called to Junction City and has
accepted. He will not return to
Clay City regularly. The situa'

regular preaching they must
have a house. They cannot de-
pend upon getting the Uuion

STILL THE OLD SOUTH.

The thirty-second annual reunion Of
the United Confederate Veterans
which met in Richmond, Va, adopted
report submitted by the historical
committee declaring the Civil War
was deliberately and personally con-
ceived' by Abraham Lincoln, and
that he was personally responsible
for forcing the war upon the South"
The assertion was made in connec-
tion with a recommendation that
Southern schools use history Of the
war period written. by Col. Huger w.
Jackson of Curryville, Ca, which,
the committee said, "proved the truth
Of it's declaration regarding Lincoln's
responsibility in the war;" '...
Asserting that the states of Mis-
sissippi, Texas, the Carolinas and
Louisiana were now using histories
"fair to the South" the report de-
clared that 'the young children of
the South will now be taught that the
South was right, eternally and ever
lastingly right, in fighting for prin-
ciples upon which our glorious coun-
try was founded"

WILL PROBE JEW BAN,

The American Federation of Labor
convention adopted a resolution
favoring ar investigation "of the
alleged discriminatory action which
is said to be contemplated by Har-
ward college" to bar admission of
Jews as students. -
The resolution declared the fedora
tion's disaproval of "any departure
from true liberal tradition" and con-
demned as "un-American any policy
which may deny to any racial or re-
ligious groups equal opportunities for
education.' ~.
The resolution specified the fedora
tion should cause the investigation to
be made and that the officers, if they
found that ban were to be placed
on the Hebrews, should take "such
action as they deem feasible to re-
move the discrimination contemplated
and to assure equal opportunities to
all, regardless of race and religious
affiliation." .,...
It will be noticed that the resolu-
tion declares as un-American any dis
elimination against any racial group.
It is we'll.

1T MUST NOT BE

The proposition to establish a play
ground for COLORED children in St.
Paul is un-American and THE. AP-
PEAL is opposed to it. ~.-
One Of the strange phases of jim
crowism in these days in the fact that
nine-tenths Of the plans to degrade
the colored people into a pariah class
are conceived in the brains of people
who call themselves Christians. In
the majority of cases when the col
ored man is kicked down it is done
"for his benefit" and "in the name of
The Lord" =.
No doubt some of the promoters
believe that they are doing a great
thing for the colored people of Saint
Paul but they are mistaken. .. =
No greater evil could come to Saint
Paul, to the white people as well as
the colored people, than the attempt
to segregate one group of citizens.
1t is a thing which will serve to in
tiame the fires of race prejudice
1t is inconceivable that any col
ored people could so belittle- them
selves as to be parties to so infam
GUS a scheme and it is Infamous
whether it is SO intended or not. We
are glad to know that the superin-
tendent OF Fairgrounds opposes the
plan. II. IL r, NJ: 81
The decent self-respecting people
OF Saint Paul must fight the nefari-
GUS scheme to a finish. If you are a
good American you should oppose it.
1T MUST NOT BE-! ~...::
