NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITY
hy not make an attractive park
g the east bank of Lumber river
,een the steel bridge at the west
of Fifth street and the site of
oid wooden bridge? The river
{ at this place easily and at
!i expense could be transformer
a most a tractive park, and it is
dly located to attract the atten
of passing autoists and invite
n to stop for a refreshing
ught from the artesian well that
rflows near the paved hignway
bridge.
^ passing tourist who had heard
Lamberton's artesian wells stop
iX to refresh himself the other day,

Hl aad when he found it the
ndings were not inviting,
iome years ago Mr. W. I. Link
v, moved by a fine public spirit,
ployed a landscape gardener and
de a most attractive place of the
lion of this bank south of the old
/n hall, which has been tom down
ently, but the town failed to keep
ap and jt gives no evidence now of
time and money spent in making
a place of beauty.
"he Robesonian hopes that §he Wo

aid be made a most inviting and
ractive place which would afford
asure to citizens of the town and
which the attention of tourists
ild be invited by conveniently

DISTURBED OKLAHOMA.
Governor Walton of Oklahoma may
be crazy, aa some people seem to
think, but there is tnethpd. in bis
ibadne#, ^d others weett ^ragy fhrst.
#e Ms proclkhned ' marHal law
throughout the State and says he is
determined to break the power 6f
the kian in that State or exhaust his
resources as Governor in the attempt.
He explains that it was necessary for
him to put the State Hinder martial
law to stop the Ku Klux grand jury
that bed been called to meet inO)t
iahoma City, the real purpose of this
[grand jury being; he said, "to launch
[a counter attack on my fight against
the kian". The Governor says that
[ 'the movement to take the pardon
-and parole power from the Governor
is being made for no other reason
than as retaliation tor the conviction
of floggers in Tulsa. 1 have sent four
tmep to the penitentiary from tulia
and 100 more are on the way. They
will not be pardoned or paroled."
Members of the legislature are
planning to convene a special session
to consider the Governor's official
acts, impeachment being considered
certain if a session is held. On the
other hand, Governor Walton is said
to be firm in his determination not
o give his enemies in the legislature
a chance to interfere with his declar
ed intention to "wrest the civil gov
ernment from the domination of the
nvisible empire and make the visible
government again supreme.'' He
threatens to send to jail any law
makers who attempt to hold a special
session.
Evidently they have fallen upon
evil days in Oklahoma, as they are
sure to do anywhere the Ku Klux
Kian gets strong enough to feel its
eats. The outcome of the fight in
Oklahoma will be watched with in
terest all over the country. ,,

NEGROES ORDERED TO LEAVE
Any negro who has lived less than
seven years in Johnstown City, Pa.,
must vamose and do it quick. The
mayor of that city has proclaimed it.
He says he does not give a hang
whether he has the power to do it or
not, that is the way it stands and
negroes must leave and no more must
come. And, strange as it may seem,
the world didn't come to an end.
Things kept moving right along just
like nothing had happened, only ne
groes got a move on them out of that
hostile town, where kome bad negroes
had kiNed a few policemen recently.
The mayor said be waswt going to
stand for the South CWnT{W!g its ne
gro trash into Johnstown ahd that
they conM go ba(^ down Sooth, where
thy* belong* WtMt wa^bMrP^n^tops.
of Ainu seeigg^how placesflikg Johns
town City have been pleading for
negroes to come an^L egye %h$m for
so long, and seeing how 4hey love the
negro so in that neck of the woods.
Well, any negro who has no better
sense than to go to a place liht Mma
town City maybe does not deserve
any hotter treatment than to be Or
dered pot.

'2TH ST. NEEDS ATTENTION.
At Some Paces Water Rons Acrees
Payed Sidewalk from the Street.
TO Mb EditOr of The Robesonian:
i wish yon would say something
about the condition of Twelfth street,
s nee they fixed the hole in front of
your office so .quick after you men
tioned the matter in your paper of
recent date.
The condition of Twelfth street has
been called to the attention of the
stree' foreman several times by me
and others living on the street, and
all we get is promises and disappoint
ment. At some places the water runs
across the pav&i sidewalk from the
street and renders the sidewalk prac
tically useless.
