METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE ITALIAN AND JEW FAVOR NEGROE'S CAUSE NEGRO ATTORNEY GOES BLIND, AND SHOOTS SELF Lincoln Notes. We Sundayed in the city of Lincoln, and was the special guest of our nephew, Clarence Long and family. Saturday afternoon the city was filled with several thousand and sight secers who came from near-by towns and the country to see the train of four cars loaded with captured relics from the Huns and to witness the parade headed by a band of 22 pieces and to see the American War Tank which played such conspicious part in winning the war for "democracy" in the World's war. It required several hours for the vast throng to view the Souvenirs. We met our old friend Mrs. Mary Christburg, the widow of the late Rev. Chrisburg, who at one time pastored the St. Paul A. M. E. Church of Metropolitan. We were pleasantly entertained at her home Saturday night. We also called at the home of Rev. Brasco pastor of the 2nd Baptist church, and enjoyed a pleasant chat with he and his companion, who is quite pleasant. We preached for him on Sunday both morning and night. The inclementy of the weather last ended the congregation somewhat. We left Monday at 2:30 p.m. for Springfield, with many pleasant compliments. The members of the 2nd Baptist Church had a very handsome pipe organ given recently by a wealthy white lady and it has just been installed. The pastor is looking to his rally on the 4th Sunday in May. Rev. H. A. Boyd, Assistant Sec'y. National Baptist S. S. Congress. The East Mt. Olive Baptist S. S.

Viviah Cross ITALIAN AND JEW FAVOR CAUSE OF NEORO PEOPLE Support Act Prohibiting Discrimination In Publis Places Against Colored People. An American Democrat of Italian descent ably championed the cause of the colored people at the House committee on judicary during the hearing on the Civil Rights bill, sc-called, who was fathered by an American of Jewish descent Phillip V. Jollin of this city. The act would amend the civil rights law so that discrimination because of race, color or creed would be punishable by fine. It was supported by many representatives of various colored men's and women's organizations who claim that, under the present statutes, they are being barred from dance halls, certain restaurants and other public places. Representative, Luigi De Fasquale, Deputy Floor Leader of the Democratic minority was the principal white supporter of the bill. William A. Heathman, an attorney, led the fight for its passage on behalf of the colored citizens of Providence. In his address to the committee Mr. De Pasquale said: "In the olden days when the tribes were suspicious of and hated one another, and lived in fear of each other, then this prejudice was as a protective inspiration to them; with the advance of civilization and of deeper knowledge and learning among the men of the 20th century, this radical prejudice should rapidly decrease, and especially in this age after the terrible conflict that has raged for the past four years where men of all nationalities, all creeds and of white and black color fought side by side in the great cause of justice. "When America entered the war she sought all classes and made no bar of color. Today when the colored soldiers have returned home, after they have done their share, they should be entitled to the full protection and should not be discriminated against because of their color. "To despise a man because of intellectual attainments and his character, simply because his face is black, is a crime against civilization. "It is unfair to say that certain people should live in certain localities not because they have violated any law, human or divine, but simply because they are different in complexion than others. "The question is a very vital one; Similar laws have been passed in New York and in Massachusetts and Rhode Island would not be remiss if she followed the footsteps of her sister States. "The colored people in their efforts to rise from slavery and in their attempt to cope" with their fellowmen were met everywhere with sarcasm and humiliation and they were denied that equal op- MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY."

