article, written by your editor, Nor

ENCOURAGEMENT. - No man
has the right to condemn a woman
for a mistake she would like to rec
tify. We're the soul of the average
man barred to the eyes of humanity,
the just judge would consider the
one mistake of a woman as insignif-
icant.
Any man with the least spark Of
manhood in his veins will gladly help
you forget and do all in his power
to help you. The brute who keeps
reminding you of it is only doing so
as a means to satisfy the craving
powers of his passions which are
dragging him down to hell. The real
man always respects the woman
who tries to do right and is only too
glad to help her.
l, myself, have married a girl of
this type, and after 40 years of mar
ried bliss, feel justified in saying that
l never had one reason to complain,
and that l have always found my
wife an ideal of purity and devotion,
a good companion and a real woman.

LYNCH LAW.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Mrs.
Ida Wells Barnett of Chicago, a
noted leader of the Negroes in
America, arrived in Washington
today to leave before the govern
ment a memorial of the National
Equal Rights league proposing
among other things that lynch
ing be made a federal crime.
she also is seeking to induce the
department of justice to under
take an investigation of the
wholesale killing of Negroes at
East ST. Louis. The memorial
says in pant:
Despite progress we are still
surrounded by an adverse senti-
ment which makes our lives
living hell. We are shut out by
trades unions and refused work.
We are rejected in business, in
professional service and even by
the government as clerks solely
because of color. The senate of
the United States has gone so far
as to have Jim Crow corner in
its gallery.
1--WE do now call upon President
Wilson to abolish that essential
violation of democracy, race Sc
gregation of government clerks,
and to recommend to congress
the enactment of laws:
(a) To enforce the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments of the
constitution, which forbids peon-
age and disfranchisement, there
by restoring to millions of Amer
leans their civil and political
rights; (b) to make lynching a
federal crime: (c) to forbid Sc
gregation for race in interstate
travel. or travel in federal ter
ritory."

tion by the President of the United
States. The Haitian government shall
clothe these officers with the proper
and necessary authority and uphold
them in the performance of their
functions. These officers will be re-
placed by Haitians, as they, by exam
ination conducted under direction of
a board to be selected by the senior
American officer of this constabulary
of the Haitian government, are found
to be qualified to assume such duties.
The constabulary herein provided for
shall, under the direction of the Hal
tian government, have supervision and
control of arms and ammunition, mill
tary supplies, and traffic therein,
throughout the country
The organization of the gendarmerie
was effected by Lieut.-Col. Smedley
D. Butler, who had gone to Haiti with
the rank of major, and as an adjutant
to General (then coloneD Cole. Its ef-
ficiency is unquestioned, and it has
1900 officers and men. Col. Butler,
who was commissioned by the Haitian
government, with the rank and pay of
general of division, appointed ma
rine officers and non-coms. to the sub
ordinate commands of the gendarmer
lie, in which without exception, the
privates were Haitians. Order was re-
stored and is maintained by this or
.ganization. But, while the total ex
pense is betrayed out of the Haitian
revenues, neither General Butler Ito

of the marines serving under him
have been bound by oath or contract
to support the Haitian authorities
They are still officers of the United
States Marine Corps on foreign duty.
drawing pay and extra allowances as
such, in addition to their pay from
the Haitian revenues. Under these
circumstances, there is no fear of an
organized revolt against General
Coles rule, especially as the Haitians
have been completely disarmed, and
have not even the nucleus of a mill
tary force other than the gendarmerie
if they may be said to have any part
in that beyond the cost of mainten
ance.

1t is now no longer possible for
man in Chicago who wants extra Ia
Dor to go to a railway station, give
a blanket order for tickets and have
them delivered at any station on the
order of his labor agent in the South.
The protest against this feature of
the labor exodus originated with the
Jackson Board of Trade, and was fl
nally carried to the United States In
terstate Commerce Commission
where the necessary order to- check
it was issued.
The agents have tried to evade this
order by wiring transportation money
over commercial telegraph lines to the
individual agents, and this has result
ed in the railroads issuing circulars
announcing that the individual agents
would not honor these orders or ac-
cept certified checks accompanying
them.
The railroads which have adopted
this measure are those east of the
Mississippi and south of the Potomac
and Ohio rivers.

RACE MEN OPEN
COUNTRY CLUB

Chesire, Conn.,. Sept. 25.-
With the opening of the Chesire
Country Club in this place, with
all the attractions and convenien-
ces of a modern country club,
the colored men composing its
membership now over 200, have
no doubt launched the most COM
plete organization of this kind
owned and operated by colored
men in this country. The club
house is conveniently located and
commands a splendid view. 1t
is less than fifty yards from the
tracks of the New Haven and
Waterbury trolly, and a finely
kept state trunk line highway
passes the club house. The
house has a board veranda across
the front and is nicely furnished.
The main entrance opens into
large parlor or ballroom and there
is a billiard room and several
committee rooms. The grounds
have tennis courts as we'll as
special picnic grounds. The
club is open all year round and is
in charge of a steward who
serves meals on short. notice.
The idea originated with Mr..
johnson L. Halle, of Waterbury,
who was for many years Stew
ard of the famous old Scoville
house. He is we'll known and
popular and has had no trouble
in securing the cooperation of
many men of means and high
standing. A golf course is now
being laid out on the grounds and
there is little doubt that the club
will be spendid success, though
by ministers of the
churches in nearby towns. The
place consists of % acres of we'll
wooded and rolling land, and is
a place of beauty. 1t is Is miles
from Waterbury and 25 miles
from New Haven.

REPUBLIC OF HAITI UNDER MILL
TARY RULE.

Washington, d. C-Haiti is now
under the complete domination of the
United States. This black republic is
now experiencing American military
rule after having enjoyed indepen-
dence for 113 years.
Both chambers of the Haitian Con-
gress have been adjourned by order
of Brig. Gen. Eli Kelley Cole of the
United States Marine Corps. While
President Philippe Sudre Dartiguen-
ave is accorded the honors president
and his cabinet has not been disband-
ed, the Haitians have but little to say
as to the running of their government.
The Haitian Congress and American
officials have not gone along well
since the American occupation. Some
cabinet members opposed Intervention
on the part of the United States,
pointing out that this country had no
more right to come to Haiti and in
terfere with it's internal affairs than
it had to take charge of the affairs in
Mexico. Here was the beginning of i'll
feeling.
Disagree over StipuIations.
Although the convention between
the United States and Haiti, signed
September 16, 1915, was in duplicate,
both French and English, it's ambigu-
ity led to an almost immediate disa-
greement between the Haitian and
American officials in matters of in
depreciation. The creation of a gen
darmerie, the first constructive work
of the Americans, was provided for by
article X, which stipulated that this
constabulary shall be organized and
officered by Americans, appointed by
