White southern A mericans stuffed as toad frogs with race hatred went over to France and there attempted to carry out the vicious practices that reign in the south. They refused to ride in a sight-seeing car. Dr. William A. Boyd. with Frenchmen of color. They appealed to every possible source to have those colored Frenchmen driven from that car. At last they went to the foreign embassy and made their complaint and in return they received this reply: "If you continue to molest these colored Frenchmen you will be arrested and be deported as undesirable aliens." This is what they deserved. There is no country in the world, but America that would tolerate the brutality of the south towards its citizens. There is no race in the world but Negroes, that would accept this treatment. Southerners are undesirable allens abroad and undesirable citizens at home. It is preposterous that this country should allow eleven states to do as they please and violate the Bill of Rights as applied to Afro-Americans or any other citizens. The arrogant southern "cracker" must be fought everywhere he goes. Negroes must stand up and fight him. The same southerners who desired to drive those colored people from that sight-seeing car would consort with the lowest colored people in the dark. The world should know that the south has always been a hypocrite so far as the colored race is concerned. During slavery it corrupted the fountains of purity of the colored race and preferred to live in wanton adultery with white wife and colored concubine. Since slavery it has been as bad. A real Negro gentleman feels no honor in being associated with the average southern hypocrite. At home and abroad it is our duty to fight him as he does us. This some of us will do until the southerner is made a decent American citizen. America is traitorous toward the colored race in times of peace and it should not expect the colored race to rave with patriotism when peril confronts the nation. (Bey.) Wm. A. Byrd. An Oversight: Editor Gazette, Dear Friend:—In my report of the election of officers by the delegates to the meeting of Ohio district grand lodge, G. U. O. of O. F., I failed to state that Dr. E. Duval Colley, one of our prominent physicians of Cincinnati, was reelected district medical director. May I ask that you give space in "The Old Reliable" for this correction and confer a favor upon, yours truly, A. T. Abbott. M. B. Chicago, Ill.-The above is an excellent portrait of Representative Roberts, of this city, our member of the Illinois Legislature who was recently successful in passing a bill which, as a law, bans the Ku Klux from the state. It passed the lower house of the State Assembly by a vote of 109 to 2, several members not voting, and was given a constitutional majority in the upper branch, the State Senate. Of course, Governor Len Small signed it, as announced in a recent issue of The Gazette, Mr. Roberts' success with this bill is remarkable when one considers the power of prejudice even in the north, these days. It was the fear of this very thing, more than sympathy with the Klan, that was responsible for the failure of nearly all of the members of the Assembly who did not record their votes in favor of the bill, Mr. Roberts is a Michigan product, having been born there in 1867. He attended the University of Michigan and graduated from Northwestern Law School, Chicago, in 1893. He is serving his third term in the Illinois House of Representatives, and although representing the wettest district in the state had the courage to vote dry during his first term. In the face of this, his constituents have returned him twice and the prospects are that they will send him to the State Senate next time. They certainly ought to do so because, he has backbone, ability, superior intelligence and splendid character, and has certainly earned such advancement. It is needless to add that the Hon. Adchert H. Roberts 'is a great credit to the race. THE C. R. P. LEAGUE Elects Officers For Its Second Year —Good Anti-K, K, K. Work at The Primary—Emancipation Celebration. Springfield, O.—An examination of the recent primary returns shows that our vote, though light, showed that Afro-Americans were alive to the situation. Every precinct, in which we had a large vote, returned majorities for the anti-Klan candidates. The Klan will find out that our people can not be fooled by bribes given to Negro preachers. The C. R. P. League elected the following officers, for the next year, at their regular meeting, last week Friday evening; pres. Chas. L. Johnson (re-elected); vice-pres. Arthur J. Riggs; see.; Mrs. Mamie Clark; asst. see.; Mrs. Grace Myers; treas. J. W. Leigh. Pres. Johnson, in accepting the office for the second time, said that it was his desire to remain at the head of the C. R. P. League until the Fulton school question was finally and satisfactorily settled; that he had no time or desire for political office for himself and that he would not give his services for the mere success of any person or political party; that any political contest in which he might engage would be only such as would be necessary to carry out the purposes of the league, i.e., to maintain and secure the civil rights of our people. Preparations are being made for the celebration of emancipation day, Sept. 22, under the joint auspices of the C. R. P. League and the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. It is the intention of the committee in charge to make it a great field day in the interest of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, Congressman L. C. Dyer, author of the bill, will be the orator of the day. The celebration will be held at the Clark County fair grounds and no admission will be charged. Cash and jewelry to the amount of $500 and nonnegotiable bonds valued at $25,000 were stolen from the Z club, the home of Logan Owens, vice president of the Starlight Realty Co., 3033 Central Ave., early, last week Friday, Owen reported to police. The securities, most of which were issued on the Starlight Realty Co., and other valuables were hidden in a trunk in Owens' home. Two men seen near the place while Owens was absent, temporarily, last week Thursday night, are being sought by detectives. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS OFFICERED AND CONDUCTED BY MEMBERS OF THE RACE. Twenty-five Annual Dividends for Its 125,000 Policy-Holders—Twenty Million Dollars of Insurance—Assets $750,000—Reserve Fund $461,592. (Special To The Gazette.) Washington, D. C., Aug. 24, 1923 —An intensive campaign for new business in Ohio is to be made by The National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D. C., and to further this plan the stockholders, at a special meeting on August 11, authorized an increase in the capital stock from $100,000 to $250,000. It is their aim to keep the company the greatest financial organization created, owned, and managed by colored men in the interest of the race. bring one within its protecting folds the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, will not disappoint them. This is the basis upon which the business is sought. It is realized that the company has come to stay longer than any of them; possessed of a perpetual charter, (like the brook); goes on forever. It is an educational factor of the highest value in business and is destined to wax mightier and mightier in the unfolding of time with the increase of its business, policy holders and Twenty-five years ago the company was organized as the National Benefit Association by Mr. H. W. Rutherford, a young married colored man, who came to the National Capitol from Lynchburg, Virginia. His total cash capital was $6, but he was possessed with untiring energy and faith. He gathered around himself a few loyal supporters and then hustled out after business. His offive furniture consisted of a table and a chair. His salary was $35 the month and he had to earn it by selling policies, and, collecting, premiums, which he did by pedaling his way around the city on an old blevele. But from that tiny beginning, by means of hard steady work, intelligent organization, and high-grade personnel, the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, officered and conducted entirely by colored people and developed among men and women of the race, has grown into the large and commanding position which it occupies today, with an unbroken record of twenty-five annual dividends paid, to stockholders, with 125,000 benefited policy holders, and $20,000,000 of insurance in force. Its assets are $750,000, including several valuable pieces of real estate in the District of Columbia and four states; a reserve fund of $461,592, a surplus of $100,00 and it has an deposit $236,100 for the protection of policy holders. To carry on its present business the company has a force of 1,200 employees, including 110 district managers and assistants, 40 local agents and 950 field agents. Its hope of becoming an Old Line Legal Reserve Company, with a paid up capital of $100,000.00 materialized in 1918 when its name was officially changed to The National Benefit Life Insurance Company. It operates in some states that no other colored company has yet succeeded in entering. On more than one occasion it has successfully met competition of the largest companies; it issues a variety of industrial and ordinary policies calculated to meet practically every need to which humanity is heir and to materially assist in smoothing life's pathway in innumerable ways. It is the only company of its kind incorporated under laws enacted by U. S. Congress for the District of Columbia. With its present plant and plan, everything seems ripe for it to become a veritable insurance gateway-of the race. For whatever may eventually DYER FEDERAL ANTI LNCHING BILL. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir—Having heard Congressman Dyer's advocacy of the remedial measures of his bill in Congress for the prevention of lynchings within the states, I was moved to a careful search of the authorities to find a basis of constitutionality for its enactment and effective enforcement. With sincere appreciation for the unusual zeal and real enthusiasm that Mr. Dyer puts into his efforts for the enactment of such a bill and not doubting his sincerity in the least, I can not find any precedent by which the measure would be held constitutional by the U. S. Supreme court should it be passed. The greatest good that can be hoped for is the molding of public sentiment against lynching. I fear that this benevolent effect would be more than counteracted by an adverse decision by the Supreme court, holding the same to be unconstitutional. Thus, reassuring the perpetrators of this national evil further immunity from prosecution and encouraging a stronger activity in the continued commission of these crimes. It is a well established fact, so held by the U. S. Supreme court from time to time, that the police power of a state cannot be taken away from it and exercised by the federal government, save in so far as it may have been delegated to it by the citizens of the several states of the union. Police power is declared to be that power inherent with the existence of the state to regulate by governmental function the peace, health, safety, and morality of its citizens. The congress of the U. S. has no general police powers operative over the several states of the union. Stone vs. Miss., 101 U. S., 814, Boyd vs. Ala., 94 U. S., 645.

