cial conclusions as a camouflage

William c. Dunno in explaining
assault" in a previous article l-y
Z. B. Henderson, on the Tulsa af-
fair has proven an example. After
explaining the term assault" as
applied to Tulsa and Washington he
concludes in the last analysis: The
gentleman's hopes for better race
relations can be realized only when
the proper respect is shown the
white people by the negroes"
If Mr.. Dunno has read extensive
ly of all the news gathering agen-
cies. including the Associated Negro
Press, he would be forced to
acknowledge the assault" OF Tulsa

Unless unbiased Investigators
falsify, it was the open brast that
much of the acreage possessed by
negroes had to be conhscsted for
factories.

negroes and proper respect is shown

This is an unfavorable day for
most human activities, according to
astrology. The dominant planets
are all adverse. Uranus. Jupiter
and Saturn are in malefic aspect.
During this sway the mind may
be unsettled and disturbed, and for
that reason a positive thought or
calmness and peace should be kept
uppermost.
Business prospects may appear
unduly hazardous today, and for this
reason routine work should be pur-
sued.
Mental depression should not be
entertained. for Saturn is in a place
conducive to a belief in the futility
of life.
Increase in the number Of sui
cides. long prognosticated by the
seers, is believed to be due to the
sinister power of Saturn. which de-
stroys material possessions, and to
Uranus. when evilly inclined. which
presents to the mind the darkest
prospects

CONFESSIONS OF A HUSBAND.

A number of daily newspapers are
now running a series of syndicated ar
ticles, under the caption. Confessions
of husband"
We have read two or three of these
alleged confessions" mark. We use
the word alleged premeditatedly. and
find that, as confessions, they are sub
lime failures and prearranged frosts.
We were prompted to read these
confessions in order that we might see
if any husband ever really and truly
confessed his sins to Madam Wife.
We confess that we entertained all
along serious doubts as 10 the genuine
ness of the confessions, and after read
ing them we found our doubts well
founded.
Viewed from a fair angle, looked at
dispassionately, we could not bring
ourself to believe that the husband was
more of numbskull than was his wife.
Believing that he was equally as in
telligent as his better half, we could
not reason out the why's and where
fores of his confessing any more than
we could figure wherein the wife's
chances for a continuation Of marital
bliss might be found by the wife who
told hubby every time she looked, with
dropping eyelids and simperingly
drawn lips, in the general direction of
the other woman's husband.
We are a strong believer in the hus-
band and wife taking each into the 9TH
er's confidence-to a degree. But
when that degree passes too far we
believe that tho rule of safety first"
should apply. We do not believe that
mutual confidence should extend to the
husband confessing to having made
bad business deals, especially when he
backed four kings against the other
chaps four aces, or shared a hot bird
and a cold bottle with one queen"
in some quiet and sequestered nook.
Common sense should rule in all
things, and common sense evidently
rules with the author of the syndicat-
ed confessions of a husband"

MAN GETS WHAT HE WANTS.

We have always noticed that man.
kind, taken as a mass, usually gets
that which is wanted the worst.
For months and months the people
of this section have been wanting
warm weather and praying for warm
weather and hoping that the cold
weather would let up
And now that we have that for
which we have longed and hoped and
prayed, we are dissatisfied with it. We
are displeased with the extreme warm
ness of the warmth that we are already
seeking to. modify it, with the use of
electric fans and iced drinks and cold
substitute for glorious lager.
In the winter time, when the ther-
mometer flirts with the freezing mark,
in this section, and plays hide and
seek with the zero line in the north,
man will cuss the gas companies for
not furnishing more gas, and the coal
companies for not sending out coal
with more heat in It, and no sooner
does the sun shine down in brilliancy
and heat than he orders ice by the
ton and sets the whirring fans to re-
volving. - &S%
He can't be pleased The weather is
always a little too hot or little too
cold, little too wet or a little too dry.
In a word, it is like the nigger's mule
and the Frisco and Rock Island rail-
ways-a little too less or little to
nuff. ds

Portland Ore. May 12.-An avalanche
