NO "JIM CROW" TRAINING CAMP OR SOUTHERN OFFICERS In the east Major General Wood of the United States army has started a movement for a separate military training school in the east to look upon it. Every man in the east should look upon with disdain and oppose it. There should be no segregation in an army of the United States. If there should be one and all, the men of the east must also especially editors and writers, should sound a death knell to this "Jim Crow" proposition, which will not be tolerated in east and south and should be opposed in other countries all men of all colors and nationalities serve on the same army and fight for the same flag because it does not segregate or discriminate against men of the east as one. No longer members of the faces should be looked upon as cooks, but as citizen-soldiers, wearing the rank of captain, and discriminating in discrimination herded against them. Of war a number of southern whites are getting it in their breasts to lead our men to the battle field. In the past they were not trained in the army themselves to be a lot of chain drivers and we advise them not to let a southern man command them to be your military army be led by members of your officers. Be led by men of the north, who treat you like humans, and not southerners, who treat you like slaves.

RICHMOND COUNTY CONDITIONS HORRIBLE; CITIZENS WILL LEAVE Houston, Tex.

If the teacher lives in an apartment examination they must furnish the Sulant with a photograph: if the picture happens not to be one that is good looking, straight hair and "pleasing" to the Sulant, it is returned with some frivolous excuse. The state of affairs have empire. The state of affairs have rifefulness that the people are about to take active steps to stop it.

The sentiment against the Sulant and growth of the people are preparing to leave the county and will on May 15, leave and go with the GREAT NORTHERN DRIVE.

CAUSE OF PETTY CRIMES AND EVILS OF THEIR PUBLICITY Occasionally some persons of good intentions try to work girl problem and make the girls' wages are so low that they are virtually forced into prostitution in order to dress up to the standard required by their positions and make other ends meet. They are often been instigated in periodically for a number of years, but once has there appeared a champagne of the Negro. No one has dared to contend that he is underpaid, as a rule, and the possible exception to the failure of the government cause arise out of the agitation over the evils of tipping in the Pulman service. Kubernetes escape their attention because their ego is on the ground, as a rule, to the copy for the white paper, and the纸 papers assume an attitude of infidelity. The attention of the coalition can be largely collected by cold reporters taking on themselves the men of giving out news which they might be of general interest to the public. Be done in a way to imbalance of the harm news of by crimes does. the crimes committed by Race men he bullied by the white press are a variety of a trivial nature, and in many cases he traced to a low standard of conduct. In some cases, lonely hard wringing. In many cases it does wrong under the apprehension that he is denied a man's chance to an honest living and commits thefts to secure what he feels he easily needs; yet, when he is caught, raidless of the good there may be a criminal under the law and given the charge of citizenship. We cannot, of course, correct conditions which aggrate this situation; but we are compel to caution our people against cohitting depredations because we are committed for what we naturally do, what that other race fails to do, since they do not do all that is right in the case of a crime. We are argument for our failure to live up to standard required by society, although there are extinguishing circumstances which indicate there is good reason for some of us failing to do so. J. M. FATIMA THE PROMISED LAND The poem, "Bound for the Promised Land," written by Mr. M. R. Ward, caused such universal appreciation not only in the south but all over the country that readers of the Defender made a request that it be republished. This tone and the poem was read by M. R. WARD more than a million people. It is one of the contributions that has aided in the great northern drive which takes place May 15, 1917. The poem is an outburst of heart of W. Ward to better the conditions of his people in the southland. ONE "GOOD LIAR" DEAD Down in Bogalusa, La., the whites rule the town. What they don't want they will not have. You couldn't go along the street and stop and talk to a "yeller" girl, especially if some of the people out of town. Members of the Race there can not sell magazines or periodicals on the street, if these crackers do not want them to read them. That is one reason why John Reece and a hundred others would not buy them, because no matter what kind of a flock you make see there will always be a "black sheep" in it. It is not in color, but in principles. With Reece came W. J. Pierce, and doing nothing, he came out of a man. Down home" he was known as a goodigner. Here it was the survival of the fittest. Pierce laid around the saloons, got drunk and caught cold. It soon developed into pneumonia. He was taken to the hospital, and his heels to the sun forever. In other words, he died. His death did not affect the whites. They never lost sleep over Pierce—not those crackers. It was simpler—not those members of the Race who were leaving such large numbers that the business men with their own work to do, had a story printed in one of their daily papers that Pierce said that dresse, pneumonia, was a disease that was out of town. If Pierce did say so he was one of the most perfect lars that ever lived. Invites All North The Defender invites all to come north. Plenty of room for the good, soler, industrial men. Plenty of work, soler, industrial men. Plenty of work, will take care of you. When you have served your 90 days at hard labor you will then have learned how to work.

