The world's two most famous circuses now merged into one and headed this way will exhibit here, Monday and Tuesday. The very name of the great new circus—Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Combined—assures all who attend the greatest program ever presented in America. This is likewise true of the manmuth street parade, Monday morning. Hundreds upon hundreds of performers will appear in the gigantic main-tent. There will be spores upon scouts, of the cleverest dumb actors. A gorgeously costumed pagan of stupendous size will open the program. Great companies of characters, representing the best-loved stories of fable and nursery lore will appear. There will be splendid and many groups of beautiful horses in jeweled trappings. The army of clowns exceed all past records for fun and numbers.
The editor of The Gazette leaves today for Chicago where he will spend about a week, returning home for next Wednesday and Thursday only. Tell those who wish to see him to call at the office on those two days only, next week.

All about, evidences that the Anglo-Saxon race is decaying are visible. The rule of hate is the one passion of the hour. White men have lost faith in each other and it is only when they have each other tied fast that they make any pretence of trusting each other. In government, this race has stranded the world, Kingdoms, republics and empires under them have crumbled. Orderly government has given away to moblaw and tyranny. Politics which has to do with the proper running of municipalities and larger divisions, has been turned into dishonor and rapine. Taxes, which are paid for the betterment of the people as a whole are used principally to fatten political grafters. The good of his own purse, and not the people, is the one aim of the politician. Today, Europe is a wreck, the result of Anglo-Saxon decendence! The cause of Anglo-Saxon decendence! have been told and those who brought it on have never been brought to the bar of justice. No one nationality in Europe is responsible for the last war. Huge sums of money, the war in America, have been ruthlessly squandered and the orgy of squandering continues. Virtue, which was on the decline prior to the war, fled during the war, and since the war immorality has eaten up the world. Jacobism, the taking advantage of the necessities of his brother, is the one principle governing trade now. Every man is a HOG when it comes to determining the profit he shall make. Thirty religious denominations have joined in trying to recreate the world and in the mist of this laudable attempt, the biggory, and selfishness of Anglo-Saxonism are about to defeat its ends. Unwillingness to record others what they enjoy and the mobbing together to keep them out is the ethics of white people of the present day. Injustice toward weaker races numerically is the chief characteristics of Anglo-Saxon "chivalry". During the war, Anglo-Saxons assumed an arm of brotherliness and attrition. They

preached "our country's good," Since the war, and their hides having been saved, they are flauntingly speaking of the "white man's country." Cowardice seems to be his chief stock in trade, especially when he is afraid of being whipped. The laboring man of their own race do not trust their rulers and as a consequence strikes, and disorders abound everywhere and almost in everything. Criminals and recriminations are heard everywhere among them. Laws are not regarded, everywhere the seeds of insurrection are growing and each man is seeking to safeguard himself, without any regard for his neighbor. The dress of women is the evidence that the substitution of all greediness has gone for the sinuity, of the human body, especially those portions which nature ordained to be covered. It has been brazenly thrown away. In all these things our white brother leads! We quicke for him, for it seems that he has reached his goal in greatness and is now falling. Confusion fojens in every thing. What is the trouble my brother? Ha it your sin, found you out and is the God of vengeance now, turning you over to yourself for your own destruction! Your full means destruction to our civilization. Your firm hand on other races, so as to keep them back and shut them out, from the rule and government of empire and kingdoms, has caused the other races to be unprepared to continue civilization as it is now. Your fixed purpose to deluge this world into another cataclysm of arms, worse than that of the last war, seems gave to accomplish its aim. Weaker races lenging for ideal morality stand agastat, at your shameful desecration of things once revered and loved. Virtue, the angel of happiness, has been wounded by you so that now she is prostrate and the heathen races look on in wonder while she is dying. Darker races prepare to save the world for your white brother has failed!

