SPLITTING THE PLATE
By John A. 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.

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.

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.