This is the basis upon which the business is sought. It is realized that the company has come to stay longer than any of them; possessed of a perpetual charter, (like the brook); goes on forever. It is an educational factor of the highest value in business and is destined to wax mightier and mightier in the unfolding of time with the increase of its business, policy holders and assets. The steady growth of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company is a testimonial to the faith industry and loyalty of the employees, who entered into the work with an enthusiasm; which knew no bounds. But the simple truth is that the man who founded this great and successful business organization for the protection and benefit of the Negro race, was dealing with gigantic forces of life and self-development for a whole people. Mr. Rutherford, following some inner guilding instinct of faith, did not at the beginning realize himself the enormous power which he was calling into action—the power generated by combining the credit and earnings of a great number for the protection of each individual in time of emergency or need. In a word, co-operation on a great scale with systematic organization and faithful attention to every detail. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company is now doing business in the District of Columbia and in the states of New Jersey, Rhode Island, Maryland, Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and within a short time will open offices and establish an administration force in the states of Tennessee, Kansas, Arkansas, Alabama, North Carolina and Missouri. As soon as the present stock issue has been sold, application will be made for license to do business in the states of Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, and Nebraska. The laws of some of the latter states require a capitalization of not less than $200,000 before license will be granted to do the several kinds of business now written by the company. The company is located in its own five story building at 609 F street, N. W.—where, 25 years ago, young Rutherford had his table and chair, and paid $6 the month as a tenant—which is only one of the properties owned by the company. The officers and directors of the company are among the best known and influential men of the nation's capital, consisting of R. H. Rutherford, president and treasurer; Dr. W. A. Warfield, vice-president; S. W. Rutherford, secretary and manager; J. H. Braxton, L. S. Burke, C. B. Leg, S. E. Cooper, and M. E. Lowery. tion by congress for its enforcement, and on which Mr. Dyer bases constitutional foundation for his bill, the U. S. Supreme court has declared that provision to give congress a corrective power of legislation over the states rather than creative or legislative. In other words, when a state shall have passed a law, upon its face, discriminating between citizens on account of color, race, etc., the congress may enact laws prohibitive to the operation of same. In the Civil Rights bill, passed by congress in 1875, by virtue of the power given it by the Fourteenth Amendment, for the purpose of prohibiting discrimination against Colored people within the states by public places of accommodation, such as hotels, theaters, etc., and public conveyances over land and water, the Supreme court has held such legislation by congress to be clearly unconstitutional and void; that the congress has no legislative authority to enact such laws.

