The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1918-09-28

The Mongall residence district which already become
notorious throughout the civilized world nfamy and
lmpuny of its lawess white element had another chapter
into its unenviabe record last Saturday night the
home OF Mrs Priscilla Quares located strictly Negro block
OF residences bombed by two cowardy white msceants
who fleeing Immediately the explosion The
only white people living enough to imagine themselves
offended by the proximity of Coored people those living
the half block just south of the Quares home
The house itself faces Monga and the All
other residents OF the block both sides Colored
cannot be urged that the Quares family had
in order to inrude themselves sensitive fair skinned
patriots.
The contemplate of thees white simply
characteristic of that class of people who have learned that they
do anything they desire to Coored people without the least
fear of detection and punishment If white had been
murdered at that and the time of night Jail
would have been full of Negroes before daylight but all the
of the city police department has thus far failed
ret out the perpetrators of these gross crimes against the Colored
people In fact but little effort has been made break up
this anarchc practice the police having for the part
confined their activities merely standing day
evidently waiting for the dynaiter to return and give him
self up.
Mrs ouarles has in France fighting world
democracy and the of this foul deed will not
much of inspiration them, especially when it
that practically effort has been made punish the dirty cu
pr Nor will the circumstances inspire those Negro boys and
here at home who have been called join their breh
the putting down unbearabe autocracy
1t must be plain everyone that these ouages simply
kept up because they permitted to go unpunshed 1t is
idle to fall back upon the abi that the criminals cannot be
found out That might suffice in instance but it cannot
avail the long chain of similar insults which have been heaped
the better class of people during the last few
during which the Negroes have had practically police
lection in their homes any upon which they could
rely for the punishment of those who wy and almost openly
None of the houses wrecked have been attacked be-
the dordey character of those who lived therein ALI
have been the newly acquired homes of the most decent and
gresve members of who have thus fied their de-
side live under better conditions than have heretofore been
enjoyed upon the back streets and side alleys But nothing
be done about it, of The police department sorry
very sorry but has idea who in the half block south of
Mrs Quares had any dynamite in his pocket or in his SOUL
ANOTHER CRIME THE SAME NIGHT
Not with this deadly intended assault upon the
residence of the Quare it thought that the msreants
bomb into the house at 1400 Garfield avenue into
which Wade Langley had just moved The two places quite
distance from each other and it evident that the perpe
have used fast motor which to carry them
selves and their explosives They not by OF the
police force although neghbo each place said to have
seen This particular block Garfield is about equally
divided white and Coored residents the former being
poorer cracker class and the latter of the most
bilious home-seekers among our people.
Neither of the houses seriously damaged
killed but that fault of the bomb hrowers who will
probably revisit short time and complete their
dastardly work.
