Shreveport, La July S0.-White
people OF this section are greatly con-
cerned concerning the new Exodus OF
Negroes on to the North. There has
never ben such a scarcity of labor as
is found here now.
Vicksburg. Miss, July 30.--Investi-
cations carried on by local authorities
indicate that more than 10000 Negroes
from this section OF the state have left

nor what time he appealed to them
in his Springfield club address to
stand for law enforcement and the
punishment of every man who partic-
ipated in the lynching and the burn
ing of the Negroes.
Last, but not least, is the almost to-
tai lack of disapproval from the lips
of local Democratic politicians OF the
systematic persecution through in
timidation of the better element of
Springfield's Negro citizens.
The people should brand the poll
ticias who are undertaking to make
political capital out of the present
disturbed conditions in our communi-
ty as bad men at heart, and therefore
not to be trusted.

SERVICE NOT THE ONLY ELE-
MENT OF SUCCESS IN LIFE.
By ]. Dallas Bowser.

In paying tribute in public way to
the long years of service which Mr..
Geo. w. Teeters had rendered both to
the Bank of Commerce as a messen-
ger, service alone was emphasized by
several speakers as the chief reason
for the place he had in the hearts of
the people, and from which young
men starting out in life should learn
a valuable lesson.
Without decrying the vale of serv-
ice, as it is fundamental in its i'm
portance in every successful career,
another equally acceptable virtue
which has dominated the movements
of Mr.. Teeters among his fellowmen
has been his pleasing personality,
and with him Kansas City public
sentiment would be unanimous in
naming Mr.. James H. Crews, who for
more than a generation has been in
the Postal service in this city and for
forty or more years, a constant and
faithful teacher of a Bible class in
his Sunday school. Here he is loved
not only by every member of his class
but in the town, everywhere in our
great city he is honored and respect
ed as much for his gladsome way,
gentle manner and a smile that com
forts and cheers. as for his upright
ness of character and faithful dis
charge of his duty as a citizen and
as an employee of his church and gov
ernment. Neither of these men are
guilty of varying moods; they are not
"sometimey' friends. They could not
possess the changeling quality of a
physician | once knew who often
took such turns of being grumpy,
surly and cross, that it was said by
some observing critics that he was
wont to go about the town not only
neglecting to greet an acquaintance,
but had a habit of actually refusing
to speak to himself. The moral is
plain.

The Perrin-Henderson Company is

of music lovers and those who seek

the individual performers. All that
was said then can now be repeated,

WIFE TICKLED NECK
OF DIPLOMAT, is CHARGE

SAN FRANCISCO.-Kittenish an
tics of his wife drove him almost to
distraction, Alexandra Khodjayan,
former official of the Russian gov
eminent, says in suit for divorce
pending here.
They were married in London and
he took his bride, Blanche Khodja-
yam, to Petrograd, where, he de-
clares, she 'jazzed up" an official
party. Great was his embarrhss-
ment, Khodjayan recites, when his
wife tickled the neck of a great dig
nitary who sat next to her at ban
quet of high officials in Petrograd.
There ensued, according to his COM
plant, great whispering and mer-
riment, but poorly concealed, among
the thirty officials, to the intense
humiliation Of the plaintiff.
For that he forgave her, Khodja
yam asserts, but when she called
on him while he was in hospital
here and displayed fancy stockings
she had purchased, to him and all
others in range, it was much too
much. She was wearing the hosiery
at the time, he says.
