METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETE The Pilgrims and the Pioneers JOHN CARVER, leader of the Pilgrims; later Governor, dedicating the land to the cause of religious liberty and free institutions. BY J. FRANK PICKERING "Ays, call it holy ground, The soil where first they trod! They have left unstained what there they found— Freedom to worship God!" PERHAPS no state in the Union welcomed and celebrated more heartily the Pilgrim's Tercentenary than Utah, unless it be Massachusetts, the home of the Pilgrims, and the celebration committee of that state honored Utah by selecting a pageant written by one of her fair daughters, entitled "A portrayal of Anglo-Saxon fortitude in fighting for the common weal." Perhaps only the people of Massachusetts can point with greater pride to the Pilgrim fathers than can the Utah people, many thousands of whom are their real blood descendants and other thousands of whom are descended from the Quakers. Their forefathers had helped Oliver Cromwell establish law and society in England. The Great "Mormon" Tabernacle Org The Great "Mormon" Tabernacle Organ und Volunteer Choir of 400 Voices. A Wonder of America Organ Built in Pioneer Days Has no Rival Referring to the popularity of the great stadium concerts in America's metropolis, one of which was attended by 9,000 people, and the demand for high-class, serious music, the New York Herald gives the "Mormon" Tabernacle organ at Salt Lake City creed, for having stimulated a demand among other churches for improved organ construction. Under the caption, "The Wonders of America," T. T. Maxey writes of "The Great Organ of the Mormons." "Music and song have long played a prominent part in the expression of religion. The Latterday Saints are no exception to the rules. President Brigham Young believed it impossible to preach the gospel without good music. "In the early fifties plans were laid for the building of a suitable organ for their great tabernaile in Salt Lake City. The forests of the state were Negro to be Appointed by President . . Harding. Some encouragement has been expressed among the colored people BRIGHAM YOUNG, leader of the Pioneers, later Governor, taking possession of East Western desert in the name of civic and religious liberty, "here shall the Temple of our Lord be built!" Their fathers had fought and suffered in those wars that had firmly established our independence and, true to their instincts, they lost their feelings of sectionalism and isolation when they reached the Great Salt Lake valley, raised the Stars and Stripes on Mexican soil, and gave their allegiance first and always to the government of the United States. The most prominent family names in the state are the same as those attached to the "Mayflower Compact." And the same thrift, intelligence, sincerity and common sense which characterized the Pilgrims were fundamental qualities of the Utah pioneers. Both developed a society of brotherhood and equality and a love for civil and religious liberty. And the descendants of the Poneers consider the civilization of today—the liberties and free institutions which we enjoy—the very hopes and aspirations that lead to higher and nobler endeavor, as a priceless inheritance direct from the Pilgrim fathers. an und Volunteer Choir of 400 Voices. searched for the most satisfactory woods. Proper tools had to be devised and made. Glue had to be obtained. There were no railroads in Utah in those days. The problem was not an easy one. It developed that the best wood grew three hundred mills or more south of the city. It was hauled the entire distance, over rough roads and through the wilderness by ox teams. Glue was made by boiling strips of owhide over fire-pots. About one hundred men were employed. Some of the immense pipes of the great instrument were 32 feet long. But music was what they wanted and have it they did. The organ is said to be the sweetest-toned and the largest, save one, in the world. "The original organ has been rebuilt and enlarged until it now has seven divisions, the main organ being 60 feet wide, 26 feet deep and 55 feet high, having over 7,000 pipes. The mechanism is electrically driven, nearly two thousands magnets being employed in the control of the vast tonal resources of the instrument. "It hasn't a rival in America. It's music is beyond description. You must hear it for yourself." generally over the report that President Harding has made up his mind to appoint Walter L. Cohen of New Orleans as Naval Officer of the Port of New Orleans. The duties of the office will be somewhat like those of "auditor" having many assistants as subordinates. The appointment of Mr. Cohen is expected to be made within a few days, is as much as it is understood that he has the unqualified backing of Attorney General Dougherty and Chairman Adams of the Republican National Committee. Little or no opposition will be made against Mr. Cohen, as the Negroes seem to be united in the approval of his appointment. Negro Judge In Ohio Washington C. H., Ohio, Aug. 29. —Hon. John T. Oatneal, of Washington C. H., Ohio, enjoys distinction France Loses Brilliant Negro General Paris, France, Aug. 30.—France has just lost through death at the age of 84 in this city one of the most brilliant generals, a mulatto native of Senegal son of a French colonial official of English parentage of the name of Dooks, and a coal-black colored woman.

Citizens Break Up A Ku Klux Klan Meeting At Pittsburg, Pa. Preston News Service. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 30.—Armed with shotguns, clubs and brooms men and women late Friday night routed a score of members of the Ku Klux Klan who were going thru the initiation ceremonies of the klan in Olympia park, Duquense Heights. Four automobiles, containing members of the klan drove to the park shortly after 11 p. m. and after doning their robes, erected a cross and ignited it. As the cross burned the klan formed a circle around it, and started their ceremonies of initiation. Residents seeing the reflection of the burning cross in the sky rushed to the park armed with guns, clubs and brooms and within five minutes hundreds of men ad women swarmed into the park. The klansmen discovering that trouble was imminent, removed their robess and jumped into the waiting automobiles and sped away. The enraged men and women torde down the cross and destroyed it when departing klansmen left a packet of 100 newspapers printed in Georgia purporting to show the strength and work the klan is performing. The papers were burned by the angry citizens. No Mail Deliveries After Dec.26 to Homes Without Receptacles Postoffice Department Issues Order Affecting Dwelling Houses.

