PROPOLIS, ILLINOIS FRIDAY JANUARY 27, 1922 COL. YOUNG DIES IN WEST AFRICA Word has been received here of the death of Col, Charles Young, retired colored officer of the United States army and formerly of the famous Tenth Cavalry. Col Young died at Lagos, Nigeria, Africa, and was buried at that place on January 9. He was a graduate of West Point and about 51 years of age. A son and daughter attending school in Belgium, and a wife in New York City, survive him. Col Young, at the time of his death, was on active military duty as Military Attaché to Liberia, with headquarters at Monrovia. During the Spanish-American war he was commander of the 9th Ohio separate battalion. He was also military attache to Hati and subsequently served a term as military advisor to the Liberia government. He was retired in 1917 at the time the United States was in war with Germany. This caused a storm of protest throughout the country. Col. Young was one of the best known and most efficient of the colored officers in the army Opposition Against Anti Lynching Bill Growing In The House Democrats Aided in Fight on Measure by Republicans Who Questions Constitutionality. Washington, Jan. 18.—House Democrats were aided yesterday in their fight against the Dyer anti-lynching bill by Representative R-avis, Republican, Nebraska, who declared it was evident that some members of Congress sworn to uphold the Constitution were ready to "ravish" it. He urged defeat of the bill, asserting its passage would be an unconstitutional usurpation of power by the Federal Government. All afternoon the bill, carrying heavy penalties for persons participating in lynchings and for officials who fail through negligence to prevent them, was alternately commended and attacked. Representative Burton, Republican of Ohio, declaring that lynching was the darkest blot on an otherwise splendid civilization, asserted there was only one crime to which it could be compared—cannibalism. After Representative Sanders, Republican of Indiana, had declared there was no question as to the authority of Congress to deal with the question, Representative Montague, Democrat, of Virginia, attacked the bill on constitutional grounds. Later Representative Dallinger, Republican, of Mresachussetts, advocated enactment of a drastic an t'-lynching bill, said he could not understand why members of Congress, so sure that the Supreme Court would immediately declare the Dyer measure, if enacted, unconstitutional, were waging such a determined fight against it.

COLORED MAN DOING LIKE WHITE PEOPLE Charged With Getting Away With Fifty-Six Thousand Dollars In Stock and Bonds Leslie Spillman, a Colored man who was arrested in Louisville, last Lord's Day by officers Patrolmen McDowen and Shone of the Fifth District, and United States P Office Inspector, W. E Greenway on a charge of having stolen a registered mail sack containing stocks, bonds and securities valued at $56,000 from a mail car in yards of the the Tenth street depot on February 25, 1921, was presented before United States Commissioner J. A. Craft last Tuesday where he pleaded not guilty and requested a preliminary hearing through attorney James Edward. His bond was placed at $1,000 and the date of trial set for Jan. 20.—Ex. A Colored Woman Wins Against Jim Grow Cars. Little Rock, Ark. Jan. 17—Mrs. Virginia D. Sutton, Colored of Chicago, was given judgment for $50 by a jury in Third Division Circuit Court a few days ago in a suit for compensatory damages, brought against the Missouri Pa ific Railroad. According to the testimony, the woman bought a ticket to Little Rock and boarded the train at Jacksonville, Fla. She alleged that the conductor required her to ride in the Negro smoking a car as the Negro passenger coach was filled and that when she refused to do so, the train was stopped and she was put off. The original suit was for $3 000. There is some comment among the residents here as this is the first case where a colored person has won a suit in this section against jimcrow car methods. Wilson's Administration Kept Southern Democrats Out of War In the course of the debate on the Newbery case, Senator George H. Moses, of New Hampshire, made the charge that officials of the Wilson administration reduced the census estimates of the population of Democratic states and increased that of Republican states with the result that more men were drafted for the World-war in proportion to population in the Republican than in the Democratic states. Senator Caraway, of Arkansas emphatically denied this assertion and challenged Senator Moses, to produce "proof." Whereupon Senator Moses introduced into the Congressional Record a table of official statistics showing that the census estimates of population in 1917 were increased in 14 Northern and Western states 5,970,693 for draft purposes, while estimates of the population population of 14 Southern states were reduced 3,716 703. The increases made in the 14 Northern and Western states constituted 96 per cent of 1922 "RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTETH A NATION, BUT SIN IS A REPROACH TO ANY PEOPLE" Antilynch Bill Before the House The southern democrats, stand unalterably opposed to it just as they do, everything that comes before the house by