SHARP REDUCTIONS
IN YOUR SHOE BILLS

Soles. And as for wearl Neolin
Soles give twice the service of soles /
formerly used, writes II. Moves
Collinson, Hazelton, Pa.
This long service means sharp re-
ductions in those big shoe bills, for il
is because Of worn out soles that most
shoes are discarded. Buy Neolin-
soled shoes, not only for yourself. but
for the whole family, children in
cluded. Also, take your old shoes
to the repairman and have them re-
bottomed with Neolin Soles.
Remember-Ne6lin Soles are water

THE COLORED TROOPS

There are many things that the people of the
United States should not forget One of them
is that the coored man is ever dependable
soldier.
Many regiments of colored troops went to
france Most OF them had an opportunity to
be tested in the trenches and in great battles.
Not a failure on their part has been recorded.
On the contrary, they are credited with cour-
age, enthusiasm and conduct in battle that
places them in the foremost rank among ight-
ing men of all armies
Colored men In the civil war fought bravely
In the SpanlSh-American war and the Philippine
lnsurrection none were better for bravery.
These are facts to remember, not for a day
but for centuries.
Let us hope that after this great world war
IN which our many thousands of colored SOL
diers proved themselves to be of the highest
type OF disciplined men and brave fighters thai
both north and south there will grow up de
termination to see that the coored man re-
ceives the rights that he is entitled to under
the laws.
In this connection it is interesting to state that
two great cities in America, New York and Chi
cage received each one a regiment of coored
soldiers on Monday. The regiment received in
New York was $500 strong 1t paraded on
Fifth avenue in the presence of hundreds of
thousands OF people and had tremendous ova-
ton. Chicago'S famous Eighth regiment color
ed, which became the Three Hundred SEVENTEEN
infantry in France, was received with equal
enthusiasm.
From all sides came reports that the Ameri-
can soldiers in France were in the van of fight
ing men Of the great armies there assembled
1t was American soldiers who first checked
the onward march of the enemy when he was
within forty miles of Paris.
II was the American soldiers who first broke
that famous Hjndenburg line short time be-
tore the surrender.
Il was the American soldiers who taught all
OF the soldiers engaged in France new way of
lighting an enemy, and that new way Of fighting
hurried peace to the world and the greatest
change the world has known. and no soldiers
fought more bravely. more intelligently or more
enthusiastically than the colored Americans.
The Chicago regiment bore siXty-seven CroiX
dc Guere. twenty-eight distinguished service
medals and 250 citations.
The New York command contained III who
wore the CroiX dc Guerre. 1t is q splendid rec
ord that II would be dastardly in this country to
forget-Alwaullee Evening Sentinel

CREATING UNFAvORABLE SENTIMENT
Negro Bandits Given Long
WOrkhouse Terms

Thirty hours after they had held up Uros
Sjan, a saloonkeeper at 274 Greenfield
avenue in his place of business, three ne
gro bandits had begun to serve long work
house terms.
Arthur Hood, Lee Jordan and Joseph
GOdwire were arrested Sunday night by
Detectives Jacob Laubenheimer, Harry.
Ridenour, William Mckinney and Arthur
Burns. Hood, the gunman, was sentenced
on Monday in municipal court to five years
and the other two two to three years each.
Sijan was held up at o'clock Sunday
morning while in possession of 81 900, He
ieaped through a side door and ran into the
street yelling for help. The negroes fled.
The foregoing illustrates the manner in which
newspapers, unconsciously we hope, create SEN
timent against the Negro. There could be no
particular reason except to identify the race of
the highWaymen, for designating the culprits
NEGRO BANDITS" And having done so in
large capitals, could easily have been dispensed
with in'the reading matter. Had the crime been
committed by white men there would have been
no mention of their race and 'the robbers fed
would have accurately described the flight
This constant iteration and reiteration of the
term Negro in every newspaper account of
crimes committed by colored men cannot fail to
poison the minds of readers, whatever else NAV
be its purpose 1t is the law of the association
of ideas-as intleXible as the laws of the Modes
and Persians
The newspapers that do this are not all UNI
friendly to colored people. Many of them have
edltorlaly espoused their cause in no uncertain
language. They simply follow practice that
has long been in vogue when speaking of color
ed person. But it is unkind unfair. unjust to a
people who ask If you will not lift them up, not
to push them down-just stand back and see
them rise.

THE LYNCHING

Hank the roar of rushing feet,
Sounding through Southern street.
Voices harsh and shrill arise,
And the fearful glaring eyes,
Half illumed by glazing torch
Centr'ing round prison-porch
Tell again the tale of shame
Which doth scar one like flame.
Just within the sheriff stands,
And he holds within his hands
More than keys to prison bars
Liberty, the Stars and Stripes,
Justice, Law, and Order, clasped,-
Soon to be rudely grasped
BY the blood-red hand of Guilt,
Stabbing Honor to the hilt.
Hear the loud resounding blows,
Hear the sounds which chaos knows
Diaboic cries and shrieks
When the time of doom bespeaks
For the wight within his CELL
For the souls of them as well,
Who. destroying Justices darts,
Find her barbs have pierced their
hearts.
Faithful steel and during stone
Have collapsed. With Awful groan
Swings the door ajar. o God,
Shouldst withhold Thy chast'ning rod,
Scathless go. For human law
PROSTATE lies. Let Justice draw
Vengefully her damning steel,
Giving Hate what victims feell
Desperate, opposing Fate,
Pleads the victim. Murd'rous hate
Walls him in and sears his soul
Into silence; breaks the whole
Chord of being, and he sees,
AS he grovels on his Aaees,
Demons reeldng in their den,
There before he thought but men.
Horror fees from such sight.
Pity wells her eyes in fright.
Terror, Anarchy, and Death
Hover DER and speed the breath
Of the victim. Eager hands
Drag him to tree which stands
By the wayside, and they swing,
Dangling there, a lfieless Thing!

Ca the same day he was placed in

He accomplished the mission, CON
