"We have, if we have observe a reasonable and practicable economy, allowance with which to apply the tods of these associated with us as well as our own." President Wilson in his Thanksgiving Day proclamation published this week. "Enough food for all. We have and will retain sufficient food for all our people. There is no economic reason why there should be excellent prices." - United States Food Administration, in a statement given to the press today. Why does any section of the United States continue to feel it impossible to obtain sugar, coal, or any other necessary? And why do reasonable prices continue to be a theory of government rather than a fact of family experience? - Christian Science Monitor. GREENFIELD - The Eastern Union Ministerial Institute, which convened at Shiloh Baptist church, was quite an interesting affair. A number of good speakers attended, among them being Rev. J. K. Swaan, of Columbus, who was full of the Holy Ghost, and Rev. Lowery, of the institute. If you are not acquainted with him before by delivers a sermon you will never forget him afterward. With the out-of-town guests were Rev. and Mrs. B. W. Clark, of Middletown, who were royally entertained by J. W. Johnson.

An old and a very true sage is that "a life will steal and Piel will lie." This is a worth remembering SHALL WE HAVE A REAL DEMOCRACY America must be the leader in real democracy. Great that it cannot be made solely by semi-democratic. The internal conditions that must be met in America are similar to those of Great Britain. Ireland must be satisfied in America, the south must be better treated. In doing this it will be necessary to overturn long established customs and many bad practices. Many states must be altered so as to conform to the democracy this nation is fighting or. This democratisation of the south is no longer a principle to be left to but section to change but it must be set apart and separate by the whole country. The south must place its electorate on a fair and impartial basis, so that no race can possibly be discriminated against. If it is wise to have a restrained ballot in the south it be had, but in so doing, don't unintentionally discriminate against any man or race. The forcing of all political parties to leave the south because of the avowed purpose, if the latter to have no righty, so far as the democratic party is concerned, should be stopped. The elimination of our society, as well as our other holdover, is an evil that lies at the very bottom of all the troubles at that section of this country. Where are two races so nearly equal in a section as the two peoples are in the south it is a crime to place either race wholly as the mercy of the other, especially when such bitter hostility has been as exists there. The courts of the south are entirely free from African influence on jurisprudence of being a southern court are run by "white" men for "white" persons and primarily for all our people. It is an unwritten law, in almost every southern state, that no member of the race must dispute a big bake a "white" person may tell. This is made it so that no Afro-American may expect justice, if it in any way conflicts with any wish of a "white" person. The refusal of Gov. McCall of Massachusetts to honor a remission from the governor of West Virginia recently because in his opinion no member of the race could get a fair and impartial trial in West Virginia, when accused of a crime touching "white" womanhood is based upon facts of past history. Any governor, outside of the south, who recognizes a revival from a southern governor, touching any accused Afro-American is simply playing into the hands of the southern man. It should not be so. This nation is in harmony bound to see to it that JUSTICE is given an American citizen everywhere more especially at home. The Jim-crow law of the southern states appears now. The state that railroads must provide equal accommodations for both races. The southern people thoughest prevent the roads from doing this very thing. They demand that our people be relied upon in this race. Continued on Page Two, Col. Three ```markdown ``` Prominent Physician and Politician Former Member of the Rendville Board, of Education, Etc. Columbus, O. A. - few months ago our people of the state were making their tremendous light to keep Dr. Leroy Bundy from being extirpated and finally old opened in holding it up for many weeks. This undeniably saved Bundy's life, for had he been sent back to E. St. Louis, FL, at that time he, too, would have suffered the fate of the hundreds of our people massacred there at an earlier date by not so very many. Among those we worked so voluntarily for Rev. Charles Bundy son at that time trotly and willingly, and without pay, were the editor of The Gunzie and DE J. L. Johnson, who is credited to the credit for securing the invaluable services of the Hon. T. S. Hogan, ex attorney general of Ohio, as attorney for Dr. Bundy. Mr. Hogan required to accept pay for what he did. This is the best assurance one can have as to the kind of race man Dr. Johnson is. Such a speech best for one and explain why he is regarded as a fellow physician and politician. Dr. Bundy served for years as a member and leader of the Board of Education of Redmond, before coming to this city; was appointed a trustee of Willberforce University in 1970; Harrison and has been transplanted to Gov. Cos. From 1971-1977 he was secretary of the board. Dr. Bundy enjoys the friendship of the districted men named and about that of S. Senator Pomeranton, Chief Justice Nikolai, Chairman Finley, W. W. Durkin and many others. His life here is ideal, made so by a wife who is legitimate in every respect. This reads as No. 522 E. Long St. GLORELL A. MYLRS Denies "Startle" Statement, Res. R. L. Bayliss, "Labored" Communication, WILF Bayliss, Crable and Bailey Have To Go? Cleveland, Nov. 29, 1917. Hon. H. C. Smith. Editor Longue. Dear Sir, Ordinarily I pay no attention to newspaper comment or criticism, but I notice in your issue of the 24th article which is so preposterous and ignisect unfair. I am writing you to say there is absolutely no truth in the statement that I所收到 a message to the minister or questioning me have I authorized any person to represent or speak for me. Frosting you will give