Scott Comes to the Rescue and Secures Justice Special to the Defender St. Louis, Mo., March 1—There is one instance in this city which argues strongly for the Race having a representative at Washington to look after its interests during these trying times. Scot has proved true to his trust is indicated by the following circumstances: Jesse B. Short of Pine Flock, Ark., passed the civil service examination for clerks for the quartermaster's corps and was given an appointment to the organization.

He was promptly transferred to this city, where he has been ever since, and has won the respect and admiration of the officials and employees as well.

Shortly after the engagement, he shortened the date for Arthurton left Chicago for this city, and successive marriage dates were broken between the couple, because of Dr. Arthurton's failure to appear in Los Angeles. It is reported by friends of the physician that he witnessed serious injuries in adjusting his affairs satisfactorily, and after a day caused much public comment and forced Dr. Arthurton to make his journey to the coast hurriedly, thus greatly incapacitating his ambition to immediately launch in the medical field.

It was claimed by the De Priest faction that the women were strong for the Priest, but the dual count of the women's vote showed the major in the lead. Behind Jackson and his candidacy were the city hall forces, Mayor Thompson, Edward Wright, assistant corporation counsel; Rev. A. J. Carey, chief examiner of law claims for the city; George W. Ellis, assistant corporation counsel; Louis B. Anderson, Second ward alderman; George Harding (white) state senator; Martin B. Madleton, congressman. A false report was put out during the latter part of last week that Mayor Thompson was throwing his forces to De Priest. A Defender reporter calling on Edward Wright and Rev. Carey was given to understand that the mayor was not with the Von Hindenburg of the Second ward, but was with Jackson; further that the mayor owed no allegiance to De Priest because those who helped the mayor carry the mayoralty nomigation as nominee of the Republican party three years ago were Wright, Carey and Anderson and that De Priest and his gang were for Olson, who was then Judge. The Wright-Carey faction DELIVERED the Second ward to the mayor and it was the means of him being where he is today. On the other hand, DePriest was backed by Samuel Pettitson, corporation counsel, who, although he has a close friend of the face and was a close friend of the late Major John Buckner, he inspires, to the rumor going the rounds, to the student's seat in Congress. Another rumor that floated through the ward was Tiger Sullivan, the big maggot downriver to his aid to DePriest in return for the award Al Tennery and other Democrats in this ward during the recent years. During the campaign, charge after charge was hurled at the Jackson area at most cases, dwelt upon the issues at stake and ignored the personalities thruout at them by the DePriestenburgs. Tuesday automobiles were busy carrying voters to and from the polls. Towards riding time several trucks were rushed into the second yards to gather in those from the Seconde yards to coming from work and rush them to the polls. Never in the history of the Seconde ward has there been such activity in a contest. Judge Scully was seen by the reporter as early as 7 o'clock making sure to each voting booth, where double guards and police had been stationed.

A commission consisted of James Woldon Johnson, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, restorer of St. Augustine's church, Brooklyn; Rev. Frank M. Hyder, pastor of St. James' Presbyterian church, Brooklyn; and president of the New York branch. Mr. Johnson, who acted as spokes- "We come as a delegation from the New York branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representing the 12,000 signers to the petition, which we have sent to the president of the United States, come not only as the representatives of those who signed this petition, but we come representing the sentiments and aspirations, and sorrows, too, of the Negro population of the United States. "It is neither our purpose nor is this the occasion to argue whether this attitude of mind on the part of the representatives of the Race we desire only to testify that it does not exist. This state of mind has been intensified among white persons were involved through the Houston affair, and the regiment to which the Colored men belonged was offered entirely by white men, none of whom had been able to learn, have been prosecuted or condained. We desire also respectfully to call to attention that if there were mitigating circumstances for the action of these men of the Twenty-fourth infantry. Not by any premeditated action, but by a long series of humiliating and harassing incidents, culminating in the brutal assault, or Corporal Battalion action, or the frzenized action. This is borne out by the long record of orderly and soldierly conduct on the part of the restorers, without its whole history up to that time. "And to the end that you extend the elementry which we ask, we lay before you this petition, signed by white as well as Colored citizens of New York, to be president of a New York bank, 72 years of age, and a native of Lexington, Ky.

