A Southern BLACKBOARD.

An old saw runs, "One-half of the world
does not know what the other half is do
ing, and with that in mind we reproduce
the excerpt above that the readers hereof
may see and read for themselves just how
vulgar, uncouth and illiterate are many of
the editorial writer's Of the South, for this
is fair sample Of the editorial teachings
Of the publishers Of the South. Such edit
orial billingsgate in any other section Of
this country save the South, though the
subject matter be true would be considered
below the dignity Of a gentleman to pub
fish. We note that the editorial roughneck
refers to Oglethorpe as being the paternal
ancestor of the Georg ia outlaws, which
doubtless must have caused that venerable
old gentleman to turn over in his tomb and
exclaim, land what great sin did | COM
nit that l must stand sponsor for the
Georgia murders and border outlaws" The
fact of the matter is there is a grevious
color problem in the United States that
must be settled. If the Incorporate hot
heads on both sides persist in the sword
the lynch limb and the frebrands it will
be bloody settlement, but if the Christian
citizens of this country including all colors
will but reason together the whole will be
peacefully settled Calling ugly names and
writing damphool editorials like unto the
above will get us nowhere and if continued,
fifty years from today, just as it was fifty
years ago, the subject will still be a seeth-
ing boil, which will periodically emit venom
as vile as vitrol White preachers in the
South occasionally use similar vulgar lang
uage as has the above editorial BLACKBOARD,
but thank God such preachers are passing
as must such editors. Fair play is divine
law and the country will continue in a
state of turmoil until all men under the
Stars and Stripes are given an even break
in life, liberty and the pursuits Of happiness

Our Northern Meddlers.

With the imprudence Of an organization
with no other purpose in the world than to
cause unrest among the Negroes of the
South, the National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People has deemed
Of the United States a request that rigid
probe be made of the lynching of Ely
Cooper, black, by silent riders of the
night" on early Thursday morning in
Dodge county.
Backed by a statement, which is black
lie in itself, that the lives of "citizens of
the United States'' are not being protected,
the trouble-making association also brings
the Shillady ease Of Texas to the president's
attention with a hope that something will
be done to the men who sent white-nigger
scampering back to the North with his
Shiny, moss-covered teachings
The Courier Herald resents the insult
east upon the officials Of Georgia by this
nigger-lover's association which had the
insOlence to say to white president of the
United States that this state, with others
of the South, was not protecting the lives
of its citizens both white and black
Since the day Oglethorpe set foot on soil
afterwards christened Georgia. this good
state has had laws and officials fully COM
petent to deal with any situation arising
within it's borders without the air of
niger racial equality society It is high
time that the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, in it's in
fancy, (and liable to die in this state) should
learn that Georgia is the land Of white men,

Taxation Without Representation.

Within the United States there are about
thirteen million colored citizens, the great
majority Of whom do manual labor for
their livings and yet President Wilson has
seen fit to call a conference between capital
and labor, representatives from both sides
he himself has named, but he did not deem
the colored citizens Of sufficient Importance
with the body polite Of this country to
name one of them on that conference board
Capital has always been more or less an
tagonistic to labor and though it has fire.
quently favored colored labor over white
labor yet it did so because it could use
colored labor to the detriment of white la
Dor. Capital is selfish and it endeavors to
take advantage of al lclasses of labor hence
it can not consistently represent colored
labor at the conference. Organized white
labor has always been a unit against col
ored labor, hence it can not be expected to
advocate any measure at the conference
that will be for the betterment of colored
labor. 1t will thus be seen that at that la
boring conference the colored labor will
be taxed without representation. But in
this President Wilson is maintaining his
lifelong opposition to the uplift of the col
ored man and he never loses an opportunity
to throw impediments in his pathway.

Mississippi Murderers Object.

Judging from the reports in the Associ-
ated Press one John Sharp Williams,
Mississippi senatorial roughneck, caught a
tarter few days ago, when he hooked Hi.
johnson from California. It took Johnson
just five minutes to set the galleries bowling
against the administration peace pact and
to kissing John Sharp Williams as though he
was a border outlaw. The Mississippian was
informed by the Californian that he was
going to the Pacific Coast to appeal to
Americans-men and women who think and
act on their initiative and not at the be-
hest Of one big chief, who was seeking to
give America over to England and France.
Hi johnson might have gone step further
and said to the Mississippi roughneck, 81
am going to build up my political fences
with argument and reason and not with the
lynchers limb and the shot gun. California
is Republican or Democratic as it's voters
see fit after the issues have been clearly put
before them, but Mississippi on the other
hand is Democratic under all conditions be-
cause it is ruled by murderers, either before
or after the fact.'

