NO REASON TO CHANGE.

For over a quarter Of century
the motto flying at the mast head OF
the Dallas Express has been: Tho
Republican Party is the ship; all else
is the sea" 1t is there today. In
all the vicissitudes and charges
which have passed through the coun-
try. we have had no reason to change.
The party born as protest against
human slavery, and to preserve the
union from cession and concomitant
evils. is still necessary to IFS develop
ment and perpetuation. And today
returning from the battle fileds OF the
World war, the people instinctively
turn to It as its best hope OF recon

II is doubly a pity and a shame to
American civilization that the out
break in the national capital and in
Chicago should have occurred after
q period Of united national endeavor
for the noblest Of aims. chief among
which is the securing Of the right
of life and elf-deterfnination to oil
peoples
In that struggle the American Ne
gro, despite the disabilities and the
Limitations which have encompassed
him IN some parts OF the country In
the past. has done his full share to
insure the attainment OF the national
purpose.

Of the things that we must do is to
instill never conception of life
into the hearts of our brave Negro
service men who are now returning
to civilian pursuits.
The most beneficial and valuable
possession that the soldiers and
sailors have, as they leave the service
OF their Government, is their War
Risk Insurance policy. The Negro
soldiers carried approximately two
billion five hundred million dollars
worth OF this insurance.
The Bureau of War Risk Insurance
is now launching nationwide cam
paign OF volunteer workers in the
Red Cross Association, Insurance
companies of the country, etc., for
the purpose of saving this insurance
for the soldiers"
Clifford has made his cause clear

Far Too Much.

We are having far too much hooli-

credit. There is no conceivable rea-
son for it. To say that it is pro-
duct of our war excitation is trife
too humiliating = it is to pronounce
ourselves nation of psychopthics.
The trouble is simply that some ele-
ments always lagless think from
careless newspaper reading. that this
is an epoch of generally relaxed
authority and that they can do what
they please. They Llust be speedily
convinced to the contrary If it takes
all the soldiers in The Unhed States.

Job For Other Cities.

springfield, Mass. Republican,
Apparently there will be no solu-
tion Of the problem until the Negroes
find places in which to live comfort
ably. Suppression of the rioting must
be expected within a few days; but
after that 1t may be necessary for the
city to lake the housing situation into
its own hands. 1t would be cruel
to blame Chicago now for lack of
foresight. With species of civil
war aud a street car strike on its
hands, the city will hardly be in a
mood for being upbraided. Other
cities will do better to inquire wheth-
er they have any explosive situations

is a lawless city with a lawless Gov
eminent. What whites and blacks
are doing to each other today is what
whites have been doing to each other

nor criticism among his fellow citi-

suppression bordering on violence.
Let it be made clear that any riot

white or Colored, will be knocked
down where he stands or runs, and
possibly shot. Let the word go out
that rioters will be considered as our

5000 CARS STOLEN
HERE SINCE JAN. 1
Locks Of Proved Value Urged
to Protect Owners From
Thieves.

II has been estimated by District At
have been stolen since January l. and 1t
Is his intention to start campaign in
the near future against the strongly or
ganized gang of thieves which has been
working with apparent impunlty for the
last six months. The authorities are to
give preference to the cases of automo-
bile theft on the criminal calendars in an
effort to protect owners and to speed the
prosecution and conviction OF offend
era
Things have reached such a condition
that Police Commissioner Enright has
promised the fullest cooperation in COM
batting the evil. In order for any cam
paign against automobile thievery to be
success the automobile owner must
personally be willing to do his utmost in
safeguarding the car. because in a city
the size OF New York, where thousands
OF cars operate daily, II is wellnigh i'm
possible for police officers to detect any
but fragrant attempts to steal an auto
mobile.
If every owner will install one of the
recognized automobile locks from the
company who sold him his car originally.
it will greatly aid the Police Department
in its work. Many automobile deal
ers have been advocating the use of
locks for a long time, add the fact that
practically all of the cars stolen are not
equipped with a theft device Is conclu-
sive evidence that owners themselves are
somewhat negligent.
Tho Colt Stratton Company. Dodge
Brothers distributors in New York. has
a line Of automobile locks that is rec
commended to Automobiles. One device,
the johnson Automobile Lock, is so made
that 1t locks the gears In neutral. An
other, the NuLock, renders the car i'm
possible to steer.
Still a different lock Is the Auto Sig
nal Device. an oval bar of steel that is
clamped and locked on the front wheel.
This makes 1t impossible for the car to
be driven or towed without instantly
being detected, due to the bouncing and
jumping along the street. The lock
comes In several sizes and may be used
on any car. Although this device is new
in the Eastern market 1t has met with
tremendous success throughout the West
