C., NEGROES FIGHT LOSS OF HOMES AND PROPERTY Whites Preventing Rebuilding of Colored District Destroyed by Fire. VOL. XXIX. New Bern, N. C., whose homes were burned in the recent disastrous fire, are fighting an attempt by white citizens to prevent their rebuilding their homes through condemnation proceedings which would turn the colored section into a cemetery and park, according to announcement today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York. Reports from New Bern state that the colored residents have not been permitted to rebuild their homes. A statement sent to the Advancement Association by a competent investigator asserts: "The city of New Bern is determined the burnt area shall not be rebuilt by or for Negroes. It is proposed to condemn the land, astensibly for cemetery and park purposes, but this is openly winked at as a subterfuge to get rid of the Negro property owner. In the meanwhile no building is permitted in the burned district, and no provision is being made for a suitable location elsewhere; in many cases all they have is tied up in this real estate, which will be a long time in litigation in the condemnation proceedings." It is asserted that the city of New Bern lacks the necessary funds for condemnation proceedings, thus proving the measure to be a subterfuge to prevent the colored residents rebuilding their homes. Appeals to the white community having failed the colored citizens have employed lawyers and are attempting by injunction to prevent the condemnation and seizure of their land. The report further states that the Negro districts that were not in the fire area are neglected and have no improvements whatever in the way of paving, lighting, sewerage, water supply and street car service. These districts, it is asserted, into which the Negro sufferers from the fire are to be forced, have surface toilets and the pumps for drinking water are in close proximity, the water coming within a few feet of the surface. The report censures the attitude of the white citizens of New Bern in the following terms: "The white people of New Bern in this crisis do not seem to feel any sense of duty in providing for the housing of their Negro citizens and are blind to their economic value. New Bern has no white labor and herein is the only way out that lies in the Negro himself; quietly organize and leave New Bern. This has been nurted, but the white people do not take it seriously. The only other way is for New Bern to be brought to a realization of the injury it will do itself in the eyes of the country if it carries on its present policy." In the course of the fight by colored residents to retain their property and home sites, resolutions were passed and published in a local newspaper on the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, protesting against the injustice being done New Bern colored citizens, and stating: "The proposed condemnation for park and cemeteries will work a grievous hardship and injustice upon the colored people, making it impossible for many of them ever to build again in improved and sanitary localities accessible to the conveniences enjoyed by the average white taxpayer." "Blackface" Morons Hit White Girls MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 19.—Word has been received by prominent white citizens here that the men called "Negroes" accused of attacking two white women in the city parks last week were not of the Race at all, but white men with their faces blackened. It is reported that the police department is of the same opinion, but has not made the notion public, for obvious reasons. The police hold that they would have been able to apprehend the men had there not been such a mask on them as to make them impossible of identification. One of the white men seized a white woman in broad daylight soon after she had alighted from a street car near the city, dragged her to a ravine in the park and held her captive for eight hours, abusing and attacking her, then throwing her over a bluff into the shallow water along the river bank below. His victim is in a serious condition. The second white man, whose motive is believed to have been robbery, fired at Mrs. Thelma Cunningham, a widow, as she was riding with her finace near the city. The woman's companion refused to obey the man's command to stop the automobile and the highwayman fired three shots, one of which struck the woman. She is not expected to recover. The anonymous letters did not in any case name the assailants of the women. Appeals Case on Ground That Coffins Buried Belonged to No One. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 18.—Sam Ware, the Atlanta undertaker who was indicted here a few weeks ago for stealing coffins from the South View cemetery, was tried here today and convicted before Judge D. Humphries and given the maximum sentence of not less or more than ten years' hard labor. It was brought out in the evidence that Ware sold one casket five times here, and finally sold it to a firm in Florida. Jones and Maddox, who were indicted in connection with Ware, will be tried here tomorrow. Ware issued a statement today, through his attorneys, that he would appeal the case from the decision of the trial Judge, on the ground that the Georgia Criminal Code does not cover the taking of coffins from graves, and under the law even granting that Ware took the coffins he has committed no crime. His attorneys also contend that when a coffin is once put under the ground it belongs to no one, therefore it cannot be stolen. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1923 Washington County Is Becoming an Empire of Wealth Prosperous Farming Community Shows Rapid Growth. COLORADO'S farming possibilities are not as fully known by a large portion of our city bred folk, and it is only when such prosperous farmers and stock growers as Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Newsom of Akron come into our midst that we pause and give thought to the country side of life. We become so self-centered in our local environments that we fail to give heed to those who are solving the economic problems of life by tilling the soil. Washington county, of which Akron is the county seat, lies in the northeastern part of the state. Only a very small section it is in the irrigated valley of the Platte river, and yet in 1922 the county ranked first in acreage and production of wheat, third in corn, second in rye and fourth in total acreage in cultivation. Few counties in the state have a more uniform surface than Washington. The valley of the Platte river crosses he extreme northwestern corner. The remainder is a level or rolling prairie, with fertile soil, well adopted to cultivation. In the north the soil is a sandy loam with a mixture of adobe and other harder elements. The population of the county in 1910 was 6,002. In 1920 it had increased to 11,208, the increase being 86.7 per cent. This increase is much larger than the percentage of increase for the state as a whole, which was only 17.6 per cent for the decade. Corn and wheat are the principal crops and average yields in this county are among the best obtained in any of the non-irrigated districts of the state. The total acreage of wheat grown in the county in 1922 was 231,559 acres, compared with only 160,419 in 1919 and 11,458 acres in 1909. These figures illustrate the rapid development of agriculture in the county in recent years. The Newsm family are pioneer citizens in this prosperous county and their holdings are said to total many thousand dollars. They share the esteem and respect of all classes of people and are regarded as being among the county's most substantial citizens. They would like to see many more of our group take advantage of the special opportunities offered. There is perhaps 700,000 acres of arable land in this county which has never been broken. The government experiment farm, near Akron, is equipped to furnish newcomers in this locality with the most desirable information about suitable crops and proper methods of farming. Dairying has been developed very rapidly in the territory adjacent to the Burlington railroad in the past decade and dairy farmers have generally made excellent profits. This industry has been rapidly extended into the districts more remote from railroads and promises within a few years to become the basis of farming operations in most all sections of the county. While we do not anticipate any great "back to the land" rush as a result of this article, still we do think it both timely and proper to bring to mind that all of living is not in a great city and beneath the bright lights. Bush 'Wireless' Mysterious But Very Effective Natives of Africa Able to Communicate Quickly In Puzzling Way. LONDON, Jan. 20.