A little caution now will save you much worry later. Cilmax, the king of instant hair straighteners for men, cannot injure your hair, and in five minutes your hair is changed from the harsh, kinky kind to that soft, silky, glossy kind that everybody admires. State chemists have stamped their O. K. upon Cilmax as harmless. Cilmax should always be used with X-Ray Hair Shine. The latter is a finishing dressing which restores the natural color of the hair and puts on the finishing gloss. The two sent postpaid to may address in the U. S. upon receipt of $1.35.

Cleveland, Ohio. My dear friend Smith:—You have every reason to rejoice over the wonderful victory. The humiliating defeat of the Democratic party is a striking and everlasting repudiation of their dirty tactics. That party is a menace to American civilization and a great, big, huge black spot upon its history. I know it is a source of great pride to you to have been with our President-elect from the beginning to the grand and glorious end. I regret very much that our two worthy candidates for the Legislature were defeated but the blame and the shame is on the other side. Hope to see you soon and have a chat. There are many things to talk about. The Aeolian Course Comes Again! The Aeolian Concert Course presents Mme.

Wilson autocracy, impudent, intolerant, dictatorial, and Democratic inefficiency, extravagances, wastefulness are the source of the 1920 avalanche. The people of this democratic country have had all they could stand or would stand of Czarism. And the people, have had all they could stand or would stand of the Democratic party management of their affairs—a management that has well, high bankrupted the Treasury in spite of the fact that it is squeezing the life blood out of the people in taxation.—N. Y. Daily Herald. "But, oh my friends, happy and proud as I am, am bending my mind upon the future and its responsibilities the things that must be done for America first, duties that must be attempted for civilization.

A Governor of Ohio and a nominee of the great Democratic party for the highest honor within the gift of the American people started out on his travels, and a Coxey came back—a side-stepping, mud-slinging little demagogue of ward-polities, character and caliber. As an exhibit to the entire country of, just the size and kind of a man who, would never under any circumstances do for a President of the United States, Coxey's tour was a shining success. But at that point its interest and value ceased. * * * If only Coxey had not shown himself such a vicious, shin-kicking, mud-slinging Coxey, there really would be an open door for something like pity for the poor little chap—Harvey's Weekly. J. Dr. W. S. Scarborough, Wilberforce O., was recently elected a member of the American Japan Society of New York. This organization, founded several years ago, his for one of its objects the promotion of a closer and more friendly, relationship between America and Japan. It has a membership of 1200 prominent Americans of Japanese, and meets in New York City, monthly. Dr. Scarborough returned recently from a meeting of the society. APPLYING LAW TO THE SOUTH With the 1920 census figures before it, Congress will soon have to take up the question of reapportioning the membership of the House. There are now 425 members, on the basis of one for 210,501 persons. A reduction rather than an increase of membership is being strongly urged. This could be accomplished by apportioning representation on the basis of the Presidential vote instead of upon the basis of population. This would reduce the entire membership, but would especially affect the southern representation. The states which do not allow Negroes to vote would be particularly hard hit. Section 2 of the Fourteenth amendment to the Constitution provides that "when the right to vote is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such states being 21 years of age and citizens of the United State, or in any way abridged except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein, SHALL be reduced in the same proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens 21 years of age in such state." The eleven states of the "solid south" have about a fifth of the nation's population, but out of a total Presidential vote of 18,528,743 in 1916 they cast only 1,796,108 ballots. A condition where eleven southern states, plus Oklahoma, have fewer voters than Illinois, but five times its representation in Congress and in the electoral college certainly calls for correction. The situation mentioned does not take into consideration the new woman vote. Southern members of Congress did not hesitate to declare, when fighting the enabling resolution for submission of the woman suffrage amendment, that Negro women would never be allowed to vote in their section. If the south persists in its policy of deliberate disfranchisement, it cannot complain if it suffers the direct legal consequences of its course and has its representation reduced in Congress and the electoral college to accord with its actual vote at the polls.—N.

