Belleville, 111., before Circuit Judge
George. Crow. Conspiracy whs ■ etrong
point liv which the state felt eon*, dent
of convicting the men.
Judge Crow admitted flvidnnca of
eonn|iiraj!v in the cu«.in a ruling, given
ju*t before court adjourned at 5 p.m.
Wednesday, which would tend to ahow
that euch n conspiracy had been or-
ganised. He offered the opinion that
if auch a conspiracy did rrixi every
person taking part in any of the event*
leading to the murder of Coppedg* and
Wodley wa* equally guilty of the
erime. "The net ui any person ia. I
conspiracy la the act of ■11," ruled
Judge Crow.
The elate only called one nor* wit-
nee* an tbia point after the ruling Bad
failed to prove ita contention.
Judge Crow alao rofuaed to permit

Much evidence *u introduced to
prove that Negroes were Been march-
ing around with guhn am-aaaafr pram to

fourteenth, and abaent one of the in

all of the etate'a witneeeee. He waa
referred to a» the "leader," and tea-
timony km given thai men were aeen

Of the thirteen men on trial, only

nearest place mentioned DM 15th St..
which ia Sve block* away, ll seem*
to be the coneensui of opinion of the
epeeta tore that the slate 1 * cane ia very
trial will probably be flniahed
by the end of thin week-
la the early netting of the eaae, it
waa aiated that the statu would prove
that tha Negroes atarted the riot and
by eo doing would clear the nearly one
hundred anil fifty white* who' have
bfin indicted by tho Grand Jury on ac
eount of the riot July 2. But owing to
kneaa of the atata'a case in the
tHal of the Negro**, it it now believed
that ail ef the white* will be con-
victed a* charge,!. It ia undented
that the trial of tha Indiated white*.

DARKER RACES IGNORED.
As much comment as there has been on the different problems
created by the present world war, strange it is that there has been
little, if any thought ai to how the general out come is going to
effect the various races in their relation one to. the other. The idea
advanced by the Caucasians, that the white race is and always
will be supreme, seems to prevail over any other that might at-
rmpt to arise.
' A little thought on the situation, however might cause some
/doubts as to whether this supremacy can be maintained regardless
of the length of the conflict and in spite of the tremendous sacrifi-
ces beiug made by all of the nations involved. Up-to-date more
than 10.000,000 white men have been sacrificed on the field of bat-
tle, and in addition, thousands have suffered and died, "because of
their proximity to the conflict and through the sinking of ships,
although there have been men of other races participating j n the
war, yet so strong is the inclination of the larger nations to keep
the other races out of it, that their casualties have been infinitisi-
mal compared to the white race.
This tendency to exclude the other races, is noticeable not only
in our own country where they are Blow in calling the drafted Ne-
groes to the colors, but it is also noticable in the attitude of France
and England. A few months ago, Japan offered to send 200,000
men to France to assist the allies on that front, but up to date we
notice that Japan has confined her activities to the far east, yet
France is crying for men. More than that number of Russians have
been transported thither, since the Japanese offer was made and,
every wind that blows to America bears the cry of "more-jne_n".
If this war is to continue for a very much longer timejt .the pres-
ent rate of loss and suffering; then it is inevitable that the white
race that is making these unprecedented sacrifices must "as a whole
become weaker in its relation to the other races than it was previ-
ous to the- conflict. Japan already has grown fat through her
commercial activities in Asia; China shows signs of awakening; all
over the world the darker races are beginning to realize that they
too are men and are forming in their hearts a strong desire to fill
a man's place and exert a man's right in the world's affairs.
Theytell us the war must continue until Germany is crushed.
The strength of the Germans seems to be like. a mill that is stead-
ily grinding. The allies are feeding their man-power daily into
This mill, so the question that the allies with their prejudice
should ask themselves is, how long will their man-power last?
THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCENENT
OF COLORED PEOPLE
70 Fifth Avenue. New York. N.
Ladim* and- Gintlemtn:
The St. Louis Branch N. A. A. C. P. respectfully suggests, and
urges, that your headquarters devises some concerted action by all
■ranches of the Association to the end of correcting the unfair at-
titude of the national government of the United States toward the
drafted colored men and the prospective colored officers of .the Na-
tional Army.
The air of indecision assuoaed by the war department in the
matter of mobilizing colored troops and the postponement in isau-
iag commissions to colored officers who have undergone prescribed
training, while it will fail in its evident purpose to belittle colored
citizemhip. is nevertehiess a widely .resented insult.
This hesitancy on the part of the National Administration
clearly shows either gross incompetency, which is improbable, or
eondemnable. gratuitous insult to colored citizenry, which ia in ac-
cord with so mach that has distinguished, and inspired contempt
for. this pressntadministration.
We believe that citizens who assume the estate of soldiers to
preserve this nation through the perils of war should be immune
from the insolences of those to whom the lottery of politics has
given, more or leu temporary, authority; and we urge that such
axiom be forcefully impressed upon the derelict officials at Wash-
ington as a plainly needed ethical instruction.
. . Yours Fraternally.

