MOKE BARBARISM Last week a town in Georgia burned a fifteen-year old boy at the stake. He was black and accused of murder. Two thousand people of "the superior race” took part, actively or passively in this orgy of barbarism. Press dis patches say that he was roasted for fifteen minutes over a slow fire to extract a confession from him as to his accomplices. He named another boy, so they say, and then he was placed on the fire again and two hun dred shots were fired into his body. The mob cheered and gloated over the agony of this unfortunate lad. It did not occur to any of that twc thousand that even if their victim were guilty of murder they were murderers too. Kvery member of that mob stands guilty before the ba<- of a just and righteous God of murder. And every one will hsve to expiate his crime. That is certain. If uch outbursts of savagery and barbarism as this are necessary to maintain ‘‘white suprem acy” and to demonstrate "race superi • ority”, God pity such supremacy and superiority. THE LEGISLATURE All over the country our people are filling for elective office. It is the proper thing to do. In some com munities they have been and will be elected. In others, they have been defeatsjd. That's only natural and part of the game. Omaha, in our judgment, has a good chance this year to send one of our men to the legis lature. Let some good representative citizen, who has character, brains and ability, file and then let us all rally to his support. A strong, united vig orous campaign can give us a rep resentative in the legislature. Let’s go to it. FINl'HOTS NOMINATION The nomination of Pinchot in Penn sylvania is significant. We are glad that our people there rallied to his support and helped defeat the old republican machine and regular or ganization which was responsible for double-crossing the race and defeat ing the Civil Rights bill. Our people everywhere are gradually getting their eyes opened and making their votes count. They are getting tired of be ing used and thetn given the merry ha ha, when they ask for rights and recognition. Pinchot is a Roosevelt progressive. WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAT HOD BLESS FRANCE, ALWAYS AS TRULY as evil has its punish ment, so truly does good reap its re ward. We have been removed from the World War Just far enough to ap predate the great trials and sacrifices through which we went in the name of Liberty, Democracy and World Freedom. It is quite human that we cast about for some expression of ap preciation for what we did. IN AMERICA, the World War seems to be a thing of the dead past. Our soldiers have forgotten their days in the trenches, seemingly, and on every hand we find those who prefer to talk of anything else hut the war. We are busy trying to get “back to nor malcy”—indeed, so busy that even our soldiers are beginning to complain that they fought for a victory which has proven empty and shallow, except on paper. BUT FRANCE, the o.ne France, has not forgotten. France holds to the remaining, but rapidly fading, light of the great Liberty we fought to estab lish the world over. France will not subscribe to European reorganization until the purposes for which she went to war become the fixed policy of the world. France remembers—and tho nil the world forget, she remembers now as yesterday the agony and sacri fice of every soldier who stood before (he German fire and bled himself White for the New Freedom. May God Mm* France, always and forever! AND FRANCE remembers without (Ueerimination.She remembers every i son with equal fervor and gratitude. She will not allow herself to forget. I Just now there is a movement on in France to erect suitable markings in ihe form of a monument to the heroes of the Black Army. So unreservedly grateful is France that she proposes a special monument to “Heroes de l’Ar mee Noire,” thereby demonstrating to ■ the world that the blood of black men was as great a sacrifice in her mind as was the blood of the Caucasian. IN ORDER that such a monument : may take suitable form and propor tions, France has announced that all black men who fought for her and for ; the world shall find expression of gratitude in the granite and marble to be fashioned and erected within her borders where all the world may see and know that heroism knows no color, condition nor geographical lim itation. The thought is so pregnant with our conception of Democracy that we subscribe to the movement with all the zeal we possess, and we solicit others to join in the effort to give to the world a lasting demon stration of human gratitude and fra ternalism.—The Pittsburgh Courier. ALLE> (HAPEL A. jf. E. CHI RCH 5233 So. 25th St. Market 3475 .. | O. J. Burckhardt, Pastor Sunday was a very good day with us. The Sunday School was fairly well attended. The League was also good, but late gathering. The Rev. I. B. Smith from Lincoln filled the pulpit all day and gave two good philosophical sermons, that made us us think.