And we ask that you who have spoken so nobly to the whole world for the specific wrongs. We realize that your high position and tremendous moral influence, which you wield in the face of the greater force than could come from any other source. Our people are intently listening and praying that you may and it in your heart to speak that The President received the delegation very cordially and granted them permission to assure them, in effect, that he would carefully examine the record in the case of the condemned men and would take the whole attention, surprising incident at the interview was that the President declared he had not heard anything and asked the committee to state the facts for him, which the committee did. The President expressed the opinion that such thing had happened. The delegation assured him that not only was it true in the case at Estil, but similar incidences had happened at Penn, and at Dyersburg, Tenn., also. DR.

The winning candidate took the victory, and that his opponent has made a game fight. He realized the power of the Chicago Defender, and although he was not the other factor, he and prepared for the real campaign to come against the Democratic nominee, Jackson cautioned his followers not to brave too much about the victory, as other factions have sorely made a Race issue of the fight, might cause the 1,500 white votes in the race to go to the white candidate, regardless of the fact that he was a Democrat.

The majority of the aldermen ignore it; it was the president men among our people. Tuesday night, Feb. 19, Alderman Hill introduced a second "Jim Crow" street car. The provisions of the bill are both from the rear end, but the whites shall leave from the front end exclusively; that our people must use the road to right from the cars providing the traffic on the streets the seats parallel to the alley in the rear to be reserved for our people. Here is another chance for the old city to be made more lawful, to take the case to the United States Supreme Court. If it's unlawful for our people to be segregated in certain parts of the city, it's equally unlawful for our people to be segregated in street cars. Louisville people have shown more backbone in fighting for their rights than any other city in the country. Elder James M. Webb, Chilton Hill is opposing the passage of the bill.

McCormack with the Negroes to their perfect right to a hearing by him and stated he willingly gave it to them. He called attention not that no court has yet con- victed him, but that his chynchings of men of color, and ther- fore, he had not yet had an opportunity to know what will result from their inhu- dition. "Until these courts take up these crimes we cannot tell just who is to blame, and just how far the law will be enforced, and how guilty to justice," he told his auditors. Governor Rye explained that the chief executive of the state was powerless, and other officials of the state unless petitioned to by these officials, and said that at one time he made an effort to have a law passed which would give him power over the state in such emergencies, but his was defended. When conditions exist that menace the executive powers of a state from protecting men's civil liberty, the populace should rise up in a fervid protest. MURDER TRIAL POSTPONED Tulsa, Okla., March 11 — A large crowd gathered for the court house last Monday morning to hear the Rowo murder case and to see the principals, Douglas Rowe, who shot and killed his brother Webb, Sunny Browne, and his wife who is being held as an accessor to the crime, but the case was postponed until next Monday morning, when again the court house will be packed with armed spectators.

Oh, he's all right now; he had his barber treat his hair with Palm Cream, and now he is simply a dream. Our Palm Cream will not only straighten hair, but will keep it straight. Water or change of climate will not affect it. We have thousands and thousands of men today—men in all walks of life throughout this country, South America, the West Indies and various parts of Africa—using our goods. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods in his own home town. He often has to seek fields far away. But not so with us. We have succeeded in our home. If you know a barber in New York, write and ask him what he thinks of Palm Cream. Palm Oil is an accessory to Palm Cream, as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful. If your hair is harsh and dry or brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is sick, stubbord and will not grow it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy mess used by so many people for the hair. It is dry and neat; it will not grease your hat, but will give your hair that beautiful, silky, glossy effect so much desired by everyone. Big inducements offered to agents. Special rates to barbers.

They say we can get any newspaper for from one cent to five cents a copy, but the premium Sun of Righteousness. To these people we say that the newspapers you buy from one to five cents a copy are paid for before you get them by advertisers who pay from one dollar to space they use up on the paper in advertisements, but this is not so with the Supreme Sun of Righteousness. It is not a common public advertisement sheet, from one dollar to ten dollars per inch is used up with Supreme news and information coming to all its readers that nobody has paid for but the publishers pay from one dollar to ten dollars per inch all its readers. You can see then it is the cheapest paper in the world after all, as every inch of it is worth a dollar for one and so on. If you pay one dollar in inch for each inch of the paper, just four pages of it would cost you or each reader over six hundred dollars. If you get it for one dollar only, to help pay the cost of its publication. If a postal card from Tobacco smokers and tobacco chewers of an army Europe informing the American people that a person has been received from the people in America, is sold for Three Hundred Dollars ($300), as it is in Providence RI, or in Plymouth, MA, in paper informing the people of the world of the present mind of the Almighty, ought to sell or be worth Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000). And if a postal card sent from Europe giving direct facts as to how much money the people have received from their friends in America in the beginning of the war in that land is worth Three Hundred Dollars for sale of it, for that amount in Providence, recently, then a newspaper sent to the friends of the holy warriors of the world, gives facts as to how and on that kind of God is now willing and will give His people victory over the devil and his angels, forever and ever, ought to be sold for $300,000,000, a copy, and a man or woman that would not pay one Dollar for a copy of it will not forgive them, whether such people get any tobacco to smoke or any bread to eat, for I am sure that there is no lasting victory for the selfless people can ever win for God or for the just and innocent of mankind.

