LYNCHING IS CALLLED A COWARDLY CRIME Passage of the Dyer Bill is Recommended Majority Report From Judiciary Committee Says Appeal To Wipe Out "Barbaric Stain" Have Gone For Naught And Lynching Contiues. Record Shows 3224 Victims of Mob Law. Washington, Nov. 1 — Widely conflicting views on the anti-lynching bill, now before Congress were presented to the House yesterday in majority and minority reports from the Judiciary committee. The bill, introduced by Representative Dyer, Republican, of Missouri, would undertake to wipe out lynching by heavy penalties to be imposed on persons participating and officers charged with enforcing the peace. Counties in which persons are put to death by mobs also would be subjected to heavy fines in the Federal Court. Citing the demand in the platform adopted by the last Republican National Convention to end lynching, plea of President Harding in an address to Congress, 'to wipe out this barbaric stain,' and the appeal of President Wilson, in 1918, to citizens to help stop mob MERMET, ILL Please allow us space in your paper to say that we are engaged in a revival here and have 3 converts and several seekers at the bench. Pray for it to go on in the Lord's name. We will continue the meeting this week. law, the majority report, prepared preplaced by Congressman Liveri, declared that "these and similar appeals have gone for naught and lynchings continue." Called Cowardly Crime "Congress must provide the means for ending this cowardly crime," the report continued. "It is in punishing those who take part in it, or who permit it. "The prevalence in many states of the spirit which tolerates lynching, as compounded too often with inhuman cruelty and the inability or unwillingness of the public authorities to punish the persons guilty of this crime, threaten very seriously the future peace of the nation. Lynching blots our fair name as a nation for we cannot claim to be civilized until our laws are respected and enforced and our citizens secured against the hideous cruelties of which we are constantly furnishing fresh examples." The report added that while it had been impossible to get accurate figures available records showed 3224 persons had been lynched in the last 30 years, of which number 2522 were Negroes Minority Report The minority report, presented by Representative Summers, Democrat, Texas, opposed the bill and contended it would tend to destroy the sense of local responsibility without adding to protection of pe CLIFFORD.

What's in the Armistice Grusade For Equal Rights Inauguration of Second Colored Democracy Congress at Doors of Disarmament Meeting Boston, Mass., Oct. 31—The National Headquarters of the National Equal Rights League, Rev. M. A. N Shaw, president at 34 Cornhill, has issued the following bulletin and appeal. "The widespread dissemination of the Call of the National Equal Rights League, Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, president, for a National Equal Rights Armistice Day Observance, on Nov. 11 or the following Sunday, Nov. 13, by the Leading Colored newspapers of the country has aroused great interest in the movement and many such equal Rights Observances are being planned. As these meetings serve the object of justice in a double way, first by calling attention to the violation of the cause for which our soldier boys gave thier lives and second by inaugurating a movement to send delegates to the Second World Democracy Congress of the League at Washington, Dec. 14-16, at the doors of the World Disarmament Conference, it is very desirable that all the meetings be united in one grand co-operative whole. To this end, in accord with the call issued, the League asks that everybody join with the local Equal Rights League in holding the meeting where there is one or that a local league be formed for the purpose or an equal rights committee. Otherwise let the mass meeting or meetings be held by any other organizations, or any church, or societies who will thus help the race. In all cases the chairman or secretary is asked to send a note of what was done to the Corresponding Secretary of the League, W. Monroe T. Otter, 34 Cornhill. Mass meetings which are to be part of this Equal Rights movement for a National Race Convention at the doors of this 2nd World Peace Conference, from which our delegates cannot be kept this time by the denial of pass ports, can be arranged on brief notice because the race is interested in this Arms Conference. A quick, strong, earnest Get-to-gather will greatly help the race. A month will then remain for World Democracy Congress called and arranging to send delegates to this conducted by the League from local league, Equal Rights Committees, of any other race body, Credentials from any race body will entitle to full participation in the Congress.

