He referred also the "migration" of Colored people stating that it was his observation and his belief that there, was more unrest among the Colored people at present than ever before and this he felt was due to the lynching of Colored people. He said, "White People" he said, "make the laws, interpret the laws and execute the laws and there is no danger of likelihood that any criminal Colored man will escape punishment that he might deserve when once he is carried into court.

Pay Your A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU The Dallas Express So far as can be learned, Garland had no enemies who would desire his death. His reputation at the hotel was first-classthrough the officials of the hotel. He was a head of trusted employees, made headache at the drug company. A confession made on Monday by Eddie Stokes, fifteen years old, employed as a delivery boy for the Martin Drug company, cleared up the mystery surrounding the killing, and hit me in the jaw. I pulled my knife and stabbed him once. Stokes said to the officers. Bernie Rickers, fourteen years old, who was with Stokes at the time, tella practically the same story. He toiled to deliver a package of medicine. We went up on the passenger elevator and ran the bell. He was in a room in man 915. We went back the elevator and ran the bell. We stopped for us and we kept ringing the bell. They kept on passing up until finally a Nerro out of the elevator and out rinsing that bell. We told him we came up that way and wanted to get down.

I haled "He leased back against the wall and said, 'Go on, now, and let me have.'

Do you know how, for example, teachers in Southern public schools have an education of less grades? The majority of these are paid $248 per month, or an averaged $400 per month. Four months!

They have gone out to the South, most of them as teachers; some as school supervisors, some as counselors; in fieldwork, in welfare work, in spreading a knowledge of hygiene and child care conditions, the work of these women has been beyond compare.

New York, Jan. 1.—Rev. Dr. Priestly Chamshor, Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church for Africa and formerly president of the College of the Church, was born on February 12th, 1898, at a time died from pneumonia. December 12th, at his temporary residence, 23 Webster Place South Orange, N. J. He had been ill a week. Dr. Camphor was born at Soniat, on August 9th, 1885, the son of Perry and Elizabeth Camphor, both of whom had been slaves until freed during the civil war. His parents died in his early childhood, and he was adopted by his pastor, the Rev. Stephen Priestly, who had him educated at New Orleans College, and at the University of New York, and at Lanta. Later he pursued post-graduate courses at Union Theological Seminary, Columbia University and the University of Chicago. He was professor of mathematics at New Orleans College in 1889-92, and pastor of Methodist Churches at German-founded St. Paul's Church, New York, in 1896. In 1897, he went to Liberia to become president of the College of West Africa, and filled that post for ten years, during the last five years being Vice-Consul General of the United States in Liberia. He was elected to this country in 1908, and for the next eight years was president of the Central Alabama Institute at Birmingham, Ala. In 1916, he was elected Bishop of Africa by the General Conference of the Methodist Church in Libreria, and he was re-elected year at Saratov's Springs, and there after made his home again at Monrovia. He was a delegate to the Methodist General Conferences of 1904 and 1912, and to the World's Missionary Conference at Edinburgh in 1913. He was a member of the African Society, the Freedmen's Aid Association of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Southern Sociological Congress. He was the author of "Missionary Story Sketches," published in 1900 180712 BOSTON NEGRO INVENTS DEEP SEA DIVING SUIT BROKE WORLDIS RECORD ATTEST WILL MAKE RECOVERY O R PROPERTY POSSIBLE. Fortune Awalts Inventor Boston, Mass., Jan. L.—A new world's record for deep sea diving was made Monday afternoon, 15 miles east of the Graves Light, when John F. Turner of Philadelphia, a diver of international reputation, reached a depth of 360 feet under water. This feat is astounding, because it means that Turner descended from a height higher than Bunker Hill monument or the Pilgrim shaft at Provincetown, which are 220 and 25 feet high, respectively. The only thing comparable to it would be a parachute drop from the windows of the Boston Custom House, just below the face of the clock, about 360 feet above the ground. Doubles Depth Limit. A diver can now go more than twice as far down into the sea as the most expert could previously go with the aid of the old-fashioned diving suit of rubber. A new diving suit of armor has made all possible, the invention of Charles H. Jackson, a Colored mechanic, who lives at 12 Albion street, Boston. It was in testing this new suit made entirely of brass, that Turner accomplished his memorable feat on Monday. This new invention is expected to give a great impetus to the search for sunken treasure, because it relieves the diver of the tremendous pressure of the water against his body at low depths and enables him to go with comparative safety into great stretches of the ocean bottom where it is impossible to penetrate with the ordinary divine suit of run-ber. The first use to which this new invention will be put will be the SOUTH CAROLINA BIRTH RATE DECREASES, DUE TO MIGRATION NEW SPIRIT OF AMERICANISM AND JUSTICE BEING SHOWN IN MANY WAYS (Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, III, Jan 1—The final survey for 1993, as arranged by the A-Team, revealed that the year was the greatest in history in material achievements and progress. This is true despite the progress. This is sion has been at its highest state, many outstrikes of feeling in the community, outstrikes of way on matters that have either been ignored, repaired with indifference, or left unresolved. The year has been remarkable for the establishment of large business enterprises in northern nature in northern cities. Never has there been such a showing in the business world as in large, so large, and the co-operation of the people more enthulled. Despite the success of the failures, because of unsound business methods, the confidence of the business community is as ready with their dollars as ever, accepting the failure of the economic progress has been the class of business enterprises capable of new fields of activity, long ignored, and are meeting with success. Among the businesses, real estate, insurance, market meals, store stores, groceries, real estate investments and building construction for and among CIOs approaches $100,000,000, according to the best information. This itself is Agencies for Uplift The national agencies for uplift among the Colored people of the state have increased the financial status of the group ever before. Among the strongest churches, Schools, Churches, Schools, The National Urban League, The National Negro College, Young Men's Christian Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Young Men's Christian Association, War Community Work, National Equal Rights League, The Lincoln League, These organizations are the problems of the entire group and their work is carried on with commitment and support of the people at large. The work of these various organizations is supported by the group, but for 1919 especially the leading forces among the whites of the state have increased their progress, and helpful co-operation of a substantial nature. SON OF ROOSEVELT TO BE HOWARD TRUSTEE Washington, D. C., Jan. 1—Dr. Emmet J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University, announced that Colonel Theodore Hoosevelt, son of the late Dr. James Hoosevelt, States, has accepted the suggestion of Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, that this name be proposed for election as a memorial to the late Dr. James Hoosevelt at the meeting of the Board to be held in Pittsburgh. Howard University years ago, "It is from this institution that we graduate and teach much more than their less fortunate fellows. Upon their leading and teaching much more than their fortunate fellows. Upon their country. I have a peculiar interest in Howard University because of having a close hand at it."