SOUTHERN DELEGATE CONTEST
Hon. Joseph C. Manning Tells How Best to Relieve the Party From Them
Every four years there comes up from the southern states a large number of contested delegations to Republican National conventions. Southern Republicans are criticised, sometimes, denounced and always branded as a uncontinent element. It is not altogether the fault of the Republicans of the South that this situation confronts the party. Southern Republican leaders have come to look upon the matter of getting into a national convention as the only method of obtaining recognition and certainly as the foremost step toward federal patronage. For years it has been the custom of Republican national administrations to put, a foremost of concern in the South, the matter of manipulating delegations there with a view to controlling party nominations for President. This reached its height in 1968 when the administration employed federal office-holders in that section to the fullest extent in the work of nominating Taft.
One reason for this disorganized condition of the party, in the South is that there are no voting Republicans there, to speak of, as a result of the aggressions of southern Democracy upon constitutional democracy. This is a government by political parties and we find that southern Democracy has set to work partisan political machinery there, with the direct purpose of eliminating the possibility of an opposing political party. The disfranchisement laws in the South were set up, primarily, to disobey the opposition then becoming strong and known as the fusion party. The object of the laws is shown by the results arising from their operation. Only about one-fourth of the whites and practically none of the colored males of voting are there have voice in government, so far as is revealed by the election returning. That southern Democracy dominates that section through political suppression and repression is a well known that it is unable to rectify the fact.
The amazing aspect of the situation is that there is no further any interest in this southern condition on the part of the Republican party than this every four-year excursion of delegate-hunters from northern and western states, while the supporters of the party generally in the North and West are quick to asail southern Republicans for alleged "selling out" to various candidates for the nomination for President. The thing that could to be done is to asail Republican member of Congress who set capably in their seats and hear "world democracy" proclaimed by southern Democrats who have set up a system which amounts to nothing less than political slavery in the South.
The "solid-South" will not be law and tyranny. Politics, which caused to take the heel of political despotism off the necks of disfranchised southern Republicans and until the U. N. Constitution and its suffrage guarantees stand for as much in the south as in the other states of the Union. The best way to relieve the country of these southern contests is to relieve the southern masses of political slavery and let them vote, so there can be two political parties in the South. Then there will be a Republican party in that section and these contests will disappear.
PARIS, France.—The French government has decided to withdraw at the beginning of next month the main body of colored troops from the occupied regions of Germany. This decision, it is emphatically stated, is not an admission of any charges brought against them but is alone solely to avoid any ground for a repetition of the silly, lying "American" charges. Some 1,500 blacks are to remain, forming a part of eleven regiments of French colonial troops from Algeria, Morocco, and Madagascar. These other troops are recruited from among the Arabs and Nonnegroid races of Africa, who have been under French influence for generations and are entirely Christianized men, and are as well disciplined and have as good records as any other French or other regiments. The allegations which prejudiced German-Americans have been bringing against them are denied by both civil and military authorities. The same formal denial is made to the allegations made by German-Americans against the Senegalese and other black African troops whose behavior has been carefully inquired into by the civilian authorities and found to be also the very best. They will be replaced by young French soldiers and will be used to replace French contingents in the near east.

Mrs. Walker was a graduate of Oberlin college, a splendid wife and helpmate. Mr. Walker has the earnest sympathy of a host of friends throut the state.
HAMPTON, Va. + Bishop Theodore D. Bratton, Jackson, Miss., president of the Southern Sociological Congress, in bringing to a close the race relations' section of the recent Washington meeting, said: "All tests of social ideas are affoat.

mate in this age of turmoil following the Great War. Express your desires, your hopes, and your principles unreservedly, strongly, but patiently and courteously."
Prof. Robert T. Kerlin of the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va., in his address on "The Negro's Reaction to the World War," said: "A new type of colored man has come upon the stage: the Afro-American who is struggling for manhood rights, for political, economic, and social freedom, for all that democracy means to the most favored. This man has not yet found in the white race an interpreter. He is too recent, too alarming. We are baffled by his attitude and his ambitions. We have made no provision in our social system for this new man in the old color. Tradition is mighty. Prejudice is subtle and prevailing. The romancers have so engaged our fancies with the delectable old-timer that the new-comer finds all our mental chambers occupied. The sympathy requisite for an interpretation being thus wanting in the white race, the Afro-American has become his own interpreter and his newspaper is preeminently his organ! What brought forth this new man? Doubtless the World War brought him upon the stage of our national life, but the World War did not produce him. The fifty years since emancipation, fifty years of struggle and upward striving through semi-servitude, have done that."
Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, Ala. Institute, declared that Afro-Americans have not lost faith in all white people. "We want white people everywhere," he said, "to put us down as American citizens. We do not need to be adjusted to American ideas and sentiments. Afro-Americans have always been loyal to their nation, their state, and their community. We ask to be treated as Americans. We ask no more, and we should ask no less." Dr. Moton pointed out clearly that when the Afro-American fight segregation, he knows that not once in ten times is the promise of equal accommodation fully carried out. "The South has enormous natural resources," said Dr. Moton. Our Afro-American population offers the finest and most reliable source of labor in the South. The South indeed cannot get along without this labor. The Afro-American is asking today for an equal chance along every line of human endeavor. They ought to be guaranteed life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and an equal chance along all lines of honest endeavor. Among the things to encourage us are the following: The Atlanta plan includes an organization of inter-racial committees that work quietly and persistently to improve inter-racial conditions; many of the best people of the South have set themselves like flint against lynching; the spirit of Jesus Christ is working in the hearts of men to solve this human problem—this race problem."
Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, Washington, D. C., referred to the contribution which had been made by our Afro-American citizens to the field of serious scientific research and achievement. Dr. Scott's program of readjustment between the new Afro-American and the new nation covers the following points: "(1) Lynchings in all parts of the country