The fact that the United Delaware Legislature, Nov. 2, 20, States is not a member of the League being the first African-American to be is not pertinent, since the undertaking thus benefited in that state. The League of Nations has been upset. The decision is to scrap it. The sooner it is done the better for all concerned. A campaign of bitterness and slander has closed with the slanders losing ignominiously. Mr Harding is now in Texas graciously announcing that we are one people with no north not south, no east not west. This is pleasing to the ear but in fact there is a south with all of its ignoble traits. It has been invaded and today the charmed circle of concerted violence has been broken. Light is dawning in upon Bourbons and if the right thing is done, greater gains will be experienced in the south as the years go by, for decent and orderly government. The one thing that confronts the incoming administration is the enforcement of the constitution. Our constitution has been laid on the scrap pile for nearly eight years. The south and its, interests have been on the things uppermost. Negroes in this nation have been humiliated and reduced to slavery. At every turn of the road they have been to feel that this is not their country. Sooner or later there must be one law for all or later must be in America. This law must be enforced inpartially and justly in the defence of every man! There are some of us who have made up our minds that will have no rights in this country until our rights and privileges are commensal with our responsibilities when the nation necesus to defend it and protect its borders. No man in America must have the right to insult or maltreat the colored people of America. We are as honorable and patriotic as anybody. The attempt to set up this country as "a white man's country" must miserably fail. The attempt to maintain a racial superiority in American government will also fail. A government run upon the accidents of color and skin will not meet the test of this government. As a black race we make no bones of the fact that we intend to have EVERYTHING any other race has. We shall have it or give serious trouble. Sometimes war is preferable to peace when peace comes and is maintained by brutal oppression. The incoming administration was assaulted by this virus of race prejudice and color blood. The Creator never made Startling as it may seem, and preposterous as it would be, there is unfortunately only too much reason in the suggestion that Haiti could and may appeal to the League of Nations for protection against the aggressions of the United States. These are the facts of record and the logical arguments in the case: Haiti is one of the signatories of the Versailles Treaty and one of the charter members of the League of Nations. She is therefore, equally with the other members, entitled to all the rights, privileges, immunities and benefits of the League. The Covenant of the League in Article Ten pledges all members of the League to "preserve as against external aggression the existing political independence of all members of the League." Therefore, the British Empire Hedjaz, France, Liberia and all the rest are pledged to preserve against external aggression the political independence of Haiti. The United States, being a power external to Haiti, has for some time committed and is still committing aggressions against the political independence of that Republic. It has compelled that country, through military force, to abrogate its constitution and to accept against its will a new constitution arbitrarily prescribed for it by this country—a new constitution which Mr. F. D. Roosevelt now denies that he ever said he wrote, though a con- IN UNION WE STRONG S AND in Referendum" Warren G.

