KISS THE FLAG.

Over in Pine BiuT there was an ex- ceTAion from the average run of Arkansans. in that man was found w1io made di paraging remarks about President Wilson, about our country, about our part in the war, and pre- dicted that the enemy would and should win the war
 A little group took hold of the in- diuidual, confirmed the truth of his actions. and then decided that pub iicly he would be forced to kiss the American flag, or? The happen inCs scheduled in the event he failed were not reported
 The man kissed the flag, wrapped it about his body, and satisfied those who had him in charge.
 The kiss may have been the kiss of Judas, but the incident furnished the example the men in charge of the affair wanted 1t to furnish.
 There are isolated cases hereabouts of persons who are insulting in their remarks about our government. They are enjoying freedom bought with the life blood of our ancestors, and maintained through the life blood of our own generation-yet they will not come to appreciate that freedom nor to love that liberty.
 The public is not in tolerant mood with such persons. We do not desire to inflame prejudice. but word of warning might serve useful pur- pose. A long time ago our govern ment told the alien enemies within our gates to keep their mouths shut" is they could not give voice to patri- otic utterances Most of them have done this. Some ot them have not.
 The American people are the most tolerant in the world They will have their rights infringed day in and day oaft-lhut there will come a time when they become intolerant, and then they 6o not care so much about the access Co the courts in their vengeance.
 Let the Judas who insults the flag be made to kiss it.

PULLMAN HOTEL
 SOLD AT SACRIFICE
UNDER THE HAMMER YESTER- DAY THIS PROPERTY BROUGHT
 $5e,10t AT AUCTION.
w. Nj. Martin Was the Buyer and the Property Is Believed to Be Worth Almost Double That Sum in Actual Value.

Yesterday the Pullman Hotel prop erty, with it's sixty feet front on Cen tral aYenue, it's side street frontage Gull on Bath street, and extending O Exchange street on the west, was sold under the hammer for the sum of s58, ,l01.
 The property was sold under the hammer to satisfy a court judgment in the federal court. Its sale was or dered some time ago. and was well advertised, but there is so little real estate activity hereabouts at this time that fears were entertained for some time that there would not be keen competition for it.
 The property in dhe pas, has seen value as high as $l50000 At one time Mir. Joe LonginotG was offered that sum for it. but the property was bringing in such an income, and the future of Ihe city seemed so estab- lished, that he refused the offer. Later 1t would have been easy 10 dis pose of the property for $l00,000, but | that time also had passed, and when it came to be sold at forced sale un- der the hammer, it brought little m ore than a third of what it once could | have been handled for.

DEMOCRACY WILL GAIN,

Prof. Charles E. Merriam in an ar
ticle on the "War for Freedom" as
sumes that as a result of the present
war both civil liberty and industrial
democracy will be the gamers in every
country in the world and the United
States will be no exception. Here are
some of the things he has to say:
"Since the outbreak of the war
democracy has achieved important sue
cesses, the significance of which may
well be carefully weighed.
First in Importance comes the over
throw of the Russian autocracy, and
the substitution of democracy. Even
the most optimistic friends of free
government had not dared to hope for
so swift and sweeping a victory las has
actually been won.
in England labor has been recog-
nized in the coalition cabinet, and
upon all great industrial questions has
been brought into close cooperation
with the government. Home rule for
Ireland is we'll on it's way, and suffrage
for women is apparently about to
achieve it's final success.
In Germany and Austria the rumb.
lings of democracy are being heard,
even above the roar of the cannon
The abolition of the three class system
in Prussia; the Encouragement of the
Reichstag districts, which have been
unchanged since 1869; the grant of
broader suffrage in Austria, are con-
cessions which the ruling class must
make to the people.
1T is not possible to raise the flag
of democracy, and organize a great
crusade against autocracy, without ad-
vancing the line of democracy in every
country in the world, whether on one
side Of the contest or the other. If
there are autocrats who hope to use
the name and seal of democracy as a
means of obtaining political or Geo.
nomic privilege, they are doomed to
disappointment. They are Enchanting
democratic forces that cannot be
quieted without full recognition Of
their position in society and the state.
In the long run, both civil liberty and
industrial democracy will be the gain
ers in every country in the world.
America will be no exception"
War is a horrible thing viewed from
any angle, but good will come out of
it and when it is over many of the old
prejudices and distinctions which have
cursed the world will have been
burned away.

The Color Line in the Catholic Church.
(F'rom the Southwestern Christian Ad-
vocate, New Orleans, Lay
There are two hundred thousand
colored Catholics in the United States
according to Walter F. McEntfre, a
prominent Catholic, who in telling of
the orders and societies of men and
women working among color people in
the United States, among other things
says in the Tidings, of Los Angeles:
1.-THE Church knows no color-line in
the House of God, and any man who
tries to lay one down is not a true
Catholic"
This is good reading but it is not
true to fact. There are only two COL
ored priests in the entire Catholic
colored constituency of America, and
the Catholic Church is the only reli-
gious body in America that forces on
it's constituency white ministry.
Moreover, the color issue is drawn as
completely in the Catholic Church as
elsewhere There was a time when
the Catholic churches welcomed col
ored people to the affairs but not now.

served for colored

SHOULD REDUCE BURDENS IN

David R. Francis, American ambas.
sador at Petrograd, has wisely issued
statement, in which he explains to
the people of Russia the aims of the
mission headed by ex-senator Root.
There is no person, says Mr.. Francis,
on the commission who desires to in
fluence Russian internal affairs. This
is intended to dispose of charges and
insinuations that have been made in
ultra-radical Petrograd organs. The
mission has only two functions, the
ambassador declares. One is further
to elucidate the motives and objects
of the United States in entering the
war, and the other to TRY to reduce
the burdens and privations of the Rus

Worse Than Belgium.

New York, July -"Swift and Sc
we're punishment" for the East St.
Louis mobs was demanded by the So
cialist leader, William English Wall
ing, in telegram to President Wilson
today.
Such punishment is necessary, Wall
ing said, because "of the dangerous
effect of race riots in America on rev.
dictionary Russia, South America and
Japan"
Walling characterized the uprising
as partly the result of German agents
efforts to stir up race war to keep
American troops at home and partly
the result of an attempt by the South
ern states to keep the Negro under
their thumb.
s Speaking as a member of the execu-
tive committee of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People, Walling, in his telegram,
said
The international and military sit
uation calls for immediate action.
There must be swift and severe pun
ishment for the mob. But this will not
suffice. There should be an immedi-
ate presidential proclamation in the
present military exigency that the full
military power of the nation will be
used in defense of the lives and lib
erty Of our colOred fellow citizens .

Will Sue for DAMAGES.

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, with
former Judge Edward Osgood Brown
OF the appellate court president of the
local. chapter, is planning to institute
suits under the Illinois statutes against
the city of East st. Louis and St. Clair
county for personal damages on be-
half of the dependents of the Negro
men and women who died at the hands
OF the 1ncensed mobs in the orgy of
murder ANDERSON several days ago.
Under the statutes, the dependents
have actions against both the city and
the county for damages to property,
life and limb, the judgments not to ex-
coed $4,000 in each case. This may
mean suits for nearly $1,O00,000 when
the final loss of the scores killed, the
hundreds injured and the many homes
destroyed is recorded. -.