should be stamped out; (2) labor conditions must be improved, with a just wage and humane working conditions for all; (3) the sacredness of the ballot must be recognized and equality of citizenship enforced for all who measure up to the law's requirements; (4) adequate educational facilities must be provided for the Afro American and fair opportunities for the exercise of God-given talent; must be afforded in the trade markets of the Nation; (5) Afro Americans must stand unfalteringly for thrift, industry, and an abiding sense of responsibility, reliability, honesty, discipline of self, and participation in the helpful activities of their communities."
Monroe N. Work, of Tuskegee Institute, editor of the "Negro Year Book," in his address on "The Afro-American in Property Owning," declared that they have not generally required property for speculative purposes but in order to establish home, and added: "Afro-Americans now own over 600,000 homes; that is, one home out of every four which they have is owned. The progress which they have made has required self control and self denial. They today own $1,140,000,000 worth of taxable property. In the rural sections there is no匀凄ness of the race problem because of their owning property. Their future development will be largely determined by the ex-

tent to which they acquire property and establish good homes."
THE N. A. A. C. P.
Annual Conference Opened Four-Day
Session in Atlanta, Sunday, ATLANTA, Ga.—The annual conference of the N. A. A. C. P. opened a four-day session here, Sunday, the first meeting of the organization in the southern states, Gov. Dorssey, Mayor Key, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the committee of church co-operation, and the church council acted with the local branch of the association in inviting the annual meeting to Atlanta. The governor, the mayor and other local officials delivered addresses of welcome and the meetings of the conference were addressed by men from other states. Considerable attention was attracted to the conference because of the criticisms by the organization, of lynching, "jim-crow" laws, disfranchisement of white and colored citizens, and its stand on other phases of the race question at issue in the southern states. The association which claims a membership of 100,000 including 10,000 whites, has 328 branches in forty three-cities and had about 200 delegates and visitors to the Atlanta conference. Dean Durham of Emory university; Charles E. Russell, the Socialist leader; Florence Kelly of the Consumers League; Bishop Hurst, President—Black of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, and Dr. W. E. Dubois were among the speakers at various sessions. On Tuesday afternoon Dr. James H. Dillard of Charlottesville, Va., president of the Jeanes educational fund presented on the campus of Atlanta university, the Springgarn medal, which goes annually to the Afro-American who is accounted as having accomplished most in any hold of human endeavor during the last year. It was given Du Bois, Labor and migration, lynching and segregation and the ballot and education were among the subjects discussed. The association announced a growth of more than 100 per cent. in membership during the last year. Moorefield Store of Boston—Senator Capper of Kansas, Jane Addams of Chicago, and Joseph P. Dowd of Boston are among the members of it.

FARMERS FAVOR ANTI-STRIKE

mittee of the Interstate Commerce
Committee of the Senate relative to
the Poindexter Bill to prohibit in-
terference with interstate commeree
by ‘conspiracies of either employers

qualified in their support of the
measure. ‘The Poindexter Bill, like

A WARNING.
An early morning duel, by the rays
of @ flashlight, between railroad de-
tectives and an alleged car robber
ended, last week Thursday, in. the
Killing of Hagh Goodman, "2615",
88d. St. James Givens and Frank Stu-
linski, detectives employed by the
Nickel Plate railroad, reported to po-
lice they. came upon Goodman ran-
sacking freight cars in the Nickel
Plate yards, a short distance west of
E..65th St, Seals on five cars had
been broken. Quantities of merchan-
dive, including several hundred dol-
Jans’ worth of ciothing, shoes. _and
soap, were piled slong the track. With
a pocket flashlight Stulinski explored
the.interiors.of the cars, coming upon
Goodman in the fourth of the row. He
backed-out of the car and called on
the man to surrender. Instead, the
detectives said, Goodman dashed at
them with a knife in his hand. (This
“sounds,” a little.) ‘The trio battled
near the door. ‘fhe flashlight was
dropped. and broken. Fearing Good-
man might injure his companion,
Givens drew his revolver. As Good-
man, unable to escape, lunged at
‘Stulinski with the knife, Givens fired.
(This also “sounds.”) The bullet pen-
erated Goodman's heart. Police were
summoned and the body taken to the
morgue—Cleveland Daily Plain
Dealer.
All of the foregoing may and may
not be true. We do not believe it ALL
and that is one reason why we are
calling our local organizations’ atten-
tion to this particular case and urging
a careful investigation of the matter.
Another reason is that in the last
few years, since the influx from the
South, there has been a growing ten-
dency upon the part of the police, both
private and public, to kill members
ofthe race sought for committing
crimes and misdemeanors. Less re-
spect for the lives of our people is
being shown and that is something
that interests all of us in this com-
munity. Better be up and doing
NOW, if for no other reason than to
warn officers of all kinds that they
cannot kill members of the race in
this community with the same impun-
ity that it is done in the South,

