AMERICA'SRACE
HATE IS WORST
In THE WORLD

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 13.-
Sherwood Eddy. secretary for Asia
of the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation, commended the religion of
Jesus Christ to the graduating stu
dents of Howard University as the
great moral force that will conquer
the. world. in delivering the bacca-
laureate sermon to them Sunday
afternoon.
He described the world into which
the students were about to enter as
" sorry world, a world of strife,
strife between classes in industry,
rich and poor, capital and labor, en-
ployer and employed; strife be-
tween races; strife between nations
breaking out periodically into overt
war. 1t is world of strife and
war based upon this philosophy of
might makes right. IL is a world of
Imperialism where the strong have
gone out to exploit and profit out
of the weak"
He related the conquests OF the
Imperialism of Holland, Belgium and
Great Britain. But the economic
and financial. Imperialism Of Amer
lea, he declared, is the most dread
ed in the world today. The United
States, he said, has transgressed in
many ways.
Race Prejudice
81 blush to say" he stated, "that
as l have travelled over the world
for the last 80 years, as my work
has taken me through India, China,
Asia, through Russia, Europe. and
other countries, l find the people Of
this country suffering more from
the disease yes, it seems no less
than a disease - from the disease
of race prejudice than any other
people on earth.'
None In Europe
Race prejudice, he said, Is not
found, among the people of Russia,
or the Slavic people. 1t is not found
In France, South America, and
China. The chief people suffering
from this disease, he declared, are
first, the white race of America I;
second. the people OF Britain; third,
the people of Germany, and fourth,
the high caste people Of India.

SCHOOLS

Spokane School Board has prohib-
tied card playing at PIT. A. meetings
in the schools. That's all right. Many
sincere citizens object to cards. "The
devils chips" an evangelist lately &C.
tive in our city called them.
The reason given for barring card
playing may lead the school board
into difficulties. 1t is that objections
are raised on religious, or moral,
grounds.
Perhaps as many object to dancing
and to theatrical performances as to
card playing. Yet every school gives
dramatic performances, in which the
children themselves take part. OBJ
jectors might argue that it is more
important to keep the children from
acting than to forbid their parents a
table of bridge.
The danger in official rules of con-
duct, in restrictions, prohibitions and
censorships, is that no two persons
can agree on where to draw the line.

"BoLSHEvIkl"

Club women may be astonished to
learn that the General Federation Of
Women's Clubs has been listed by
one of the professional red-hunting or
CARNATIONS among the influences en-
gagged in spreading "bolshevistic doc
trines' in the United States.
Championship of the child labor
amendment has brought down upon
organized club women this particular
attack.
There are those who lie awake
nights inventing imaginary perils
against which they can protect hui
manity-for a consideration. The par
ticular group which makes living by
fighting "bolshevism" is hard put to
find continued excuses for existence.
That explains this remarkable propa-
ganda seeking to link the women's
clubs, the state universities, the lib
eral" and progressive" movements
and others in some mysterious fash
ion with Soviet Russia.
There are less than 5000 commun-
lists in the United States-but as long
as there are gullible men with money
who can be induced to provide meal
tickets for red baiters these silly in
ventions of non-existant "bolshevistic
influences" will flourish.

Opinions of "a Mere Man"
SPOkANE

Spokane is second to no American
city in character of its population, in
healthfulness, in educational and So
cial advantages, and in general re-
spect for law.
Sometimes in the excitement of
political campaign we are prone to
forget our blessings and to magnify
our civic shortcomings. That is the
case in our present situation.
Some of the more extravagant
statements recently made on the plat
form and in print would lead an out
slider to believe that Spokane is a sink
Of iniquity-a veritable Sodom-a
modern Babylon. That doesn't happen
to be true.
The good people of the average
American city would think the millen-
ium at hand il their communities
should become overnight as clean
morally-as free from vice of every
description-as is Spokane today.
The only fair comparison for Spo-
kane is with cities approximately the
same size. There has not in recent
years been anything here approaching
the conditions with which Butte, Ia
coma, Salt Lake City, Sacramento,
San Diego or Omaha have had to con-
tend. While insisting on better con-
ditions, let us not exaggerate those
we have. Let's be proud of our city
and refrain from blackening its rep
utation.