Don't let the crackers you you join the ranks of the faint. Cast the you free neck. See the light. When you have crossed the Ohio river, breathe the fresh air and say, "Why didn't I come before?"

MORE BUSINESS WANTED The crying need in our city is a number of stores to be operated by our own people. There is a need for six shop stores, twelve grocery stores, six meat markets, several halderdsers and several food stores. We enter business the stronger we become and politically. In the past there has been no backbone to the Race because it lacked capital and business. Today we are moving on but with not much rapacity, we are not able to patronize the stores we have. We also need men of business acumen, experience and capital to come here and open up the above named stores. Men in other sections of the country who have experience and capital will find this a splendid field. The men of business acumen, experience and capital the city operated by our people and there should be ten. The population on the south side is growing and some of the money spent should go back into the stores. The ones who spend it and not all to the stores are the men of business acumen. The Defender urges that such stores opened up and also to patronize those who give employment to our people. The success of the individuals who will open up any of the above stores will be the success of the store they open and service them. A neat market, a just class shop store will do as well as the next man, perhaps better, for more and more are beginning to realize that business, banking and service, are the things that matter strong and vigorous people get them the rights and privileges they are entitled to.

I made three trips to a little girl who carried a policy in our company and the premium was 15 cents per week. She made a few excuses and on the last day she finally confessed her inability to bring on and led up to further facts. She stated that her pay was only $1 per week and she acted as nurse and maid for one of the most prominent white families in Athens. They gave her only meals per day, which consisted of less than $10 of old clothes were she in prison; at the old weekly she was given from 25 to 50 cents and possibly a pair of old shoes or a hat or an old dress that was not worth throwing in the scavenger's wagon.

ANOTHER REASON WHY THEY LEAVE Baton Rouge, La., Feb. 9—White people are asking themselves why are so many of the Race leaving the south? Their eyes never see such conduct of a section, officer, one who lord in this section, officer, one who kill, shoot and murder whom he pleasures was talking to a fine-looking woman, well dressed. The officer's eyes filled with feaiousy. He arrested the man for disorderly conduct. The policeman was on a horse; he dismounted and hudled off the horse who walked behind in mud and water on a street. When the officer came to a paved street he spurred his horse and started him to run, and the poor man hid to run, and was out of breath when he came to the station house. People all were in a circle, though there was a circus in town. Courtroom, and the judge fined the poor man $10 and costs. People who thought it was wrong remonstrated to the chief of police. He laughed at them. Still, the white south wonders why so many of the people are leaving for the north, where people are treated with deceyny and respect.

