RACE SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED NOW Pittsburgh Paper Praises Mitchell For Naming Dr. Roberts PRINTS TIMELY EDITORIAL Gazette-Times Thinks Placing of Physician on Board of Education Will Renew Color Line Discussion. Of the many things said about the appointment of Dr. Fugene Percy Robert to the New York Board of Education by Mayor John Purroy Mitchell, none is more pointed and full of interest than the comment of the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times In a well-meaning and a well-written editorial this paper, which is regarded as one of the fairest and strongest in the Keystone state, says that the New York City Executive has only shown due recognition to a well-deserved people. "RECOGNITION FOR THE NEGRO "R-renewed discussion of the race 'question' may be expected as a result of Mayor Mitchell's appointment of Dr. E P. Roberts to membership of the Board of Education of New York. Insignification will be expressed in quarters which are given to cubrists whenever recognition in accordance with their deserts are given the colored people, but enlightened, tolerant and progressive people will applaude Mr. Mitchell's action and wish Dr. Roberts well in the honor post to which he has been appointed. It may be taken for granted that he is qualified for the work and it is a fair assumption that the very strangeness of his position and the inevitable opposition to his selection will prompt him to greater diligence and more intelligent effort that are given to the school service by some of the other nearly half a hundred members of the board. If he does, he will confound the critics of the mayor and considerably advance the members of his race in popular estimation. "By the last census there were only 91,700 colored men and women in Greater New York, not quite 2 per cent of the population, but a number sufficient to command recognition in the selection of public school managers, especially in a community that is given to affording representation to almost of its varied elements in the conduct of public affairs. But the main point for consideration is that the colored people are with us on an equality of citizenship with the white and if justice is to be done them and the more numerous Caucasians are not to pile up they must be treated in accordance with the colored people."—Ex. Dr. Roberts is a graduate of Lincoln University, Chichester county, Pa., a classmate Drs. N. L. Edwards of Bluefield and I G. N. Marshall of Keystone, and it is very gratifying to hear of such honor. SAM LANGFORD IS THE REAL WONDER OF BOXING WORLD Veteran Negro Fighter Has Scored 53 Knockouts in 151 Bouts, While he Has Never Taken the Count. Considering the fact that he has barked no tighter in his fourteen years of ring experience, the record of Sam Langford, to Boston "hime crusher," is one of the greatest st in the book of pagism. Langford has had 151 battles and he met the greatest heavyweights of his day who did not draw the color line. Here is a summary of his work: Number of battles, 151; knockouts, 58; woe, 34; beat, 14; no desson boats, 22; draws, 28; knockout by opponent, 0. In more than 331.8 per cent of his battles he has knocked in foes, and this list included a good fighter, some of them is very even inflicted in a couple of rounds. Among these who have taken the count as a result of having collided with one of "Thomas" pleasing wallops are: Harry Wilks, Tom McMahon, Jim Johnson, Gwendell Smith, Colin Bell, Jack Lester, Jim Flynn, Sam McVey, Jim Barry, Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Tony Caponi, Jeff Clarke, Kondike, Willie Lewis and George McFaddin. SOME SAM H. SEATEN Largfdd a swine were in houts with some of the best fight of the last sixteen years. Included in the list he has beaten by the decision route are: Joe Jeannette, Sam McVey, Bill Lang, Sandy Ferguson, Young Peter Jackson, Geo. Gunther, Kid Gino and Joe Gaus. In no decision bouts he many a fighter he allowed to stay the limit of six to ten rounds and later beat the same man, getting two peres instead of one. This is also true of his losses. Those who are credited with wins over Sam are Jim Fynn, Danny Duane, Dave Hally, Larry Temple, Joe Jackson, Joe Jeannette, Sam McVey, Jack Johnson, Young Peter Jackson, Gunboat Smith and Jeff Clarke. With the exception of Jack Johnson, he beat every one of these men in other bouts, knocking out some of them. Johnson always refused to meet Langford again, although Sam dogged his trail all the time he was champion and offered to fight him for nothing, but Johnson knew better than to give Sam the chance. Colored Man Member of Ohio State Senate COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 15. After an interval of ten years the colored race again has a representative in the General Assembly of Ohio. He is Lee Beaty, of Cincinnati, Republican member of the house of delegates from Hamilton county. He is an attorney. The last colored man to sit in the Legislature was Henry T. Eubanks, who was a member of the House from Ouachaga county in 1914 and 1915. He died some five years ago. Eubanks was a barber and it was his opposition that killed the proposed barbers' licensing board. He told the Legislature that if the 'board was created this would mean colored barber shops would be displaced by white shops, because colored barbers would be refused licenses and, taking his word for it, the House promptly slaughtered the bill. George W. Hays, colored, was a Representative from Hamilton county from 1902 to 1905. Cincinnati was his home. Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, editor of a colored newspaper, served three terms in the House from Cavahoga-co. He served from 1894 to 1897 and again from 1900 to 1901. He was defeated for a fourth term in 1902. The first colored man to be elected to the General Assembly was John P. Green of Cleveland. He served in the House from Cavahoga county in 1882 and 1883 and again from 1890 to 1891. He was a member of the Senate in 1892 and 1893. He is the only colored man ever chosen to sit in the Senate. ROSENBLOOM SEEKVOTE ON PROHIBITION Wheeling Senator Says he Will Wait Until All Amendmen's Are Submitted on Same. BELIEVES THE PEOPLE ARE FAVORABLE TO SALOON Senator Ben L. Rosenbloom, who has indicated that he will ask for the adoption of a joint resolution providing for the re-submission of the question of prohibition to a vote of the people said that this resolution will not be presented until after all those seeking amendments to the prohibition have finished their program and have decided on what changes they wish in the present statutes. EDITORIAL: - Yes, since there are grave doubts as to what the will of the people is on this question, many believing that the people were ill advised in the election that made the state "dry," (not dry either), we say submit this question again to the people and with an intelligent understanding if they again vote wet let her go. As long as the present law is in effect men are going to violate it. Because prohibition will not, cannot and never was intended to PROHIBIT Give the people another chance. Give the people licensed saloons under the regulation of state authorities and deaway with this great army of "bootleggers," grip sack and that lawless element of "pocket" carrying saloons whose contents are of the cheapest "kill-me-quick" stuff that has ever been known. Let men be free indeed. This is no time for enslavement. You can't regulate a man's tate. Prohibition has no moral efficacy about it any way. It does more toward making men law breakers than anything that has ever been put on the statute books. Yet, we favor the strict enforcement of such a law as we already have on the statute books. If you want the state dry, dry it in fact. But can it be done? No! KEYSTONE, WEST VIRGINIA, FRIDAY, JAN. 26, 1917 PRESIDENT PROPOSES THAT UNITED STATES AID PLAN FOR WORLD PEACE WHEN THE PRESENT WAR ENDS WHAT PRESIDENT WILSON SAID TO THE SENATE “Perhaps I am the only person in high authority amongst all the peoples of the world who is at liberty to speak and hold nothing back.” “The question of armaments, whether on land or sea, is the most immediately and intensely practical question connected with the future fortunes of nations and mankind.” “There can be no sense of safety and equality among the nations if great preponderating armaments are henceforth to continue here and there to be built up and maintained.” “In every discussion of the peace that must end this war it is taken for granted that that peace must be followed by some definite concert of power which will make it virtually impossible that any such catastrophe should overwhelm us again.” “It is inconceivable that the people of the United States should play no part in that great enterprise. They can not, in honor, withhold the service to which they are now about to be challenged. That service is nothing less than this – to add their authority and their power to the authority and force of other nations to guarantee peace and justice throughout the world.” “Such a settlement can not now be long postponed. And the paths of the sea must alike in law and in fact be free. Peace cannot be had without concession and sacrifice.” Woman's Board Meeting a Success. The Executive Board of the Woman's Baptist District Convention met with the St. James Baptist Church, Welch, Monay of this week and transacted their routine of business for the past year and laid plans for a successful year's work ahead. Their plans of operation for another year are very progressive. Mrs. N. V. Watkins, of Algoma, President of the Convention, and Mrs. A. C. Hairston, of Accoville, its Secretary, with the other members of the Board were present. Rev. R. H. McKoy, D. D., President of the Golden Rule Beneficial and Endowment Association, accompanied by Kevin. L. Dabney, another one of the leading and influential gospel messengers and a strong worker in the cause of the Convention and the Secretary, constituted a committee to examine and approve the minutes printed by the McDowell Times, which they did. Their presence in this city was welcomed by all who saw them as they are well known. This Convention is doing much good for the benefit of the race and the women and men representing same are composed of the best mothers and fathers of the race race. They are strong advocates of the educational growth of our people and the immediate amount of spiritual and moral good being accomplished by them in their local work is being very effectively