of the Day
SHALL WE BREAK FAITH?"

There is nothing that is not sordid
in the utterance OF Senator Harding

Harding is correct i'm his estimate Of

Violated American rights on the high

the materalistic aspects of the case.
Germany had more, or just as much

ASK any man who wore the uni

How about the rape of Belgium?

were made scraps of paper TO Justify
the lust for power OF controlling
Prussianism how about the phosgene

iteration OF the theory that necessity
jusiifies any act of barbarity, Were
these not the impelling forces that
finally sent the United States to the

a stop to this injustice to the
colored people.
We will have the moral sup
port Of our candidate for presi-
dent. Senator Warren G. Hard
ing. In his speech of acceptance
at Marion when he was notified
of his nomination, he spoke out
unqualifiedlv in favor Of the rights
of the colored people.
His words are an eloquent en-
dorsement Of the spirit and letter
of the Beatty bill, the purpose
OF which was to insure to the
colored people their civil rights
by imposing heavy penalties upon
those who would deny them these
rights In other words. they
have the right to choose the
hotel at which they might stop,
the theater which they might at
tend. or the places Of amusement
and recreation To which they
might go, with no questions asked.
The Beatty hill provided penalties
Of SlOO to $500 Zine ana 30 to
80 days Imprisonment, or both.
With six Of our race in the
legislature, backed as they would
be with the moral influence Of
the incoming national administra-
tion Of Warren C. Harding. we
do not see how we could fail to
put over measure similar 10
the Beatty bill.
With the Beatty bill enacted
into law, colored men and women
will be privileged to go where
they please. and when this right
is enforced the white people will
respect you more. This is our
opportunity and We must not lei
it pass"

HOME FORUM
BY THEIR WORDS

Fayetteville Ark, Oct. 2s, 1920.
The Daily Ardmorelte;
The Republican party from earliest
inception has been a war party. Alex
ander Hamilton, the founder was
very combatiye and died in 4 duel
The Democrats are advocates OF peace
beginning at jefferson, their founder,
for Jefferson never had quarrel.
Cleveland kept us out OF war with
Spain three years hut Mckinley em-
broiled us with Spain in seven months.
Likewise Woodrow Wilson kept us
out of the world war three years.
while the Republicans clamored all
the while for war The friends Of the
league Of nations should take note
and place none but Democrats in
power and care OF the leagues interest.
Another point since Elihu Root Is
fighting the league it is well TO no.
tice some precedence in the matter
the Republicans condemn. BY twisting
the Article y they say it VIII send
our troops across the seas. Well, that
is lust what Mr.. Root did in 1893,
under Mckinney as war SecTetary
Root. when he sent our eunboats and
troops TO Asiatic waters 10 capture
Manila Roots words belle his ac-
ton. Action speaks louder than
words"
But Root goes further and says
the league will send forces without
an action of congress, Again he twists
it's meaning Although let it 60 at
that then Mr. Root has actually
done that. too In 1900 under Nc
Klnley he sent our ships and forces
to China to fight in the Boxer Up
rising" by their words" the Bible
says, "ye shall know them TO be de-
ceivers.
The Republican cause must be des-
peratcly bad to need thus bosterlng
up with talsehoods and deceptlons.
But the drowning man catches at
straw"

expresses the views of it's socialist
owners and leaders of the Non
partisan league as follows:
"The latest raid against com.
munists is hailed by the intoler.
ant as a triumph of "American-
ISM" On the contrary it is the
sign of the classification of Amer
ica. Time was when men might
preach anything they chose in
America so long as they did not
commit overt acts of violence.
For a whole generations for
instance, Berkman and Emma
Goldman have been preaching
anarchy in the United States.
And they did no harm whatever.
They merely acted as a safety
valve for people of effervescent
mentality. There was not as
many deaths in America due to
the preaching Of anarchy in all
those years as occurred in any
one year in the coal mines from
failure to install modern safety
appliances
After stating that it has no
sympathy for communism, the
Courier-News concludes:
But we have no idea that eth.
er General Wood and his militar-
lists or John Reed and his com
munists can influence the Amer
ican people, provided free speech
| is permitted and the government
actually attempts to do justice to
all classes. The one danger con-
sists in the growing belief by our
profiteers that the present unjust

Charlie Russell, the Montana
artist, lost one Of his old friends
last week, and his heart was sad
dened. 1t was Neenah, his saddle
horse for the past l8 years, who
left Russells corral and departed
over that lonely dark trail of mys-
terry that man cannot follow, but
which leads, Russell believes, to
green ranges where the feed is
always plenty and where the
creeks always run clear and cool.
-11seehah was getting old, for it
is nearly 20 years since Russell
bought him from Young Boy, a
Cree Indian of Little Bears wan
derine tribe, and the horse was
then around six years old. Since
Russell has had him, Neenah has
led what might be called a shell
tered life, with light work, good
pastuerage in the winter and
plenty Of oats and hay when he
was kept up during the summer
months. Hence his 26 years did
not bear heavily upon him, and
aside from a growing unsteadi-
ness on his feet, he was. still a
serviceable animal and usually
made a pretense that he was go
ing to buck whenever Russell
saddled him up. This, however,
was only little joke between
Neenah and Russell, for the horse
had a gentle disposition and no
vices.
Russell had not ridden Neenah
since last spring, when the old
horse put his foot in hole and
fell, thr,;Yine Russell and break
ing his right wrist. However, as
it looked like a hard winter. Rus.