MORGAN'S FINISHING CO. 8204 Harlem Ave., N. E., CLEVELAND, OHIO Prompt Attention Given Mall Orders Incorporated 1914 My Dear Mr. Editor: The case of Dr. Giles is before the people of Chicago. It bears a vital relation to the color problem of the nation's its final termination will help or hinder the future of the country. To the question presented there is but one solution in harmony with the triples of true democracy, justice and the absolute equality of American citizenship. The facts of the case are that Dr. Giles is a Negro of character and medical attainments. By civil service examinations he was placed in position in one of the public institutions of Chicago. After much opposition he was finally assigned to his merited place, to be discharged on account of color, without being permitted to enter upon the performance of his duties, on the pretext that the patients in the sanitarium refuse to be served by him. On the eve of his assignment the Tribune wrote an editorial admitting that he had trained physicians, but a thoroughly trained physician, but that race presidence is a fact and a condition and that pleasant relations that Dr. Giles accept another place. Then the Tribune is a surrender to race presidence and thus gives just alarm to the thinking people of both races. The Tribune writes that he cannot accee when it further admits that it may not be consistent with American principles. If this admission is correct it cannot endure, except at the expense of American principles and institutions. It is dangerous as an example. It announces to the world that the white race prejudice rather than right. This view broiled the world in its greatest war and placed on trial the civilization of Europe. If it obtains it will undermine the power of the people and influence of the American people. If this view had have succeeded slavery would still curse and menace our country and the tribe the tribe would never enjoy the freedom and artery of speech which it so courageously exhibits on every great question except this one, but for the valor of men like Lincoln, the brave men might be free and act justly and without prejudice toward their fellows. This view is dangerous to the well-f-rs of both races in Chicago and the country. It denies to the nation the power of both races in contributions. It encourages ignorance by informing Negro citizens that race prejudice will not tolerate in them the higher employment of education and learning among the poor and arouses in Colored citizens it depletes the ranks of the upper Negro classes and forces this group to ways of vice and crime. By increasing crime and ignorance, it provides for protective and penal institutions, and jeopardizes the peace and safety of both races in American communities. It seeks to establish a racial aristocracy, founded on the idea that justice is imposed with such a heavy hand upon the white and black people of the nation. This view undermines American patriotism. It tries to exact of Colored citizens equal loyalty and allegiance, and forces them equal protection of the laws in the management of the opportunities and advantage afforded by the nation. Colored citizens are not unmindful of this paradoxical situation involved in the treatment accorded them by their white fellow citizens. They are not upon Negro patriotism. The strength of any people depends upon the solidarity and homogeneity of its population. To thus alienate the affection and patriotism of ten million citizens is not only a violation of the law, but in some fateful hour to preserve the nation for humanity and civilization. This view keeps up ill-fellow between the races and prevents that concord and cooperation progress and prosperity of both races. The intelligent Negro knows that all races are naturally equal. The inequalities of individuals in different races is due to the unequal opportunity. That the white race is naturally superior to other races is an outgrown superstition, from which the white race is removed, and similarly from the country, is the Negro processes, unless race prejudice is overcome, race antagonism must increase to the ultimate detriment of both races. Race prejudice is calculated by the cause it is wrong and unjust. Slavery demanded the blood of thousands before it would surrender. If race prejudice in time comes, will be found sufficient men of courage and sacrifice to cleanse with their blood this nation of its greatest stain. Upon this great question the white too good under; the white race is too wise to fail. GEORGE M. ELLIS. Southern Girls for Housework Rochester, N. Y., Feb. 10—The State Employment Department hopes to effect polarization among women in the problem by co-operating with Rev. L. B.

