IN MEMORY.

In sad bit loving memory of my
dear mother, Annie Cousins who died
eight years ago October 10, 1912.
Just eight years ago to day you left
mo, =.
How l miss your loving face,
But you left mo to remember;
None on earth can take your place.
Some may thing IN soon forget you,
And my wounded heart be healed,
But little they know my sorrow
which Is within my heart concealed.
Dear is the grave, IN which she Is
laid.
Sweet is the memory which never
will fade;
Heart of my life is buried deep,
Under the sod where she peacefully
BBy her daughter.

More Than 500 Members Will Be in
Line, Is Claim Of Klansmen.

November IL, "Armistice Day."
has been selected by the Knights of
the ku KluX Khan Of Richmond as
tho date on which grand parade
will he hold through the city to Gis
play the strength Of the organization
to the public. The parade will be
made in full costume and the mem
bcrs OF the Khan will ride in automo
biics.
More than 500 Klansmen are OK
pCctcd to he in line. 1t is not reveal
eli where the parade will start or
where it will end, the only informal
ion Obtainablc being Ihat it will
pass along Broad street some time
after dark, coming apparently from
out of the city and vanishing in tho
opposite direction.
Will this statement tend 10 induce
the better class of colorcd people TO
remain in this vicinity or will il in
duce them 10 accept the suggestions
OF their friends, who now reside in n
northern cline and who are writing
to them to sell out and come to Il sec
ton of the country where safety is
guaranteed and where money is
equally az plentiful? We desire to
state that while one class of our
white citizens is underwriting ia
hul'd up this community another class
Is working arduously to tear 1t down.
lhc purpose Of this comment is 10
warn the white business men of this
community in general and our white
friends in particular that something
must be done at once 10 curb these
elements, who are about 70 establish,
reign OF terror in this State and
city. or course there are other color
ca people here who will remain and
II the worst comes 10 the worst will
lake their chances with these law
less parties. They have little fear OF
dca'h and will cooperate with tho
better class OF white people in eljmi
mating this browning evil.
Still, there is food for .houpbtn
FOR all classes and a movement should
o. launched by which the better
class OF white people and the better
class OF colorcd people should get to
Hether. \ conference would be timc

yellow streak was shown in three of
our professors in our public schools
last week The Rev William A.
Sunday Is conducting an evangelistfc
meeting in our city and as usual he
set aside a Jim Crow day last Thurs
day afternoon. The intelligent col
ored people resented the insult, but
rs usual we always have had some
white folks Negroes and these hap
pened to be some Of our professors.
They went down to be jim Crowed
and urged and compelled all of the
teachers to follow and the most dis
graceful thing Of it all was they tried
to make all the children follow them.
We are hard pressed for men and
women to lmpart to our children the
right instruction as wo see it IN these

'nhe Department Of Labor and 9th
CT prominent white Virginians have
been doing all i'm their power to keep
colos7cd people in this State and fire.
queut conferences have been held to
Improve conditions in order to make
those who still remain here content
ca and happy. Along this line many
improvements have been promised
and an attempt to provide suitable
homes for these same people attract
cl favorable attention. When the Sc
gregation laws were in effect, much
talk was INDUCED in relative to the
purchase Of park for colored people.
Several proposed sites were offered
and tho Committee in favor of tho
suggestion recommended u site. This
was about as faa as the matter ever
got and tho proposition fell Into
inoceuous desuetudc." There is not
one first class street In the thickly
settled part OF the city where colored
'o,ks live. The only prospect for any
street ;mrrny,m, hts come from the
opening of Chamberlain Avenue for
the benefit Of the white folks in Gin
ter Park and in order To do this many
colorcd people were disposscssed of
their homes. The compensation allow

Segregation on the strcct.cars caus
cs much friction. The opinion is that
ii causes as much friction as existed
before ho ordinances were passed
Owing to tho admirable manner in
which the situation is handled by the
present street ear company, much OF
the complain, that previously existed
is now avoided. We are confronted
by ono set Of white folks, who wish us
We'll and who are doing all in their
power for our hottermcnt and an i'm
provcmcnt OF our condition and by
another class OF white folks, who have
an nntipathy C our welfare and our
progress.
ONO set proposes and the other
class diSposcs. We are unable to sec
amy prospect of any OF the plans func
tioning under the present arrange
meRts. In the meantime, flaring circu
lars are being distributed on the
streets of the city, telling about high
wages IN northern cities, but saying
absolutely nothing about the high ex
pchses in these same places Of abode

RESPECTS TO T.. ID TITTMiN

Socialists and radical laboritcs clos
ell their convention ut Albuquerque
last week by naming II state ticket that
doesn't make II ripple In the conserva-
tive politics of New Mexico Civilian
ton Is 800 years old In IN Land OF
Montezuma. II was introduced by eX-
plorers soldiers. priests, men who
sought the unbrOken trail In desert
whose GASES were guarded by savage
Indians They founded cities and prov
lnccs and delighted In the wide do
main they had conquered and In the
little gardens where their children play
ed That Is why the native people Of
New Mexico are independent and fear
less In their simple livcs-conserva-
tive. as individualists always are. II
the radicals can break through this
barrier. and win votes, they may have
something to claim for their system.
The Graphic knows personally but
one Of the radical candidates. Il. ID.
Tittmn Of IIillSborO. candidate for at
torney general Mr.. Tittman, during the
early part Of the war, was one OF the
Kaiser's most industrious tools In this
section. He loved the Kaiser, the i'm
perial system. the glories Of the Ger
man military power, and day and night
he worked for the advancement of Hun
propaganda In New Mexico. Mr.. Tit
man will hardly deny that he deluged
the Graphic office with propaganda.
The wonder is: How can rational be
ing stand for the Junkcr system OF
caste in Germany. and still be good
socialist. But there is no accounting
for such. They are simply breeders OF
discomfort, willing to substitute any
thing for the present system.
