LIBERIA.
An Address Before the Missionary and
Tercentenary Convention at ST.
James Church, Friday, March
18th, 1920. BY Mr.. Rueker
Smith.

Liberia, like all governments has
some very interesting history, no
debut, just as inspiring as our Amer
ican history is to its people. 1t is
rather difficult for an American Ne
gro to fully appreciate American his
tory, as it is accepted by white citi-
zens, when he was but a slave az the
time of tbs making. l am sure, no
Negro parents would feel justified in
teaching their sons that they had a
chance to become President Of the
United States. But it would be quite
different if your son was born in Lii
IBERIA where every opportunity is open
to him, a people, whose lives are con-
trolled by another race. which con-
siders you inferior to them, has not
experienced real freedom. While we
were yet chattle-slaves, Liberia was
building a republic; Liberians we're
free people forty-eight years before
we lost our chains. She has been rul-
ing herself as a republic seventy-two
years; we have only been free fifty
seven years and have never ruled our

DR.. BUNDY FREED.

In the case of the People of Illinois
vs.. DR.. Bundy, it will be remembered
that DR.. Bundy was convicted in the
Circuit Court of st. Clair County, Illi-
nois, in March, 1919, and sentenced to
life term at the penitentiary.
DR.. Bundy was represented by Hues-
ton & Galloway, a prominent Kansas
City law firm, and they with their as
sociates in this case appealed TO the
Supreme Court of Illinois, for the rea-
son that DR.. Bundy had not had fair
and impartial trial by a jury of his
peers, but was convicted or prejudice
both of the trial judge and the jury.
The trial judge refused to grant Dr.
Bundy bond pending appeal to the
Supreme Court, whereupon, DR.. Bundy
was sent to the Southern Illinois pen
itentiary, at Chester, and has been con-
fined there since that time.
Messrs. Hueston and Galloway de-
sirous that justice and right be done,
made application to the Supreme Court
of Illinois for a writ of supersedeas.
This writ was directed to Justice Dun
can Of the Supreme Court; the justice
from the district where DR.. Bundy was
tried and convicted. For some rea-
son Judge Duncan requested Justice
Carter of the Supreme Court, residing
at Chicago, to hear the application for
the writ of supersedeas and Justice
Carter finally consented and on last
Monday, March 8, Messrs Hueston &
Galloway presented their petition to
Justice Carter in his chamber at Chi
cago.
After hearing these gentlemen's
presentation of their reasons why
Dr.. Bundy should be liberated on bail,
supported by brief and a record of
the proceedings, Justice Carter took
the matter into consideration and in
formed the gentlemen that he would
pass on the matter at 800 o'clock in
the afternoon, at which tint he would
give a, decision. At 800 o'clock in
the afternoon Justice Carter told the
gentlemen that he would grant the
writ of Supersedeas filed by the at
torneys for DR.. Bundy and fixed the
bond at $4,000 to be made by quail
fled persons in Cook County, Illinois
Too much credit cannot be given
Messrs. Hueston and Galloway, the
distinguished attorneys who have
heen so aggressive in this matter in
the very initial steps taken during
the trial unto tho Supreme court. to
see that DIR. Bundy be given fair
and impartial trial as guaranteed to
him under the laws and constitution
of the State of Illinois and the United
States.

selves. Liberia can and will solve her
problems, she is destined to be the
leading force OF Africa, so far as the
race is concerned. All of the leading
nations of Europe have possessions in
Africa and for more than a cen
tury carried on traffic in slaves. Not
any of them was as fair as the United
States, who secured a colony for
refugee slaves and then helped them
through many difficulties. Our text
books gives no inspiring information
of Liberia and its people; we have &C
cepted 1t however, with the same spir-
it of ridicule and discredit as the white
race does, whom II was meant for.
Africans are looked upon by white
races as "impossibles," so far as ANAL
gamation is concerned. The American
Negro no exception. 1t is quite nat
ural, think for you cannot legislate
equality of races. The solution TO the
Negro problem, in the United States,
is in the hands of the white race. 1t
to the Indian problem, which has un-
dergone many changes. l fear, that
we do not realize this as race. We
are hoping for equal opportunity with
the white race, and the majority of our
race. believe me, will get it some day.
Missionary work in Africa has been
closely followed by wealth seekers,
not all times did they have the welfare
Of the natives at heart; but l am sure
the Negro missionaries of the United
States are sincere. In Liberia, no
doubt the same is true In other parts
of Africa. the industrial development
has been neglected. To change a
man you must change his environment
Any community. whether here or in
Africa, can be lifted to a higher de
gree of civilization. Liberia would be
confronted with a serious problem IL
every Negro in America was unloadSJ
on her The criminal tendencies prev
alent thousands of Negroes of this
country, would be hard to cope with.
think under proper management the
American Negro, those of good morals,
qualified industrially or wish ID, be-
come qualified, can transplant, 30 to
speak, the best part OF Americas
Civilization on Liberia Soil. There IS
no limit to the expansion OF a free

THE LAND OF BEGINNING AGAIN.

Jefferson City, Mo.
Our mind doth wander back
Yes to that old, hometown shack,
When but a lad, at mere play.
We'd pass the hours away
Our hearts we're then so young and
gay,
And We could proudly say:
No fault in you, no fault in me,
Twas so easy TO agree
But now the clock of time has
changed,
New scenes have been arranged;
Back in the land where we use to
roam,
Far from the old folks at home
The change they say is for the best
The future doubtless will tell the test
But the heart with Joy and rapture
will wend,
Back to the land of beginning again

REDS IN RED CROSS
ROLE DUPE THE ALLIES
Lenine Aids Cross Borders on Bogus
Identification Cards-Agents
Use Fake Passports.

London, Feb. 2.-Bolshevist agents
intrusted with messages regarding
sensational widespread red plans have
been for a considerable time travelling
between Berlin and soviet Russia on
false credentials, it is stated in official
quarters The credentials they carried
described them as delegates of the
American Red Cross mission in Berlin
to conduct investigations regarding
the exchange of German prisoners
from Russia.
Lithuanian authorities discovered
the illicit travelling and number OF
arrests followed.
Two men who carried Red Cross
passes admitted they were working
for thescommunists. One woman, SINH
larly equipped, who worked from
Dvinsk, said she had been instructed
to deliver documents to persons she
did not know.
Most interesting of the captures
were two men en- route to Moscow by
way of Berlin. They carried letters
concealed in their necktieS. One of
them was a German and a member of
the Independent socialist party of Ger
many, and the other was a Swiss be-
longing to an extremists organization
called the Socialist-Democratic Organi-
cation of Young People in Switzerland.
The German carried a letter from
the head of a Spartacist organization
in Germany to M. Tchicherin, Russian
bolshevik minister of foreign affairs.
The letter Indignantly denied the re-
port that German Spartacists were
counter-revolutionary to the Russian
bOlsheviki.