this 'equal prominence in your next issue, to the article's an question, I am. Very truly yours, GEORGE A. MYERS. Relative to the foregoing, The Gazette wishes to say that "Starlight" Boyd told the editor of The Gazette that Mr. Myers did so. This the latter denies. It is, therefore, as far as The Gazette is concerned, simply a position of certainty between "Starlight" and Myers. It is now in order for the former ("Star") to say whether or not he spoke the truth when he told The Gazette "that Myers had sent Charley Gordon to him to tell him that his (Myers) was doing all in his power to assist him (Boyd) to get a license." Sneak in, "Star!" he game! "Star" Gave Bayliss Money "Several Times" A minister's reply to charges made by the Gazette. In the last week's issue of "The Daily reliable" messenger, Ms. wrote as The Gazette the writer with two other ministers was charged with selling their influence to "Starlight" Boyd. I deny the charge. First, on the ground that "Starlight" Boyd never asked me not to testify against Lim. The charges against Mr. Boyd was made by the Thonor License inspector, for which I could not testify nor against. I must admit that I am wholly ignorant of what goes on in any of the schools in the city as I have not visited them. I declare, as my testimony that I should not be for or against any saboteur, would be invalid. Nevertheless, I can DR. LEROY N. BUNDY'S HEARING, THIS WEEK! Our People of St. Louis Standing By Him and Others. East St. Louis, Ill., Massacre Cases Being Considered in the Courts—The Legal Talent. St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 20—The arguments in the case of Dr. Leroy Bandy, charged with murder in connection with the shaking of Policemen Wadley and comedge in East St. Louis in July, will be resumed to day in the Belleville, Ill. Circuit Court. The case was originally set for last Tuesday, but his attorneys asked a change of venue charging that Dr. Bundy could not secure a trial in St. Clair county. Judge Crow granted the defense ten days in which to validate their claim. It is not achieved the state will seriously contest his point. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. is in charge of the case and is raising funds for this purpose. This organization is making a common fight or all the men brought to trial because of rioting, who have legitimate claim for protection. The local organization is made up of the most intelligent, influential and capable men in this, and they are as competent to look after these cases as any organization of equal membership in the country. They are men and women of pronounced ability and they have the support of the national organization. In their last report it is shown that Dr. Bundy's father and Mrs. Bundy's parents have ab- say they are unsavory and a menace to any community or city. Thus, I conded that I am misrepresented. Further, it was not stated on the witness stand that "Starlight" gave me money not to testify against him. Whoever testified that we gave me money for my influence did not know what they were testifying to. Thus, I feel that *The Gazette* has been misinformed and the charges *The Gazette* has made the public believe are infounded. The writer, nor the other ministers did not sell their influence to "Starlight" Boyd. We had no influence with the Liquor License Commissioners. Two years ago when the Ministers' Alliance protested against the commission's granting "Starlight" a license to run a saloon on Central avenue, we were ignored and turned down. Thus, you can see our influence with the Liquor License Commissioners to put him out of business. Mr. Boyd has giggle me money several times; but whatever his motive was, he alone knows. He never once mentioned that he wanted me to defend his business; neither did he ask me not to witness against him. It is evident that an enemy entered the church, Sunday morning, by forcing the door open, and left some bills charging the pastor with selling his influence. This enemy under the guise of graft condemners, published the bills failed to sign their names. If they were as sincere as they pretend to be about the pulpits, why did not they call an indignation-meeting and have the ministers to face them and answer to the charges? We want all the saloons closed, regardless of friend or foe. If the Liquor License Commissioners had charges against Boyd sufficient to revoke his license, why call on the ministers to give their ministerial influence. When we asked the Commissioners not to put him on us, they laughed us to scorn, but when they wanted to move him they use the ministers as their instrument of moral force. The four daily papers published that Mr. Boyd gave three ministers money, but did not charge them with bartering their influence. The Plain Dealer said the ministers let Mr. Boyd know they were against his business. The four dailies were fair, but "the old reliable far-seeing" Gazette who discerns the intention of Mr. Boyd and the pledge of the ministers, makes the charge. Now, if The Gazette would be fair and just to all concerned, it will admit that it has been misled. Whatever Mr. Boyd or any other man has given, or may give me, does not change my attitude toward evil. Hoping this will give satisfaction to all I am. Respectfully, [REV.] R. L. BAYLISS. 2158 E. 31st St. City. "Brother" Bayliss in his labored communication, which precedes this, shows that he knows' almost as little about newspapers as he says he knows about saloons. More than this, he also shows plainly that he did not even read carefully and intelligently the article in our last issue to which he repeatedly refers. For, if he had done so, he would know that "the old reliable" Gizette has not charged him, or any other minister or person, with doing anything of the kind (selling influence, etc.), but that this paper merely published the testimony of our ministers and others, witnesses on the stand before the County Liquor License Commission, Nov. 16. 1917. Bayliss, Crable and Bailey admitted on the stand, when under oath, that they accepted ten dollars each from "Starlight," a saloon-keeper whose license was being held up and against whom had been beiled, among other things; a protest from our Ministers' SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS N.