There is absolutely nothing that he can do fo help settle the controversy be- tween the government and the Ala- bama “kluxers.” It is a matter for the former to settle and no one else. And Dr. Moton is in no wise a rep- resentative of the government, or any of its departments, particularly the U. 8. Veterans’ Bureau with headquarters at Washington, D. C.; Gen. Frank T. Hines, director. i A K, K. K. “HARDING” LIE. ‘A Columbus “kluxer,” addressing ‘a meeting of fellow members of the klan near Cadiz, last week Friday evening, frankly acknowledged that that lawless organization “is opposed to the Jew, Catholics and all for. eigners; that it believes that the ‘Negro should be segregated in public schools, residential districts, theaters and other public places.” This is nothing new, of course, but the state- ment that the Inte President Warren @. Harding was a member of the Klan and that his father, Dr. Geo. T. Harding of Marion, is a member, is news, if true, However, we do not believe it. The late President's pub- lic expressions were such as to stamp such a statement as a falsehood, be- yond all question or doubt. Dr. Har- ding, a veteran of the war of re- Dellion, could hardly be induced to Join any such organization as the Ku Klux Klan. To gain new mem- bers, it seems that the K. K. K. or- ganizers will stoop to almost any- thing. The same speaker's state- ment to the effect that “the klan is a friend of the Colored people who are American citizens and have prov- ‘en their valor on the battlefield” is Just as truthful (7) as bis Harding matementa OUR PORTY-FTRST YEAR! ee ee eee ae ers. OE ‘years ago, today, “The Old Reliable” Gazette made its initial bow to: the people of the country and with this issue it enters upon its forty- first year of continuous publication ‘every week on time since August 25, 1883. A remarkable record for any publication, as every one must admit, especially when it is known that we have had to combat about all the many obstacles that arise in thy pathway of any newspaper to impede its progress. From the very beginning, The Gazette has been managed and edited by the writer who can hardly realize that so long ‘a time “in the saddle” has elapsed. From its initial successful efforts to ‘help wipe out the remnants of ‘Ohio's “Black Laws,” to secure the enactment of Ohio's Civil Rights and Anti-Lynching laws, and to blaze the way to wiser political action in order that something like reason- jable recognition fof our people of Ohtp and the country may be se- jeured, “The Old Reliable” has stood out in the open like a beacon light, fearless and unafraid, never falter- ing and always determined. What it has done in hundreds of other in- stances to help, defend and encour- age our people along all lines that lead to greater and better progress is also well known to all. Its ef- forts against inimical legislatnon and harmful discrimination, nation- al, state and municipal, and in favor of all that was helpful to the race need only to be referred to. Per- sonal interests have always been subordinated to those of the race, and The Gazette's clarion call to Afro-Americans, generally, in season and out, has been and is to accept nothing in the way of treatment that is less than that all citizeits without reference to class or color, are entitled to. When it comes to our citizen-rights, here in the North, we have been and always will be unalterably opposed to any “doc- trine of surrender” or conciliatory policy. The Gazette believes in de- manding for our people, in this sec- tion of the country at least, and continuing to fight for, ALL that is due all American citizens under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! Its firm adherence to principle, through all these years, is its best recom- mendation for continued and greater support, and we respectfully ask it. To our faithful following of the past forty years—thousands of read- ers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf—we have only ex- pressions of sincerest appreciation. ‘There 1s, however, one thing we would ask of all our readers at this time and that is that they urge their friends and acquaintances to be- come subscribers to “The Old Re- lable” Gazette and in this way as- sist it to materially increase its circulation and power for good. For jall you have done in the past, we thank you and again assure you of our sincerest appreciation. Harry C, Smith. THE SHERRILL AND SLEMP APPOINTMENTS. President Calvin Coolidge has re appointed Cul. Clarence 0. Sherrill as the President's military aide and superintendent of gov't. buildings an¢ grounds of the District of Columbia Sherrill is a southerner steeped in prejudice who, it seems, has lost no opportunity to segregate and other. wise insult Afro-Americans during his first term of office which has just closed, President Coolidge followed the Sherrill appointment with that of ex-Congressman C. Bascomb Slemp of Virginia as his see- retary, to succeed Mr. George Christian. Slemp is a “Iily-white’ Republican. These two appoint- ments and Mr. Coolidge’s speech in the South, last year, leave a mighty bad taste in the mouths of all loyal Afro-Americans. No wonder our “national” organizations are vigor- ously and bitterly protesting these two appointments. It is not difficult now to forecast President Coolidge’s stand on the Harding order to ap- point an Afro-American personnel for our U.S. Veterans’ Hospital at Tus kegee, Ala. i Al CANDIDATE TOM FLEMING. The several prospective Afro- American candidates for the City Council in the third district, in ad- litfon to Councilman Tom Fleming. failed to materialize. The white candidates are Harry L.

