FAITH PLUS WORK

Last week the st. Paul Baptist
church in celebrating it's first ami
versary revealed that in the one year
$4,000 worth of property had been
bought and all except $1,000 had been
paid for.
This feat deserves more than pass
ing mention because it demonstrates
concretely that faith plus work will
bring results.
The congregation of this church
did not pray alone; it did not sing
alone; it prayed and sang and
worked. The pastor did not only ex-
hort his flock to labor and sacrifice
and give to the cause; he put on old
clothes, took up a shovel and worked
with the people.
Such unity of action, such willing
ness to work and sacrifice could not
but have produced results. The past
or and the members of the congre-
gation are to be heartily congratu-
lated upon their success thus far.
They are further to be thanked for
showing that faith without works is
dead, but that faith plus work may
do great things for the Church.

LABRADoR's PRICE $50, 10000
Newfoundland Wants to Get Rid OF

!. Ottawa, Ont.-Tbe bleak territory
of Labrador, long q no mans land be-
tween the Dominion Of Canada and the
island colony of Newfoundland. will
become Canadian soil II Newfoundland
receives her price. Negotiations were
reopened recently. Representatives OF
Canada and Newfoundland are pusily
engaged searching the archives and
studying old maps, preparing to argue
the ownership of Labrador before the
privy council in London.
The latest proposal is that Canads
assume the Newfoundland national
debt of $50,OOO,O0O and take title +"
Labrador. This suggestion it Was
understood, was put forward by Sir
Patrick Magrath, representing the is
land colony. Canadian representa-
tives, while expressing willingness to
pay cash for the territory, set it's
value at $10,OOO,0O0.
For fifteen years negotiations have
been going on between the Canadian
and Newfoundland governments to set
tie the Labrador boundary difficulty.
Newfoundland, maintaining Jurisdiction
over the Labrador coast, has contended
that its zone Of influence runs well in
to the interior, taking up large area
that the maps allot to the province Of
Quebec. The Canadian authorities
concede to Newfoundland only mar
row strip Of the Labrador littoral,
which is necessary to the fisheries in
dustry of the island, colony.

It is not strange that Robert R.

enthusiastic, because it enhances his
prestige among the enemies of the
colored people in the United States.
His statement that the hospital "is
the greatest achievement of our gov
eminent for the colored race in
America since the emancipation" is
a joke. 1t shows that he has not
read history; that he has no concep-
ton of democracy; that he is man

SEEING BOTH SIDES OF IT

Before huge Indianapolis audi
ence last week, Mr.. B. F. Ransom,
manager of Nine. Walker Co., spoke
upon the subject, whats Wrong
With the Colored Mani"
Mr.. Ransom spoke frankly and
straight to the point and did not hes
itate to excoriate the colored man
for his shortcomings. "Too long
have we been content to he cajoled
into believing that all the trouble is
with some other group who is OPP
pressing us; too long have we been
told that we have made wonderful
progress and then been content to
spend our days exulting over this
progress when the future is slipping
farther and farther away from US.
The time has come when the colored
man must take an inventory; must
check up his assets and liabilities
and start to correcting his own ma
tive faults before he can expect rec
ognition at the hands of other domi-
nant groups" Mr.. Ransom pointed
out that the colored man is insincere
and inconsistent" and depicted the
faults of the group, classifying them
under the heads Of political, educa-
tional. economic and religious faults.
And it might well be added to the
remarks of Mr.. Ransom that when
the colored man awakes fully to a

AS MEN, NOT KLANSMEN
(St, Paul Dispatch.)


The news story correctly charac-
terizes the charge of Judge Odom to
the grand jury dealing with the
Bastrop outrages pinned upon the
Ku Klux Klan. It was a very dis
tinct pronouncenent of government
under law. The law deals with in
dividuals, who cannot sink their in
dividuality in groups or bands and
transfer their responsibility. It is
not the masked organization that is
at the bar of justice, but the indi-
vidual members who have violated
the law. Civilized government is
doomed, as the court said, when men
can organize, take the law into their
own hands and escape condemnation
and punishment. -
But this correct conception does
not lessen the difficulties surround
ing the Yindication of Justice in the
La Fourche. district. Of the twenty
citizens impaneled as a grand jury,
six are conceded to belong to the
Khan and it remains to be seen how
far they will heed the admonition of
the court and find indictments with
out regard to affiliation.: This diff
Guilty will increase in the trials to
follow indictments if true bills are
returned. One klansman on the jury
might mean the miscarriage of JUS
tice and in a locality where the hood
ed organization is so strong numer-
ically it will be remarkable if the
state shall succeed in getting jury
absolutely free of the organization
influence. s..-
The Louisiana state government
seems thoroughly in earnest and
without doubt is in possession of
abundant evidence to fasten respon-
sibility for the outrages upon the
guilty individuals. That situation in
spires the hope that justice will tri-
umph. Upon Bastrop as upon Ma
rion, Ill.,, where the Herrin massacre
trials are in progress, lovers of lib
erty and safety under law are rivet-
ing their attention, hoping for the
vindication of justice upon which civ
ilized society is founded.