—The radio has nothing on the "bush wireless" of darkest Africa, according to F. S. Joelson, author of "The Tanganyika Territory," who tells of experience with the native signals. "We think it wonderful," he said, "that our advancing knowledge has made broadcasting possible. Yet every traveler in savage Africa has had evidence of the almost incredible swiftness with which the natives can communicate with distant friends, this 'bush wireless' operating more speedily than our telegraph. "The exact means employed vary with the tribe and circumstances. Drum-beats are the usual signals, smoke is often used, and in some parts of the Gold Coast even whistling is enlisted for the convenience of news. More mysterious still is the so-called veld or bush telegraph, a phenomenon which wise Europeans do not attempt to explain. They merely know that it does exist, and that messages are carried hundreds of miles in a day or two when neither drums, smoke, nor other visible or audible means have been utilized. "Bush villages can call up one another very much as if they were on the telephone. Each has its collection of signaling drums, used for different purposes, and by them the chiefs can tell each other that there is a maneating lion on the prowl, that the native commissioner has started his tax gathering tour, or that there will be a big beer-drink at such-and-such a village on the night of the full moon. "The European who has lived long in the bush and who hears the sound of far-away drums, knows well that to him unintelligible beats are far from meaningless for the natives. "For instance, in August, 1914, I was forty miles from the East African coast, but only four miles from a telegraph office. Immediately that station learned of the outbreak of the war a messenger jumped on a bicycle to bring us the news. He need not have troubled. Four hours before the telegraph clerk had had the staggering news one of the plantation headmen had asked me mysteriously why the white men in Europe were at war. It was my first intimation that hostilities had started." Sen. Frelinghuysen Introduces Bill to Provide Commission to Investigate Lynching. Sen. Frelinghuysen Introduces Bill to Provide Commission to Investigate Lynching. Washington, D. C.—Senator Joseph S. Frelinghysen of New Jersey introduced in the Senate on Monday, Jan. 15, a resolution providing for a commission to investigate the subject of lynching. It was referred to the judiciary committee. The resolution provides for a commission of five to be named by the President, and to serve without salary. At the same time it is provided there shall be an appropriation of $50,000 for expenses. The proposed commission is to study fully the subject of lynching, its causes and remedies, and make recommendations for legislation to the new Congress. Democratic Senators from the South will oppose it. Chop Body of Doctor; Destroy It Texans Throw Physician's Mutilated Frame in Cell; Set Fire to Prison. B ISHOP, Tex., Jan. 19.—Suffering the agonies of the machine-crushed victims of black-hooded mobs in Louisiana, Dr. John Smith, former Wharton county physician, is reported to have been burned to death in the jail here after his feet and hands had been cut off. Dr. Smith was charged with crime. His felony, so-called, consisted of having collided, while driving his car, with an automobile driven by whites. The people in this section, ignorant and docile to a great extent, have been aroused to unprecedented action by the murder of this leading citizen by the Huns of Texas. Body Torn Apart. The physician was brutally and barbarously treated, parts of his body torn while he still lived and cried in pain, and then, yet alive, put in the jail, which was set afire. Reports gathered from scattered conversation among the whites showed that they had become angered after hearing of the collision. Dr. Smith had no trouble with the white occupants of the car. After he and they had taken stock of their damages, these being so slight, the whites refused to accept damages or to institute charges against the doctor. Later, however, the physician accidentally injured a Mexican woman with his car and, while here, the Wharton county officers came for him, arrested him and placed him in the local jail. The dismembered body of Dr. Smith was found in the ruins of the burned jailhouse. How and why the bastile was burned, outside of a desire to satisfy the craving of bloodthirsty Texans for murder, and just who the firebugs were, or the contributing cause, or why the fire was not discovered and extinguished, cannot be determined. It was just the usual Texas way of doing things. Law Doesn't Care. Revoltting, shameful and fiendish as was the crime, officers of the law are exercising no extra diligence, in fact none whatever, to ferret out the crime and apprehend and punish the criminals. The murder of a white mechanic and a bootleger in Louisiana arouses the entire nation. The atrocious torturing and burning to death of a Race physician in the wilds of Texas proves nothing, save perhaps the suggestion that he ought to have known better than to have been there. His brothers are awakening, however, and the hordes of somber-hued laborers, dumb driven in the twilight, are seeking and finding a way up—up to the North. Negro Asks $25,000 For Being Parked in Blizzard in Kansas Porter Seeks Judgment From Rail Company That Sidetracked Pullman. San Antonio, Tex., Jan. 22.—A lone Pullman car sidetracked in a Kansas blizzard is no place for a porter from a balmy climate. Paul Montimore of San Antonio charges in a petition for $25,000 damages against the Pullman Company and C. E. Schaff, receiver for the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad Company, that his health was permanently impaired by such an exposure on Feb. 18, 1922, when a disabled car was set on a siding a few miles from Parsons, Kan., without heat. The elements turned outlaw as soon as the car was left, and the blizzard of the next ten hours was one of the worst—well, it was ever so much more severe than the wildest imagination of a New Orleans "pusson" might conceive, according to the petition, and the client is said to have been sorely afflicted as a result with chillblains, frost bite, exposure, grip and various other forms of physical maladjustment. Ask Deportation Of Negroes From France Ask Deportation Of Negroes From France P ARIS, Jan. 19.—A branch of the Ku Klux Klan has been organized here and its first official act was to get Americans resident here to sign a petition to the French government asking the deportation of all colored Americans now living in France. The Klan, it is said, will seek to effect this through the co-operation of the American Embassy. The anti-Negro feeling of white Americans here is nothing new. Neither is their resentment of the fact that the French people consider as equals, and threat accordingly, the Negro population here. But the flames of hatred have been fanned recently by the exploits of two colored men who soundly thrashed and deeply humiliated three American whites when the latter attempted to introduce Jim crow laws unofficially and independent of the French government and people. Influential American whites had the colored men locked up on a charge of assault, but they were released when the colored men showed war service papers. The American whites thereupon resorted to spreading the most vicious and unfounded lies against the colored men. They allege that one of the colored men, Dick Bullard, was outlawed from the French aviation service during the war for cowardice in refusing to attack German lines. Bullard is credited with having accounted for two of the whites. Hampton 'A' Will Meet in August AMPTON, Va., Jan. 19.—A call has been issued for the fifteenth triennial meeting of the Hampton Institute Alumni Association on or about Aug. 1, the exact date to be announced later. William Reid of the class of 1877 is president of the association. Much work was accomplished by the organization at its last meeting in 1920. At that time a committee of alumni went before the board of trustees of the school and requested, among other things, that the age limit for the admission of students be lowered from 17 to 15 years, and that the academic course be made the equal of the recognized standard high school. As a result of this and the favorable action of the school board the association reports the following. Admission changed to 15 years. An academy established, offering a four-year standard high school course. A one-year normal course, above the high school, granting at its completion a state elementary certificate for teachers. A college course covering four years' work above the high school, granting upon satisfactory completion a regular bachelor of arts degree in education. Business and home economics courses covering two years, based on the full high school course. An agricultural college course based upon the full high school course or its equivalent, for which on satisfactory completion a bachelor of science degree in agricultural education is given. INSURES HIS LIFE FOR HOWARD AND MEHARRY Washington, D. C.—Dr. John A. Kenny, director of the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, Tuskegee Institute, has notified the authorities of Howard University and Meharry Medical College, Nashville, that he has applied for endowment insurance in the amount of $500 in favor of the two schools as an earnest of his interest in medical education of young colored men and women.

