NEGR.O THREATENS
GOVERNOR DORSEY
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Two threat
ening letters, one addressed to the gov
ernor of Georgia and the other to the
governors of Mississippi, were taken
by the police from Willie I.auey, a
negro, alleged slayer of a 17-year-old
white boy during the riots here last
week. The negro denies authorship
of the letters and claims he found
them. The author of the letters refers
to himself, as the “S. S. of the United
States.” taken by the police to mean
sharpshooter. The letter to Governor
Dorsey reads:
'“Dear Sir: You are the governor
of the state of Georgia, and I want
you to consider that the negro was
nrafted during the world war to fight,
for this country as the white man,
and I want you to understand that
this thing of lynching in the state of
Georgia must be cut out. We went
and kfded Germans for your rights
and we can also kill Americans for
our rights, and if I hear any iuore of
lynching in the state of Georgia I will
come quickly and the people will weep
after I leave, because I sweep from
the cradle up.”
In the opening of the letter to Gov
ernor Dorsey the writer wrote: “From
the S. S. of the negro race.”

To the preacher, life's a sermon,
To the joker, life’s a jest,
To the miser life is money,
To the loafer, life is rest
To the lawyer, life's a trial.
To the poet, lify's a song
To the doctor, life's a patient.

To the soldier, life's a battle.
To the teacher, life's a school;
Life's “a good thing” to the grafter;
It's a failure to the fool.
To the man upon the engine
Life’s a long and heavy grade;
It's a gamble to the gambler.
To the merchant, life's a trade.
Life is but a long vacation
To the man who loves his work;

LUKE McLUKE SAYS.
An unmarried girl never gets so
hopeless (hat she takes a chance and
eats onions for breakfast.
What makes a girl so afraid of a
mouse is the fact that she is wearing
her very best stockings.
A slender girl may have dimples in
her face. But a Corn Fed girl has
them in her face and in her. shape, too.
The reason a June Bride expects so
many swell clothes from her husband
is because 10 years from now she will
be lucky if she gets anew gingham
apron once a year.
In the average home the Mother
waits on the Children first, her hus
band second and herself last.
When a single man is wrong he is
the last to find it out. But when a
married man is wrong he is the first
to find it out. s
Some men are so worked up over
the league of nations that they have
not time to hunt for a job.
A wife should not ask her husband
embarrasing questions. She should re
member that a man hates to lie to his
wife unless she forces him to.

MONKEYDOM
PESSIMISTS
It lias been said that immorality
is the curse of the race; that rum is
ruining the people; that neglect of
childlife is undermining society; that
contempt for law is destroying the
state; and now comes one 1) B. U.
Keister a noted specialist, who declared
before a congress of scientists at Phil
adelphia that the United States is now
second only to China in the use of
opium, and that there is danger from
our use of narcotics of the people
degenerating back into something worse
than monkeydom
Mr. Keister and his high-brow fol
lowers can go back to monkeydom if
they want to, but we are just going
to keep right on keeping on, and in
due course of time expect to become
a pretty decent sort of man, one who
writes cheerful things instead of damn
ing everybody and everything in sight
just because the universe and the peo
ple are not perfect If anybody goes
back to monkeydom it will be for two
reasons —one because he sprang from
monkeydom somewhere back in the
dim and distant past and another be
cause he has scrambled brains of the
monkey brand. Some may have mon
key brains, some fatty degeneration of
the grapenut variety It takes all kinds
'of people to make a world, including
bilious scientists and those who pre
dict all sorts of dire calamities for
their fellow men for no other reason
than their own livers are disordered
and need shaking up.
There are many destructive agencies
such as immorality, rum opium, social
frivolity and green-goggled specialists
who can see nothing about (he apple
but speck where the worm took' a
bite. In the meantime, we should all
go right on following the even tenor
of our way, growing in grace, advanc
ing in educational enlightenment, in
creasing in wealth, adding to our peace
of mind and contentment, conscious
that our civilization is growing bet
ter all the time.
Evils there are, and the best cure
for them is to cultivate the good, the
true and the beautiful. Sending the
country to the bad is an enterprise the
pessimists undertake with habitual
periodicity, but we always find upon
investigation that as a matter of fact,
