The Public Mind

Editor The Times Recorde-: Please
above me space in your worthy coll
umns to call public attention 10 a con.
dtion which, in my judgment, should
be given serious consideration.
No one familiar with the facts, will
question for moment the genuine
loyalty of the American negro to his
country. His conduct during his en-
tire stay here has proven his patriot
ism. From the beginning to the end
OF the great world war, he has resist
ed every attempt to ALLEVIATE him from
his country, has joined with unfeigned
enthusiasm every movement to con-
serve the necessities of war at home,
and, at the front, has gone over the
top and across No Mans Land with
the unfaltering courage of a hero.
And now that the was is over, no
one will more readily than he return
to the normal conditions of civilians
life.
But in spite of the fact that the
war is ended, all of the tr, ubles of
the world are not over That dreaded
influence called Bolshevism is threat
ening the safety of the entire world.
And in my judgment, the wise lovers
of American institutions should begin
now to plan how they will destroy this
baleful influence now smouIdering in
some of our larger cities, when it shall
break with all it's frightful fury upon
the legalized Institutions OF our be-
loved country.
AS l understand it, Bolshevism
fiourishes most where there are igno-
rance, poverty, hatred and oppression
Ignorance of the principles of legal
lied government, poverty and hatred,
caused by this ignorance, and Cypress
ion coming from the constituted au-
thorites. By unduly magnifying So
cial conditions, the Bolshevists run
men mad, incite them to crime and
anarchy and urge other mischief to
take whatever course it wills.
AS see it, it is up to the patriotic
lover of American Institutions to de-
stroy as far as possible every condi-
ton in America in which Bolshevism
might flourish
1t is said that there are thirty
thousand Bolshevists on the west side
in Chicago, and that there are more
than that number on the east side in
New York.
There are about twelve million ne
groes in the United States, with an
overwhelming majority in the South.
Suppose the advocates of Bolshevism

should decide to begin their work OF
mischief among these millions of
negroes, as did the Germans in the
world war? When the Germans be-
gan, more than two thousand negro
leaders, armed with the strong argu-
ment of democracy in favor of autoc-
racy destroyed in sixty days the force

If the Bolshevists should come
among the negroes and point out
glaringly unjust distribution OF the
public funds for observation-disclosures
that one child receives from the state
more than ten times as much for his
education as another, while both child

state; if they should show now in a
so-called democracy, laws are made
| and schemes are devised whereby the
fundamental law of that democracy is
evaded and one class is permitted to
elect ali the rulers while another is
denied the right to participate in said
election; If they should hold I'D to
popular gaze the fact that while one
class is given decent accommodations
in travel, the other is forced to ride,

law and order profess themselves pow
erless to protect the victims; if they
should make these and other charges
that might be mentioned against the
constituted authorities, how could the
most law-abiding and patriotic negroes
deny much of their allegation? If
these patriotic negroes who, standing
by the constituted authorities, are will
ing still to endure, hoping that some
day, some how, all will come right,
should attempt an excuse for these
condition, what excuse should they
offer?
To negro who loves his country
and who wishes it the best of all that
is possible to come to a country, this
is a serious matter. Nor is all of this
mere speculation. 1t is a condition
which we may awake some morning to
find existing at our doors.

STAYS HERSELF
AT new GRAVE
SLAIN FIREMAN

ATLANTA, Feb. 3.-Mrs. Louise Gil.
bert, aged u years, herself a "dara-
devil" automobile driver, and one Of
the best known women characters in
che Atlanta speed track world. was
found dead Sunday morning living
across Daredevil" Johnny Abbott,s
grave in Greenwood cemetery
Her body fell across the grave and
ey some peculiar chance of fate her
mead rested on floral pillow. the
tribute laid there by the hands of Mary
Powers, the young woman whose teIe-
phone call caused Mrs. Abbott TO
kill her husband.
The dead girl was a we'll known fig
ure about Atlanta, particularly among
motorists, because of her skiIlfuI ham
ding of rakinsh, high-powered auto
mobile, in which she was constantly
seen op the streets and not infreuuent-
ly on the track. She was the wife of
Hap Gilbert. we'll known auto and
motorcycle racer and his partner in
the operation of an auto garage on
Ivy street. They lived at SO West
Peachtree.
At the inquest Gilbert testified he
was entirely ignorant of the fact his
wife even knew Abbott, though mem
bers of the fire department and par
ticularly of the headquarters depart
ment, where Abbott has been engaged
as driver for Chief Cody, said Abbott
and Mrs. Gilbert were very frequently
together. Gilbert in his testimony re-
called Abbott driving up to his garage
on one recent occasion to have the
chiefs car repaired, and said his wife
appeared at that time, not even to
know Abbott. On the occasion of the
Abbott killing, when he and his wife
were reading the newspaper stories
the following day, Mrs. Gilbert appear
ed then from her conversation not to
know anything about Abbott.
Sunday morning about 10 o'clock one
OF the ground men noticed the form
of woman lying diagonally across
Abbott's grave and on investigation
found she was dead, by her side being
the revolver with which she had shot
herself. When her body was taken
up it was noticed that she had taken
her wedding ring from the finger on
which it was worn and thrown it away,
though the other rings she was accus-
toned to wearing were on other fin
gers of her hands.
The action of Recorder Johnson of
this city in binding over Mary Powers,
the cafe waitress whose relations with
Abbott caused the latter's wife to kill
him, has created quite a sensation.
The recorder took the position that
her persistence in calling Abbott to-
the telephone at his residence was
directly responsible for the sudden
fame of wrath in which his wife shot
him,
Accordingly he bound over the
girl under bond of $500 as an acces-
sorry before the fact. She made bond
without much difficulty and is ne Y at
liberty.

most surprised by some things he

they were not working. In Japan the

he is working or not. The profession

that vicarious parenthood appealed to
all playgoers and it seems to be true,
for the thing we wanted most was to