DAY and NIGHT SERVICE T. G. GRANBERRY, Mer. DENVER, COLORADO LOOKING IN ON THE LEGISLATURE By Randolph Cook Five hundred and sixty-five bills were introduced in the House, and 453 in the Senate up to midnight of the 17th, this being the last day for introducing bills; the total, therefore, is 1,018 bills. This is about the normal number for a session of the Legislature. PETER M. which stands in a conspicuous place, there are several hundred bills that were introduced during the last session, and which were "born to blush unseen." It is quite probable that many of those introduced this session will never see the light again. Possibly this is an evil that ought to be corrected. However, we hold that a representative should represent his constituents; and, if a reasonable number of them wish legislation of a certain kind, if it has seeming merit, he should introduce a bill on the topic; after that, he cannot say what the ninety-nine other members of the Assembly will do with the bill, and his responsibility for it largely ceases. During this session the bills that will attract most attention are what we call the "Administration" bills. We believe this is usually the case. In this instance, Governor Sweet has laid great importance on the revision of the administrative code, and the proposed co-operative marketing bill; around these the storm will gather during the session. The outlook for their passage is thought to be favorable by the friends of the measures. The first bill to pass the House, with a vote of 63 to 2, was a bill to repeal the "yellow-x-free" license privilege enjoyed by state officials, and their employees. There were about 2,000 of these in the state; and, on authority of Representative Pollock, this will mean the addition of about $20,000 to the revenues saved for the taxpayer. That is not bad for a beginning. Not all hours in the Legislature are serious ones; occasionally there is a little merriment mixed with the serious. For example, on the night of the 17th, when the session was prolonged until midnight, Miss Baker introduced a bill requiring all men to part their hair in the middle, and making it unlawful to smoke in legislative halls—IN ARKANSAS. And another presented a bill making it unlawful for Denver chickens to roam about at liberty, while the Legislature is in session, and provided an appropriation for the enforcement of this act. We can see where such a law might be a good "safety first" measure!! Then, a few days ago, two former speakers of the House were present in the chamber, and were escorted to the platform for a short address; as a result, they were fined a box of apples for making a speech. One was a Democrat, and the other a Republican. This is advance notice to all would-be speechmakers to beware. Bills are now being printed, and the legislative hopper will begin to turn by the time this is in print; oratory flows like the water in Cherry creek, and just as freely. Embryo statesmen are budding forth like watercress in the spring. On the whole the Assembly is made up of a most creditable set of men, and who have the good of Colorado at heart, and who check their partyism in the cloak room, and come in the hall to put it "over the top" for the Centennial State. As for the three ladies who are members of the House, they are the crown of the Assembly, Colorado has no fear of her affairs in their hands; but if there should be any tendency to wobble on some matters, with Mr. Young, who is not so young, and Mr. Sweet, to keep 'em sweet, and Miss Baker to—well, make 'em hot, Colorstrand to add the rainbow tint; and if Mr. Crooke goes wrong there's Mr. Wright to set him right; and if Romero goes roamin' among the Rangers, we'll rise and sing the "Star-spangled Banner." It looks like the Johnsons are taking the country; there are four of them in the House, and we think they are all of Irish vintage. Over in the Senate, Mr. Rockwell manages to rock along, to the tune of "Sweet Harmony, Sweet Harmony," and that always puts the Democrats to sleep. In both houses, the new members are quite active; the older ones have heard the call of Wisdom. A first glance at the Senate, the most noticeable thing is the avoiddupois, and we have actually wondered whether the length of the waistband is a qualification for that dignity. Jones and Girrand are regular "Gold Dust Twins," but we like 'em. God bless the fat men; for of such is the kingdom. They are a thing of beauty and a joy forever. We almost forgot the chaplain; his name is Rader, and he has some job on his hands. The way he prays for the Republicans would make you think he was at a Georgia camp-meeting. Rader was once a member of the House, and we judge that he speaks from experience. LET US ARISE AND SING. New York.—German marks dropped to another extreme low record, being quoted at 60-100ths of 1 cent a hundred, or approximately 16,666 to the dollar. Proposed Reorganization of the Diplomatic and Consular Services By SECRETARY OF STATE HUGHES, Letter on Rogers Bill. The diplomatic service is greatly underpaid. It is well known that a man without private means, whatever his ability, cannot accept the more important posts of ambassador or minister. Of more immediate importance, however, is the fact that the salaries of secretaries in the diplomatic service are so low, the choice of candidates is restricted largely to young men of wealthy families who are able and willing, to a considerable extent, to pay their own way. It follows that there must be an increase in the salaries of diplomatic secretaries to broaden the field for selection. That would eliminate the necessity for the use of private incomes and permit the relative merits of candidates to be adjudged on the basis of ability alone. Furthermore, if young men of the greatest ability and intellectual ambition are to be attracted to the service there must be the prospect of conspicuous ability and fidelity will be rewarded by promotion. The consular service, on the other hand, while better paid, suffers from great limitations as a public career. There is no prospect of promotion beyond the consular service. It is with difficulty that many of the best men are retained because of the tempting offers constantly made to them by the business world. There would be two distinct advantages to be realized from an amalgamation of the two services on an interchangeable basis: First, those highly desirable benefits of economy and efficiency which would accrue through a system of combined administration. Second, a more effective co-ordination of the political and the economic branches of the service. On the other hand, the present scale of consular salaries already is recognized as inadequate. To reach the problems more effectively I have deemed it of first importance that a new and adequate salary scale should be adopted. After a very careful examination into the actual requirements of these positions, it is thought that the scale of salaries proposed in the revised bill, which ranges by regular increments from $3,000 to $9,000, would suffice for the purpose which we have in mind. "Shall I Slay My Brother Boer?" "Never Interfere in Family Matters" At the American consulate in London, while having my passports regularized, I encountered the American international examination paper. One of the questions it propounded was, "Are you an anarchist?" Another was, "Are you in favor of subverting the government of the United States by force?"