He wishes to cut rate of Board over last year. This will be to your financial interest to write him. S. S. Didactics; What, When, and How to Teach. He must not expect the knowledge gained in his infancy to tide him over present emergencies. He must have some knowledge of Scientific Didactics not necessarily acquired under that name, but at any rate he must know his text, know his school and know his pupils. He must not thikp that students fail to know whether or not he is competent to teach for while older students often pity him, younger students always scorn a pedant and a bluff without mercy. He must also love his work. While it is commandable that some persons at tempt to to teach Sunday School from a sense of duty or because no one else is easily available, a school organization made up of teachers in a milestone about the neck of many promising congregations, killing incentive and destroying bright hopes. Sunday School bodies should be organized with well established purposes in view. They should be tolerant. The blindness of Denominationalism should not obscure the highest purpose of Christian Society—the Redemption of Mankind. One chief cause of the discontent which keeps so many persons away from the S. S. is lack of proper organization. Often no stunted program is made and no order attempted. Each teacher is a law to himself. To receive this condition organization brings the the teachers together before the lessons are attempted and a method of teaching the given lesson is agreed upon. Then each teacher teaches the same general interchange of effort and research is made and each teacher grows by contact with the other; then each one in turn goes before his class the following Sunday morning refreshed and filled with a message for his pupils. If any difference of interpretation arise it should arise and be audited in teacher's meeting and not before the school. The B is not a denoting club. NEGRO ATTORNEY KILUS SELI. Learning that he was going blind McCants Stewart, a Negro attorney, scribbled a note of farewell and shot himself in the head, Monday night in his office at 381 Bush Street.

It is highly important that we should meet at this time to complete any unfinished business, arrange for the coming General Baptist State. Association, as well as keeping in tact our quarterly meetings. We are a great Baptist family and constitute the 2nd largest Baptist Association in the State numerically and with a little more loyalty and the spirit of Christian giving we do so easily. We have the people with the means and loyalty and the only hindrance is cooperation and a willingness on the part of the ministry is, for us to lead off in this line, tell the people what we want them to do and we will find a ready and responsive constituency. The great war is over and our army is returning home; the great plan of reconstruction is before us, with new fields opened up to us, and as Baptist we should be on the alert, and be prepared not only to send laborers into the great harvest fields but to send money to assist them in their evangelization of the teeming millions who must have the gospel as given, by Jesus Christ. Therefore we call your especial attention to the fact that you are requested to be present with delegate and your church, if you can't send a delegate and the amount of $2.00 from your church, allow us to urge upon you to send us $2.00 from your church and 500 from each deacon, and licentiate and $1.00 from each pastor and ordained minister, and 50 for each member. Said money for Missionaries, the poor church fund and the expense of the meeting. We must go over the "Top" at this meeting. Bretnern, the eyes of the world is upon Illinois, lay, down petty grievances, the love of filthy lucre. Let there not be one "Slacker" in our camp. Arise the emergency! Come prepared, to preach, shout, sing, pray and pay and our duty will have been performed. Let our Watchword be, On to Colp, with $100.00 in April. Illinois belongs to the Baptists, let us go up and take it. The pastor and his good people will be prepared to care for us as heretofore. Let us do our duty. If you have any suggestions for the good of the cause, write us. Yours in Him. J. B. McCrary, Mod 639 N. 2nd, St. Springfield, Ill. Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the disseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Cartarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrh Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine, Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J.

Olive Baptist Association and pastors, this notice comes to call your attention to an urgent call made through the columns of this paper, asking the churches to contribute ten (10.00) dollars to help pay off, the remaining indebtedness on our National Theological Training School located at Nashville, Ten. It appeared that the brethern did not understand the call. Since our Ex Board held at Marion last month I am sure you now understand. A resolvow was adopted that we make the Fifth Sunday in this month a District Rally day for Education, and that each church donate to that School $10.00; the amount to be sent to Rev. W. P. Washington, 1110 Casey, Ave., Mt. Vernon, Illinois. The meeting on the 5th Sunday in this month will bh held with the New Bethel Baptist church of Centralia. Rev. A. R. McKee, pastor. We are asking every church to send the amount mentioned above if you can, if not then send what you can and help make the rally a success. We are not expecting all the churches to be there in person, but we are asking every church to represent financially. Just send P. O. money order to W. P. Washington and your church will receive crdhit for same. Now, my dears, please give ear to this call and let us play our part in leaving this great educational plant to coming generations of our race as a denominational legacy. Not altogether that, they may call us blessed, but that they may be blessed after we have gone to our long sought Rest. I prayas as these lines are being heralded thru the district the pastors and clerches may be inspired to nobler efforts along educational lines and that our names may ring out at Norfolk, Va., with the other names of the noble helpers to make it possible for our race to have a School owned and controlled by the Negroes, not to be pulled up and displaced by our enemies, but a School that will be forever a beacon, teaching men, women and children to hold sacred the Principles and Doctines laid down by Jesus Christ and practiced by His Disciples with power to keep out heurcies and strange Doctrines without fear of being turned out of doors.