Some have painted the picture full of dark, foreboding clouds, others have let the sunlight in and have not attempted to cross the bridge because they are afraid to make realize that something is going to happen. An upheaval of the labor market can fall to affect all sections of the country. Whether the colored man's condition will be improved or not depends in a great measure upon our own actions. As much as the North has been looked upon as an oasis in a desert of prejudice, we have forgotten prejudice turks everywhere in a more or less degree, and the stronger is the more prejudice in parent freedom, to mistake privilege for right, thus not only making it hard for themselves, but for others more discerning. It is the duty, therefore, of every pastor and every good citizen to guide and direct these newcomers so that their asset rather than a liability to; the community they select for their future home. In this respect the following resolutions, recently passed, by an uplift society under the auspices of the Russell Sage Foundation, are of particular interest: the availability of, whether in the city or rural community, organizations be formed to work together, good feeling between the two races; to study the health, school and work needs of population; to develop agencies and stimulate activities to meet those needs; by training and health protection to increase the industrial efficiency and to encourage labor force involvement, especially in regard to hours, conditions and regularity of work and other wages; to increase the respect for law and the orderly administration of justice. IN THE NORTH that similar organizations be formed, or existing organizations urged to take action, which, in addition to the purposes already mentioned, shall seek to instruct the migrants. As to the dress, habits and methods of living necessary to withstand the rigors of the northern climate. As to the efficiency, regularity and application demanded of workers in the North. As to the dangers of dealing or going with unscrupulous or vicious persons and of frequenting questionable or unprompt opportunities offered by the towns and cities of the North in schools, hospitals and employment. As to the facilities offered by the church, Y. M. C. A. and other institutions. As to owes this to himself as well as to the newcomers, for what affects one affects all, a perfect understanding comes with contact. We were all put into this world for a purpose. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is the keynote of the whole situation. It is your burden. Will you take it up? STANDING BY OUR GUNS THE DIPLOMATIC CRISIS WITH GERMANY has brought the country to a full realization of our position in relation to the warring countries. Much fun has been leveled against the President for his so-called "wishy washy" policy and his "too proud to fight" methods. But it must be admitted by the sober-thinking people of all parties that notes are better than bullets and we have nothing to please or aid one of the other warring factions. It is true there is a principle at stake, but are we in a position to enforce our rights at this time? Germany undoubtedly feels that one country more or less to fight at this stage of the game means nothing, and if she can prevent neutrals from sending supplies to her enemies even at the cost of severing friendly relations, it is the one thing left to do. This constant talk of being unprepared does not strengthen our position with other countries; it has made our position weak, if anything, Mexico, and we are overly great concern. Japan is making requests that are akin to demands, on the worst of occasions, to clear of treading upon England's.toes. A rather ticklish situation and one that requires thought on the part of Washington officials and every citizen throughout this broad land. The American people are not cowards, but prefer a settlement with the pen rather than with the sword. If it must be the latter, every mother's son will shoulder arms to keep the old red, white and blue from touching the ground. And this includes every able-bodied colored man, regardless of the fact that the white man is oppressed, the white man is parasites and unit for citizenship. As we have often said—and perhaps we may in a position to prove—when we fight it is not the white man's battle, though he may get a lion's share, but our own. THIS IS OUR COUNTRY, the only country we know, and we do not propose to allow anyone to take it from us. There is a feeling that will steer over us at times of utter indifference as to the fate of our oppressed people, so failing that they come out calling to those outside of someone else's hand. It is a feeling that is only brushed aside by the charity toward all. We have sacrificed our all in the past at our country's call and if it is necessary to still prove our worthiness to hold citizenship, we will again be found on the firing line standing by our guns. THE KAISER SAYS peace will come with the sword, and proceeds to make his word good by strengthening his forces all along the line. It is evident that the allies are seeking to crush not only Germany, but in so doing place themselves in a position where they will dominate our country as well. We are supposed to be neutral, but it is only a supposition, if we are to judge by the voice of the press. To formulate peace terms that will meet the approval of all the interested powers is an impossibility, but some middle ground can be taken, as suggested in the President's message. CAPTAIN STEPHEN K. HEALY, who has been in command of the Stanton avenue district, where vice has been flourishing, has been transferred to the Warren avenue district, and Captain Wesley H. Westbrook placed in charge. Westbrook succeeds in clearing this district of the objectionable places he will have done more than any of his predecessors. There is no question but what he does is to refrain from being interfered with by the powers higher up. We are tired of the notorious actions count. THE WATER WAGON is getting to be a very popular conveyance. A great many states have already climbed in, have taken a front seat, and now Illinois is attempting to hitch on behind. The Bruce bill, designed to take whiskey out of saloons, is practically assured of passage by the state legislature. Alaska, it is not a party measure, so no opposition may that line is met. Liquor might be all right in its place, but its place is not in the list of beverages. DO NOT COME NORTH with the expectation of not meeting whites reeking with race prejudice, as they are at the South, for we have them. We have great cosmopolitans who are as low in their morals as the lowest southern white papers and as low in their morals as the lowest southern white papers cell here, but we have a chance with these devils who are against our advancement to fight back, and that's half the battle. THE WEATHER MAN spreads the glad tidings that it is to be a long, hard winter, and the coal man grins and raises the price of coal another notch, while you say something not found in the Bible. UR TO DATE the optimistic suburbanite hasn't reported the sighting of the first robin due, perhaps, to lack of nerve with the thermometer hovering around the zero mark.