He is and has been for years one of our leading business” and professional men of the “Windy City.” While in the city Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis J. Dean of Elberon Ave, Miss Dean “accompanied them on thelr visit to The Gazette sanctum, Tuesday afternoon, After a tour of the city, the frst of the week, Mayor Fred Kohler said, among other things, that “Cen- tral Avenue is a public disgrace.” Quite right, Mr, Mayor, but the: numerous murders and crimes in the Central-Scovill-Woodland Ave. district, every Saturday and Sunday night particularly, are far greater. public disgraces and vastly more harmful to this city and that dis- triet. Conditions were made a little better, several weeks ago, but only for a few days. Better police protection is the crying need! Cor- ner watches should be established immediately at E. 30th St., EB. 40th St. and Central Ave. and Scovill Ave, for the hours between 11 P. M. and 2:30 A. M., every Saturday and these hours of every night the lack of police protection, which includes the lack of the corner watches men- tioned, is Indirectly the cause of numerous murders and other crimes ‘in tho Central-Scovill-Woodland Ave. district, There have been no less than a dozen murders committed in that district since the first of June 1923, several of them the result of most distressing cutting affrays in which both men and women were the ag- gressors. Come, Mr. Mayor, give us the police protection so sorely need- ed in that section of the city. Another woman was shot to death and a man seriously cut with a razor by @ man who invaded the woman's home on Scovill Ave. near B. 37th St., last week Wednesday night. A Suspect was captured by police after hho had fled from tho seeno. Miss Wiloby Love, age 28, who lived in the rear of 3637 Scovill Ave., died instantly, killed when the man shot her without warning. Jess Horne, Res Te rami ital snaatey are ee countered the man ag he came in the house. After slashing Horne, the man mounted a stairway and’ shot the woman. Horne was taken to Charity hospital. The Saturday night previous, between 11 p. m, and 2:80 a, m. Sunday morning, there were about a dozen crimes of one kind and another committed in the Contral-Scovill-Woodland Ave. dis- trict, posatbly the worst being that in Central Ave. between EB. 30th and E, 21st Sts, ‘There a woman accom- panied by her “man,” ran across the Street threw one arm about another man’s neck and proceeded to stab him in the head, cutting gash after kash, until he was able to break away and run when the ‘man’ lunged at him with a knife or razor cutting thru his coat, ete., to the skin only. Her “man’ was arrested but the woman got away. This was just at midnight, as usual, As a matter of fact, the large majority of such crimes,” and murders, committed In that district are “pulled off” about midnight when all know that the pollee are at supper. Saturday and Sunday nights, about the tlme men- tloned, there are nearly always from one to four murders and other crimes committed in the Central Scovill-Woodland Ave. district. Some way should be found at once to af- ford decidedly better police protec; tion in that district between thé hours of 11 p. m. and 2:30 a, m., every night but particularly Satur- day and Sunday nights. The management of color-line Luna park was greatly disappoint- ed by the attendance, Aug. 6. It was far below that expected. About three thousand of our people, all told, some of whom were from out ot tho clty and, like many others who live in the elty, did not know why they should NOT go to the miserable place, were inveigled into doing something they should not have done and doubtless would not have done if they had known of the insulting discrimination against our people practiced daily at Luna park. It is said the park man- agement lost money, Although ad- vertised as the speaker of the day, Mayor Fred Kohler, too, very dis- creetly remained away, which was the proper thing to do. It was not until early in the evening that the unfortunates in attendance at the park were permitted the use of the rollerskating rink and dance hall. Ot course they were not allowed in the swimming pool at all, as usual. The Lord helped a little with a shower, early in the even- ing, which it was hoped by many would eventuate Into a down-pour and drive all from color-line Luna Park. The circulars distributed throughout the clty for several days, preceding Monday, by the “Surface Cattering Association” helped wonderfully to correctly in- form our people and undoubtedly kept hundreds and possibly thou- sands of them from going to the place, ‘They should have been dis- tributed throughout the city and in surrounding towns for the past month or more ,and thuch more numerously and generally. Had this been done, as it should have been, not only ‘by that association but also by Ward 11 Central Body, the Caterers’ Association, ‘The Cleve- land Association of ‘Colored Men, our local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., our local Women’s Federation of’ Clubs and other local organiza tions of Afro-Americans, we verily believe that there would not have been much more than a “cor- poral’s guard” who would have been so lacking in~self and race respect as to have gone to color- line Luna park, Monday Aug. 6, or any other day.

