Harrison EDITORIALS ABRAHAM LINCOLN On next Monday the people of the United States will commemorate the natal day of Abraham Lincoln, our great emancipator and first martyred president. Mr. Lincoln is without doubt the greatest statesman, diplomat and ruler that our country has yet produced. Born in poverty and misery, next to that of a slave, he worked his way up from a barefooted railsplitter to that of a storekeeper, then a fatboatman, then a lawyer, and then a legislator, then a politician and then to the president of the United States when our country was in its terrible crisis. He saved our union, put down secession, destroyed slavery and emancipated 4,000,000 of souls and gave them free citizenship and restored peace and prosperity. View him from every standpoint, he was a giant oak, a philosopher of this age. No poet, song nor sculptor or the artist can ever paint or eulogize all of the greatness of this gentle, calm, clear, unyielding genius of a father, saviour, emancipator and martyr, the immortal president, Abraham Lincoln. UNITED STATES GETTING INTO TROUBLE. The recent order of President Wilson severing friendly relations with Germany is simply a move to put us into trouble with people of the eastern continent and to assist England and France in their struggle to crush Germany and to save themselves from innoble defeat. We have no business to meddle in the affairs of Europe. History may repeat itself, as it generally does. At one time we left the European countries to come across the ocean 3,000 miles to a new country so we could be free to worship God according to the dictates of our consciences and be free from kings, princes, emperors, czars, potentates and oligarchies. No sooner did we reach here than we had to fight the Indians and subdue them. A little later on we had to fight England in one of the greatest wars and privation that has occurred in the western continent. We succeeded with the aid of Germany. Again in the war of 1812 we had to fight England and again in 1860 during the civil war England sympathized, aided and furnished ships and munitions of war to Jeff Davis and the confederacy, and now in the year of our Lord are we going to help England, who is down and asking for help? Why need we go 3,000 miles to uphold the dignity and honor of our country and protect her citizens over in England and protect to uphold our dignity at home in Mexico and fail to protect the Negro citizens in our own states. Ohl hypocrite thou art a jewell. Why, the Mexicans have killed more of our citizens and soldiers the last year than have been sunk in two years. Yes, land of the free and home of the brave. There has been more lynchings, hangings and burnings at the stake in the United States the past year than all sunk in ships, and yet Mr. Wilson is not making any effort or saying one word to congress about the killing of poor, innocent women and children simply because they are colored people. The president is saying nothing and doing nothing to stop it at home. Then expect us to shoulder our gun and go 3,000 miles to fight somebody who won't let our rich men trade there. We have no business over there while a state of bloody war is raging. We think that if a real expression from the 10,000,000 of Negro citizens were made they would vote against such a war on Germany. We also think that the 25,000,000 of Americans of German and Austrian lineage would vote no. Let us stay at home, develop our own country and treat all of our American citizens with equality and justice. ROCKEFELLER'S LARGE GIFT TO NEGRO INSTITUTIONS. Iowa College Shares in John D.

He is one of the most capable and popular educators in the state. Under his administration the institute has made great progress. JUDGE ROSALSKY'S NOTABLE RULING VICTORY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Man on General Sessions Bench Orders Name of John A. Magee Stricken From Jury List—Most Remarkable Occurrence Known to Jurisprudence In New York. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—Public sentiment in favor of even handed legal justice and fair play to all citizens alike, without regard to race or color, is on the increase. Evidence that this statement is true has been shown recently by high authorities in several sections of our country, notably in South Carolina and Kentucky. In Kentucky Governor A. O. Stanley not only says that he is against mob P. JUDGE OTTO A. BOSALSKY. Violence, but backs up his words by action. When a mob of white men undertook to lynch a colored man at Murray, Ky., in January Governor Stanley, on being informed of the mob's intention, ordered a special train to convey him to the scene of the mob, and he let it be understood that as governor he would enforce the law. In this city and section of the country the most worthy and manly ruling in a court of justice occurred the third week in January in part five of the court of general sessions, presided over by Judge Otto A. Rosalsky. The court was examining talesmen for jury duty in the case of the People against Nathaniel Motley, accused of the murder of John Press in this city in August, 1916. John A. Magee, one of the talesmen, on being questioned as to his fitness to serve as a juror in the case stated, so it is said, that the best reason he could give for not being competent to serve as a juror in this particular case was his prejudice against the Negro race and that as the defendant belonged to the Negro race he could not serve impartially. Judge Rosalsky was so astonished at such a reply that he ordered Magee's name stricken from the jury list. The court told Magee that, while the white man sits in judgment today on the colored man, one cannot tell but what the colored man might sit in judgment on the white man tomorrow. "I shall order your name dropped from the list," said Judge Rosalsky. "Any man with such views should be disqualified from serving on a jury, for I do not think that any man should sit in judgment on a human being in a case involving his life or property who has such prejudice against a race." Judge Rosalsky's ruling has caused wide comment in legal circles, and among the brightest minds at the New York bar the court's ruling is considered a fair and upright decision. Not only does the court's ruling disqualify John A. Magee from serving on jury, but it is one of the severest blows to race prejudice that has been struck by any judge here for many a day. Many communications lauding Judge Rosalsky for his fairness and strong manhood have been received by the court. My attention was called to the importance to the Negro race of the court's ruling by Attorney J. Frank Wheaton, an able and popular member of the New York bar. Mr. Wheaton says: "Judge Rosalsky's decision will not only go far to create favorable public sentiment for legal justice to my race, but for the members of other races throughout the country as well. Judge Rosalsky's ruling is a splendid sample of what many other fair-minded judges in the courts of this city will do in such cases as they present themselves." Otto A. Rosalsky, judge of the court of general sessions of the county of New York, was born in this city in 1873.

