METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. GIVE NEGRO A FAIR CHANCE HARDING ASKS Pesident at Birmingham Pleads Social Equality Be Forgotton Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 26—President Harding pleaded for harmony between white and black with the question of social equality forgotten be both in a speech today at the city's semi-centennial celebration. He urged absolute equality for for both races in education, business and politics, particularly in education. The President and his party ar 9 30 a.m. and were given tremendous ovation by a large crowd. Twenty one guns boon el salute as he stepped from the train. Accompanying the President were Mrs. Harding, Senator Oscar Underwood, Secretry of Wr Weeks, Secretary of the Interior Fall and the President's aids. 67 Gi is on Committee The flower of Alabama beauty greeted the party, with sixty-seven girls representing the sixty-seven counties of the state drawn up as a reception committee. After his reception the President was driven to the Tuwller hotel for a few minutes' rest before taking his place in a civic parade. The President moved with the parade until it reached the Southern Club, where he took his place in the reviewing stand. "Men of both race may well stand uncompromisingly against every suggestion of social equality. It would be helpful to have that word 'equally' elicited; or have it accepted on both sides that this is a question of recognizing a fundamental, eternal and inescapable difference. We shall have made real progress when we recognize this difference. Take first the political aspect, I would say let the black man vote when he is fit to vote, prohibit the white man voting when he is unfit to vote. Appeal to Negro. Especially would I appeal the self-respect of the colored race to improve its if as a distinct race, with a hered ty, a set of traditions an array of aspirations all his own. Out of such racial ambition and pride will come natural segregations, without narrowing any rights, satisfying natural inclination, and adding notably to happiness and contentment. "I would insist upon equal educational opportunity for both. This does not mean that become equally educated. "Men of the same race do not accomplish such an equality as that Mey never will. "The Providence that endowed men widely unequal capacities and capabilities and energies did not intend any such thing. But there must be such education that the colored people will understand and sympathize with the differentiation between the races and develop leaders who will inspire race pride national pride, and participation in the universal effort for advancement of humanity as a whole. Racial amalgamation there cannot be Partnership the of races, in developing the highest ai as of humanity, there must be if humanity is to achieve the ends set for it. "I can say to you people of the South, both white and black, that the time has passed when you can assume this problem is your problem. "More and more it is becoming a problem of the North; and more more it is the problem of Africa, of South America, of the Pacific, of the South Seas, of the world. "It is the problem of democracy everywhere, if we mean the things we say about democracy. "Coming from many origins of race, tradition, language, color, institutions and heredity and engaged in the huge effort to work an honorable national destiny from so many different elements, the one thing we must sedulously avoid is group and class organizations in this county. Frowns on Class "We have heard too much about the labor vote, the business vote, the Irish vote, the Italian vote, Scandinavian vote and so on, "But demagogues who would array class against class have fortunately found little to reward their efforts. That is because the idea of our oneness as Americans has risen superior to every appeal to mere class and group. "And so I wish it might be in this matter of our national problem of races. "I would accept that a black man cannot be a white man, and that he does not need to be like a white man to accomplish the best in him. "He should seek to, and should be encouraged to be, the best possible black man, and not the best possible imitation of a white man. "It is a matter of keenest national concern that the South shall not make its colored population a vast reservoir of ignorance, to be drained away by migration into all other sections. "That has been going on in recent years at a rate so accentuated that it has caused this question of races to be no longer one of a particular section. "I do not wish the South and to be politically of one party, I believe that it is bad for the South and for the rest of the country as well. I do not want the colored people to entirely of one party. "I wish that both the tradition of of a solidly Democratic South and the tradition of a solidly Republican black race might be broken up "Neither political sectionalism, nor any system of rigid groupings of the people will in the long run prosper our country. "I want to see the time come when black men will regard themselves as full participants in the benefits and duties of American citizenship; when they will vote for Democratic candidates. If they prefer the Democratic policy on tariff or taxation, or foreign relations, or what not; and when they will vote the Republican ticket only for like reasons. "We cannot go on, as have for more than a half century, with section of our population numbering as many people as the entire tire population of some significant countries of Europe, set off from real contribution to the solving of national issues, because of a dison race lines.

To the members composing the Executive Board of the Mt. Olive Baptist S. S. Convention.