The General Missionary Baptist State Association will meet with the New Hope Baptist church, Dr. Henry W. Snowden, pastor. A great meeting is expected, and as that is true, the ministers and messengers are to determine what the meeting will be. The Baptist Brotherhood thru-out the State is expected to join in this mighty work to push forward and extend the kingdom of the Master. Brethern of Southern Illinois as well ```markdown ``` as Northern, East and West are waking up, getting up, and moving up alonl mission and educational lines. It must be borne in mind that in the organization of the association that all ministers are o contribute one dollar during the annual session. This important matter was overlooked last year until the close of the meeting. The Association has staged 3 important propositions viz: Missions, education, the, Aged Ministers Home and their wives. The Baptist women of the State appears to be in the ascendency of the aged ministers home proposition. They are bringing things to pass too. The advantages this year to attend the Springfield meeting perhaps will be much better than they were last year in Chicago. The Brethern played their part well in the Chicago meeting last year. Brethern let us arise and be doing. It is the proud hope of the Moderator Dr. J. F. Thomas that the Baptist put in their appearance from the four quarters of the State. Let us have a spark from the Brethern every week until the assn. meets in Springfield. THE CALL. The fifth annual session of the General Missionary Baptist State Association and the Educational and Missionary Association, auxiliary will meeting in Springfield, Ill., with the New Hope Baptist Unfrch, Eld. W. Henry Snowden Pastor, May 20-26, 1919. We request that every W. E. & M., Society and District convention within our jurisdiction send a representative from the association. Our hope for the future depends upon the efforts we put forth to make the world better. I advise you to renew your vision, and press forward for a successful meeting. We must raise $100 00 for our for our old Ministers' Home and we pledged $100 00 to the support of our school in Nashville, Tenn., and $25 00 to our Foreign Mission Board.

See'y. calls attention to the fact, that the meeting will convene Tuesday before the 4th Lord's day in May, with the church of which Rev. Snowden is pastor. The Asociation was organized in Mt. Vernon, 1914. The first meeting was held in Centralta, May 1915. It has been taking on strength every since; this is due to the fact that the organization was not born out of prejudice but from a pure motive. We may first that great confusion characterized the meetings from time to time by reason of certain brethern whose name we will not call. It was their alien ideas that caused the regular Baptist to organize. In the Aurora Convention a certain minister said that the doctrine of Baptism and the Lord's Supper had served its day and the people were looking for something more in keeping with the age. This brother and several others were declared unsound in the faith and METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. SAVING TO STABILIZE BUSINESS OF COUNTRY SAVING TO STABILIZE BUSINESS OF COUNTRY American thrift will go far to save the life of the world, to bring liberty and to make the pursuit of happiness possible to oppressed humanity. Periodically in the United States there have come times of financial depression; production has exceeded consumption; factory doors have closed; workers have found themselves without money and the retailers who serve them have faced the gloomy alternative of refusing credit and going out of business because of lack of trade, or extending credit and going to smash because of lack of funds. The store closes its doors and immediately other stores, even those competing, feel the unwholesome influence. Panic spreads just as surely as when there is a run on a bank and failure stares many merchants in the face. Now the more thrifty the people of a community are the more promptly they pay their bills, and the more promptly bills are paid the more remote becomes the possibility of failure. If every worker is a systematic saver, with savings made possible by careful, intelligent buying and the elimination of waste, the hard time will be safely bridged and will be tremendously shortened. It is, therefore, good business for the retailer to join in a campaign against impulsive buying and waste. The mechanic who, in flush times, buys an unnecessarily elaborate article, and who, in hard times, repudiates his bills, is not as good a customer as the one