New Pythian Lodge Being Organized
Like ail the threat citizenship of St. Louie, we were electrified
by the mammoth conclave held by the Knights of Pythias
and Auxiliary in our city last month. One could not witness
the splendid exercises or read of the wonderful accompliahmcnntt}
ef this great institution without being impressed with the tremen-
dous achievementa this army of men and women are accomplish-
ing for the race. It has impressed us as one of the greatest
agencies for good which ia being forstered by our people.
We have taken muchjtJme to study the business methods of
this ordor and find it has a substantial Beneficiary Department,
founded upon a safe and sane insurance rats as recommended and
approved by the National Fraternal" Congress, and the Insurance
Department of Missouri, which is. doing much to relieve the dis-
tress of the worthy dependents of Pythiana who have fallen in
the Ranks. ■ -
We the undersigned with many others have decided to or-
ganize a Lodge and thus assist, and enjoy the privileges of the
many thousands who are now laboring under the banner ef Friend-
ship, Charity, and Benevolence. A special Dispensation has been '
granted by Grand Chancellor Lloyd underwbkh we can secure
membership at the low foe ef $4.50.

Tbese Psalms breathe the spirit of
the true patriot The Psalmist see*

•In* of the people, pray* for their
restoration to the Divine favor, and
with the eagle eye of faith anticipates
the Joyful day of aplrltnal und tem-
poral blessings because of rent oration
to the Divine favor. Doui.u.-sh such
patriotism 'would be pleasing to the
Lord on tbe part of as all.
Psalm 83.
I. Praises for Mercies Received
{vv. 1-B).
Praise Is given tor
(1) Deliverance from Cnptlvlty (v.
1).
He had In mind the ajwclllr merclee
of a given time; perhaps n was one
of Ihe oppresslona of the l'lilllsllnea
from which they had been delivered.
(2) Fdrglveneiu of Sin (vv. 2, 5).
■Thou hast forgiven tbe .Iniquity —
covered sll their Bin." Ood>. restora-
tion was the proof that he hud par-
doned. Great Indeed wn« Ihe sin of
Jiicob. but God'a forglvenes* n us great-
er. He la peculiarly a God of uercy.
lluving forgiven the Bins his iinner ia
tuken away. He stayed hla hand from
the judgment which would buve Justly
fallen, to show hii mercy.
II, Prayer for Restoration From
Backsliding (vv. 4-TL
He knew how worthless the outward
blessing* of the Lord would be nnleat
ihe people Inwardly turned to the
Lord. He, therefore, besought the
Lord to give (hem the a^reater blessing,
that of a change of heart Without the
change of heart forgtvencsa would be
futile. A change of heart can only be
by (iod's help.
Ul Tbnt God would turn Ihe hearts
of hla people toward himself (v. 4). ■
Knowing the people's utter helpless-
ness to turn to pod, be cried out to
God to save Ihem by turning them to
himself. He knew that God's anger
could not turn from Ihe people ■■ long
aa they were Impenitent
(2) That God would take away tbo
very remembrance of their stos (vv.
B-T).
(a) Tbe ending of hi* soger (v. B).
The desire seems to be that be would
wipe out tin- very marks of his dla-
easurn by not looser allowing pun-
ent at* a* anetaaVastt to than.
(0) The return to th* people'* Joy
(v. «).
Their Joy could only be realised
through n revival from Oe*L * Tha
Psalmist now becomes more bold la Ma
request*.
(c)Sball show them mercy (v. 7).
"Make It visible." la hi* cry. Gad*
Judgment was most real. Hla dedre Is
that hi* mercy would be jo*t aa real.
III. Exultant Anticipation (w, 8-13).
Having spoken the aentlment Of the
repentant people, tbe poet exx*esae»
confidence of fbe Lord'* response. So
faithful I* God that IboM wbo uln-
eerely pray (o him can go forward
with the assurance of pebtJona granted.
(1) "He will speak peace" (V. 8).-
He knew that a geotle uxurwer weald
come, but Its i continuance would de-
pend upon th" fidelity of the people.
Taming to folly would provoke again
hla wrath..
(2) Will bring hi* salvation near
(v. 0).
Only aa bis salvation waa nearronld
glory be In the land-
's} Devise a way by which "Mercy
•nd truth," '"nfgh teooaneaa and peace,"
may be united (vv. 10. 11).
He did not soggeat a way. He may
not have known It. Faith bow see*
the way In Christ. In Htm aach a
union haa been bleaaedly effected.,
a (4) The lend shall become fruitful
(v. UL
When sin la removed, temporal pro*-

nes* la doe to aln. s When the rva* Is
removed frultfulgeaa ahall follow.
(,')) BlghteouBoesa ahall be the

In that golden, glad age Ood'* right-
eous ways will leave a track la which