The people of our group are well-educated, well-educated, well-educated, of spokesmen, of both races, who are resolved to distribute even handwoven items to all people in a special consideration from all sources. The spirit of Americanism is manifesting itself in deeds of 'justice and brotherhood.' The economic value of Americanism is swerving Americanism of our group are better more generally and thoroughly aware of their true value to the cause of progress and domestic peace, plenty and Political Activity The political activity of the Colored people promises to excel in 1920, anything ever before seen since the enfranchisement of the Race. As with the whites, the majority of the voters of the Race are between twenty-one and forty-five. Of that number, 400,000 have been in the race, of the nation during the war, and over, 1,000,000 were registered as being of serviceable age. This vast army of vigorous Americans has been a "new birth of freedom," freedom of mind, as well as freedom from the clutches of political tyranny. Potentially, they are, for the purpose of the nation during the war, resolved not to remain Republicans without a just and practical cause. They are not much inclined to the practice and policy of the Democrat party, particularly in the South, but they have listened to its appeals in many sections of the north, in limited places, in the South, and in the South, the faith of the Socialists. Deep concern is manifested in the platform and policies of newly proposed parties, and it may be safely said that more than ever before the Colored voter may be regarded as possessing an open mind, and fundamentally involved in his own decision. There is a spreading determination among the Colored citizens to rid the thought of the people from the stigma, that "money will buy votes." Such an insinuation has been grossly exaggerated, and perhaps is no more applicable to one race than the other but it has had an unsavory effect on the public. The people who are投票ers, politics open a field of action promulgates to be as delicate as it will be in interesting. Upon the whole, the Colored people of America, should accomplish more for themselves in 1920, than in any previous five years of our history. The first step in the process of planes are all set for the flight; it simply, a case of rising to the helsits. SOCIALISTS PLAN NEGRO CAMPAIGN FOR MEMBERS (Associated Negro Press).

(Associated Neuro Press). pardalephia, Pa. Jan. 1.-William Anthony, philosopher, is a statement to the Associated Neuro Press. has some very perilent things to say on "rise adjustment," and he has wisely prompted for the people of his group to learn his opinions. He says: "What Colored people want is to have the same chance to live happily, healthy, useful, successful lives as white people. They will not to be discriminated against in the matter of obtaining employment; desire the same wages for the same work; the same school facilities for their children; the same opportunity for the young people to a�-uire trades, and education in the professions; wholesome housing conditions; hospital facilities, in fact, they want to be discrimination water, because of different types of color. They believe a man's a man no matter what his color and he should be treated as such. If the 12 million Negrees in America are to give brain-labor, hand-labor and heart-labor to this civilization of ours, they must be given the tools of achievement and share the reward of co-workers. They ask nothing of us which is not fair and just and they should be treated fairly and justly their white fellow-citizens. What not? Too many of us, in judging the Negro, fix the eye inexorably upon some acrocious or unjustifiable act of a single individual. Is this the way to judge a race? The tribunal of history does not condemn Christianity because some of its adherents were criminals, nor the Puritans because some of them burned witches. Democracy can only be preserved by citizens as jealous of the rights of others as of their own. There cannot exist two codes of law in a Republic, one for high and one for low. A mistaken notion exists in the minds of many of our people, that Negroes want social equality with the whites. They do not. They are satisfied with their own society; with colored young men marrying Colored girls; with the companionship of their own race — their own homes with the buildup of their social institutions; they are as sensitive in the presence of inappropriate situations as white people are, and are just as adverse to forcing themselves upon people who do not desire their presence. NEW YORK NEGROES PLAN TO SEND RACE MAN TO T. S. CONGRESS. Albany, N. Y., J. H. — The people of our group in New York have determined to send a representative from that community to the House of Representatives, the greatest of the United States. Committees are being formed in New York state by Negro voters to form a state-wide organization that is planned to be the center of the suggestion of J. W. Thompson of Albany, chairman of the executive committee of the council, the movement which will embrace over 300,000 Negro voters. E. A.

These rules are to be used to prevent tuberculosis and other diseases. The Association is working to prevent the "White Plague" as well as to cure it. The health axioms issued by D. E. Breed, executive secretary of the Texas Public Health Association are: "Food: (1) Eat plenty of good wholesome food, but do not overeat. 2. Do not gain down your food; chew it thoroughly. 3. Do not confine yourself to meat, potatoes, eggs and bread; eat a variety of foods. "Preech Air: 4.

Do not stoop or slouch while sitting, standing or walking; keep erect and straight. 9. Keep the body clean externally and internally, wash and bathe regularly, and do not use poisonous drugs. 10. Keep cheerful and do not worry; be an optimist. "Rest and Exercise: 11. Work hard, but take your proper rest and get plenty of sleep. 12. Playtime is as necessary as work time, exercise both mind and body pleasantly." The Texas Public Health Association, which is sponsoring the Modern Health Crusade among the Texas Children, issues these health axioms in order to carry good health among the "grown-ups" as well as the "kid-dies."

Chicago, Ill., Jan. 1, Henry S. Anderson for more than thirty-five years an employee of the Northwest Airlines Baltimore, recently, while on a visit to relatives Mr. Anderson was born in Chicago and graduated from Chicago in 1880 and was a prominent Mason. For more than fifteen years the treasurer of the Appalachian club the Broadus Anderson is one of the well known musicians and musical DO BUSINESS IN THE OPEN itinerant "Merchants" in City of Mexico Flourish Exceedingly, Especially on Sundays. Conditions in the republic which have crowded a million persons in Mexico City, or more than 300,000 above its normal population, have infested the city with antiquities and antique merchants who set up shop where their whim wills. It is impossible to find a street in the city where some antique merchants are present. A person desiring to visit a house can buy almost everything needed without placing a foot within a regular shop. Let a prospective buyer merely enter the market for something and be in touch with a crowd of energetic salesmen, who dilate in machine-gun Spanish on the worth of their wares. They are the greatest day for these merchants. They foregather principally in the plaza, spread their goods about them and patiently wait for customers. Their numbers are augmented by women and boys, and girls, all of them with wigs, hats, strings, pottery, tobacco, drinks, bright-colored ribbons, shoes, hats, dogs, cats, gophers and the dozens of other antiquities. This chill is the most important component. The plazas present an animated appearance. Bands are playing, whistles are blowing, newshoys call their editions, a man with a wheel of chance heeches the credulous to try their luck; a boy with a huge basket balanced atop his head offers sweetmeats at 5 centavos each, and following him comes a seller of ice cream with his frozen dainties tucked away in a container which be juggies perilously on his head but never loses a spoonful, and above all shines a glorious sun which gives no hint of brooding problems of existence. It is a happy life the native leads on Sunday, when with a few centavos he may fill his stomach with sweets, bask in the warm sunshine and listen to music furnished by a Mexican band. A man from the United States, who on a recent Sunday morning took his seat in a plaza, within a few minutes had his shoes shined, his nails manlured, his breakfast served, his morning newspaper's delivered, his measure taken for a sult of clothes and was offered an assortment of diamonds and opals at a bargain. He concluded that there may be more modern methods of conducting business, but none more picturesque than that employed by the outdoor merchant.

It was now two o'clock in the afternoon and she had been trapped about all day before she was a balmy fall day and she couldn't lay the hurting to the weather.

The aged Negro has been providing the gifts for years, partly with his own money and partly from having collected abroad for 120, provided near Macon, where he has become known as "Ten-Gent Bill."