Sing on! Things will come your way. Sitting down and whining never helps a bit. Best way to get there is by keeping up your grit. Don't give up hoping when the ship goes down. Grab a spar or something—just refuse to drown. Don't think you're dying just because you're hit. Smile in face of danger and hang on to your grit. Folks die too easy—they sort of fade away; Make a little error and give up in dismay. Kind of man that's needed is the man with ready wit. To laugh at pain and trouble and keep his grit. Labor Union Endorses Anti-Lynching Bill United Automobile, Aircraft And Vehicle Workers Of America Back Dyer. New York, Nov. 2.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colord People, makes public the text of a letter da ed Oct 20, from the United Automobile, Aircraft and Vehicle Workers of America endorsing the Dyer Anti-Lynching Law. In accordance with policy and belief that Law and Order should abide and believing that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill will help prevent atrosities to the human race, the General Executive Board of the United Automobile, Aircraft and Vehicle Workers of America at its regular October meeting adopted the following: That the General Executive M. Board go on record as favoring the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, and copies of our action be sent to Senators, Congressmen, Federated press and National Society for the Advancement of Colored People. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced its gratification at the recognition by this workers' union of its share in advancing the Dyer Bill. THE OTHER SIDE. We go our way in life too much alone. We hold ourselves too far from all our kind; Too often we are dead to sigh and moan, Too often to the weak and helpless blind; Too often where distress and want abide. We turn and pass upon the other side. It should be ours the oil and wine to pour Into the bleeding wounds of strict ones, To take the smitten and the sick and sore, And bear them where a stream of blessings runs; Instead we look about—the way is wide,— And so we pass upon the "other side." O friend and brothers gliding down the years, Humanity is calling each and all In tender accents, born of grief and tears! I pray you listen to the thrilling call! You cannot in your cold and selfish pride, Pass guilltle sly upon "the other side."

"PAGKED CARDS" The white politicians of Metropolis, and Massac County had the "cards packed" against the Negroes in the recent election held, but that was what we predicted from the beginning. The defeat of Capt. H. G. Burke, for county commissioner. The color line was injected into the race, the extent that the white vote was almost centered on Walbright, though there were three other splendid white men who had announced and thought they were in the race until after the vote was counted and were sadly disappointed when they found they too had been "tricked" by the wily politician, If they had played the game fairly and divided their vote as they usually do when there is no Negro on the ticket, Burke, would have been elected, and no one knew this better than the astute politicians who were in the frameup and played the game to a success. The much talked of "Democracy" was lost sight of, and the fellows who kept their "carcasses" at a safe distance when the Negroes were on the firing line, were their denouncing the Negroes because they dared to exercise their constitutional right for which we have paid so dearly as you, so well know. These same men will have their "mits" out next spring for an office for themselves or friends and the Negroes will be the first they will try to line up. Massac county is too largely one way for the Negroes to be politically considered, except to be used as tools by the "Lilly White Republicans." The Negro will be forced to organize for his own good and his seeing it now as never before. This was the best thing that could have happened at this time. It enables to know their strength in part, shows them the feelings of those whose as friends and prepares them for them for the coming primary. The Negroes will have to adopt the plan of the Chicago Tribune and Senator Sherman, "fuse" with other political parties and teach our enemies a wholesome lesson. It seemed to be the slogan in the recent election in other states. The Negro voiced for themselves and the "Lilly White Republicans and Democrats fought it out and you know the Democrats won.

ILLINGIS HAS MORE HUNTERS AND TRAPPERS THAN EVER Springfield, Ill -There are more hunters, and trappers in Illinois today than there have ever been before, and due to activity of deputy game wardens there are more of them licensed according to the new State Chief Game Warden, William J. Stratton. Licenses issued hunters in the year ending June 30 numbered 220,977 and trappers' licenses 13,462 Mr. Stratton said. Effectiveness of game wardens is shown by the great increases in licenses. One county had 300 licensed hunters one year, and was without a game warden. The next year a game warden was given them, and immediately the number jumped to 1700 hunters. Next to hunting without licenses one of the most common mistakes of hunters is to hunt out of season, Game Warden Stratton says. Besides licenses to hunters and trappers, permits were issued other classes as follows: Seine (fishing), 328; nets (fishing), 5008; mussels and bars, 24 14; hook and line (nonresident), 8845; wholesale, 153; gill nets (fishing), 88, and permits under section 56 and 60, 919.