THE TRAGEDY OF THE HALF
LOAF.
ee rte ee. eee
‘The strongest races of men, and the
most indomitable charaeters of his~
tory have always either uncompro-
misingly demanded every scintilla of
their just rights, or, being denied the
full measure of attainment of their
ideals, have spurned even life itself.
Patrick Henry in crying out for
“either liberty or death,” voiced the
sentiment of the Pilgrim Fathers,
who preferred the unknown horrors
of the great uncharted Western ocean
and the savage-ridden land beyond to
religious oppression in @ comfortable
home.
But the American colored man is
ssoernty satisfied with the HALF
LOAR.. For 250 years he) was’ told
that she was entitled to NOTHING
—that he even enjoyed life itself by
suffyance. His mind’was so deliber-
ately diversified and stunted that
he could not even’ think to the» con-
trary,
Sp well was this psychology in-
grained into him that, even today,
race leaders of the old school, finding
it inkpossible to break from this log
cabin philosophy, “handed it down to
free-men.”
He’ was so thoroughly robbed’ of his
mentality, that he complacently help-
ed manufacture the shot and’ shell
whieh cnabled his masters to keep him
‘in slavery. When’ Liberty and Citi-
venship-were granted him, his childish
mind coujd not grasp. their signifi
cance. He took what was given him
with a thankful heart, thanks to the
teachings of the old sehool.
He has not yet demanded unequivo-
-eally all that is due him! He fears to
refuse acceptance of the Half Loaf
axa demand the WHOLE, trembling
lest he be denied any at all. With
apologetic mein and smirking smile,
he rengers gratitude for “jim-crow”
settlement houses, ‘‘fim-erow” — sol-
diers und sailors’ clits, “jim-erow”
Y. M.C. A's, “jim-crow” _ officers’
training camps, “jim-crow:” churches,
fraternities and polities.
He thus plays the beggar’s role in
spite of the fact that he has proven
himself to be an indissoiuble and in-
‘divisible entity of the whole warp
‘and woof of Ameriea, economic, po-
litical, military and social. He js the
economic backbone of the South, He
i the bajance of political power

% Special to The Gazette. ynot coe liar nor black traitor. Then.
No other race in the world has so
stupendous a burden resting upon it
as has the black race. Designediy
‘the white race, especially in America,
‘has and is now trying to convinee the
world that the black race is unfit for
the family of races as an associate on
equal terms. ‘The monumental sin of
the times, is the attempt by whites to
show that blacks are inferior and to
do this, the blacks are denied the
safeguards and protection of govern-
ment as well as the civilizing influ-
ences of education in many portions
of the country. Wicked hostility
meets the black man on every road
he travels excepting that of a servant
and a fool. America is now seeking
to poison the world of nations against
the black man of America. In this at-
tempt a lieing propaganda has been
inaugurated and a publicity program
entered into that permeates every-
‘thing. ‘The white liar of America is
‘the black man’s “Iago.” Very
shrewdly is this “Tago "gathering
round him black sycophants, dollar
liars and eraven tools, to aid the As-
sinine forces of America in holding’
down, practically in slavery, the ma-
jor portion of the colored race in this
country. ‘The educational funds of
America’for the black man have been
syndicated. The, syndicate pours out

truckling tools to continue the regime!
[of wickedness now dominant in the
South. Churches are opened in the
North, East and West to these infa-
mous black traitors to preach their
doctrine of submission and “showing
the white race that we are worthy.”
‘The truckling tories of color, are ued
in the South to cower the colored
youth that desires manhood and they
are despatched to the North to per-
suade the North to follow the atti-
tude of the South, ‘These same
trucklers are saying to the world, “we

we live in the south where we teach

{they take up that doctrine and spread
it privately in all of their associa-

te give the black man, the world over,

him. Wickedly strange, some black
| southern traitors are at the head of
this movement. Of course this will
fail, if every able-bodied black man

