mr. Compers, of the American
sderation Of Labor, and Mr..
Allen, Governor of Kansas, in
JOINT debsue, discuss 'ths right Of
q worker TO leave his job"
The average man thought that
question had been settled by Lin
coin. The difference between
slaves and freemen is that tho
slave cannot leave his job without
permission of the master.
.xLathrop Stoddard, in his book,
d'he Rising Tide of Color" shows
you a map Of the world not pleas
Ing to believers in the white race.
Yellow, brown and black domi-
nate on the world map.
The first thing for the white
races to do is to stop boyoctting
Russia, stop the Russian Polish
war and the dozen smaller wars, il
It can be done.
France, England and America
can better afford to lose the bill
hons lent to the Czar than to have
powerful Russia, justly enraged
and a vengeful, unite, with brown
Asia against white Europe.
Former Asiatic invasions failed.
They came on foot and on horse
back, eating up the country as they
came.
Another Asiatic invasion, man
aged by japanese cunning and
Russian wealth, might come in
Tying machines, destroying cities;
in battleships through the Darda-
! nelles, devastating Mediterranean
regions,
What would have happened here
our white forerunners had
sught each other instead of unit

cabled Burnham, of the London
Telegraph, and Northcliffe, of
the London Times, urging that
newspapers unite to stop the war
that still goes gayly on, constantly
diminishing the number of living
whites and the resources Of the
white survivors.
The great State of New York is
about to endure much trouble and
expense for a woman's sake. Spe-
cial attendants will be engaged
for her, special quarters provided,
. special costume designed.
Future historians reading this
would say, "Surely it was a noble
woman, probably an important
mother in delicate condition, for
whom the State took SO much
trouble"
Not exactly that. The lady in
the case, colored, is going to Sing
Sing prison to be killed by elec-
tricity. She will be the first
woman to enter Sing Sing in sixty
tears.
The special attendants will be
Sfemale death guards" and three
extra male guards. An exclusive
cell outside of the regular death
house" will be the special apart
ment, and a bloomer costume,
making it convenient to apply
electricity to a woman's leg, with
out setting fire to her dress, will
be the special costume. All OF
which will give the future a good
idea of "high civilization" in 1920.
Another measure OF modern
civilization was furnished by an
audience at Geneva cheering loudly
while young Hungarian woman
was crushed to death by a python.
The crowd did not. know that
the girl, a snake charmer, was
really dying. But It hugely en-
joyed what it thought to be an
imitation of a great snake crush
ing girl.
Not much Of a change in human
savagery since Calvin, leader OF
kSwiss Protestants, called by Renan
'-the most Christian man Of his
time" had Doctor Servetus burned
alive October, 1858, because Serve
tus did not share Calvin's re-
Ngious views.
The crowd that cheered the py-
thon crushing the girl had some
thing left of the crowd that jeered
: when Servetus, eaten by the flames,
begged, for the love Of God, that
someone would put an end to his
misery.
We improve very slowly. But,
fortunately, scientists tell us, we
have still millions Of years to live
and learn on this planet.
With fine speeches and pro
found respect" that cost nothing,
dead soldiers were honored on
Sunday. At the same time a
funeral for soldiers was under way
in the city of Washington. 1t was
the funeral of "The Bonus BILL
The Senators are expected to bury
the bill. 1t will go to the COM
mittee and. be forgotten"
Soldiers, not only swindled. but
treated with contempt, ought to
fmake politicians realize what they
think about 1t. Unfortunately,
politicians have things nicely ar
ranged. Both Republicans and
Democrats Joined In the interesting
