Gov. Allen Tells at Peoples Pavilion
How French Felt.
In his talk at the Peoples Pavilion
Thursday night Gov. Henry ]. Allen
compared the feelings of the French
people and the American people on
the fateful November IL, when the
doom of Germany was sealed.
The governor told how all thru the
war the French people had fought
the war against what seemed almost
overwhelming odds and in the face of
losses which would have appalled,
most nations. He told of how the
news of the armistice was received
almost alphabetically by the French
and how it was nearly two days before
the general run of the people could
rea1ize that the slaughter had ceased.
Allen then told the story of the
Frenchman who climbed the statue
on which was laid the mourning
wreath for the lost provinces and re-
placed this with a crown of victory.
In closing Allen said that If every
American trooper who went overseas
had been killed yet would the Ameri
can percentage of loss been less than
that of the French. With a population
half that of the United States, Gov
ernor Allen declared that the French
loss was approximately 100000 men.

PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON'S
CONDITION..

II has been said that "Man propos
cs and God disposeS." However
that may be it does seem in the
nature of calamity that just as he
was in tho midst of Il most important
part of the settlement of the disputes
incident TO the conclusion of the
World War that President Woodrow
Wilson should be stricken down.
His malady is peculiarly cmbar-
RAISING both to his friends and his
enemies and to that great body of
American people, who have not as
yet taken sides in the great contro-
VerSy now raging relative to the APP
prevail Of the pact agreed upon in the
Peace Conference relative to the
League Of Nations.
The medical men attending Presi
dent Wilson allege that he is suffer
ing from nervous breakdown,
whatever that may mean and that
his mental faculties have not been
affected Just how the nerves. which
generate in the brain can be diseased
without affecting the parent body, is
one for peculiar consideration.
BE that as it may, the Chief En-
ecutivc Of the Nation is not permitted
to see any one and he is not per
mitted to transact any business. Just
how long this condition can obtain
is Il mystery. The medical fraternity
do not furnish any information while
the gossipcrs arc furnishing all Of
the information desired.
1t is to be regretted that this dis
tinguishcd statesman is disabled for
an indefinite time. 1t is surprising
that he has been able to keep up
as long as he has succeeded in doing.
Vice President Marshall is not saying
anything, but he is evidently anxious
and willing TO discharge the duties
Of President. There can hardly be
any love lost between himself and
the President OF the United States
in view OF the manner in which lie
has been ignored and treated during
tho last four years.

THE "rEMPESr IN y TEAPOT"

We read With some interest and
organization of colorcd people in
Southern Phillips County, Arkansas
for the purpose of Strengthening white
people and the alleged statement that
these colored people were melted to
do this by white men. An alleged
confession by certain colored people
named October 6, 1919 as tho date
of the uprising.
We are free to admit that we did
not believe a word OF it rs we know
the coIored folks. They might plan
an uprising in Egypt, or in India,
or in Africa, but not in any State
in the Southland, where such an
uprising is known to bring sure death
to, the "upriscrs.
The following statement has been
sent out by the National Association
for the Advancement Of Colored
People:
"Thc whole trouble, as [ under

Bratton, Il white lawyer from Little
Rock, Arkansas, was employed by
sixty or seventy colored families to
go to Elaine and represent them in
Il dispute with the white planters
relative to the sale price of cotton.
The rumor is that the planters had
organized to settle with the tenants
for their cotton on a twenty-five
cent basis, when in turn the planters
would sell it for much moro. Quite
naturally the tenants objected to this
and employed Mr.. Bratton to repro

"This Federated Union of America
is camounagc. The real issue was
the dispute over the price Of cotton
between the tenants and planters.
. The propaganda published I'm the
press about Negroes being armed to
kill all white people and take their
farms away from them is too ride
ulous to be given any thought"
| The clipping referred to is from
the Memphis, Tenn, Commercial APP
peal of Friday morning, October 3.
According to U. S. Bratton, fatherj OF
the attorney accused of "inciting"
the Negroes, therein quoted, his
clients claimed that it had been i'm