WHY NOT JOHNSON AND
VARDAMAN?
Special to The Gazette!
NEW YORK—The N. Y. Evening
Journal, May 20, prints some very in-
teresting Johnson presidential propa-
vanda, which has all the ear marks
of press bureau stuff and appears in
a newspaper that has been boosting
Senator Johnson for nomination on
the Republican ticket for _ months.
Upon reading this article, 1 wonder
why not make the ticket Johnson and
Vardaman, or Vardaman and John-
son? For a Republican U. S. Sena-
tor, who secks the nomination “ for
President on the Republican ticket, to
yemain silent to the! aggressions of
the southern Democracy upon consti-
tutional democracy in the South is
bad enough, but for him to be openly
endorsed for his acquiescence in the
lynching of voice in government per-
petrated by southern Democracy and
by Vardaman, at that, is certainly
going the limit, Vardaman is the
southern Democrat who said of
Booker Washington:
“I have more respect for the cocoa-
nut headed coon who blacks my boots
than I have for Booker Washington.”
‘This remark evidenced his senti-
ment toward Negro progress in par-
ticular and toward Negro people in
general. 1 deny that either Varda-
man or southern Democracy speaks
for the southern people or represents
them, for the southern Democracy is
an oligarchy which sits in power over
the southern people on a vote of no
more than one-third of the whites.
‘The Democracy of the South exercises
power through suppression and re-
pression and oppression. ‘There is no
more of real cleyicracy in the South
than there, is of old-time religion in
hell or of southern Democrats in
heaven, As to the Negro in the
South, he was good enough to buy
Liberty Bonds and do war work, to
go abrodd and fight for world demo-
cracy, and to return to the South of
political slavery and, be told to “get
out of that uniform nigger” and then
and there to become submissive to, all
the wrongs which southern Demo-
cracy may heap upon him. Thisy too,
without any Republican of the Sena-
tor Johnson type to champion the
cause of human justice as the Varda-
man Democracy of the South proceeds
unrestrained in its persecution of the
Negro of that section. There is now
a Negro minister working on the
chaingang in Mississippi for being an
agent of a New York Colored maga-
zine whieh is supported by many lead-
ing white as well as Colored people
the country over. It is unspeakable
and infamous that the Republican
party of Abraham Lincoln should so
condescend in recreancy that, a man
would darg to use the endorsement
Bf a man tike Vardaman as am asset
in seeking the party nomination for
President. Read the New York Eve-
ning Journal article, Colored America,
and those’ of you in the North who
can have voice in the North bear in
mind that now is your time te be
not white liar nor black traitor. Then,
too, our burden stows heavier by the
coming into fairminded communities
of the North colored people from the
jungles of the South who have been
denied the civilizing influences of the
South, and to all purposes they are
more ignorant thanychildren, With
this ignorance goes prejudice and
hate. They bying a religion of noise,
emotions, spasms and ignorance.
They axe establishing little churches,
rather “store dens,” everywhere, and
are having as their preacher some of
the most dangerous crooks of the
black race. Into a land where com-
pulsory education is required, comes
this new immigrant with his religi-
ous teachers (7) decrying education
and forcing, upon neighbors a kind of
bedlum that is repulsive and damning,
‘Their appearance on the streets, their
sanitary surroundings and their de-
corum in public places; drive from
them people of refinement and cul-
ture, But these are black people.
‘They belong to us and it is our bur-
den to uplift them! We must not be
cowards! We must fight their ignor-
ance and, in spite of them, place
them in the hands of competent lead-
ers, Especially must we take care of
the young, ‘These young. boys and
girls of black people must he given
a fair chanee. Take up then the
black man’s burden and help him!

is equally true that constant, persist-

growing dhuing “dull days.”
‘The merchant who considers riches

‘The merchant who never advertises

AS. 1S-CUT IN TWO
AND THEN RESPLICED
Wounded Soldier Uses Member Now
With a Portion Shattered by
Pr ie
David Ballantine, a former Lance
corporal in the East Surreys and who
is now working in the British mint,
has been the subject of one of the
inost remarkable operations ever pet
formed, His arm was cut thru com-
pletely in two places and a portion
wes taken out, The severed arm was
replaced and the limb 1s now in work-
ing order.
Ballatine was severely wounded in
the fighting at Loos in September,
1915, and lay out on the grounds with-
out water or food for four days and
four nights. A shell fragment had
smashed a part of his upper arm be
tween the shoulder and the elbow and
cut into his body, driving out a por:
tion of his ribs, German machine
guns rattled over him xs he lay.
Sometimes he was unconscious.
Subsequently he was taken up by
the Germans and made prisoner, aud
sent into Germany, ‘There he was in
& hospital for a time and eventually
was sent home with a batch of wound-
ed prisoners and brought to Millbank
Hospital. :
He was discharged from the army
as physically unit for further mill:
lary service, His case was brought to
the notice of @ distinguished surgeon
at the Middle-sex Hospital, who took
ft up, and about four months ago per
formed the operation,
He cut the arm thet in two places,
above the elbow, and removed a por
tion .f the ari, bone, sinew and all,
‘Then he joined up the arm again, and
the operation was so successful that,
aitho the arm is shorter than the
other, he ean use it to some extent,
He can take up a cup of tea, for in-
stance, with that arm and raise it to
hia lips.
Ballantine has the pleee of bone
that belonged to the portion of arm
that was removed and is keeping it as
a acavenic.

