OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla. Sept.
1.-The brutal murder OF Claude
Chandler by a mob OF masked men
has caused much excitement and
threats OF renewed trouble. Our
people are in no humor to continue
to tolerate the inhuman Treatment

from unwarranted invasion by men
who themselves were violating the
law by entering his premises.
Action of Officers Unjustifed
1t is a notorious fact in this state
that the men who administer the law,
especially in the form OF officers,
deputies and marshals are OF the most
ignorant type OF whites and predicate
ones guilt or innocence upon his
racial identity. Members OF the col
ored race of this section have gone
as far as they intend to go in toler-
ating this type OF men and this class
OF treatment.
Prepared to Protect Their Homes
A number OF citizens of Arcadia,
which is twenty-five miles northeast
of Oklahoma City have made prepa-
rations to protect their homes and
their families against the Oklahoma

have gathered about three blocks
from the business district of the city,
which separates the residence dis
tricts OF the two races, for the pur
pose OF heading off any attempt on
the part OF hoodlum whites of burn
ing their section of the city. The
apparent abandonment of all indica-
tions of the intention by the legal
to preserve order makes
it obligatory upon our people to pro-
tect themselves as best they can.
The manly stand taken by colored
men in this crisis has won the COM
mendaton and support Of many OF the
fair-minded members of the white
race here.
Governor Orders Sherihs Removed
Gov. J. r. \. Robertson today sent
letter to the attorney general of
the state directing that immediate
steps be taken TO remove the sheriff
of Tulsa and Oklahoma counties from
office. He charges that the sheriffs
were in cqllusion with the mob and
were wholly unfit by lack of physical
courage as we'll as moral to discharge
the duties of their offices. Their
weak -kneed attitude forced no other
conclusion but for Negroes to arm
themselves for defense.

Franklin Willing to Return

In a statement made to the WHIP,
the Rev. Franklin said that he was will
ing to undergo even the bitter irony
of a trial before a Southern jury if it
would result in the vindication of free
speech with relation to the Negro ques-
ton.
1t will be remembered that at the first
trial of Rev. Franklin, he was not only
intimidated, but his legal adviser was
also threatened with death and beaten
with sticks.

grade of cotton in the same day varied
from 81 to SIS a bale and cotton of

sold for considerable less than cotton

This means that the farmer has not

1t is clear that the individual farmer
can not solve the trouble along;
through the American Cotton asso-
citation he can form cooperative
marketing associations, employ high
class technical men who can class and

Mr.. Wannamaker touchingly told
of conditions which prevailed in the
South following the Confederate war,
and his voice broke as he declared
that the doors of the school house
were closed to him when he was Is
years of age because Of the low price
of cotton. He said that this should
and would never happen in the South
again. The South, he said, has a
monopoly on cotton and the farmers
will see to it that they get a price for
it which will be enable them to live

have good roads good schools, good
churches and enjoy the comforts of
life.

Mr.. Wannamaker complimented the
people of school districts Nos. 8 and
10 for the splendid manner in which
they have rallied to the support of the
American Cotton association. He told
them that the association was making
progress and predicted that the time
was coming when the spinners of New
England would be coming to the South
begging the farmers for their cotton.
He declared that too long the farmer
had been forced to beg the spinners
to take his cotton. The tables are
going to be reversed.

The farmers of Richand ,ountv
were urged by the speaker to arrange

other counties had done this and the
farmers had saved lots ot money. Ar
rangemcnts have been perfected by

wishes one.
ON Terms of Equality.

things, the producer should have equal