The time and place will be announced later. J. W. Corneal, Dist. Pres. 424 N. Sycamore. Pastor of St. John Baptist Church, Mounds, and Treasurer of Mt. Olive Baptist Association of Southern Illinois The Way We See It The address of President Haring, delivered on Oct. 29, at Birmingham, Ala., and ranks as a masterpiece of logic and sound advice. It was a clear cut address made of whole cloth and a yard wide. He spoke from the fullness of his heart, without mincing or juggling with words or meaningless sentences or playing to the galleries on the Race question. His words were so timely and filled with bristles as to cause a number of Southern Senators to put up the cry of Negro domination and what not. He clearly defined his position his position on the Race question and it was the most manly stand taken by any president since the days of President Grant, to our way of thinking. Every Negro should read the address carefully and preve it f r fu ure reference, because it is worth its weight in gold and should be kept for the perusal of unborn generations. The Negroes need to take fresh courage and endeavor to bring out the very best that is in them. President Harding, is the only Baptist ever elected to the presidential chair and we have a reason to feel proud of him. Let the Statesmen, the Governor the politicians get busy in helping to carry out urgent request of President Harding.

Springfield, Ill., Oct. 31.-More t an 1801 miles of road paving have been awarded since Illinois began its program of highway construction, according to figures just made available by highway officials. Of this, 1539 miles, or 82 per cent of the mileage under contract have been completed. The mileage awarded under Gov. Small was 435. Nearly all the federal and state aid highways under contract have been completed, according to the report. Completed federal aid roads amount to 618 miles, while the finished mileage built by state aid is 403 miles. In addition to these roads are 450 miles of high way built by counties. Until recently Illinois has devoted its road-building to the construction of federal and state aid roads. Only sixty-seven miles of the bond issue system have been completed, al though nearly 350 miles are under contract. The state has exhausted all federal funds appropriated for road building in Illinois. The state aid system has been dropped. Gov. Small's future road-building program calls for work on the bond-issue routes, which cover 4800 miles. Metropolis Gazette PUBLISHED ON FRIDAY BY THE GAZETTE PRINTING CO. METROPOLIS. . . . . . . ILL.

Announcements We are authorized to announce the name of Ed Cockrel, of Grant Precinct as a candidate for County Commissioner of Massac County, snbject to the action of the voters at the Republican Primary election Wednesday Septem- 14, 1921. Attorney General Brundage no doubt thought if he could put Gov. Small, out of the running that he would have a clear sail to the governor's chair. But "believe me, he will not have a look in." Gov. Small, holds the key to the situation. Senator w. A. Spence, will be a candidate to succeed himselm in the 51st Senatorial district. There is some talk of several aspirants for his Senatorial toga, from the information we now have Hon. (Corn Bread) Elwood Barker, of McLeansboro, says that he would like to have the honor of defeating the Senator, but we predict that it will be harder this time to defeat the Senator than it was four years ago when Senator Spence defeated Mr. Barker in every county in the district except his own and came in an ance of defeating him in his own county. The people of the 51st district have tried Senator Spence, out and he was not found wanting. He was a busy man, always at his post, working not only for his own district but unselfishly for the good of, the entire State. He championed the cause of Education and secured splendid results in the way of legislation for for the teachers and poor school districts of Southern Illinois. Senator Spence, ranked as one of the leading Senators and was styled an honest and conscientious member of the law making body, and every one had the highest respect for him and his stand on every proprosition that he championed. No doubt he will succeed himself without any opposition as he deserves to do, as it usually requires from two to three terms to become acquainted with the requirements of district and how to secure sound legislation.

Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrhaj deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes 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.

Spence, was in in the city Monday and preached the funeral of a friend. Rev. Thos.