WM«a N.w.pip.r U»U». ▲da was the starriest star lion that Blake A Bexley's International Grand Qtrcus and Menagerie bad aver known. They say all Ilona know a sight more than humans give them credit for, but I won't say yes or no to that. I'm only the clown. She used to purr like a great kitten when I went by, and stretch out the soles of her feet for me to tickle them through the bars Kub her head? God bless you, many a time I’ve been In side her cage and run my hand down bar back and tickled her ears, although It wasn't atrlctly allowed. You see, I'm only the clown. And she knew when Tlpp had been drinking. She couldn’t stand that no bow. She used to growl when he'd put her through her tricks, and stand lashing her tall In anger. You see, lions can always spot anything wrong about humane. But what made her real mad was when Tlpp had been beating his wife. How do I know? Well, In a way I have to watch things. You see, I’m only the clown. Nancy Tlpp had been as pretty as a picture when Tlpp married her. One of those little doll-like women who take to tneu like Tlpp for some reason that nobody’ll ever know. A regular angel In disposition, too. Hlgh-trapeze performer, and bred In the business, and that's apt to sour some women, but It hadn't soured Nancy Tlpp. She Idolized him, In spite of everything, and wouldn’t look at any of the boys who nsed to cast eyes at her, though there was many a one would have died for her. How do I know? Well, I’m the clown. But when Clssle Bustom Joined Blake A Bexley's and begun roping In Tlpp—who was always ready for anything In the female line that was on Clssle’s lines, Ada knew as soon as any of us. After that Tlpp used to treat Nancy Tlpp worse than ever, and more than once I’ve seen her painting out a black eye that Tlpp had given her before running Into the arena. She grieved over him, too, for a long time. But after a while she got kind of quiet and bitter against him, and I’d watch him and think how I’d like to bust his head If I was anything but the clown. Yes, sir, Ada knew all right. Tlpp and Nancy used to perform together Inside of Ada's cage, a kind of gym nastic exhibition, ending In Ada’s hoof ing Tlpp out of the cage and lying down at Nancy Tlpp's feet. And aa Clssle and Tlpp began carrying on more and more openly, Ada's temper got worse and worse, but she loved Nancy, and I think that’s what saved Tlpp’s bacon. If I may say so, though Tm the clown. It vba the day before the annual move to New York and Clssle and Tlpp had been alone all day. Something was In the wind. I didn’t know what, but what I did see, about half an hour before the performance, was Tlpp standing alone In front of Ada's cage and laughing at her. If anything mads Ada mad, that did. She snarled and showed her fangs, and growled, and lashed her tall, and bit at the Iron bar be dug Into her riba It was clearly his Intention to Irritate her to mad ness, and I wished more than ever I wasn't Just the clown. When the performance come on that night Tlpp a"d Nancy stepped Inside the cage and I saw he had a loaded pistol In his hand. Ada saw It too, and she acted better than for a long time, but there was a mean look In her eye which I recognized for what It was worth. Then come the moment when It was time for Ada to spring on Tlpp and roll him over with her hoofs —which Is the word I use for pads, being only a clown. And suddenly my blood weDt cold. For I saw Tlpp deliberately pull some thing out of bis sleeve and Jab Ads in the nose. Quick us lightning It was done. With hls back to the audience, and quick as lightning he was on hls feet and bolting for the door as Ada snarled. And I saw that It was hls game to make his get-sway and have Nancy torn to pieces, the miserable, skulking clown! My blood went cold, as I said. Bat It was all done In the flash of a mo ment. There came a roar from Ada, and Just as Tlpp had hls hand upon ths door, she caught him. I saw Nancy run forward screaming, and fling her self between them. And then It was all over and Tlpp lay on the floor of ths cage, and he would never beat Nancy Tlpp again, for bis head wss half torn from his body. I yelled and ran forward Into the cage, and I must hare looked a pretty sight with my face white and my spangles, ms dressed up as a down 1 Nancy was lying In a dead faint across Tlpp's body and Ada was crouching at her feet and never moved nor uttered a sound when I pulled Nancy up and carried her out Of course Ada had to be shot. But, as I began to say, Hons know a good deal about humans, and If there’s any lion heaven I guess she's gone to It, though we’re not supposed to think of serious things like that, we clowns. It was a long time before Nancy Tlpp became herself again and she's only Jnst gone back to circus life. Had to do that—I knew she would. It’s born and bred In her. Yea, she did And the right man at last and she’s happy now—she was tolling me so this morning. You see, I’m her clown.