Contributions should be sent to W. H. Huffman, Sec-Treas, Pythian Temple, 3137 Pine street, St. Louis, Mo. About $3000 have been collected, to date. Rapid developments are expected when once the Bundy case gets in motion. It is possible developments may be of a starling nature. The local branch of the N: A. A. C. P. has retained several lawyers of large legal experience and of wide and honest reputation. Associated with the white attorneys is Attorney-Homer G. Phillips, a member of the race, who is also a thoroughly capable lawyer. The cases, which have already been tried, are expected to go to the U. S. Supreme Court. Although our people at East St. Louis were sufferers and victims, several hundred of them having been beaten and killed, the result of the legal processes thus far has been the conviction of ten colored men with sentences of fourteen years each in the penitentiary. On the other hand, two or three white men have been convicted, and given long sentences, and only a few days ago three of the white men charged with rioting were sentenced to thirty days each, a sentence which in some parts of the country is often imposed for being merely drunk and disorderly. Alliance which these same three "worstiness" signed with live or six more of our ministers. How much—"influence" of any kind—any one of the three named had or have (to sell) is a question, we will leave to our readers to determine. Badliss is wrong again when he makes the statement that "The Gazette has been misinformed." Nothing of the kind, brother. What it published about you and the other ministers named appeared in the three (not-four) daily papers of this city and has stood without contradiction or question for more than two weeks. What we would like Bayliss, Craigle and Bailey to explain is, what business have "ministers of the gospel," taking money from as saloonkeeper of any kind, so placed as was "Starlight," week before last, and largely too, as a result of Rev. J. S.-Jackson's protest which they, with other members of the Ministers', Alliance, signed? It seems to The Gazette that on their answers to this question should rest whelthor not they are to remain as pastors of Lane Memorial C. M. E. church, Mt. Haven and Antioch Baptist churches, respectively. As far as The Gazette's treatment of them is concerned, they have every reason to "pat themselves on the back," for it certainly has been "too easy on them." DOINGS OF THE RACE S. C. Burk, former police magistrate in Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. L., is a lieutenant of colored troops in the English army, serving in Flanders. There are no Afro-American troops in France, as yet. The assessed value of property owned by our people of Georgia has increased from $5,764,293 in 1880 to $12,322,003 in 1890; $14,118,720 in 1900; $32,223,985 in 1910 and $38,234,523 in 1916. We hear "Let all politics stop during the war." We see the democratic national committee arranging by zones for the congressional campaign of 1918 and the presidential election of 1920. The advocates of republican party non-resistance seemingly desire to see the party Bolshevikized. Bryant Peebles, age 77, of Barlow Bend, Ala., owns 4000 acres of land, which he recently refused to sell for $100,000. He is illiterate, but also has 80 head of horses and mules, 100 head of cattle, a gin and grist mill. Harry T. Burleigh's arrangement of the folk-song, "Deep River," has become so popular that a number of transcriptions have been written. One for string quartet; played by the Zoellner quartet this season, was made by A. Walter Kramer; another, for organ, was ably done by the gifted concert organist, Richard Keys Biggs, and the last transcription of the "Spiritual" is by the noted violinist, Mischa Elman, who will play it on all of his concert programs this season.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1917 PRJUDICE "Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature."—John Stuart Mill. It used to be said that they asked for bread and received a stone. It should now be changed to "that they asked for coal and received—pronunciamentos." The stock of coal on hand in this country is estimated to be enough to last for three days; the stock of sugar for three weeks; the stock of whiskey for three years. A cynic estimates the stock of credulity on hand to be enough to last three decades. The municipal elections did not dispose of Socialism. Socialism is not a local issue. Yet in this city its candidate for mayor polled 21,378 votes to 86,530 votes for his four opponents, or one vote out of every five. Next year when a state and congressional election is to be held, a better line on the extent of the Socialist movement can be had. PROTECTION DURING THE WAR PROTECTION DURING THE WAR A Democrat asks what good protection can do during the war. We are pleased to have him ask the question in that form. It indicates an actual belief in his mind somewhere that under normal conditions protection can and does do good. It certainly offers some protection against the cheaper labor of India, Japan, China and certain industries in South American countries. Even among the warring nations imports have ceased only from Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey. It has never been denied that a protective tariff protects, in war or in peace. It has never been denied that a protective tariff is often an effective revenue raiser. And when the American people are assuming colossal war taxes one has to be a pretty rabid free trader if he would not be willing to see a part of these taxes raised by a high tariff off of the foreigner. There are several goods which a protective tariff could do America during the war, which the Underwood tariff is not doing. WISDOM THEN ATTRITION The war policy in Europe seems to have been to wear out Germany by a policy of attrition on the western front while the eastern and southern fronts were left to take care of themselves. It was supposed that this policy was due to the exhaustion of the French or the lack of necessary war equipment. It now seems that this was from a lack of vision, which permitted Germany to hold the allies in deadlock on the western front while it whipped them everywhere else in detail. Now comes Lloyd George and makes confession. "The war has been prolonged by particularism. It will be shortened by solidarity. Half the men who fell in the vain effort to pierce the western front two years ago would have saved Serbia, saved the Balkans, and completed the blockade of Germany." And he might have added, saved Russia and made impossible the invasion of Italy. It is to be hoped that there will be a higher genius after America gets into the war than to win by mere attrition on the western front—trading an American life for a German life until Germany's man power is worn out. WE WERE UNPREPARED Criticism of England, France and Italy does not come well from us. They have held the enemy