Read The Gazette HER AFTERNOON QUITE BUSY Violet Grace, However, Had Interval of Leisure, and Took Advantage of All of Them. Violet Grace dressed to go shopping. Last of all she powdered her nose. She went first to a certain store, for it was having a safe, but she didn't see a bargain in the whole store, so she left. She paused a moment at the ribbon counter and powdered her nose. She stopped at the blouse shop. She simply had to have a blouse soon. But they had nothing that appealed to her, so after powdering her nose she went out. She visited ye baby shoppe to see if she could find a little gift for Camille's baby, but everything was so frightfully expensive that she decided to make something to give. She powdered her nose at the doorway. There was such a good mirror there. Feeling weary, she had a cup of chocolate and some wafers. The chocolate was not very hot and the whipped cream looked mussy. She resolved she would go somewhere else next time. Those tea shops deteriorated so after they had established a reputation. She powdered her nose before leaving the table. It was early to go home, so she thought she might as well see a picture. She was disappointed in it, however, and she went out before it was altogether finished. She powdered her nose again in the rest room. She boarded a street car for home. She wished she did not have to walk two blocks when she got off, but there was no help for it. She powdered her nose and alighted. The afternoon was over.—Katherine Negley, in Judge. WELL. IT LOOKED SUSPICIOUS But What Prohibition Officers Thought Was a "Still" Was Really Something Quite Different. State and federal prohibition officers were silent concerning a recent experience, when they swooped down on the shack of John Finn of Sherburne mountain to raid what was supposed to be a giant still. Finn, a Russian, was nowhere to be seen, but at the rear of his clearing was a rough, conical stone structure, about six feet high, its chinks filled with clay. Under it crackled a log fire, while from its top issued smoke and steam. One still-hunter pried open the small iron door, thrust a hand into the steam-filled interior and emitted a shriek. "A lalg!" he cried. "A human lalg! And it's alive." From the doorway emerged first the foot, next the "laig," and then body of John Finn, clad only in the muddy mantle of innocence. "What y' don't F" was fired at him. "Takin' a bath," he answered in broken English. Finn explained he had built himself a Russian bath, obtaining the steam by letting cold water drip on heated stones.—Rutland (Vt.) Dispatch in the New York World. May Get Treasure From Ocean. A ship's treasure buried for 139 years has now, it is thought, been located. Anyway, the East India company's ship Grosvenor, which founded off the coast of Pondoland, South Africa, in 1782, with $8,573,550 in specie, numerous gold and silver ingots, and precious stones, including an almost priceless parcel of emeralds on board, has now been located. The Grosvenor Bollion syndicate has been organized and survey work is already proceeding. The consulting engineer in the operation confirms the report that the ship, which is said to lie in from 18 to 25 feet of water only, is intact from keel to deck. A 90-foot tunnel from shore to ship is proposed. A large silver Spanish coin bearing a worn date that appears to be 1722, a lighter silver coin which appears to be Indian and a small gold piece on which an image may be fairly discerned have been obtained from persons living on the Pondoland coast, and are believed to have come from the sunken Grosvenor. Improvements in Palestine. Assistant Trade Commissioner Julian E. Gillespie, who has just completed a visit to Egypt, Syria, Palestine, and Sngrna, states that the government of Palestine has projected an enlargement of the ports of Jaffa and Haifa, the erection of a large waterpower plant sufficient to meet the needs of all Palestine, the irrigation of the Jordan valley, and the construction of a railroad from the Sea of Galilee directly enst to connect with the Bagdad railway. However, it is probable that only the port improvements at Jaffa will see accomplishments in the near future. This project is being urged by the orange growers and shippers of Jaffa.—Scientific American. Use for Surplus Water Supply. Use for Surplus Water Supply. Having a water supply far exceeding the requirement of its present population, the authorities of the small town of Port Alberni, B. C., decided to utilize this surplus for generating electricity for lighting purposes. The source of the water supply is a creek seven miles distant, with a head of 610 feet, and allowing for friction and all losses in transmission, there was an effective head at the power house of 553 feet, which at ordinary rates of efficiency made available a force of 120 horse power, being all that was required to generate enough current for lighting the town for some time to come.