ana the stupidity of your leaders
that you have but little time to
keep up with what is going on in
the world. Whatever you may think
OF: our white, people, their indiffer-
ence, ETC., try to keep an eye on

War for them means war for you.
As for war, hope that in the next
conflict you will be commanded by
those who fought FOR your free
dom, not. against 1t.
Uncle Sam, eager for friendship
and easy mark for statesmen OF Eu-
rope. begins to think of what it
would mean to him, and to his chill
dren. including the black sheep of
the family. IL half of this continent
should join with Europe to bring
him down a button hole or two. La
tin America, (get down your ge-
ography and call in your high school
children) has become bold enough
to tell Uncle Sam to hold his horses.
These stirring words from Manual
Ugarte, brilliant Argentine thinker,
doubtless gave Mr.. Kellogg, your
secretary OF state, pause as he read
them:
.,,saWhen our diplomats talk
about the Colossus of the
North they confess their own
tragic failure. They themselves

the North by surrendering to
foreign banks and corporations

future greatness. They them

divided into halves by blood,
language, and race, they refus-

2, Rock River Conference. II you
have strength to Withstand a shock,
prepare to use It. The banner con-
ference OF the Methodist Church, the
Rock River. which once flew the
Klan2 flag, cheered Bishop Hughes
last Tuesday when he told his breth-
rem that he was sick of "this Nordic
stuff and then gave Clarence True
Wilson. Methodist dry mouthpiece,
the, righthand of fellowship for an
interview praising Z William Hale
Thompson to the sky.
You; will wish to read the words
of Bishop Hughes. Here they are:
IS, "This boast of the 'Nordic'
race is.pretense. Our ancestors,
the AngIp.Saxons, used to eat
raw meat and smear blood over
their boards until they were
Christianized. IL you are boast
ing of being 100 per cent Amer
ican why not include the Nc.
groes, for not ono of them ever
went back on this country" 'A
Now you CAN, say that the Klan
is losing ground. Two years ago
that speech would have broken up
the Rock River conference. $3.50.
Somebody ought to tell the Bish-
on, maybe Bishop r. E. Jones or I.
Garland Penn, big guns in that per.
suasion; ought to tell him, that
some American. sons of ANGLO
Saxons" may not now smear blood
after eating raw meat, but they spill
a lot OF 1t during lynching.
Thank bishop Hughes for his
kind words. sAs Balzac remarked,
eThsre are words that cut like
steel"
a g.. President Green Speaks. Pres
ident Green got off one two fine
phrases during the sessions of the
American Federation of Labor at
Los Angeles. Here Is one: "The
philosophy of Trotzky has no affili-
alton with that Of Gonpers."
Ask one OF your well-read friends
TO tell you all about Trotzky. Then
you will be able to give some
thought to Mr.. Green's words. OF
course you know who Gompers was.
He was an English Jew, who rose
from a tobacco shop keeper In
Brooklyn to be president of the
American Federation of Labor. E
Jews don't work much, as you can
see by looking around, but in the
ORGANIZATION of workers they
are usually on the front seat. No
money around. no Jews about r
Another good phrase from Mr..
Green: 1.-THE American Federation
Of Labor will accept no dictation
from MOSCOW" That means that
the labor crowd OF the U. s. A. will
hce It's own row without advice from
Russia.

The ''philosophy of Gompers' may
be all right. but 1t kept you out Of

The doors OF others are still closed
against you. II might be all right