at appalling cost of blood and treasure while we have been getting, ready. It is not yet time for us to boast grandiloquently about how we will put the war over where the others have failed. Colonel Roosevelt, who has a right to criticise because he was ready and prepared to fight, has this to say: "We have been at war three quarters of a year, and the drafted men, admirable material though they are, are only just beginning to be trained, and as yet are not even armed and properly clothed. We are trying to train our soldiers to perform the duties of soldiers after the war has began, and we can attempt the experiment at all only because the English and French protect us now from ear enemies while we make it." Wherein is that statement wrong? Our deplorable failure to make even the most elementary preparation while the world was on fire, estops us from any lofty criticism of those who have been fighting our battles for us since war became inevitable. MISDIRECTED ENERGY It is not at all surprising that when the nation had been plunged unexpectedly into a war which we had been assured we had been kept out of, much of the long-delayed preparation has been expensive and wasteful. At the time when we could have prepared deliberately, we were assured that we had not neglected preparedness and that we were ready to defend ourselves to the utmost. We went it blind in unpreparedness, and now we are largely going blind in preparations. We are getting conflicting statements from government officials concerning the progress of preparations, and the hysteria that exists in the administration naturally spreads to the country at large. Out of such a situation there has grown what might almost be called a mania for starting and conducting movements for aiding the soldiers, the army, the navy, the hospitals, the destitute of Europe, the orphans, the returning soldiers, etc., all of which movements are commendable in their purpose but apparently have too little co-ordinated and intelligent direction. Where ill-directed movements of this kind are likely to lead is illustrated by an account given by the New York Times showing the results of an "Army and Navy Bazzar," held in New Lork. The gross receipts were over $75,000, out of which there was $255 net for expenditure in the purchase of comfort kits for the men on the firing line. About one cent out of every dollar put into the enterprise was expended for the real purpose in view. These facts were not stated by the Times for the purpose of discrediting every movement for the aid of the soldiers, nor are they repeated here for any such purpose. But the people who contribute money have a right to know, and it is their duty to know, that the money they contribute goes for the real object intended. This is their right and duty not only as to private, voluntary contributions, but in no less degree as to the money they are compelled to contribute through Federal taxes. Knowing these facts will insure a more intelligent and effective use of money and labor given by a loyal and unselfish people for the great task in which we are engaged.

"JIM CROWING" THEMSELVES Our waiters at the Colonial hotel who had trouble, some weeks ago, as a result of a strike of "white" waiters, employed at the same place, were "let out," last week, and their places given to the strikers and their fellow-members of their union. Now, our "Colonial" waiters are very foolishly trying to organize a "jim-crow" union and affiliate with the "white" union, and are being held off by the same element that secured their dismissal from the Colonial hotel service. If the local union, that has as members about every other race variety on the face of the globe but ours, will not accept our waiters into it, then the latter had better stay out of the union and FIGHT it "to the last ditch" for the places in the hotels of the city and elsewhere here they want. Many of the members of the waiters union are foreigners, far less intelligent than the average Afro-American waiter, every one of whom is an American, a citizen, and it would open its doors to our waiters as it does even to aliens or there should be "nothing doing" in the way of organization, but on the contrary an organized fight that would eventually make prejudiced members of the union see the point. About a year ago, our waiters were forced out of the Gillys and another hotel in this city in much the same way as was adopted in this latest Colonial hotel affair. Do not make the mistake of attempting to organize a "jim-crow" union, but organize to fight for your rights as a man and citizen. BISHOP C. H. PHILLIPS PRESIDED SPRINGFIELD, O.-The C. M. E. conference which closed here. Sunday, week, planned for much work in the interest of migration, Dr. L. H. Brown, G. M. Noble, C. L. Howard and J. L.

DECEMBER 1. 1917 SHALL WE HAVE A REAL DEMOCRACY travel that looks like comfort and ease in most of the states our people go into a "cut-off" of the smoking car for "whites." As that car returns they occupy it. But on this same train "white" people in the cars, for ladies, Pullman and limousines, ple desire to enter a Pullman or go into a dining car, they are forbidden, if not by railroad authorities, then by "white" brood who will gather and drive them out. The entire south, in its attitude toward our race, must change before democracy is had in America. The penal institutions of the south must be changed. It's chain-gang system is a reflection on American civilization. The brutality accompanying this system is worse than that of the Russians in days gone by. The south, in its attitude toward our race, must keep these institutions full in order to exploit such labor as the "political ring" desires. We must now come to our real democracy. The south must acquiesce, quietly if it will, but acquiesce it must, in giving our race the same rights and privileges before the law that they enjoy. Right-thinking Afro-Americans will be satisfied with nothing less. The step, taken by the labor unions under Samuel Gompers, is the right one. The organizing of our workmen into union laborers is a beneficial act so far as they are concerned. It will in a great measure do away with the friction that has existed for a long time between white and colored laborers. Manufacturing establishments that would as soon employ our laborers as the other, have been prevented from doing so, in many cases, because of the attitude of union labor toward our people. This obstruction being removed, it is up to our laborer to prepare himself to do any work that is now being done in America. Coming under the unions, he should remember that he is not to cut prices and be the bribe of strife by keeping up contention with members of the cheap laborers. He should respect for the cheap laborers. He should inst wage should I. See SLOAN. Let the bribe of one, that haun our great avenues, go to work and prepare themselves for higher things. (REV.) WM.