South's Bad Treatment Editor of the Defender.-Sir: I am well in health, but not in mind. I am displeased at the way the white people carry on things in the south. I saw a man and his wife get on a street car, and the conductor did not help the woman of our Race, but as soon as a dirty dago got on he gave her his assistance. I saw another poor woman with a child and he held her up to give her a lift. When the conductor had word to say to our people, they talk like dogs. Let us hope that this sort of thing will not happen always.-G. G. R. Monroe, La. Race riding in two it was arrived was a dis him- Weak, Sickly and Short-Lived Race A few days ago while we were riding on an Indiana avenue street car a conversation was held between two gentlemen. One of them, no doubt, arrived in a German who had but recently arrived in a white gentleman who was a white gentleman of this city who displayed his dexuse ignorance by proclaiming that he knew a great deal about the health and other conditions of the Negroes. The German in his native tongue required concerning the scars and wounds he artiual in Chicago. He inquired as to how many and as to their health, condition, etc. Whereupon the wise white gentleman informed his German friend that there were from 75,000 to 100,000 Negroes in this city in great carloads every day. The German remarked that if such be true then there should be many more than the 100,000 of them in this city. But the wise white man replied, there are easily about more than that, because Negroes are a weak, sickly race of people and die as fast as they come into large cities—yes, in all large American cities you will find that they die in a trap. Then the German man replied that Negroes do so fast, and the other informed him "that all Negroes die of consumption—that they were a tuberculous situation that the Negro contracted consequence as soon as he arrived in a city, that they were rapidly multiplied, and that in a few years the race would be extinct." This is another one of the damnable lies manufactured, published and circulated by the prejudiced American white men the purpose of injuring the economic inable and social conditions of the Colored man in this country. The Heir is Not Dying Out For fifty years we have been told by the prejudiced, uninformed white men that the Negro mortality rate was greatest with birth rate. If that be true, how can the American white man count for the Negro mortality fifty years ago we had just a little over four million Negroes and today, by the figures of the white man, there are over a million in this country; and yet the Negro is still weak, consumptive race, dying out more rapidly than his birth rate. The Nearp Soldier The Colored soldier in the United States' Army—of the four regiments, 24th and 25th infantry, the 9th and 10th cavalry, their siege and death rate, acco-mpare most white man's own report, compare most faithful reports, the best regiments, eck. of the white men in the U. S. Armyservice. This is also true as regard, the U. S. Navy. The Chicago Survey Just recently there was a partial report of the Chicago survey of eight square miles for tuberculosis. It was found that, according to the figures of the white race, as reported by him in his white press, that there were in alarming numbers of people working classes of the white people; there were consumptives in an advanced stage all around and abound some of them cooking, some making salads in first class hotels, others handling and dishing up food in the best hotels and restaurants; some victims of the white scourge were white hence no one became alarmed. We have been engaged in the examination and treatment of tuberculosis in one of the "MYRTLE ANDERSON!" SOCIETY WOMAN'S CLUBS PAGE Society YOU HAVE READ MUCH THOUGHT SOME But Now Is Your Time to Act!

