...Nigger, the little yapping terrier bitch of Edward of Wales, † whined disconsolately by day, all last week, and howled eerily by night. Servants at H. R. H.'s bachelor quarters in York House, London, could not quite shake off uneasy qualms aroused by the dog's palpable terror and grief. Suppose, just suppose the little bitch knew, with feminine intuition, that her master would never return. Absurd-yet Master Wales had set out, last week, to journey a long way away-to South & East Africa...

Joseph Conrad's Nigger of the Narcissus tells of such a tempest as stirred the demons of the Pacific into an oceanic Walpurgisnacht off Central America last week. Two ships reached harbor safely at Balboa, Canal Zone. The freighter William A. McKenney lost a third mate, steward, carpenter, boatswain, six seamen, two cooks, the first and chief assistant engineers who were battening down tarpaulins and were caught in the abrupt rush of an enormous wave.

Last year their father shot out the eyes of a little white boy. We live in harmony with our good niggers-strange ties of affection exist between the white gentry and the darkies. There had not been a lynching...

...jail for 30 years hard labor. That was in 1915. That trash, Frank Collins, hadn't minded at all about Ben Bess and the woman, until Ben Bess decided not to rent his land any more. Then Frank Collins brought the charge that has lynched many a nigger. The Collins woman, old Maude, backed him up. They said Ben Bess had raped...

...milksop is bristling, ruddy, white-haired Whitney Warren, smart and picturesque Manhattan architect, who designed the new Library, and received from Cardinal Mercier the virile Latin inscription. Last week Mr. Warren was in Belgium bristling against the would-be emasculators. "The nigger in the woodpile," said he scathingly, "has evidently been my dear friend, Nicholas Murray Butler, President of the Carnegie Foundation for International Peace. . . . The people of Belgium want the inscription and I might add, a very large majority of the American contributors do also. ... In America the lives of so-called free American citizens are made unbearable...
