Supreme Chancellor's Opposition.
In order to keep the records
straight, it would not be amiss to state
here that the "sectionalism issue" was
not raised by the Texas delegation to
the supreme Pythian lodge; for if any
sensible and nationally minded person
read Mr.. Green's letter to Grand
Chancellor Willis of the Texas juris-
diction written from New Orleans,
La, under date of July %. 1927
practically one month before the
vote was taken for the next supreme
lodge meeting place-he discovered
these words from the pen or type
writer OF br'er Green: Il have been.
and am yet of the opinion that it
would not be advisable to have our
supreme lodge meet in the State OF
Texas, or any other far Southern
State under the present conditions OF
discrimination, segregation and Jim
crow cars as now practiced in the
South. l shall, therefore, NOT
FAVOR the convention of the su-
preme lodge coming to the State of
Texas in 1922
So much for his written word and
his reasons assigned for his opposi-
ton to Texas and the South as host
to the biennial supreme Pythian lodge,
which is prima facie evidence that
Mr. Green, himself, raised the sec
tionalism issue, either as q smoke
screen or for obvious political reasons.
No Good Reason.
In his article, Mr.. Green praised
delegates from Louisiana, Oklahoma
and Mississippi for lining up with
him against Dallas and the South,
vet these self same delegates, or he
majority of them, could offer no valid
or sound reason why the conventicn
should not be held in Dallas; and,
when pressed for some definite req
son for opposing the Texas city, they
generally ended by saying, We'll, the
supreme chancellor isn't with Texas"
or "Texas isn't right" etc.
We had always thought that the
supreme lodge was democratic body,
anu ,naJ its members had some free
dom of thought and action, but the
Chicago session failed to confirm or
strengthen this belief.
If the continual meeting in North
ern and Eastern cities has given the
supreme body its do-nothing program
as was manifested during August al
Chicago, then the order could hardly
do worse by meeting once IN the
South. (LeU US prayD

trains, and numerous Southern dele
gates motored there in all types of
modern and high-priced automobiles;
and the mayor of the city, in his well
come address, thanked the league for
coming to Tulsa and asserted that the
leading white citizens of that COM
munity were going to see, to- it that no
such domestic disorder ever happened
again in that city.
Elks In Richmond
The co ored Elks-the most color
full fraternal order extant among our
rc and, perhaps, the most largely
attended-met last year in Richmond,
Virginia, the hor-ocd or rebellion,
secession, prescription, segregation,
disfranchisement and "iim-croWismS -
yet not one unroward Incident
transpired to mar the. occasion, and
both races in the Old Dominion State
were tremendously benefited by the
contacts made during the stay Of the
Bills" in the former capital of the
Southern Confederacy!
Why, even the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
p!e-that militant organization which
is held in disfavor by large num-
whites" provoked any ''racial trouble"
with them.
1t is remarkably strange how some
supposed sane and sensible men can
permit their minds to run riot and
their brains to run amuck, and
imagine all species of evil and dire
things!
If The Informer remembers cor
rectly, some of the most sanguinary
domestic disorders and race riots in
the history of this country were
staged in cities of the '.civilized and
free North by the irresponsible
whites!"
The bloody carnage of East St
Louis, II inois, is still too fresh upon
our memory for any man, be he South
erner or Northerner, to point the in
dieting finger only at the South!
That Illinois Riot.
1t also appears to US that ever
Chicago, Illinois-America's most
ideal and democratic municipality
had terrible race riot some few years
ago; and that it had its inception in
a wrangle and fight because Negroes
were bathing too near some whites
in the cool and refreshing waters OF
Lake Michigan.
Reading further into the records
the name of Duluth, Monn., appears
with it's awful lynching orgy; anc
the national capital, Washington, d
. c., has not been free from an awful
= internecine disturbance.

abilities of race troubles during the
vacations of the supreme lodge, found
themselves very much relieved when
they can meet at least once in two
wears in cities and under circumstan-
ces where they can feel free from the
harassments and probabilities of ra-
cial troubles.
While the delegates from louisiana,
Mississippi and Oklahoma voluntarily
accept the conditions in the South, and
are willing to remain in the South,
and do remain in the South, they are
not sufficiently narrow-minded to try
to force others to accept those condl-
tions when they can meet in other
cities without having to undergo the

