Tholmer 1 Two colored boys from the south were recently heard to carry on the following conversation: Jimmy was observed by George speaking to a white child (girl), who was trying to take a toy from his hands and said: “Say, feller, yer mus' be tryin’ ter be der main guy at er necktie party. Don’t yer know we all ain’t erlowed ter talk to no wite gals? I jist seed in der papers whar er linchin' is er bout ter take place in Wyoming up noit er bout a man wid er lil baby girl.” Jimmy quickly answered: “Yer must be el fool feller; I seed dat in der paper too. But >dat wuz er wite man. Yer know yer onself no culled fellus don’t do them tings les den deys bugs er drunk, ’ceptin’ in the noozepapers whar dey manerfarture dem lies to make us fokes look like we wuz dogs.” The above answers man.v cases charged to dark folks by cowardly curs and answered at ran dom by an uneducated colored boy with no coaching whatsoever. 2 News columns give accounts of re turned white soldiers in Council Bluffs, Iowa, doing volunteer police duty with shotguns. So said to put ! an end to a rape wave being carried on by Negroes against white girls and women. If there be any sincerity connected with their efforts, why is it that they did not go gunning for white brutes who put over the same outrages against their own people there not long ago. We also read of a street car man being held up by highwaymen about the same time those would-be heroes took the field and were patrolling the front lines. Wonder if they caught sight of the enmies artillery and scooted for safety in the dugouts? And as for the patriotism in their makeup, that’s open to question. Had all been the braves they would have people believe them to be the gov ernment would have save itself much trouble and money by not being forced to pass the draft act and making too many cowards face the music. No man who really loves his country will ever be forced to defend it. The ones who quickly answered the call were the real heroes in this show down, not the exemption seekers, who had no fail grounds foe their stand. 3 Hated, yet loved: Such was the nation’s sentiments and admiration towards the late lamented Col. Roose velt. Day by day as time silently comes and steals away, we feel more and more that something in our midst is missing. Yea, I say unto you, never was the old republic more in need ’ of an able leader. One whom the people loved, trusted and stood ever r ready to follow. We stand on the brink of a crisis. Whom shall we trail behind? Presi dent Wilson would lead us- to despair, but we see the breakers ahead and refuse to budge. The senate has ■ som- able men. Statesmen more | learned in international politics and policies than the Hon. Woodrow; still we cannot warm ourselves up to them. What shall we do? Where shall we end? Where shall we look? Oh, give us back the soul that fled from Oyster Bay and the fading flag would f rise at ease again. We miss him; I ah, we miss him—the sage of Oyster I Bay. Oh pity, what a pity he could no longer stay. To see the old boat landed safe from the choppy seas. Know God almighty housed him with saints of his ideas. PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORTS By John A. Tholmer I have told of how men long before our time and even until a few’ cen turies ago became giants of health and strength, now I will endeavor ti relate the secret of power and longev ity. The food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe have r tremendous influence on life. You know that if a farmer expect. to raise a good crop he begins b> preparing the soil. After which hi plants his seed; always careful that the plants are well watered and re ceive a propel- amount of light and air. With such attention his crops art sure to prosper and reward him with ; good yield. * If we wish to reward our lives with health and old age it is essential that we give to our bodies even more at tention than the farmer gives to his land, as the requirements of the hu man system are so filled with small details that no matter, how apparent ly insignificant, they should not be overlooked. We will begin our care of the main organ of our make up, the stomach. It is the engine room of the plant. The moment that machine goes wrong we become ill. A good stomach in sures a healthy body and a sound mind. We have all been to mills and fac tories and watched the great wheels and rods moving in perfect unison with precise regularity year aftei year. The moment the action stops of itself the enginemen know that something is amiss. We may liken our stomach to the engine room with all its machinery for it is just that; it is the dynamo of our human mills When the stomach goes wrong, the machines fail to carry out their propei functions, and we are very readily ap praised of the situation. (To Be Continued.) IS IT FAIR? To undertake to regulate the affairs; of distant peoples, whom few of us know or have any direct care or in terest in and vice versa? And at the same time neglect that which needs careful and immediate attention be cause it is in our every day life and right in our homes ? It is the germ of . a cancer that sooner or later, if al lowed to develop, will surely affect the entire body. But by all the laws of reason we cannot understand how any man can w-ho is fifteen-sixteenths white, still be black. Any person saying so is a detestable idiot? For the federal government to cow ardly permit the bulldozing south to trample under foot the constitution under the pretense of state's rights j beings supreme to U. S. law, when the | subject happens to concern Colored people ? To assume that any people will en-; dure forever a condition equal to that of the Israelites, who threw off the yoke of Kaypt? To condemn a nation because of the misgivings of a few who we re reared midst crime and ignorance? To obscure from any particular be ing the light which God endowed for all? To invoke the wrath of heaven on f a sinner before you have washed away vour own ? CUTS HIGH COST OF LIV ING WITH SHINNING WHEEL Poteau, ,Okla., Sept. 24.—Although various schemes have been put into operation to reduce the high cost of living, it remained for Nora Cooper, a colored woman of this city to bring forward an industry that flourished 100 years ago. She has taken quarters in an old school, where she has installed an old fashioned spinning wheel that is said to be more than 100 years old. She spins her own threads from raw cot ton and cards and weaves it upon the looms into cloth. The machine can turn out ten yards of material a day. Mrs. Cooper is a southern bom wom an and intends disposing of her cloth products at prices that make the present tariffs on cloth look sick.
