THE BOND ISSUE

Former Representative William
Hemingway, of Kinds county, who
was chairman Of the appropriations
committee of the House, and who re-
tired in order to become assistant at
torney- general, is beginning to hear
echoes from his statement explana-
tory Of the financial budget which
was disposed of by the legislature. 1t
is noticed that practically all Of the
press comment is exceedingly COM
plimentary of Mr. Hemingway's plain
statement of facts on which his pa
per was based.
The Vicksburg Herald, keen and
competent analyst and critic, in re-
producing few salient extracts had
the following comment:
"These extracts are sufficient as an
indication of the character, scope and
merit Of Mr.. Hemingways state
ment. AS we have, no doubt that the
document will, as it should be, gen
orally and thoroughly circulated, for
the information of the public, we
make no apology for not reproducing
it in full"
Mr.. Hemingway has had it In mind
since he prepared his summary, he
said, to try to get it out in pamphlet
shape. so that it could be more easily
preserved for reference against the
time when the icenoclasts who are
towing for referendum on the bond
issue and public improvements act,
have numbered their artillery, Just
on general principles without inteli.
gent study or honest Interpretation"
The above is from the Jackson
News. In view of Ex-Gov. Noers
statement that he will fight to carry
the five million dollar bond issue for
improvements at the State institu-
tions to the people of the State in a
referendum, the statement of Mr..
Hemingway will be welcomed as en-
tightening and elucidating very
complex problem, and The Dispatch
will produce it if the referendum is
invoked.
Hon. S. B. Johnston, Of this county,
is a very careful and cautious econ
omist when spending the peoples
money Indeed, if he has any fault
1t is his tendency towards
parsimoniousness.

States embarrassing predicament in

FIRE DESTROYS OBRIEN HOME

Fire destroyed the Robert 0'Brien
home, at the corner Of South Ninth
Street and Third Avenue, Friday
morning about II o'clock. The origin
Of the fire is unknown. The house
was almost totally destroyed. Some
delay was experienced in getting the
water on the burning building because
Of a defective water plug. It was
found that the most available plug
was of an antiquated type, and that
it worked just the reverse from the
type now in use.
When water was finally available,
the flames had gained such tremen-
dous Roadway that the firemen direct
ed their attention principally to saw
ing the adjoining structures.
Mr.. 0'Brien's loss is estimated at
about s3,5OO, partially covered by in
sur.nce. Practically all Of the house
hold effects were removed from the
building before extensive damage was
done to them. The principal damage
to the furniture was from water.
Called to Pennington Home.
Yesterday morning the firemen re-
sponded to a call from the home of
Mr. Grady Pennington, on South
Third Street. The explosion of an oil
stove was the cause of small blaze,
which was quickly extinguished by the
firemen. Only nominal damage
resulted.

THE ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end of 1912, put for.
ward the claim that no solution Of the
American color question was possible
except by a resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory.
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
island of Jamaica, where he was gov
ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
Is a British colony and the govern
ment Is just. Colored men enjoy ev-
cry civil and political right which
white men have and there is no color
line.
Among other things Sir Sidney said:
my study and comparison of con.
ditions in the United States and the
West Indies" he said, has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men
are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor
evangelical Christian missionaries. I
do not expect them to adopt the meth
DDS of missionaries. nor do I sympa-
thize with all their programmes. But
1t cannot be ignored l-:at it happened
that the faiths Of the luol who laid
the foundations for the peaceful de.
velopment of the mixed community in
Jamaica were democratic and human.
itarian and, above all, uncompromis-
ingly Christian.
Were race differentiation held to it
must increase civil discord. When the
balance Of numbers is as it is in the
South In America it must tend to
foster obscure preparations for civil
war and rebellion. If statesmen and
citizens face in the contrary direction
I do not say that they will attain i'm.
mediately civil peace. but l am conf
dent that they will be travelling the
only road toward it.
II do not suggest that race does not
greatly affect facilities foF combina-
ton between humans in healthy
national life, but race difference is
only one of many schismatic agencies.
The solution Of the difficulty involves
discipline for the white man as we'll
as the black"

learned from official sources today,
She will now insist that the United
States formally recognize the equality
of her citizens with those of any other
nation. Such recognition would take
the form Of an official declaration,
similar to the, one proposed at the
Versailles conference and withdrawn
by Japan.
On that occasion two great Japa-
nese demands we're before the confer
ence. Japan insisted first upon a
statement recognizing the equality of
her race; second, that Shantung with
it's vast resources in minerals, it's
great German developments and it's
100000 of people be given to her.
The council compromised by giving
|Shantung. Now she demands that the
United States alone give her the far
more desirable concession which the
council Of nations, acting upon a. plea
from Australia, expressly denied.
1t is recognized both by Japan and
the United States, it was pointed out
in official circles today, that nothing
whatsoever can be done to prevent
the citizens of California from enact
ing the proposed land expulsion act
Such an act, Japan maintains, is an
unjust discrimination aimed at her
alone.
The final issue will come, it was
pointed out today, with the first act
under the California law. Formal de-
mand of satisfaction will then be
made.
The Japanese question ought to be
of intense interest to the colored
people Of the United States who are
oppressed by the United States gov
eminent under the laws as now inter-
preted by the ruling Democrats, by
the Democratic state governments in
the murder belt of the South and by
general vicious public opinion.
TO the colored men who are fighting
for absolute racial equality of all
American citizens, the action Of Japan
in demanding racial equality in for
eign land ought to be an inspiration.

COLOR PREJUDICE MOST BRUTAL
IZING.

Caucasians, the world over, set
themselves up as the cream of Gods
creatures. Arrogate to themselves
the inherent possession Of all the
virtues that make man the modest
work Of Cod" Yet, when dealing with
the other seven-eighths of the worlds
peoples, which God, in his divine wis
dom, decreed to not make WHITE,
they seem to allow their color preju-
dice to outweigh all human and en-
nobling attributes and they become
veritable brutes. And, nowhere is
this more emphasized than in the
United States, "The Land of the Free
and the Home of the Brave" Here,
if one is not an undisputed Caucasian,
he has no more show, in ninety-nine
cases out of hundred, for the faint
est semblance of justice being given,
than, as the saying goes, "a cat has in
hell without claws"
The above statements are based on
facts published daily of the horrible,
inhuman lynchings of colored people.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People has
reported a verified total of so lynch
1ngs OF colored people this year, one
OF them for jumping a labor contract,
three for assault on a white man, one
for connection with moonshine still
and at least six for attempting to vote
In one of the latest Of these cases a
special term of court had been CON
vened to try the case. Unsuccessful
appeals were made by the judge and
the husband of the woman to permit
the court to proceed in an orderly
manner. But despite these efforts the
accused was taken from the court
room, rope placed about his neck
and was fastened to an automobile
and he was dragged to a tree, where
his lifeless body was swung to a liml
of a tree and riddled with bullets. I
this was not the action of brutes, wha
was it?

Now that the presidential election
is happily over, the politicians are
busy selecting a cabinet for the
President-elect. This will doubtless
prove to be really harder job than
this election was, as there are so
many Barkises. Then, too, the en-
forced absence from the pie counter,
for the past eight years, has made
a lot Of hungry office seekers, who
will have to be reckoned with. How
ever, it will not be very hard to i'm
prove on several of the present en-
cumbents Of Wilson's cabinet.
