DEATH IN THE POT

From colored man s standpoint in the
United States, life is lust one damn thing
after another.'' and while he is often directly
responsible for many Of his troubles, yet,
once in them, and the aftermath is doubly
severe with him to what it is with white
man guilty Of a like or even more agri
waited otfense. The recent lynching of three
colored men in Duluth, Minnesota, is fair
sample of the extreme penalty that is meeted
out to colored men by white men, owing to
the fact that the white men are OverWhelm-
ingy in the ma ajority, almost in every COM
munity throughout this country. "Might
makes right Whether the accused men
were guilty or innocent did not figure in the
punishment they were elected to receive, but
they were black and any time black person
is accused of crime he or she is unqualifiedly
guilty though he or she really be innocent.
In other words, if this black devil did not
do it then some black devil must have done
it and what s the 'dif, - which one of them
is punished. The scenes of Omaha are still
fresh in the minds of fair thinking white and
black folk and the causes for that murder
and holocaust were found to be too shocking
and revolving, from white mans stand
point, to be put in print. The country by and
large has waited patiently for Gen. Leonard
race riot, but, Wood, being a candidate for
the L. S. presidency, concluded that, so far
as that report was concerned, "sience was
golden.'
We truly hope the seventeen-year- old
white girl. - about whom the three Duluth
Negroes were lynched was not like unto the
Omaha white girl, about whom one Negro
was lynched and the town almost destroyed
who if is said fOmented the trouble to Get
even with an accomplice in crime, but since
three Negroes have been lynched to protect
the innocence of white women, it's hoped
that that Duluth white girl was actually
abused by the accused and that they paid
the penalty, awful as it was, justly for their
viciousness. We oppose capital punishment; !;
we oppose mob law and we oppose Judge
LYNCH but we have little no care what be-
falls any man. who will violently attempt to
rob woman and doubly so if she be one in
tender years. of her innocent virtue. But
we can not figure out why 'three vicious
Negroes' WOULD at one and the same time
seek to rape a seventeen-year- girl. Many
lynchings of Negroes have come under our
observation from time to time, and we speak
without bias or prjudice, and we have yet
to know of lynching on account Of white
woman, where the woman herself was not
of more or less questionable character, and
the acused Negro had ventured into the fatal
pitfal by some form Of an invitation. BE it
remembered that in most communities OF
this country that it is equally criminal for
a Negro to cohabit with white woman, be
she of young and tender years, as it is for
him to violently rape her. Even white
women are not all angels, though great
majority of them may be, and knowing the

JUSTICE TO ALL!

When wars mad guns were roaring
When deadly bombs were soaring,
When the land called for men,
Who sneered about complexion?
Who scorned his brave protection
Or slurred the dark man then?
His virtues then were lauded.
His daring deeds applauded.
His courage not denied.
For home and country standing,
Justice and right demanding,
His race was glorifed.
Ingratitude is hateful
'Tis base to be ungrateful.
God, save us from disgrace!
No man should be inhuman.
Each man should be a true-man
And just to every race!
Away with persecution
With righteous resolution
TO wrong a race refuse!
Color, all men inherit.
Judge everyone by merit
And give to each his dues!

Total

The white men of this country make the
laws for the regulation Of it's citizens; the
white men enforce the laws and the white
men execute the laws and we see no excuse
for them not letting the law take it's course
however heinous the crime may bc-two
wrongs never make a right.

Feeling Bad

whats the NATTER" ooh, ! don't
know. Just feel bad. Not what you
would call sick, only stupid, sleepy and
sluggish. Don't feel like doing any
thing" These conditions are truly
nuisances, and it is false notion to
think that you are sick every time you
feel bad. For health is a queer crea-
ture: it seldom remains in perfect
condition, nurse or abuse it as you
choose, it always acts according to its
own laws. These feeling bad conditions
are often due to changes of the season
of the year, like Spring when the sap
is going up and the feeling bad is going
down. They are due largely to the de-
posits of invisible little crystals of Uric
Acid in the blood and kidneys. These
little Crystals arc at times very irritat-
ing and unless removed are going to
make you sluggish and feel bad all over.
Get rid Of them at once by flushing
them out with suitable remedies, not the
kind that hurts you but hurts them,
and the best remedy know of for these
especial conditions is
