Republican Candidate
Offers Insult

1t may be we are a little too
sensitive It Is possible we hang
our feelings upon our sleeves for
davis to peck. Over sensitiveness
may be an ever abiding shortcom-
ing on our part causing us to take
notice of, what to some, would be
of small moment. Nevertheless,
we resent any reflection cast upon
the race, regardless from what
ever source it eminates. Hon. John
H. Leuthold, Republican candidate
in the govenatorial race in Mon
tana, evidently forgot himself
when, in an oratorical flight, he
said" There's a little black niger
somewhere in the wood pile" The
remark was made last Friday
night over a state wide radio ad-
dress in his appeal to the voters of
Montana. We believe the colored
voters of the state will resent that
remark when they enter the booth
to pencil mark the candidate for
the position of Governor. He had
been doing to nicely, too. He for
got to uncouple his heart from his
tongue when he wrote his manu-
script.

Good Neighbors
The Brotherhood
of Man
by S. T. Mcoants

of Man
With all the exciting wars now
raging in Europe, we the people OF
America are at our wits ends as
TO where and when these destruct-
i've events will strike next.
We must by all means remember
that we are guilty of great many
errors in our American Democracy,
as practiced at this time. So did
Briton and France, and knowing
this to be true we are shaking in
our boots wondering how long we
will be spared before we have to
meet our misdeeds and sins, face
to face and give an account for
our stewardship to the Creator and
Father of us all.
According to the scriptures we
have all failed to perform the chief
duty for which our Saviour so
earnestly pleaded. He kindly asks
us to love God with all our hearts,
and our neighbor as ourselves. We
failed miserably in this the great
est command of our Saviour and
Lord. When 1 say we all have
failed, I am not excusing anyone,
starting with the head of the Holy
Catholic, Church of the Pope, the
Kings, Dictators, Queens and other
rulers of the world, also the pres
ent chief executive of our own
American nation.
These so-called rulers of the
earth, and leaders of Christ's
Church, throughout the entire
world have sadly neglected this
most important duty and will have
to give an account for the same.
Had our leaders in Church and
State done their full duty in teach
ing the nations of the earth to love
each other instead of themselves,
setting the precedents of hate and
selfishness, w weould not at this
time be so worried in mind that
we are not able to see our way to
peace. No, there will not be any
peace in Europe or the Americas
or any other part of this world I'M
til our civilization fully recognizes
the Brotherhood of man. They
must, of a necessity, acknowledge
God as the Creator and Father OF
us all. He loves his children re-
CARELESS of the color of their skins
The blood stream in all human be-
ings is the same color, red, there

should teach the feeble minded

of the skin, which are many In
the world has anything to do with
the hearts of the people that Goo
has made and loves equally the
same.
