1NFLAM1NG SOUTHERN NEGROES.

There is evidence of a propaganda TO m1u-
ence the negroes of the south and lnclte them 10
uprisings It appears to be engineered and I'M
anced by bolsheviki and their sympathizers, and
It is an open secret that many southerners have
uneasy forebodings of trouble brewing in their
states.
The south is still paying for the sin of slavery
the sin of their fathers. Two generations
have carried the burden of it and according to
the scriptural reckoning a third and fourth gen
Grafton will have to toll at the debt before 1t Is
worked out The mistake the new south made
was its failure to recognize that it must educate
its enfranchised citizens. Mass ignorance is al
WAYS a peril to state The illiterate lands OF
Europe are the breeding grounds OF bolsher1sm.
Russia with its supplemented, densely ignorant
peasantry so easily misled, has suffered most.
They knew not what use to make of liberty
when they got it. Unreasoning, thoughtless OF
tomorrow they used their freedom as animals
do and brought unreasonable calamities upon
themselves. And now their governing caste is
paving by an awful, unforgettable experience
the penalty for having kept them In ignorance
so long.
The southern negro and the Russian mouJlk
are on somewhat the same intellectual plane.
Both are the easy prey Of demagogues Both
have some real grievances which their ruling
classes were little concerned to redress 1t Is
a criminal, horrible thing to stir up racial hat
red in the southern states; but the south should
awaken to the fact that only by justice to its
negroes and unremitting efforts to lift them as
fast as possible in the scale of development car
it solve the problem entailed by slavery and left
by the civil war.

WITH OR WITHOUT?

It is not always feasible in law enforcement
to consider the motive in which an act is done.
The administration Of justice would be i'm
mensely difficult or impossible if an alleged ex-
cellence of intention or ignorance of the law
could be pleaded in defense. Yet in certain mat
ters motive does determine whether an act is
proper and pardonable or something else. A
woman, elegantly attired, entered one Of New
York City's ''swell' hotels the other day and
taking a seat at table in the summer garden
atop the roof made no attempt to hide but
rather reveal the fact that she wore no stock
ings with her low-cut patent leather pumps.
She was quietly and politely informed that
stockingless women were not entertained there
and requested to leave, which she did, though
insisting that her attire was proper.
1t would not be easy to prove that she was
guilty of Intentional indecorum, nor is it clear
that she violated any law or was committing
any moral wrong. Hosiery, however lacy
would have robed her beyond criticism. Ever
hair net stockings probably would have passeC
muster; and as these would have been as com
Portable as none, the presumption is that hel
object was to attract attention. This is not IL
Itself reprehensible desire, nor is it in anywist
strange. Much Of the lack Of covering Of thu
body nowadays aims at this. But there is ;

point beyond which it cannot be permitted II
any decorum in dress is to remain
1t is beginning to be evident that an epoch mas
come upon the world in which social conveh-
tions will be challenged with more audacl'y
than ever before. Turkish women have taken
off their wells Partisan women have taken OH
their stockings Here in Keokuk some women
too shy yet to follow the example OF thelr
French sisters, have gone half length and sport
socks made for men, Emanclpated women
everywhere seem determined to give old ideas
the fight of their lives. Epochs like TINS nave
come upon the world before, following Puritan
ism in England and revolution IN France. bu'
the result in the long run has been that while
pruderv has lost some ground, propriety has
held her own. though the line between them is
little differently drawn in every age.

Chicago Tribune: The league OF
nations covenant may be a hoax.
dream, a dose of dope or something OF
practical utility in human affairs. we
are convinced that the elder states
men OF Europe, typified by Clemen'
ceau, consider il hoax. Clemenceau
never before was so extremely bored
by anything in his life as he was BY
the necessity of making pious pre-
tense in the covenant when what he
wanted was the assurance Of the triple
alliance. He got that assurance
which. along with the French watch
on the Rhine. the French in the Saar
valley and in Africa, with German
money going into French Golfers,
makes him tolerably indulgent OF the
altruistic rhetoricians.
The English, the intelligent Eng
lish, we know have their tongues In
their cheeks The Italians are petu-
liant imperialists and Japan doesn't
care what happens to the league SO
long as Japan says what shall happen
{, in Asia.
| With these facts and Indications as
plain as day Americans are taking
! the covenant as dose OF dope which
will produce a dream and in this they
are doing their best to deprive the
league of any practical utility which IL
might have for the United States ana
/ for the world.
/ The most conspicuous American ad
vocates Of the league do not stand IN
agreement with their own ideas two
weeks running. What is inviolable
one week is subject to change the
next. Mr.. Taft now doubts the sin
cerity of President Wilson in his

HEARrBREAK AND GoAT-eETTING.