All honor to right thinking Americans of every race that smote that lie with a vengeance that will not need to be repeated. A referendum on southern hypocrisy has also been had and the promoters of the referendum have been routed. It is time for the men who have damned the south and disgraced America to be driven out of politics. The southern politician has maintained red-light districts for his own race, resorts where white men and low-colored women consort and in turn have dragged/the names of decent white women into the mire in order that they might profit politically. The southern white male politician has been and is the beast of American civilization. (Rev.)-Wm. A. Byrd. of protection is against aggression by non-members as well as by members. Neither can any treaty or other arrangement between the United States and Haiti be pleaded in the case, since all treaties repugnant to the Covenant of the League are automatically voided and annulled. It now appears that among the thousands (3,250) of indiscriminate killings of Haitians by American Marines, "there may have been cases of women being shot." Also, there is reason to suspect that there have been cases of flogging, strangulation, and other physical tortures inflicted upon Haitians, to extort confessions and information from them. All of which superbly exemplifies the fine service to humanity which the Administration of Woodrow Wilson has performed in the land of Toussaint L'Ouverture, and the effective manner in which our President has commended this country to the affection and confidence of all Spanish America. Also, it convincingly confirms the appreciative tribute of (Secretary of the U. S. Navy) Sir Joseph Daniels, N. C. B., D. S. M., etc., in which he asserted that the Marines who butchered Haitian women were worthy comrades of those who fought in Belleau Wood—Havrevy Weekly, N. Y. City. The N. Y. World said, recently, that "even if true" there is nothing in the history of Senator Hartling's Negro ancestry that is new, and "noting that reflects in the slightest degree upon his character or capacity." J. C. Ashbury and Andrew Stevens were elected to the Pennsylvania legislature from Philadelphia, representing sixth and seventh districts, respectively, with a majority of 5,500 votes. Dr. Henry Piper was elected to the Delaware Legislature, Nov. 2, 20, being the first Afro-American to be thus honored in that state.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1920. Could Gov. Cox have foreseen the outcome of the election he would scarcely have named his home, "Trail's End." Southern Democrats "ran the Wilson administration into the ground" and did the same thing for the Cox campaign. As usual, "the colored man and brother" seems to have been the only sufferer as a result of that vicious southern Democratic propaganda in the North during the recent campaign. As we go to press, rumor has it that Mr. Henry Higgins of Cincinnati, has also been defeated, according to the latest count. We sincerely hope the report is not true. The only place in the country where they are holding protective tariff conventions is in the South. The North is and always has been for an America first tariff, and now the leading minds of the South are trying to convince the people of that section that their best interests lie along the same That miserable southern Democratic campaign literature defeated the three Afro-American legislative candidates in Cleveland (Cuyahoga County), the two in Columbus (Franklin County) and our candidate for coroner, Dr. T. W. Burton, in Springfield (Clarke County). The only one to survive the vicious and contemptible attack was Mr. Henry Higgins of Cincinnati (Hamilton County), who will be Ohio's only Afro-American member of the Ohio Legislature for the next two years. Congratulations, Friend Higgins! The giant battleship Tennessee, now undergoing her trials off the Atlantic Coast, is the latest addition to our fleet. Plans have been prepared for a still more formidable class of fighting ships, to carry twelve 16-inch guns. Our navy is growing larger and stronger all the time, but fortunately it is going to be used only for American defense. The decisive rejection of the league of nations is assurance that our ships will never be sent into foreign waters wantonly to oversee other nations with which the United States had no quarrel. One of the first duties of the new Republican administration, in co-operation with the Republican Congress that will assemble after March 4th next, will be to salvage that part of the national wealth that will be found in the process of being deliberately wasted by the retiring Democrats. Probably the largest part of that waste is in connection with the disposition of war material. Stories appear almost every day in the press telling of the wanton destruction of automobiles, cannon of all kinds, ordnance stores, miscellaneous quartermaster supplies, etc. In addition, camp sites, munition depots, and production plants of all sorts are being sold for but a fraction of the investment which the Government has in them. There is little doubt that much of that War Department property should be preserved as reserve equipment for the Army. Much of it, on the other hand, will never be of further service, and should be disposed of as advantageously as possible. None of it should be permitted to remain longer under conditions that cause its rapid deterioration and ultimate loss. Republican re-construction will mean not only providing for the future, but saving as much as possible from the prodigal period from which we are about to emerge. THE CRISIS WAS WRONG. All readers of the Crisis congratulate its editor upon the high place he has attained and holds among scholarly men of the world. His writings have been an inspiration to many a young man desiring to realize and secure a place in the world that is worth while. No one has the right to call the editor of the Crisis to task for being a Socialist, for that is his prerogative—to support whatever political party he may desire. As an editor of a magazine that gets its support primarily from our people who are Republicans, he should at least respect the political opinions of his readers. His right to attempt to educate them so as to see the wisdom of his political creed, no one denies. But in the hour of our supreme effort to put out of power the greatest enemy the race or the country has had in the presidency, certainly our people expected wise guidance and assistance from the Crisis. Frederick Douglass' statement that the "Republican party is the ship and all else is the sea" was bitterly assaulted by the Crisis and in the conclusion of its recent attack informed the world that it "preferred the sea." Most assuredly all of us dissented from the learned editor, and submit that in accepting the Socialist creed, he has fallen hopelessly into a sea which will drown him. It must have been evident to the Crisis that there was not a ghost of a chance for the Socialist party to win the recent election and that either the Democratic or Republican candidate would be the next president. Therefore, why should our voters drown their votes in the sea of Socialistic menace? Why should our voters strike below the belt the party that has given us what liberties we have? Is it not a fact that some of our educated men have kept themselves out of active participation in Republican politics and left the field primarily to the office-hunting incompetent class that gets "theirs" either at the nominating conventions or by some unimportant appointment after the election, while the race as a whole gets nothing? In other words the race has been generally sold out for one or two jobs to active office-seekers. If the Crisis would lead a manly fight within the Republican party for rights and privileges, leading the host of independent Afro-Americans who don't want office but RIGHTS, it would be a power in the country and an asset to the race, but with its attack upon the faith of the majority of its readers, it was casting itself into the ocean of uselessness. Sensible Afro-Americans of all parties saw the wisdom, this year, in voting for Harding and Coolidge. Their advice to the rank and file of our voters was to do likewise. Of course, all of us, this year, agreed with the wise and great Frederick Douglass—that "the Republican party is the ship and all else is the sea." MORE ANIMAL THAN MAN Convict Can Neither Read Nor Write And Grew Up Like A Beast CANON CITY, Colo.—Probably the most ignorant man ever received at the "Colorado State Penitentiary is Cruz Romero, recently under sentence of death for murder, but who was saved from an untimely end by Gov. Shoup, who commited his sentence to life imprisonment. Romero is not an inmecile; he is not feeble-minded. He is simply a child of nature, uncultured, untaught and animal-like in his instincts. Born in southern Colorado, he was left an orphan at an early age by the death of his father and mother. Knowing no home or friends, he was kicked about from place to place like a stray dog and grew up without civilization apparently giving any heed to him. Romero never went to school a day in his life and consequently can neither read nor write. He speaks only a very few words of broken English, and the Mexican jargon that he uses perhaps does not comprise a vocabulary of more than 100 words. Living a more or less law-abiding life, he grew up herding sheep on the solitary wastes or engaged in the most mental labor; and all the time as ignorant of the moral precepts of Christian civilization as of its book lore. It was the gross ignorance of this man, coupled with the fact that the State had not done its duty toward him, that impelled Gov. Shoup to commute his sentence. He argued that for the State to take the life of such a man would be no more consistent than to hang a child or a dumb animal for such a crime. Since his reprieve, Romero has been taken from the death cell and put to work in the wash houses of the prison. As soon as the prison school opens he will be enrolled and for the first time in his life he given a chance to secure the rudiments of an education. Warden Tynan, who is openly opposed to capital punishment under any circumstances, says in reply to critics who contend that life-timers are solemn kept at the prison for their great length, but are ever freed and again turned loose on society, that there has not been a single life-timer pardoned at the Colorado prison in the last twelve years. At present out of a prison population of about 700 there are 126 life-timers. Anything but Poar. Patience—Ever bear him sing? Patrice—Indeed, I have. "I think he is a very poor tenor." "Poor, indeed! You ought to see how he spends money when he takes me out to dinner!" Not Certain. "You know our trials, we really gain by our trials in life."