The Grand Now on their third big week here, the Smarter Set Co., headed by Salem and the Smarter Set Co., are surrounded with a great cast, is drawing in an undiminished manner. That this attraction must be maintained for three consecutive weeks speaks louder for than any writer that the writer would be capable of framing. Still, we still think that the offerings of this fine group of performers is a credit to present-day theater, not those their efficiency stand out upon both sides of their department off stage is of a Tony Langston Tony Langston character that makes them objects of respect by all who come in contact with them, thus giving this long engagement the routine of weakening, and as a consequence a great many of the admirers are "repeating," as they realize that "My Person is not be replaced by something entirely new in the season. The show is hooked solid for a long time ahead. This end of the business is handled by Mr. Collins, one of the best of all advance men, and who we have has been selected by him throughout the season, never been gone over by a Race attraction. The Defender wishes all concerned the best of luck and assures its readers located in the towns that the show is being held, they are in line to view the best musical comedy attraction on the road today. The Avenue Valyda & Brazilian Nuts were the feature act of a strong bill here the last half of the past week. This act is an entertaining blend of the show business, and the manner in which it "stopped proceedings" here, show after show, tells why it has been the most successful tour of the most select time of the tour of the Orpheum. Valyda herself was a hit with her song numbers, in which she demonstrated the double voice that she has been known for, a speedy and stung presence and is a finished artist. The plapo work of Norma Thomas is a sensation, while the dancing and clean-cut. The act is a fast, look-up, and is chassy in the extreme, all working in full dress and the business on the finish—that did the business on the finish—that called for a short curtain talk by Valyda. Some act, well say, Ikoma, a physical marvel, was the first on, and the act was unique as it was difficult. Duffy & Ingals, with a bride and groom routine of talk, more than pleased with the business, a dashing sourire, had an entertaining bunch of talk and songs; Harry Dixon, with a piano, dot well, a comedy eclipses, closed the bill with their sensational work on the wheels. The bill here the first half of the present week is a fine one and includes Anika Arliss & Co., Jackson Cole, Akira Arliss & Co., Simmons, Simpson & Deep in Van Hagen. The Monogram There is a bill here to conjure with this week. All headline acts and far more entertainment is varied and more than the act brings back the popular Johnny Woods and his wooden-headed partner, Little Henry, who have not written any songs for a day. They have a brunt new line of talk and songs, and are as big a hit now as they ever were on their face-full, everything considered. The three Jazz Girls, who have just finished a fine tour of the Consolidated time, in which they played more than the more comedic folks like it in the most approved style. The Taylor Sisters, who were seen here some few weeks ago, have now been acquainted as Edwards & Edwards, dancing pairs seen in a long time. They have a good act and one that sent a fine bunch of reports ahead of it, bringing it up side and down the other. More in line sure has a show to feel proud of.

The fact that Brenon, the producer will whet your appetite is The story tells of the murder of a millionaire man about-town, whose body is found on a tenement roof in New York City, and whose hand is clutched a long strand of hair. This is the only clew, and the rest of the romance deals with the unintended mystery. The plot keeps the story within the limits of copper-hatred beauties committed the murder, until it relieves the suspense near the finish of the film. It is a hard-to-find story, which the author handling. It is a yarn about rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief to say nothing of [pretty girls]—good and lovely. Loose hair, hot stuff, rough stuff, scars, scars, scars, make "Empty Pockets" the real stuff. While there is a wonderfully strong cast in this great melodrama. It is a star presen in the film, while watching it on does not think of the players, for they do not seem to be actors. Brennan does not bother much with the characters, types, types are what I insist on, he and "Empty Pockets" proves him right, "Make-up," says Brennan, "won't make an aristocrat of a placebent, nor a gunman of a placebent, nor a blunder, as well as love by the barrel, will be realized when you see that a hunter's daughter, an adventurer, a gunman's wife and a sweat shop worker, But see for yourself, and remember that it is to be shown to adults only.