Europe was told some months ago that
America demanded the league and would not
take no for an answer; and now America is told
that Europe demands it and that refusal
would ''break the heart of the world. y 1t would
seem to be something like that remedy for IN
FAINT ailments which the children were said to
cry for: and of course the nations must have 1t
If they feel that way. 1t would be an awful
thing to break the heard Of a world, and no ma
ton except Germany would ever think OF doing
it. Heartbreak is serious thing for a world
as old as ours, and we have record OF any
world which ever got over real severe attack.
Yet China declares that the league is making a
goat of her; and there are Americans who insist,
as the covenant stands now, Europe certainly
would get Americas goat No one can blame
us if we try to guard against that The last
thing we would willingly do would be to break
the heart of Europe; but ours is not any toe
strong. We have had palpitations frequently
and we canot properly be asked to put any toe
violent strain upon own heart. Let us be
very careful therefore to take this powerful
cardiac stimulant in just the proper dose.

We believe that the first principles
and ordinances of the Gospel ars:-
ny Faith IN tho Lord Jesus Christ;
f2l Repentance; ~ Baptism by in'
mersion for the remission Of sins; ~
Iayino on Of hands for the gilt OF the
HOLY Ghost. ARTICLES of Faith A..
John the Baptist proclaimed tne
necessity OF repentance and OF pap
tism by water, which latter he admin
istered to all who came in contrfion
seeking admission to the Kingdom OF
God. With equal feryency, this voice
CRYING in the wilderness foretold q
second or higher baptism. which.
however, John was not authorized 70
give. This he characterized as the
baptism Of fire and the Holy Ghost
ordained to follow his administrator
, and to be given by that Mightier one
whose prominence John delighted 70
proclaim. This was the Baptists
/ testimony:
~ indeed baptlxe you with water
unto repentance: but he that cometn
after me Is miahtier than ], whose
shoes am not worthy to bear: ne
shall baptize you with the HOLY
| Ghost, and with fire" (Matt. Bib.
That the Mightier One referred TO
was none other than Jesus the Christ
| lis thus set forth in the words OF
! John: Behold the Lamb OF God /.
This is he of whom / said. After
me cometh a man which is preferred
before me: for he was before me
And | knew him not: but he
j that sent me to baptize with water,
the same said unto me. Upon whom
thou shalt see the Spirit descend
ing. and remaining on him, the
same is he which baptizeth with the
Holy Ghost" John 1:29-33).
In His incisiye instructions to Nj
codemus respecting the works essen
tial to salvation, the Savior did not
stop with the specification OF the wat
cry birth. Baptism by immersion IN
water. though administered by one
invested with the power of the Holy
Priesthood, is incomplete without
the quickening effect OF the Spirit.
f"Born Of water and Of the Spirit" is
the Indispensable status OF every
man who shall gain admission to the
kingdom of God.
While yet in the flesh our Lord
specifically and repeatedly assured
the Apostles that after His depar
ture the Comforter or the Spirit OF
Truth would be sent unto them;
and the scriptural context plainly
shows that these expressive appella
lions have reference solely to the
Holy Ghost. Amidst the solemnities
OF His ascension, the Lord reiterat
ed these assurances of a spiritual
baptism. saying: For John trul!
baptized with water; but ye shall be
baptized with the Holy Ghost no,
} many days hence" (Acts 1859.
A rich fulfilment was realized al
the succeeding Pentecost. when the
assembled Apostles were endowed
with Unprecedented power from
heaven, being filled with the influ
ence of the Holy Ghost so that the!
spake in tongues other than thei
own as the Spirit gave them utter
ance. An outward manifestation o
this Divine investiture was seen IL

instruction. Continued upon thei

to buy cheap land and make profit
by the general advance in land prices.
The owner of such land is almost GER
tain to find his land values.
But the instinct for land as Ire
preserver is a true instinct. Ihere
is no question as to the superiority
of the nation of little land holders as
compared with nation of landlords
and tenants Not only Is the govern
ment more stable when many own
the land; life itself is better defended
against the ills of poverty and oppres
sion. An affectionate and loving
care for the land is prerequisite
