ACTION IN RACE RIOTS
Takes Up With Attorney General
East St. Louis and Chester Kill
ings-Negroes Protest.

President Wilson now has under consid-
GRAFTON with the Attorney General the
question Of how justice shall be melted out
to the race rioters of East St Louis and

This became known today as the result
OF assurances given a delegation of

TumultE, secretary to the President
The delegation, headed by James Weldon
Johnson. field secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement of Col
ored People, represented a committee Of
the negro silent protest parade" in
Hnich l,5oo colored men. women and chill
dren took part in New York Saturday
The members of the delegation said
they came to the White House. "rep-
resenting not only the negro silent
protest parade but 100000 citizens
whose devotion and loyalty to the ma
ton have never been questioned, who.
when the present storm of war broke
over our heads. took their UNQUALIFIED
stand side by side with the original
American stocks that landed at Ply
mouth Rock and al Jamestown"
A copy of a petition to the President
ana to Congress was presented to the
PRESIDENTS secretary which recited that
In the last thirty-one years 1857 col
ored men and women have been lynch
ed by mobs in the United States with
out trial, and that less than half a
dozen persons out of the tens of thou
SANDS involved have received any pun
isnment whatsoever for those crimes.
and that not a single one has been pun,
ished for murder
In addition to this, the petition
stated. mobs have harried and murder
ed colored citizens time and time again
with impunity. dominating in the lat
est atrocity at East ST. Louis, where
nearly hundred innocent. hard-work-
ing cItlZens were done to death in
broad daylight for seeking to earn an
honest living" The petition continued:
we believe that this spirit of law
lessness Is doing untold injury to our
proves that the states are either nm
wiling or unable to Put down Iynching
and mob violence"
The delegation urged that lynchinp
ana MOP violence be made a national
crime, punishable by federal laws, and
that this be done by federal enactment

Great City Perpetual Problem.

After dealing at some length with the
ways in which state universities have
developed farming, the report con-
cludes:
The great city has ever been the
problem of every civilization from
Babylon. Nineveh and Rome to our own
times. The cry of back to the land is
mostly theoretical sentimentalify, be
cause it is entirely impra ctica BILE. The
real answer to the portentous menace
of the great congested center is to
make life on the farm attractive and
worth while, for the problem is even
more social than economic. In Kan
sas. as elsewhere. all the forces and
resources of the college of letters and
science and of agriculture are invok ed
in the aid of the farmer"

Basis of Democracy.

1T is already an axiom tnat the eN-
istence OF democracy depends upon the
intelligence of its citizens. but II Is not
readily apparent to the belated per
ception of much of the business world
that intelligence and education are the
greatest of all commercial assets. FOR
they carry with them initiative IN ac-
ton, energy and perception IN the DE :
velopment o. resources. the ways OF
free spending, the genius of invention
and efficiency. and. in truth, all the es-
Sentials of advancement and progress.
An education which means these things
needs to go farther than mere rudi-
ments and must give opportunity to
the many. SO ii is that in these essen
tials the state university is the last
word in democratic education.
Taking up co-education, the report
says:
THE coed. as she is generally
known. has the opportunity of a prac-
ical test of comradeship during her
four years Sojourn at college. and the
roll of marriage licenses in after years
between classmates is the best answer
to the SpeciouS statement that educa-
ton gives woman "A distaste for domeS

New First Stacker
For Omaha; Brokaw
To Play in 0utfield

Pa Rourke has bought Hugh
Bradley from the Columbus club of
the American association to fill the
hole made by Cy Forsythe's jump to
he Arizona Copper league.
Bradley will play first base and
Hal Brokaw, who has been moving
down the grass at this bag, will shift
TO the outfeld, his regular position.
The newcomer will report to the
Rourkes at St. Joseph Friday.
Bradley is the man who succeeded
Ray Miller at Columbus last year.
Columbus judged him a better man
than Ray and sent Miller to Omaha.
He played l46 games, batted $50
and fielded 1872. He is said to be a
sensational fielder and consistent
hitter, especially in the pinches.
With Bradley at first it is believed
the Rourkes will be even stronger
than they were when Forsythe was
cavorting around right field, for Bro
kaw is much better fielder than
Cy and more dependable ball play
er, even if not so hard a hitter.

batted freely by Joplin in the first
three innings, but frightened up and
granted the Miners only three hits in

get through him for three bases,

ing Smith and Dalton scored him with

home run gave the Miners two more

With the count 5 to 0 against them,
PA" Rourke's boys began counting
in the third and then kept at it con-
sistently until they won. Watkins
walked and C. Thompson singled,
each advancing on Burg's sacrifice.