who used restraint in his day of prosperity and had a margin for the rainy day. The former underlines business—the latter stabilizes it. The judicious, buyer who exercises care in his purchase also carefully and conscientiously meets his obligations. The man, who throws money away treats his bills as a "scrap of paper." Waste is an enemy of good business. In certain districts of New York investigators found that 11 per cent of the contents of the garbage cans was perfectly good foodstuff. The amount of usable material abandoned in this country every year amounts to millions. The farmer leaves the plow to trust away outside the barn all winter; the housewife overheats the house; the factory worker throws good material on the scrap heap, and all those things make it possible that in the United States today there are 1,250,000 people, whose working days are over, dependent upon charity, individual and county, to the extent of $220,000,000 a year, dependent because in their earning days they cultivated fibres of waste rather than those of thrift. Education in thrift must be an education in values. That education must extend past the workers of today to the workers of tomorrow. Hereafter more of a youth's precious school hours should be devoted to a consideration of the principles of how to live, how to take a helpful and progressive part in the problem of a workaday world. The biggest lack in this nation is a department which will teach the value of a dollar. The young man who in school received the proposed training in thrift will take account of the use of savings. Savings is worse than, useless in the hard-earned, decumulative are invested in some of the innumerable good jobs. Practitioner quick schemes which take millions of dollars out of our communities each year. The treasury department is confident that no sale and more attractive plan has been offered for the super-margement of small systematic investment than that of War Savings Stamps. If the investor can buy ashore but no account a week he has lay the means of putting that amount away in a safe security. If he cannot仕 inside four dollars and a few cents each week that amount begins working for him at a good fair of interest, which, with the principal, he will receive at the end of five years. Let the necessity of redemption arise through illness or hard times—he can have the ready cash ten days after he applies for it. In a certain great industrial plant where 90 per cent of the employees were regular buyers of theft shrimp the infanzia epidemic was met with the minimum of sufering. The men had the funds available for doctor and medicine and proper food. They met their bills promptly and did not embarrass the merchants of the community. It would be hard today to get any of these men to abandon the theft limit which the government has taught them. SAVE IN WAR ON WASTE Cardinal Gibbons for Savings. An appeal for continued support of the government's war savings campaign has been issued by Cardinal Gibbons. "We should welcome the opportunity afforded by our government," said the cardinal, "to continue the saving habit. To buy war savings is the clear duty of every American citizen, young and old. I urge all our clergy to promote this campaign by every means in their power. I urge our good people to give their heartiest support, and from the splendid evidences of their patriotism shows in the last two years I am confident that it will meet with great success." FRENCH KING FIRST IN FIELD While President Wilson, Lloyd George and other statesmen are talking of a league of nations the following, taken from Thomas Paine's "The Rights of Man," is historical: "It was attributed to Henry IV of France, a man of an enlarged and benevolent heart, that he purposed about 1610 a plan of abolishing war in Europe. The plan consisted in constructing an European congress, or, as French authors style it, a public republic; by appointing delegates from the several nations, who were to act as a court of arbitration in any disputes that might arise between nation and nation. "Hud, the plan been adopted at the time it was proposed the taxes of England and France, as two of the parties, would have been at least ten millle as sterling annually to each nation less than they were at the commencement of the French Revolution." Here is also part of a letter addressed to Lafayette from Paine, February 9, 1792: "If you make a campaign the ensuing spring, which is most probable there will be no occasion for; I will come and join you. Should the campaign commence, I hope it will terminate in the extinction of German