felt and approved. Ideal Hubby Praised Felix Graffe, a printer of New York city, was praised as "one husband in ten thousand," by Magistrate Cornell in the domestic relations court, after Graffe had been arrested on his wife's charge of desertion. Graffe's claim to the honor, as told in the court, consisted of the following: Supported a fractions mother-in-law in his house 12 years. Turned over to his wife his weekly pay of $21.50, from which she allowed him $1.50 for carfare and lunches. Walked eight miles a day to and from work to save money for lunches. Prepared breakfast for family of three children while his wife slept. Washed the dishes, cleaned and swept he home on all the holidays. It was his final virtue, doing the housework on Christmas, that caused him to flee. After hearing the evidence Magistrate Cornell praised the husband and dismissed the charge. Citizens of Rluefield Coming to the Front New and Progressive Organization Perfected. A number of the colored citizens of Bluefield met at the home of Mr. Ric- ard Watkins on Sunday afternoon and performed an organization to be known as the Negro Business League of Blue- field, W. Va. The following officers were elected: Richard Watkins, President; W. H. Alen, Vice Pres.; John Marshall, 2nd Vice Pres.; Wm. Fuqua, 3rd Vice Pres. E. H. Oreasy, Secretary; J. E. Bank, Am't Secretary; Luther Johnson, Treas- urer. The object of this organization is to bring the colored citizens in closer touch with each other, to better and promote the interest of the entire race in general. We hope that in the near future every colored citizen in this city will be a member of this organization, as there is much good that can be done. We will meet next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the residence of Mr. Wm. Foqua, Jones Sk., and will look forward for a large attendance. Come one, come all. SENATE AND HOUSE GETTING DOWN TO WORK SENATE PASSES BILLS FOR DOUBLE ELECTION BOARDS AND MOTHER'S PENSION (BY T. EDWARD HILL) CHARLESTON, W. VA., Jan. 23.—The West Virginia Legislature is getting down to work during this the third week of the session and laws for the government of the citizens of this great state will very soon begin to flow out of the hopper. There seems to be a tacit understanding between Republicans and Democrats that no effort will be made during the early days of the session to play politics, and as a result no strickly party measures are being introduced, no political speeches are being made and no divisions are being made in either the senate or House along party lines. The Senate is making more rapid progress than the House and the machinery of the upper branch is running smoothly while it is a common occurrence for the machinery in the lower house to slip a coog. DOUBLE ELECTION BOARDS. A bill of great interest to the people of this state providing of double election boards in both primary and general elections has passed the Senate. This bill was introduced in the Senate by R. L. Gregory and in the House by Jimmie Weir and provides that there shall be two election boards of each composed of three commissioners and two clerks. One set will supervise the voting as at present and the second set will come on duty at noon and begin counting the votes already cast. Two ballot boxes will be used, one until noon when the second election board begins work when a second box will be substituted while the votes cast in the first box are being counted. The two boards will certify the result of each precinct as is done at present. The effect of this bill will be that the result of the election at each precinct will be known a few minutes after the polls are closed and the county will not be put to extra expense because the ten men will be paid for only one day while at present the delay often cause the five to work one day and a night. This bill will become a law because the Democratic leaders in the House are supporting it. MOTHERS' PENSION BILL A bill of great interest to the women of West Virginia was introduced by Senator Ben L. Rosenbloom of Ohio county and provides for the partial support of mothers whose husbands are dead, or have become permanently incapacitated for work by reason of physical or mental deformity, or confined in some West Va. institution, or abandoned mothers when such mothers have chi dren under fifteen years of age. No mother with real estate or personal property aside from household goods, or who receive benefits from the Workmen's Compensation Fund are eligible to benefits under the Mothers' Pension Fund. The county court can lay an assessment on all property in their respective counties to provide the fund and are the judges of those entitled to receive benefits therefrom. GOAL WEIGHING BILL SION. From Washington comes the report that no increase of pay for government employees will be granted at this session of Congress. The Senate committee or appropriations is said to have resolved upon a policy of "ruthless economy" and to have steered its heart against all appeals. "Ruthless economy" will doubtless be found, as time goes on, to be a consim gernane to "pitiless publicity." Delegate Skagge, of Fayette county, has introduced a bill of great interest to both coal miners and operators. This bill is now before the Committee on Mines and Mining and has not yet been reported to the House. The United Mine Workers and others interested in the welfare of the thousands of coal miners in West Virginia are working for the passage of the bill but what chance it has for passage during the present session is not apparent. A copy of the bill follows: HOUSE BILL NO. 112. A bill to amend and re-enact section forty-seven of chapter fifteen-H of the code of West Virginia (Barnes edition 1916), relating the weight of coal. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF WEST VIRGINIA WEST VIRGINIA That section forty-seven of chapter fifteen-H of the code of West Virginia (Barnes edition 1916), be amended and re- enacted so as to read as follows: Section 47. It shall be the duty of every corporation, company or person engaged in the business of mining coal to pay the miners thereof by weight, and they shall procure and constantly keep on hand at the proper place, the necessary scales and whatever else may be necessary, to correctly weigh the coal mined by such company, corporation or person. And it shall be the duty of the scale of weights and measures for every county in which coal is mined and sold to visit each coal mine operated therein, and where such scales are kept, at least twice each year, and test the correctness of such scales. The owner or operator of such coal mine, or any five or more of the miners working therein, may in writing require his attendance at the place where such scales are kept, at other times, in order to test the correctness thereof, and it shall be his duty to comply with such request as soon as he can, after receiving such request. It his attendance is required by the owner or operator of such mine, or if by the miners working therein, and the scale tested be found not to be correct, his fees shall be paid by the owner or operator, and if his attendance be required by the miners and scales tested be found to be correct his fees shall be paid by them. If in any such county there be no scale of weights and measures, the duties herein required to be done and performed by such scale, shall be done and performed by the inspector of mines for the district of which such county forms a part. TRAMP GETS A FORTUNE G. F. CHEATHAM FORSAKES HOBO'S LIFE FOR $40.- 000 FARM. Man Who Left Home at Age of 12 Has Wondered Over World For 32 Years. George E. Cheatham went to bed the other night in the tramp room of the Bloomington (Ill.) City hall, a hobo. The next morning he woke, heir to a $200,000 farm, the valuation of which is placed at $40,000. Left an orphan at the age of 12 years. One ham took up the life of a wanderer, traveling from state to state and from country to country trying to find solace for the loss of his mother. Now he is 33 years old, and he has visited every state in the union as well as many foreign countries, including Australia and almost all of Europe. He speaks seven languages, including "hobosse," and has a smattering of Chinese and Japanese. It is a rule of the Bloomington police department that every person who lodges in the city prison must give his name and address. When Cheatham drifted into the place and asked for a bed he replied truthfully to the questions of the sergeant and then went below for his night's rest. Chief of Police E. E. Jones happened to glance over the register of the tramp lodgers, and the name of Cheatham arrested his attention. He recalled that he had recently received a letter from a lawyer asking him to look for one Gio E. Cheatham, of Murphyyboro, Ill. A description of the man accompanied the letter, which said that a 200-acre farm had been left him by an uncle. When Cheatham heard the good news the next morning, he was dazed. He exclaimed: "Why, them 300 acres up there in Jackson county are as rich as a munition maker's daughter, and right there is where the undertaker is goin' to find me in the end." NEVER BOUGHT A RAILROAD TICKET. Cheatham boasts that in all his wanderings, extending over a period of 20 years, he has not spent a dollar for a railroad ticket. "I've rode everything," he says, "from a Jersey cow back home when I was a kid to the cushions of the limited, and I never spent a berry for palateboard." But that's all over now. "I'm goin' out there on the farm and I'm goin' to set it down. That means that I want a wife I want a good, sensible, home-like girl that could be affectionate to an old 'be like me, and I'll give her the best that the old farm can produce." STRONGEST NEGRO CONCERN ON EARTH. GROWS BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS With Nearly $4,000,000 Business in Force; Asset $2,500,000; Outlook Good For $10,- 000,000 in 1917. The annual meeting of the stockholders of Standard Life Insurance Company, which was held at the Home Office of the company, in Atlanta, (as, on Thursday, January 18, was one of the most interesting and inspiring meetings of the kind ever held in Atlanta. Stockholders were present from several states, representing 740 shares of the company's stock and with a large representation by proxy. Reports of officers showed the largest year's business in the history of the company. The company operates in nine states, has an agency force of 171 high-class men and wrote more than two