The Irish Race.

Whose voices are raised for the rights of
mankind?
Who fan would enlighten the bigoted
blind?
Who strive base autocracy's rule to efface?
The Irish, God bless them! success to their
race!
Who battle the forces Of tyrants unjust?
Whose love for America none should dis
trust
Who never the flag Of our land will dis
grace?
The Irish, God bless them success to their
race!
When despots to princes would force them
to kneel,
And fain would false motives discreetly
conceal,
Who tears off the mask from hypocrisy's
face?
The Irish, God bless them success to their
race!
Who fought for our liberty long, long ago?
Who always will battle Democracy foe?
Who yet independent shall hold a proud
place?
The Irish, God bless them success to their
race!
All races united forever shall be
Americans all in our land Of the free,
But none clearer title to freedom may trace,
Than sons of old Erin, success to their race.

immagined and we were puzzled as to
which one of the many to name. Seattle's
colored families are all prosperous and the
family that does not own it's home and the
same well furnished with all the modern
conveniepces is the exception and not the
rule. Off handed the following families
are named as quite prosperous, yes so pros
porous that their respective realty holdings
range all the way from $4,000 to 100000

families in and about Seattle each owning on
an average a $4,000 home. There are no col
ored mllionaires here, but the colored folks
are stepping right along.

Listen, Senator Jones.

AS we suspected after having listened to
Senator Jones speak while in Seattle a few
weeks ago. he is lining up with the Demo
Gratis on Wilson's peace pact. We do not

trary to his party but we do say that I'M

BOARD OF TRADE.
Reorgauized and Terminated, 1t is
Pulling Together for Ellsworth.

At the meeting called last Wednesday
evening to consider further an industrial
proposition su omitted to the business men
Of Ellsworth, the matter of reorganization
OF the board OF trade was taken up, and
put through. The get-together spirit
was manifest, and if it can be maintained,
much may be accomplished for Ellsworth.
After brief discussion, in which there
was but one side, it was voted to re-
organize, and a committee on nominations
was appointed. This committee retired,
and reported the following list OF
nominees, who were unanimously elected ::
c. H. Leland, president; Harry C..
Stratton, secretary; M. Y. McGown,
treasurer; George S. Foster, G. L. Morang
and Merrill X. Head, presidents;
M. l.. Adams, o. w. Tapley, Harry E.
Rowe, Harry Z. Austin and J. A. Haynes,
executive committee.
The gentleman from Massachusetts ex-
pected at the meeting to explain IN further
detail his proposition for knitting in
dustry for Ellsworth, was not present,
having been misinformed as to train con-
DeStiohos hhothCI ulCCtihS vas SdiiCd
for Thursday -vening, when he was
present.
During the day Thursday he had looked
over the situation here, and laid the plan
before the committee appointed to meet
him. He also looked over buildings
available for the mill, and found the
former soap factory building, near the
railroad, best suited to his need and more
economical to operate.
His proposition, and the agree ment on
the part OF the business men OF Ells~ orth,
were embodied in written form by the
committee, and unanimously adopted by
the meeting. Briefly, Ellsworth agrees
to furnish him building, equipped with
the necessary machinery, rent free for
two years, with an option to purchase
building and equipment, while he agrees
to raise elsewhere the necessary working
capital. He felt confident in fulfilling
his part of the contract, and Ellsworth
merely awaits word from him to do her
part, which will necesstate the raising
of about 5000. Arrangements have
already been made to secure the soap
factory building.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
PEPTIR0N IS coed
advertisements,
This Real Iron Tonic Combines Merit
Economy and "Pep."

Made from formula that uses iron
in most digestible form, pepsin and
gentian, great stomach tonics, nux and
celery, the best vegetable remedies for
the nerves, and also manganese and
other valuable nutrients-there's no
question of the value of Peptiron as
a blood builder and strengthener.
The larger size of Peptiron contains
enough for full months treatment,
while other so-called iron prepara-
tions contain only one-half or less.
The pep" or promptness with
which Peptiron does it's work is noted
by everyone who takes it.
From the first dose the system re-
spends to the treatment, and you
realize you are at last using meoi,
cine that begins right, continues and
ends right. Better get bottle OF
Peptiron today. Take two Peptiron
after each meal-then comes good
blood, good appetite, and-pep.
