SAW IT IN THE TIMES? DAMN LIE

There are ways Of agitating and then
there ways Of agitating, but of all the
ways Of agitating that pursued by the editor
of the Seattle Daily Times takes the cake,
using the vulgar vernacular Of the street
1t has not been so very many years
ago when the Times had a new Japanese
man of war clandestinely poking it's nose
into every port along the Pacific Coast
every evening, but the readers of the vulgar
publication paid no attention to what it
said, for they had long since 1eamed-Saw
it in The Times? Damn e It did that to
gain prestige with the ant-Japanese agita-
tors. But presto, change Almost in a
night the Times lost all Of it's vitrolc
blllingsgate against the Japanese and it
went to the other extreme. Whether
Japanese gold was responsible for that
sudden change Of heart was the secret Of the
editor thereof, but the citizens had their
suspicious.
But the Times had to have an under dog
to pick at and being Japanese converted it
selected the colOred man as it's next national
menace, and it has surely held his feet to
the fire. That you dear reader. may get
some idea Of the cussedness Of the editor
Of the Times far as the colored man is
concerned, read the following editorial from
its last Mondays issue, under the caption
Of ''New Issue in America':
"With Ambassador 1shii urging Japan
to continue demanding racial equality
with Negroes in New York proposing to
use all methods, even force to stop the
white man from treading on our toes and
with serious race riots occurring at Wash
ington and Chicago, the indications are that
the United States may be brought face to
face with a problem which, under certain
circumstances NAV become extremely
annoying.

THE WORLD NEED FOR RELIGION

'The world need for religion keeps pace
WITH the growth in population.'' says the
Rel1e1ous Digest. Each added individual
life is an added need for religion, exact7,
as IN famll y each new life adds to the
demand for food-and for charitabeness.
How great, how real, how practical is
this need for religion, you can determine
Approximately y by multiplying your own
sense OF that need by SOOOOO.OOO.

ties of the South where such atrocities as
have been recently published are perpe-
trated on the colored folks. Desperation
knows no fear, nor stops at no retributiOn.
The colored man in the South is almost
desperate He Outnumbers the whites and
has less to lose in general conflict and
unless there is let up on him he will
become desperate and then, believe me, hell
will pop. SO long as he can be kept in
subjecton most anything can be done to
him, but like the beast, when driven to
corner he will turn on his pursuers with
madness that the blue imps of hell will have
no terrors that will deter him.
But as said above, there will be no war
of determination of the blacks in this
country because the Christian whites will
not stand for it. Unfortunately, however,
thus far they have hoped against hope that
they would not have to interfere, but the
situation is daily growing more acute, and
it is here suggested that they do not pro-
crastinate in this matter until they will
have to repeat the bloody days Of 1861 and
1865 inclusive. Two hundred thousand
black soldiers in France drank deep at the
fountain of worldwide democracy and as
fast as they return it's effects are impaired
to those who did not 90, and the refrain
has been taken up by black folks from the
Lakes TO the Gull and the Atlantic to the
Pacific. and they are going to insist on
something of a square deal. And as in
Chicago so will it be in other places They
will demand democracy or death, and in
this they are going to be backed by the
Godfearing white men who believe in what
they wrote in our immortal Constitution:
All men are born equal and with certain
nnalienable rights, among which are life,
liberty and the pursuits Of happiness'' An
allW1se Creator seems to have set apart this
country as a home for the free and the
brave and none others can long remain
herein.
This country is beginning to reap the
rewards OF seven years of theoretical
Woodrow Wilson and most damnable and
tyrannical southern Democratic demagogrv
INTO the everlasting haunts of innocuous
desretude, anarchy, no less pronounced
than that that now runs riot throughout
Russia will be her portion It was for the
perpetuation of this dangerous political
DOGMA that took our president to Europe
and there sold his country for mess of
prospective peace and is also bringing him
West to try to further spread the revolving
propaganda.

QUEER GID "MAG.C MIRROR
One in British Museum Known to Have
Been Used by Aztecs and
Ancient Mexicans.

Crystal gazing and the use of magic
mirrors played an important part in
religion and wiZardry in the past, and
though almost every nation had its
own method these did not vary as
much as it would he supposed.
Thus while Japan had in her inner
temples mirrors which only the priest
saw, and which were always to reflect
the good and the beautiful for the
gods, the ancient MeXicans taught
that their god TeXcatlipuco had a
magic mirror in which he saw every
thing that happened each day in the
world.
A real Obsidian mirror with its
strange textile string still attached is
in the British museum now and was
used by the Aztecs and ancient Mexi.
cans for various purposes and very
probably for crystal gazing. 1t is
much the same as the other crystals
used by so-called Wizards" so far as
its shape is concerned. Even in recent
years crystal gazing has been prac
ticed, and it is said by those who have
tried it that the mirror or crysta
seems to disappear into a mist after i
has been stared at in complete silenc,
fol a great length of time, and then
IL ever-the visions appear.

Wonderful Persian Shawl.

Mrs. Bernard E. Grace, collector
of st. Louis, submitted a rare Per
sian shawl at the New York MetrOpOl-
itan museum. The owner had traced
its history back 163 years. The shawl
is eleven feet by four feet, worked in
long flowing designs of the palm leaf
and the River of Life with the stories
of the mosques. The predominating
colors are mellowed garnets and
brown, with alternating sheens of steel
gray and rusty brown. A Washington
expert to whom the shawl was shown
said its makeup probably represented
the lifetime of the weaverS.

The only person in the Argus office
who didn't treat little Miss Mclean
with the utmost respect from the mo-
ment of her joining the staff was Ban,
mister. Bannister wasn't the typical
sporting editor of fiction and movies.
He didn't wear checked suits.
He didn't gabble increasingly in
baseball slang. He was tall and SOM
corning prize fighters, star pitchers
and race horses. He was sporting ed
itor because Of an uncanny gift Of
analysis that made him the best fore
caster in that field in the state.
The "old man" had discovered this
quality in Bannister and bribed him,
with an increase in pay. to quit gener-
al reporting and specialize in sports
BanniSter didn't like being a sporting
! editor. He wanted to be the papers
feature writer And Betty Mclean
had just been given that job.
Betty had come to the Argus from
an unimportant upstate paper. En-
ders, the old exchange reader, had dis
covered her stuff and showed it to the
loss Phillips was always after goot
material. He sleuthed Betty out ant
hired her.
When Billy Saunders. the city edi
tor, introduced Bannister to Miss Nc
Lean Bannister grunted. He didn
give the girl a second loof-which wa