SUICIDES

Fourteen boys, college and high
school students, have killed them
selves since Christmas. Not a good
sign. There was something lacking
in their homes. It wasn't money, for
half a dozen of them came from we'll
TODD families. 1t wasn't prominence,
for two of them were sons of parents
who had achieved national renown.
1t wasn't education, or intellect, for
they were all students and some of
them had led their classes.
Was it religion?
There are many who believe that
the greatest domestic problem in this
country is the submergence of the
spiritual element in the homes of our
people. But 1t would be difficult to
find general agreement as to the
cause of this submergence.
Some say science is undermining
religion. That is to be doubted. Sci
ence seeks truth, and that which is
based on truth cannot be undermined.

for man who has only been. nomi-
mated and elected once.
II not President Coolidge, WHO for
the Republicans? That question in
terests Washington. Three names in
teresting the wise are Secretary Mel
Ion, Secretary Hoover and Frank
Lowden, of Illinois. Secretary Mellon,
older than the two others, is young
enough to manage admirably after
the-war finances for this nation and
to work nine hours day at his office.
Herbert Hoover has worked like a
slave on development of national re-
sources, including the Boulder Dam
and waterways from the Great Lakes
to the ocean and the gulf. The coun-
try appreciates that.
Governor Lowden, a practical farm
err, has millions of farmers with him.
But the main question is:
Does President Coolidge want the
nomination?
If he does, it is his.
Montana's senate last week voted
in favor of the constitutional amend
ment against child labor. The amend
ment may be lost, child labor being
profitable, and profits hard to give
up. But it is comforting to see de-
cency here and there. In the end, of
course, the amendment would help
every state, just as the end of slavery
helped all-including states that had
the greatest sacrifices to make.
Child labor cheats grown men and
women of work and cheats the next
generation of its chance in life, to say
nothing of hooking Christ's warning,
Their angels do always behold the
face of my father, which is in Heav-
en-"
Child labor sends plenty Of little
angels to verify that text.
There are fine women in America.
A year ago Mrs. Myrtle Huddleston, of
California, took up swimming ito re-
duce." Last week she swan the Cata-
lima Channel, her eleven-year-old boy
crying out to her, "Come on, Mamma,
don't give up" When she finished
the swim, the thirty-year-old mother
was delirious, partly paralyzed and
had been bitten four times by savage
barracuda.
Too bad that such woman should
waste her marvellous vitality on a
battle that pleases the morbid but
does no good. The nation could af-
ford to pay her to have twenty-one
children instead of swimming twenty
one miles in icy water.
Bernard Shaw says mothers should
be paid for having children and adds,
81 would not have baby for less than
100000" He underestimate it.
If he were a woman, with only a
mans courage, and had had ONE
baby, he wouldn't have another one
for a million dollars.

made at the cemetery on Southfork.
At the time of the accident, Ian
Ewalt, with his half brother, Ever
EFT Maddox and cousin Dave Ewait
were doing the work at the ranch.
The father was in Cody where Mrs.
Ewalt is living this winter that the
smaller children may attend school.
Maddox and Ian were hauling hay,
and the former had driven to the
stack and loaded UP while Ian
looked about for a rabbit or two
for the evening meal. Arriving al
the stack just as his brother was
about to leave, he attempted tc
stick the shotgun under the hay or
the rach, driving the u butt first
The result was the discharge of the
shotgun which had but one barre

FIREMEN GET ANXIOUS
URGES EARLY ACTION
In WORKMAN CHARGE

The members of the Cody Fire
Department presented Judge p. w.
Metz with a petition today asking
for the appointment of a special
prosecutor and the speeding up of
the machinery of the courts in re-
gard to the charges which were
filed two weeks ago against Mrs.
Chas. Workman, charging her with
arson, in connection with the burn
ing of the Workman store January
9th. According to the Firemen the
preliminary hearing has not as yet

in this term of court.
According TO County Attorney
Rankin he has been doing every
thing in his power to speed up mat
tiers. The time of the preliminary
hearing was set one week later than
the cause of action is charged to
have taken place, and at that time
both the defendant to the action and
the justice of the peace were i'll. AT
this time the county health officer,
DR.. Frances M. Lane has made af-
fidavit that Mrs. Workman's health
is such which will prohibit her be-