Lloyd's Double Ties Count in the Ninth Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 9. - In the opening game of the baseball season at the ball park the nines representing the Royal Polliniana and Breakers hotel team play one run each when darkness put an end to the sport. A big crowd was present for the opening contest and was more than pleased with the showing of the team, which was especially pleasing after the last game, the past year, when the Breakers had matters much its own way with the Indianapolis A. B. C. nine, causing the management to get the American team to represent the Royal Polliniana hotel. The game developed into a pitcher's battle right off the bat and remained so until the end. Padron, the Cuban, the Chicago boys, was on the job in the opener, facing Joe Williams, who did so well for the Breakers last year, and who showed by today's game he was still a pitcher. Padron pitched the clina nine negotiated but three base, hits off his delivery. Padron was hit safely five times. (The Breakers scored first in the third when Padron pitched out to pitcher. Wallace flied out. Poles lined out a two-bagger over third and came home on Hewitt's double. Second, Santop out at first completed the innings. The Pollinaca team tied it up in the ninth when Barber singled to center and moved to second on Duncan's out to first. Charleston then fanned, but Lloyd's double over third scored Bar CHARLTON "Y" DEFEATS ALPHAS "CYLACO" DEFENDER NEWB.SERVICE Brooklyn, N. J., chb. 9-Alpine Big Five and Carlton Y. H. C. A.

Jackson making five baskets. Perry, the star forward, played at Al game in his regular position. Y. M. C. A. presented their famous lineup with the laces. In the second half it was all Jackson. As a range finder on baskets he is it. Referee Yates was knocked out in the middle of the game. Perry for Alpha was the whole team. Gerry for Alpha was the only man in shooting to the baskets, but easily made up for it in being on the spot always. During the final three minutes of play both Carlton and Alpha made the European war look like a fantasy. The final score was Carlton 22. Alpha 20. In the preliminary game between Carlton Juniors and St. Christoph Cubs, as a game as could be wished was played, the score at the second half 9. St. Christoph Cubs 12, Carlton Juniors 9.

Boxes 3.00 WRECKERS, WALLOP THIRTY-SECOND, 14-1 Twenty-fifth Wins Easily First of Special Series for Post Championship Schofield Barracks, Jan. 22.—The first game in the final in baseball at Schofield Barracks came of yesterday before a huge crowd of fans, the Wreckers winning by the score of 14 runs to 1. Throughout, the Thirty-second game was outlasted. The Twice, in host the toss and went to bat, chanced up four runs in the first inning, five more in the second catch and a few more later. The winners played a bunting game throughout, which gave the Thirty-second infield a hard time of it. Mashaw and his teammates identified had expected to meet a hand-hitting offense, but were double-crossed by the change of tactics in the unexpected attack of the Rogan crew. Rogan pitched in his usual good form, which is enough said. The game was it memorable owing to the fact that it marked the return of Crafton, who had been in the ground since breaking a leg in the Saratoga series. His work was very good for a player who has been out of action for so long. The lone tally of the losers came in the last half of the ninth, as the result of a passed ball. This cheated the dandy shut-out game. The Twenty-fifth round recently finished in a tie for first place in the big post series and yesterday's game was the first of a best two-out-of-three special series to decide the championship of Schofield Darracks. basketball teams in the past this year they got so well off the field outsiders. Larry indals defeated the inspirators they used to this season until the season in the Du Pont metadam News tried to have, but it was use- at to the basketball world. We mean they agree to play Lincoln University a neutral court, and they meet most Philadelphia. Chesty old New Yorkers have dozens of excuses for losing a game away from Manhattan. Casino. Well, why don't they lose Jones and they play Manhattan. Casino is their home court. They wouldn't have a. ghost of a show on a neutral court with Lincoln University. They would have a. future St. C. Alpha and the Spartans, too. Also they could easily afford a guarantee large enough for either Chicago or Cincinnati to play in New York, but they would have to that they play each other. Then, why the champions? BENEFIT FOR GRIFFIN PROVES BIG SUCCESS Brooklyn, N.Y. Feb. 9. The monster benefit for the unfortunate prize fighter, "Dancer Griffin," staged at the Vanderbilt A.C. Tuesday night was a tremendous accomplishment. Griffin was many sporting men from New York city came across the bridge to hit swell the fund and to help a boy who was the idol of both races in Greater New York. Griffin was the first man to every respect and had done his part to put boxing on an equal basis in this city. Wha's Griffin fighting days are not over unless blood poisoning sets in or a dreaded relapse crikes him. he will never be so bad, as long as boxing is an attractive sport we welcome more boys of Griffin's career to fill his place. Brooklyn's sponsoring fraternity should highly appreciate the man as boxing as man of the Carbon Inn on Fulton street, who was directly responsible for the benefit, with the aid assistance of the manager and matchmaker of the Vanderbilt A.C. The correspondent advocates a ban on two gentlemen for their charitable test. JERSEY CITY TEAM WINS CHICAGO DEFENDER NEWS SERVICE Jersey City, N.