DARL TO DO YOUR DUTY * "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet should serve the law, and uphold justice. It disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. * THE MAN WHO DARLS. * "I honor the man who in the consecutions discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with lenchant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be inverted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. ```markdown ``` Megaphone Resembles Ram's Horn. A Boston physician has invented a megaphone which is constructed on the theory that the original horn—the ram's born—was and still is technically correct for sound reproduction. His megaphone is curved instead of the straight tunnel-like shape of most other instruments, and one of the most inoresting and useful features about it is the ability to use it without having to interfere with one's vision. For Polishing Furniture The polish generally used on mission furniture is the dull wax finish. If instead of applying only wax, alternate coats of boiled linseed oil and wax are used, a polish will be obtained which is brighter and more durable than the ordinary finish. ALASKA LURE FOR THE HOME SEEKER FARMER HAS COME IN WAKE OF GOLD HUNTER TO DEVELOP ITS RESOURCES. Territory is Showing Its Possibilities an Land of Agriculture. In 1867, William H. Seward insisted that the United States government buy Alaska. The price paid was $7,200,000. People scouted and raided and jerked at "Seward's Ice Box." Last year the territory exported her purchase price in gold alone, six times her purchase price in copper, three times her purchase price in fish. Her total commerce for the year approached $220,000,000. And still Alaska is a land of thrills. She has scarcely stopped across the threshold of the vast prosperity that will be here. The half billion of dollars she has given these United States during the close of the last half century will be doubled many times before the century is closed. An invincible frontier spirit forged the mighty Mississippi, overcame obstructing mountain barriers and penetrated to the prairie breed. That invincible frontier spirit was the spirit of the pioneer American, and it is with us still. The plains of Kansas and the plains of California played their part in the steady westward march of American civilization. Then came the rush to the Klondike. That brought the first great throng of Alaska pioneers. Many of them struck pay and returned to the states. More of them have snuck something better and richer than past; they have struck houses. The far larger lure of the north has caught them, and they can wish for no better. Montana was a famous mining country and a great cattle region. So was Arizona. Now they are farming both states with rich results. The rule to California in '19 was *or* gold. Since then California has become one of the great agricultural states of the Union. And now they tell us that the farming area alone of Alaska is as large as the combined total area of Pennsylvania. Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire. We are told that Matanuska potatoes weigh a pound and a half, we are shown turpines and rutabas that weigh from twelve and fourteen pounds apiece. We are fed jersey and strawberries that might have been grown in Virginia. Is this "Seward's Ice Bay" "Seward's Folly" "Seward's Artic Polar Bear Reserve?" Alaska is no longer a formidable wilderness. Thoughtful men and women realize that though it is cold in winter, it is warm in summer. Reports of actual weather conditions show that it was milder in Seward this winter than it was at New York or at Boston. We cannot speak of Alaska as a whole any more than we can speak of the Pacific slope as a whole. It is just as misleading to speak of the Manitouka valley and Point Bay row in the same beach, as it is to infer that penographers will mature in Vancouver just because that island happens to be carved by the same sea that lans the beach of copanado. A map of Alaska superimposed upon a chart of the United States shows a spread of territory extending from the Atlantic ocean at Charleston to the Pacific at Los Angeles from Canada at Lake Superior to the state of Sonora. Her 586,400 square miles comprise a domain one-fifth as large as the United States, and quite as varied, both in climate and in resources. Why, then did Alaska lie so long "undiscovered?" Lack of concrete knowledge and prejudice born of ignorance have retarded the development of the territory up to a very recent date. Government surveys have disclosed vast riches, the government railroad is fast opening the country. Her coal is declared to equal the world's best her soil is fertile and her people in dustrious. What better foundation could a candidate for statehood have in its race for future prosperity. Rice Husks, Mixed With Tar Makes Usable Brigette. Shortage of coal in Spain has led to the experiments with various substitutes, including the husks of rice and inferior qualities of lignite. In the provinces that raise rice, the husks have lately been mixed with tar and formed into brigettes under dryraulic pressure. In their natural form rice husks make an expensive fuel, burning with little heat, but the brigettes are said to ignite readily, give off little smoke and can be used to some extent as a substitute for coal. Another kind of fuel brigette, giving similar service, is made from cheap qualities of lignite, including lignite dust and waste formerly regarded as worthless, from which the volatile matter is first expelled and blinding material then added to form the brigette under pressure. In a recently patented double-joint in particular fine or stub point can be used. Value of Advertising From a capital of $20,000 to $25, 000,000 in 12 years through networked ug is the record of a St. Louis cor- poration. The doubter of the virtue of printer's ink properly distributed and of the right quality will find a lot of food for thought in that fact—St Louis Star. MALAYONS ARE PEOPLE OF ROMANCE, AND SLOTH. Are Indient Except When Stirred by Adventure The Malay cities of Malacca and Singapore have grown away from their birthplace of old native ways and customs. They have taken on a character peculiar to themselves that is unique and interesting, but they are not at all typical of the federated states or of the peninsula as a whole. Such a trip would take the traveller to any one of a score of villages or little cities, each as like the next as one pea is like the other, save for some detached o river, jungle or hill. In such detached neighborhoods the Malay remains very much as the Lords and his environment have made him He is a different individual from anyone else in the orient. He has neither the servility nor the deference to caste that belong to the lower class native of the near east, nor the industry and culture of China and Japan. He is an independent, erratic, shiftless, proud, indifferent individual, a figure that lends itself readily to romance, a victim of a thousand superstitions, with little culture and a considerable amount of police and self-possession. The Malay is romantic because his virtues are the virtues of a feudal society. He is brave, enduring, courtesies, reserved and hospitable. He has a real appetite for danger and adventure; nothing litters him out of his habitual stolth and dullness so quickly as an adventure that has a spice of peril about it. Under such circumstances he will prove cool and faithful as long as there is life in his body. Loyalty he counts as chief of the qualities to be admired. NO BLUE MONDAY HERE Alaskan Miners Use Wind to Do Washing In Alaska and throughout the more or less frozen north, laundresses are practically unknown. The miners de- fend the housekeeping and their own laundries. A cylinder about thirty inches long and of the some diameter as the head of the churn is first constructed of heavy galvanized iron. One end on this cylinder is left open and the head of the churn is fastened to the open end. The cylinder is then balanced in the churn and the churn bearings are fastened on with rivets and solder to make them watertight. Two meshes of galvanized wire of one inch mesh are then made. One of them is suspended from the movable head by one-quarter inch galvanized iron rods and the other fastened to the cylinder, so that the two are about ten inches apart in the middle of the cylinder. The clothes are confined between the two screens. The water surges back and forth through them until they are clean, or as long as the churn is in motion. A large pinwheel attached to the bearings furnished the turning power—Popular Mechanics.