PROFIT SHARING IN AGRICULTURE FARMER IN CAPE COLONY IN TRODUCES SYSTEM WITH NATIVE LABORERS AND ACHIEVES GRATIFY- ING RESULTS PRODUCTION INGREASES Laborers Show New Interest In Their Work, Doing More Than They Are Obliged To LONDON, England—To those who are in favor of giving their employees a share of the profit in agriculture, or in any other kind of business, the results of an experiment made by Mr. John Bickerdyle, a farmer in the Western Province of Cape Colony, will be of special interest. In the Cape Times, Mr. Bickerdyle tells how he was led to begin a system of profit sharing with his native laborers, and something of the results that ensued. "It is a sort of proverb in the Cape," he says, "that the Dutch-speaking farmers know better than anyone else how to handle natives, and for the first year I adopted local methods. That is to say, I hardly spoke to a man except to give him an order, and either supervised work myself or had an assistant to do it. At the end of the first year, during which very much had been out and very little coming in, I reviewed the whole position, and came to the conclusion that the most important thing on the farm, viz., the labor, was very unsatisfactory. The men were civil and obedient, certify, but listless, showing no interest in their work, and not doing any more than they were obliged to." As the result of a good deal of thought Mr. Bickerdyke called his boys together, told them that he was going to treat them as free man that that he expected to get honest work from them in return for the wages paid to them, that he would trust them, and that if he could not run his farm on these lines he would give up farming. His offer to share profits and how it was received may best be told in the farmer's own words. "If they were good to me and acted honestly I intended to give them a share in the produce of the farm, and if they did not under these new conditions do their best to make the farm a success they would be, in my opinion, the stupidest boys in Cape Colony. For every lamb or young pig that reached the age of three months they would get 6d, for every bull calf 2s, 6d, for every cow calf 5s, for every mule 10s, for every horse or oats, 4d, for every oats or oats, 4d, and 4d, respectively; and when my young vines and fruit trees came into bearing, they would get their share of that profit also. On each dozen eggs or pound of butter they would get 1d. All these sums would be lumped together and divided equally among them at Christmas, except that the small boys would have one man's share divided among them. "This gift, for so I preferred to call it at the outset of the experiment, would be dependent on good behavior, and no boy would be entitled to anything if he left me before Christmas. The boys, from the old shepherd down to the stable lad, listened attentively and gravely—at first looking somewhat puzzled, then amazed, and lastly their white teeth gleamed as delighted smiles showed on their faces when they realized that they really were to have an interest in the produce of the farm, and were to be treated as men, rather than as mules or oxen. On the outcome Mr. Bickerdyke says: "It is extremely pleasing to set and record the results far exceeded my expectations. It will have been noted that each boy was rewarded, not for the success of his own particular department, but in respect of the farm generally; and, as I had anticipated, this led to every man becoming interested in the entire work of the farm, besides giving me of his best in his own department. Eggs are things on which a heavy toil is levied, for farm chickens lay all over the place. Many of their nests are discovered by the boys' children and the contents taken to the cottages. Now the very first thing I noticed after our indaba was that my hems had apparently begun to lay uncommonly well, and I drew my own conclusions. The shepherd was been good before because still better, she sheep left out and killed by jackals rarely occurred. There came a record lambing season; mule breeding, which had at first been rather a feature, began to improve; right through the stock there were fewer losses, and cases of illness were immediately reported to me and much loss avoided. "In the agricultural work there was a very marked improvement. During the plowing season, the boys, without any pressure from me, arose early and did excellent plowing. If the midday spen of oxen were a little late, the grumbling was far louder on the part of the plowmen who were hindered than on the part of the master. In the previous year it always seemed that the later the oxen the better the plowmen were pleased, for it gave the men a longer midday rest. I noticed too, that the greatest pains were taken to look after the oxen at night. In commenting on this experiment The Christian Express says that it does not doubt that other farmers who have been working along the same lines have met with much success. The gain to South Africa would be immense if the practice of profit sharing, not only on farms, but in other lines of work, were to become general.