ALPHA BIG FIVE LOSES TO HOWARD UNIVERSIT Manhattan Casino, New York, March 1.—One of the largest crowds of the season turned out on Washington's birthday evening to witness the basket ball contest between Alpha Big five and Howard University, which was big. The game was hard fought from start to finish, many brilliant plays being executed. The great "Cum Posey," until recently a member of the Montclair-Delance Rifles of Pittsburgh, played in the game, making many difficult baskets. Alpha, which has been playing poor basketball all season, seemed to take on new life with Posey in the game. Their team work was good, but they were not making many chances to pull the game out in the last half. This, coupled with several fouls, explains their defeat. Howard played a consistent game all season, but the cure of "Posey" for fear he would run wild, which was amusing and kept the spectators in an excited state until the final ball sounded. In the preliminary contest Alpha Big five defeated the team, scoring 31-20. Prof. Doug's N. A. Orchestra was on the job and the merry makers danced until an early hour.

Though the single battalion was in command of Major Joseph Moss marched with his men along Fifty-seventh street.

The arrest of Holloway resulted in a United States Commissioners' Mitchell Canadian Wins Honors; Decorated by King George St. Catharines, Ont., March 1—As far as is known the first Canadian of the Race with the overseas forces to be decorated by His Majesty the King is James Grant, more familiar known as "General," a citizen of St. Catharines, who enlisted with the 49th battalion was later transferred to the 23d Howitzer and the 24th of his bravery is well told in a letter received from M. J. Gordon by his parents. The letter reads in part as follows: "It is absolutely impossible for me to give you any particular, but we have done some traveling of late. I have seen more of France and Belgium within the past few weeks than I have seen some of the majesty of Canada in comparison. Someday I will be able to tell you all about it." I am sitting at present in John M. Hancock and Tom Bradley's dugout. Tom Bradley is the major, as Sergeant Major McLaughlin leaves in England. We have a little quartette in the battery now, and I am going to home up among us, so we have a buggy, Bung, Lee and Watson, the other members. We generally divide our boxes from home up among us, so we have a little sing, and vice versa, and after each we have a little sing, and we have some little quartette, too. When we were we would strike a town where we would strike and would then strike out to see if we could find a piano. Watson plays exceptionally well on the piano, and Buggy line violist and leading the jobs. The "General" "Old General Grant is an honorary member and goes all around with us and gets the bold voice working away times." "Long before you get this you will likely know that 'old General Grant' had been decorated with the Military Medal and are all quite proud of him." The story is all about the gun of E sub-section was put out of CAMP LOGAN HOUSTON, Texas, March 1—We are all smiles again, now Uncle Sam home, now U.S. Yes, that's it.

