Down here we don't care if all the Negroes are lynched, or even burned or slit open with knives. The outrageous, damnable, unbearable spectacle of lawlessness of the Negro is infinitely greater than would be the entire extermination of the cursed race by the white man. The Northern "nigger-lovers" are going to be forced to see our position some day. ELDON O. HALDANE Atlanta...
...whatever else might be said about it-and plenty has been said-surely there is no basis for characterizing it as illegal. In fact, without my amendment the apportionment bill is not constitutional. Section 1 of the 14th amendment of the Constitution extended citizenship to the colored race.

There is no "race problem," largely because there has been much intermarriage and "the colors have run." Besides 20,000 Hawaiian full-bloods there are some 25,000 half-castes.

To the eternal glory of her family and the Manchu race, Ye-Ho-No-La became one of the 30 concubines attending the young Emperor of China. But the latter was a degenerate. His energy was spent in painting the town violet. Ye-Ho-No-La's problem was to convert the imperial energy to her own use, to induce...
...fast but only came in second in England's great and fashionable Ascot Derby. The winner by two lengths was Invershin, a powerful seven-year-old owned by British Sportsman Reid Walker. Owner Walker, not as surprised as he might have 'been, because Invershin won the same race last year, purred as he was given the winner's glinting gold cup: "I am more than delighted for the horse rather than myself. He's such a gallant fellow and has such a beautiful temperament. . . ." Mrs. John Daniel Hertz, owner of Reigh Count, wife of Chicago...
