Metropolis Weekly Gazette

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE Honor100th Anniversary JOSEPH SMITH Prophet and First President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints IN 1920 a million "Mormons" throughout the world celebrated the centenary of "Joseph Smith's Vision," wherein he claimed that, in answer to prayer, the gospel of Christ was restored, in its fullness, to the earth. Joseph Smith was born December 23, 1805, at Sharon, Vermont. His grandfather, Asahel Smith, was a captain in the Massachusetts militia at the battle of Lexington, and all of his ancestors for scores of years had been identified with building of this country and the wrestling of it from the power of Britain. At the age of fifteen, the famous vision claimed by him was received. Later, the records of the "Book of Mormon," a history of America before the days of Columbus and which contains the prophecy that "no king shall ever rule on American soil" were given to the world. In 1830, the church was organized with six members. In 1844, after much persecution, Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were killed by a mob, inspired by "apostates," at Carthage, Illinois. The "Mormons" now own the beautiful Vermont farm on which he was born, and have erected a massive monument to his memory. They also Anti-Lynch Bill Seems In Danger Washington, D. C., ept. 20.—The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, if not beaten in an open vote by the senate, is more than likely t obe lost in an upper house pigeon hole. There is small chance of its being considered for a vote this session of Congress The national legislature will adjourn on the 23rd of September if the tentative plans of he bodies are carried out. This will preclude a consideration of the Dyer measure at this session. Leading colored political leaders have pleaded in vain with the leaders of senate concerning the passage of the measure. National representatives of Negro organizations have received the pledges of most of the big men in Congress that they favor the passage of the bill. Senator Lodge is among that number. Senator Johnson, of California prior to the California primaries, expressed his belief in it also. In fact, most of the prominent leaders on the Republican side of the senate have declared their intention to support the measure whenever it came up for a vote. Time alone will tell whether these avowals are mere "bunk" or not. Many prominent colored men affect to believe that if the bill is not passed at this session that good long night is in propect before it will be adopted for the national statutes. It is pointed out hat he Negro Press, through its national organization, has practically threatened to take off its coat and go right in for the defeat of every Republican statesman who shows a hand against the adoption of this bit of anti-lynching legislation. HYRUM SMITH Brother to Joseph Smith and First Patriarch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints own the farm at Palmyra, New York, where is the "sacred grove" where his prayer was offered, and the old jail property in Illinois where he was martyred. In practically every city in America and throughout the world, and in thousands of smaller cities there are "Mormon" churches. Millions of copies of the Book of Mormon have been printed in fifteen languages. To prove that Joseph Smith was a true prophet, his followers point to some thirty fulfilled prophesies, including those which predicted the Civil war and also the great world war. A few members of the faith, less than five per cent, in Utah's early days, practiced plural marriage, but in 1890 both the church and the state issued edicts against it. A few months ago, Frederie J. Haskin, Washington, D. C., acknowledged authority on American topics, visited Utah and, after a careful study of the situation, wrote: "Polygamy is a dead issue in Utah. The fires of prejudice that raged around it once have long since burned out. The 'Mormons' are no longer polygamous, but they are still industrious and prosperous, the best of neighbors and citizens." Republican Alibi The Senae's alibi is to be found in the following statement of a Senator who does not desire his name to be mentioned at this time. He says: "Republican leaders in the Senate have practically agreed not to bring up the eDyer Anti-Lynching Bill at this session of Congress because of the threat of Southern Democrats to conduct a prolonged filbuster against it. While the Dyer Bill was on the program, as agreed upon a short time ago by the Republican steering committee of the senate for action at this session, its elimination has betn found necessary by a consuming desire of the Republican leaders to adjourn Congress early so as to get out in hte fall campaign. So determined are the Democrat senators in their opposition that they have threatened to prevent any adjournment if the Dyer bill is passed." It is agreed on every hand that the anti-lynching bill is one of the most irritating pieces of legislation which has ever been before Congress. It was introduced in the house in keeping with a clause in the Republican platform. It passed the House after a spirited debate and has been kicked about the senate for some time. Dmocrat senators charge it is merely a bid for the colored votes of the country. It was reported to the Senate on July 28, by Senator Shortridge California acting chairman of the judiciary committee. Mrs. Learah Reed, and grandson Vernon Harmon, are visiting her daughter in St. Louis Mo. Ed Young, and Lacey Patterson left for Chicago, Wednesday looking for work. Albert Murray, returned rrom Champaign. Monday. MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." Wins A Case Against His White Neighbors According to a report of his attorneys, Martin and Jones, the controversy between Elmer J Carter and the so-called Kennerly Ave. Improvement Association where the latter sought to prevent Carter from moving into a flat purhased by him on Kennerly Ave. has been settled out of court The Association had filed a suit to enjoin Carter from moving into the flat on the ground that the block was restricted against Colored people, but when the attorney for the defendant filed their return in the matter the attorney for the plaintiffs saw he had no case and dismissed the case, and the keys have been turned over to the owner, Elmer J. Carter. The case attracted a deal of attention, and the victory on the part of Carter is regarded as a victory for the race, because many of the so called Protective Association have sprung up in different parts of the city.—St. Louis Argus.

