Monitor Starts Relief Fund for Tulsa Riot Victims The contributions for The Monitor’s Tulsa Relief Fund come; in slowly. Several persons have assured us over the phone that , they intended to donate, hut only one check has been sent in up to time of going to press, one for $2.00 from Ed. F. Morearty. This makes $25.50 to date. This is hardly more than a starter. We hope other hotels will follow the example of the Blackstone Hotel whose letter published in this issue breathes the light spirit.

It is a sad. sad comment- ‘ ary on the vaunted and boasted “white man’s civilization.” For it is “the white man’s civilization”, that is on trial, not the black man’s for are they not fond of proclaiming that 1 this is “a white man’s country”, in which “white supremacy must be maintained”? And yet savage out- t bursts of this character, growing in violence and frequency, would seem to prove beyond the shadow* of a doubt that the white man is destroy- i ing his civilization by ruthlessly trampling the law, the only safe- r guard of civilization, under his feet and giving full leash to the basest * and most brutish passions. A black- ' skinned youth accidently steps on the foot of a white-skinned girl in 1 an elevator. An altercation follows.. The youth flees. The usual charge which inflames men is insinuated, if not directly charged by the daily* ] press of that city. Threats of lynch ing are made. Members of the boy’s 1 race determine to protect him. 1 From bitter experience, many have j learned that they cannot depend up on the officers of the law to protect a prisoner’s life, if his skin be black and he charged with a certain crime. The pity of this! It is pathetically tragic and bodes disaster. Whites gather to lynch a black boy. Blacks assemble to prevent it. The latter are lead by an ex-service man, a black soldier who had crossed the sea to fight for democracy. A significant fact, please note it well. A clash en sues. It widens into warfare. Long pent hatred for the black race that would presume to defend itself is given vent. Homes of innocent per sons are fired by inflammable bombs we are advised, from airplanes, as well as by torches from hoodlums. Thousands are rendered homeless and reduced to poverty. Many are killed, hundreds are wounded. Car nage. arson, murder results appar ently from a trivial incident. Not so. This trivial incident was but the match which exploded the mine which had been carefully laid. Vicious propaganda of racial inferiority and degeneracy, emphasized and encour aged by segregation and jimcrowing, laid the mine in Tulsa as it did in East St. Louis, Atlanta, Washington, Chicago and Omaha, which issued in this, the latest explosion of inhuman and hellish hatred. The same propa ganda is laying and charging mines in other large centers of population, "* north a well as south, which needs but some trivial incident to give us another Tulsa. Tulsa has its lessons, its so'emn warning for America; for black Am erica no less than for white America. May we all be wise to heed the mes sage given, to learn the lessons taught. The black American must not lose heart. He must continue to be law-abiding and self-respecting, never becoming the aggressor in wrong-doing, but ready to die in his own defense. The white American must cease his contemptuous regard for the black American as a creature without the law and Btand for justice and the supremacy of law. There should be kindly, sympathetic con tact between both groups each stand ing for law and order and the up holding not of “a white man’s civil ization” but of a Christian civiliza- ; tion in which all men are regarded ■ as brethren. — EIGHT INDICTED FOR MUR DER OF COLORED MAN FORTLAND.

Shearers Id Austfklla are paid by the number of sheep they shear, but the ranch helpers are paid by the week. Averaging everything, from young wethers, which are hard, to old ewes, which ate easy, a good man will shear about 90 to 100 sheep a’ day. 1 The actual record la 327 sheep shorn by a Queensland shearer In nine hours. A*d other big records have been made. But that was probably years back with the “blades,"when the fleeces were flve-pouDd and slx-pouDd, and not nine pound and ten-pound, as they are i* Pardon Prove# Superiority.