THIRD COURT MARTIAL The third court martial growing out of the outbreak of the Negro soldiers at Houston is now in progress at San Antonio, where some more colored soldiers found guilty of a breach of discipline and shot. This is well enough so far as it goes, for it must be maintained in the army, no matter the occasion to violence may be. But in the course of three court martial trials ought not the real facts of the outbreak to be ignored, dismissed, and the provoking causes rebuilt. Everybody knows that the colored soldiers did not run amuck of their own accord, nor invite the firing squad for their assault. But they must make the situation intolerable. Why is not that something brought to the light of day? Why are not the citizens of Houston who provoked the assault to mild censure of official publicity? The United States is commissioning colored men as officers in the army, where a colored officer wearing his uniform and observing the etiquet of his position would not be safe. An assuasion upon officer of pride in the armed services would be the punishment meted out to the colored soldiers? Why are other citizens of his free country instructed officially arresting the right-wing enlisted men, and informed officially what will and will not be tolerated in the way of fault or assuasion... the general subject of democracy for the world, why should we not iron out what few creases remain in our garments, and observe them at home? The Des Moines Register. SOLDIERS PROTEST AGAINST OFFICERS' TREATMENT Little Rock, Ark., March 17—Because a white noncommissioned officer selzed a soldier of the 512th engineer service station after a severe beating, over twenty-six soldiers arose in revolt in the mess hall and threatened to start a free-for-arms attack. The white soldier was removed from the hall and officially punished. According to official reports the troubled sergeant attempted to choke a soldier who claimed refused to take his place in line while breakfast was being issued. Sergeant attempted to the match, but the fray when other white corporals and sergeants interfered. Absolute order has maintained throughout the station since the fray has been removed, and it is reported that army officials are seriously contemptifying removing all southern white officers who are in charge of troops of color. Soldier Killed in Fight for Whistle Soldier Killed in Fight for Whisky Camp Logan, Texas, March 1—A military officer, a desire to beat up Autumn Grant, a civilian, and the attempted threat to shoot up a residential district, where no whites reside, ended the military campaign, and the 123rd field artillery. He killed when he made an attack on several civilians. Scott was armed with a heavy loaded stick and a bayonet that he dealt in seating all enemies in the city. Citizens claim that he exhibited several bottles of whisky and drank freely on the street corners. Scott was hailed Austin Grant on the public highway and asked him for a pint of whisky, whereupon Grant replied that he was not a bootlegger. Scott, who was already in the struggle with Grant, and in the struggle is alleged to have struck with a heavy instrument and killed. He was a resident of Furmount, Ind. And Grant is in jail charged with the crime, but has made no confession. Division Trains Leave for West There were 28 division trains to leave for somewhere in the west. Over 200 were young men from the South. Many of them speak several different languages, one a fluent speaker of Italian, French, German and Italian. He has a splendid chance for promotion. PAGE SEVEN action they were in Belgium, and another gun had to be sent up to repair Moors, so six horse units under Bob Morris and Bob Bauer with Drivers Buschle, Loo and Grant were detailed to pull a new gun into action through a spot which was always pretty hot, and it just happened motor torrle, blown-up wagons, etc. Fritz was shelling very heavy, and when they got to the point (a cross-hair on the ground, a suicide to pass, it looked as if they wrecked as a couple of vehicles were blown up across the road and there was the smallest kind of space to get through. Corporal Morris ordered the horses and Buschle, to unlock and go back to where they would have more cover for the horses and themselves, as it was utterly impossible for a six-horse team to get there, there was a chance that the wheel team, driven by 'General', might make it, so John Miller and the 'Genius' Morris want to get assistance to man-handle the gun, if necessary. He returned without any success, as no one would help them or could help them, and although he had been gone hardly right back. Grant, the Man "Old General" and John Miller had manhandled the gun through the small space, and it was quite simple to pull the gun and fire. He teamed and bring the center and lead teams up, lumber on and carry on. Of course, every one of them did as much as he could to be decorated, and as the "general" had done several little things before this, Corporal Morris, when asked by someone who the thought the man should be given, said, "They are going to prepare a big dinner for all of our brigade, and the boys as if it is anything like last Christmas, so you can buy them as you can buy in London or Paris."

RESOLUTIONS SENT TO ILLINOIS CONSULTATION LOW-LOY SHIP LEAGUE The following resolution was adopted and passed by the Negro Fellowship League Sunday, Feb. 17, copies of the sent to Congressmen Mudden and Mckenzie and the Negro Lewis. This action was in keeping with the suggestion given by the Defender last week which urged all associations and societies to send their Washington resolutions which would tend to demand for the publication of the findings of the congressional committee which investigated the E. St. Louis riotes. Whereas, The Congressional Record of Feb. 4 reports that Congressman Ben Johnson of Kentucky, chairman congressional investigating committee of East St. Louis riots, stated that he would print the entire testimony and photographed that investigation as it would cost about $5,000, and, besides, it could be and stored in the file room; and. Whereas, the reason for the appointment of $15,000 was the result of popular demand for an investigation to die the blame and correct the evils which caused this shameful affair with the subject of putting an end to the violence and horrible outreaches; therefore, but it. Resolved, That the Negro Fellowship League donates this effort to bury the result of the congressional committee's findings, and asks of Congress publication of the entire document photographs and findings resulting from the sitting of this committee during the month of October, 1917, in East St. Louis, Ill.