ISLE OF WIGHT SITUATION
SERIOUS
The Richmond Times Dispatch says;

Isle of Wight County is now in the
midst of a double upheaval. Several
DAYS ago a 14-year-oid white girl
was attacked and murdered near her
home about one mile from Smlthtield.
A Negro reported that his son had
seen another Negro, Shirley Winnie
gan, near the scene OF the crime
about the time the crime was beheVed
to have been committed, Wlnnegan
was arrested and placed secretly IN
the Petersburg jail. On the night OF
the crime a mob visited the home OF
the sheriff demanding information as
to where the prisoner was located.
Sheriff w. H. Chapman withheld this
information until advised by Common
wealth's Attorney George Whitley to
inform the mob.
That this mob intended 70 lynch
Winnegan is the only conclusion that
can be drawn from it's action. Before
the mob reached Petersburg, which, 1t
is reported. it did not enter. Common
wealth's Attorney Whitley had
warned the Petersburg authorities
and the prisoner had been removed to
Richmond. A grand jury was quickly
convened at Isle Of Wight Court
House. Winnegan was indicted. COM
monwealth's Attorney Whitley did not
ask for a change of venue and the
trial was set for November lst, at
Isle of Wight Court House. The
father of the murdered child told the
court that he was willing for the law
to take its course.

And again;

Winnegan. it develops, was, at the
time the murder of which ne is &C
cused was committed, on parole from
an insane asylum. Acting on the be-
lief that Sheriff Chapman should not
have permitted such man to go free
about the county, a political meeting
has been held by 1850 Isle of Wight
men. At this meeting independent
candidates were nominated for sheriff
and Commonwealth attorney for the
election of November Sth.
If Winnegan is guilty of the crime
for which he is indicted he must be
punished to the limit under the laws
of Virginia. But the county has now
been covered with political posters
calling for political revolt. With
this new factor entering to complicate
matters further it would be the part
of wisdom to shift the trial of Winnie
gan to some other point in Virginia.
We feel like we are living in q
r.w Virginia. Justice should be
meted "thcugh the heavens fall. "

SEWARD OFFICER FORGING TO FRONT RANKS IF J. 5.
 SHORT STORY WRITER'S

Capt. Ralph R. Guthrie, commander Of the U. s. Signal Corps for this area of the Territory, without doubt is rapidly becoming one of the most popular contributors to the biggest national fiction magazine, The Popu- lar. Hardly a month goes by but what story by Capt. Guthrie does not appear. Alaskans, especially, ap- preciate Capt. Guthrie's stories for not only are they clever but, unlike the majority of Alaskan stories, touch upon the softer side of the Territory. The Savage Core is the story this month and in brief for ward is the following:- savage through education. become quite civ ilized, retaining not the least vestage of his aboriginal nature? Sam Mix lik and Genelna, Alaskan Indians who had suffered at the hands of their tribe because they were or phans, were little too ready to claim that it was possible
 To illustrate Capt Guthrie's des- cription of Alaska note this opening paragraph in his story this month; Alaska is a land of flowers, land scape and solitude, and auroral splendor. That, at least, is the nota- tion to be found in my diary, written, I see, on the 18th day of my 1900 mile "mush" over the Nutzotin Noun tains, to make a moving picture studies of the caribou migration.
 Elsewhere is found; Terraces, en- bankments, and palisades, in all the shades of purple, brown and red. Cyclopean! That's it. A land fit only for giants. The many varieties of flowers. which I learned afterward were indigenous to Alaska, were blooming. We were, in fact, wading in them up to our necks without much appreciatiOn--daisies as large as silver dollars, astors, blue and yellow violets, anemones, and dwarf CT dogwood, ferns, beautiful as any in the restaurant windows in Seattle. and as tall as a grown man. Every thing was colorful, perfumed and beautiful as paradise, if only we had been taught to drink it in with pro- per enthusiasm; but we had been used to it all since babyhood.