despotism and establishing the freedom of all Germany. When France shall be surrounded with revolutions she will be in peace and safety and her taxes, as well as those of Germany, will consequently become less." LAWS PRINTED IN GERMAN How the State of Indiana Catered to the Teuton Element in the Fifties and Sixties. In 1852 the legislature enacted a statute that its laws passed at that session should be printed in German and one copy distributed to each of the clarks of the judicial circuits. By joint resolutions of the senate and house the session laws of the special session of 1859, the regular session of 1859, the regular session of 1861, the special session of 1861, and the regular session of 1867 were printed in the German language. The revised statutes of 1853 were ordered printed in German. Mrs. Edward Franklin White of the law editorial department of the Bobbies-Merrill company, believes the printing of the acts in German was no part of the propaganda for "kultur," which has been so exposed of late, but she rather believes that Indiana was making a special bid for settlement by Germans along with other foreigners who were westward bent. She says all sorts of inducements were held out in the fifties and sixties to attract colonization in Indiana and cites, as another of the inducements, the lax constitutional provisions (constitution of 1852) for obtaining citizenship, or at least the right to vote. Civilization Fatal to Eskimo. Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Arctic explorer, to whom the Charles P. Daly medal was presented by the American Geographical society for his "valuable contributions to science," pleaded that no efforts be made to civilize the Eskimo tribes of the far North. All such previous efforts, he stated, had resulted disastrously for the natives. One tribe of 5,000 discovered in 1825 by an English explorer, he said, was now reduced to only 40 persons through adoption of a civilized mode of living, which was unsuitable for the frigid climate. Vehicle Market in Slam. Owing to the lowlying and often imminated plains of southern Slam, in which most of the rice farming is done and in which road making is difficult, and also the fact that transportation is easily afforded by the numerous canals which traverse the country in every direction, there is not likely to be any extended demand for farm wagons or other vehicles for the use of the Slamese farmer. It seems, however, that considerable attention will be given to road making in Slam's principal cities, notably in Bangkok, and that therefore a line of municipal vehicles will be needed in the near future. Didn't Come Off. In the belief of a little church in France the Germans placed a bomb connected with wires to the monstrance on the altar. The idea was that when the monstrance was moved the resultant explosion would bring the church down upon the heads of the worshipers. Fortunately Marshal Foch's little paragraph in his armistice terms, to wit, that German commanders would be held personally responsible for all damage done by internal machines, prevented this characteristically Teuton performance from coming off. Rohrchester Post-Express. Rescued by Mother-in-Law. William Olive of Bridgewater, after putting a new roof on a dog house in his yard, was afraid the dog would get cut on the nails, sticking through, and crawled in to clench them on the inside. When he had finished the job he found that his coat was caught on a nail and he could not get out. He made all the noise he could, and finally, after a long while, his mother-in-law heard blues—Boston Globe.

Pressed glass was invented by an amble carpenter of Sandwich, Mass., but in the primitive state of affairs it profited him little. More than 200 years ago a Bohomian glassmaker conceived the idea of making cur glass. This idea was destined to revolutionize the entire glass industry of the world. The inventor began by making the walls of the article on which he was working shatter, then he was went on that he might cut the glass with a sharp knife into figures as he chose. Indian Summer. The term "Indian summer" is applied to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterised by a sort of dry mist or haziness that differentiates N from other seasons of the year. What causes the distinctive features of the season, especially the harsh atmosphere, is unknown, and the origin of the term equally so. Different explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely facultative. [Name] McGraw GEO. L. Office 901 Pearl St. You Must Pay Your Subscription In Advance If You Want The News.