Or, in the case of an indiscreet army officer, it may cost a court-martial here, a dishonorable discharge, and any number of months in a military prison. Flirting, especially with female war workers, is now ranked with the most hazardous employments in Washington. One of Washington's 30 or more "skirted cops" will get you if you don't watch out. In fact, they have already landed several masculine flirters who were watching out and employing the utmost care and circumspection. Mrs. Van Winkle, formerly of Newark, N. J., is in charge of the capital city's woman police corps. She is the embodiment of relentless vigilance. She has the rank and pay of a regular detective sergeant. She and her staff of picked plain clothes women are constantly on the trail of the luckless male fliers. They haunt the Union station, the mix in the throngs at the dance halls, they spy in the parks and they keep an eagle eye on the hotel corridors and lobbies. Recently they raided a suite of rooms in one of Washington's most fashionable hotels with the result that three army officers—one a major—were trapped in the company of three susceptible young war workers. Courtmortials were promptly arranged for the officers and the girls were sent to their homes in distant cities. Dance hall victims of female police activity are frequent. A male worker seeking frivolous relaxation must discriminate with great caution or he may pick for a partner one of Mrs. Winkle's dainty and decoupled cops who may suddenly thash a badge, tell him he's gone too far, and call her. Of course, Mrs. Winkle's staff are college graduates, many have had social settlement work, two or three of them are said to beat Theodora Bara in the art of vamping, and one who specializes on parks is the relative of a member of cogress. Just now Mrs. Van Winkle and her force are under fire by one of Washington's newspapers. The charge is that while the Washington police force under Major Raymond Pullman, a former newspaper man, is spending its energies and the public funds to eliminate comparatively harmless offenses, crimes of violence have increased and multiplied, criminals run at large uncaught, and the nation's capital has been disgraced by one of the bloodiest race riots that ever occurred in the United States. But for all that Mrs. Van Winkle goes serenely on. She is a woman of independent means and is not dependent on this job for a living. She is zealous, incessant and remorseless. Her private motor car and chauffeur are always at the service of the police department. Crime or no crime, flirting must be abolished in Washington. MONUMENT TO AN APPLE. COLUMBUS. O—One hundred and two years ago a small boy with faith in nature planted an apple tree on the bank of the Ohio River in Lawrence County. This tree was one in which the graft had failed to grow and a sprout came up from below the point of union. The boy's father, thinking it worthless, threw it to him, saying: "Here's a Democrat, you may have that." The sprout became the original tree of the Rome Beauty variety. Thus a merest chance, an accident, gave to Ohio the tree which was to bring it its greatest fame as an apple producing State. In appreciation of the many excellent qualities of the apple and of the great beauty it has had in Ohio's fruit industry the Ohio State Horticultural Society will place a stone and tablet as a memorial. If there was no other instance this one would prove that fruit growers are able to mix sentiment with their work, to love their industry and to show it to the world. The original Rome Beauty tree stood on the bank of the Ohio River about two miles from Proctorville. It disappeared into the river in a landslide some years ago. The memorial will be placed in an appropriate spot where it can be seen and appreciated. The original orchard is the main travelled tree. The memorial site is yerhaps a little more than a quarter of a mile from the spot where grew the original tree. DOG A FIRE HERO CLEVELAND, O.—A dog saved the sleeping family of its master from five recently by opening a door arousing the slumberers. The dog is "Baby," a pet. Louis J. Pagani, his wife and three relatives, who were visiting them, believe they owe their lives to the dog. "Baby" had learned a trick of opening the back door when it wanted to get into the house. It had been taught never to do this at night, but to stay in its Kennel in the yard. "Baby" disobeyed orders, opened the door and ran upstairs. Outside Pagani's bedroom he dog barked until Pagani was aroused. He found the bathroom adjoining his room in flames. Pagani aroused the household and turned on the alarm. Firemen continued the blaze to the bathroom which was wrecked, with damage of about $100.

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 coached like his own: and having 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. --- I "My Complexion Is Much Brighter!"