A member of World Trade Club holds the world record for rapid explanation of the Metric weight measurements and the way in which they ought to be used. He does this in one minute. An objector who had never looked the matter up declared that the metric system was complex and that it would take a long time to learn it. It was then that the member of the World Trade Club first undertook to explain, in one minute, all that needed to be known of metric units. He did it to the satisfaction of a prominent auditors. Here is how he did it: “Learn only the units dollar, meter, liter, gram: —dollar, the measure of value; meter, the measure of length; liter, measure of bulk; gram, for weight. You know all about the American dollar. The metric units, meter, liter, gram, are just like dollar, divided decimally and multiplied deགposit. If you want to compare metric units with present units, the meter is 10 per more than the yield; 500 grams is about 10 per cent more than the pound avodrupole, the liter is 5 per cent less than the U.S. liquid quart (13 per cent less than the British liquid quart)—that is all 90 per cent need to use the metric standards.” BRYAN PLANS TO RISE ON WIL SONS. FAILURE. Nebraska's Emergence Deemed of Especial Significance at This Particular Time. Washington, D. C., Jan. 1.—Commotion has been caused in democratic circles, not to mention political interest elsewhere by signs and symptoms that William J. Bryan intends to crowd himself to the front in the affairs of his party as the year of 1920 nears. Mr. Bryan is not yet an avowed presidential candidate but there is a talk that he will in due course become one. Fromer Governor Joseph W. Folk of Missouri gave a dinner here recently attended by a large number of democratic senators and others. Mr. Bryan spoke at length. He was, in fact, the guest of honor. Mr. Bryan was extolled in the evening's speechmaking the following on the dinner it came out that he counseled the ratification of the peace treaty even if reservations had to be accepted. Outwardly praising the President, he nevertheless made it clear he was not for the "no concession" plan of Mr. Wilson. It seems Mr. Bryan does not believe the democrats stand any show of getting anywhere next year with the treaty as an issue. Emergence of Mr. Bryan at this particular time is deemed peculiarly significant here. It is taken to mean among other things, that Mr. Bryan, looking at each matters as the result of actions, the legal resolution, and much else that might be cited, believes the Wilson administration is engaged rapidly for the political rocks. It is evident that Mr. Bryan believes the Wilson leadership is losing its grip. THE DALLAS EXPRESS, DALLAS, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 3. 1920. Winterman GEST PAWNBROKERS ber, 2312 Elm St. Look for the Name JEWISH DAILY SPEARS AGAINST LYNCHING. Th following editorial is from "The Jewish Daily Forward" of recent dates and is a scathing denunciation. The editorial sends to show that the Hewes are with us: Again a massacre on Negroes, and again in a state in the North, where the Negroes' life has always been considered sure. In many instances is the tragedy of Omaha more frightful, more murderous than the lynchings which occur in the South. The mob in Omaha acted like a wild-band of savages, and they simply could not feel intended with the blood of their victim. After they hanged him, and riddled his body with hundreds of bullets, they dragged him through the streets, as mad dogs pull their prey. And among the wildest of this mob were young maids and women. They not only entered the wild dance, but they took pleasure in the act. And even the following day, when the drunkk enness passed, those women related to their friends with pride the active role which they played in that bloody ceremony. The answer which the civilized white citizen of Omaha gives is the old known, "The Negroes became wild lately, and attacked white women, and therefore, they must be lynched." This same answer was given, in Washington, Chicago, and wherever the Negro massacres occurred. But the true reason is surely the same as the true reasons of the massacres: the result of the present economical circumstances and the old injustices against the black people upon the cursed capitalist system which derives its gains by spread-out, massacre of the man and man and by causing war, and of bread between one group of workers and the other. They were fooled into the big manufacturing cities of the North by capitalists' accents. They were forced to leave the South and enter the industrial cities of the North, and so they came, their lives and their freedom because the governments of the Southern states employed all concomitants to keep them back South. They can not help their health, their sweat and blood to those bosses. They could not find the ones themselves in "ghetto" and want them as neighbors. The result—they were compelled to confine themselves into "ghetto" and streets, they were often problemed. When the "housing problem" could not be solved they lived high up, living high up the Negro as 'victim—the Nero who suffered a thousand The black stain on American society, the stain of murders against Negroes, which formerly was stained in the South, is spreading the country over. The consolation which Negroes were given, that Negro masacres were due to special historical reasons, and that they will be lost within time, when the wounds of Civil War will be healed; that compensation is now bons lost: it is disappearing. Those historical reasons LOOK FOR THE NAME KLAR & WINTERMAN ... never existed in the North, and still that part of the country now is showing its heroism by race riots and lynchings. The Negro here became the “goat” of social wrongs. He serves as the sacrifice, like the Jews in Ukraine and Poland; and, therefore, the Jew can so deeply mourn and feel with the Negro in his tragic condition. One bright star in the Omaha tragedy has enlightened the noble-hearted people of America. That is the heroic holding of the city mayor of Omaha. An elderly man of 60, who defended the victim until the last minute and almost sacrificed his life. He was ready to fall as a martyr to the madness of the mob. He allowed himself to be hanged, but would not surrender to the cry for the Negro's blood. Such heroes and martyrs for justice are not so very common among the American elected masters. They are more willing to surrender to the mob, and even defend the mob to the face of the world. For as we know—a mob consists of many voters, and it hardly pays to disagree with a mob of that kind. BIG CUT IN COST OF LIVING AFF TER JAN, 1 FORECAST. Attorney General Palmer Analyzes Situation and Predicts Drop in Food Prices, but Asks for Co-Operation of All Honest Citizens. Washington, Jan. 1.—Expectation of a decline in retail food prices beginning between January 1 and March 1 was expressed tonight by Attorney General Palmer in a statement summing up the efforts of the government to date in forcing down the cost of living. “The cost of living, already under control,” said the Attorney General, “can be reduced if every one who produces will produce his utmost, if those who buy and consume will save and eliminate extravagance and if all honest people will join with the Department of Justice in stamping out profiteering and boarding.” Explaining that a downward trend in retail food price ordinarily was shown during the first two months of a year, Palmer said it was the hope of the government “that this trend will be accelerated this year the campaign initiated by the government, which is just now getting well under way.” Although statistics compiled by the government show that in previous year, Retail Food Prices Increased during the fall months, Mr. Palmer said that since August this year such prices had been maintained practically stationary. Only since October 22, when necessary amendments to the Lever food control act were passed the Attorney General's statement said, has it been possible to deal effectively with all cases of profiteering and hoarding. From October 22 to date, 179 prosecutions have been instituted, and presecutions and seizures have covered eighteen states, it was added. Cut Clothing Prices. Due to co-operation between the government and various retail intermediaries, prevailing profits of clothing had been reduced from 5 to 50 per cent. His The statement which was issued ons with the authorization of the govern- ment officials associated with the Attorney General in the campaign to force down living costs, including the cost of housing, was considered in some quarters as a summary of the government's post-conflict recovery. The new demand of railroad workers for an increase in pay. The railroad company, along with the suggestion of President W. Obama to postpone their demands for increased pay for ninety days, the government to bring down prices. "In August," the Attorney General's office said, "the demand for increased wages by railroad shopmen, based on the increased cost of living, the President announced the cost of living would be lowered as soon as there were settled conditions for housing, farmers and miners had been paid, and as soon as merchants, manufactures, farmers and miners had been paid." More Production Needed. In a statement to the shopowner the company states that the primary step was to increase production and facilitate transport of the goods, and that destruction wrought by the war and the terrible scarcity it created. The company had taken up, with all possible visor, the task of bringing the profiler to book, the stocks of necessaries and other goods at lower prices, stimulating production and facilitating distribution, and attaining that time to gain control over the box of livestock has been large in the hands of the company. It should be, helpful to point out what has already been accomplished in the steps we are in contemplation. To achieve that, it is necessary to look meek and ascertain what the trend of PORTICO RICAN CHILD WELFARE NEGLECTED. That the United States has not quietly given up to its duty as foster parent is not surprising. The Annual Report of the Chief of the children's inland, U. S. Department of Education, which describes very little is known of the children or our island possessions, and it is important that children be dren, that are legally under our jurisdiction, be made a subject for quoinal education, especially for the children of Porto Rico and of the recently acquired islands. Such mager facts as are available indicate that the lot of children in the community are happy one In Porto Rico, which has been for twenty years under our protection, there are according to the report, about 10,000 homeless children under 12 years of age who live in the city, and about 10,000 homeless children many of them begging or stealing, and most of them having no permanent lodging place, sleeping at night in the city, and never ever they happen to find a lodging place secure from the rain. These children are sorted and abandoned children of illegitimate parentage or orphan children whose parents have left no place to live, and they constitute a fertile soil for the implanting of criminal activity in the city, and made in Porto Rico for the care of children, and the facilities for the care of delinquent children are in The baby that is born in Porto Rico has not nearly so good a chance of survival, and there were lucky enough to be born in the States. In 1917, 10,173 babies out of every thousand born in Porto Rico were old. Though this death rate (173.4) was lower than that for the preceding decade, it is very high compared with the rate for the United States, which in 1917 had a rate of five percent for New Zealand white' has a rate of five percent than that of any country. One of the great problems in Porto Rico is the rate of illiteracy. Though the literacy rate is high, it cepitably since our acquisition of the island in 1899, when four-fifths of the children read it, it was necessary at age, 82.3 per cent of the children between 10 and 14 could not read or write, it was necessary at age, 12.3 per cent of the classify two-thirds of the entire population and half of the children be The Virgin Islands have so recently come into our possession that very little is known of the children who live there. They, too, undoubtedly, have the handicap of illiteracy, though parental knowledge of the children of Porto Rico. In 1917, when we acquired the islands, one of the children could not read or write. The latest available rate for the United States, one of the countries, was 7.7 per cent, and that for Denmark was 0.2 per cent. The census report of the Virgin Islands the exact infant mortality rate, but states that the rate is very high. A contribution of 1.5 per cent is to be found in the fact that large number of the married women are carefully employed. The facts in our possession, says the Report, that the level of existence in the Virgin Islands is preliminary to securing more satisfaction surrounding mothers and children is suggested as a necessary preliminary to securing more satisfaction.

