widespread criticisms of the work of the y NJ. C. A in

soldiers in France.

Memorial Day
Frederick A. Hatch.

.Remember the days of old, consider the
years of many generations, - Jehovah alone
did lead him and there no foreign God with
him - .'He made him ride on the high places OIL
the earth, and he did eat of the increase OIL the
field'' ''But Israel waxed fat, and Kicked
then he forsook God who made him, and lightly
esteemed the Rock of his salvation Deut.,
32.)
The dav of national remembrance, of revlv-
mo the deem impressions from other days, can be
an inspiration; it ought to be. The keener mem
ories of recent events should not blot out the
meaning of those days when the perpetmty OIL
the Union of States was in peril. The strength
of the Republic in these last few years had Its
genesis in the result of the civil war. Just as
Moses demanded that Israel should not forget
that Jehovah had supreme rights IN the people
whom He had nurtured and protected, so must
we remember the same fact.
..Some trust in chariots, and some IN horses;
but we will make mention of the name OF Jehovah
our God 1t is fatal to all wide understanding
of the meaning of other days If we ignore the
part which our God had in the victory. The men
on whose graves will be laid the flowers OF
precious memory now know in the light of the
other side that their contribution to united
republic would have been useless if God had not
been favorable In these days of mate1ahsm 1t
needs be that we return to the child-llke confi-
dence the faith that leans hard on our Father IN
heaven. =
ssWe will triumph in thy victory" was the
exultation of David and it has been ever true
that all triumph of right has been because God
was our deliverance. That is what the proud
men, the selfish men, the lustins or-power men
need to remember this Memorial day. We are
liable to lose the solemnity of gladness when We
leave Him out of consideration, and have no
thought of gratitude in the hours through which
pass.

ONE WORD misunderstood
CAUSED TULSA RACE RIOT

Misinterpretation of word in de-
scribing a row between white girl
and negro boy precipitated the Tul-
sa race riot.
Dick Rowland, a negro bootblack,
stepped into a store elevator and on
the foot of white girl operator She
slapped the negro and he retaGated by
grasping her arm and throat She
screamed, and a floor walker seized
the negro; who was later turned over
to the police.
The girl fled charge OF assault
and battery, and the negro was deliv-
cred to the county authorities.
An afternoon paper in reporting
the incident used the word assault
but gave sufficient inform ation to con-
fine the term to a mere alteration.
The public got the meaning that a
statutory crime had been attempted
which was untrue.
But assault in connection with a
white girl and a young negro was
ing that was existent between the
semi-idle young men of both races in
Tulsa.
Rumors, street corner mutterings
and crowds, all of which either local
/ police county law officers could
have dispersed, intensified the hatred
and a riot began that even today has
not been estimated in carnage OF
property loss.

NEWS AND COMMENT

The Hays Free Free came across
with the suggestion that the Fourth
of July celebration be in Hays and
that the program be given by the
children which is not bad idea for
any locality.
Some people seem to think the
poem which says "Hats off, the Flag
is Passing By, is all poetry but it
isn't. To show proper respect to the
flag your hat should be taken off
while it is passing.
The announcement is now being
made that the Chinese Relief fund has
been oversubscrihed and there is no
need of sending in any more contri-
buttons at present.
Some young people were finding
amusement in riding horses over a
tresseI railroad bridge near Russell
last week. One of the horses feel be-
tween the ties and could not get out.
The sectinon men tried to help it and
in the excitement the animal broke
one of its legs and it was necessary to
kill it. Rather high priced amuse-
ment.
Tuesday, June 18th was flag day.
On that day in 1777 the congress of
the United States officially adopted

Considerable excitement was caused

a month earlier than the first bale
last year. The previous record for the
first bale was June 10, made in 1916.
The market this coming week will
not open until Tuesday morning, be-
cause of the observance of national
Memorial day, in response tho pro
clamation by President Harding and
the desire to do honor to the memory
of those soldiers who fell in the great
war. The trading of the early ses-

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW

New Orleansfi May 29-BuIlish crop
accounts put the price of cotton to
higher levels this week following
small declines in. the early sessions
which declines seem to have their
main foundation in the unsettled look
of European politics owing to the clash
over Silesia. Later in the week poll
tics ceased to be a factor and from
declines below the close of the proceed
ing week of rs to 81 points the marke t
rose to advances above of 33 to so
points. July traded down to 11SS and
the news up to 1910, finally closing
at 1880. In the net results contracts
gained rs to az points. Spot grained
13 points on middling which closed at
11.8S against 40 cents a year ago.
Much of the buying of the week was
done on the highly unfavorable crop
reports put out by private bureaus
Soon after the middle of the week buy
ing flurries were caused by a report
Of 65.4 per cent as the condition Of
the crop. of 30,5 per cent as the re-
duction in acreage and 100000 bales
as the indicated crop. A little later
another bureau put conditions at 63.l
the reduction in acreage at 81 per cent
and the indicated crop at 100000
bales. This crop figure was first re-
ported at 100000 bales and that was
considered low enough to cause de-
