THE DUBOIS MATTER.

We have been an ardent admirer OF
W. E. Dubois for his manly qualities
and his punch of intellectualities In
literary effort. We are still as ardent
an admirer. We cannot bring our
minds to the point that any man like
him would, after years of struggle.
contumely from the higher-ups, the
equals and the lower-downs ingratf-
tude from friends, and designed mis-
understanding of his purposes. aims
and objects by others as well as petty
iealousies by few, sell out the race
or sacrifice his manhood for petty
job in the government. We do not
agree with our contemporaries even
in their biting criticism of this truly
great man who has fought his unpopu-
lar way to the top. Suppose the ar
ticle in the Crisis was all that they
could make out of it. why associate
his appointment, his article and the
selling out of the race? Would you
be willing, after life OF struggle to
the top to be judged by one single
act? We will let James Waters close
for US.

Council 8luff Youth "Fllrts with
THE Artueia'


C. A. Withrow, captain at No. S
fire station, Council Bluffs, has
received letter from his son,
Paul, mechanic in the aviation
corps at Kelly Field No. 4, San
Antonio, telling of a fall he had
of 800 feet in an aeroplane.
The youth was up in machine
with an aviator when one of the
main controlling wires of the ma
chine broke and caused the ma
chine to fall. When he recovered
from his "flirt with the angels, .
as he termed it, he was under the
engine. He suffered minor injur-
les and scratches and his nose
was broken.
Besides Paul, Mr.. Withrow has
two other sons in the service. Da-
vid 1S and Harry 81, both mem-
bers OF Company b of Co. Bluffs,
stationed at Camp Cody, Deming,
N. M. Harry was discharged soon
after the arrival of the company
at camp. Two other sons, Carl j.
20, and J. r., 81, are subject TO
the draft.
The above item refers to a
cousin of Mrs. R. G. Lahman and
the nephew of Harry Withrow of
this city. Paul Withrow's parents
were former residents of Mo.
Valley.
