EASTER OFFERING

This Easter morning, the anniversary of
the Ascension of Him, who died for the re-
demption of fallen man, our Father in Heav
en-, we pray for a re-baptism of the Holy
Ghost we pray for redistribution of the
love of Heaven among the peoples of this
earth, that each and all of us may love our
neighbors as ourselves, and that we may all
do unto others as we would have them do to
u.s. we pray thee that man be freed from
the greed of gain tothe detriment Of his fell
bowman that all Of us may live in peace with
man and beast Touch the hearts Of those
precipitating the wholesale slaughter Of men
inthe present world-war, and turn them from
the fields Of carnage and destruction. Send
again. we pray thee, thy Son to drive the
devil and his imps from the temples devoted
to thy honor and glory. Christianize the
hearts of the rulers of men and nations that
they may disarm their warning hosts that
may return to the bosoms of their families,
where they will serve Thee around their
fresides until called to that house not made
with hands, eternal in the Heavens"
Mighty God, Creator of Heavens and earth,
save the souls that are returning to the God
that gave them from the bloody battlefelds,
and may they find rest from their sorrows
in thy everlasting Kingdom. Sooth the sor-
rows, the sobs and the sighs of the mothers
and children who are weeping in silence at
home for husbands and fathers, and may
they, too, be baptised in the love of Christ,
and in future live in the assurance that their
souls will be received among the Angels,
when to them time is no more. May this
drenching of human blood be the initiation
of the Millennium when all men will recognize
the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood
of man.

who inveigle themselves in to office, so as to
enable them to rob the government cash box
of multiplied millions of dollars. Even in
these war times unscrupulOus men are syste-
matically robbing the government OF millions
of dollars. An investigation is now going on
in Hog Island, where the government has
been duped out of millions of dollars. And
as in this instance so almost in all where the
'patriotic" citizens have dealings with the
government treasurer. From Chicago pa
per it was learned that that city's expert tes-
timony during the year 1917 cost the tax
payers $736,326, the most of which was
drawn down by political ward heelers, who
had been more or less instrumental in the
nomination and election of the alderman of
his ward, but who knew little or nothing of
the thing they were giving expert testimony
on. One, John F. Wallace, a Chicago ward
heeler, who was made expert testifer by the
alderman in the ward in which both of them
resided, received during the year 1917 $780,
600 for the expert testimony he gave to pre-
vent the city from being robbed. In another
ward Frank H. Mesce, also an aldermanic
ward heeler, was paid $35 1893 for 1917. Here
are two men who drew from the government
a salary little short of that paid to the
President Of the United States and yet the
people put up Win IL ana stand Tor IT, and
we sometimes think they do so in the hope
that like streak of lightning will some day
hit them. Appropriating the valuables Of the
government for the benefit Of an individual
is not considered thievery by persons in Of
flee, and yet it is. A few years ago when
one, James E. Bradford, was corporation
counsel Of Seattle, he was charged with
building up system of professional expert
testifers, and God knows where it would
have ended had it not pleased the daily pa
pers to defeat him for reasons and causes diff
ferent from the expert testimony grafters
he was accused of fostering Public grafters
should be dealt with according to law if pos
sible, but if not possible, then dealt with ac-
cording to the vigilance committee law

CALIFORNIA HUMANE SOCIETY

We feel like saying Amen to the P-I for
roasting that branch of the so-called humane
society down in California that is shedding
crockadile tears over the slaughter of jack
rabbits, when human beings are being butch
cred almost by the millions over in Europe,
but granting that to be too far fetched for
minds so dwarfed as are the members of the
California branch of the humane society," if
it would cast scrutinizing eye over the
south Of this country, it would see black men
being burned at the stake and the occasion
made general holiday, with the men and
women fighting over the charred remains
for pieces as souvenirs. It would see colored
mothers and babies hung to limbs of trees
because they aided brother to escape from
like torture and death. 1t would see young
colored women in their teens made the vic
Tins Of the animal passions of white fends
incarnate and their fathers, brothers and
often young husbands driven out of the
country because they demurred. In it's mad
ness to protect the rabbits and cayotes the
California branch of the humane society has
fully demonstrated that, it has to strain at
swallowing a gnat, but swallows a camel
with perfect ease.
If the churches the humane societies and

THE OLD, OLD STORY

'I have just gotten in from a nine months
sea VOYAGE" said j. A. Hassell, one of Seat
ties we'll known colored citizens, "and the
old berg show looks good to me. Prior to
leaving the city, was all run n-down physical
ly and my physician recommended such
health. got an opportunity to sign up with
a seafairing craft bound for Melbourne, Aus
tralia, and [ jumped at the chance.
"Many years ago was in Australia, and
after seeing much of the country, I conclud-
ed it was haven of rest as we'll as refuge
for the colored man. There he seemed to
be doing well and stood on an equal footing
with the white man. He was prosperous in
business and on the whole, it looked to me

GRAFT1NG A GOVERNMENT FEATURE

The man who said ''the Americans are
money-mad' made no grave mistake, and so
mad for money are they that they will de-
wise all kinds of near-robbery schemes in or
der to get the much coveted ''almighty dol
lar" National, state, county and city gov
ernments are manipulated by grafters and
thieves in sleeps clothes by such scoundrels,
Cayton's weekly. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1916-1921, 1918-03-30

at that time that there the black and white
folks would fully and completely recognize
the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood
of man, but, to my surprise years thereafter,
a hue-n-cry came up from Australia to the
effect that, the white citizens wanted white
Australia and to that end drastic laws eX-
cluding all darker races, including the Amer
lean colored man, from entering it's ports
only under bond had been enacted. | was
curious to know how such a change could
have come over the white citizens, hence my
anxiety to revisit the country and see II l
could figure out to my own satisfaction the
reason why.
"Our vessel was in the Melbourne port for
a considerable time and I made many visits
to the city, and even to some of the rural
DISTRICTS and I not only inquired about, but
observed the status of racial conditions
there and think learned much.
"The average white citizen Of Australia,
in my opinion, is just as kindly disposed to-
ward the darker races today as when first
visited the country, but it was that class of
white citizens that belonged to organized
labor that were responsible for those drastic
exclusion laws, which were passed when it's
representatives controlled the various legis-
lative bodies of that country Organized
labor there, as here, is putting up just as
hard fight to suppress the colored man in
the labor marts as it is to control capital in
the industrial marts. But, am glad to say,
organized labor in Australia seems to have
run it's race and is rapidly on the wane.
''Speaking about the classes in Australia
reminds me that in a general population of
fraction over five million inhabitants there
are nearly 100000 aborigonees, about 15O,-
600 colored folks from the neighboring is
lands, and about 100000 Japanese and Chin
ese, about 1000 American colored folks, and
the balance white folks. 1t will thus be seen
that it's matter of utter impossibility to
make 'white' Australia of that country.
''Australia is rich in natural resources and
some day it will be one of the world s chief
storehouses. At present there are millions
OF bushels of wheat in the sheds and gran
cries OF that country, despite the fact there is
wheat and flour shortage in this country,
as we'll as in Europe. But it is impossible to
get boats to bring it away. Eggs retail for
IA cents a dozen and cheese for 10 cents
per pound, and all other products are of a
like value, but as said above, it cannot be
gotten out of the country
''And now, another thought about the
labor conditions. I am convinced that or
ganized labor has outlived it's usefulness, if
it ever had any there, and the government
at present is in the hands of the common
sense white citizens, and Australia will over
throw it's color exclusion laws The country
has been 12O years getting a five million pop
ulation on account Of it's organized labor
handicap, and the leading white citizens will
tolerate such a state Of affairs no longer''