Why Are Allen County Leases the Most Valuable in Kansas? It Requires Less Money and Less Chance to Produce a Barrel of Good Oil. Note proof to right: Compiled by the Oil and Gas Journal of Tulsa, Okla., published in the Oil and Gas News of Kansas City, Sept. 27, page 23: Here is a chance for a ground floor investment. Oil land is sold on a basis of one thousand dollars per barrel production. Wells surrounding our territory started from one hundred to four hundred barrels per day. The Superior holdings not far from us have a settled production of over three hundred barrels per day, which places the value of their holdings at a half million dollars. A ten dollar investment in this company may be worth from a thousand to two thousand dollars in less than ninety days! It costs only from eight hundred to a thousand dollars to drill shallow wells.

Again Oil is the reason, read about the Trapshooters' Company, brought in huge gushers at Eldorado, and made $40,000 for each investor. Perhaps you read the headline in some paper: "Twenty-three Kansas City Men Millionaires by Black Gold From Eu-Wells," and the story that followed of how Hale, the former railroad conductor, made fifteen million dollars. Again, you may have read of the amazing career of Harry Sinclair, who rose from a drug clerk to a multi-millionaire in a few short years, and how in only eleven months his interest earned nearly ninety million dollars. There are scores and scores of cases like three in oil fields. It is said in Tulsa alone there are 160 oil millionaires and hundreds who are rich from oil. The above is what the white man has earned by investing in oil. These men were in on the ground floor of these companies. They bought stock when these companies were first organized. These were white companies and were principally organized for white men. SQUARE DEAL OIL & GAS COMPANY Colored concern.

It is the first oil and Gas Company in this section of the country organized and incorporated under the blue sky laws of the State of Missouri, and controlled and managed exclusively by Negro men. Suppose, now, we strike it rich. Anybody who can add 2 and 2 can surely see that this company won't have to divide its profits between fifty million shareholders. It is easy for a small company's stock to be worth from fifty dollars to one hundred dollars for one, whereas a fifty million dollar company might be very rich and rarely ever pay a big dividend on that amount of stock.

Please note this—the Square Deal Oil & Gas Company is not a fifty million dollar corporation. Neither is it a million dollar corporation. Neither is it a $250,000 corporation.

Suppose, now, we strike it rich. Anybody who can add 2 and 2 can surely see that this company won't have to divide its profits between fifty million shareholders.

MAJOR JACKSON WINS On Feb. 26 a majority of the Republican voters in the Second ward selected Major Robert R. Jackson as the Republican nominee of the party to represent the ward in the city council for the next two years. The Republican voters of the ward are hereby congratulated by the Chicago Defender in choosing Major Jackson as the standard bearer of the party and the ward. The contest was one of the most memorable in the history of Chicago, and is unique in the history of the Race in the North and the nation. By the nomination and election of Major Jackson the Race formally assumes the official responsibility for the political conduct and conditions in the ward. The Defender takes pride in urging all good Republicans to unite and make certain the election of the Republican candidate, and co-operate with him to meet the just expectations of the country that our Race make good in this high and new development of democracy in the second largest city of the continent and one of the first cities of the world for the development and prosperity of our people. In rejoicing let us remember that the eyes of the city and the country are upon us, and that in this high function of control we can neither falter nor fail, for the future status of the Race in this nation depends much upon how we conduct the affairs of the Second ward. With this fact before us, let all Republicans and the Race do their best. AND A LADY APPLAUDS SOME IGNORANT PERSON made the assertion that Americans were not fully civilized, that they resorted to modes of punishment that would put to shame the most fendish in the Dark Ages. But, of course, little stock can be taken in such an assertion, and the author is shooting wide of the mark, for it can readily be seen ignorant people could not devise such unique instruments of torture nor would they have the brains to put them in effect if they knew about them. No, the American people represent—in their own mind—the highest type of civilization. Germany is credited with committing atrocities the like of which the world has never seen. Germany is at war, and slight allowances should, perhaps, be made on that account. In Tennessee recently a man was burned at the stake; it was said he shot two other men. Note he was not accused of "the usual crime"—an attack on a woman—but the cause matters little; the effect is the same. Usually the "best citizens" take part in these round-ups, and when the victim is caught he is tied to a tree and burned for a while with hot irons to make him confess. But who cares whether he confesses or not? The crowd has gathered to see the fun and it must not be disappointed; so the wood is piled high about him and after one of the ladies (?) present makes a speech requesting that the torch be applied—a request usually seconded by other ladies (?) present—the brands are lighted and these highest examples of modern American civilization watch a fellow creature writhe in agony and cry out in despair till hushed in death, without a dissenting voice. Webster's Unabridged Dictionary defines civilization as "the state of being refined in manners from the grossness of savage life, and improved in arts and learning." Who knows but there may be such a thing as a refined moh, composed of "colonels." "Southern aristocracy" and the ever present "best citizens"? Who doubts, after seeing their work, that they have improved on the art of torture practiced in savage life and made it more friendish? But let us see what the same authority has to say about barbarian. Here it is: "Rudeness of manner, savagism, incivility, ferociousness, a savage state of society, etc." The American Indians were savages, but before being corrupted by the vices of civilized men were remarkable for their hospitality to strangers, and for their truth, loyalty and gratitude to their friends. It is a pity the modern savages did not inherit at least a few of these Indian traits. But perhaps we must not expect too much, taken as we were some few hundred years ago from so-called barbarianism and set right down in the center of so-called civilization; we should ever be grateful to our benefactors. There, though ignorant, we had the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; here, thought educated, we have no rights the white man is bound to respect. In certain sections of this democratic land our destiny seems to be in the hands of the mob, and a black face is all the evidence needed of (?) in the assemblage applaud. If this is civilization, give us barbarism. WONDER of a match could be arranged between Jack Johnson and Villa and have it staged in the center of "No Man's Land," so that both sides could see some real sport. NOW THAT THE PRIMARYS ARE OVER and some of us are satisfied with the results, let's get back on the job of putting the kaiser's men under the table.

