Clemenceau
Thanks Race
AS Brothers

New York. Dec 22.-Within few
moments of Georges Clemenceau's de-
parture from this country, Capt. Mat
Young Post No. 39S went aboard the
liner Paris and presented II letter to
him in behalf of the members of the
post, reading:
Hon. Georges Clemenceau. Dear
Sir: We represent the 100000 black
men who helped defend France in the
great war. We loaded and unloaded
ships: we built roads and railroads !;
dens; we repaired and guided auto
mobiles: we carried food and .tmmu-
milton TO the front lines; and in the
great decisive battle which broke the
Hindenburg line and drove the Ger
mans, back to Germany, five American
black regiments We're in the front
trenches and 1000 of us were left on
the field of battle
Our sacrifice was not in vain. We
learned to know France. We learned
TO know land where color preju-
dice was unknown and where even the
appeals of our white American fellow
citizens fell on deaf ears. For this
reason, sir, we welcome you, the fore
most representative of that great
country, and we pledge to you the
sympathy and help of 12,000000 Ne
groes in any future crisis so long as
France of the future lives up to the
ideals of France of the past
In response NJ. Clemenceau said:
Thank you sincerely for your kind
wishes. We esteem highly the splen-
did work (not us colored men, but as
Americans) you performed with the
Poilus of France, your brothers in
arms"

in protecting the accused colored man.
Below we are reproducing dispatch,

White Southern Edi-
tor Calls Ku Klux
Insult to the White
Race"

The Ku KluX Klan is being repudi-
ated in the South, according to eX-
tracts from an editorial of the Green's
boro, North Carolina, Daily News of
December 18th, made public by the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, 10 Fifth ave
nue. New York.
The existence of the Ku KluN is an
insult to the white race" says the edi-
torial. 1T is an admission that we
einnot defend ourselves except by Il
towards weapons.
And when that order breaches the
poisonous doctrine that the Negro is
not entitled to the right of a fair trial
in open court and to the equal protec-
tion of the laws, because he is NOT
100 per cent American, we think OF

themselves with that order, nay, wheh

Coffin Snatchers Are
Busy in Georgia
Cemetery

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. ia grim story
of nocturnal disinterment of bodies
from Il local Negro cemetery, theft of
the caskets which were later resold,
and reburying of the bodies, has been
told by the police by Thurman Jones.
undertaken who admitted he had been
doing it for nearly a year.
Reports of "casket snatching" in
this cemetery have been current for
weeks Friday night officers lay in
wait and watched the "snatchers" at
work.
The Officers declared Jones and Ed.
Ware dug up two bodies, reburied
them minus the coffins, and then
drove away with the caskets.
Jones told police he and ware had
made small fortune. He said Ware
was the leader, and always told him
what grave to open. Ware also is in
Jail, but refuses to talk.
Following publication of the story
cemetery officials were flooded with
requests from relatives of persons
buried in the cemetery seeking disin-
terment permits to see if the casketS
had been stolen.
1T all appeared so easy" Jones
said, "and them dead men didn't know
no better nohow, and besides, the
money came in mighty handy"

The Colorado statesman., 1922-12-30

the six million farmers oil the
United States We're starting
on the long hard climb out of
the valley of economic depression.
They have not yet attained the
heights which are bathed in the CRATE
full sunshine of prosperity. Some, in
deed, have fallen by the way. Others
are still in the valley. Nevertheless,
as we stop n bit and look backward
we can see that very considerable
ground has been gained by the great
majority, and we can enter the New
Year with renewed hope and with that
courage which comes from the reali-
progress.
A year ago, wnen speaking of the
prospects for farming in 1922, / said
that while there was no reason to ex-
pect boom times for the farmer in the
near future, there was promise of bet
ter times, both for the farmer and for
those whose business is largely de-
pendent upon him. The year has
brought fulfillment of that promise.
Speaking generally, times are better,
much better than year ago, both for
agriculture and for industry.
Crops have been good, on the whole.
Prices of the major crops are mostly
considerably higher. While there mas
been corresponding advance in the
prices of the things the farmer must
buy. the total sum which farmers will
receive for the crops of this year is
greater by IL billion and half dollars
or more than that which they received
for the crops of last year. This Will
certainly mean better times on the
farm and farm folks will be able to
ease up little on the grinding
economy they We're forced to practice
the preceding year.
The labor cost of producing the
crops of 1922 was still further reduced
There were some substantial reduc-
tions in freight rates. Much helpful
legislation has been enacted and more
will be this winter. Interest rates are
lower and the credit strain has been
eosed. This has made it possible Tor
many farmers who We're rather heavily
involved to refund their obligations
and get themselves in condition to win
through.
There are still some dark spots. In
some sections weather conditions were
unfavorable and crops were snort anu
farmers in these sections are haNlhS
q very hard time of it. Freight rates
are still too high, especially for those
who must pay for long maui 10 iii"r
ket.
Taxes are high, but this is largely
fue to the increase in local taxes, over
which farmers themselves must eXer-
else control.
There has been gratifying growth IN
farmers cooperative marketing asso-
ciotions. and more of them are Deihs
,,.,,onized on n sound business basis.
Aside from the help which has been
given by legislation and by adinihs-
tration activities, strong economic
forces are at work to restore more
normal relation between agriculture
and other industries.

sion is more keenly realized by other
groups than ever before, and on every
hand IL sincere desire is being evi-
denced to do what can be done safe

reason to expect still better things for
