Unique Field Sports
To Feature Fourth
In Plattsburg Camp
Student Officers to Swim,
Hurdle and Jump in
One Race

Plattsburg, July "a unique pro-
grsmme of field sports, designed TO re-
veal the prowess of the students in a
military way, has been arranged for the
Fourth. In a two-mile cross country
run the men will be required TO swim,
hurdle. broad jump and high jump, as
we'll as run.
Starting from a breakway 400 yards
Off shore, they will swim 10 the main
land, pause TO slip on pair of shoes,
and then, after climbing steep bank
and leaping over a twelve-foot ditch,
they will be of for difficult success
sion of stone walls, country roads and
swamp lands, ending on the parade
ground. Other events include pistol
and rife shooting, a riding contest, a
tug of war and ball game between
the regimental teams.
To put final polish on the hand-to-
hand sighting, a course has been con-
structed which includes a trench, wire
entanglemcnts. gallows from which
dummies are suspended, two hurdles,
another galIows with dummies. a
trench lined with dummies and an
earthwork with still more mannikins
behind it,
The effgies placed in the trenches
will afford much needed practice in
fighting within narrow confines. As a
prelude 20 this step the men to-day
were given instruction on the parade
ground in jabbing straight up into the
throat Of an adversary should long
thrust be impractical. The use of the
rife as a club and OF knee or foot as
weapons when the adversary is in kick
ing distance were also explained. A
thousand women who have arrived 20
spend the Fourth were spellbound as
they viewed the drill from the porches
Of The barracks.

PAYING THE FULL PRICE.

Aristocracy is aristocracy whether
displayed by race, society, labor un-
ions, churches, governments or what
not, and If America means real de-
mocracy to be world wide, much Work
must be done here. In these crucial
times when America has entered war
the length and outcome OF which no
body knows, several thousand people
assemble around an American citizen
In mob formation in struggling and
Christian America, gathering around
their victim, make merry while his
body is saturated with oil and to give
the occasion an ennobling appearance
of a lofty celebration, the unveiling OF
the Statue of Liberty, or dedication

Gods noblest specimen, Is called upon
to apply the torch. Almost as pleas

rors Mortified! This American citizen
chained to log, saturated In OIL lur-
nished the despicable sight, as the
raging flames engulfed him, licking up
on his human form and reduced it to
ashes. With one ear the Negro lis
tens to the bugle call, with the other
ear he hears the footsteps of the mob,
and the groans and cries Of his peo-
pie; with his eyes he sees Old Glory,
the dearest and only flag and swears
to 1t his allegiance, yet his thinking
mind and pierced soul feel the gaping
wounds of the recent st. Louis riots
freshly torn assunder. With all OF
this we must not lose our heads; yet
be wise as serpents.

Dear Sir:
The Colored citizens of the Great
West urgently call upon you to use
the powers Of your high office to bring
to justice the principals in the brutal
and barbaric tragedy enacted at Mem
phis, Tenn, on May 22nd. 1t is al
most inconceivable that the very hour
when a Great Nation of boasted high
ideals is preparing to force an end
to the awful carnage and slaughter
of human lives in Continental Europe,
should countenance within its own
doors deeds of atrocity more fiendish
than those Of the dark ages.

Americans in the annals Of the County
enthusiastically support Professor
Smith and his teachers and make these
commencement features Q source of
Inspiration to the race In this county.
About 1900 children from various
schools participate in the paTades. The
exhibits are highly creditable. Thsss
events have largely increased the en-
rollment and attendance Of the chil
drsn in the county.
Professor Smith saw tho necessity
Of having an institution in his county
for the training Of teachers and has
succeeded admirably well In making
the Smithneld Training school Q factor
for the Development of the county
teachers. This institution has q board
ing department for students and annu-
ally conducts Q summer school. His
efforts have caused a wholesome CO
operation on the part Of the people, the
teachers and the county superintendent
Of education. He has created the kind
Of enthusiasm that Is helping the Ne
gro In the south to overcome obstacles.
This Is due to the fact that young men
Of his type are absolutely essential in
work of uplift Of the masses Of our
people. As an example of bis efiicien-
cy and the confidence the educational
officials have in him Professor Smith
has charge Of the reports and the en-
ployment OF teachers in his county.
All applications from teachers are re.
ferred to him, and the selection Of the
local school committees, composed Of
Afro-Americans, constitutes another
phase Of his work. ffs