In the front is located the large, roomy reception room with beautiful new furniture and with a stenographer and telephone girl. Dr. Bundy has two modernly equipped rooms with all sanitary appliances including sterilization and ionization outfits, extraction cabinet and the latest implements for crown and bridgework. These two up-to-date practitioners deserve credit for their progressive spirit. Thos. Berryman's and Hooker Page's injunction application against Rev. Chas. Bundy, the newly appointed pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church, was heard by Judge Levine, last Friday. A referendum vote of the membership of the church was ordered by the judge and is being taken, the votes being sent thru the mails. This is to determine whether or not Dr. Bundy is to be permitted to remain as pastor of St. John's, it is said. As noted in our last issue, the largest, A. M. E. churches in New York City, Chicago and Philadelphia are having, similar troubles all of which is to be greatly regretted because of the harm done the churches. Certain members of the church protested Dr. Bundy's assignment to St. John's before and at the recent Marion conference of the church but Bishop Joshua H. Jones decided against them.

"Industrial education—that is, the need of American girls today," Mrs. Braxton said. "We are trying to fit the 125 colored boys and girls at our school for practical usefulness in the world. There are even white girls graduated with degrees from colleges, who don't know the difference between a White Leghorn and a Plymouth Rock hen. To know such things is part of every housewife's job." Mrs. Braxton is accompanied by a quartet of jubilee singers, an elocutionist and a reader, who are giving programs in Ohio cities to raise the $25,000 tuna Five thousand dollars is sought, in Cleveland, where the party will remain three weeks.

REFORM IN PRISON SYSTEM REFORM IN PRISON SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS AND ALTERATIONS, HELD UP BY THE WAR, INVOLVED TO BE BROUGHT INTO ACTION SHORT SENTENCES OPPOSED. Program Of Two Humane Societies Devoted To The Reform Of Prison Life in Britain LONDON, England—Many of the alterations and improvements in prison systems, which have been proposed by those intimately acquainted with the subject, have been held up by the war, but a great effort must now be made to bring them into active working. Nothing is more evident than the remarkable change in the attitude of the public toward crime and criminals; there is a systematic demand for investigation as to what constitutes crime, together with a deep sense of responsibility toward those who, for the protection of society at large, need to be segregated and controlled. It is no exaggeration to say that amongst thinking people the desire merely to punish has been supplanted by the more intelligent wish to improve such individuals as come under the ban of the law. Degradation, mechanical and useless work, and depressing surroundings tend to lower self-respect, however elementary, so that it has become evident that systems retaining such conditions are useless and consequently wasteful. One of the primary necessities is a more thorough classification of all persons sent to prison for long or short periods, but it is even more important to try and prevent the great majority from ever reaching prison at all. Probably much of the present system of punishment for slight offenses came about because it was an easy method, but public opinion has passed the stage when mere convenience would be used as an argument, and the fact that three out of five of the persons who go to jail have already passed through its gates before shows that as a deterrent imprisonment is a failure The short sentence has but few friends or admirers. It achieves little if any reform, and it is obvious that there is no reason why it should do so. It must be remembered that the great proportion of offenders are the direct result of social neglect, of overcrowding and congestion, of ignorance and general low standard. Cases coming from such environment require to be retained for sufficient time to permit of the stincts being developed, for to plunges the back again into the surroundbags, until a desire for something better has been evoked, is merely to waste both time and public money and, most important of all, potential manhood. Every prison visitor knows from experience that many of those who find their way to prison are obviously mint to be judged by normal standards. Under chosen conditions improvement may be made, and here again, an increase of homes for those who require special care will be required, such cases tending less and less to reach prison at all, Well-defined cases do not do so now, but there are also the border-line people, who must be provided for. It is interesting to note the program of the two societies devoted to the reform of prison life in Great Britain. In all essential work their aims are identical. The policy of the Howard Association is to improve prison life in every way, or, to quote from its published pamphlet: "To arouse and develop the manhood or womanhood of a prisoner, all healthy and refining influences should be brought to bear. Personal cleanliness and habits of self-respect should be encouraged in every way. clothes should not be bideous and illlitting, the surroundings (while plain and simple) should be bright and elevating, and work that is really useful and educative should be provided. Above all, human interpersonal skills, with the right sort of person, should be encouraged in every possible way, and endeavors should be made to interest the prisoners in things that elevate and refine—by lectures, discussions, music, singing, and the like." "Prison," says the Howard Association, "should always be the last resort," and it therefore recommends the development of methods other than prison, particularly for the young; the extension of the probation system with properly trained and paid officers and enforcement of that clause of the Act of 1914, that time should be given for the payment of lines. In cases of fraud and theft the magistrate should try and enforce compensation by installment, as is done in cases of civil debt, and this would serve to supply the element of deterrence, often felt to be lacking in the system of probation. The Penal Reform League is equally insistent upon the great necessity for improving the personnel of prisons, and urges the appointment of women as trained nurses, stewards, etc., and to the higher posts in women's prisons. At present neither the conditions of work or the pay of prison officials are good. The abolition of punishment of warders has long been advanced by the Penal Reform League and is now under consideration by the Home Office. It is obvious that an officer who requires punishment is unit for his post. The league also advocates the abolition of adverse private reports not shown to the officers reported against.

