TIE SOUL OF A C0.oPERATOR

Brightly the selfish and narrow see
The Great White Way that is closed 10
Their fingers point in scofnful shame
AS they link strange tales unto my
But their feet sink deep in fearful slime,
And their dreadful tread IS the creek Of crime.
The rainbow becks and they struggle on.
Tho always the prism ahead has gone;
OF its reek and filth they cannot be told
When their eyes are bright with the lust for gold
The little path where my feet must press
Has none of the glamor Of selfshness
Quiet serene-no ranboMs here
But wholesome life seems always
Rich is the soul that sees the way
Wealth abundant, yet all is free,
And the Law of Love asks delay
In serving this treasure To you and me.
The Avenue calls with its glitter and glare
And mutitudes struggle for prizes there's
So little they reck Of the sordid vice.
Net the baubes appraise as they pay the price.
Our little street with its priceless urge
But poorly competes where the mad crowds surge;
That riot or rutheness, sefishness, hate
Premiums place on each nhunan trait.
Fiercely they struggle in sickenng
Blind and deaf to our heartening truths;
For the ranbcw curves. and its CLINT Of gold
Il usiNe res sures TO hold

Follow the narrow road that's true.

GIN SPANISH MOSS IN SOUTH
terial for Upholstery, Mattresses
and Other Purposes.

Brazoria, Tex.-One of rapidly grow
ing industries of Texas and Louisiana
is gathering Spanish gray moss and
commercializing the product. The
moss is put through ginning process
by which the fiber is extracted. It is
then used for upholstering, mattresses
and other purposes. There are num-
Der of these moss factories scattered
through southeastern Texas and east
ern Louisiana. One of the largest of
these is at Brazoria.
In Louisiana there are probably half
a dozen large moss factories with an
investment each of close to 100000,
while there are a score or more
smaller plants located through the gulf
coast of Louisiana and Texas, each
with $4,000 to $4,000 invested.
The moss is a parasite that has
caused the destruction of many mil
lions Of dollars worth Of trees. It
often hangs in thick strands several
feet long. Running through the moss
is fine, strong and dark fiber which
has become commercially known as
vegetable hair. 1t is this fiber that is
now in great demand for upholstering.
For upwards Of hundred years the
people of Louisiana and Texas have
home-cured this growth and made ex-
ceptionally comfortable mattresses
from It.

LONDON CHINATOWN DOOMED
Oriental Population Drops From
1900 to 700 in Four Years, Says
London Paper.

London.-London's Chinatown Is fast
disappearing. Four years ago 1900
Chinese seamen were living within a
stones throw of the West India dock
gates. Now it is doubtful whether
there are 700, says the Daily News.
During the war London's China
town had It's most prosperous days,
for quite number of British ships
were manned by Chinese crews. But
when the war ended the edict went
forth British crews for British Ships"
and as the Cinnamon were paid off
they either went back to China or to
some other country where their labor
was In demand. Chinese traders in
Chinatown began to suffer and one
after another had to put up their
shutters.
Then suddenly there came boom. A.
beautiful actress died while attend
ing an opium-smoking party. Stories
were printed about the thrills to be
experienced in Chinese opium dens,
and public attention was focused on
the sinister alleys and byways of
Chinatown, but gradually the novelty
wore of.