HELP THE CENSUS TAKER The taking of the census of the United States will be begun on Friday morning and it is expected that it will be the fulest and most complete ever compiled in the United States. Its compilation will be difficult and a great army of workers will be needed to complete the work, but its success depends upon the ease and completeness with which the public responds to the questions of those engaged in taking it. The questions asked must be answered in a timely and the bulk of the public does not at all realize the importance of answering thus and to a great degree of accuracy the population is lower than it should be. The public must help the census to be carried out as closely as the majority of Negroes for the statistics which will be made un must show facts as favorable an possible consequence of the increase in population, earning capacity and acreage, we want the figures of the census records to show that the population has increased in population, earning capacity and acreage, we want the figures of the census records to show that the population has increased in population, earning capacity and acreage, we want the census officials by an answer readily and completely every We feel that years which have passed since the taking of the last constitution, the last constitution for more education, pay better opportunity and better opportunity. The rate of increase in our holding of education has increased of litteracy in encouraging; but these facts will be made known to the outside world only as they are recorded in our records by rates and percentages. There are many of our people who possess the necessary education, may not understand the necessity of cooperating with the government employees by giving the deference they deserve, and may help greatly by informing such of these among us whom we may meet of the necessity and advantage of the Figure, as applied to the study of the progress or the retrogress of our duties to our group to see that as far as we are concerned the facts concerning ourselves and those about intelligence and correctly stated. NEGRO SOLDIERS EXECUTING THEIR DUTY. It is claimed that two Negro soldiers nearly caused a riot in PEI in 1915, white deserters. It seems strange in the light of same reasoning that such a thing should be. They were very seriously commissioned by their commanding officer to bring back the fallen, and were whole authority of the U. S. army behind them. But their prisoner was unaware we think of such occurrence we know that Bolshevism never showed itself in a manner way. Anarchy is distaste for constituted people, lay the blame which nearly caused a riot. We know that Bolshevism made no difference to the members of that mob if these black men did not make no difference if their prisoner had shown himself a coward and less than a real American. He was an uncle of the government as represented by these men. As long as such conditions exist, the government of America is in THE DALLAS EXPRESS. DALLAS. TEXAS. SATURDAY. JANUARY 3. 1920. MY OWN WORK. (By Henfy Van Dyke) This is my work; my blessing, not my doom; Let me do my work from day to day In field or forest, at the desk or loom, In rearing market place or tranquil room; Let me but find it in my heart to say, When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, This is my work, my blessing, not my doom Of all who live, I am the only one by whom The work can heat be done in the right way." When vagrant winnets beckon me at satire, "This is my work; my blessing, not my doom Of all who live, I am the only one by whom The work can be best done in the right way." Then shall I see it not too great, nor small, To suit my spirit and to prove my powers; Then shall I cheerful greet the laboring hours, And cheerful turn, when the long shadows fail At eventide, to play and love and rest; Because I know for my work is best.