—and I felt like saying, "I prefer to answer that question at the end of my tour and not at the beginning." Still another question was, "Are you a polygamist?" The answer to this is, "No such luck," or "Not such a fool," according to our experience of the other sex. But perhaps a better answer would be that given to W. T. Stead when he circulated the rhetorical question. "Shall I slay my brother Boer?"—the answer that ran, "Never interfere in family matters." But among many things that amused me almost to the point of treating the form thus disrespectfully, the most amusing was the thought of the ruthless outlaw who should feel compelled to treat it respectfully. I like to think of the foreign desperado seeking to slip into America with official papers under official protection, and sitting down to write with a beautiful gravity: "I am an anarchist. I hate you all and wish to destroy you." Or, "I intend to subvert by force the government of the United States as soon as possible, sticking the long sheath-knife in my left trouser-pocket into Mr. Harding at the earliest opportunity." Or again. "Yes, I am a polygamist all right, and my 47 wives are accompanying me on the voyage disguised as secretaries." Conviction That Education Is Substitute for Work Rather Than a Tool We have allowed the conviction to grow among many of our younger citizens that education is a substitute for work rather a tool to work with, an end rather than a means. The ultimate outcome of this system continued without reform or amendment would be the creation of a nation where every man and woman would have the learning of books, and none would have that learning of the hands which is so vital to national prosperity and progress. We must restore the dignity of labor by teaching the trades in our schools. We must offer to every child that training of hand and heart, as well as head, which will enable him to go forth into the world equipped to care for himself and to take his place as a self-supporting, self-respecting citizen, a credit to himself and an asset to society. My ideal is to turn out of our schools children equipped with a high school education, as that education is now known—and a trade. A Christian Gentleman to Stand Four-Square to Every Wind That Blows At this point it seems to me well to pause and consider what we are really after and the obstacles in the way of attaining our ideal. Is not this what we are really after—to turn out a Christian gentleman to stand four-square to every wind that blows and take his part as a leader of this nation? Such is our ideal. The modern American business man is so wrapped up in dollars and cents and in getting his results therefrom that he applies to the education of his boy the same principle which he applies to his business; he sends his boy to us with only one object in view, it seems to me, and that is to put that boy into college. That is all, in his opinion, the school is for. It is a very sad thing to confess but in my experience with the school parent I believe that I could count on the fingers of my two hands the parents who have ever said a word to me with regard to their boys' characters and what they want us to do in that respect. ACCUSER OF ATTORNEY GENER AL IS ATTACKED BY PAR- TY MEMBER. DAUGHERTY IS FREED CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH AP PROVED BY ALMOST A UNANIMOUS VOTE. Washington.—The House, by a vote of 204 to 77, approved the action of the judiciary committee in giving Attorney General Daugherty a clean bill of health on the impeachment charges brought against him by Representative Keller, Republican, Minnesota. Without a roll call and by practically an unanimous vote, it adopted also a resolution discharging the committee from further consideration of the charges and laying the Keller impeachment resolution on the table. The two votes were regarded as having the effect of closing the incident. The question of whether the House has the constitutional power to compel a member to testify before its committees was left undecided. This issue was raised in the midst of the judiciary committee hearings when Mr. Keller refused to respond to a subpoena served on him after his dramatic withdrawal from further participation in the proceedings. The committee in its report took the position that the House could punish Mr. Keller by imprisonment or otherwise until he did testify, the term of imprisonment, however, not to extend beyond this session of Congress, but it made no recommendation on the subject, nor did the House take direct action upon it. The House votes were preceded by three hours of spirited debate, featured by attacks upon and a defense of Mr. Keller and by assaults upon Samuel Untermyer of New York, Jackson H. Ralston of Washington, who was Representative Keller's counsel, and his associate, John H. Vahey of Boston, and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor. Referring to letters written by Mr. Untermyer regarding the impeachment charges, which were made a part of the minority report filed by Representative Thomas, Democrat, Kentucky, Representative Goodykoontz, Republican, West Virginia, charged that these documents had been "dragged in to besmirch the judiciary committee," he added that he did not then have time to discuss Mr. Untermyer's "record" fully, but that he would do so in an extension of his remarks in the Congressional Record. There was a sharp clash between the Kentucky member and Mr. Volstead when Mr. Thomas charged that the chairman had "deleted" the original record of the hearings. Mr. Volstead vigorously denied the charge, but Mr. Thomas insisted upon it, declaring that at one stage of the hearings the chairman had peremptorily commanded Mr. Keller to sit down, while the official record made it appear that the command had been a "mild" request. There was a split in party lines on the proposition to give Mr. Daugherty a clean bill of health, twelve Republicans voting in the negative and ten Democrats in the affirmative. Home for Vice President. Washington—Mrs. John B. Henderson, widow of the late Senator Henderson of Missouri, offered a newly built residence, valued at $500,000, to the government as the official residence of the Vice President. U. S. Troops Sail for Home. U. S. Troops Sail for Home. Antwerp—Aboard the American transport St. Milhiel the last contingent of the troops who represented the United States in the World War are en route home. The troops arrived here from the Coblenz bridgehead and embarked on the transport. With soldiers lining her rails, the transport cast off her lines and the doughboys sang farewell songs and shouted greetings of good-by, while groups of friends ashore standing in the dim light of the early darkness waved their aidieux. One Killed By Ship Blast. Los Angeles, Calif.-One man was killed and two others seriously injured aboard the U. S. S. California, flagship of the battle fleet, when an 18-inch hollow casting exploded while they were heating it over a forge in the ship's blacksmith shop. Lester G. Blanchard, first-class coppersmith, was struck on the head by a fragment of the casting and instantly killed. Ben Leonard, first-class engine man, and Mike Labonlek, second-class moulter, also were hit by bits of flying metal. Three Women Now in Congress. Washington.