MCCRARY FOOD SUPPLIES IN COMMON No Eskimo Allowed, to Go Hungry While His More Fortunate Brothers Have Plenty. The arctic explorer, Dr. Donald B. MacMillan, who returned recently after four years spent in the arctic regions, has many interesting things to say about the domestie and social customs of the Eskimo. ALL property is owned in common, he tells us. When you enter a village you are not invited to come in. It is your right to enter and, if you are hungry, to help yourself to something to eat. If you happen to visit a house where a year hunter lives, he saves, "Nurket-turange (Nothing to eat)." He does not go hungry, however, because his neighbors have some, and he lives on his neighbors. Everything is divided up that way. If all the villagers are good hunters, their supplier last a long time, but if some are poor hunters, the clever fellow must share with them. An Ikkoian does not eat three meals a day and sleep at regular intervals. He cain when he is hungry, and sleeps when he is sleepy, and he puts it off as long as he can, so that he will enjoy it all the more. He will go around for six hours talking about how hungry he is, and then he will eat to work and eat all he can. It is the same way with sleeping. He will go without sleep for 48 hours, and when he cannot Keep his eyes open longer he turns in for a 24-hour snoppe.—Youth's Companion. London's Sea Gulf Visitors. London's winter visitors, the sea guille, have arrived particularly early this year. Never since the hard winter of 1895 first impaired them bid up the river, and into Battersea unknown regions of birds and power gardens, have the birds obliged to make their yearly cell to the Suffolk and Kensington gardens, flood pond. On the river, of course the guille, single or in flights, have been regular habitines for many years perhaps centuries. Feeding the guille from the bridges is a favorite occupation for many a Londoner, or rather it used to be, for now the feeding of birds is forbidden, on the ground of waste, by the defense of the realm regulations. The guille will have to shift for themselves this winter, and Londoners' reputation for hospitality will suffer accordingly in the bird world? -Christian Science Monitor. Beaten To It. "Germany, confessing her wickedness and protecting her repentance, reminds me of a usually fortune hunter," said the director of military aeronautics, General Kenly. "This fortune hunter was describing his pursuit of a Pittsburgh heiress. "In proposing,' said his listener, 'you ought to have told her, George, that you were unworthy of her.

THRIFT SCHOOL PLAN OUTLINED BY EXPERT Dr. Shailer Mathews Explains Scope and Purpose of Great U. S. Educational Move- ment for Saving. By DR. SHAILER MATHEWS. [Chairman of W. S. S. Educational Committee for Seventh District and Vice Director for Illinois.] Thrift will be taught in the schools of the states constituting the Seventh federal reserve district. The children of town will help prepare the Little Lessons in Thrift which are being written by Prof. Mary Campbell of the Iowa State Teachers' college, under the general direction of an educational committee of the district. Besides the chairman the educational committee consists of W. B. Larson, department of public instruction, Wisconsin; J. W. McNally, Detroit public schools, Michigan, and Mary Campbell, Iowa State Teachers' college. The little Lessons in Thrift appear fortuitously on printed sheets. The lessons are prepared for the different grades in the schools. They are illustrated and interesting. They teach savings as a philosophy of good citizenship, give problems of antithetic in terms of thrift stumps, chawing gum, candy and other things a child buys. It is a new field which in thus being opened up and the war savings organization is rendering a great service to the rising generation. Nor is it all mere theory. The teaching of the principles of thrift is combined with a sort of manual training in thrift, through the sale of War Savings Stamps in schools. Along with these Little Lessons in Thrift the educational committee furnishes the schools with pupils' thrift cards, on which the teacher keeps an account of the amount, however small, which the pupil brings to her for the purpose of buying stamps. This practice itself becomes educational, because the pupil gets introduced to simple bookkeeping and banking. These plans have received the heartiest cooperation of the school administration in the various states and cities. The parochial and private schools also are co-operating in the use of the material and plans prepared by the committee. The young men and women of the next generation will have a higher respect for thrift and a better understanding as to how to spend their money, for they will learn even in the primary grades that thrift is not miserliness but a way of spending money so as to make it for them. SAVE; HAVE A PERSONAL SHARE IN THE FUTURE BILLIONS FROM THE NICKELS Ever Step to Think of Vacant Sume That Can We Saved From Small Amounts? If every person in the United States saved a nickel in one day it would mean that at night the people would be just five million dollars richer. And then suppose the people kept this up for one month? It would mean that at the end of thirty days they would have saved one hundred and fifty million dollars. Why not keep it up for the rest of 1818? What would be the result? One billion five hundred million dollars. Sounds like a lot of work for one little nickel to do, doesn't it, yet there are scores of industries in the United States which are paying big dividends on the little nickels gathered day by day. This immense sum if invested in Wag, Savings Stamps would earn for the savers approximately sixty-four million dollars, in 1829—the work of "old man, interest," who never takes a den, off and who is, continuously on Phone 364 Proposed Constitution Of The Baptist Minister's Alliance.