million dollars worth of business during the year. The total income received was $152,955.66. After paying all claims, taxes and operating expenses of all sorts, the company showed the handsome saving of $67,400.50 over and all disbursements, the total disbursements being $44,905.07. The substantial growth is evidenced by the fact that the total assets increased from $159,158.61 in 1916, to $247,410.34 at the end of 1919. Two very remarkable facts brought out in the reports were the low death rate and the low rate of lapse. Contrary to the general opinion, it appears that from the mortality experience of this company, colored folks do not die any faster than other folks. The death rate was only 72.7 per cent of the expected and the lapse were only 33 per cent of the new business written. The average lapse for most companies is 50 per cent and the opinion prevails that all colored business lapses easier. The directors of the company authorized a loan of $80,000 on the Colored Masonic Temple at Jacksonville, Fla., which is a building similar to the Old Fellows building of this city, in order to save the property from foreclosure proceedings which would result in its being lost to the race. The company expects that a large business will come from the state on account of the gratitude of the people for the saving of this building. Another evidence of the substantial growth of this quarter million dollar company was the recommendation by the stockholders that the board of directors begin at once negotiations looking to the erection of a Home Office building for company. The present quarters have been outgrown for some time on account Minera, Coke Men and Laborers wanted all over McDowell Coun- iy Business Openings. NUMBER 46 WHITE BOY GETS 99 YR. SENTENCE Arkansas Youth Severely Punished For Atta-king Colored Girl THE SOLID SOUTH CHANGING Unexpected Administering of Justice in Dixie to Long Oppressed Race Looked Upon as Sign of Awakening. ASHDOWN, ARK, Jan. 12—Is the situation in the Southern States gradually getting better? If so what is causing the change? These are questions that we asked in many sections of the country, especially in the South by those who more fully understand the gross injustice they have suffered and the indulgence of the courts to a militarism and duty commitment to members of the Canadian race who have committed crimes of violence against colored men and women. It may seem strange, and it is as strange as it seems, that a white youth could be sent to prison for attacking a colored girl, but this is just what happened here Friday, January 12. Fred Edwards, of Tewarkana, is under a 99 year sentence for attacking a colored girl. What will be done by the counsel of the young man, or what steps he will take to stay the sentence, it could not be learned after sentence had been imposed on young Edwards. There are those who see in the great exploits of colored laborers to the North, East and West a great awakening of justice from the Southern whites of those whom they have so long oppressed. They are in this sentence of the Edwards boy and the act of Governor Stanley in delaying a Kentucky mob to save a colored man from being lynched, who had been accused of murdering a white man "A Sign of Better Times" in Dixieland. Everyone hopes that this is really true. To All Mine Officials And Miners--Lest We Forget Gentlemen—I wish to call your attention to the approaching season of mine explosions? The greatest loss of life from DUST and GAS explosions in W. Vaq has occurred during the months of February and March. The responsibility rests upon the officials and it will be necessary to have DE-CIPLINE and the cooperation of the riner to guide the ship to a safe landing through the atmospheric changes during these months. Keep your mines in a most condition. Watch with the greatest diligence the Barometric changes for gas. Keep your mine well ventilated to carry off and dilute the gases generated. Eliminate solid shooting (if any) and see that clay is used for tamping. The writer commends the officials and the miners of his district, for the reduction of accidents, due to their complying with the mining law and co-operating with his instructions for the safety of all concerned. Trusting you will make greater effort to keep the 16th district free from a possible explosion. Yours very sincerely, LAWSON BLEENKINSOPP Inspector 16th District. Bill to Abolish Capital Punishment Bill to Abolish Capital Punishment Capital punishment will be entirely abolished in West Virginia if the bills presented in the senate by Senator M. K. Duty, of Pennsboro, are approved by the legislature. One of the bills provides a life imprisonment penalty for murder in the first degree. The penalty for murder in the second degree is named as imprisonment for a term of from five to fourteen years in the state penitentiary. Another bill provides a life imprisonment punishment for rape, and a third the character of punishment for the crime of treason, with, with a secondary penalty of from three to fifteen years at the discretion of the trial jury. of the rapidly increasing business of the company and on account of the great demand for space in the Old Fellows building it has thus far been unable to secure more room there.