—For the first time in history three women are members of Congress. The election of Mrs. Mae Nolan, widow of Representative John L. Nolan of California, to succeed her husband, gives the sex the greatest representation it has ever had in Congress. The feminine contingent now consists of "Aunt Alice" Robertson of Oklahoma, Mrs. Winifred Mason Huck f Illinois and Mrs. Nolan of California. All are Republicans. The diplomatic service is greatly underpaid. It is well known that a man without private means, whatever his ability, cannot accept the more important posts of ambassador or minister. Of more immediate importance, however, is the fact that the salaries of secretaries in the diplomatic service are so low, the choice of candidates is restricted largely to young men of wealthy families who are able and willing, to a considerable extent, to pay their own way. It follows that there must be an increase in series of diplomatic secretaries to broaden the field for selection. That eliminate the necessity for the use of private incomes and permit native merits of candidates to be adjudged on the basis of ability. Moremore, if young men of the greatest ability and intellectual men are to be attracted to the service there must be the prospect of famous ability and fidelity will be rewarded by promotion. The consular service, on the other hand, while better paid, suffers great limitations as a public career. There is no prospect of promo- toward the consular service. It is with difficulty that many of the men are retained because of the tempting offers constantly made to by the business world. There would be two distinct advantages to be realized from an amal- an of the two services on an interchangeable basis: First, those highly desirable benefits of economy and efficiency which accrue through a system of combined administration.

ILIGENCE, persistently pursued, will most invariably bring about fruitful results. Many, many years ago—so long ago, in fact, that memory of man serveth him not, it was quite a common thing for members of the Race to be chosen as jurors in our various courts. Then all of a sudden something happened, We dropped out of sight, and though our numbers increased as taxpayers we were forgotten or clearly over- looked in the shakeup of the jury box. Year after year passed with only the most minor recognition given us in jury service. Some of our leaders —God save the mark—found fault and grumbled as usual, but never once offered a constructive policy. Now and then in our forums during the stress of a political campaign we could hear faint and feeble mouthings about “taxation without representation.” ‘The phrase was handy as a sub- terfuge and reasonable easy of interpretation, hence its frequent use. It is hardly possible to place the whole blame for our failing to receive jury recognition, but some source or authority was manifestly chargeable with base dereliction, Our sensibilities prompted a suggestion of racial pro- scription and a jockeying of names in order to deny us rightful repre- sentation, About two years ago Senator John B. Stephen was appointed Jury Commissioner and a few days after he entered upon his duties three of our local Race men called upon him and detailed the unfair conditions of past year, They pleaded for an ‘even break” and the new commis- sioner said that all people and classes would be given that. Results came quickly, only to be followed by the dismaying condition that those of our troup selected as jurors would rush to the court house and beg off. This involved another duty upon those interested in proper recognition for us, and that was to get Negroes to either accept the court summons or for- ever cease complaint about discrimination. ‘The result is that today six- teen members of our group are doing jury service in the various courts of Denver it is truly a magnificent record, and our thanks should be given to Senator Stephen for his ultimate fairness in dealing with us. The real estate holdings of our group is increasing yearly and with it a mounting up of our tax receipts and other responsibilities. We should be eager and happy to function in anything and in any way that our duty as citizens call for There are still some big-hearted, fair-minded white men in the country who will not deny to us a man’s chance. All that Is needed is intelligent effort to pursue a given object. Strange to say, how- ever, We still have in our midst the grumbling, fault-finding, “narrow- between-the-eyes’ Negro who is always complaining of existing condi- tions, but never has anything to offer worth while. THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME. HERP are still a few people of simple habits and modest ambitions an in the world who give affectionate heed to the above sentiment, re- garded so beautiful and true to life in poety and song years ago. But it does not apply with any degree of efficacy to the happy-go-lucky, gum- chewing, movie-going, dance-crazed girl of flapper tendencies of today. In the February number of the Household Magazine these significant words appear: “What is it that makes life worth living? My grand- mother thought that the mere trials and tribulations she encountered, the more crosses she was called upon to bear, the brighter would be her crown of glory in the hereafter. My granddaughter, on the other hand, thinks that the more. duties she can eseape, the more responsibilities she can shirk, the greater her present happiness; and as for the fu- ture—let that take care of itself.” Need we say more on the subject? Is it not a true picture of life as it is found in many Denver homes at the present time? We freely admit that the human race has never known an era of perfection, and perhaps our own shorteomings were many in our day and generation. But we early learned the value, the beauty and sanctity of home life, and that is the one thing necessary for many of our'girls to prize today. That they do not do so is wholly to their shame and lack of appreciation of the ten- derness of parental affection and solicitude. Taxis and shows, cafés and late suppers are contributing agencies of evil that will not and cannot weigh in value with books and music and ardent love to be found around the home fireside. Moreover, there is an element of selfishness in the habits of a young girl who has no greater perspective of life than the pursuit of uncertain pleasure from noon tilt midnight, The matter of health is seldom consulted. The cares of home and the burdens of mother are never given a thought. Modish gowns and syncopated music are the real appealing elements. Whether we will admit it or not, the truth is that each of us has a real mission in life. And, girls, if you will seek and find the true pathway of that mission, if you would honor your father and mother that their days may be long, let the senti- ment of the poet, sing deep in your heart of hearts, that “there is no place like home.” THE ZONING SYSTEM. zens who have been noting -the networ associations” forming throughout the ¢ ions as to their real purposes, need no 1 the Capitol Hill Improvement Associa ly night of last week, the benevolent put forth and apparently with official s s of these mushroom associations were | doubt as to why they were members ai ey needed light on the subject, hence city building inspector on hand to fur Sg rte Fae ae eg eee naa ENVER citizens who have been noting -the network of yarious ‘“im- D provement associations” forming throughout the city without asking many questions as to their real purposes, need no longer be in doubt. At a meeting of the Capitol Hill Improvement Association at 2205 Hast Colfax on Monday night of last week, the benevolent purposes of these associations were put forth and apparently with official sanction. Evident- ly many members of