the Republicans. The bill was partially thrashed out last week and will no doubt come up again this week. The anti-lynch bill is a great eye sore to the democrats, of the South. Not because the bill is sectional, or political, but because they fear that it will interfere with them riding into office upon the backs of a howling mob. The bill is what may be called a law and order bill, well applied to all parts of the country. If the bill should be amended so as to strike out or amend it in a way that it will not apply to the Negro the 14 hour discussion will drop down 13 hours and 45 minutes Dr. Wriley, a prominent figure in the Southern Baptist Convention, said in an address, before the National Baptist Convention in Atlanta, Ga, 1917, among other thing; Brethren, what you have to undergo. I know it is hard, but Brethren, there will be a new South. The better class of the white people are looking to that end. The power must be wrenched from the grasp of the low class whites and demagogues of the South, and be turned to a christian Statesmanship. He also said another thing too, and that was this. "A meeting was called in a prominent city of both men and women, to discuss the Negro proposition. I felt that the women would be in our way, but it was just the reverse. We men, appeared to be in way. They took the initiative, and said among many other good things, the rape story was a disgrace upon the women of the south, and in many instances, was a creation of the low white trash, and political demagogues of the South." Dr Wriley, said another good thing too, which is true. "That where one man commits a crime, and is taken out and mobbed by five hundred then instead of one criminal, there were 500." He said, I know it is pretty strong, that is the way the law books put it." There was some powerful speeches made last week in support of the bill. Congtessman Madden, commonly known as Billy Madden, of Illinois, put off the signal gun. Congressman Yates, stepped out on the firing lines too, and our Congressman Thos. S. Williams, of the 24th District, is there to stand by the "stuff." Congressman E. E. Dennison of 25th District, was on the scene when the roll was called, "buckled and shield for the battle." Congressman Burton of Ohio, is also standing with sword in hand, armed with powerful eloquent words that cut to the core. Mr. Goodycontz, of West Va., is certainly being felt before the house with a storm of fiery eloquence too hot for the other side to endure. The democrats are taking refuge behind the doctrine of State all the increases made above the estimates willie the decreases in the 14 Southern states contributed 71 per cent of all the decreases made. Under Influence of Speeches Being Made in Opposition to Anti-Lynching Bill, Desire For Negro's Blood at Home Takes on a New Life While congress still dilly-Dallys over the passage of the anti-lynching bill which is being held up by the southern representatives, the lovers of the sport (lynching, continues to endulge in their popular pastime. The speeches made by those southerners in the House advocating and defending lynching have reflected its influence on the white people at home, and the desire for Negro blood has taken on new life. According to press di-patches a mob of several thousand participants in a lynching at Mayo. Fla, on Jan. 18 The charge of rape did not enter this case. It is said that one, Will Harris, celored, shot and mor ally wounded one W. R Taylor, a mail carrier, who it is alleged went to Hrrris' house on Saturday night in quest of "white mule" and when Harris refused to furnish the liquor a quarrel ensued and during the altercation Taylor was shot Harris fled and after Hiding around for a few days, he gave himself up to the sheriff and claimed self-defense and asked the sheriff for protection that he might have a trial and a chance to defend himself before the law. On a pretext of hiding his prisoner from the mob, the sheriff kept Will Harris away from the county jail until a mob had been organized and everything ready for the "turn over." He then brought his prisoner from the hiding place and turned him over to the mob of several hundred, HOLIDAY GALA AFFAIR The news of the capture of the victim spread quickly throughout the community and a general holiday was taken in celebrating the lynching so as many as possible could take part. When once in the hands of the mob the victim was dragged through the streets and hanged to Continued on Page two. rights, and ignoring the virtues of the Negro, and magnifying his faults. No race ignores the erimes of the shiftless and shameless Negro as much as the colored race, because the innocent are many times held responsible for the criminals. This is not true in a great measure of any other race. The doctrine of one's right to live when in the peace of the people, should tower above all human laws, because it is a God given right. It is indeed amazingly strange to hear as much said about State Rights, when the prohibition law, Inter-state and Man Act, and Pure Food laws so glaringly star them in the face. There is a wide spread demand throughout the country for Congress to pass the Antylynch bill. "Solus Populi Supreme Lex." "The Safety of the People is the Supreme Law."

Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrhag 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.

NEGRO APPOINTED A CIVIL SERVICE GOMMISSIONER OF NAW YORK Ferdinand Q. Morton Honred by Democratitic Mayor. is One of Board of Three Municipal Guardians ALDERMAN HARRIS HAS ALSO TAKEN HIS SEAT New York, N. Y., Jan 18. The biggest appointment of an able colored citizen that has ever been made by a New York mayor was that of Ferdinand Q. Morton, to be a civil service commissioner of New York City. The appointment was a partial recognition of the tremendous black vote which Mr. Morton as chief of the United States Colored Democracy had led into Tammany Hall at the last election and secondly by a deserved recognition of one of the most able and popular democrats regardless of race in New York city. The appointment of Morton was to the place on the commission of the three guardians of the civil service held by Commissioner Killica. The commission now consist of Commissioners Kablan, Morton and Dremnan, the last named a Republican. His appointment means a great step forward for the colored citizens of New York, and a larger place for the colored citizen in the city employe It is generally believed that Morton would have been named a magistrate to succeed Judge Mancuso but the alternative was given him after another was named as the commission portfolio Mr. Morton was born in Mississippi in 1882 and moved with his family at an early age to Washington where he attended and graduated from the public and high schools. He entered Harvard College after graduation and later finished Boston University Law school. He came to New York and entered actively in the practice of law and plunged into politics. His rise has been meteoric and deserved. It is not known as to who will be given Mr. Morton's place in the District Attorney's office but it is rumored that Attorney James McClerden will be given one of --- "HERE ARE THE this deputy assistants, Alderman George W.

"An end must be put to this, absurd legend of the inferiority of the black races. It is based solely on the traditions of slavery and is not at all flattering to the white races." So declares Gen. Mangin, whose utterance is the most authoritative of those who have taken up advocacy of the causes of the blacks, following the winning the Gonecourt literary prize by the Matingue writer Rene Maran. Mangin is the great champion of the black army theory, holding that only by training and arming her colonial subjects can France redress the balance in face of more populous Germany. Their fighting value, he proved in the war, for "Manger" Mangin's colonial army was always in the thick of the French offensives. An end to freedom has come in Russia. No more free newspaper, no more free books. Sovietism has abandoned its system of "no rents, no rates, no taxes." The people must go back to the slavery of paying for what they want. Thus Bolshevism loses its lure — Toledo Blade. White Man is Father of His Grandchildren Is Sentenced to 30 Years After His Four Daughters Accuse Him of Being the Father of Their Children. Paltimore, Jan. 17.—William Lowery, 50 years old, of Rosslyn, Md., faced Judge Frank I. Duncan in the Towson Court, and, without flinching heard himself sentenced to 30 years in the penitentiary. Lowry was arrested last week after numerous reports had been made to the Baltimore county authorities that in the little Roslyn farm house all was not well. After a careful investigation, Lowry was accused of having improper relations with three of his daughters, Edna, Mable and Ethel Lowry all over 18 years old. Neighbors of the Lowry family testified that Lowry's intellect seemed undeveloped and that he lacked a sense of moral responsibility. Although the testimony was taken in secret, it was learned that Lowry was convicted of being the father of four children by his daughters Rebel All That Count Who asks whether the enemy were defeated by strategy or by valor?

