OF lawlessness and lynching, and

usually practictd against the negro
VINO, without his consent. was
stolen from Africa and brought to
this country, who has made aeon
tribution to the agricultural wealth
OF the country perhaps greater
than any other race of American
people, and yet he he is selected
at he object upon which to vent
American hate, and upon whom
to practice American lawlessness.
There never was a an anar-
chist among negroes. They be-
lieve in obeying the law. and yet
anarchists like Emma Goldman
can sta up sedition, urge insurrec
ton against the government, and
go practically unmolested, while
the poor negroes in East St. Louis
for no other crime than that they
wanted work were pounced upon,
many OF them beaten death, their
houses burned, and they themsel-
YES driven from their houses by
hyenas and tigers in human form.
We are pleased to see one white
preacher have the manly courage
OF his honest convictions and not
AFRAID to express them. II all of
the white preachers would dare to
speak out to their congregations
and the white press Of the coun-
try would be just in, their wrings
of thee poor and defencelss, Ne
groes who are loyal to the flag
and of government which fails
to give protection to these citizens
it would have bearing on these
outlaws in this country.
The law is made by the white
man, and he is the first to break
the same law he has made, and
when SO broken il the crime was
committed against Negroes. then
race prejudice prevents full execu-
ton of the law. o, White Man,
be just, be good lest your sins be

The Curse Of Illinois.
Reporter.

Illinois the home of Lincoln
And the boasted State of the free
You have refrigerated in civilization,
And suffered massacre,
In East ST. Louis your promising city,
A city of commercial fame,
Your people have turned to barbarians
And climaxed your record of shame,
With numbering of innocent blackmen.
Women and children alike,
All because of prejudice,
While they were defenseless to strike.
No historical picture of the DARK
Ages"
Can be painted to compare
With the fiendish orgies of the mob
That ran wild like heatherns there.
Thus against the murderers of the
Armenians
And the down trodden Russian Jews ~
You must stop your vllifying
For YOU now stand in their shoes.
And of all the States of the Union
You stand the most disgraced
For no wanton massacres
To any others can be traced.
Yet you may exact in damages
Indemities of money for this affair,
But the punishment for these offenders
And since the American-G German crisis
Mobs have turned the Negroes heart
to stone.
Who knows that after the war
Wen reap what we have sown?

Plain words from the text,
Thou shalt do no murder. were
concering the East St. Louis riots
by Rev. DIR. s. w. Lee in the
pulpit OF the Southern Methodist
Chuch Grand Ave, Sunday from
his pulpit. DIR. Lee blamed the
situation on politicians without
conscience. As a warm friend
OF the negro, DIR. Lee cited the
fidelity OF the negro slaves to the
families in which they served dur
ing the civil war. He pleaded
for a recognition of authority and
a world purified of cruelty.
Jesus said, Thou shalt do no
murder. Matt 3o:IS," he quoted
"One among many OF the awful
consequences OF war is that not on

elements in human nature, but al

I'VE have heard a great deal
about irightiulness in Europe re-

accumulation OF black deeds, OF
unspeakable crimes. such perhaps
no previous are ever knew. But
we have been recently made aware
OF the fact by the story of horrors
about which we have read taking
place at our very doors in East
ST. Louis. that there is frightful-
ness at home just as unspeakably
criminal and malignantas any we
have read OF in Europe.
The record given in one OF
the city papers, which tells OF the
deliberate murderous brutality dis
played against the poor negroes,
in the state OF Lincoln, is as bad
as anything. as the Armenian by
the Turks. or in Belgium by the
Germans.

harmed no one, set upon by white
women OF the underworld and an
swering the course sallies OF men
as they beat the negresses faces
and breasts with fists, stones and
sticks. Think oi hot-headed
youths, mixed now and then with
men OF middle age enjoying as it
were. a kind Of sport in the task
of destroying the life Of every dis
covable black man.
Think OF all this, and remem-
ber that there were but few militia
men to be seen anywhere, and
with no serious effort on the part
OF those who were seen to prevent
bloodshed. Think OF men in uni
orm frankly fraternizing with the
murderers engaged in killing the
negroes. Think of all this and
more, given in a most careful re-
port by one of the best reporters
in our city. and then see il you
can recall anything worse that ev-
er happened in Belgium or Poland
or Armenia or anywhere else on
the face OF the earth.
Hang Heads in Shame.
mo wonder that the American
people have any regard for law
and order or any pity for the suf-
fering and the oppressed are led
to hang their heads in shame at
this, the latest and the latest and
the worst outbreak of hate against
the negro ever known in the Uni
ted States.
Sin is a modern poison. the
spirit OF God is representen as
praying to man in the following
words:
Man, o Man, pray you to forsake
your tribal god and worship only Me.
For am your everlasting Redeerner,
AS you have need of Me. SO have
need of you.
Therefore, Man, o Man, have mercy
upon Me!
Though am deathless, ! am not i'm
mune to pain.
And every evil that is done upon earth
hurts me;
Every shot that is fired passes through
Me,
The wound of every man wounded is
My wound:
Every cruelty that is perpetrated is
perpetrated or me;
Whatever is stolen is stolen from Me;
All the blood that is shed is My blood
When the earth is defled with slaugh-
ter,
My garden is laid waste.
Man o, Man, have mercy upon Me.
1T is just as reasonable for God to
pray to man as it is for man to pray to
God. Must we not think therefore, at
thine God is praying to man as He
never did before.
MAN, o Man, have merry upon Me.
''God must certainly have been pray
ing to the murderers of negroes in