these mushroom associations were .themselves some- what hazy and in doubt as to why they were members and what they were members of. They needed light on the subject, hence this meeting with Frank M, Ladd city building inspector on hand to furnish the necessary effulgence. He declared “a zoning law for Denver would increase prop- erty valuations without necessarily increasing taxation, and would assist the city in reaching its goal of 500,000 in 1930.” He dwelt at some length on the merits of the zoning system and then concluded his remarks by ex- plaining, “It could also be construed to permit segregation of Negroes to prevent them from building In areas restricted to whites, and vice versa. Attempts will be made to bring about passage of such an ordinance at the next city election.” ‘Thus the cat is out of the bag and from an official source, These pseudo improvement associations “have been multiplying by leaps and bounds here of late and it would seem that their one object is to get ready for the city election. Negroes have been saving up their money and buying property too consistently for some of our striving white brethern, Something must be done to halt them. Denver wants a pop- ulation of 500,000, and so a plan has been devised. Pass racial segregation ordinances and enact other “jim-crow” legislation, and in the minds of these bigots the future is assured. They do not pause to reflect that Way- cross, Ga., and Podunk, Miss., have been doing exactly this very thing for years without any appreciable increase in population. THE COLORADO STATESMAN notes with regret that Mayor Bailey was also a speaker at this meeting and is quoted by the Denver Times of January 17th as having indorsed the zoning system, ‘as a means of providing for the growth of the city in @ Sane manner and to serve as an incentive in attracting more peo- ple to come here to make their homes.” Stripped then, of all its superficialities the proposed zoning system is nothing more nor less than a residential segregation scheme. Warning of this was given during the political campaign of last fall and Negroes may know what to expect at the spring election. Of course, it goes without saying that should such an ordinance be adopted, we would fight it through all the courts of the land. There will be no surrender. However, our curiosity continues to arise and we are eager to know whether the present city administration stands sponsor for the sentiments expressed by the city building inspector and for the adoption of this proposed ordinance. We simply want to know, STATE CAPITOL NEWS LETTER Re ne a eg ‘on the administrative code, ie There are dozens of bills In poth branches looking to amending laws al- ready on the statute books.

For 1923 the sum of $499,550 is asked and for 1924 the sum of $529,250, making a total of $1,028,800, ‘To this must be added special requests that to- tal $498,500, reaching the grand total of $1,527,300. ‘The bonus bill provides for the pay- ment of $15 per month to every ex- service man for every month or frac- tion of a month spent in the service of our country in the World War, ‘Chis would cost In the neighborhood of $8, 000,000 and it provides for the issuance of bonds to this amount. If this meas- ure passes the Legislature it will be submitted to the people at the general election in 1924. ) Civil service seems to be extremery unpopular with Republicans and Den ocrats alike In the Twenty-fourth Gen- eral Assembly, hence the governor's administrative bill will unquestionably find hard sledding when it comes up for consideration, ‘The bill provides for the creation of nine departments in the consolidations of various bu- reaus, boards and commissjons, and the abolishment of some seventy such branches, but it puts the nine commis sioners, ends of these nine new de- partments, under ciyil service. Rather gloomy reports are made by legislutors from the agricultural dis- triets, These reports show that the farmer is actually up against it and that accounts for him turning to any party of candidate that promises him some relief, Increasing taxation and lowering prices of products, high freight rates, shortage of cars and high gterenti on 1eane form the busis of early all complaints of the farmer.

Now the payment of compensation does not begin until ten days after the accident, and the amondinent cuts the time to three days. The present law makes the limit $10 a week and the amendment raises the sum to $15. ‘The Farmers’ Union is taking a live- ly Interest in the present session of the Legislature. The co-operative market- ing b‘ll, the bill prohibiting discrimin- ation’ fn buying, the bill calling for railroad cars within five days after re- ceipt of notice and the bill that prohib- its discrimination in the distribution of cars are four in which the farmers vitally are interested.

Of the total number in the schools, 981 are in the elementary grades, while thirty-two are pupils in the junior high schools and 128 in the senior high schools.

Thirteen Hi-Y boys attended the supper of the city-wide Hi-Y boys' meeting at the Central Christian church last Monday evening. It was the largest group we have yet had to the suppers. They had a very profitable night and are glad they went. Mr. Davis is making splendid progress with the boys of the band. His main effort is to make them proficient in what they actually go over. A large number of boys attend the swimming and gymnasium classes at the bath house every Wednesday afternoon and evening. Again the rooms were literally crowded almost to the bursting point last Sunday afternoon. The speaker was the Rev. Leon B. Mayer of Kansas City, who gave a splendid Bible talk. Special music was rendered by the choir of the Central Baptist church, who acquitted themselves most splendidly. The entire membership of the choir was present, and members of the church came out and backed them up in splendid fashion. The meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon is expected also to be of a similar nature as the one last Sunday. Secretary Thomas J. Bell will speak on the subject, "Is This World Coming to an End?" Questions will also be answered by the speaker. Special piano and clarinet selections will be rendered by Masters Arthur Smith and John Harrington. A special quartet will also render "When the Stars Begin to Fall." The program will begin promptly at 4 o'clock. Everybody will be welcome. C. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. All of the services of last Sunday were well attended, and were highly enjoyed by all present. The hour in the Sunday School was helpful, inspiring and enlightening as usual. The general lesson topic was "The Prodigal Son," and it was well discussed and proved to be of great interest to all the pupils. Last Sunday was the occasion of the First Quarterly Conference. However, there were circumstances over which Rev. R. P. Tyler, the Presiding Elder, had no control, thus prohibiting his being present. Nevertheless, everything was carried out as though he were here, and a fine day was had. Tomorrow there will be the usual program: Sunday School, 9:45 a. m. Praise service and morning worship, 11 a. m. Praise service and evening worship, 7:30 p. m. Rev. C. E. Chapman, minister in charge, will be the speaker both morning and evening. The morning hour subject will be, "The Result of the Presence of the Master." The evening hour subject will be, "Moved by the Spirit." A cordial invitation is extended all church goers. A hearty welcome is awaiting.