Arthur Thomson's "Introduction to Science," I was particularly impressed by one passage in that delightful little book. This is the passage: "Science is no 'preserve' for the learned, but the birthright of all. We must never think of it as something printed and ponderous and more or less finished, but as something living in our mind and influencing our work." As a matter of fact, most people habitually think of science as something printed, ponderous, and confined to the learned. The average man will tell you bluntly, "I'm no scientist." Perhaps he is more of a scientist than he thinks. He may know nothing of astronomy, botany, zoology, physics or the other special sciences. Nevertheless, he truly is a scientist if he attacks his own personal problems of everyday existence in the spirit with which "professional" scientists attack their problems of study and research. And the more he attacks his problems in this spirit, the greater will be his chances of winning success in life. For this reason everybody ought to be scientific. To be scientific, means, in the first place, to be eagerly desirous of acquiring knowledge. The truly scientific man is the one who is intensely interested in learning things. If he is a naturalist, he wants to learn all he can about birds or animals, insects or fishes. If he is a banker, he wants to learn all he can about the banking business. If a mechanic, he wants to learn all he can know about the trade he has taken up. He is not content with a smattering of knowledge. He studies tirelessly. And he thinks hard about the things he studies. WIVE STOCK IN UNITED STATES INCREASE IN VALUE OD Washington. Feb. 8.

He insists on thinking for himself. And he really thinks. Then he acts in accordance with the conclusions to which his thinking has led him. As Benchara Branford finally puts it: "Science is born anew in the deliberate will and intention of each of us when we succeed in thinking about the principles of our work in a clear, logical and systematic way, and courageously put our conclusions to the test of experiment." But hard thinking must always precede acting if a man would be truly scientific. And the hard thinking itself must rest on a solid basis of established facts. The scientific man never jumps to conclusions hastily. He is above all things a cautious, patient worker. Always he keeps in mind Darwin's maxim, "It is doggedness that does it." He knows that he cannot become a master of knowledge, cannot reach the top of the ladder of success at a single bound. He knows that he must make hustle slowly if he would be sure of getting to the top. He accepts, this as part of the natural order of things. Therefore he does not allow the prospect of slow progress to dishhearten him. He does not whine complainingly. He does not rebelliously or despairingly let himself get into the habit of working half-heartedly and in a routine, mechanical, unthinking way. No. He keeps on working hard. He keeps on observing, studying, thinking. 'The passion to learn remains ablaze in him. And thus he gradually wins his way nearer and nearer the top. This is the method of all true scientists. Let it be the method of all of us. Tish an Thei OHIOAGENT DEFENDER NEWS SERIES New York, Feb. 9—Some game, all closing, some basketball, thats all, that does not tell.
