HAS THE WHITE MAN AN OBJECT
IN MIND FOR HIS INHUMAN
TREATMENT OF THE
NEGRO?

Wonder what the Southern white
man, and as to that the white man In
general, thinks about the Negro. 1t
would be interesting to know his
real mind as that mind thinks about
the Negro and his possibilities and
his final actions in this country 1T
would be really interesting to know
what thought of his about the Negro
that causes him to lynch and burn
him upon the least provocation and
sometime heap upon him the most
outrageous ravishing treatment for
crimes and conduct that would be
hardly considered if committed by a
member of another race. 1t would
be interesting to know why he flies
to pieces and gathers up a hundrer
neighbors and sometimes five hun
bred and a thousand of his fell
lows, and takes Negro from
the law officers and burn him to
death, gouge out his eyes with red
hot irons, cut out his tongue and
otherwise mutilate his body. 1t could
not be his destestation of crime, for
in lynching and burning he is COM
hitting crime at which cannibals
would shrink and hide their face.
It could not be because he thought
that the matter could not be sifted
in the courts for he has all the
judges, all the jurors and all the
law. There is a deep, very deer
thought in his mind, when he gathers
his men and women and boys anC
girls upon the public thoroughfareE
and there chain a human being to al
immovable object and there subject
him to the most excruciating torture
that the human mind can invent ant
then send home by his children
parched toes and fingers to be KEEP
as souvenirs and to be regarded b!
them as precious heirloom. Tht

lieves that there is one great con

Jacksonville, Ark, Jan. 10, 1918.
Brother superintendent and mem
bers Of the Mt. Ararat Baptist Church

The day and hour has come when l

1t is a supreme pleasure to do this,

the privileges of this day, standing
on Gods balcony today, looking about
us, yonder we see millions in all
parts of the world witnessing for
Jesus. Some are preaching to the
multitudes with passion like those
brethren of the holy past, others have
left home and friends and are preach
ing Jesus and the resurrection of the
dead to the heather nations. There

pleasure to serve the great God of the
universe, of having the honor of
passing from one year into another.
Therefore dear school, l humbly
thank you for the great honor that
you all have bestowed upon me as
your teacher, though yet feel my
insufciency in making my class just
what feel it ought to be, though /

blessed word out of pure heart,
and try to instill it in my Gloss minds
to come to the Sunday school on time
that we might reap the benefit Of
these important lessons. This sub
nit for your consideration.

the express companies under a new

and work out a basis for stribution
of profits is under consider ration be-
tween the railroad administration and
representatives of the companies.
Some announcement is expected within
a week.
The plan for unified express bust
ness is the outgrowth of earlier sug
gestions from the express companies
that their concerns be taken over and
operated during the war as the rail
roads have been. with the guarantee Of
average earnings for the three years
ending last June This would have
meant a government payment of more
than S4.0O0,000 year and opposition
developed on the ground that this
probably would result in loss to the
government.
The capitalization Of the new com
pany also is the subject of consider
able difference of opinion. The four
leading mpanies-A dams, American
Wells-Fargo and Southern claim g
physical valuation of their transporta
ton property of approximately $50
G00000. In addition. several million
dollars cash for operating would be re