SOME MEN GUILTY OF SAME SIN. Why will women continue to annoy the insides and everybody else with that constant grind on chewing gum? What do they find in it? You can't half enjoy a sermon nor intelligently listen at a well prepared address on account of the constant noise of this crazy-like up and down of women's jaws and the unpleasant smacking of the lips. If the money that is spent for chewing gum were economically laid aside for better and more worthy purposes, the preachers' salaries could be more easily paid. The women' would have money to buy something worth while. The rediculousness of women all over the church with that constant grinding, pulling and smacking of the mouth with that fruitless stuff called "chewing gum" is enough to drive any body away from church or any other public place where you see so many of them together. Then again, it is becoming so prevalent that you find some silly men with their old mouths stuffed full of chewing gum. Men, will you stop it? Say yes! BLUEFIELD PEOPLE ORGANIZE In another column of this issue, appears an account of a new organization perfected in Bluefield. The names of the gentlemen connected therewith are men who represent some of the best homes and families in the city. They are men of industry, thrift and general economy. We predict that if the rest of the business men would lay aside personal feelings, jealousies and put their shoulders to the wheels and their hearts in this project it wouldn't be long before Bluefield would become one of the leading business centers in the southern end of the state. Now is the time for the people of Bluefield to get together and make good. DO RIGHT After all, gentleman, we must admit it pays better to live a life of respectability than it does to live "hirrim scherrim" and to do things you know to be totally wrong. So brush up just a little, put on a face of right living at least. Then when you start into it you will find it easier to do right, live at it than it is to do wrong all the time. Do this yourself because it looks and sounds better, then you may never have to be embarrassed by being made to do so. Do right-look the world in the face even though you be poor—look men in the face. The only policy by which man should live or even hope to die, is the policy of right. Be honest and true to yourself and you will be so to everybody else. No man is a thing, commonly speaking, when his friends turn their back on him. Merchants stop knocking your own town just because it happens at times that you can't do all the business. There is no harm in a friendly rivalry or competition but there is a great sin in the man who tries to destroy every body else's business just because he can't do it all Advertise your business and your town. Let the people know what you have for sale. Don't be a knocker. Sell your hammer or give it away and get you a horn. Then toot it, even tho it is your own horn, toot it and toot it loud. Advertise by all means KENTUCKY GOVERNOR PREVENTS LYNCHING OF NEGRO AND SAVES STATE FROM DISGRACE. Kentucky has saved its reputation from disgrace and curse of mob violence by the fearlessness, bravery and high-tone christian manhood of its governor, who respected, loved and defended the great arm of the law. Lynching was diverted. The same could and would be done in other states if the right kind of men were at the head of the state governments. GOOD ROADS The building of good roads vitally concerns every tax payer whether he be small or large and here is hardly a man living to lay, who, if he believes in prosperity, progress and progressiveness that does not favor good roads. Vote for the bond issue. Why should any man be sore over the results of the recent election? Didn't you do your duty? If so why complain? No one man had an absolute hold nor claim on all the people. Every man had a right to his own will reign and the exercise of his own political preferment, and if any man voted for Bill, Dick, Tom or Harry, he ought to be man enough, even if his conscience dictates otherwise, to look the world in the face and tell the other fellow to go. Yet if a Republican voted the Democratic ticket he is compelled to feel load and vice versa. The putting in of a fire plug near the Times office by the authority of the city officials was the timely piece of work and in the event fire should break out in this section we guarantee there will be much property saved and a loss by fire will be greatly diverted. Such insight into the protection of people's property by the council is in every way commendable. SENATOR HAWLEY In the Senate this week in Charleston, Senator W. P. Hawley of Bluefield offered a bill known as Senate Bill No. 119 to authorize the county court of Mercer county to borrow money from the fund set apart as a sinking fund to pay off the bond issue of Mercer county which amounts to about $50,000, to be used for the building, completing and finishing up the roads that have already been started and the putting on the finishing touches so this county may have as good roads as are to be found in any other county of the state. This measure was at once put in the hands of the finance committee. COOPERS We are sorry to say that Mr. Robert Thompson is confined to his bed. We hope him a speedy recovery.