To be more kindly disposed and charitable in our dealings with each other, constantly seeking opportunities for advancing our fellow man and his interests and thus advancing our own. To be more thrifty in order that in so far as we individually are concerned we can remove ourselves a little farther from economic slavery and help in promoting for our special platform of financial stability. To seek in every way possible to give to black children better educational and cultural privileges. To make of ourselves a dependable cog in the wheel of our progress by our own advancement by constructive help rather than destructive criticism. To ally ourselves more fully with those who lead us along constructive lines. To foster race enterprises as far as we are able by greater patronage and actual investment. To value our racial interests above all personal or individual gain, because we realize that what hurts or hinders our group, in its last analysis, injures us also. To be more diligent in seeking by just and orderly means the rights and privileges to which under the Constitution of the United States we are entitled and without which we can never obtain our proper development. To continue to protest in every way possible against all forms of injustice and discrimination against our group. To be more resolute, facing a greater determination the odds against us, realizes that unbroken souls having a firm belief in a Divine Creator have never lost in any struggle however long it may have been. NEW SPIRIT. 100 drawa nearer we seem to see promises and as soon getting closer together and more frequent as seemed. It may be well however for Negroes as we have been so far more for Indians, purerly and simply. We have suffered because we have allowed ourselves to be so soothed and sown of speech and promises which have fallen for whom we have allied ourselves. That day is alluringly ours the G. O. P., but in an Put it up to Hays" goes from now on and forever time forth are going to mean more and more in our various states and the country at large she ourselves with any party do so not blinch the Good Party of Lincoln and Grant, have been given positive proof that we shall be one for sentiment, as such, is long since past. The we convince those who desire our allegiance to shut up." The South are Republicans. We in Texas are RR for many years and we hope that the after effect cause us never to sever that allegiance but be a Republican because we feel that Justice to us is the one that shows that else where or no other reason than that we expect our group from allowing clipping from the New York World gives us again the leaders desiring support of variousay think that all is necessary to obtain the au a fat purse and smooth speech: As 1920 draws nearer we seem to see promises and shadows of good things to come getting closer together and more frequent as far as the Negro is concerned. It may be well however for Negroes all over America to realize that we now are sadder but wiser, for having depended upon promises purely and simply. We have suffered because we have been deprived of the joy of being a Negro and sweetness of speech and promises which have fallen from the lips of those with whom we have all allied ourselves. That day is past. We are again allying ourselves with the G. O. P. in a new spirit. The slogan of "Put it up to Hays" rises from now on and forever. We Negroes who this time forth are going to mean more and more in the franchise contents of our various states and the country at large should intend that if we ally ourselves with any party we do so not blindly, not simply, but with the help of the Grant and Grant because we feel and have been given positive proof that we shall benefit directly from such a choice. The time for sentiment, as such, is long since past. The present day demands that we convince those who desire our allegiance that they must "put up or shut up." We in the South are Republians. We in Texas are Republians. We have demanded that we and we hope that the after effects of the 1920 election may cause us never to sever that allegiance but it be said here and now, we are Republians because we feel that Justice to us and our interests is to be found more easily among them than else where. We are Republians for no other reason than that we expect our group to be benefited by it. The following clipping from the New York World gives us to feel that maybe once again the leaders desiring support of various planks and coherence think that the goodness of support the support of Negro delites is a fat purse and smooth speech: The Colored Brethren. er who will be the "Frank Hitchcock" to round off the Southern States for the great Colored brethren for the great quadrimeral feast next year. They course necessarily very thirsty, and as the couple since the last feast and as the Colored bret as office-holders in the South since the days of reliance now being the Recordership of Deeds an assay at Washington, D. C., no doubt their demand the first of the year you will see the agents are especially those with a barrel, wending their efforts effort to capture the Negro delegates. the Colored brother reflects upon what happens I wonder who will be the "Punk Hitchcock" to round up the Colored brothel of the Southern States for the great quadrennial brethren of the Southern States for the great quadrennial feast next year. They are very hungry and of course necessarily very thirsty, and as the cost of living has increased double since the last feast and as the Colored brothel have been eliminated as office-holders in the South since the days of Mark Hanna, who being the Recordership of Deeds and Registrarity of the Treasury at Washington, will need to be soon after the first of the year you will see the agents of the different candidates, especially those with a barrel, wending their way South in their disgusting efforts to capture the Negro delegates. When the Colored brother reflects upon what happened in Michigan relative to the Senatorial fight, no doubt he will try to get all he can while the reting is good. If election money is good for a white man in Michigan it is good enough for a Colored man in Alahanna or Georgia. New York, Dec. 6. J. B. ANDERSON In this campaign as never before Negroes must think of their group welfare. The various considerations will come before them will demand careful investigation with a view of ascertaining their ultimate advantages or disadvantages to our group in America. We feel that all Negroes at this time as never before realize that we are now facing the most crucial of all times of our existence. The events politically of the next five years will determine to a great extent our future in America. Money for a few must not blind the eyes to the welfare of millions of us. The disgrace of the Kaiser cannot increase his unpopularity. Neither is it necessary to consult an alienist as to his mental condition. We know that he's bound to have been crazy or he would have stopped the war as soon as he heard that America had placed our black troops against him. Boycotts may be effective as far as eggs, bread and other edibles are concerned but they can hardly be recommended from the standpoint of conventionality, in the case of pants, shoes, etc. Those few barrels of Xmas "whisker" have made customers scarf for boot-legers. Its rather inconvenient to be forced to consult a chemist every time a fellow wants to buy a drink. We understand that William Jennings Bryan will again enter the Presidential race. Despite whatever else may be said about him he can't be called a "quitter." Cuba, as a wet spot in a dry world, will last just long enough for some enterprising Prohibitionist to figure out that the Dry Act applies to American dependencies also. For once, the ordinary human being will enjoy the same distinction as the rich clubmen who plan to form an "Old Clothes League." Don't be one of those whose visits to church are limited to three; the day of christening, the day of marriage and the day of the funeral. The Prohibitionists have made it unnecessary to resolve "never to drink another drop." Education is the door of hope, but hard work is the price of entrance.