A pathetic story of a Maori father comes from the pen of Mr. Rex Hunter, who was born and grew up among them. In Asl, he writes: When I went riding, Korn, who did odd jobs round the place and who rode a pony that he called Polo, came along as a sort of attendant. But his attitude was different from that of an English groom; instead of dubbing me "Mr." or "Sir," he always called me by my first name. While I was sojourning in the South seas, during an absence from New Zealand, a letter from my sister informed me of Koru's death. He had contracted smallpox. In replying I referred to Maeterilnck's contention that the dead are never actually dead so long as the living remember them. In simple words my sister told that part of my letter to Ben, the father of the dead boy, and the thought seemed to impress him deeply. In her next letter my sister wrote: "Yesterday I went with Ben to put flowers on Korn's grave. Ben talked as if the boy could hear him. He said, 'Well, Korn, here we are come to see you. We no forget you. You no dead while we remember you. Korn, Polo, the pony, is all right and wonder where you are. Every little while we come to see you.' And then as we left he said, 'Goo-ih, Korn. You no dead while we remember.'"—Youth's Companion. MOST VALUABLE OF CEMENTS Artificial Product Known as Portland is Highly Esteemed as a Building Material. Portland cement is considered by far the most important of the stone cements. It is an artificial product, named from its resemblance to Portland stone. This stone is a freestone quarried in the Isle of Portland (a peninsula supposed to have been formerly an island), in the county of Dorset, England. The stone hardens upon exposure to the air, remarks an exchange. In the manufacture of Portland cement by the wet process, three parts of white chalk are mixed with one part of clay. The two substances, along with the water, are placed in a "wash mill," in which cutters reduce the whole to a creamy "slurry." The slurry then passes into reservoirs. There it is allowed to settle for some weeks, when the superfinous water is removed by decantation. The mixture is next dried on heated iron plates and then burned to kilns. Finally it is ground to a fine powder. Portland cement is manufactured by the dry process from hard limestones. These limestones are crushed small, mixed in the proper proportions with clay, then roughly burned and ground to powder. Since Portland cement is hardly ever employed pure, its strength is perhaps best tested when it is mixed with an equal weight of sand. Precious Soct. By recovering gold and other precious metals from the sooty deposit scraped from the chimney of an assayer's factory, a profit of about 500 per cent is made on the cost of cleaning. To this factory manufacturing jewelers send their refuse and sweepings to have the small fragments of gold and platinum which are lost in working extracted. In the process scraps of the valuable refuse are carried off in the smoke and fumes and deposited with the soot on the inside of the chimney and the minute particles of gold and platinum are carefully sorted out from the soot. Even the clothes of the steepejacks are retained for the sake of the precious grine on them. The value of the metal recovered is enough to pay six times over 400¢ the work involved, including the cost of new clothes for the men engaged—Brooklyn Eagle. To Take Bruises Out of Furniture. Oftentimes in moving furniture it gets bruised, leaving a dent or small hole. This dent or bruise can be easily raised to the surface again by wetting the part with warm water; double a piece of brown paper five or six times, soak it in warm water, and lay it on the place; apply on that a warm, but not hot, flatiron, fill the moisture is evaporated. If the bruise be not gone, repeat the process. After two or three applications the dent or bruise will be raised to the surface. If the bruise be small, merely soak it with warm water, and hold a redhot iron near the surface keeping the surface continually wet; the bruise wilt soon disappear. Give Child Exercise. The importance of thermonous development as promoted by outdoor exercise, for the welfare of the nervous system of the growing child, has been recognized by both physicians and laymen since the old Greek times. Correct postural attitudes, good respiratory and articulatory habits also have a conspicuous place in the educational methods against nervousness. This is true not only because of their esthetic value, but because they encourage greater self-respect, self-control and self-reliance. What Every Parent Knows.