In fact, it is stating a truth lightly when it is said they are hard students and when they take a man's case, you may depend upon it, they go to work; they give service, and if a man represented by them fails of acquittal it is because the man surely must be guilty.

As a liver stimulator, it's great. It's a perfect substitute for ordinary calomel (mercury); in fact, it's better, because its action is gentle instead of severe and irritating—and it leaves no mean, disagreeable after-effects. Physicians recognize this and prescribe may/apple root (podophyllin, they call it) daily. Combined with four other standard, all vegetable remedies, mayapple root may now be had at most any druggist's in convenient sugar-coated tablet form by asking for Seventh Laxatives.

THE GRAND PRIX ~ PAR LEGION OF HOCKEY INSTITUTION THE GRAND PRIX ESTILO THE WORLD'S LARGEST AND PRIX ~ PAR LEGION OF HONOURS AND PRICE STOLE ORGANIZATION In the Governor's second biennial message to the legislature of 1917, Dr. Hatfield, the people's friend, in speaking of the needs of the Negro, said, "There is no race of people that is more susceptible to tuberculosis than the colored race. They are not admitted to the State Sanitarium at Terra Alta. Some provision should be made to meet this situation. It is earnestly recommended that a sanitarium be established for this purpose and that appropriation be made of at least $15,000 each year for the next biennial period for the purpose of buying land and getting the institution started. The bill should provide that the site should be selected jointly by the Public Health Council and the State Board of Control." The above recommendation is the expression of a big heart calling attention to a long felt and crying need of a people that has suffered as no other people because of the lack of facilities and conveniences to protect against this great monster disease. It is very gratifying to note that all ready a bill has been introduced dealing with this great question. And it is almost a foregone conclusion that no member of our legislative body, whether he be Republican or Democrat, will oppose this measure. HONOR ROLL BRAMWELL HIGH SCHOOL FOURTH MONTH E. A.

Says Not to Reduce Southern Representation, but Federal Government Should Have Power to See all Men Are Permitted to Vote-No President or Congressman Elected by Votes Where Colored Disfranished Right to be Seated Says Mass. Senator in Portland Oregonlan. MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICAN THINKS REPUBLICAN PARTY AMISS Washington, Jan 25 — Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, is firm in his opinion that the Republican party should go before the people with the principles that have made the party great, that humanity and fairness to the Negro should not be discounted. In an interview given to the correspondent of the Portland Oregonian, he says that the reduction of representation in the south would not fulfill the directions of the Constitution. He holds that the Negro there has the perfect right to vote and that no President or member of Congress has the right to his seat if it is acquired by denying this class of citizen their privileges under the law. THE LODGE INTERVIEW. "I am afraid," said Senator Lodge, "that our party is more or less responsible for its own defeat by drawing us away from the foundation of humanity from which it started. This country hires its basis a general electorate, where it is proposed for the people, the majority of the people, to rule. There are qualifications of this electorate last done in unmistakable terms in the Constitution of the United States. "These terms have been violated in the Southern States. At first they did upon some pretense of legality and now they have thrown all of such pretense to the winds and announce that they are determined to deny the Negro the right that the Consultation gives him. OPERATES AGAINST WHITE NORTHERN VOTER "This determination works not only against the colored people, whose rights are abridged, but against the white voters of the North, whose votes are not a potent by one-third as the votes of the South, although we have more voters. As matt is now stand it takes three Northern votes to equal one Southern vote. This is not fair and can not stand. FEDERAL PROTECTION NEEDED "Nothing must be done, and I am not in favor of reducing the representation because by so doing we will do further injustice to the colored people. I believe that the federal government should have power to protect all of its citizens in the exercise of the franchise and I am in favor of meeting this condition squarely."—Boston Guardian North Tazewell Rev.