He says "Star" gave him money "several times." Lord, have mercy! What do you think of that? The Gazette had absolutely nothing to do with that circular against Bayliss, Bailey and Crable distributed in some of our churches and elsewhere in the city, Sunday. It was evidently the work of some of the righteously indignant members of the congregations of Lane, Antioch and Mt. Haven churches. Something is now notifying people that Naham D. Brascher "has no connection" with it and "is not authorized to receive monies, nor contract any business." He also says he noticed it? These do seem to be day days for several people don't.

In a statement to the daily newspaper the week before the recent election, Mr. Harry L. Davis said, speaking of his administration in the Central Valley (in Marion Ave.): "This is the district in which it might be expected that persons might settle for immoral purposes." Why? Because mostly colored people live in that district? Well, well, well! Alex H. Martin, Esq. our candidate for "many" judge at the recent election, ran last, receiving less than 14,000 votes to Judge Beebe's nearly 50,000 votes. Beebe was the leader. Walter McMahon came near getting three times as many votes as Martin did. For this must thank the Maschke-Davis faction that "double-crossed" Martin and our people. We recall that The Garrett, for weeks before election warned our people of this community that the Maschke-Davis faction was only fooling Martin and his friends in order to get our people's support and vote on election day; that it would not give him "state support" or our judge's "judge support" or our friend and the result shows plainly that it did not. Had it done so, Martin, and not Walter McMahon would have been elected Walter, with the Maschke-Davis "state" support, broke the Bar Association "slate" and wont; the only one to do so.

THE SOUTH AND DEMOCRACY Gradually the court of highest appeals is undoing the great wrong that for years has been fixed upon the colored race as well as upon the nation. The solid south is a "tyrannical aggregation of states that have bound themselves together to perpetuate the conditions of slavery that were said to have been published in the sixties." The states are one in every unjust attempt to do injustice to the colored race. Their political leaders defiantly boast of their annulling the constitution in carrying out their plans. Lawa in the south are made for two purposes: first, to oppress the colored race, and, second, to give unbridled liberty to southern whites to do what they desire. That they should have no opposition in carrying out their designs, colored men have been driven by force from the ballot box, eliminated from the jury system and relegated to the background in every movement that looks toward the upift of the south. The long exploded lie, that the south adopted "grandfather classes," etc., to save the south from the fearful death of Negro domination, is still being used by vicious politicians and newspaper editors to justify any violence the south may do. The fact is, the colored race that is now being deprived of the franchise is not the ex slave but his children who should have had forty years of training and education. Instead of edenting the colored race for the fraternise during these fifty years, every effort has been put forward to keep him from the fraternise. The viciousness of its ignorance imposed upon the colored race has been used as an argument to justify the injustice of the south. This world war has brought about a change. Every American citizen is called upon to do his bit to win this war. The copperhead southerners are even now attempting to humiliate the colored soldier and cower him. This is TREASON! Their retusal to honor the American soldier is an evidence of their unfitness to be American citizens. The statement issued by the President, in which he depreciates such law and brands those participating in it as unworthy citizens, strikes the whole nation but with special emphasis the south. The south must be crushed if democracy is to reign in America. The south must be taut! that law is not upheld upon color or racial traits but upon justice. The south must be informed that it has taught the world that southern white men are not prepared to govern other peoples justly; that no people in their midst, deprived of the fraternise, can hope to enjoy freedom and equal protection by the law. The south has struck the hardest blow at our American justice and democracy. The south is an unsafe place to live in so long as southern white men are permitted to destroy constitutional liberty and the orderly procedure of law, substituting therefor, mob law, violence, arson and murder. The President of the nation has at last spoken—what he should have done, white men that attacks an American soldier, regardless of color, should be shot before a firing squad. Racial superiority exists not in the color of the skin but in the possession of those superior human virtues that differentiate man from the brute. The south cannot maintain its supposed superiority by fatal murder and repression. The attitude of the south toward colored people enjoying the comforts of life, is criminal and unworthy of a civilized people. To destroy a man's automobile by fire and tell him "niggers are not allowed to use them in the south," ought to be a species of barbarians and wickedness unheard of even in these barbarous times. Colored men who have automobiles should remember that a convenient Winchester rifle is the necessary companion. Use this rifle when it is necessary. When a race is called upon to die in the defense of the country's rights, it should also be too ready to die in defense of its own. The sooner the class of southern whites are wiped off the face of the earth, that "each is cursing the south, the better it will be for the whole country. This country will never enjoy a safe democracy until it subdues its barbarous element that lives in the south. Cleaned, Blocked and Retrimmed 3882 CENTRAL AVE.