Dr. and Mrs. Nichols' small son Wilbur is very sick. We were rather shocked to learn of Miss Yvette Horne of 2003 Bluff passing away Sunday afternoon. Although Miss Horne has been sick a long time, and we had been expecting, still when the Grim Reaper comes he is a stranger to us. Our loss is Heaven's gain. Her funeral will be held on the 24th. We were sorry to learn of Mr. Lee Morrison's illness and operation, and hope for his soon recovery. Mrs. Washington is some better. Mrs. R. Allen was a Denver visitor Thursday the 18th. Mrs. Baskett, her mother, and Mrs. Mary Reeves, her sister, were the guests of their son and brother, Mr. George Morrison's "Recital," given at Shorter the 18th, they report a delightful time. This is Mrs. Baskett's (Mrs. Morrison's mother) first time she has been able to hear her son or be at any of his "Recitals," as other times she has been in Missouri. The Cedar Art Club was entertained delightfully at Mrs. R. Allen's, 2003 Goss, on the 19th. Rev.

A window box for starting early vegetable plants will give the home gardener from ten days to three weeks ndvaniage in eurliness over his neigh- bor who does not haye some menns of uturting early plants. Tomatoes, pep- pers, eggphints, eabbuge, eauliflower and lettuce are the crops that lena themselves hest to starting early In the house. It does not matter what kind of a box Is used, but for convenience {8 should tie about 8 or 4° inches: VY 4 ie TheencS deep and of a size that will readily fit Into the window space. ‘The box can be set on a small table or on special legs or supports, : One method of providing a window. box is described by the United States Department of Agriculture, ‘Take a foup box or some similar packing box and saw it horlyontally lengthwise Into two sections. If the box is too deep for sawing through the center, two cuts can be made, using the top of the box with cover nailed on to form the bottom tray and the bottom part of the box for a second tray. ‘The middle section whieh is cut out may have u bottom nailed onto It, form- ing still another tray. Only one tray will be needed in the window at first for the sowing of the seeds. Later additional trays or flats, as they are culled, are required for transplanting. One point of great importance In sturting early plants in the window Js W see tht they are not over wa- tered. Another point is to turn the box from time to time so that the plants will not grow crooked and drawn toward the window. A supply of good soil should be stored in the cellar or in some dry place in the au- tumn In order to have it ayailable along in February or Mareh when it ts wanted for filling the window boxes. ‘Phis soil should be of a fight loam cr siindy nature and the part used in the transplanting trays should contain a very little finely sifted manure well mixed with the soll. The plants should be shaded for a day or so and kept well watered after transplanting, but as the season advances the trays should be carried Into the open air whenever it is warm enough and the plants exposed to outdoor conditions so that they will be sturdy and accus- tomed to the open air by the time tt Js snfe to set them in the garden. In removing the plants from the trays for setting in the ground a knife or trowel should be run between them so that they may be lifted with a nice block of earth adhering to their roots BEET CONTAINS IRON The beet Is sald to be especially valuable os an article of diet because tt contains a larger portion of tren ghan otter vegetabies. SHOULD FERTILIZE TO GET GOOD CROP Stable Manure; Soil Building Crops, or Commercial Fer- tilizer Necessary.

No one method is as good us any two or the three com: Dingi, and if we are to get the best results from the use of commercial fertilizer a reasonable amount of ma nure or organle matter must be in the soil. ‘The amount of manure required wil depend entirely upon the soll Itself but very few cases are found where the use of manure on gardens 1s being overdone, ‘The sume mlght be said about the turning under of manure crops or soil building crops, Even the weeds that grow upon the surface dur ing the Inte summer, aside from thelr seeds, nre often valuable tor working Into the soil. ‘The method of applying the manure will also depend upon Lo: cal conditions, but as a rule manure that has been piled and thoroughly composted will glve better results than that whieh ts in the raw state.

