We have noted with interest tho
attempt Of our leaders to forcus the
attention Of the members Of the Dis.

in this country as they relate to our
people. We have. concluded that this
has been done more for advertising
purposes and in order to embarrass

course OF action. Certain 1t Is, no such

1t must be admitted that it has he
come necessary to use every means
at our command TO focus attention
upon the prejudicial conditions, which
now exist and which the leading states
mon Of the nation have condoned. In
this Babel OF voices, there may be some
thing said, which may benefit our
people and serve to attract attention
to conditions which in some parts OF
this country arc becoming well-nigl
Unbearable.