Isolated Inhabitants Live Much the Same as Forebeare Did. On the little misty, storm swept island of Iona in the Hebrides to the west of Scotland, lie the ruins of the monastery whence came the men who Christianized the British Isles. The island has changed but little from which it must have done in these remote times. The same daeus fogs still vell it, rising from the warm golf stream; the same westerly gales howl over it, and in the little sheltered grassy hollows the simple people live and till the soil as they did in the days of St. Columbia, who founded the monastery. Their implements may be more modern, but they are the same silent, kindly Celts. Iona is the most fertile and beautiful of the Hebrides, of which there are some 500 scattered about the waters to the west of Scotland. Only about 100 of these islands are inhabited at all, and the greater part of these latter support less than a dozen people each. It is a region of rain and mist, with rare clear days that are like the infrequent laugh of a sad but kindly nature-god. The atmosphere of the archipelago is made for dreams and silence. It seems out of the modern world. Iona has been a sacred spot time out of mind. Long before the earliest missionary came to Britain, it was a place consecrated to the early Drulic ceremonies. After St. Columbia founded his colony, the ground was held so holy that kings bade their subjects bury them there. The bones of sixty monarchs, Irish, English and Norse, lie under the sod of lona today. One spot, known as the Tomb of the Kings is still marked by a row of monuments, fenced in by an incongruous modern iron railing. It lies in a bare plain, whose surface is dotted with other stones and monuments, half covered with grass, leaning sadly awry. It is a long time since these stones were raised. In spite of a gloomy climate, lion is beautiful. The soil is so fertile that for centuries its fertility was regarded as miraculous, due to the atmosphere of holiness rather than the soil. Behind its sea cliffs, the swale rises and falls in dimpled green hollows, the beaches are white with shell and sand. The sixty kings have chosen a fair resting place. FORMER BRAZIL CAPITAL HOLDS ART, RELIGION. Monuments of Battles Holds Dates and No Name. Bahia, once the capital of Brazil, is in many ways the center of art and religion in that largest of South American republics. She is the oldest of Brazilian cities, and many of these of her present inhabitants are descended from a long line of natives of the place. After the puzzling custom of several Brazilian cities, the name of Bahia is really not Bahia at all. The same thing is true of Pará, for instance, known to its inhabitants as Benelé Bahai is really Sao Salvador. Bahia, or Sao Salvador, which ever you prefer, is a city chiefly notable for the number of its public buildings and monuments. Some of them date back to Portuguese colonial days; others are very modern. The monuments include numbers of very fine bronzes. After South America fashion, there are monuments of the principal rivers of Brazil, as well as to the glorious events in Brazilian history. Also after the puzzling South American fashion, these monuments are not labeled in outspoken fashion with the name of the event they commemorate. If a monument commemorates the victory of Brazil over Paraguay, it is not labeled "To the memory of those who fell in that glorious conflict, etc." It is simply labeled "The 11th of November," or "The 20th of June." You have to be well posted on local history to appreciate Brazilian monuments. At Bahia you get a glimpse of the tremendous stream of tropical products which pours out of the rich mossy interior into the maw of a gry world. Cocoa and coffee, rubber and cotton, rare woods, diamonds strange bird skins, nuts and sugar precious metals—all these and a bun dred others flow into the holds of waiting ships. MAKES BIRD WEIGH ITSELF "Twig" Tomtit Lights on Is Beam of Tiny.Scale. An ingenious naturalist has been making the tomtits record their weight. In order to obtain the food which he placer for them they have to alight upon what appears to be a twig, but is in reality the beam of a tiny scale. 'As they rest upon it, so they register their weight, which avenges about one-third of an ounce per bird—forty-eight tomtits to the pound. "What's in a name?" Yet the fact that his own is Ralph Arnika may be some slight balm to the feeling of a New York holdup man who was hit on the head with the butt of a revolver and knocked uncer colus during a recent altercation with a policeman. FOOD VALUE OF CHEESE INDORSED BY EXPERTS. They Advice It Use as a Staple Article Instead of Merely a Table American women have long regarded cheese merely as an accessory to the diet, and not as a staple supplying real food value. In fact, most women believe cheese, when used in large quantities, is indigestible and harmful. Experts of the Department of Agriculture have carried on extensive studies of cheese as a part of their work in home economics. This work consists in determining the food value of cheese, its digestibility, physiological effect, as well as the methods of preparing it for the table. Briefly, they have found that cheese is seldom a cause of physiological disturbances, and may easily be used as the chief source of nitrogenous food. When cheese is served as a substitute for meat or other staple — and this has been done very successfully— housekeeper should regulate carefully the other vegetables according to the meat they intend to have, as green peas with lamb. With cheese crisp, fresh vegetables, as lettuce, celery and water cress, should be used, with or without dressing. Fruits, plain or in salad form, are also very good. This sounds healthy on the face of it, for eminent physicians agree a certain amount of roughness should be caten. It is not generally known that cheese has nearly twice as much protein, weight for weight, as beef, and that its food value is more than twice as great. It contains 25 per cent more protein than the same weight of porterhouse, steak as purchased, and nearly twice as much fat. Porto Rican Town Unchanged by American Rule. San Juan, the capital of Porto Rica, is the busiest, liveliest and most American town in that island, the inhabitants of which have recently been endowed with American citizenship; but an equally interesting one is the little known port of Ponce, on the other side of the island. San Juan has narrow, noisy crowded streets, while those of Ponce, are wide, shady and quiet. Although it is a city of some 40,000 people, the sugar fields crowd almost into it from all sides, and the street car runs between them and through the shade of tall palm trees on its way from the waterfront to the piza. The houses are for the