record for the rights of all citizens at
every opportunity, and one of these is
Senator Michael Kinney (white) of this
city.
Last week Senator Kinney, one of
the acknowledged Democratic leaders
in this state, introduced bill in the
state Senate at jefferson City de-
signed to SUPPRESS mobs and mob vio-
lence in Missouri. 1t declares any as
semblage of five or more persons for
unlawful purposes to be a mob and
participants are subject to fine of
from 500 to $1,000 and Jail sentences
from thirty days to twelve months. For
serious damage to persons and proper
ty members of mobs are subject to
fine of $1,000, with a maximum SEN
tence of five years in the penitentiary.
Officers who surrender prisoners to
mobs or who permit them to be taken
away to be lynched are subject to i'm
mediate removal from office.
Senator Kinney has long been known
as the poor mans friend in st. Louis
and has been prominently mentioned
as candidate for mayor of this city
and governor of the state. There is an
excellent chance for his bill to become
a law, both the moral conviction of the.
better citizens of the state and politi-
cal conditions being ripe for such
measure.

CHEYENNE, WY0., news
CONTINUED on page ~

The wyoming State Senate passed
the House Joint Resolution on depre-
cation of mob and lynch law.
The Senate chambers of the Fif-
teenth Wyoming State Legislature was
crowded to capacity when the House
Joint depreciation of mob and lynch
law came before the committe of the
whole. Senator w. G. Green of Wa
Shake county, Democrat, moved to ta-
BILE resolutions. This move caused ex-
citement on the floor; Senator s.
Skovgard Big Horn county, Democrat,
asked to know why such just meas
ure should be tabled. He asked Mr..
Green why he, senator whom he had
always believed fair, would even think
to table such just and reasonable
measure. Mr.. Green replied: Because
7 do not wish to have it published to
the world the fact that such atrocious
things can happen in our state"
Mr. Skovgard stated such things
have happened on several different
times; he believed and knew it to be
a Just measure and should be passed.
Senator Nels A. Pearson, Sheridan
County, Democrat, stated he believed
in fairness and justice to all, and if
this Fifteenth Legislature had not as
sembled to do Justice to all, then 1t
was a failure.
Senator Thomas G. Powers, Goshen
county, Republican. and president of
the Senate, was on the floor to cham
pion the measure, advanced a few
steps and said: 81 am willing the
world should know that mob and lynch
law is cruel and unjust and am will
ing to admit our evils and use every
method to purge this state of lawless-
ness. Mr.. Green withdrew his motion
to table.
Mr.. S. Skovgard moved the resolu-
ton be passed and carried. Resolu-
ton was signed by Governor Robert
Carey on Feb. %.
The pen with which Governor Carey
signed House Joint Resolution No. IL
was handed to Mr.. John Brushwood
as a token of good will towards him
and his people.

of the French soldiers. Although they
were unaccustomed to the French
arms and equipment. with which they
were provided, they quickly adapted
themselves to their use within very
short time. They went into the battle
with surprising GOODNESS and gave the
very best account of themselves.
General Goubet said. II will never
forget the irresistible dash and the
heroic push of the colored American
regiments. The most formidable de-
fenses; the best organized machine gun
nests: the most smashing artillery
barrages which German efficiency
could devise could not stop them.
These superb regiments faced all of 1t
with courage devotion and supreme
disdain of death"
General Pershing also said of the
Negro soldiers: THE spirit among the
coIored combat troops exhibited fine
capacity for quick training and eager
ness for the most dangerous work"
Lieut.. Robert l.. Campbell, a Tuske-
gee graduate. on one occasion was in
charge of accommodating party, sent
out to locate a German machine gun
nest. They had great difficulty in
finding it, Finally Lieut.. Campbell
sent one of his men into thick
growth of underbrush and tied ropes
to several of the bushes. Then these
ropes were pulled by the men so as
to give the impression to the enemy
that party of scouters We're moving
around in the thick shrubbery. At
once the enemy machine guns opened
direct fire on this particular spot.
This located the nests and this officer
and his squad then crept around to
the rear and captured a number of the
Germans and silenced the guns which
had been causing so much trouble. For
this extraordinary and daring piece of
work. Lieut.. Campbell was promoted
on the field to a captaincy.

THE BLACK REGIMENT
BY GEORGE HENRY BOXER.

Dark as the clouds even,
Ranked in the western heaven,
Waiting the breath that lifts
All the dread mass, and drifts
Tempest and falling brand
Over a ruined land
So still and orderly,
Arm to arm, knee to knee,
Waiting the great event,
Stands the black regiment.
Down the long dusky line
Teeth gleam and eyeballS shine;
And the bright bayonet,
Bristling and firmly set,
Flashed with purpose grand,
Long ere the sharp command
OF the fierce rolling drum
Told them their time had come,
Told them what work was sent
For the black regiment.
Now" the flag-sergeant cried,
"ThOugh death and hell betide,
Let the whole nation see
If we are fit to be
Free in this land; or bound
Down, like the whining hound
Bound with red stripes of pain
In our old chains again ~
oh, what shout there went
From the black regimenti
Charge - trump and drum awoke !;
Onward the bondmen broke;
Bayonet and saber stroke
Vainly opposed their rush,
Through the wild battles crush,
With but one thought aflush,
Driving their lords like chaff,
In the guns mouths they laugh.
Or at the slippery brands,
Leaping with open hands,
Down they tear, man and horse,
Down in their awful course;
Trampling with bloody heel
Over the crashing steel,
All their eyes forward bent,
Rushed the black regiment.
"Freedom ~ their battle-cry,-
"Freedom or leave to die !"
All and they meant the word,
Not as with us it's heard,
Not a mere party shout;
They gave their spirits out;
Trusted the end TO G0u,
And on the CORY sod
Rolled in triumphant blood,
Glad to strike one free blow,
Whether for veal or woe;
Glad to breathe one free breath,
Though on the lips of death;
Praying-alas in vain
That they might fall again,
So they could once more see
That burst to liberty!
This was what freedom" lent
To the black regiment.
Hundreds on hundreds fell:
But they are resting well;
Scourges and shackles strong
Never shall do them wrong.
Oh, to the living few,
Soldiers, be just and true!
Hail them as comrades tried;
Fight with them side by side;
Never, in field or tent,
Scorn the black regiment
