WATCH THE SUN.

On ono occasion when Christ was
passing the people made a great dem
onstration, certain OF His enemies
told Him to rebuke them, but He
told them that If they should hold
their peace that the rocks would cry
ont. This shows clearly that God Is
not dependent upon man alone to do
His bidding, but can make nature
itself talk to the people. On one
occasion He caused an animal to
speak. When there was no one else
to speak against Gains wickedness
in Staying his brother, why God suf-
fered Abel'si blood to cry out from
the ground against injustice.
Today rs tho voice Of mankind Is
weak In speaking against the infamy
that has been heaped upon the Black
or Ethiopian people, God Is not going
to let His sun shine in all of its
strength this Summer as a protest
against this wlckedness.
Now, If the Editor OF tho Times
Republican is any way skeptical l
would advise him to watch the sun
from now until the first OF October.
And as far rs lynching is concerned,
1t is going to be stopped, because the
Most High God has said SO.
I trust that the editor is strong
enough to believe that God Is both
able and competent to execute rapidly
and rigidly the things that He has
in mind to do; for God is determined
to make the editor and all that are
like-minded to know that Gle rules
in the affairs of men, therefore,
He is not in any humor to take mans
foolishncss any longer.

THE POWER OF THE LITTLE
WHITE GOD.

Why does not The editor take IL
little time and tell his readers that
right at this time alien enemies have
privileges that black people have not.
Let an alien enemy woman and n
black woman buy n railroad ticket
from New York to New Orleans. in
Guiding sleeping and dining accom-
modations which one will go through
o. *. and which one will be held up
at the Mason and Dixon line? The
little editor that IS trying to gain so
much notoricty reminds mo Of the
fellow who, while keeping the wolf
away from the door, let bear get
in through the window.
But on the other hand. If the black
woman should take n little white god
along in her arms, not only would
she go through with the best of rail
facilities, but the very best hotels
would be open to her and not only
SO, this little white god would he her
passport to any place in this life and
in the life to come, except Heaven.
Therefore the editor from tho Hawk
eye State ought to see that this is
idolatry and as the Most High is IA
jealous God, He will destroy idols
and idol worshippers.

NEWS SOFT-PEDALED."

Tho editor speaks Of the News
being sutt~pcdaled for %eSsa VS."
We'll, he should have known that
that IL not tho first time that that
kind OF news has been 'soft-pedaled.'
Black girls, who have been working
out among white families. trying to
make All honest living on their return
homeward In the evenings, they have
been run through the wide open
streets OF the town. by flendish white
men, sometimes to fall exhausted at
their mothers door. All this ncws
was "soft-pedaled."
Not long ago when white man
rode up to the door Of black mans
house and offered him, as it was al
terwards stated, 5000 for the virtue
OF his daughter, this news was also
"soft-pedaled." In fact every time
n black woman Is insulted by a white
man the news Is "soft-pedalcd."
Now, it seems that II tho editor
prayed and tasted as he was COM
manded On tho 30th Of May. he
scarcely got through with that job
before he rushed to the desk to get
his pen that he might condemn. ten
or twelve million people for crimo
that was supposed to have been COM
mitted by five men. No doubt he
stands around and thinks that God
has answered his prayer. II the fate
of the country hung upon such fell
lows as he, why its doom Is already

PROCEEDINGS ARE MARKED BY
DIGNITY AND UNITY.

The conference formally opened
Wednesday morning. June 10, in tho
main auditorium OF the new building
Of the Department of the Interior,
18th and T. streets, Northwest, at
1890 o'clock and continued through
out Thursday and Friday, June 90
and 81.
Mr.. Scott presided at all of the
sessions which were marked by an
earnestncss OF purpose, a broad grasp
Of the questions at issue, and an UNI
wavering loyalty to the flag Of the
nation, as we'll as by an intense de-
votion to the highest interests of the
colored Americans for whom they
came primarily to speak.
The discussion covered wide
range, and the conferees were given
an opportunity to present their views,
rejecting the state Of mind Of tho
colored people of the country, with
tho utmost freedom and frankness,
unhampercd by parliamentary restric
tons or any effort to direct opinion
in any particular channel-save that
OF utilizing in the most effective man
ncr every resource at the command
OF the race to bring victory to the
American arms in its present strug-
gle for liberty and worldwide
democracy. Mr. Scott's admirably
tempered addresses at various stages
OF the deliberations repeatedly adj
monished the conferces to voice their
sentiments fully and fearlessly, lay
ing all grievances and suggestions for
their redress upon the common altar,
with the view OF strengthening where
needed the patriotism and morale Of
the Negro people.
So fair and impartial were the
rulings OF the chair upon every point
raised or principle enunciated, that
at no time was a single exception
taken to them. Every conceivable
shade OF individual opinion was re-
presented in the body, but there was
from the outset firm disposition to
subordinate private and personal con-
sidcrations to the general good, with
ut regard to politics, creed, faction
or section. This lofty aim was adj
hcred to most religiously.
Dignity OF statement. harmony of
thought and unity OF action were the
predominating features OF the three
days session. The document, re-
ported by the special committee ap-
pointed to summarize the expression
of tho conference az to tho best plans
for tho mobilization Of tho resources

Editor Of The Planet:

Editor Of The Planet:
Dear Sir,--Will you kindly permit
me to speak through your paper in
regards to what the Marshalltown
Times Republican had to say about
the five black men and the crime that
they committed out there In Iowa?
1t is not strange that this editor
should set himself up as Il Judge and
jury too, but when ho confines his
tribunal merely to the black rapist,
then Inc becomes odious.
Since rape is II heinous crime. why
is it that he cannot condemn all rap
lists, white or black? Whenever a
black, or Ethiopian woman is insulted
by Il Caucasian, or white man. he
seems to take cold fect--hc has
nothing to say; but as soon as he
hears OF some Caucasian, or white
woman being insultcd by black man
then his ankles get hot Immediately.
He does not know that for every
white woman that is insulted by Il
black man, there are twenty black
women insulted by white men. II
every white man was lynchcd for in
sulting black women, in some dis
tricts there would not be enough
limbs on the trees with which to ac-
COmmodatc the lynchcrs.
