Our OWn Subject Race
From the New York World.

One of the most brutal forms of oppression
is the punishment of a whole race for the
crimes of individuals. For many years this has
been and it still is the practice in American
states that do not recognize the citizenship OF
the negro. To accuse a black man is to con-
denim him to torture and death, and resentment
on the part of kindred is held to justify massa-
ores that are complacently dignihed as race
wars.
What we see now in Washington is more
properly to be thus classified than any other
disturbance that we have had, and there is a
reason for it worthy of serious consideration
Negroes are taking part in the hostilities If
they assaulted or shot, they are assaultlng
and shooting in return. In defense Of life, limb
and liberty they are meeting mobs with mobs.
Deplorable as all this lawlessness is, the re-
Spouse of the black man to the white man was
bound to come some time. The negro has long
been free. He has acquired some education
and property. He has made place for himself
in industry. The laws under which he lives
guarantee him equality. He escapes no respon-
sibility that rests upon the white man. Yet in
large sections of the Union when riot is afoot
he is stripped of every right and driven either
into hiding or violence.
Is there anybody at the south or elsewhere
who imagines that the compulsory service of
100000 negroes in the United States army, in
many instances so creditably as to win high
commentator, has had no influence upon them
or the mass Of their people at home? Who is
foolish enough to assume that with 10000 col
ored men in uniform from the southern states
alone, as against 10000 white men, the blacks
whose manhood and patriotism were thus rec
ognized and tested are forever to be logged,
lynched, burned at the stake or chased into
concealment whenever Caucasian desperadoes
are moved to engage in these infamous pas
times?
We grieve over the hardships of many sub
ject peoples long way off and on occasion
manifest something resembling indignation, but
in all the world there is hardly population so
God-forsaken and law-forsaken our own
blacks. Whether it is agreeable or not, there
all Americans that their race wars hereafter
are going to be race wars. The negro citizen
is going to have his day i'll court. 1t ought not
to be necessary for him to fight for it.

r HE airplane sped along so fast.
even General Swallow could
scarcely keep up with it. yet they
came no nearer the rainbow. Judge
Owl puffed along far behind. Every
once in while he'd get enough
wind stored up to boot out a warn
ing: "Hoot. Hoot! You'd better go
home! There's danger in rainbow
gold" Then he'd run all out of
breath, and he'd have to pant and
gasp until he could find wind
enough for another warming.

bow" cried Peggy to Billy. "See. 1t
is beginning to fade already"
What she said was true-the bril-
liant, many-hued arch was growing
fainter and fainter.

How slly!" shrilled General
Swallow. There's the end of the
rainbow right before your eyes!"
1t surely did seem plain enough
resting on the top of a little hill half
a mile away, but then it had seemed
near all the time, only to prove de-
ceptive when they drew close to
where it appeared to be.
'The rainbow's going. going,
gone!" cried Peggy, as the last bit of
color vanished.
Mark the spot where the end
rested-right beside that tall pine
tree on the little hill" cried Billy.

of gold"

daylight Losing"

Blair, Neb., July 26-To the Edi-
tor of The Bee: l think the day
light saving law could better be
called a daylight losing law.
1t not only works a hardship, but
l think it is a sin against the child.
People should be ambitious enough
to get UP if they have something to
do. without letting the hands of the
clock make them believe it is get
ting late. If one hour is good then
two ought to be better. so turn
the clock another hour ahead. l
suppose the wise guys at Washing
ton will soon conceive an idea to
change the rising and setting of the
sun. Gods time is good enough for
me and l cheerfully sign the petit
ton for its repeal.

The senior democratic member of the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations has at last
tumbled to the fact that the reservations will
be made when the treaty is ratified. He says,
however, that any such reservations must be
satisfactory to the president. This is under
stood, but they also must be satisfactory to
the senate. That is where the compromise
comes in.

Farce Of daylight Saving"

Grand Island. Neb., July 23.-To
the Editor of The Bee: The chang
ing of the time. or rather the chang
ing of the clock by turning it ahead
an hour. in order to make ourselves
believe that it is an hour earlier
than it really is by sun time. seems
to me to be nothing but a farce, and
why the people of. the United States
and the government should be quar-
reling with each other about such
a matter seems ridiculous.

manufacturing companies. etc. wish
to go to work an hour sooner that
can very easily be done by their en-

GRAND CANYON.

A great and indescribable surprise
A matchless poem of the wild and crude
Produced by Nature IN lonesome mood
On rocks Of alien shape and mighty
size.
A hundred miles in length, the mountains
rise
Stupendous cliffs and assures, multi
hued-
To dizzy distances in solitude
That mingles with the silence OF the
skies.
The colors are a mass Of harmony
OF cinematic lights that burst ana
stream
And change to shadows Of a purple sea
Like apparitions in a happy dream
In which we lose our own identity
Among sublimities that only seem.

Fists Decide
Match When

An unscheduled rifle match between
two overseas veterans in a Ninth
street shooting gallery last night, wit
messed by several hundreds. resulted
in a remarkable exhibition OF shoot
ing and then a fistic battle between
the contestants that was a fine sub
stitute for the usual Ninth street
movie thriller.
1t was ended by Policeman Barret,
of the First precinct. who arrived In
time to avert possible serious trouble
resulting from the crowd taking
sides.
Private Theodore Burkhardt was IN
the gallery demonstrating to a num-
ber OF admiring friends how he
knocked 'em of In France" and
was plunktng the bulls-eye with mo-
notonous regularity when challenged
by two friends OF Private Donald
Donnegan to a contest with the lat

The challenge was snapped up. It
was agreed to fire twenty-five rounds
each.
Both sides claimed victory with a
perfect score.
You missed one" protested Dom
negan.
And then the row began.
Donnegan had struck Burkhardt a
blood-smearing wallop on the pro-
boscis when Policeman Barret ar