THE MIRROR OF PUBLIC OPINION SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT OPTIMISM Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt expresses the body of the letter to the Susan B. Anthony Amendment to the constitutional Law have been ratified by a sufficient number of States by February 1. Will H. Hays, the Republican National Committee, like hope. He argues, and with reason, that if women are to vote everywhere for President, they should not be limited to the initial primaries to select candidates. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has asked a question, and at the same time made of comparison, that throws a disconcerting light on the typical attitude of citizens of the United States toward Mexico. Mexico, we have heard it said over and over again, is unsafe both for the people who travel and the people who dwell within her boundaries; she is a mountain retreat for bands; a nation without a government; a plague spot which should be cleaned up. There is some truth in all these assertions. The Mexican government is admittedly inefficient, and murders are all too frequent. Optimism of this sort must be taken with several grains of salt. Thirty-seven percent of the population have responded. Fourteen are lacking. Some of these are already militant, while the other hand, the antagonism states by the appeal of Louisiana's Governor—opposition based on the belief that the state's teachers—is a hard thing to counteract; and the seven weeks between now and February 1 is a very short period. But the statistics collected by the national association indicate, if we accept them, that we are not yet in a position to civilize our neighbors. Between July 31 and the end of November of this year nine Americans have been killed in Mexico, and during this same period thirty-eight persons (two white men, two Mexicans, and thirty-four Negroes) have been lynched within the borders of the United States. Six of the Negroes were burned at the stake. It is a question worth asking: whether we consider the murder of nine Americans in Mexico of more importance than the murder of thirty-eight men—Americans and foreigners—on our own soil. We suppose this amendment will be eventually ratified. Wise or unwise, we can decide, according to the times of the week, to 'twee well' when 'twee done', then 'twee well' 'twee done quickly', is a sentiment in the language of the language of suffragettes might well participate. The parallel is imperfect. The total number of murders within Mexico for the period mentioned might account us if it were known. On the other hand, murders for gain in this country are not included in the lynchings statistics, and we need no tabulated record to inform us that such crimes are not just now on the decrease. The Chicago papers are enough. Our country is doubtless safer than Mexico, but we can hardly assume the mood of righteous anger and go forth to form our neighbors without appearing a bit hypocritical. There is blood on our own hands. Our own legal management is not so good as we are. We must protect. Nobody doubts the necessity of reform in Mexico, but if we are honest we shall begin with reform as with charity at home. — N. Y. Globe President's Position is Inconsistent in Sphil. (From the Baltimore American, would be the only chairing of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate to lay upon him the undivided burden for the failure of the Senate and the nation's Executive Branch in the failure of the Constitution to spirit as well as in letter. The provision for advice and consent on the Constitution, the agreement and not division. Its purpose is to further the public business of the United States and the personalities of individuals. The Witsen-Lodge deadlock, therefore, is NOT BOLSHEVIKS—JUST AMERICAN INJUSTICE. A report has gone out from Washington, and certain Southernized officials and real enemies of the race are conveniently blind to the fact that the practice of lyehning Colored people in America, of burning them alive, without hearing or trial; of denying to them—the race—the right of aufrage in the South; of discriminating against them in both the North and the South, antedates by many years even the first concession of Believism. Mr. Lodge says, and is to be credited with full sincerity, that he is being accorded with actual American rights and interest; that it shall not endanger these. Here he is a clear intimation to the proposal to his list of reservations. Mr. Wilson will not make such, taking the ground, apparently, of the Senate's proposal to the Senate, but for the Senate to advise him, and that reservations are advices. This is inconsistent in spirit, and the session indirectly sought to advise the Senate with respect to the reservations, and the embittered man. We heard nothing of this so-called "Bolshevism" until the unrest in Russia had inflamed and aroused the persecuted common people during the world war. Bolshevism is a comparatively new development. American injustice to the oppressed and persecuted American-born Colored man is more than a century old. It began with the forcible landing of African slaves at Jamestown, Va., by Southern whites, and it has never ceased—not even when the race was spilling precious blood to establish this government; not even when Colored soldiers were falling by the thousands to preserve this country as one and indivisible, during the Civil War; not even when our blood and kin were fighting and dying in the jungles of Cuba and the Philippines to atone for the loss of "The Maine"; not even when our boys were drenching the soil of France "to make the world safe for democracy," as our unsolicitous and Negro-avoiding President so beautifully declared. Denjal of suffrage, hurtful and hateful educational restrictions, jim-crow cars and other forms of discrimination, wholesale lynching of Colored men, and even Colored women about to become mothers, and the horrible, cannibalistic revelries of Southern whites burning alive Colored men and women who have been merely charged with some crime, is not the work of Bolsheviks—it was and is the work of Americans. Winning People's Support. (From the Camden (N. J.) Post- Telegram) "The special session of Congress just closed saved to the nation nearly a billion dollars, and if nothing else, it would be a republican control except this is would warrant an overwhelming Republican victory next year," said Senator H. Hays, in a dinner speech at New York. But this achievement, excelled in, is should be only the beginning of a policy in government expenses, so that the burdensome taxes which contribute to the high cost of living may be reduced. The Bolsheviks have not tainted the Colored people of this country with their iconoclasm. The Bolsheviks have not aroused Colored people to rebel against orderly government. For white officials of the national administration at Washington and the Negro-hating South to nurse a delusion is merely for the purpose of shutting their eyes to the real, fundamental cause for the unrest among the Colored people in this country. It is not Bolshevism that denies to the race EQUAL RIGHTS, EQUAL PRIVILEGES and EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES we won on many a bloody battlefield below Mason and Dixon's line; in Cuba, in the Philippines and in France. It is not the Bolsheviks who provide jim-crow cars for Colored Americans—even those who returned from France decorated with medals of honor and horrible battle scars. A more popular policy the Republican party could not formulate, for the people are in revolt against the government and in administration and will support the party which definitely and in good economy in government expenditures It is not the Bolsheviks who are doing the lynching of Colored people in the South. It was not Bolsheviks who started the East St. Louis, Washington, Chicago and Knoxville riots, and it is not Bolsheviks—at least not the Russian type—who own American theatres and cafes in American cities, refuse admission, or aggregate, respectable, cultured, loyal Colored people. People Agree With Hays. No, and that, too, with emphasis, it is not Bolshevsk, but just AMERICAN INJUSTICE, that is responsible for the unrest prevalent among the people. Judging from the general trend, the people are willing to agree with the publican National Committee. Speak out to the publican of the publican of the publican of the United States, the national chairman holds that exact justice is not immune, but not least exact to the people, which simply means a square deal. "We pledge the Republican party to have the support of the best minds in the organization in his endeavor to The lily-will Republican organization and that hand-picked Republican committee will meet their Waterloo, National Committeeman Hollisburg will meet the same fate that his predecessor met. The handwriting is on the wall. —Washington Bee. THE NEGRO AS AN ASSET OF THE SOUTH. If in his enshakement the Negro was regarded as the South's best asset in her wealth column, is it not true that, after today, he has been loosed from the shackles, he stands as a still greater wealth-producing asset of this particular section of the United States? Mr. Hays, in promising the squares, data matters, in that which the people aspect of law abides. Law-abiding citizens realize that labor deserves proper recognition, that capital must be treated fairly, and that the people aspect of law to suffer interminably because of difference between two forces, the capital and the human capacity. All that is required is give and take, but the giving cannot all come from on side- This writer believes that this fact is conceded by all thinking men of every race, who have watched the progress of the South, and whose eyes are not blinded by prejudice or passions. The muscle, mind and heart of the true Negro must challenge the high esteem of all who watch southern progress and development, and obliterate every lot of antipathy to the race which at one time ranked in the breasts of many who could not, or would not, see the disadvantages under which the Negro suffered with his new-born freedom. It today that antipathy exists, it is only found in the minds and consciousness of the Negro of the white race, which refuses to see through the dark skin of the Negro any of the excellencies of his inner manhood. Such antipathy, born of and nurtured by ignorance is to be pitied rather than condemned, ignored rather than resented. No Hope For Woman Suffrage In Democratic Party. According to *K. Washington* discussions of the National Women's Party see no encouragement for women in attitude of the Democratic party towards the ratification of the suffrage amendments, as quoted as expressing the belief that ratification of the suffrage amendments generally to take part in the next presidential campaign will come with ease. The resolution adopted to the resolution adopted by the Republican National Committee at its convention that special sessions of State Legislatures be called for the purge of the party. This day and time in which we live presents the Negro's opportunity of demonstrating his value to his country. Typically a southerner, he points with pride to the peace, prosperity and growth of the Southland, its freedom from the turmoil and strife of the times so forcefully portrayed by the press in picturing conditions in other parts of this country, where anarchism, Bolshervich, red-handed, awfulness, idleness and suffering are rampant, because of the preponderance of a white element in the former fields of labor which arranges to theft the right to destroy and break down. The Negro's ability to work in the real labor force for wealth production. If in the South coal mines, iron mines, barren lands and forests of timber have been developed and made to yield wealth, it was the hand and muscle of the Negro which proved the important factor in this development. If school houses, churches, palatial homes, sky-scraping buildings, streets and driveways have ornamented and enriched communities, it was the brawny arm of the Negro that made possible this strong and attractive ornamentation. If the magic whistle of the locomotive quickened and made grow and propper the latent places of the old South, it was the brawn and muscle of the Negro that leveled down the hills, tunneled the mountains and filled the low places, that made possible this strong and attractive ornamentation. If the magic whistle of the locomotive quickened and made grow and propper the latent places of the old South, it was the brawn and muscle of the Negro that leveled down the hills, tunneled the mountains and filled the low places, that made possible the comings of that powerful engine of civilization and development. "The fact that the Democrats, by refusing the last two votes in the Senate, help up the passage of the amendment for more than a year makes us heitate to count our ratification votes until they are cast," was the explanation. "If Republican Governors will act there is no question but the amendment will be passed promptly. "There are still six full suffraes states which have not acted. In four of these, Wyoming, Washington, Idaho, and Arizona, the Governors are Republican. The Legislatures of four other states, presided over by Republican Governors, stand ready to ratify if called into session. They are Connecticut, Vermont, Delaware and Indiana. Republican Legislatures meet in regular session in January in Kentucky, Rhode Island and New Jersey. This would leave only one state to be secured." And for this service, to which the opposite race must feel itself a debt, the Southern Negro asks only that he be accorded that justice before the community in which he lives and moves, and has his being, that is promised him in the statute books of the States, which were written nothere, not by him, but by the hand of the Anglo-Saxon. He asks that these laws do not stand as mocking, but as fundamental justice to be enforced by the courts; and other communities, keep ever in mind the great truth that "Righteousness exalts a Nation." —Birmingham Reporter THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS. On the day after Christmas most people pick up the wrapping papyr and string scattered about and ask themselves whether they really had the gift. They ask themselves if the gift is giving and receiving of gifts as they ought to have had. They know that those to whom they gave, liked and appreciated the spirit which led to the gift, are not the ones who give the answer, the overflows abarrears, the crowd around the exchange counters in the stores and additional packages on the shelves. The critics give the answer, in many cases, is less trouble and less effort to give sensible and useful appraisals and neither profit nor gratification to the recipient. No matter for whom the gift is designed nor how expensive it will be, Government Savings Securities will supply the giver's needs and the receiver's wants. Thrift Stamps, Certificates and Liberty Bonds are adjusted to the limitations of Moreover their usefulness is not momentary. They will not be cast away, but they will be used for they grow and increase in value with the passage of time. They carry with them the spirit of desire for friendship and affection. They are appropriate for all and more recent mankind, and they can be treated to feel that little thought has been spent on a gift no matter how expensive, if it is manifestly in- Thrift—0—Grams Texas children in the public schools own more than $12,000,000 in Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps. The Text Book Board of the State of Arkansas has adopted a state course of study in thrift to be taught in the schools. The course of study is taught in the Treasury Division of the Treasury Department. Twenty-five thousand school teachers in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Louisiana are teachin' their pupils the rudimentary principles of thrift. The technically every school room is organized into a Thrift Club for the study of War Savings and Thrift Stamps. Galveston County has more owners of Savings Stamps in $1,000 amounts than any other county in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District. The Texas Teachers' Association recently endorsed the school course of study. Under instructions from the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, teachers times weekly in the public schools The high cost of living is not the only problem before America, according to Vice-President Thomas B. Bush, who is also a manace he says. "One of the old ideas of the republic was the ability to be a citizen, but the was the limit of capacity and endurance" declared the Vice President recently. "The real evil which has been the cause of leisure. I speak in a censorious way because I am myself the only one who begs the thoughtful consideration of younger men who have the good of the republic at heart, and who are not by any additional striving to produce more, to economize more and save more. Each American citizen it has well within his power to follow the vice president's advice, no matter what the cost of living is. He is able to earn, whether small or great, the securities of the government, Thrift Stamps, War Savings Certificates, Certificates of Indebedness and Liberty Bonds give opportunity to save at least a part of his reward of A Problem of Peace During the world war more than four and a half million of our soldiers, sailors, and marines had their lives lost in the war. Government for a term of five years, in sums ranging from $1,000 to $10,000, was paid to mating $7,800. Because of the rapid demobilization and the confusion attending a resumption of civil life, a new set of laws were enacted and have allowed their insurance to lapse or be canceled. The problem with the new laws Co-operating with the Bureau of War Risk Insurance in a general educational campaign are leading scientists to volunteer as volunteers of volunteer units, making up an enormous field force for spread of permanent Government insurance. This insurance is not for every one it is only for the former servicemen. The Army, Navy and Marine Corps. Congress wanted them to enjoy privileges of life insurance protected from the protection wants them to continue the protection now that peace has come. The previous insurance are low, the previous insurance are tractive, and behind every policy stands the security of the United States. NEGRO R. R. E. EMPLOYEES PROTE TENT ANDERSON AMXENMEND. (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C. Jan. 1—Our people employed by the railroads are disturbed over the Anderson amendment and have started a campaign against it.