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. COULD LAUGH AT LANDLORDS Victoria to Los Angeles, and Some Citizens, Established Miniature City With Their Autos. One way to avoid high rents has been discovered by about three hundred tourists from the East and score or so of Los Angeles, says the Los Angeles Express. This method is: Living in their motorsports. There is a regular colony of man women and children who have turned cars into apartments in a parking concession just east of Lincoln park on the Albanyia boulevard. Here the motorists have their machines arranged in rows like streets, have clothes lines strung, cook stoves set up and are living as comfortably, it is safe to say, as many persons who pay $100 a month or so for accommodations in apartment houses. Many have equipped their cars so that they need only to pull down the front seat, drop the side curtains and roll themselves up in their blankets to be as snug as any person in a hotel, bedroom. Others have pitched tents and are sleeping on army cars. The new order was started by tourists arriving in Los Angeles from the East. The grove of eucalyptus trees looked good to persons who had so recently crossed the desert, so they stopped there on the edge of town and made the camp their home. Seeing how conveniently the visitors avoided high rents, many residents of Los Angeles took up the camp as a permanent address. In due time the United States government took cognizance of them and gave them rural free delivery. HAD MEMORANDA OF IT ALL Young Married Man Altogether Too Matter-of-Fact for the Ordinary Loving Bride. Young Mr. Marsh was a devoled husband, but both absent-minded and matter-of-fact. Therefore, Mrs. Marsh had trials that seemed to her real ones. "Richard, you are going away," she said, her eyes filled with tears, on the morning when Mr. Marsh started for New York, to be gone 48 hours. "Yes, I seem to be, my dear," admitted Mr. Marsh. "You will think of me while you are gone?" she begged. "Certainly I will. I will bear it in mind." And nothing could have been more obliging than his tone in saying this. "And you will be very, very careful of yourself, getting on and off the trains, and about your meals, Richard." "I will certainly see that all those matters are attended to at the proper time," and Mr. Marsh, hastily scribbling a note in regard to an important business matter he had almost forgotten, placed a loving arm round his wife. "I have memoranda for all these things you've mentioned, my dear," he said in a calm, reassuring tone. "You may be perfectly easy about them all." —Philadelphia Ledger. Travel in Central Brazil. Travelers' stories of attacks by spiders "a foot in diameter" are related in a letter from central Brazil. Last January three ex-officiers set out from England for the Amazon, and they have written to a friend telling of amazing experiences. The party had been attacked by tribes of Indians, but guns saved the travelers. They also had exciting encounters with different kinds of snakes, animals, and spiders. For a time in the swamp of the forest they had to live on monkeys, as their food was washed away. They are now living with a tribe of Indians who have never seen a white man. One of the party has been made a "medicine man," and visits his patients wearing beads and a necklet of teeth. The natives wear no clothing, only necklets, anklets and rings through the nose. Japanese Shrines. More than 70,000 Japanese residents of Tokyo called at the shrine of Eibisu, god of wealth, on the outskirts of Osaka, before noon on the Japanese New Year's day. They knocked on the walls of the shrine with wooden mallets and called upon the god to bring them riches during the coming year. All the gods of Japan probably receive more honour January 10 than any other day of the year, that being the first special god's day of the calendar. Eibisu is very popular in the Osaka district, the rich industrial section of the empire. In Tokyo, although he has several shrines, the Japanese place more faith in the power of Otori-jinsha to bring them fortune. Wheelbarrows for Flat Dwellers Storage room in the basement of woodshed of the backyard garden is generally at a premium, and to minimize the storage space required for the wheelbarrow a collapsible barrow has been designed. The wheel of the appliance is removable. Hinges are provided for the folding of the handlebars, legs and front against the bottom. The unit can then be easily carried about or stored in a small space.—Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Olive Baptist Family. As State Missionary of Women's auxiliary, I am thankful that God has 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.

Jersey and Guernsey cows give rich fat-producing milk, and for that reason their milk has been regarded as too rich for infants. It is still true that the milk of the Ayrshire and the Holstein is better suited to infants than the Jersey and Guernsey milk, but the cause is not the fat, as has been thought. The fact is that the casein of the Ayrshire and Holstein milk is decidedly more docoated and not so readily curdled in the stomach, so that it is the most easily digested Gren.