Residents of the Illinois Valley are clamoring for for action towards building the Illinois waterway. In a letter to Gov. Small the Ottaway Chamber of Commerce urged that the work be taken up rapidly. Pay Your Subscriptions Natives of New Guinea Cannot Be Reasoned Out of Custom Established Long Ago. Far in the mountain fastnesses of New Guinea our party came upon a little huddle of fins that appeared deserted, writes Temple Manning in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Experience had taught us caution, so we waited until my impatience led me to advance with one of our bearers. Instantly an amazing jibing happened. From the nearest, but three natives emerged, crawling on their hands and knees, stopping every few feet to knock their heads upon the ground. I soon discovered the reason. I was the first white man they had ever seen. For days they would not permit us to leave. At last, when we blistered on parting, six of them joined our party to accompany us to the coast. Everything went smoothly until one of them fell into a stream and was drowned. His tribesmen approached us threateningly; they held us responsible for the man's death. They wailed and demanded payment. We offered them armlets, colored dishes and cloths, but they would not be appeased. They wanted a life for a life. As quickly as we could we made the nearest coast settlement, embarked upon a "prau" and went back to civilization. Later I learned that, after the invariable custom of their race, the dead man's brother hung about the coast until he had killed a white man. His brother's death was avenged— a trader had paid the price. INTUITION MORE THAN HUNCH Consequently, as Lady Writer Says, It Must Never Miscarry, but There Have Been Instances. "I have discussed the matter with a celebrated doctor of medicine (who believes that genius is caused by microbes), and he ascribes intuition to an atavistic endowment. He somewhat inconsistently mentions Eve and Ann Whitfield in the same sentence by way of epigram. After going to all this trouble he was quite insulted when I hinted he was trying to explain the existence of something that did not exist. Yet I will bet all I have in my pockets that the dear doctor has never once in his life allowed a female nurse's intuition to tell him where to die for an appendix. "Hell hath no fury like a woman whose intention hath slipped a cog. A popular journal recently had the temerity to challenge the idol in a joke column: Two women are talking. One says: 'I hear that Mrs. Titherington-Blobbs has eloped with Major Snow.' The other replies: 'How disgusting. I thought it would be Colonel Swish.' What, pray, disgusted the lady but the miscarriage of her intuition? "Intuition, if it existed, would never miscarry; otherwise it would be a mere hunch, such as a man may receive. If woman's hunches were infallible the gift would have been capitalized long ago. Throgmorton street mocks the wrecks of men who have tried to capitalize their wives' intuitions."—Boston Herald. "Mothercraft." "Mothercraft, a movement for better preparation of girls for motherhood, has within the last five years made remarkable progress in this and other countries," writes Marlon Chase Baker, in the Survey. "Starting in Massachusetts as a definite standardized course of study for girls and young women, it has in one form or another been adopted in most of the states, in the dominion of Canada under the auspices of the Victorian Order of Nurses, and to some extent in several other foreign countries. State and national branches of the Federated Women's clubs have taken the initiative in promoting mothercraft. It has also had support from parent-teacher associations, Red Cross workers, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, Americanization centers and playground associations." Why Men Hate Shops "Of course," said the floorwalker in the big department store somewhat apologetically to the clerk at the stocking counter. "I suppose it's talking against my own sex, but you can't tell me men are more efficient than women, at least not in the stores. "When a man comes in here he never thinks of coming to me and asking where he can find the desired article. Instead he roams all around the store, asks salesgirls who aren't supposed to know the different departments and gets mad generally because he doesn't get what he wants in a hurry. That's one of the reasons why men hate to shop. They don't use their heads at all."—New York Sun. Tin Hats on Peace Footing. There are no swords to be turned in to plowshares in modern warfare, but on many a field the famous tin hat of the American soldier is now doing sentry duty to scare away feathered marauders, the New York Sun states. The tin hat is playing its part as gallantly in the arena of agriculture as in that war. Perched upon a wooden pole around which an old coat has been draped, it helps to create a rather formidable figure of a warrior and in some instances, when the coat is an old army tunic, the motionless figure when seen from a train window or fast motorcar seems like a ghost from the fields of France. Government Operates Good Railway System Throughout Main Island— Fare, 2 Cents a Mile. Travel in Japan has long ceased to be what Kaempfer described. It two centuries ago when the backs of men or horses bore the traveler and his belongings along the railways. All along the sea front the stenners ply; narrow roads penetrate most parts of the interior, and Japan now has a good railway system throughout the main island, with shorter lines in the three other large islands. One of the transforming agencies has been the jinkishaw—properly called "Kuruma" which is used throughout the empire and has forced good roads. This big baby carriage tukes only about three and a half feet of space, weighs as little as 25 pounds and will carry a load of 250 pounds. The railways, now taken over by the government, are rather of the European than the American type. They are built with great care and solidity, the shapes exactly shaped and grassed, the short bridges of stone, the longer ones of iron. The stations are at present in about the same condition as those in America forty years ago; but the government has under construction a splendid central terminal in Tokyo. Trains run very slowly; even the expresses make under 30 miles an hour, but atone for it by remarkably low fares—about 2 cents a mile for first-class and a third as much for third-class. The cars resemble those of Switzerland, always with connection through the train, but the first and second-class coaches are more or less subdivided into coupes and staterooms. From Asia. MARINES PUZZLE NEW YORK Queer Uniforms on Brazilian "Leath-ernecke" Perplex Experts of the Metropolis. Something with which even the war didn't familiarize the observant American public, or at least the people of New York city, was the Brazilian marine. Despite all the varied types of uniforms seen about Times square and notwithstanding the fact that there were many "sharks" able to tell immediately just what the uniform stood for, the recent appearance of the marines of the Brazilian battle-ship Minas Geraes at the New York navy yard was a setback to many experts. The Brazilian marine—and there are only a few of them, inasmuch as Brazil has but one large battleship—is dressed in a most unique uniform. It is a combination of chanfeur's leggings, a Scotch Highlander's bonnet with the streamers, and a blouse of red, fashioned like that of a mounted policeman, and black trousers. The summer dress used aboard the battleship is the same style, but in white drill cloth. Even the dwellers about Sands street and Flushing avenue, who have seen the dress of every navy in the world, were rather trim looking, dark hued men, who rarely left the navy yard, but could be seen inside the gates. Occasionally one would walk around the yard a bit, but they were not seen out and along the streets frequently. They finally discovered that these were the "leathernecks" of Brazil—New York Sun. Sharkskin "Shoe Leather." Recent tests of sharkskin uppers for shoes by the United States bureau of standards were made in a way both ingenious and practical. Pairs were made to order, with one upper of kid and the other upper of shark leather, and those were worn by employees of the bureau. It was found that the shark leather were better and longer than the kid. It has the special advantage of being waterproof. It is officially announced that shark blades yield leather of high quality, suitable for many purposes and attractive for traveling bags, brief cases, desk sets and the like. When the value of the livers for "cod liver" oil and the availability of the flesh as a meal for feeding animals are taken into consideration, it seems obvious that there is an important future ahead of shark fishery. "Simply a Wreck." Marshall, although at the half-way post between five and six years, still spends a part of each afternoon in sleeping. On infrequent occasions, when something out of the ordinary warrants, he is permitted to pass by the afternoon naps provided he consents to being put to bed early in the evening. Recently he enjoyed one of these afternoon holidays of wakefulness. Near the dinner hour he broke one of the rules of conduct and was promptly taken to task by his father. Thereupon, in all seriousness, Marshall explained his case with this: "You know, daddy. I'm simply a wreck when I don't take my afternoon nap." Take Motors to Dinner. A new type of open-air restaurant which has parking room inside the restaurant property for the cars of the patrons is becoming popular in California. Pergolas, built convenient to the roadway and thatched to keep off the hot California sunshine, serve as the dining room, and caterers bring the food ordered to the sheltered car. Another type of dining room where the car is invited is characterized by a long thatched patio. It is open on one side, and the owner can drive his car to a point convenient to his table and watch it during his meal.—Popular Mechanics Magazine.

