A dollar to dOughnut Senator HardWick
will haxe that colored maid that got blown
almost to pieces while opening an Internal
machine, which was sent to him, sent to the
poor house for future maintenance.
Doubtless "a little learning is bad
thing" but not one hundredth part as bad
as no learning. Every one with an ounce
of get up and get there can get good
learning these times and it's actually Grim
inal to not do So
Returned soldiers want work, but let it be
distinctly understood that they do not mean
to take any kind Of work except to their
liking, and evidently farm work is not at
all to their liking but high salared clerical
jobs are what all Of them demand.
Perhaps Razz got contorted into jazz
but whether Razz or Jazz in it's originality
certain it is that the music Of a colored man
is setting the civilized world on fire and
literally consuming it. Evidently the col
Ored man does more than initiate.
In our last issue we warned President
Wilson if he did not get out Of Europe post
haste he would get cut in the fracas and
now it seems that he is benig whip-sawed
by England and France and jammed by
Italy. Fools will rush in where angels fear
to tread.
Even in beer .u;-,ing states from now,
who sings How Dry l am, will not be able
to get enough of the stuff that soothes to
slake his or her thirst as the further manu-

to be just full Of the stuff
Which is the Pleading weakly paper Of
the Northwest among the colored citizens
still seems to be the mooted question: For
months we have been lead to believe it was
published in Seattle, but now it is learned
from distinguished citizen of Tacoma that
it is published in Portland. Who next?
Fixing set program for the coored man
of this country is one and the same thing
as making Of him legalized serf-a mild
form of slavery which would mean that the
work of John Brown, William Lloyd Gar
rison, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Abraham Lin
coin (bless his memory and many others
all count for naught. Perish the thought.
1t was some thirty years ago when hun
dreds of prominent men Of the country were
sent Internal machines, which resulted in
some loss of life and much material damage
and like terror is now running rampant
over the country. The mails are literally
flooded with dangerous devices sent to lead

public duties.
1t has been limited that our own and only
President Wilson has feeling in his heart
to recognize the Russian Bolsheviki. Why
not? since he has recognized the South of
our own land and country, and it is beyond