Ethics of Calling Your Doctor In calling your doctor you should make it a rule to call him before his office hours, or during his office hours with the understanding that he will your engagement as soon as his office hours should first of all ascertain the telephone and address of your physician and his office hours—the hours at his home, if he has any office hours at his residence—and the hours he is to be called to.

Exercise the omission of any reference to "Prussian brutality" from this column for just one day. We Americans in the proud and civilized state of Tennessee have just burned 100 people in this interesting performance should take our minds off Prussian cruelty for a while. The Negro was not accused of "the usual crime," an attack on woman, supposed to explain her brutality. He had shot two men and wounded a third. When they get him they tied him to a tree and burned him for awake with his hands to make confess, something—which is going some distance back in history of justice. Then they piled wood around him and burned him up And, note this retiring touch of civilization; a lady made a speech requesting the burning of the Negro and other ladies seconded the motion.

In answer to such a question as, "What is the matter with Mr. Kimbusky?" we state that is none of your business, with the following exceptions: the sick person is relative of yours, including the expenses of his sickness, you are due some consideration; second, if the sick person is an employee of yours or bears some close relation to you, you pay the bills, to know what kind of sickness you are paying for. But, outside of these two above mentioned exceptions, it is really bad ethics—bad behavior, your part to ask a doctor, "what is the matter" with a person that is in no wise related to you, as above mentioned. It is doubly contemptible and ill-timed, your physician on the phone and ask him what is the matter with Mr. So-and-So Mrs. or Miss X. People do not care to have their physical defects or ill-health among people or their neighbors, their physician; and any physician is justified in insulting you and in telling you that it is none of your business as to what is the matter with his physical and mental thing and most profitable thing for you to get busy and keep busy attending to your own business—and this is really true. What would you think of your business, if you should tell your neighbors, or if you should tell Harry, for what he is treating you. often we have heard people remarked would employ Dr. --- in our family, but would be ashamed to meet him, and would not talk to him. And another expression is, "I would not have Dr. X, because I heard that he tells his wife about every person he treats and for what he treats him. And he never visits our Dr. W, M, because he never visits our neighbors and we never meet him socially, and if he talks, we never hear of you know, as he is not of our kind." The real reason is that you do not want Dr. X, and Dr. W, M, to discuss your sick and health affairs, and not discuss the sickness of other people to the extent of hauling the attending physician on the street, or waiting on the doorsteps, hallways, etc., to ask doctor what is the matter with your sickness. And the matter did you operate on Mr. So-and-Su."

HEATHENS LYNCH BUD COSBY Fayetteville, Ga., March 18 A crowd of white heatheads seized "that" Cosby, hung his body to a tree and riddled it with fire. The police said the danger to a huge crowd by an automobile party. He was accused of entering the home of Mrs. Burney McGee, a 70-year-old year-old baby. It is reported that Cosby was admired by several white women in the vicinity and certain facts were about to uncover when the baby was carried to the bride's patch after the lynching in order to frame up a fake story that the public would gather up. The parties who came out of the crime are "unknown to the law."
