JUSTICE FOR WAR VICTIMS
Springfield Republican.


Gen. Pershing stated the case
when he said at the meeting in New
York Monday night for 'justice for
the Wounded,' TNo government is
worthy Of its name that fails in SYM
pathy and care for the men made
helpless in fighting its battles" 1t
was a solemn indictment that he
brought against the agencies which
have teen and are responsible for the
continuing neglect. Chief of these
agencies is congress iself. The Nresolu
tons passed at the meeting calling
upon congress to adopt adequate
measures at the earliest possible
date expressed. without doubt The
sentiment of the vast ma 9jority of the
American people.
The speakers did not deal in gen
cralitics. They gave chapter aud
verse concerning the failure, by red
tape, ty callousness. by inefficiencv
and by faulty organization, to provide
for the needs of the sick and wound
ed veterans. According to Col. Gal
braith of the American legion. there
is reason to believe that 10000 men
are now out Of hospitals who should
be in them. He also said that many
of the disabled veterans have been
placed by the government in poor
houses, where $3.50 a day is paid for
the same care %lhich non-serWice men
get for cents day. Lack Of a
head to coordinate the work Of car
ing for the veterans seems to be one
chief fault of the present system;
another appears to be the centraliza-
ION bv which long and needless de-
lays are caused. The suggestion thai
branch offices should be conducted

MONTICELLO AND THE SOUTH

Miami (Fla.) Herald.
The crime at Monticello, Ga, was
the supposed work of one man
John Williams-and two Of his negro
dependents, the community itself be-
: ing as free from all knowledge or
connection with the crime as any viii
Iage Nesting among the hills of Mas
sachusetts. The state Of Georgia de-
plores the terrible deed. The law is
acting impartially and swiftly, and
all the country may place implicit
confidence in the Georgia authorities
avenging the wrong done not only to
the II murdered negroes, but also to
the majesty of her laws.
While the alleged wrongful act of
Williams in holding his negro work
ers in practical slavery-worse even
than slavery, for he gave no consid-
Grafton whatever of their welfare
and the horrible deeds of murder of
which he was the supposed instigator
thrill every resident of the south
with indignation, the most deplora-
BILE part about the terrible affair is
cause the balance Of the cuntry to
view the south's treatment Of the
negro.
The writer of this article is a man
of northern birth, but one who has
travelled and lived in all sections of
our great country, and he knows, from
actual experience, that the southerner
is the best friend the negro possesses.
He does not make of him a boon
companion; he does not take hi m in
to his social or political life. nor does
he fill his head with notions which
would only lead to the negro's un-
doing. But he aims. to be just to
him, to aid him to advance him along
industrial lines So that he may live
a useful and happy life. True, there
are here and there-as in the Will
liams case-exceptions to this general
rule but they form in the aggregate
SO small number as only to be the
exception which proves the rule.

our duty as state officers makes it i'm

given" Whether the oil company

Indeed the meeting was called with

seems to he necessary to recall its

TROUBLES OF DELIVERY BOY
Says Goat Ate Paper Which Sub
scriber Complained About

The Press and Banner has had
much trouble recently with delivery
in the city by carrier. Following the
resignation during the football sea-
son of the regular carrier, Snow
ball." small negro boy, engaged
himself for the task of distributing
the Banner about town.
Immediately upon his assumption
Of the circulation Office subscribers
began to report by telephone and by
letter that their paper did not come
when due. "Snowball averred stout
ly in each case that he had delivered
the paper and that everybody who
said they did not get it was mistak-
ZEN: -. :. -. ....... ~.
Finally SNOWFALL became desper-
ate. He began, like the lamb, to
make excuses. One morning Mrs.
Blank telephoned that she hadn't got
ten her paper and why in. heck
couldn't she get it after she had paid
for it and if it couldn't be delivered
please give her money back, ETC., ad
infnitum. "Snowball' was consulted
in the grave crisis. After scratching
his woody head in a musing manner,
he was heard to mutter:
"Mis Blank, Mis- Blank. Dat con-
sarned goat. III git dat goat, sho."
whats that about a goat? We
asked about Mrs. Blanks paper"
"Yassir, boss. Use comm to dat. Jis
a mint. Yassir I done took Miss
Blanks papah, yass;r. seen a goat
in her yaad, sab, an l bet Yanky
dime he ct dat papuh up. Yassir."
On another occasion when the same
question arose in reference to an
other irate readers paper, Snow
ball" swore by all that is yellow that
he "tooken the papah an dem white
folks what live mex doah snooped it
off the steps" Of course Snowfall
probably didn't tell the truth, he be-
ing only in search of an alibi.
Finally matters got so bad that it
became necessary to fire "Snowball'
and if ever a black face ''lit up"
with joy, Snowball's did. He jim
gled his last SALARY" in his pocHctt.
jerked his cap over his woody locks
and hied himself away to an easier
job.