Onas Most Powerful Aborigines, Battle Others For Existence.
When the white man first came to the islands of the Fuegian archipelago he created considerable stir. The Indians had never seen a ship before, and they could not imagine what it was doing in their particular waters. Immediately they started signaling by means of campfires to the interior tribes, so that the whole coast appeared to be one chain of blazing fires. That is why the white men called the principal island Tierra del Fuego—land of fire—which, in other respects, was a bad mistake.
Tierra del Fuego is continually cold and damp; the inland channels that intersect the island are always frozen, and at all times an ice fog prevents the sun from doing its duty in thawing out the ground.
It is not strange that such a climate the Indians should be in in an early state of evolution, with little ambition and no facilities for comfort. Like the Eskimos in winter, they huddle into small huts which in shutting out the snow also preclude the possibility of ventilation. They wear little clothing but the skins of animals. The women do not weave and work in pottery as do the North American Indians, and they seem altogether to lack the incentive to build and create.
Many of the tribes of whom the Onas are the chief, are still nomadic. They do not remain in any one habitat for any length of time, but in their bark canoes—their one product of actual thought and effort—they travel around the inland waters, living on whatever food is the easiest to procure. Whenever a whale is washed up on the beach they immediately take up their residence beside the carcass until it is completely devoured.
Since the arrival of the white man in greater numbers, and the cultivation of the land throughout the interior of the island for agricultural purposes, the Indians have gradually adopted many of the ways of civilization, but they still resent the intrusion.
The Onas have always been particu-
ularly hostile, and at times the war
fare has been extremely bitter, but
as usual, the white men have con-
quered. It is the survival of the
fittest again, and the Indians are fast
dying out.
MAKE UNGROUND WHEAT BREAD
Said to Have Higher Food Value Than Ordinary Kind.
The Italians are credited with having invented a method of making bread direct from wheat without grinding it. After being well washed the wheat is soaked in warm water for three days, by which time it has become quite soft. The grain can then be kneaded in the ordinary way, made into loaves and baked after being allowed to "rise." Bread made in this way has a much higher food value than the ordinary article, as even the husk has useful dielectric qualities.
The wheat should be of good quality for this purpose, and, of course should be free from dirt, seeds or other species of grain. Hence, altho no grinding is needed, the processes which precede this operation must be carried out.
In view of the shortage of labor and fuel this process of making bread should be particularly worthy of adoption at the present time.
BOULEVARD IN DESERT
Plank Roadway Laid in Sand in
Arizona.
Between the imperial irrigation district and Yuma, Ariz., the sand is so fine and dry that when a handful is picked up it trickles out of the closed nest like the grains in an hour glass. Imagine, then, the difficulty of traveling over this country in a heavy vehicle, and especially in an automobile. But the significant fact is that the state highway runs through fifty miles of such sand.
Until the California highway commission found a way to combat the sand it was risky for an automobile to travel over this dangerous route, Six miles of portable plank roadway have now been constructed through the worst sections of this desert, says the Popular Science Monthly.
This roadway, eight feet wide, with double width turnouts every 1,000 feet, consists of planks spiked to stringers.
CLOCK RUNS FOR 119 YEARS
Wheels Stop After It Strikes Twelve Strokes.
The clock in the old tower of St. Paul's Church, New York, N. Y., which had ticked off a century of time when war was declared against Spain in 1898, struck 12 ponderous strokes at noon a few days ago, and then for the first time in 119 years its wheels ceased to whirl. New works have been installed.
WORK IN THE HOME
SEVERE ON HEALTH
So Declare Labor Bureau Experts, Who Cite Statistics to Prove Their Statements.
A girl who goes out into the world to earn her living does not have a shorter and sicklier life than the girl who remains at home, or who marries, or who goes to work in some one else's home. The safest possible place for a girl who desires a long and healthy life is in the private office of a business man or in some gainful profession in her own office.
This is on the authority of the bureau of Labor and Commerce, and the United States census, who tells us in prosaic but unmistakable terms that the business man's private secretary has the best possible chance among women for attaining a ripe old age, while the business man's wife (if she does her own work) or his servants have the worst.
Here are figures. Among women engaged in the higher clerical occupations or in the practice of their professions the death rate is 2.7 per 1,000 per year. Among women employed in stores and offices the mortality is 5.6 per 1,000. Those employed in kills, laundries and factories die at the rate of 5.1 per 1,000, while the death rate among domestic servants is 17.1 per 1,000 — a staggering jump, which places the risk of the girl who serves us almost on par with that of the soldier who fights for us. Quite without exception the women who are engaged in what we have always held as the most normal and the most healthful of occupations — women's age-old heritage of housework—run the greatest risk of disease and early death. This same ratio so far as data are available, obtains with women who are fulfilling the duties of wives and mothers—in addition to those of the domestic.
NEW PORTABLE DISINFECTOR
Government Buys Six for Use of U. S. Army.
The Government has recently purchased for our army six disinfectors of a new portable type of purifying fifty uniforms and kits in forty minutes. Either steam or formaldehyde and ammonia are employed as germicides. The outfit consists of a five-horse power upright steam boiler and an airlight chamber, six feet long, mounted on a metal running gear. The rear end of the chamber is provided with a heavy door which can be hermetically sealed. Within is a rack mounted on wheels from which clothing can be hung, while small articles can be placed on an iron grating. After the chamber has been filled with steam from the boiler for the proper length of time, the garments are dried by currents of sterilized air and are then ready to be removed.
REINDEER AS MEAT SUPPLY
Secretary Lane Urges Wider Use of Venison by People.
Reindeer meat to combat the reign of dear meat is suggested by Secretary Lane of the Department of the Interior, who is a strong believer in the future of the reindeer industry of Alaska.
Right here at the gates of America, the Secretary points out, is a new source of supply, demanding recognition, with rapidly multiplying herds, which will in time develop into one if the most important sources of the meat supply of the United States, Secretary Lane believes.
He expects that the phenomenal growth of the Alaskan herds will continue in the future as it has in the past, and that, with the improved transportation facilities resulting from the completion of the new Government railroad, reindeer venison will occupy a conspicuous place on the American dinner table of the future.
MUCH FOOD IN SMALL BULK
War Bread and Biscuits That Swell Like a Soonie
The British "Tommy," when fresh bread is not available, is supplied with what he calls "dog biscuit." It looks just like that, being a thick cracker four inches square and weighing three ounces. Of whole wheat flour pressed solid, it might be described as a condensed loaf of bread. The French have a "war bread" somewhat similar, which, when put into hot water or soup, swells up like a sponge. The famous German "pea sausage" is composed of pea meal, bacon and fat. It was the invention of a Berlin cook, who discovered a process whereby pea meal could be made proof against deterioration. One sausage, eight inches long, yields twelve plates of nutritious soup.
BUYS LITTLE ENGINES.
That the Russians have made extensive plans for establishing easily adjustable rail communication between various divisions of their fighting armies and between the armies and the supply bases, is shown by the fact that the Russian government has ordered 350 liquid fuel locomotives of a special type from a Philadelphia locomotive works.
These tractors weigh seven and a half tons each and run on tracks approximately twenty-nine and a half inches wide. These narrow guage tracks can be moved about easily. Popular Mechera. a.
THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JUNE 5. 1920.
Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years, to secure its enactment into
Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.)
Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the person receiving it from earning a paycheck by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.)
Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the city in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.)
Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover, from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.)
Section 6282. The legal representative of a person dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be applied to the maintenance of the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share. If there be no widow or minor children surviving such decedent, such sum shall be distributed among the next of kin according to the laws of the distribution of the personality of an intestate. Such sum so recovered shall not be a part of the estate of such person so lynched, nor be subject to any of his liabilities. (93 v 162 6.)
Section 6283. A person suffering death or injury from a mob attempting to lynch another person shall come within the provisions of this chapter. He or his legal representatives shall have a like right of action as one purposely injured or killed by such a mob. (93 v 162 6.)
Section 6284. Action for the recoveries provided for in this chapter must be commenced, within two years from the date of such lynching, in any court having original jurisdiction of an action for damages for malicious assault. (93 v. 162 7)
Section 6285. An order to the commissioner of a county, against which such recovery is had, to include it with the costs of action, in the next succeeding tax levy for such county, shall be a part of the judgment in every such case. (93 v. 162 8.)
Section 6286. If the decedent so lynched has minor children surviving him, the fund shall be turned over to a regularly appointed guardian. Such guardian shall administer such fund under the direction of the probate judge, allowing not more than five hundred dollars for counsel fees in the action for such recovery. (93 v. 162 9.)
Section 6287. The county, in which a lynching occurs, may recover the amount of a judgment and costs against it in favor of the legal repressors. If the person killed or seriously injured by a mob from any of the persons composing such mob. A person present, with hostile intent, at such lynching shall be deemed a member of the mob and be liable to such action. (93 v. 162 10.)
Section 6288. If a mob carries a prisoner into another county, or comes from another county to commit violence on a prisoner brought from such county for safekeeping, the county in which the lynching is committed may recover the amount of the judgment and costs from the county from which the mob came, unless there was contributory negligence on the part of officials of such county in failing to protect such prisoner or disprove such mob. (93 v 163 11.1)
Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.)

Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894:
The General Code of Ohio:
General Code of Ohio.
Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to the proprietor and regardless of race or color, the willful placement of the seo-communications, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both.
Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed.
This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as them what they should it to do for themselves, under it, in the courts
MANY THINGS MADE
OUT OF PAPER NOW
Already Fiber Has Taken Place of
Since the establishment of the Forest Service the public has learned a host of things about lumber, but more interesting to the lay reader are the results of experiments with lumber waste. Who in the last generation would have dreamed that some day we would be making artificial skins from sawdust? Yet that is exactly what is being done. Other fabrics are successfully being woven also. That all our clothing eventually may be made from wood pulp paper fabrics, and be both durable and inexpensive, is not beyond present possibility.
Lumber waste that once was considered worthless now is mixed with small quantities of wood pulp, made into paper, sometimes mixed with cotton or wooden fleece, and then spun into "silk" neckties and "silk" socks. Nor are these the only commodities that are being so made with success. It is already a matter of economy to manufacture articles from spun paper which range in diversity from furniture and rugs to suit cases and flour bags.
Equally as interesting is the manner in which the paper is spun into twine and into thread. In a process for making twine the paper is first cut into long strips about one inch wide. These strips are then passed thru a machine which corrugate them in the direction of their lengths. These are then twisted by hand into the shape of twine. The twine is finally reduced to the proper diameter by feeding it into other machines, which wind the thread up tightly. A process of this kind is used for making the larger size twines and ropes, and for heavy cables for towing ships.
For making the thread that is used in clothing, another preliminary process must be used. In this a wide sheet of moistened wood pulp is tied into a compression roller under another sheet of either cotton or woolen fleece of the same width. Both sheets are quite soft, so that after they have been forced thru the heavy rollers they will come out with their fibres interengaged and in the form of one solid web. The duplex web so formed is then placed in a cutting machine and divided into long narrow strips. These may then be hand-twisted and spun in a manner similar to that used in making the finer twines described above.
Thus paper mattings are taking the place of burlap wall papers; they are serving as backing for linoleums and oilcloths, and they are being used in great great quantities in the making of fancy paper novelties. And these facts become all the more amazing when we consider that the entire spun paper industry is but a few years old. By far the most astonishing progress, however, has been made in the substitution of spun paper for expensive cotton and flax in the making