THE SMITH ST One of the greatest problems of the photographer during the Holiday season is the enormous congestion of work, usually coming in the last half of November and the month of December, and almost a continuous cessation of settings during the month of October. The result is that the photographer and helpers are compelled to work day and night, and very often call in extra help, usually experienced, pay additional money for overtime, and although making every effort to produce the very best, we can never do quite so well as when we have plenty of time. 15 PER CENT DISCOUNT ON ALL PHOTOGRAPHS To overcome these problems this year we are going to give a discount of 15% on all photographs, providing sittings are made before November 20th.

Real Artists Are Becoming More Practical In The Face Of The Financial Ravages Of H. C. L. LONDON, England—British manufacturers, especially those in the textile and metal-working industries, are said to be keenly appreciative of the necessity of better and more artistic designs for their goods and to be seeking the greater cooperation of artists. A movement is under way to bring art and commerce into closer relations, and it is reported that the response of museums and organizations of artists has been cordial. If this is true—and there seems no reason whatever to question the accuracy of the report—it shows an altogether new spirit on the part of artists. Hitherto their traditional attitude toward commerce has been of bloominess. To call an artist "commercial" has been a mortal insult. Of course, artistry in modern industry is recognized commonplace, and there are thousands of "commercial artists" whose work is a mighty factor in business. But "artist" is a much inclusive word, and there is an implicit distinction between those who practice "art for art's sake" by painting pictures solely for the graftification of the eye and those who design pictureresale advertising, gingham, patterns, bottle labels, bedspreads, garment fabrics and new automobile bodies. In short, about Art with a capital. There is an implied sanctity, and there has been an unwritten law that it should not be profaned by too close contact with commerce. Those who employ their talent to boost or beautify the ordinary utilities, of life are regarded by "artists" as on a lower plane, as no more than mere craftsmen at the best. Art will brook no rigals and will tolerate the presence of no substitutes, or near-limitation. When an artist is considered to have alluded, the divine torch is seeking a livelihood making pictures for magazines, he is no longer cared for an "artist," for it is held that he has become an "illustrator," and he is no designated. For his own delight he may magnify paint pictures that can command approval, but his work as an illustrator, except an art, instances is not recognized as real art. If this distinction arises in the general work of illustration, there is a much more ambivalent distinction in the case of about all lines of artistic endeavor that are strictly commercial. In fact, the word "commercial" is regarded by Art with abstention, except as it may relate to the traffic in Rembrandt, Corpus and such. It is matter of reproach for an artist to become "commercial" even in the sense of painting pictures "to sell"—that is, pictures that are deflatterly calculated to appeal to the popular taste. In the aristocracy of Art it seems to be assumed that the highest expression of art is that which very few people see in paintings, perhaps in picture pictures that nobody wants is likely to be regarded by his fellows with great admiration as a follower of High Ideals. And yet it is a strange fact that the greatest artists of all ages have been those whose ideals seem to have coincident to a remarkable degree with the tastes of the crowd. Of course, "commercial artists" are and will continue to be co-opting with commerce to the full extent of their ability. It would not seem necessary to stimulate their ambition in any way. Obviously, this British movement for a closer union between Art and Commerce has to do with artists—those whom for the sake of distinction we may call "real artists." In view of their reported enthusiasm over the project perhaps it may be concluded that artists are becoming more practical. The H. C. of L. has been sweeping educative, and the C. of H. L. has also sharpened the appreciation of practical considerations. Even artists like to drive their own motor cars, and a steady job as designer on a manufacturer may supply the gasoline rather more reliably than petroleum for an uncertain public. Still, it is to be hoped that artists will not turn to this new cooperation with commerce with too much cost and in too great numbers. The world will continue to want painters. The movement affords a needed opportunity for a weeding-out process in the fields of art. Many a good painter has been lost to the world because of the curious determination to pursue Art at all hazards. If the bars are let down by this new enlightenment society is bound to gain many capable signpainters and gingham designers. That is one attractive feature—really the only one reported—about the Russian Soviet Government. It is attempting to encourage Art by a process of restraint and elimination. As the conditions have been reported, there is a Commissary of Popular Enlightenment in Russia, one of the branches of which is the Bureau of the Prolet-Kul, which controls art and education. As we understand the principle of the system, artists are compelled by the Bolsheviks to prove that they are not truly duly licensed by the Government, but otherwise they are forced into some other line of activity. If they are good enough they may become sign-painters, but when a man shows up too poorly under the test he may find himself a blacksmith's helper or almost anything. GARDENING SCHOOL The New York Botanical Garden Set Aside For That Purpose NEW YORK—Soldiers who are being taught practical gardening at the New York Botanical Garden are binding both profit and enjoyment in their work. "There is today," N. L. Britton, Director of the Botanical Garden, said, "a real scarcity of trained gardeners everywhere. Here-tofore most of the gardeners have been British, Dutch, or Germans, trained in gardening "before coming to America. Since immigration has ceased the demand