Many persons who read this will
see in 1t the undoing of the preju-
dices which today constitute the
greatest issue before the American
people. But If they should go to
South Carolina, or any where else in
the Old South, they would find that
999 white men out OF every 1000,
would do the same thing this white
woman did, and about one white
soldier in thousand would do the
same thing this white soldier did.
He will find in addition, that more
energy is being wasted today in the
United States to institute and main
tain schemes of racial separation
than ever before in the history of
the country. There are separate
cars, sparate streets cars, separate
drinking stations, separate urinals,
separate churches, separate schools,
separate seats in courthouses, separ-
ate goods in stores, governmental
separation and in fact separation and
racial jim-crow, have come to be the
order of the day, with the result that
more hell rankles in the breasts of
white men against blackmen, black
men against white men. than was
ever seen before in America. Pa
cifists and trimmers and hypocrites
and apologists, and diplomats and de-
ceivers, by the use of pretty phrases
and soft words; say otherwise, but
he who doubts my words can try
and find out If they be true. There
is remedy, but it is not to be
found among white men.

p. G. MORRIS.
We respectfully submit the above
TO WhoSoever cares to read it.
Speaking for myself (Mr. w. e.
King) / was appointed to this work
my knowledge or consent. The first
imitation had that l was to be one
OF the men to renew and continue
this agitation, was while in Ten
nessee a fortnight ago, when a Bap-
fist brother showed me the National
Baptist Voice. ] thought that when
Dr. Morris and the men who advised
him, took the matter between them
and DR.. Boyd into the courts. of
the country, that they made a decla-
ration, that they would abide the
decision of the courts. The fact that
the case is still pending in the courts,
is good and sufficient reason why
the men who placed 1t there should
not interfere, nor seek to remove it
from that tribunal, while the tribu-
nal is in the act of reaching
decision. Again, the men who went
10 court have given away their right
to organize propaganda for or
against the matters in litigation, be-
cause the propaganda will have the
effect Of prejudicing the decision.
These are the main reasons as to
why agitation at this time would be
unwise and unjust. AS for my part,
leaving all of the reasons above
stated out of the consideration, l
decline to engage in the enterprise
as outlined by the National Baptist
Voice, and likewise decline to serve
ON the commission bearing the sig
nature Of SO illustrious a Baptist
as the Rev. DR.. Morris. I believe
that the brethren of the Morris fac
ton did the correct thing in taking
the question at issue into the courts
Of the coutry. / believe the only
thing to do now is to possess their
souls that decision. And by the way,
want it distinctly understood that
| am a Baptist in good and regular
standing; and above all a Christian,
baptized in running water, one who
never compromises the faith; but 1
refuse to use my tongue or pen to
settle matter which every sane
man knows cannot be settled except
In court of law. There is no ques-
ton of polity or doctrine in dis
pute between the two contendlng
Baptist factions. When the doctrines
are evolved / will be found among
the bunch who believes in "One
Lord, One Faith, One Baptism" AS
long as property rights constitute the
bone Of contention, / shall stand for
and arbitration in the
ranks, this failing, am among
hose who would place our race be-
fore the courts of the country. Nuf
sed.

SOLDIER CLAIMS MARRIAGE
 TO OlvoRcEE IS ILLEGAL

GLOBE. June 30.-S!nce the pass age Of the Arizona act prohibiting re- marriage within a year after divorce. an act that closely follows the Cali fornia statute. there has been a ra- ther general evasion of the spirit of the law by remarriages in Fl Paso. Los Angeles and other easily reached points in nearby states.
 This evasion. as well as the legality of the act, is to be considered in suit filed in the local superior court by Ronald L. Osborn, who asks annul- ment of his marriage with Clara Louise Brown, a marriage consum- mated only five days after her divorce from Charles H Brown Twenty days after the wedding Osborn went into the army. from which he was dis charged lately.