McCrary. St. Olive Baptist and Pastor of St Church, wishes all of members of the inversions. No trait of a girl's character is more prized than a sweet and happy disposition. It makes the home life bright, it smooths away the little coughnesses, and it is like a ray of sunshine that brightens the darkest corners and drives away discontent and glum. The happy girl makes the happy and contented wife, who will bring her girlhood's endearing qualities to make fresh sunshine in her new home.—Home Notes. A Crime Self-Punished.

Notice Sisters, and I must say Brethren of the East Mt. Olive Baptist Family. As-State Missionary of Women's auxiliary, I am thankful that God it's spared our lives to start on another year. Let us as women do more this year, for the cause of Christ, than we did last year. Sisters, do you not stop and think? Oh yes, women were the first to behold the forsaken grave as Christ arose out of the tomb. If Jesus when on earth loved Mary and Martha so tenderly and sought often peace and repose in their home enjoying daily their sympathy, love and companionship? Does He not now desire and seek the Mary's of today who break their alabaster boxes of love and pour the precious ointment on the heads of the sick and sorrowing and suffering of the earth, and thereby fill the entire world with the fragrance of christianity? Christian women, let us go, and as we go, let us cry One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism. God bless the work, E. M. LONG, State Missionary 519 E. Howard St., Centralia, Ill.

Money Long in Use Hindus for centuries have used new honey as a laxative and old honey as an astringent. Aborigines of Persia offered honey to the sun. Greeks still mix it with milk of water and use it as a libation to the dead. In one section of India milk and honey are handed to all bridegrooms as they arrive at the door of the bride's father, and in ancient Egypt honey was long a chief ingredient of embalming fluid.

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 hardiness that differentiates it from other seasons of the year. What causes the distinctive features of the season, especially the heavy atmosphere, is unknown, and the origin of the term equally so.