for gardeners must in the future be filled by Americans." The student gardens are young men who served their country during the war and became disabled in the service. Some were gassed others suffaced from shell shock, and two lost an arm. The school for service men both officers and privates attended was slated last January when the Botanical Garden became affiliated with the Federal Board for Vocational Education for the vocational training of convulsive soldiers and sailors in practical gardening. The Government pays the tuition fee and board of the men. Students who complete a two years' course at the school will receive a certificate. During the war wages paid to gardeners steadily increased. Although they do not yet equal the wages of workers in some industrial pursuits, the gardener has much to compensate him. He lives in pleasant and healthy surroundings and does the sort of work that is conducive to good health and clean living. If he is a gardener on a private estate, he often has a house, rent free, and his own little vegetable garden. Gardens toly receive from $25 to $54 a month. A former gardener receives from $1,200 to $2,000 a year, and a gardener who is Superintendent of a weekly man's country estate may receive as much as $4,000 per annum. The pay of a gardener depends to a large extent on his practical knowledge of gardening and his usefulness, and a gardener who is a highly trained specialist can command a good salary. The grounds of the Botanical Garden are ideally adapted for the student gardener. They occupy nearly 400 acres of Bruns Park, and with their wealth of plant life offer an object lesson in all details of outdoor gardening. There are two extensive ranges of greenhouses, one of which is the largest glasshouses in the country. Within the park, are also the extensive glasshouses of the Park Department in which the student may observe the propagation of plants and their cultivation. The Botanical Garden also has a large library of horticultural books and laboratories and equipment for indoor class work. Students receive instruction from the staff of the Botanical Garden and officers, of other institutions. The work is of three kinds. Under the head gardener and his foreman, they spend about one-half their time in actual practical work, including the subjects outlined in the school's curriculum. On one or two days of each week, members of the garden staff or other specialists present lectures or demonstrations on subjects of interest to gardeners. The remainder of the time is spent in class work, and students learn from lectures and laboratory study the fundamental principles of the sciences upon which successful gardening is based. The school holds six-hour sessions every day a week, and a certain amount of reading is mapped out for the student. The curriculum comprises the following subjects: Greenhouse practice, elementary botany, garden botany, special lectures, vegetable and fruit gardening, flower gardening, garden zoology, garden carpentry, plant physiology, plant chemistry and soils. There are also lectures and demonstrations on care of trees and lawns, fertilizers, drainage, forestry, native wild plants, tropical gardening, tropical botany, old world gardens, uses of plant products, conning and preserving and other subjects. The school is not composed wholly of men from the service. A civilian may attend by paying the tuition fee of $6.5 a month. At present the school has three civilians, two of whom are women. ALLIGATOR COMES BACK KENYON, O.—After wandering at large two days, "Bill" a Florida alligator owned by Edward Rowe here, has returned to the tank where he and his partner, "Lib," live. Bill crawled over the edge of the tank and disappeared. His owner frantically searched the舱门 and with newspaper and memorabilia he got the pot-alligator, with a cash reward for the person returning him. But he couldn't stand the separation and travelled back alone. The alligator is thirty-eight inches long, but docile and not at all dangerous, his owner says. SWIMS EIGHT MILES THROUGH BOSTON. Mass.-The heat of Madeline Tonley, the pretty South Boston girl swimmer who swam eight miles during a severe electrical storm in an attempt to go the distance from Charlestown bridge to the Boston light, has created quite a sensation here. As the girl headed for the mouth of the bay the storm broke. Although the wind kicked up a masty sea she continued, using a steady over hand stroke, despite the tash of the waves and the bitterly cold temperature of the water. After a plucky eight miles flight she consented to quit and was dragged into the accompanying boat. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, NOVEMBER 13, 1920.

County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Henry 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 livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 8.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with justice by a mob, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county 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 commissioners of a county, against which such recovery has been, 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 representation of the killed or sersecuted 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 dispense such mob. (98 v 163 11.) Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (98 v 163 12.) OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is—(in the statutes) under the heading bu cd. representative of victim of lynching.ury by mob trying to lynch another. costs in tax levy. 1st member of mob. st another county. text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The 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 a citizen and regardless of the place of the accommodation, 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 not 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 they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Do You Know Her?

"I honor the man who, in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, tolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty demands the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. To submit in silence when we should protect 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 would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money.
