minds to sell their lives as dearly as
possible Firearms are expensive,
but they can be secured and "a mans
home is his castle" as much so In the
Southland as 1t Is in the Northland
To carry these unarmed, helpless,
praying, good-natured colored folks
from their homes in the Far South
to die in this northern land was
almost as much a crime against hui
manity as was their massacre with
ering blight upon our present day
civilization. Colored folks going
North should see to 1t that conditions
are favorable.
1t Is long way to realization Of
all of our hopes, but sometime, some
where and in some way, God will
aid us and help us, If we show a
rigid determination to aid and help
ourselves. This latest tragedy should
be condemned from every pulpit in
the land and the sermons upon 1t
should last for not less than six
months. The colored newspapers Of
the country Should take it up as a
subject for comment for at least q
year to come. We have stood many
things, but this latest manifestation
Of heathenism, savagery and fiendish-
ness is without q parallel in the
history of this country.

Hunter, IS years and one month old,

enjoys the distinction of being the young
est sailor In the navy. which fact has
been called to the attention of President
Wilson. The age limit in the navy is ls
years, but this has been waived in the
case OF Hunter because of his expires
sions Of patriotism to the recruiting offi-
GERS and the consent Of his father. James
T. Hunter.

The enlistment OF Hunter clears for the
first time the mystery surrounding the
boys whereabouts. Several months ago
In defiance OF orders from the Juvenile
Court. Mr.. Hunter took his son out of
Washington, beyond the Jurisdiction Of
the court and refused to disclose his
whereabouts, even though the court de-
manded the return OF the boy.
1t was learned yesterday that the son
had been taken to Philadelphia, where he
procured employment in the Baldwin Lo-
eomotive Works. He went TO work as an
assistant mschinist and was steadi ? en-

The ''punctdred toy balloon case"
which has attracted more than 4ssins
attention in Washington. has been ought
in the local courts for more ths 1 two
years, and still remains unsettled. 4unter
was arrested on Pennsylvania avenue
during the G. 4. r reunion for playfully
pricking a toy balloon in the hands OF a
vender.
He was hailed before the Juvenile
Court, and was sentenced to the Ma
tional Training School for Boys. This
sentence was suspended and the boy was
placed on probation. The case was Wig
orously fought by his father who charged
that his son was being continually "har-
rasSed" while on probation and declared
hat the officials were branding the boy
as criminal because of his mischievous
prank.
The case see-sawed between the Juven-
lie Court and the District Supreme Court
and is now in the former tribunal on a
writ Of prohibition. Meantime the boy
is serving his country. and it is not like
ly that the officials wiz bring him back,