most part low, flat structures, built flush with the sidewalk, over which the balconies jut out. They are painted the bright blues and greens and pink which the Latin-American loves. The people of the town are almost wholly Spanish. There is not only far less negro blood there than in San Juan, but Americans and foreigners are few. The wide and beautiful plaza, with its great trees, its statuary and fountains, is filled with strolling senioritas and observant challengers every evening. The Spanish social life, with its decorum and grace and pleasantness, exists here undisturbed by the invasions of industry and foreign blood which are rapidly changing the aspect of much of Latin America. MACHINE KEEPS BOOKS New System Combines Cash and Credit Register. What might be described as an automatic bookkeeper is a new device which combines the cash register, credit register and adding machine in compact form. There is a series of compartments set above the keyboard of the machine, each of which contains a credit customer's account. This part of the device is built on the unit system so that it can be added to as the business expands and new accounts are opened. In a credit transaction the clerk must make a record of certain details by operating the keys before the credit compartment of a customer can be unlocked. When the handle is pulled forward, this compartment is automatically locked, and a complete and permanent record is printed upon the detail strip. Provisions are made by this device to record all credit, cash and supplementary transactions. It is said to simplify and expedite the accounting system of a retailer who does a credit business. The machine contains five totaling devices, steel type, ribbon and detail strip to record all business. Each clerk has a number or initial corresponding to certain keys to identify him in each of his transactions. Customers' credit accounts are also indicated by certain numbered keys; this key number also serves to establish their identity. At the end of the day's business the totals shown on the five devices are transformed automatically to the detail strip and a permanent record is thus obtained of each transaction.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OH IO, DECEMBER 1, 1917 SCIENCE AND THE LAUNDRY SHOWS MUCH SOILED FABRICS ARE BADLY WORN IN BEING LAUNDERED. Letting Wash Hang Too Long on Line Also Deterritories Garments. Science has invaded the laundry. After solving the puzzling problems of many calories of protein and carbohydrate we should get when we buy 11 cents worth of fish, the microscope and the test tube have determined how often a stiff collar should stand sturching before it cracks at the edges. The recent investigations into the fine points of washing and the mysterious reasons for the rapid deterioration of some kinds of wash goods were made by the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, which is connected with the University of Pittsburgh. Few people have any clear idea of how long a shirt or a collar or a tablecloth ought to wear, and how often it ought to stand being laundered. With garments used for personal wear it is a little more difficult to make comparisons, because some people give their clothes harder usage than others, but a napkin or a tablecloth gets about the same amount of wear in any household. The investigators took the experience of a certain large hotel as typical. They estimate that the napkins and tablecloths in this hotel have been laundered 228 times in the two years since they were first purchased, and they are still in perfectly good condition for further use. The investigators find that there are three essential factors in the long life of any piece of wash goods. It must be of good quality to begin with, it must be properly treated, and it must be properly washed. The factor of quality has to be seen to when the purchase is made. The matter of proper treatment is deserving of more attention than it usually gets. It is a fact not generally realized in the average household that the life of any article or garment which is washed regularly depends not only on the number of times it goes to the laundry but also on how badly soiled it is. If clothes and linens are badly spotted and stained they do not last as long, because they must be washed longer and more visibly. That exposure to the air in drying tends to weaken clothes and fabrics was shown by a series of tests which indicate that clothes should not be left on the line any longer than is absolutely necessary. This is especially the case in cities and suburbs where there is considerable smoke in the air. The substances contained in smoke are known to have an injurious effect on fabrics. This explains why curtains usually begin to wear out on the line marked by the open sash of the window. Managers of large hotels have long realized this fact, and they have their curtains washed before they actually begin to look soiled, in order to remove the substances deposited by the smoky air. It is said that if this practice were generally followed in private households the life of the average curtain would be considerably lengthened. That the washing of fabrics too frequently may not be a wise practice was shown by another series of tests, which indicate that every washing, no matter how careful and gentle, weakens a cloth somewhat. Elaborate investigations were also made into the various washing materials. It was found that a combination of soap and washing soda is the best for use in laundry work. This combination weakens the cloth less than either soap and water or soda and water used alone. The investigators also concluded that one of the most important part of the washing process is what they call "selective treatment." This means that each treatment should be given just the individual treatment it requires, according to the deficiency of the fabric and the degree to which it is soiled, whether it is washed in the power laundry or in the tub at home. COIN OPERAES SODA FOUNTAIN First Comes Syrup, Then the Gas and Iced Water. An automatic soda fountain has been patented by a Houston (Texas) man. The fountain is operated merely by dropping the proper coin into a slot. Contained in an attractive wooden cabinet are three tanks, one filled with paraffin cups. When a coin is dropped into the slot it releases three delicately balanced levers, one after the other. The third lever allows a little less than a cup of fecal carbonated water to flow into the cup in this way the drink is properly mixed in a sanitary way and supplied to the customer without human aid. To enable a small child really to play it a new toy pianel's keys are marked with pictures of animals, similar pictures appearing on the music that is to be played.