REPUBLICAN CON !
TONS URGE
PASSAGE OF anti
LYNCH|NC BILL.
MASSACHUSETTS STATE
DEMoCATIC CONVENTION
TAKES SIMILAR ACTION

Strong resolutions endorsing the
Dyer Anti ynching bill and specifi-
cally demanding that the United
States Senate pass the measure have
been recently passed by the State Re-
publican conventions of Massachu-
sets, California and New York, and
by the Massachusetts State Demo-
cratic convention, according to an an
nouncement made by the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People. The action of these
states has Increased the number of
State Republican conventions that
have taken similar action to eight.
The other five are Indiana, Colorado,
Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri. !
The resolution passed bv the Mass
achusetts State Republican conven-
ton through the efforts of Butler R.
Wilson Of Boston, not only mentions
the Dyer bill specifically and urges
its passage as speedily as. possible,
but scores bitterly race prejudice and
especially disfranchisenert. It de-
mands that all the rights guaranteed
by the Constitution, be secured to the
colored people and further declares
that the Republican party in Massa-
chusetts favors legislation that "* X
the laws of the commonwealth, in
Guiding the civil SERVICE" be admins
tered $50 that public employment may
be open to all citizens impartially."
The Massachusetts Democratic
State conventions resolution =. was
strongly worded also, demanding that
"both legislation and executive action
put stop at once and for all to the
disgrace Of lynch-law. The consti-
tutional guarantee of life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness is a heritage
that should be safeguarded, if neces-
sary with Federal legislation" d"
Mr.. Wilson, who wrote the plank
in the Republican resolution, is Sec
rotary of the Boston branch of the
N. A. A. C. P. and a member of the
national board of directors of the as
ISOLATION.
The action of the California Repub-
lican State convention was secured
through the work of E. Burton Ceruti
of Los Angeles, who is also men,
Der of the national board of directors
Of the N. A. A. c.. P, and attorney
for the Northern California branch Of
the association. According to a let
ter from Mr.. Ceruti, the endorsement
was included in the platform of the
party. The resolution unequivocally
demanded that the Republican major
ity in the Senate pass the Dyer Bill.

State Republican convention endors-
ing the Anti-lynching bill were in
cluded in the platform adopted at AL
bany on September %, and reads:
1--WE urge the Senate to pass at the
earliest possible date the Anti-lynch-
ing Bill adopted by the House of

cific demand on the Senate made by
the New York State convention.

THE WELCOME HALL Play
GROUNDS

Many months ago, at it's inception,
Editor Adams spoke in no uncertain
scathing terms of a separate play
grounds for colored children at West
ern avenue and Rondo street. Five
hundred leading colored citizens in
mass meeting assembled said there
was no need for such an institution.
Some of the best intentioned white
people in the world followed other
advice and invested several thousand
dollars to prove the case. A short
time after the grounds were opened
the original sign was amended to
read Everybody invited" and the
case was proven. Pass there any
time and take census, the result will
be about 20 white to l colored all
playing together agreeably. There
are not enough colored to use more
than small portion Of the equip
ment. There is no disagreement
among the races.
A playground without supervision
is nuisance. It is just the old gang
or gangs. It will cost at least 5000
a month to properly supervise and
care for the grounds. It will cost at
least $4,000 to properly equip the
site. Whether we wish to call it such
or not Welcome Hall is a sectarian
institution, owned by the Presbytery
of ST.. Paul. The city cannot super
wise a sectarian institution. Some
one offers the suggestion that the
needs of the neighborhood the ex-
pansion of the church and the extern
sion of the kingdom can all be best
cared for by the benefactors deciding
the site to the city for Fairgrounds
purposes and using the $4,000 cash
and 5000 per. monthly salary to do
social service through Welcome Hall.
Better still; the board Of directors
of Welcome Hall is composed Of per-
sons who are closely identified with a
half dozen Of St. Paul's largest en-
ployers. In all kindness, if. those
brilliant minds were utilized to find
just q little more than a mental job
in their institutions our people would
be greatly benefited. III.

Sd1nt fdu1, M1nn., Uec. Z, 1918.
To the President,
White House,
Washington, D. c..
Sir: ~.
Now that the world war is over and
military autocracy has been doomed,
I appeal to you as the representative
OF the United States at the Peace
Table, to demand the abolition of that
greater menace to the peace of the
world, THE AUTOCRACY OF COLOR.
Through the centuries the colored
races Of the globe have been subjected
to the most unjust and inhuman treat
ment by the so-called white peoples.
Every atrocity which the Huns have
inflicted on the helpless white peoples
Of the world during the four years of
war now ending, has been suffered by
the colored peoples Of the world for
more than four hundred years.
\, In the recent war the colored races
have furnished as many men as the
white races have supplied, If the labor
and fighting units are both counted,
and now that victory has been won,
1t Is but just that the color line which
has hampered the progress Of the col
ored peoples, should be abolished at
once. Not only that, but the OPP
pressed of the white race should be
delivered from oppression.
Mr.. President, shall endeavor to
outline q program which should meet
the approval of every believer in world
democracy:
1. Home rule for Ireland.
2. Home rule for India.
8. Home rule for all colonies which
desire 1t.
/. Standardization for the people
of all countries. in which the people
are practically all of one race or ma
tionality and yet dominated and op-
pressed BY few Of a different race or
nationality.
S. The former German colonies to
become republics under the protection

pie are as capable Of selfgovernment
