We are in receipt of a copy Of Treat
EN- Rough, magazine published by
Arthur Guy Empey, New York City.
The number contains an article on
"Our Stand on Bolshevism," which is
well worth reading. No distinction is
made in the article between bolshev,
ism, anarchism and I. w. W.-ism-
the writer places all in one category
He handles the terrorists without
gloves and advises everyone to "treat
'em rough" and show them that enc
mics of the government must be sup
pressed. He declares that bolshevisn
is greater menace to America thar
was the Hun before the war.

Election of. Officers.

The annual election Of officers of
the Civic Betterment club of Princeton
occurred on Friday, March IA. The
following officers were reelected: Mrs.
J. C. Herdliska, president; Mrs. Mar
tina Mallette, vice president; Mrs. J..
F. Peterson, treasurer. Mrs. Robt.
King resigned the secretaryship and
Mrs. Neil A. Stacey was elected to
the office.
The club voted to assume the re-
sponsibility of the upkeep Of the ceme-
terry for this summer. This will be
the fourth summer that the club has
attended to The care Of the cemetery.
For obvious reasons the Civic Bet
terment club has not been very active
during the period Of the war, but it is
reviving its different activities and has
taken in a number of new members.
Every woman in town who has the
welfare of the community at heart
should belong to this club as it offers
the one opportunity for the women OF
all the different churches to work in
unison. The wonderful work accom-
plished by the different war work
organizations has proved what the
women. of the country can accomplish
by cooperation. The same good car
be accomplished on a smaller scale II
! any town by cooperation. If the co
operation Of all women in our town
could be depended upon our communit.
could soon be model one, withou
any great effort on the part Of an!
one person.
The regular meetings Of the clul
are held every other Friday. The mex
meeting will be held tomorrow after
!, noon in The basement Of the armory
j, Every woman who is interested j
urged to attend.

No mercy should be shown the IS
Villa bandits who were captured near
Socorro, Texas, while attempting to
cross the Mexican border with horses,
rifles, ammunition and other military
equipment for the purpose of starting
a revolution. They should be taken
out some morning and shot before
sunrise. Not that they are any worse
than Carranza's so-called soldiers, but
they should be shot as an example to
other Mexicans who may upon some
future occasion be tempted to cross
into the United States for the purpose
of smuggling back supplies.

Dignitary Tumulty, having been re-
quested by his butler, valet de cham
bre and other carbohydrates to run
for governor, remarked: "My present
duty is to stay in Washington, where
I may be of some little service to the
great man I am trying modestly to
serve. To go into the governorshlp
fight would mean severance of my
relations with him at time when /
believe I can be of some real service
here" Withal, has it not been gen
orally conceded that this "real service
has consisted largely of playing
pinochle with the janitor in the base
ment?

We agree with one Of President Will
sons bodyguard of college professors
that "no man should consider himself
so superior to his fellowmen that he
takes upon himself the task of re-
forming the nations of the earth and
pompously debating to. them the
policies they should pursue" This
looks like another slam at President
Wilson, but maybe the college profess
sor has been snubbed and is jealous
because he was not invited to dine
off the golden plates at Buckingham
palace and had no opportunity to re.
late fish stories to Queen Mary as die
our esteemed president.

1T is being planned by the war
finance committee to issue bonds for
100000, 900 to keep the railroads in
operation. Why not turn the roads
over to their owners, who understand
how to operate them at profit? We
are told that the administration is now
economizing on railroad operation
But what is the use Of economizing
now-after deficiency of $70O,000,-

gram should have been commenced
when the government commandeerec

OF course no man would refuse to
enter into debate with a gentleman,
but when the sniveling dub Of MeHl-

nothing of running the risk Of being

"Mr. John Mitchell, IL, Editor,

My dear Mr.. Mitchell: In recent
issues OF The Planet several editorials
have appeared, written without doubt
in good faith, concerning the parti-
cipation by DR.. w. e. b. Dubois,
Editor Of the Crisis and Director OF
Publications. and Research Of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
mcnt OF Colorcd People, IN tho Pan
African Congress which was held in
Paris last week.
"In these editorials The Planet has
stated that Dr. Dubois docs not re-
present the American Negro; that no
has gone to France upon a mission
without being clothed with specific
authority" and it has been intimated
that he has gone as representative
of the United States Government. In
order that these impressions may be
corrected, | would like to make the
following statement.
THAT THREE-FOLD CAPACITY.
DR.. Dubois was not sent to France
by the United States Government but
by the National Association IN a
three-fold capacity: as the special
correspondent of the Crisis at tho
Peace Conferences: to col ect first
hand material for history OF the
Negro in tho Great War: and az
representative OF the National Asso-
ciat'on for tho purpose Of brinei"g
all pressure possible to bear on the
delegates at the peace table In the
interest OF the colored people OF the
United States and Of the word.
One OF tho means Of effecting the
latter purpose was tho calling OF
Pan-African Congress, such as has
lust been held in Paris. Both DR..
Dubois and tho other executive off,
GERS Of the National Association
realized some time since that no
American Negro would be granted
seat at the peace table. The Con-
gress was intended to bring to the
attertio, Of the delegates and the
world the problem Of the Negro, both
in America and out Of 1t.
REPRESENTS MANY BRANCHES.
AS for DR.. Dubois being without
specific authority, I wish to state that
since he was sent by tho National
Association as its duly accredited re-
preventative, he is in France today
as the representative Of the one hum
drcd and seventy-two branches Of the
Association with membership OF
over forty-siX thousand BY reason
Of that feet. I believe that I am safe
In saying that DIR. Dubois Is as truly
representative Of the Negro as any
man in France.