Harrison EDITORIALS ABRAHAM LINCOLN On next Monday the people of the United States will commemorate the natal day of Abraham Lincoln, our great emancipator and first martyred president. Mr. Lincoln is without doubt the greatest statesman, diplomat and ruler that our country has yet produced. Born in poverty and misery, next to that of a slave, he worked his way up from a barefooted railsplitter to that of a storekeeper, then a flatboatman, then a lawyer, and then a legislator, then a politician and then to the president of the United States when our country was in its terrible crisis. He saved our union, put down secession, destroyed slavery and emancipated 4,000,000 of souls and gave them free citizenship and restored peace and prosperity. View him from every standpoint, he was a giant oak, a philosopher of this age. No poet, song nor sculptor or the artist can ever paint or eulogize all of the greatness of this gentle, calm, clear, unyielding genius of a father, saviour, emancipator and martyr, the immortal president, Abraham Lincoln. UNITED STATES GETTING INTO TROUBLE. The recent order of President Wilson severing friendly relations with Germany is simply a move to put us into trouble with people of the eastern continent and to assist England and France in their struggle to crush Germany and to save themselves from inevitable defeat. We have no business to meddle in the affairs of Europe. History may repeat itself, as it generally does. At one time we left the European countries to come across the ocean 3,000 miles to a new country so we could be free to worship God according to the dictates of our consciences and be free from kings, princes, emperors, czars, potentates and oligarchies. No sooner did we reach here than we had to fight the Indians and subdue them. A little later on we had to fight England in one of the greatest wars and privation that has occurred in the western continent. We succeeded with the aid of Germany. Again in the war of 1812 we had to fight England and again in 1860 during the civil war England sympathized, aided and furnished ships and munitions of war to Jeff Davis and the confederacy, and now in the year of our Lord are we going to help England, who is down and asking for help? Why need we go 3,000 miles to uphold the dignity and honor of our country and protect her citizens over in England and protect to uphold our dignity at home in Mexico and fail to protect the Negro citizens in our own states. Oh! hypocrite thou art a jewell! Why, the mexicans thou art a jewell! Why, the citizens and soldiers the last year than have been sunk in two years. Yes, land of the free and home of the brave. There has been more lynchings, hangings and burnings at the stake in the United States the past year than all sunk in ships, and yet Mr. Wilson is not making any effort or saying one word to congress about the killing of poor, innocent women and children simply because they are colored people. The president is saying nothing and doing nothing to stop it at home. Then expect us to shoulder our gun and go 3,000 miles to fight somebody who won't let our rich men trade there. We have no business over there while a state of bloody war is raging. We think that if a real expression from the 10,000,000 of Negro citizens were made they would vote against such a war on Germany. We also think that the 25,000,000 of Americans of German and Austrian lineage would vote no. Let us stay at home, develop our own country and treat all of our American citizens with equality and justice. ROCKEFELLER'S LARGE GIFT TO NEGRO-INSTITUTIONS. Iowa College Shares in John D.

