"Prod up Pedro to git some hot

said Sandy.
He pressed the dog on its side. in
the shade, and went into the house.
Mormon followed him. Grit watched
them disappear, gave little whine
of impatience, accepted the situation
philosophically as he listened to
sounds from the corral that told him
Of horses being caught, and dropped
his head on the dirt, lying relaxed,
eyes closed. gaining strength against

out bearing a pan of food, package

He coaxed the collie to eat the food

Quested.
Mormon did 1t without comment.
The two blued Colts were as much a
part Of Sandy's working outfit as his

with them. Sandy offered the pan of
water to Grit, who drank In business
like fashion, assured Of the success
Of his mission. He stood up sQuarely
on his legs, eased by the plastering.
They were only tired now.
AS Sandy and Sam mounted, tho
latter leading the gray mare, Grit ran
ahead Of them and came back to make
certain they were following. Then he
headed for the spot In tne mesquite

opening of q narrow trail. The horses

The two men followed the dog
across the fats, through mesquite,
through chaparral to barren slopes set
with strange twisted shapes Of cac'
tus. When 1t became apparent that
Sandy's hazard had hit the mark. as
they entered the defile that made
entrance for Pyramid pass. the only
path across the Cumbre range to the
Bad lands beyond, Sandy reined In.
coaxed up Grit, resentful, almost sus-
picious Of any halt, lifting the collie
to the saddle in front of him. Grit
protested and the pinto plunged, but
Sandy's persistence, the sOothe Of his

last to accommodate itself as best 1t
could, helped by Sandy's one arm.

"You said It." Sandy relapsed into
silence.
At the far end of the pass the dog
struggled to get down.
'I'll let him give US q lead" said
Sandy, "soon as we hit the lava. We
can foller his trail that fur. Sit tight,
son." Grit whined but subsided under
the restraining hands.
Sandy took the lead, bending from
the saddle. reading the trail that Grit's
paws had left in the alkali and sand.

wide reef of lava. Sandy set down
the collie. Grit ran fast across the
pitted surface, ahead Of the horses,
waiting for them to cross the lava.
They had hard work to get him to
come to- hand again, but he gave in at
last to the knowledge that they would

The two riders went silently on at
a steady walking gait.

foot that clawed at his chaps and ex-

quick, bleeding. "Come out of the

the range. Through Pyramid pass,

Sandy rolled the dog on his side and
found the other pads in the same con-
dition. Running his fingers beneath

FILTHY RAGS

1t i time for the brothers IN the
profession to do some housekeeping.
Again and again our richest ana
most powerful papers have been &C
cussed (and rightfully so) OF playing
I'd crime, charging upon trivialiues'
and featuring sensational news to the
segregation, if not exclusion q
healthy, Wholesome news OF progress
and achievement.
1t is hard and not exactly fair to
condemn this type Of journalism when
# IS remembered that this is the only
news that has thus far made money
for colored publishers. But there IS
a place at which a line can be drawn,
at which a line must be drawn, un-
less the editors of our race papers
intend to forsake every objective eN-
cept that of money.
The line must be drawn on sex hltn.
Weeklies in nearly all the large
cities have at one time or another
sunk to retailing the most sickening
sex drivel in unnecessary detail. In
Chicago. Pittsburgh and Baltimore
papers it seem to be regular tea
ture; but never have these journals
reached the heights-or more aptly
sunk to the depths OF their con
temporary in East Tennesse.
No more revolving rot was ever set
down in print than that plastered
across this weekly under 96-point
Gothic headlines and run down the
page in double column. 1t was this
same editor who now runs the de-
tailed story OF an attack on a young
girl. who some months ago described
in detail in just what house, in just
whose arms. etc, etc, certain color
ed policeman was found when he
should have been on duty. The two
sheets containing these stories are
warrant enough for ostracizing this
so-called journalist.
The man who has charge OF as
potent a force as a newspaper and
has as little conception of his duty
to society as to print rags reeking
with filth is as dangerous as a GRIM
inal and as much to be feared and
guarded against as any other social
outcast. He disturbs childhood with
his dirty, bewildering pictures of life;
he twists plastic adolescence with his
lurid vicious sketches; he lowers the
moral tone and degrades the public
taste Of the adult world BY pandering
to morbidity in vending lascivious
stories.
Such a man and his sheet have no
place in Negro journalism, or any
other journalism. and the quicker they
are forced out the better off the race
and society will be-The Appeal, St.
Paul MINI.
To the Above we say Amen! Amen!
and if it is not asking too much we
would be highly elated if the editor
of the greatest weekly newspaper in
the world, would please stand up and
lead us in prayer.-Editor.
