of meeting, August, 1918.

FRIENDS UNIT UNTIL TESTED.

They Love the "coIored Brother" but
Not at Close Range. --...
In recent letter Savoyard writes
to the New York World:
Replying to something that l wrote
about the status of the Negro, north
and south. @. G. Alleyne complains of
what he thinks are hardships visited
on the Negroes at the south. such as
jimcrow cars and triumphantly affirlns:
1.-The south thinks it is glorious for
the Negro to be a laborer and infamous
for him to be a man."
That means that it is better for the
Negro to go north and be murdered
than remain south. where he is denied
social equality. That is all it means.
Now. let us see about the social
equality enjoyed by the Negro at the
north. The Western Reserve Of Ohio
Is the offspring of Connecticut and Of
blue law" Connecticut at that. For
seventy years this section was repre-
sented in the national house of repre-
sentatives by Elisha Whittlesey. Joshua
r. Giddings. James A. Garfield and
Ezra B, Taylor. all of whom preached
the absolute equality Of all races and
proclaimed the nobility of the Negro.
Ben Wade also was from the Western
Reserve. ..
Summit county is in the Western Re-
serve, and Akron is it's capital A year
or two ago some well to do Negroes of
that town bought houses in the aristo-
cratic precincts and fixed to occupy
the same. Then the devil was to pay.

the vulgar herd. but tho -Four Hundred.
the clergy. the bench. the bar. the mag
mates of the Rialto and the princes of
the counting house. They assembled
in town meeting and served notice on
those Negroes to stay in the Negroes
place. There was rioting-as ! recol-
lect. bloodshed. Be that as 1t may, the
Negro did not invade that section. He
remained in his jimcrow corner
According to your northern hypocrite.
it is awful for the Negro to travei In u

lovely for him to live in jincrOw
house at the north.

gress by a convict than by suc:. Il Nc

SPECIAL. TRIBUTE TO HOLMES
Evening World Praisc3 Courage OF the
Murdered Police Officer.

Honor to tic courage and devotion to
duty shown by the Negro policeman,
Robert Holmes, who was shot to death
early on the morning OF Aug. q while
pursuing n burglar known to be armed
and desperate.
This city can well afford to pay spe-
cial tribute to the bravery and faithful
ness Of one of its Negro guardians OF
public safety at moment when in 9th
er parts Of the country white men who
call themselves Americans have been
ready to cast aside law and justice and
plunge into vicious, insensate, murder
Gus persecution OF unOtrending citizens
whose skins are black.
New York has felt nothing but dis
gust for such brutal perversiOns OF true
Americanism. 1t has sympathlzed with
the aroused sentiment Of law abiding
Negroes in this city and lately viewed
with understanding and approval the
orderly demonstration by which the
colored people Of New York silently
registered their protest.
Policeman Holmes was shot while
faithfully performing his duty.
For the rest Of the country that
means that the city Of New York trust
ed Negro with one OF the most re-
sponsible functions Of its public service
that Of public protection-and Is
proud to report that he gave his life to
show himself worthy of that trust.

wild and dissolute reveiries in which
white American savages-men, women
and children-engage with the brazen-
ness of Fits. In spite Of these occa-
sional appeals the spirit Of lynching
and mob violence is spreading like
wildfire.
These atrocious crimes are multi
plying because the habit of lynching
has become an ingrained. racial trait
that is being handed down from father
to son. The men who lead mobs and
lynch are among the procreators of the
race. and the women who indulge In
the sport arc the mothers. In due time
children are born unto these people.
THUS we have in the very blood Of
the race that does the lynching rich
strain of hatred and brutality. The
mob spirit is growing because children
arc being born daily unto women
whose husbands, sons and daughters
take part in bloody orgies.
UNLESS lynching is checked young
Americans will poison the blood Of the
whole race and the strain will become
so strongly brutal that mobs will rack
their bruins in search Of every conceiv-
able method of torture to excel in their
revoiting practices.
"Nothing remains to be done but to
make and administer adequate laws
and to begin at the fircside. to teach
white children to respect the laws Of
our land and to have correct esti-
mate OF tho value Of human life.
White children are allowed to trample
with impunity upon the rights of citi-.
zens Of color and to treat the women
of the race with contempt.
Controlled by the laws Of procrea-
tion aud flrcside indulgence. We Should
not be surprised to see them applaud
when human beings are being roasted
alive ut the stake.

white flends. because when we roame4

the jungles naked our basest savage
practices were Of u more civilized kind
Let all Americans remember that one
race cannot hate another without it
self returning to savagery. ..
"Some years ago the author Of Wis
dom's Call told the American people
that If lynching was not stopped the
blood Of the white race would be so
tainted until murder would stalk
abroad in the land and the blood Of the
innocent would flow like rivers. We
are now marching to the music Of that
prophecy. 1t is time for us to call upon
God to save America"

Special Cops to Handle Drunks

The Southern Pacific has found
it necessary to maintain a special
policeman on a train running be-
tween Ashland and Redding, Cal,
to keep order among the DRINKS.
Men coming south from the dry
states of Washington and Oregon
strike an oasis of booze at Horne
brooke, the first town in California
where the train stops for any con-
siderable length of time. The train
stops for 10 minutes and this gives
the thirsty travellers ample time to
load up with bottles in the saloons.
By the time the train reaches
Shasta county the booze has had
time to take effect and there is
plenty of work for a policeman in
preserving order.

ENEMY HAS BIG
CAVALRY FORCE
MEROCS THAN AT WARS
OPENING

FRENCH FRONT, Dec. 81. -
Trench warfare has not diminished
the German cavalry forces, as had
been generally supposed, for infor-
nation which has reached the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press
shows the total of squadrons in the
service to be even higher than it
was at the mobilization in 1914.
Changes, however, have been intro
duced in the mounted arm of the
service by which some of the squad
rons temporarily have been dis
mounted and utilized as infantry,
while the formations have under
gone considerable variation.
At present the German army has
at it's disposal no fewer than $40
squadrons of cavalry. comprising
active, reserve, mobile ersatz, land
wehr and landsturm units, but of
these LA have been separated from
their horses and used as infantry.
This figure compares with 440
squadrons on a peace footing.
When war began the German cav
airy was at once formed into IL di-
visions. each composed of six regi-
ments of four squadrons. Besides
these, there we're also the bodies of
divisional cavalry attached to the
active and reserve divisions of in
fantry.
Rumania's entry into the war
made more cavalry formations nee
essary and the number of organized
divisions was at once increased to
fourteen.
The spring of 1917 saw the end
Of the Rumanian campaign, and
with this came a decrease of the d.
visional formations to six, while
the divisions themselves were re-
duced from six regiments to four
each. At the same time independent
brigades of mounted troops were
formed, of which the existence Of at
least five is known, each having
three regiments of four squadrons
each.
Nearly every infantry division is
provided also with a unit of cavalry
whose strength varies according to
the nature of the country in which
the troops are operating.

1S-inch seam of heavy sulphide ore.
This is apparently in the same vein
that has been opened on the 500

foot level the drift is nearing the
point of intersection of the two
veins, and it is here that the best
results are confidently expected.
Manager Dyer say that he was
led to undertake the prospecting
now in progress on the 700-foot
level by the results obtained in
sinking the core drill, at the 100

there was shown, at the south, a

which carries owe two per cent