Hines of the Veterans' Bureau had "compromised" with a committee of whites from Alabama, offering to appoint a white doctor as head of Tuskegee hospital for our Veterans, and two white assistants, the remainder of the staff to be Afro-Americans, the N. A. A. C. P. at once wrote the following sharp letter of protest: New York City, Aug. 7, '23. "Hon Frank T. Hines. proval of the President, to man this institution completely with a colored personnel." "We would like to know what is to be the action of the Veterans' Bureau in view of the definite promise made by Mr. Harding that we may inform those interested in this question whether or not the promise of the late President Harding is to be carried out." New York City.—The following resolution was unanimously adopted by the New York City. "My Dear General Hines:—In today's New York Tribune appears a dispatch from Montgomery, Ala., dated August 6 and purporting to be an account of a meeting held by citizens of Tuskegee. At this meeting, after hearing the report of State Senator R. H. Powell, Dr. L. W. Johnson, and W. W. Kimball, committee members conferred with you in Washington, last Friday and Saturday, it is stated that citizens of Tuskegee 'accepted a compromise plan, for the personnel of the government of the Afro-American U. S. hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., suggested to this committee by the head of the Veterans' Bureau.' The report goes on to state that by the compromise, the self pledging of others the hospital staff will be wounded and the remainder of the medical staff is to be composed of Afro-Americans. "On behalf of the N. A. A. C. P. I am writing to ascertain if this report is correct. We are especially anxious to secure this information, in view of the fact that the late President Harding stated, through his secretary, in a letter to this Association dated, April 28: 'It is the plan of the Director of the Veterans' Bureau, with the ap- AN EDITORIAL By MRS.

Are we as interested in our boys and girls as much as our parents were interested in us? Are we embracing them with protecting arms, and helping them to shape their careers as men and women? Such questions are suggestive. They should awaken in many of us the desire to put on the yoke of service and measure up. A personal inventory of our records and careful consideration of the qualities and training of our children, would perhaps help us find a way to improve ourselves and our youthful treasures. Can we measure up? Women are coming into their own rights now. They may speak and do more freely than ever before.

"We would like to know what is to be the action of the Veterans' Bureau in view of the definite promise made by Mr. Harding that we may inform those interested in this question whether or not the promise of the late President Harding is to be carried out." New York City—The following resolution was unanimously adopted by the New York County American Legion, last week, and sent to President Calvin Coolidge and Director Frank T. Hines, U. S. Veterans' Bureau, Washington, D. C. Every Afro-American post ought also to take up this matter, at once, and do likewise, and get their Legion to do so, too, if possible. The resolution reads as follows: "WHEREAS the Congress of the United States has established in Tucson, Arizona, for Afro-American ex-service men to be manned by an Afro-American personnel, and "WHEREAS the Veterans' Bureau has delayed putting into force and effect the mandate of Congress which sought to adequately hospitalize the Afro-American veterans of the South. "BE IT RESOLVED that the New York County organization of The American Legion deplores the Veterans' bureau policy of providing delay in properly caring for their Afro-American comrades in Tuskegee, and urges the Veterans' Bureau to fearlessly and immediately, regardless of obstacles, carry out the will of the Government. "AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the President of the United States. General Frank T. Hines and to the public press." FOR WOMEN E RICKS DEMBY us.

FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING People go where they are invited —A. T. Stewart. Advertising is as necessary an expenditure as the payment of taxes or rent.—W. Atteo Burpee. Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Girard. Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising.—W. E. Gladstone. Printer's ink will make more of the public wear a pathway to your store. See? The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. DO YOU advertise? While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." IS IT OF ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, dewns itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscription for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian.

The first explanation of the natural mounds of Oklahoma has been made following a recent archaeological exploration made by the University of Oklahoma. These mounds have been a souse of almost endless dispute to scientists. They are to be found in practically all of Arkansas and many of the adjoining states, but those in Oklahoma are so peculiarly formed that they have come in for the greatest of attention. The casual observer would not be so much impressed with them because they are so numerous. As many as five or six may be found in an acre in some places, although they ordinarily occur at the rate of about three to an acre which would make about 2000 to a square mile. They are often found in colonies, and these have received local names. The recent investigation has been made by two members of the faculty of the University of Oklahoma, Joseph B. Thoburn, of the department of history and Dr. Irvine Perrine of the department of geology who have spent two years at this work. Archaeologists have heretofore been very vague and indefinite in their statements concerning the probable origin of the mounds altho they have been greatly interested in them because of the evidence of prehistoric human activity. About the only conclusion reached before has been that they may have been elevated building sites constructed to furnish a dry, well drained spot for a wigwam or lodge. But all former theories have been upset by these latest explorers who have proved that each of the countless thousands of tumuli is really the ruin of a timber framed, dome shaped, turf covered human habitation, built and occupied by a race which long since passed away without leaving even so much as a tradition. Dr. Perrine and Mr. Thoburn are sure these people were entirely distant from the cave dwellers and mound builders, although they at different times occupied the same region. In excavating some of the mounds many curios were found which are most interesting and give evidence of the artistic ideals and abilities of this prehistoric race. There are beautifully decorated pieces of pottery as well as curious implements for daily use. Cruda spades, hoes and other implements of tillage, which were fashioned from such materials as flint, chert and slate, were found, showing that certain areas of valley land and prairies were in cultivation hundreds of years ago. These people undoubtedly changed little, settling in fixed villages and living largely by agriculture. It is now believed that at least six hundred years have elapsed since the disappearance of the tribe from this region, because approximately 600 years ago this same territory was occupied by the Osages and Quapaws. Since it is very evident that the earth house people outnumbered the Osages and Quapaws, it is inferred that a plague or epidemic disease had swept away the greater part of the inhabitants of the region before the appearance of these tribes west of the Mississippi. The two explorers believe that the population of the earthhouse people was far more than any of the aboriginal tribes which were living in the United States at the time of the discovery of the continent, not only because of the great number of mounds, but by the number and extent of their cemeteries as well. Most of these burial grounds are one the rivers and creeks. The people were plainly very energetic, and were surely masters of the art of working stone into implements and weapons by the various processes of chipping, pecking, drilling, and polishing. It is also very likely that they were skilled in making baskets and in spinning and weaving, but there is little hope that such relics as these will be found. In the manufacture of pottery they excelled all other aboriginal tribes of the United States. MAKING OLD EGGS YOUNG Ponce de Leon was not so wild a dreamer as people have always supposed when he searched for the fountain of youth in Florida; for he would have found it if he had struck north as far as the Delaware river. The egg of a Pennsylvania hen, after eight months in storage, is declared by law to be too old to occupy in decency a place on any breakfast table in Philadelphia. But if it is ferried across the magic waters of the Delaware to Camden and brought back it legally regains its youth and social standing; and it may be sold over any counter in the city as strictly fresh. Moreover under the same law, the most aged immigrant egg from Denmark, China, Australia or any one of our own states becomes an infant the moment it reaches Pennsylvania—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