Durnig his brief stop here Mr. Wiel "talked insurance". He was quite enthusiastic over the success of the Liberty Life. He called attention to the fact that during the first year of actual operation, the company had written more than one million and seven hundred thousand dollars worth of business. "This is a record" he said, of which very few if any life insurance companies can boast. At the first anniversary, which was celebrated at the company's headquarters in Chicago, over two hundred agents and employees were present. In a recent sixty day drive, put on by the company J. M. Weil was credited with having written the largest amount of paid business. Efforts will be made during the twelve-months to double the first year's business.

Wild stories were told as to the cause of the lynching-burning but no one seemed to know just who was the cause. So frr as could be learned Barrow was a stranger in the community and had been employed on a farm. He was followed to the little "berg" by his then former boss who told some of the neighbors that the Negro had attacked a white woman. As is usually the case, no efforts were made to ascertain who the woman was or what was meant by an "attack". It is generally believed now that it was a fake charge against the Negro because he dared to leave the plantation without the consent of employer, who knowing the sentiment against the Negra, was attempting to regain his help.

"Every Colored man woman in the United States ought to make it their primary business to see that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill H. B. 13, is passed by the Senate. Six human beings, all of them Colored people, were burned at the state in the United States during the fifteen days in the month of May, 1922.

"This boasted progress of ours is mere illusion," grimly said old Festus Pester. "Corruption permeates our entire social fabric. Selfishness has supplanted generosity. The process of disintegration is going on at an alarming rate. Our sole god has come to be money. Vice is tolerated, and we make obesience by hypocrisy. Patriotism has disappeared. Waste and idleness abound. Humanity is decaying at heart. Criminality, moral oblivity, class hatred, the destruction of the family sentiment, pessimism and skepticism are evident on every side; and so on and so forth. "In fact, I would mention that a crisis is at hand, and also that it is a pretty kettle of fish, if I did not recall that my venerable grandfather held practically the same opinion of the world and his fellow men at his stage of the game and there are still in existence letters, written by his grandfather wherein is set forth a like estimate of the folks and affairs of his day, and there is a tradition to the effect that his ancestors felt the same way about their own times and associates. And very likely I might run for office on the strength of the awful condition of everything if I hadn't always been fairly respectable and reasonably able to earn an honest living"—Kansas City Star. KNEW MUCH OF SANITATION Explorer Points Out Error in Classing People of Old Times as Absolutely Barbarian. During a protracted stay in Arabia and other parts of the Near East, Col. W. G. Archer of Evansville, Ind. master plumber and field agent of the National Association of Master Plumbers, made a study of ancient sanitation equipment. He returned to the United States only a few months ago and was in this city recently, says a San Antonio correspondent. "We prate of our great civilization and we discount the ancients, because we know next to nothing of their methods or their custons," Colonel Archer said. "I found bathtubs made of onyx in Babylon and evidence of tubs made of metal and various other kinds of stone. They are identical with those of to-day, with the same openings for letting water in and for letting it out. The Babylonians had sanitation, plumbing and bath facilities practically as we have them today. "I know a number of Englishmen who are 'digging' in the ruins of the island of Crete, and I recently received pictures of vitrified bathtubs and toilet fixtures that they have unearthed there." Traces of Old Civilization. Five miles from Dartford, England, on the old Dover road the modern road-makers are making great discoveries. Just ahead of them is a Roman camp. Under their feet are traces of Celtic, even earlier, civilization. The biggest find so far has been the skeleton of a woman, six feet three inches in height, crouched with hands clasped in a praying attitude. Clearly not a Roman burial, for the pose is Celtic and there was no trace of a coffin. The skeleton lay where the body was placed, in a hole cut in the solid chalk. The road markers are keeping careful watch for more of these "finds." Already they have accumulated portions of a Roman tesselated pavement, some characteristic ornaments of the period, and other signs that the area covered by the camp is being approached. Many Visit Forests. Value of the national forests for recreation is increasing by leaps and bounds. Six million people visit the forests annually to camp, fish, hunt, bike, motor or rest, from all parts of the United States, says the American Forestry Magazine. Recreational use of these forests represents possibly less than 1 per cent of their total potential use. The rapid increase in the number of people deriving pleasure from the forests is due in large part to their recreational development by the forest service. Over a thousand campgrounds have been set apart and posted and recreational permits have been issued for over 6,000 summer homes, cabins, hotels and club houses. Sure He Will Find Treasure. An Irish farmer risked his all on a field of two acres near Mullinger, which, in the ordinary way, would have brought about $200. After brisk bidding he paid $2,000 for it. The farmer who has become the new owner expended his life's savings on its acquisition. He declares his intention of digging over the whole acreage in search of treasure. Some time ago a box was dig up in the field, and was found to contain some Spanish gold coins and a map, believed to indicate the hiding place of more treasure in the field. They Heard Him. Brother had the habit of asking for something to eat whenever he happened to be at a neighbor's house, so his mother told him he must never do such a thing again. The next time he returned from a visit to the neighbor's she asked him if he had begged for anything to eat. "No," he said, "I was just talking to myself about how hungry I was, and they heard me."
