DOES 1T HURT TO BE DYNAMlTED7
Recent Experiences Indicate That This
Favorite Pastime Is Full of
napdar

DN'SN'H
For as much as ten years the Ne
groes of Kansas City have e~ndeavored
to persuade the local police authorities
that the favorite pastime enjoyed by
the "Rednecks" in blowing up the
homes of progressive Colored Folk is
not only fundamentally wrong, but
that the sport is really dangerous.
During this time at almost regular
intervals this sport has been INDUCED
in especially upon such aspiring black
citizens as dared to move from the hol
lows to the hilltOps for the purposes of
securing better living conditions and
more sanitary surroundings.
Homes have been wrecked, women
|terrorized and children MANNED for
life by these Hunnish atrocities which
have received only casual attention
from the press, the police and the So
called fair-minded citizens. Indeed,
one newspaper during the high carni-
val Of terrorism perpetrated upon the
Montgall section a few years ago act
ually encouraged the practice in a set
editorial and minated that this was
the only way by which Negro residents
could be taught to stay away from de.
cen home sections of the city. 1t was
a perfectly legitimate sport even in
the eyes of a rock-ribbed Republican
newspaper.
The dynamiting of homes has gone
on and has apparently become a fixed
institution among us. Whenever a
home is blown up the police call
around, looked puzzled, ask a great
many questions and stand upon the
corners for a day or so in full uniform
to see if the sportive miscreant will
come back and give himself up. Then
the chase is abandoned and all is
lovely except for the poor, distressed
home owner who must either move
back to the hollows or repair his shat
tered domicile and await the next in
ming.
But now a new opinion has been
awakened upon this form of social rec
reation and it has been brought about
through the deadly attacks which have
been made by the bomb throwers upon
the street cars filled with white people.
1t has been discovered that the sport
is really pernicious and it ought to be
curbed.
In fact, the adherence of the thing
has become so great that even the
federal government has been interced.
ed against it. The shoe hurts the 9th
.er foot. 1t makes all the difference in
the world. Horror takes the place of
the concealed smile and the insulted
majesty Of the law is loudly crying out
for yindication.
The Sun says: Let the awakened
conscience be commended even though
it has slept long overtime. Let this
heinous crime be ferreted out and
avenged now that it has been found to
be a crime
Street car dynamiting is simply the
advanced chapter OF the home dyna-
hitting which has been practiced with
impunity and by tacit approval for a
decade and if it was a sport in its in
cipiency it has finally been shown up
in its really dangerous phases as such.

There are many dancing numbers
seen, in which the performers are seen
in their element and a splendid chorus
is heard to advantage. There is a well

of ireland before it's adjournment next

the recent Irish race convention in
Philadelphia. After hearing the dele
CATION, the house rules committee
agreed to report a special rule giving
right of way for consideration of a
resolution instructing American peace
delegates to urge 1reland's cause be-
fore the Paris conference.
The delegation headed by Justices
John w. Golf and Daniel F. Cohalan,
of New Yolk, included more than
forty prominent Americans of Irish
descent.
Others urging the rules committee
for action included Representative
Flood, of Virginia, chairman of the
house foreign affairs committee, and
Frank r. Walsh, of Kansas City.

The senate remained in session all
Saturday night to pass the loan bill,
the keystone measure of the calendar,
adjourning shortly before o'clock
, Sunday morning.. Passage of the loan
bill without a. record vote and in the
identical form in which it came from
the house, definitely marked the
course of future legislation and gave
assurance that President Wilson would
not find it necessary to change his
plan of deferring a call of the new
congress until after his return from
France, probably in June.

Senate May Hold Up Session.
If protracted row lis started over
the constitutional problems in the sem
ate, the legislature might not conclude
its business at the end of next week.
1t is certain that consideration of the
constitutional measures in the senate
will tie up consideration of many local
and general bills-bills which MEM
bers are anxious to have enacted. II
the session ends in two weeks the de-
bate on constitutional measures must
be limited or local bills must die on the
calendars.
Scores of bulk roll calls are due in
both houses during the final days of
the session. Both house and senate
calendars are loaded with bills-more
than 900 of them-which must be dis
posed of in some manner. Several
hundred bills are now in the hands of
committees. More than one-half of all
appropriation measures are yet to be
considered. In addition to these mat
tiers, the legislature must take care OF
several big labor and insurance. bills.

There is but one thing in prospect
at this time. A large number of Kan
sas legislators are due to return &c
their constituents and explain how To-

COLLEGE HAS WORK
Opens Course in Mechanical Training
Many Take the Chance Offered.

Manhattan, Kan, March 3.-Inten-
sive training in mechanical subjects is
just as successful now as it was in war
time, according to the results shown
in the engineering division of the Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
The college took a leading part in
training technicians and mechanicians
for the army in the war. When the
arrnistice was signed, the institution
decided to utilize its experience in Civ
ing intensive training to civilians n
similar subjects. Under this plan about
500 men have been trained since Janu-
airy l.
With the success of this work, the
college has determined to continue in
struerion in special intensive courses
for training automobile mechanics,
tractor operators, blacksmiths, carpen-
tiers, founderymen and machinists.
Students may enroll in any of these
courses on the first Monday of every
month from September to May. The
length of the course will depend upon
the previous training and experience
of the individual.
