The Tragedy at Tulsa.

Out Of the confusion prevailing at
Tulsa, Okla, come a few definite facts
that aid in effecting an understanding
Of the great crime that has just been
committed there. It appears that an as
sault upon a white girl by a negro In
famed a numbre Of the white citizens,
who undertook the usual lynching.
They were resisted successfully by the
sheriff and apparently all would have
been well had not some Of the negroes
of the town armed themselves and taken
a position near the jail in a manner
to challenge the whites. This group
was dispersed two or three times. but
wrong-headed leaders reassembled the
armed men, and 1t was then but .
short time before firing began and the
melee was started which led to such
terrible results.
When once the passion Of the mob
was loosed it swept with an tnsensate
fury to the point Of the most shocking
slaughter and destruction. Fires were
started that burned the property Of
whites as well as colored people. The
devastation, however, was chiefly in
the negro quarter. The slaughter was
mainly among the negroes. While
some whites were killed, they were
but a small percentage Of the total
loss Of life.
This is the worst race riot for many
months. It is, indeed, one Of the worst
that has ever occurred in the history
of the country, being equaled possibly
only by that of East st. Louis. in July.
as17, when at least 125 people were
killed. In Chicago riots Of July. 1919.
about 40 were slain. while it is esti-
mated fully half a thousand were
wounded.
The greatest tragedy Of these out
breaks Of venomous, murderous AMI.
mostly is that they leave deep-seated
sense Of bitter wrong on the part OF
the victims. In these riots the suf-
ferers are almost always the inno-
cent non-participants, law-abiding.
harmless persons who are marked for
slaughter merely on the score Of their
color. The mob is a blind as wen as
a cruel creature and strikes indis-
criminately, with no thought Of justice
or of future responsibility. Yet it Is
Of the future that thought should
chiefly be taken. Every one Of these
race encounters is breeder Of later
disorders.
Mob passion has not. solved the race
problem. 1t has only intensified and
aggravated it. Lynchings and whole
sale slaughters such as that at Tulsa,
man -burnings and tortures, cannot
teach the black Americans any whole
some lessons. The lessons are to be
learned by the mobs, and the mob Ii
such an inchoate thing. so volatile, 50
vague of individual form and yet so
terrible in the mass that it cannot be
reached by reason.
Good and wise leadership is neces-
sary among the colored people a. well
as among the white. Resentment and
resistance may be natural, but they
will be dangerous. Had good counsel
prevailed at Tulsa those armed men
would have gone to their homes, re-
gardless Of the fate Of the single man
accused Of crime.

CITY PAYS ON OLD BONDS

cording to w. H. WATSON, city COM
missioner of finance and revenue An
other bond issue of ten years ago does
not mature until 1881 and amounts to
$4,000. Both the old bond issues
bear 4 per cent interest rate.
In a financial statement being pre-
pared by Commissioner WATSON he
shows that s400, 900 has been collected
in old taxes during his administration;
interest on daily bank balances
amounting to 100000; franchise fees
totaling $4,000 collected from the
Topeka Edison company; penalties for
non-payment of taxes, amounting to
S33, licenses, amusement taxes.
ETC., totaling $1,050,OO0; and city taxes
amounting to $3,914,O0O Commits
sioner WATSON went into office in
1915.
A plan to retire city bonds pre-
maturely was outlined by Commits
sioner WATSON. 1t consists chiefly of
the using of surplus arising under the
sinking fund plan in various depart
ments. Under the law certain bonds
are retired by a sinking fund. Often
more than is necessary is accumula ted
in the sinking funds. In such a way

MACHINISTS IN PROTEST
Local Union No. 1870 Pass Rescue
lions on Irish Question.


Fired with enmity against Great
Britain, on two counts, one the at
tempt of that country to ''enslaye" the
Irish, and the other the reputed desire
of the British to dodge their debt of
five billion dollars owed to the United
States, Local Union No. 1910, of the
International Association of Machin-
lists, has passed a most striking set of
resolutions on the subject, as follows:
Topeka, Kan, Feb p, 1921
To the Secretary of State, U. S. A, and to
the Senators and Congressman Of Kansas,
in the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of U. S. A.
Whereas. Americas avowed purpose in
entering the World War was to nberate
the small nations of the world, and,
Whereas, Great Britain and our other
allies gave tacit consent to this program,
and,
Whereas Ireland the largest and most
capable Of self government of any of the So
called small nations is now over-run by
soldiers of the British empire whose object
IS to force upon them u government which
has been rejected by. the votes of over 50
per cent of the Irish people, and,
Whereas, England owes this government
$4,000, 00G 000r five billion dollars and has
failed to pay the annual interest, and is
now fostering propaganda TO equalize the
debt of all the allied countries Incurred in
the World War, and,
Whereas, Great Britain thru this war has
gained many thousands of miles of add
tional territory, therefore, be it resolved by
Local No. 1910 of the International AS
ISOLATION of Machinists in regular session,
that we respectfully petition our govern
ment to do all in her power to persuade
England to grant freedom to Ireland and
be 1t further resolved, that we will consider
any individual newspaper, magazine, as
Gates the equalization of the World War
debt as an enemy of our government.

NO DREAM DEATH-CLARK
County Coroner Does Not Accept
Robert I'll. Page Theory

DIR. H. L. Clark, coroner, takes no
stock in the theory advanced by Robert
H. Page in Saturdays State Journal
that kathleen Foleys death was due
to psychic or psychological cause.
There are enough confusing factors
in the Foley case, without having any
misleading statements made about it,
said Doctor Clark. Mr.. Page bases
his case on the mistaken theory that
the autopsy has shown that there was
no poison present. Such is not the
case. The only announcement made
so far was that no strychnine was;
found in the stomach contents. Strych-
nine may yet be found in some of the
other organs, which are now being
analysed. Or if strychnine is not
found, I am confident that some other
poison will be. :.
Another thing I am sure Of is that
it wasn't any dream that killed kath-
leen Foley. If she had been asleep,
she walked up, ran home and was wide
enough awake to hunt up her physi-