Myrtle Elosee McLeod of Cocoanut Grove, Fla., won the first prize in the recent public speaking contest which was held at Hampton institute under the auspices of Miss Mary W. Nettleton and Professor W. T. B. Williams, who for several years have offered prizes to encourage students in the art of effective public speaking. "The Fezziwig Ball," from Dickens, was the selection chosen by Myrtle McLeod. The other winners were Fred D. Lawson of Roanoke, Va., and Columbus K. Simango of Mount Silinda Mission, Melsetter, Africa. For the first time a girl has won a prize in the Hampton speaking contest. It is therefore interesting to know more about this promising student. Myrtle McLeod was born on Dec. 23, 1894, and at nineteen, after ten years of training in the ungraded public schools, entered Hampton institute. Since her arrival on the Lower Peninsula of Virginia in September, 1014, COLUMBUS K. SIMANGO, MISS MYRTLE E. M'LEOD AND FREDERICK D. LAWSON. this young woman has made an excellent record in all departments of the Hampton school. Fred D. Lawson entered Hampton institute on Sept. 25, 1911, at the age of seventeen. He began in the lowest class of the ught school and is now a member of the senior class. Lawson played on the Hampton institute football team of 1916. Columbus K. Simango, a product of the Mount Silinda Mission school in southern Rhodesia, entered Hampton in May, 1915, and has been making a creditable record in his academic studies and in his industrial work. Simango recently spoke before the Congregational convention which met in Toledo, O. CONFERENCE ON MIGRATION. Urban League in Resolutions Outlines Plan to Meet New Conditions. Resolutions on the Negro northward migration of 1916-17 passed at the conference on Negro migration held under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes at the Russell Sage Foundation building, New York, Jan. 26, were the following: This conference on Negro migration, assembled under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, wishes to go on record as believing- (1) That this is the time of all times for Negroes of the south and whites of the south to arrive at a better understanding of each other and of the value of the two races to each other. (2) That the Negroes' industrial opportunities in the north are unusual; that northern employers are securing and can secure Negro labor, dependable, loyal, constant American labor, and, as it should not be abused or exploited, but should be cured for as well as any other labor. (3) That, although thousands of Negroes in excess of the normal migration have left the south since April, 1916, and more are to follow, still the great mass of the Negro-population of the United States will remain in the southland; therefore, be it Resolved first, in the south; That wherever possible the city or rural community, organizations be formed with the following purposes: (a) To foster good feeling between the two races. (b) To study the health, school and work needs of the Negro population. (c) To develop agencies and stimulate activities to meet those needs. (d) By training and protection to increase industrial efficiency of Negroes and to encourage a fairer attitude toward Negro labor, especially in regard to hours, conditions and regularity of work and standard of wages. (e) To increase the respect for law and the orderly administration of justice. Resolved, second, in the north, That similar organizations be formed or existing organizations urged to take action which, in addition to the purposes already mentioned, shall seek to instruct the Negro migrants: (a) As to the dress, habits and methods of living necessary to withstand the rigors of the northern climate. (b) As to the efficiency, regularity and application demanded of workers in the north. (c) As to the danger of dealing or going with unscrupulous or vicious persons and of frequent questionable resorts. (d) As to the opportunities offered by the towns and cities of the north in schools, hospitals, police protection and employment. (e) Facilities offered by the church, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and other organizations. Progress of a West Virginia School. The West Virginia Collegiate institute at Institute, W. Va., has a larger enrollment of students than at any other time during its existence. It is believed that this increase in numbers is due principally to the raising of the grade of the school to college rank. Professor Byrd Prillerman is the president of the institution. He is one of the most capable and popular educators in the state. Under his administration the institute has made great progress. JUDGE ROSALSKY'S NOTABLE RULING VICTORY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Man on General Sessions Bench Orders Nambe of John A. Magee Stricken From Jury List—Most Remarkable Occurrence Known to Jurisprudence In New York. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.-Public sentiment in favor of even handed legal justice and fair play to all citizens alike, without regard to race or color, is on the increase. Evidence that this statement is true has been shown recently by high authorities in several sections of our country, notably in South Carolina and Kentucky. In Kentucky Governor A. O. Stanley not only says that he is against mob PETER H. JUDGE OTTO A. BOSALSKY. Violence, but backs up his words by action. When a mob of white men undertook, to lynch a colored man at Murray, Ky., in January Governor Stanley, on being informed of the mob's intention, ordered a special train to convey him to the scene of the mob, and he let it be understood that as governor he would enforce the law. In this city and section of the country the most worthy and manly ruling in a court of justice occurred the third week in January in part five of the court of general sessions, presided over by Judge Otto A. Rosalsky. The court was examining talesmen for jury duty in the case of the People against Nathaniel Motley, accused of the murder of John Press in this city in August, 1916. John A. Magee, one of the talesmen, on being questioned as to his fitness to serve as a juror in the case stated, so it is said, that the best reason he could give for not being competent to serve as a juror in this particular case was his prejudice against the Negro race and that as the defendant belonged to the Negro race he could not serve impartially. Judge Rosalsky was so astonished at such a reply that he ordered Magee's name stricken from the jury list. The court told Magee that, while the white man sits in judgment today on the colored man, one cannot tell but what the colored man might sit in judgment on the white man tomorrow. "I shall order your name dropped from the list," said Judge Rosalsky. "Any man with such views should be disqualified from serving on a jury, for I do not think that any man should sit in judgment on a human being in a case involving his life or property who has such prejudice against a race." Judge Rosalsky's ruling has caused wide comment in legal circles, and among the brightest minds at the New York bar the court's ruling is considered a fair and upright decision. Not only does the court's ruling disqualify John A. Magee from serving on jury, but it is one of the severest blows to race prejudice that has been struck by any judge here for many a day. Many communications lauding Judge Rosalsky for his fairness and strong manhood have been received by the court. My attention was called to the importance to the Negro race of the court's ruling by Attorney J. Frank Wheaton, an able and popular member of the New York bar. Mr. Wheaton says: "Judge Rosalsky's decision will not only go far to create favorable public sentiment for legal justice to my race, but for the members of other races throughout the country as well. Judge Rosalsky's ruling is a splendid sample of what many other fair minded judges in the courts of this city will do in such cases as they present themselves." Otto A. Rosalsky, judge of the court of general sessions of the county of New York, was born in this city in 1873. He was appointed to the general sessions bench by Governor Higgins in October, 1905, at the age of thirty-three, being the youngest man ever appointed to the position. He is not only a man of fine physique, but of fine mental caliber and withal upright and just. He is a graduate of the law school of the New York university. --- FREE--REAL HAND MADE HUMAN HAIR BOOK HAIR NETS FREE EXTRA SPECIAL, OFFER Electric Straightening COMB 20c. together with Imported French Hair Net Free.

