Louisville, KY - Co = Kirtley
Scott, music critic of the daily
Herald-Post, on the occasion of the
appearance of the Cincinnati Orches-
ira and Vladimir Bakaleinikoff, con-
ductor, for the young peoples mat
inee at Memorial Auditorium, wrote:
ut is not amiss, 1 think, to say
that one of the most noteworthy
facts of the afternoon audience was
the growth in attendance of the
Negro children. incidentally, they
gave the youngsters of our own white
race cards and spades in behavior.
Their instant response to the music
was partly due, perhaps, to racial
characteristics, but their department
was invariably commendable."

At Fort Des MONIES, iowa, OH
June 18, 1917, there assembled the
largest body of educated Negroes
ever brought together for single
purpose. Negro Officers Training

The 'Leviathan," formerly the
German steamship "Vateriahd,'
was unloaded and coaled, in
competition with other white and
black stevadore regiments, by
Company A, 801st Stevadores,
young American Negroes, in SO
hours, a world record.
At the eleventh hour of the
eleventh day of the eleventh
month of 1913, the order came
to cease firing. The 92nd Dr.
vision of Negro troops stood at
Thanh and before Metz, in advance
of the progress of troops Of all
America. The ground which they had
trod had not been occupied by other
than German troops in DO years. It
was the field of honor, and recogni-
tien and equality, and must be theirs
of necessity. Nature had ruthlessly
perfected this type of black native
born American for the high duties of
a soldier-TTIE WAR WAS OVER.
The census of 1850 shows that
5S1 of every 1000 free Negroes
were mulattoes, and only SO of
every 1000 slaves.

proposed non-titular bout between
Joe Louis and James Braddock,

Joe Gould, that the State Boxing
Commission had given its approval
for the bout.
'Ive just come from the Boxing

was the final untying of the Knot

PLANTER AND PEACE OFFICER
FOUND GUILTY IN
"SLAVERY CASE

Jonesboro, Ark, Nov. 2s-A fed
eral court jury convicted Paul D.
Peaeher, plantef-peace officer, We'd
iiesday OH charges of violating an
ancient a1ti-slavefy statute and he
was sentenced to two years in
prison and fined $500. :
Judge John E. Martineau imposed
the sentence Immediately, despite a
jury recommendation of clemency
and requested that the 424year-old
Earle, Ark, town marshal not be
imprisoned.
The court, however, said he would
place Peacher on probation if he
paid the fine, making it unnecessary
for him to serve the sentence. Judge
Maftineau fixed bond at $4,000 and
gave the defense three days to de-
eide whether to appeal.
The jury convicted Peacher on all
of seven counts of an indictment
which accused him of falsely arrest
Ing group of Negroes and forcing
them to work on his farm. The
Judge sentenced him to two years on
each of the counts, the sentences to
run eoncurrently.
Without comment, Peacher smiled
broadly when the verdict was read,
after the jury deliberated two and
one-half hours.
Peacher was said by U. S. Attor-
ney Fred 1srig of Little Rock to be
the first person indicted under the
federal anti-slavery statute passed
in 1869.

County Attorney staunch
Friend of Unions.

Harry Freebourn has been a con-
slant friend, not only OF the labor
unions, but to the working people in
general In many places throughout
the country, the labor unions and the
working people have difficulty in Sc
curing a square deal from city, county
and state officials in their controversy
with the employers. Organized labor
doesn't want to be shown any partial
ity, but does want to be accorded the
same rights and privileges and protec-
ton as the corporations. 1t may come
as a surprise to many people who have
never given the subject much thought
that this condition exists. One has
only to read the reports Of the conflicts
in various cities to get a full apprecia-
ton of the value Of a friend in the i'm
portant position Of Chief Of Police,
Sheriff, County Attorney, or Attorney
General. These are key positions in
regard to labor unions. Silver Bow
County is fortunate in having a County
Attorney who has the vision and the
understanding to administer his office
so that labor is adequately protected
in its rights. Many will regret to see
Harry pass out Of the official family of
Silver Bow County, but all will lend
their efforts to assist him to rise to the
greater height to which he now as
pires.

New Forms Ready
For Applicants On
Old Age Pensions

Word has been received from Wash
ington hat the new forms to be
signed by applicants for old age PEN
sions in Montana have been finally APP
proved and they will be rushed to Act
ing State Administrator Joseph Wat
son at Helena and by him sent imme-
diately to each of the SO counties Of
the state.
The work that had previously been
done under which 6,650 applications
had been signed up and approved, must
all be done over again. Mr.. Watson in
a statement given to Charles l.. Stev-
ems, author of the law and state pub
lcity representative stated Tuesday
that the entire machinery OF the State
Relief organization will be utilized to
rush the work, Old people living at a
distance IRON the court house in the
larger counties in particular will be
reached by special messengers so that
there may be no delay.
I'VE regret" said Mr.. Watson, that
we cannot send out the checks today to
all the needy aged people but we are
asking and urging the cooperation OF
all the county relief organizations in
getting the law into operation.
1t is really essential that the county
relief agencies cooperate to the fullest
extent in this work, One county might
delay the work in the entire state al
though any county that does that would
certainly incur the wrath of a large
army of old men and women who are
anxiously awaiting the money they
need so badly.
Under the new requirements, there
may be some who have been approved
who will be either cut down on the
amount or eliminated. Should there be
such, it will be up to the county COM
m%issioners and county relief boards to
take up the entire subject and place
the facts before the state board.
The State Old Age Commission OF
which Charles P, Nevin of Butte is
chairman and for which Joseph Watson
was named as co~-ordinator and admin
i%strator, has powers of review of all
such cases.
An effort will be made under the re-
canvass to get as nearly as possible
uniformity in the counties. This will
avoid charges of favortism which in
the past especially in relief work, have
been widespread in Montana.
