the white pastor and myself had
talked about the matter at nv home.
Bailey then said, Baker, YOU are
damned yellow dog" | said 'thank
YOU" and he hung up the phone
without questioning further or Civ
ing me a chance to explain.
My first thought was to go and
see him at once, but after consulta
ton with my wife and daughter who
begged me not to go, | concluded to
stay at home. Then | phoned the
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church to find out what he had said
to Bailey. He told me he had called
Bailey to his parsonage on Saturday
and told him of the rumor. and that
the secretary Of the Y. M. C. A.
(white), Arthur Moore, H. J. Baker
and others had all talked with him
of the rumor and that it was hurting
him and his church. Bailey request
ed him to announce Sunday night
following the program that he was
going on leave of absence, prob.
ably never to return again.
] then told him what Bailey had
called me and he was very much
hurt.
Following my talk over the phone
with him, in consulting with my wife
and daughter, we concluded never to
utter word about the affair to
ANYBODY.
Tuesday morning a lady friend
called Mrs. Baker and asked if it
were true that Rev. Bailey had called
me a damned yellow dog" We
were very much surprised to know
that she had heard of the matter,
and found that the knowledge cot
ont through the home of Mrs. Eliza
Stitt, whose home Rev Bailey has
been living in since he was stricken
Mrs. Stitt's daughter, of the age Of
ten or twelve, had told a neighbor
friend. SO after the matter had got
out through the home where he Yves
living, ] feel compelled TO make this
statement that my friends may know
the truth, and why was called a
damned yellow dog"

Brotherhood of Man.
Mr.. johnson says his faith in the
coming brotherhood of man would
scarcely move an ant hill. The high
point of race prejudice, he added, is
demonstrated by the person who
goes about injecting the virus of
race prejudice into other people.
Suppose a man does need race
prejudice to bolster up his own self
esteem and sense of superiority, yet
why must he consider it his duty to
go around administering his nostrum
to those who are getting on very
well without it?

"The professional Southerner ar
CUES that the anti-Negro prejudice
is absolutely necessary for the pres
ervation of Southern white civiliza-
tion-whatever that may be worth
and there is certain logic in what
he says; for, given a fair chance,
the Negro would make some changes
in Southern white civilization and
would at the same time, l hope, make
some improvement.
"But what logical reason can the
professional Southerner give for
crusading for anti-Negro prejudice
like good Mussulmen carrying the
faith of Islam by fire and sword to
all the world? What is it to him
that makes the fight of solitary
Negro sitting in cafe in Paris, or
Berlin, allow him no peace of mind
until he has put forth every effort
to have black men kicked out?

much better than Miss Baker. In

Miss Baker was more of an acrobat

sparkle, and a very ready smile of

do not hesitate in what feel to be
my duty to the public.
On two occasions. the pastor of

time the A. NJ. f. Church and its
welfare was talked over. The pas
tor, Rev. S. E. Bailey, being sick,
the conversation drifted to him and
what the Methodist Episcopal pastor
would like to do to help him. At
each visit something was said about
the rumor involving Rev. Bailey that
was common talk around town. /

tor that had spoken to Rev. Bailey
twice about the rumor and that it

Politics and Politicians

After all. Gov. Hartley did and

. Mothers Day

Mother! Way back, earlier thar
you can remember, when her hail
was dark, her eyes like diamonds
and you so small but her own wee
one-your life and health and growth
depending on her, she devoted hei
life to you.
Often we underestimate what
mothers do because it is done SO
quietly. Yet it must be that he who
writes the Book of Life makes many
entries of mothers work for the bet
terment of the world. Her all-con-
quering love for her children, her i'm
plicit faith in God, her patience that

Is she lonely standing there in tn

ers that have slipped away into the
shadows have remained here. Sore
we never knew-they are mothers
who have left us.
BY resolution of Congress and by
order of the President, the sec 7nd

Mothers Day. The flag will float

signify the intention and express the
desire. But if ''the best mother" be

a letter.
1t is fitting that every church
should be devoting special services
to Mother on this day. Many of
them have planned elaborate pro-
grams based on the theme of mother
love, and all are paying the highest
tribute to the place she holds on
earth.

C0nsid liberation of
Teachers Pension
Fund Is Suggested

One Of the many subjects men.
toned but not seriously considered
at the special session Of the legis.
leture. which closed Tuesday, wal
that Of the condition of the state
teachers pension and retirement
fund.
william Watt, Cass county,
pointed out that in 1895 an appro.
priation Of $1,000 was made for an
actuary to examin~ the status Of
the fund and report to the legis-
lature. The report was made but
went unnoticed at the last regular
session of the legislature and no
action was taken regarding it.
The report shows, Watt said, that
the rates charged for participation
IN the fund must be Increased or
the benefits decreased. He fore
sees trouble, he said, unless steps
are taken to put the fund on q
sound basis and predicted that the
time will come when the state must
either provide financial aid for the
fund or those persons who have
helped to support it will be deprived
Of the benefits which thew have q
right to expect to receive from it.
Watt suggested that the pro-
posal to survey the situation and
revamp the teachers pension and
retirement law would b. a good
subject for consideration by the
next general assembly.