MAN CURED OF A BROKEN BACK
Surgery Saves Life After Injury by Automobile.
Robert Baldwin, 21, of Bellevue, Del., whose back was broken on Feb. 2 when an automobile he was driving turned over on him, has been released from Delaware Hospital at Wilmington, Del., as cured, after one of the most delicate and remarkable operations ever performed at that institution.
As soon as he had been admitted to the hospital he was placed on the operating table and the tenth vertebra removed from his spine. This bone was broken, and in addition three other vertebra were dislocated. Dr. Harold Suringer of Wilmington, performed the operation, which is said to be one of the most difficult and rarely successful.
Upon his discharge from the hospital, on a recent morning, Baldwin walked a distance of a city block with the aid of crutches. His legs were weak, but he found no trouble in getting around with the crutches. He is arranging to be exhibited before surgical clinics in several cities.
WHY STORM EXPLODES HOUSES
Funnel Cloud Transforms Building Into a Bomb.
The most remarkable phenomenon connected with tornadoes is the explosion of houses, which literally burst, scattering their fragments in all directions. Sometimes substantial dwellings are carried high into the air and then explode.
It is now understood that this is due to the fact that the funnel cloud (revolving at a rate of at least 500 miles an hour) has a vacuum inside. Thus it sucks up everything in its path, even emptying wells. It sucks all the air from around a house over which it passes, and the house (a vacuum being thus created outside of it) promptly explodes owing to the pressure of the air, at thirty pounds to the square inch, from within.
The house, in a word, is transformed into a bomb.

A PRIVILEGE
It is a privilege to fearlessly
stand for the right—
Not a sacrifice, even though you
go down.
They count not the cost, who
fight the good fight.
And unflinchingly face the
sneer or the rrown.
Joseph C. Manning.
OUR LESSON
We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount.

"HUMAN NATURE'S
FOULEST BLOT."
My ear is pained
My soul is sick with every day's report
Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled.
There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart.
It does not feel for man: the natural bond
Of brotherhood is severed as the flax
That falls asunder at the touch of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not colored like his own: and killing power
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys:
'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot.
—Cowper.
