Late in the fall of 1918 the Bolahe-
viki or 3oviet government sent notes
to the Allied Nations and Associated
Powers then sitting in peace confer-
ence in Paris, asking for a confer-
ence with a view to settling world
differences. Princess Island, or Prln-
kipo, as It Is sometimes called, was
designated as the meeting place.
8aid the Bolsheviki to the rest of
the world: “Let ua go to Prinkipo.”
Lloyd George and Clemenceau
laughed; President Wilson is said to
have adjusted his spectacles to his
Intellectual nose and peered over his
map
was.
The whole world was amused to
think that a handful of Russian out-
laws should have the audacity to In-
vite the constituted authorities of
powerful nations to a peace confer-
ence. The invitation was lightly
brushed aside and speedily forgotten.
Today Red armies are knocking at
the door of Western Europe, easting
a war cloud over the entire world.
That handful of Russian outlaws has
been augmented a thousand fold, and
the hopes and fears of 150,000,000
Russians hang upon the success of
the Red hordes noyv hammering at
the gates of Poland. Bolshevism
threatens to engulf the entire world.
Therefore it is not surprising that
Lloyd George and his-associated allies
(The Chicago Whip.)
are solicitously saying to the Bolshe-
viki: “Will you come to London?”
Regardless of the sincerity of their
motives or the justice of their causa,
the Bolsheviki are probably doomed
to failure. Their leaders have fallen
victim to the same mirage which
lured Caesar, Napoleon, and Wilhelm
to their doom. Lenine and Bruailoff
have seeen visions of world conquest.
That alone spells their defeat. But
no man can say how much bloodshed,
to find where Prinkipo really slaughter, and devastation must be
witnessed before the Red movement
is finally crushed.
A conference at .Jjb-inkipo might
have settled all difficulties two years
ago; might have saved Europe, and
probably the world, another deluge of
Blobd and iron. , ■
The Russian people have finally
awakened from their thousand years’
slumber, and as a sleeping giant,
awakening from a nightmare of sla-
very and oppression, with their .eyes
still unaccustomed to the new day’s
bright glare of liberty, are striking
out right and left, blindly and furious-
ly—slaying, slaying, slaying. Their
wild orgy of bloodshed will be stop-
ped, but not until thousands of lives
have paid the price of centuries of
oppression.
The Amerioan Negro it another
sleeping giant who has begun to toss
restlessly in his slumbers. His
awakening is at hand, and—God for-
bid that he should awaken as the Rus-
sians have! His leaders are cfying:
“Let us go to Prlnklpol” They know
that should. ha awaken in a rage of
unbridled Yury, it. would be almost
disastrous to him in the end, but whits
America does not seem to know that
It would be just aa disastrous for hia
oppressors as for him. Twelve mil-
ima
lion raving marhacs could make life
worthless for 93,000,000 sane men.
His cries for justice are met with
burnings, lynchinga, mobblnga, and
beatings, which multiply so thick and
fast as to make it difficult to tabulate
them all.
Hear, America, oh hear the cry, “Let
us go to Prinkipo!” Wait not until
it Is America who must say to the
Negro: “Will you come to London?”
No sane man wishes to see America
an armed camp of race against race,
but “coming events cast their shadows
before,” and the aspect of increasing
burnings, lynchings* and race hatred
on the one hand, compared with the
frequent and bitter outbursts of vio-
lent resentment on the other hand,
makes sober mmdSd men shudder as
they think of the future.
“Let us go to Prinkipo.”

GOVERNOR COX’S LAMENTATIONS.