A good remedy for sleepiness is to wet a towel and apply to the back of the neck, pressing it hard against the base of the brain and fastening over this cloth to prevent too rapid evaporation. The effect will be prompt and pleasant, cooling the brain and inducing a sweet and peaceful slumber. Warm water is better than cold for the purpose. This remedy will prove useful to people suffering from overwork exudement or any Proper Bestowal of Charity. Dickens: There are not a few among the disciples of charity who require in their vocation, scarcely less exorcism than the votaries of pleasure in theirs; and hence it is that diseased sympathy and compassion are every day expended on out-of-the way objects, when only too many demands upon the legitimate exercise of the same virtues in a healthy state are constantly within the sight and hearing of the most unobservant person alive. In short, charity must have its romance, as the novelist or the play bright must have his. CENTERVILLE NEWS ```markdown ``` POEMS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW.

There are people who have no serious mo- ments and it is useless to attempt to change them, but for those; who are doing serious work some form of re- laxation is necessary lest they become warped and the effort grow tedious, It is men who «play —_together is from whom we gy expect, most con- ie si: certed\. action, ee rather than from . those who are Hl - toiling over the | , same knotty i | problems; for ee Meee) continual ham- ae | haa as nS a brings a strain which puts people or edge and they are more easily peeve¢ consequently. Most of the big deal in business are put through in club house, at dinners or on the golf links. There is under such circumstances just enough of some other element other than business to produce the finest consideration. The more we know of the right kind of people the more we trust them and the greater our confidence we have in their ability; or it may be that we need contact to discover their weak- ness which may keep us from getting hurt. The presence of club houses all over the world is not the result of foolish impulse, but rather an ac- knowledgement of man’s natural im- pulse to rest after his work is done. Rest does not mean doing absolutely nothing, for no man of any worth can be satisfied killing time. The reason Negroes do not get more done is because’ every little thing must be put on a business basis and handled like a million dollar transac- tion, getting everyone worked up and consuming time. Although this is a republic, not all the people attempt to do business; business is done by rep- resentatives, while the other fellows crack jokes. The chump who wants to do business ought to be elected in every representative body and held strictly to account. When his term expires, if he hasn't the skill to do the tasks set he ought to be fired and a gag put in his mouth. In the mean- time the fellow who has not been able to even run his own ‘affairs ought to | be made to imitate a school for the | dumb. | There ought to be a room or a house in every community for us to spend a few hours a day in changing ideas, shooting pool or swapping yarns; then when an idea really gets into a fellow's head, let him talk it over with his friends instead of making a jack of himself right out in meeting. We, will find it necessary to play togetpér a long time yet before we can do,¢ood effective work, The sélemn cuss who never lets a light remark pass his lips is dangerous, because he thinks he is ; wise, and spoils all the meetings. He | rises to every point and uses hours to | no advantage. Watch the papers, ‘The chairman of every committee over at the state house is going to give a series of lit- tle dinners, where most of the busi- ness is going to be done. If some benign law woutu wipe out nine- we ) ry f; fle Ge y itz 20 \ Nes aed \\ : S ee s we tenths of the lodge halls and so-called churches and make men attend play meetings there would be more good accomplished than there is at the so- called business meetings, where half the members get sore on each other ‘after the meeting. It is not because most of us want things done different- ly, but because we do not really know the other fellow, which is responsible for most of the time consuming argu- ments. Really, now, who do you look for, the man who knows most or thé man you like best? | MONMOUTR, ILL. 1 Rev. Eugene Thompson was a busi- ness caller in Galesburg on Tuesday.
