were great people. They had shown
their independence on occasion and
they would show it again. If the De-
mocrats carry this election, part of
the credit will be due to good Repub-

that is in control. He then showed
how this ring worked by citing the
Hickory postoffice case, in which Re
publican party workers and the rank
and file were for one candidate and
two ore three men put the other across
at the same time making a pretense
of giving them hearing. At the time
the hearing was held the postmaster
was confirmed-and afterwards those
who played this game on the Republi-
cans enjoyed their fine work inn

Americans are overly suspicious and

American missionaries teach us
that all people are equal, so we well

throughout Japan unmolested, buy
property, engage in business, and
give you equal rights with our own

story of a woman in New York whose
husband was something like old Blue
Beard, in that he had closet in his
house, which he kept locked and gave
his wife strict orders to keep out of it.
OF course this made her all the
more anxious to learn what was in
that closet. So when her husband
went away on trip a year ago her
curiosity got the better of her, and
she opened the Closet She found
there group photograph of her hus-
bands family and discovered he was
colored. Ye Gods and little fishes!
this was terrible, so, NOW, she is
seeking an annulment of their mar
riage. What we would like to know
IS why did she wait year after dis.

successful in Republican politics in

THEY ARE FULL OF MooNsHlNE

Of all the fool things that we have
heard of lately, comes from the be-
nighted state of South Carolina,
where one j. Walter Moon, a mem
Der Of the state legislature, has in
troduced a bill in that august body,
which is intended to prohibit the
showing Of pictures in colored motion
picture houses that contain the faces
Of white women. He states that it
is crime to have colored men and
women gazing at faces of white
women on the screen, and so would
make a drastic law compelling coll
ored motion picture houses to show
pictures of colored people only. And,
it seems, that a majority Of the men,
bers of the House are as full Of
"moonshine" as Moon himself, for
they actually took the measure seri-
ously enough as to pass it.. What
the asinine color prejudice of the
average Southerner will not cause
him to do is beyond our ken,

awaits action in the South Carolina
senate. If made into law it will

What would have happened in Geor-

in Georgia last summer even when nc
white woman was involved. A col

turn was shot by a white mob. He
was taken to hospital where he died
shortly after: About midnight the
white mob went to the hospital to
get the wounded colored man and
lynch him. Exasperated at finding
that he was dead, the mob broke into
the dead room, got the corpse, car
ried it to the outskirts of the city and
burned it to crisp. The charged re-