Therefore it is necessary, in the interest of social good, to teach that it is profitable to serve society usefully and unprofitable to carry on industry for the more purpose of the money. "It can still be adjusted, but of course, if that one fact is faced. But nobody faces it except enthusiasts borne up by a religion or an ism, and they cry discord where, by the very nature of the struggle, there can be no peace. It can be adjusted; not permanently, for a settlement made today would not fit tomorrow's needs of a new question the discovery of a new mineral, and there would be another dislocation. Rather the machinery can be created, and through which a continuous readjustment can take place. That machinery must be the units of industry themselves; the organized units of manufactures and employees, bankers and brokers, and companies and distributors. There are functions and the use of only factors that can function. Any other method is a waste of time. "That is the ultimate. We will come to it some day, ad dive up the fiction of a geographical government in an area of industry." LABOR CONFERENCE DECISIONS SUMMARIZED. Washington, Jan. 1. — The following are one-sentence summaries of the more important declarations and international trade unions and international trade unions and railroad brotherhood executives, help in the fight against the great victories for human freedom must not have been won in the fight to strike must be maintained. Trust trusts' labor policy is autocratic. The labor insitution is a revolutionary measure; it violates the federal law. Government employee must be pro- tocted in their right to join A. F. or L. unions. The legislation would establish involuntary servitude. Federal judges should be elected by the people; they have no control over the laws. Anti-trust legislation has been used to outlaw unions and has not proclaimed a legal battle against monopolistic outrages. The system of fixing wages solely based on the number of hours worked and bread bills was denounced. Inflation manufacturer and credit and protectoring manufacturers, dealing with the publicity of tax returns, responsible for high prices. High prices can be reduced by the devaluation of currency, prevention of hoarding and unfair price fixing, prevention of the publicity of income tax returns and dividend declarations. The ideal of America should be the highest level of government for service and not for profit alone. There can not be a full release of pro-publicity in an automatic control of industry. There must be a spirit of cooperation between employers and workers. Collective bargaining is the first step in the development of our industry. Credit is social and should be controlled by the government, not by private enterprise. Continue government administration of railroads for at least two years, through test of this theory, under normal conditions, may be made. Ratification by the senate of the treaty is required. The attempt of reactionaries and autocrats to classify the men and women of the country does not in accord with the fundamental principles of our country was resented. It is in a great community of interest between all who serve the world, and all workers, whether of the rich or the poor, who can move to tread and a common goal to gain. The issues "require the action of our people upon both the economic and political field" and "we urge that every practical action be carried out by all who are members of Labor, with the co-operation of all other organized bodies of workers, and purpose set forth in the declarations of loving citizens of the United States, to carry into effect the principles and purposes set forth in the declarations. 150 REDS START BIOT AT ELLIS ISLAND FERRY. Woman Who Says Husband Was Deported Leads Nob in Outbreak. New York, Jan. 1.—Led by a woman who declared her husband had been deported to Russia yesterday on the "Soviet Ark" Buford, a mob of 150 "Reds" today attacked the entrance to the Ellis Island ferry in an effort to reach fellow radicals still awaiting deportation. A riot call was turned in before the police could restore order. The riot formed around the gatekeeper's cage several minutes before the attack was launched. Then the woman, proclaiming herself an anarchist, stepped forward and drove both fists through the last window. As pieces of glass crashed to the movement, the crowd began chanting the "Internationale." "Down with this dirt rotten government," screamed the woman. "They have taken my husband and are taking the husbands, brothers and fathers of us all." Unable to quieten the mob, Asa Mitchell, superintendent of the barage office, located at the tin of Manhattan, turned in a call for police reserves. The mob turned on the first policeman to answer the call and beat him, but when more reserve with drawn clubs and a detail of coast guards with fixed bayonets arrived, the crowd suddenly became doctile.