'r'i&y
The charges and counter-charges being made against the re-
publicans by Candidate Cox can be tritely styled as his “lamenta-
tions.”
He is going all over the country shedding crocodile tears be
cause, so he states, the republicans are endeavoring to raise a big
campaign fund to “buy the presidency” and get an “underhold
on the government.”
He trotted out his data and information and at his best, he could
not make the supposed and reputed quota exceed $9,000,000;
despite his charge of a $15,000,000 slush fund.
As a demobratic candidate, he makes an excellent publicity
agent for the republicans and he has completely dodged the issues
raised by him earlier in the campaign in which the electorate is
more vitally and directly concerned and interested.
The democratic meal barrel is too empty to suit Candidate Cox
and he figures, no doubt, that it requires some howling and hippo-
drome stunts to relieve the democrats of a few paltry dollars.
He reads off a list of names and then calls upon Chairman Will
Hays td 'explain, but at last reports Mr. Cox has not told why
the liquor interests of the country are supporting his candidacy
and'why Tammany hall fought for his nomination at ’Frisco.
Really such conduct should be below a presidential candidate,
for men aspiring to attain the highest office within the gift of the
American electors should not pursue the tactics and methods of
the soap-box ward politician.
Candidate Cox should dry those tears and get back to his issues
a la Wilson. He reminds one of the ignorant preacher, who did not
know the English language trying to discuss Gfeek, Latin and
Hebrew derivatives.
While indulging in his “lamentations,” Candidate Cox should
bear in mind that a poor swimmer should not try to swim in deep
water.
■Wi\■’ • » , i . u‘ ♦
^he republican leaders should worry, as long as Governor Cox
continues to make votes for Senator Harding by his groundless
apd cheap charges and false accusations; we employ these ad-
jectives because he has been unable to substantiate his wholesale
m
One of the most insidious factors within our racial group is
that species of double dealing hypocrites—that type of pussyfoot-
ing mollycoddle who praises you to your face for your manly and’
courageous stand for race rights, human justice and liberty and
then on the back tracks of such commendation hies away to the
race’s enemies and condemns you on the same score.
’ ’ . • ' ' : V, ' ' ; f ■'
In persuing such a course they are base and malicious Cowards,
who strike below the belt and are dangerous to the social fabric.
There is an old adage which says that “any old dog that will
bring a bone wij.1 carry one.” - f ■
When a real man opposes your program and policy, he has
backbone and courage enough to state hi* opposition to your
*
face.
He does not seek and court your intimate friendship, ask favors
at your hands, partake of your hospitality and then try to knife
you when your back is turned.
The thing that made Brutus’ assassination of Caesar so repre-
hensible, cowardly and shocking was the fact that he was a dear
friend of the noble Roman chieftain and leader.
Judas Iscariot has gone down in history as the embodiment of
all that is traitorous ahd conniving indus
for he was an immediate disciple of th
should have been the last man on earth t
the hands of his arch enemies. *
No race that possesses a superfluous crop of traitors, pimps,
praters, parrots and double dealing and lying hypocrites can ever
hope to make any real progress.
Whatever advancement said race makes is short-lived and the
well-meaning and meritorious efforts of those essaying to ad-
vance the race’s cause are neutralized, negatived and nullified by
these internal foes, traitors, defamers and base liars.
Such persons are more dangerous than a snake in the grass,
for a serpent will sound a warning before attacking its victim. '
These dirty and diabolical hypocrites are a weight about the
neck of any race or people and the mean tricks and underhand
methods they will resort to and employ, render them a menace
to society.
Like the Greeks of old, they should be shunned even though
they bear gifts.

In the meantime Candidate Harding, despite the fact that he
sticks to his “front porch,” is daily discussing the issues of the
day as a statesman and is not throwing himself into convulsions
and conniptions over “slush” charges and irrelevant matters.
It is the duty of every man to carry sufficient insurance on his
life to the end that his family shall not want.nor depend upon the
charity of a cruel and cold world- for succor and aid after his de-
mise.
As a matter of fact, every person—man, woman and child—
should carry some kind of insurance in a dependable company,
for life is too uncertain and death too certain and sure to pro-
crastinate in such a grave matter. (
Some men (?) when asked to take out insurance on themselves,
remark that they are not going to leave their wives any money
to be taking care of some other fellow.
Any man who has a wife in whom he has such little confident
should either divorce her or crawl in a hole and pull the hole i
after him.
It should be a pleasure for any man to make ample provisions
to eliminate the necessity of his wife, daughter, sister or mother
resorting to unbecoming practices to eke out an existence after
his crossing of the Great Divide. -
Life insurance is an investment worth while and the man who,,
while living, willfully refuses to look out after the interests of his j
loved ones, even after his death, is worse than an infidel and those
who survive him should not shed a single tear at his departure.
No man, whether married or single, should so squander and
throw away his money that when death takes him away, the public
must be burdened with the expense of purchasing a casket and
giving him a decent burial. . ;
If you do not carry any life insurance, now is the time to get
busy and do so before the inevitable.

Frank Arthur, was killed Friday even