HIS SUCCESSOR AS SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR MUST BE A BRAVE MAN. “LAME DUCK” MAY BE CHOSEN Retiring Cabinet Officer Evidently Has Been Worsted in the Contro versy With Secretary Wallace Con cerning the Bureau of Forestry. By EDWARD B. CLARK LDCS Se EN ee eee terior? There have been Intimations that the cabinet place iselikely to go. to some former seLator of the United States who did not succeed In secur Ing reelection in November, but there is perhaps a stronger feeling | that the President will offer the place to some business man who never hus held public office. | Whoever It Is that Is to sueceed Mr. Fall will take unto himself a not alto- gether thankful job. A legacy of con- (roversy left to Uncle Sam by Gifford Pinchot, now governor of Pennsy!- vanla, when he departed from Wash- ington public life, is believed to be in part and -perhaps largely. respon- sible for the resignution of Secretary ‘Fall. The Interlor department Is a sort of graveyard for the hopes and am- ditions of men who think they have in them the overcoming spirit und therefore can succeed where others have fale’, ‘There are two schools of public opinion on the subject of what ought to be the endeavor of the secretary of the Interior. Men have attempted to reconcile these schools of thought, and thus far have failed It will be a brave man who will accept Mr, Fall's discarded cabinet job. A desire to re-enter private Hfe In order to give attestion to personal business concerns is a reason offered for Mr. Fall's resignation, The sec: retary, however, probably would not we willing to affirn, solemnly that this Is the sole reason. He probably is going out because his views on meth- ods of conservation are not the views of a school which holds sessions in the Department of Agriculture. The roots of the reason for Mr. Fall's res: ignation are the roots of trees, Dis- agreement about the forestry policies of the government in part probubly induced Mr, Fall to resign from the service, Disagreement Over Forestry. It was a year ayo that it became known in an at first rather nebulgus way that Secretary Fall and Seere- tary Wallace of the Agricultural de- partment were not entirely at one as to the forestry policies. Mr. Fall de- sired that the forestry service should be transferred from the Department of Agriculture to the Department of tho Interior. Mr. Wallace stood op- posed, Agriculture seems to have bad its way. Recently an attempt was made to compromise the differences between the two departments. A compromise where strong feelings exist seldom seems to be satisfactory, It was un- satisfactory in this case. Mr. Pall goes out, Mr, Wallace stays in. When President Harding was select- ing the timber for his cabinet there were two or three men who thought that they could conduct the duties of the Interior department in a man- ner which would Le satisfactory to all the elements In the population, It Is sald that Mr. Fall, who received the appointment, was not at all cer- tain that adjustment of differences would be possible, but he believed his views were right and he thought It better to attempt to do what his feel- ings told him ft was right to do rather than to yield conviction for the sake of compromise, What he thought was right other men thought was wrong, Whoever was right, the result has heen the resignation of Mr. Fall and the seeming triumph of that school of conservation thought which was. tri umphant in the days of Secretary Bal- Inger, compelling as it did his res- ignation from the office of the In- terior, Pinchot's Policy Wins. It seems to be the fixed belief here that President Harding holds with Secretary Full that the forestry advo- cates have gone too far in their de- mands for conservation, —Neverthe- less the other thought on the matter seems to be the more popular one and so to speak the more numerous one, Gifford Pinchot was in Washing: ton not long ago. He had a long In terview with the President of the United States, and tt is not believed that they discussed the weather en. urely. ‘The Pinchot school of conservation believes and always has belleved that if the Interior department shoutd gain control of forestry the trees would not be saved for posterity. For some reason the foresters have believed the Hinterior department officials were the enemies of the forests. On the other hand, the Interlor department's belie! has been that the foresters simply wished to tle up the tree possessions of the United States so they could not be used and at the same time saved It bas been a very pretty row that has lasted through the years, | Ask Admission of More Aliens. ne ARE: Seats Lae gether (entree ene cane: to modify the present Immigration re striction Iu.

A furmer wants a farm laborer and a manufae- turer wants a manufacturing laborer, and it {s asked that legislation be so framed that they will get what they want. The history of the past, how: ever, has shown that immigrants who worked on the farms in Europe will not always work on the farms in the United States. They get to New York and there they stay, unless something draws them to Chicago or Philadel: phia or Baltimore, and neither of these cities has any large number of farms within its municipal limits. ‘There will be a fight in Washington over this immigration » matter. — Tt would seem, however, that unless labor, plus several other organizations, has more influence than it ts generally ac credited with, the bars will be let down, Did Not Know Mr. Pickwick. with the business rush and —all With the business rush and all that, employers of clerks in local bookstores cannot be sure that each struggling young woman they employ has frolicked through Dickens, Hav thorne, Goethe, DeBussy, et al, und, in addition to knowing “looks” knows books.

But he did not stop there, First, he indicated the total only and let each department make such adjust- ments within that total as it saw fit in revising its estimates.

Sweet potatoes, although of tropical origin, are now grown in large quantl- ties in the United States. According to figures for 1921, more than 98,000,000 bushels, valued at over $86,000,000, ‘were produced in this country. Natural- ly the climate of the Southern states Is better suited to this crop than the shorter growing season of the North, but, with early planting, sweet potatoes are grown successfully as far north as southern Michigan, The United States Department of Agriculture has recently made a study of the different varieties of sweet po- tatoes now grown in the United States, and bas classified them In elght groups. Under these groups are at least forty varleties having special characteristles, while the list of names by which minor varteties are known runs into the hun- dreds. Sweet potatoes vary In shape and size from slender banana-shaped roots to those so large and thick as to merit the nickname of “underground squash” sometimes applied to them. ‘The texture, favor and color of the flesh of sweet potatoes range from dry, mealy ones of whitish color and low sugar content, to juicy, pumpkin-col- ored kinds from, which sweet sirup oozes during the baking. Sweet potatoes, prepared In one form or another, may be served satis- factorily in almost any course In a menu. ‘To take the place of white po- tatoes, or to combine with left-over meat, the mealy varieties should be chosen.. For candied sweet potatoes, sweet potato chips, or latticed potatoes, the sweeter, more juicy kinds are best. MARKETING METHODS IMPROVED IN SOUTH Women Ship in Weekly Eggs Graded and Guaranteed. No One Thinks of Shipping Poultry Without First Fattening It—Much Money Made in Selling Pre- serves and Jelly. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Acting upon the advice of extension workers, South Carolina women haye made steady advances in standardizing the products they offer for sale and in increasing thelr output. For example, in Charleston ‘county, starting with one woman two years ago, there are now over 70 women shipping in weekly their graded and guaranteed eggs. ‘Two years ago no one thought of fat tening poultry before sending to mar- ket. Today no one thinks of sending poultry to market without first’ fatten- ing it. ‘The women realize as never before that a standard-bred fowl pro- duces higher-priced eggs and market poultry than a mongrel. ‘The Improve- ment In preserving {s also marked. ‘wo years ago only one woman pro- duced really standard preserves and jelly. Now there are nine who can for market and many others who put up a few dozen to sell. ‘The original woman who sold preserves has so develope! her business that she has built a fac- tory and has planned for an output of 10,000 containers. The members of the local home demonstration club assist her and in thls way not only make pocket money for themselves but im- prove their own work, and in a few years the entire community bids fair to be well known for its specialized products. The number of dozen eggs sold, as reported to the extension agent, is'8;142, and the pounds of poul- try, 19,667. ‘The value of canned goods actually sold is $512, and the total amount of all products is $8, 504.04.

Fashion appears to be of several minds as to the silhouette most to be desired in party frocks, with no inclination to favor slender lines more than others.