In this chapter Mr. Thayer said: “And to this remark the howling, whirling dervishes who attended the Convention might have responded, if they were still more strange for through, by yelling, Hail, Hall, the gang's all are here,” and would have darted off to catch up with their fellow bachnals," etc. Commenting upon this depiction of a National Convention, Mr. Beale, in his letter, said: “If these conditions were strange for the nomination of a President they were still more strange for medicine have been so energetically principles and planks of a political platform.” “A Political platform would surely have more clearness if thought out in the libraries and studies of the scholarly and country than in the term of the most noil and noise of a political convention; it would have more consistency if made away for its jarring elements; it would have fewer evasions and ambiguities if not made under the pressure of its clashing interests, and the great organic truths of sociology and economic for the guidance of a party could be more profoundly considered and "There never has been a time when the two great parties have differed so fundamentally that so to the very foundation of society; never a time when so many brands have hawked about as a cure for the distemper of the state, and therefore hawked about as a cure for the form and straight thinking, holding out no false hopes and promising no short cuts to the millennium, is more for these reasons. Mr. Eale subscribed $10,000 to the Republican Party, and he prizes as here outlined. The only stipulation that he made was that the machinery submitted "Of course, bills of furnishing the machinery and expense required for reading the manuscript submitted.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE The North American Review, at Mel Beler's suggestion, has been given a chance to present and of manuscript passed upon by "ON DOWNY BEDS OF EASE" Oldtimer May Recall, With This Writer, Their Experience With the Old Feather Mattress. I used to be able to steep with one under me and one over me. That was in the upper and unfulished halfstory of our country house that was fitted with a better-cooked system than any air-cooked car you ever rode in. The only heat in the house was in a big fireplace 40 feet or so from where some of us slept in the coldest weather. The tin cup of water sometimes set in the window in case a feller got dry in the night would freeze solid and have a frappe white wart in the center, come morning. And all over the part of the upper fostered where my breath had been distributed was a fine skating rink. A little sloping, it is true, but with ice thick enough to hold. These ticks were filled with geese-whiskers that mother and I had extracted from the epidermises of reluctant honkers, a bunch at a time, through the spring and summer and early fall months. Sometimes when an inexperienced goose-barber would jerk out some of the meat along with the basement of the feathers, the result was an unsorvy condition in the tick, which nothing would eradicate except a long pendulous time over the palings. The air would get in its work in that way, and the sleeper on or under bed would not have so many drowsy people. I had a few years ago when I had become mattress broke, I was parked in a small room at a country hotel and sicked on a large embankment feature that was taking the plunge. Finally I jumped in and at once went beyond my depth. I sent up damp bubbles, tred feathers, and dusted fashion, used the breast stroke and the Australian crawl, and finally, just as I was about to go down for the last time, I was gushed to the surface by the smell of the seven-legged dog that took a deep and much-needed breath, grabbed the pad for safety, and got out. Then I led two pillows to me for lifesavers and reworked, with an old pair of candle-molds I found in the closest as a breathing tube and periscope combined. That was years ago, and even put firefighters every one in wattle — Fear Life. Method Was Effective. "Where did you get it?" asked Megmistrate Date, in Brooklyn, of Edward F. Sturk, who was before him, charged with being found Bound in a state of gloomy introduction on a street corner. "Judge," replied the prisoner, respectfully, but somewhat anxiously, "I made it yourself?" asked the inmate. "How did you make it?" "Judge," was the response, "I have no idea and I want to keep it to myself." "You raise a difficult point," said the unguhristate. "How do I know that you did it?" asked the prisoner, "I will show you the recipe, judge," said the prisoner. "Only please give it back to me and preserve my confidence in the matter." "You handed up a paper on which something was written. The Judge read it carefully and handed it back to the prisoner. "You said the maghristate," "Sentence is suspended." Whereupon the prisoner left the courtroom, followed eagerly by a large crowd, and walked down a section—Cincinnati Tuesar Star. Cake Broken Over Bride. It is an old belief that a murgance should take place when the moon is waxing and not waning. If it be to a lucky match, and in many north country towns for an old moon, the state of the moon before the wedding day is fixed. In the north, too, no wise bride will ask an odd number of guests to her wedding day. It is not that if this is done one of the guests will die before the year is out. In the Highlands it is taken as a terribly unlucky sign if a dog should be present at her wedding day; while in Derbyshire prospective brides still tell the bees of their wedding, and decorate the hives for the occasion.

Porta, San Francisco metropolitan whose deductions on a conspiracy to overthrow the world coming to an end today, was said to have sprung, reported in the newspaper, to the world's demise were greatly exaggerated. The rotation of the sun, preventing a pull of the planetary planetary system, an anatomy for any considerable length of time would prevent likewise the sun's demise. Porta said. It was this sun spot that he feared. The World End Was Here.

Porta, who is said to be an amateur meteorologist, just outside Los Angeles, predicted early in July, according to this information, that beginning about the end of *Lie earth* until the middle of January there would be a series of terrific storms, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The circles that these forecasts have been strongly enlarged upon in the television news was attributed to Porta. Miners Quilt for World End. Minus, Ok.

After using 2 years is now 22 inches long-Woman's Glory is Her recovery of $30,000,000 worth of gold bullion from the hold of the British linen Laurentine, which was torpedoed by the Germans off Lough Swilly on the Irish coast during the World War. Despite the fact that two divers have already been killed in attempting to salvage this sea treasure, Driven Turner, who made his second world's record Monday afternoon, is confident of getting the entire $30,000,000. "I don't get it and ever live to talk about it," said he. "I won't blame my failure to this new divining self of armor, because, it is the most perfect thing of its kind." Idea From Explosion. The idea of the new invention was literally driven into the mechanic's office in the new Boston subway while he was employed there. Two of his rides were crewed by a man who worked him till it was this terrific experience that made Jackson use the need of protection for his clothes, like tunnery and divers, and been a pile driver in the course of his work. He brought him into close contact with divers, including Turner, with whom his familiarity with the problem of row escape from death in the subway, his familiarity with the problem of association with Turner, and his reading about the shikins to it. "I sure knew newspapers, combined to put Jackson to work on his ideal of metal construction, positive genius, had nothing to begin with except this one idea, and his varied experience in life as a Dress With a Derrick. Jackson had been improved for a time by W. E. Thomas, president and general manager of the Atlantic Machine Screw Company, at 48 Bintford street, South Doston, and Mr. Thomas, realizing the value of the invention, financed it for him. As soon as the invention was completed, he asked Turner to test it for him. Any suit of armor is necessarily a cumbersome thing. Even the fine suits of mall worn by knights of the old were clumsy at best, but this new diving suit requires the assistance of a derrick to get into it. Lightness is not at all desired. In fact the heavier it is the better because weight is required to carry it to any great depth. The suit used in the test weighed 400 pounds. Like all suits of the kind, it is made in two parts, a band-piece and a body-piece. Three men can handle the headpiece, but it requires the service of a derrick to handle the body-piece. The headpiece, except for minor improvements, is like all dividing headpieces. Even the old rubber suits always had a metal head-piece was never attempted before, nobody knows. The body-piece, although it is made in one piece like the old rubber suit, which is more or less familiar to all people who have lived around the sea-coast, is really made of five pieces, two legs, two arms and a corset. The corset is shaped to the body like an ordinary corset, but it is of heroic size. The arms and legs, also of heroic size, are secured to it by mechanical joints which permit a forward and backward movement. Each leg and each arm is divided into two parts by a movable joint at the knee and at the elbow, which permit a slight motion up and down in combination with the backward and forward motion from the joints at the hips and shoulders. A very important improvement is a small clutch at the end of each arm, which permits the carrying or picking up of cables or other objects by the diver, who operates the clutch with his fingers inside the suit of armor.

Immediate Demand By Race Against This Humiliation Will Give Needed Test On Presidency, Senators Are Aspirants For Nation's Highest Honors. Washington, D.C., Jan. 1.—An unprecedented situation faces the 14,000,000 Colored Americans. Never for the full citizenship was put into the Federal Constitution, has the close of any really great war come, in which our soldiers took part till now. Also the war just fought was to establish the reign of true democracy. The post-war Congress is in session, and a matter is before the Senate with which democracy for the race is connected, namely, interstate railroads. The issue is abolition of the iniquitous Jim Crow car in interstate travel by including senior senator to introduce simple amendment forbidding the segregation of passengers for color-interstate travel and inducing other senators to support and push the amendment to the railroad bill. The need is for individuals and race organizations to write or telegraph this week to their senators to offer and push such an amendment. Also to bombard Senator Cummins, Chairman, and do or give the race a hearing. The National Equal Rights League is already doing this and urges all to act. No Clause Against Jim Crow in the BILL. The Cummins Railroad Bill was reported from the Interstate Commerce Commission to the Federal Court ever against Jim Crow cars. It is given the right of way. Every Northwestern State University student from the National Equal Rights League to secure and support an equal opportunity education of interstate, or denial of any grade of service because of race or color. Republican Aspirants. Another opportunity also presents itself in this connection inasmuch as Senators Harding, of Ohio, Howard, of Illinois, and Washington are out for the Republican presidential nomination.

It is vital for the race in the states of those states where the race requests immediately. In fact, let them receive requests from other NEGRO YEAR BOOK OFF THE PRESS.