I have long since learned that serving God is not so much talk and shouting, and kicking up a feging dust, and in this statement we do not condemn shouting and praising God, but this element in the Christian system comes after service has been rendered, not to God to the neglect and detriment of your fallen, brother but service, real service rendered to God's creatures. "As oft as ye did it unto the least of my little ones, Ye did it unto Me." Now my Brethren, if you will hold this project up before your people properly, they will respond. The paying the principle Debt on this Aged Ministers Home, without paying four or five Thousand Dollars interest, depends upon the leadership of our pastors. Then too my Brethren, the more you your flocks to see real service to God, in the service of His Creatures, the more God they will see in you, and the more God will give you of this worlds good thru them that see God in you. Try Him in giving your strength and influence to get your church to render some sacrificial service in paying for this Home. Now Brethren, start now, and send me your contribution for the fifth Sunday in October, you who think you cannot attend. Let every pastor outside of Chicago, send to my address 519 E. Howard St. Centralia, Illinois. The sum of Ten Dollars, while I am working with the pastors and churches in Chicago, to make our rally a success on the 5th Sunday afternoon Continued on page two Cont sum of eighteen Thousand ($18,000 Dollars, giving us ten years to pay that amount by paying the interest Semi annually at the rate of 7 per cent. The above is to inform the Brother and Sisterhood how imperative it is for us to be up and doing every day in the year, rather than just once a year at our annual session. Realizing this fact of necessity, our State Association elected the writer General Financial Agent of the Home to stir the Brother and Sisterhood of the Baptist Family of the State, and everybody else that I may be able to interest to help us put the project over the top. To this good Day I have wrought the best I could to carry out the behest of the Association. Persuing my obedience to the Association, I have put on a rally, yes, a Financial rally, to come off on the Fifth Sunday in October 1922, at the Morning Star Baptist church, Chicago, Illinois, at two o'clock p. m. of that day, Dr. G. W. Aiexander is the efficient pastor, and has kindly consented to let us have his house of worship and his congregation at that hour. And we are earnestly asking the Baptist Family of the State of Illinois, and especially the Baptist of Chicago and vicinity, to meet us there and lets put over a one Thousand ($1,000) Dollar program for God and humanity in the interest of our Aged Ministers' Home.

There is only one way to cure cartarrhai 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. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine, Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

Notice is hereby given by the manager of this paper, that beginning with August 1st there will be a charge on all matter sent here for publication except purely news. All papers, Obituaries, Programs, Resolutions, Essays, Sermons, Personal Write-ups, etc. There will be a charge of $1.00 for the above named for 15 lines and all articles containing more than 15 type lines 10c will be charged for every additional line. This does not apply to news of the churches. We are compelled to do this for financial protection. Our more than 23 years of experience in the newspaper world has taught us that we have been giving away hundaeds of dollrrrs annually paying for setting type for such things in which the general public is not interested in, and most of the time the persons writing are not subscribers and not interested in and have no Race pride or Race Loyalty, they make long and loud speeches to the galleries preach great sermons and write fine papers on patronizing Race enterprises and that is as far as it goes with them, as nine times out ten they give their job work what little they have, to other persons other than race papers and are withholding the support from the men who are fighting mob and lynch law and the many other inequalities and evils which contaminate the race fifty two weeks in the year, while these would be race lovers find excuses in giving their work to others claiming they are too high priced or the work is inferior to others, when at the same time these same papers that they refuse to let do theirs are doing work for Negroes who do not pose as Race leaders, and too these same race papers are doing job work for some of best business firms and individuals of the white race. The papers are great so long as they boost this class of individuals for naught and let him help the fellow who does not need his financial assistance. There seems too much racial jealousy and envy among the majority of our great leaders and that accounts for slow progress along race enterprises. Therefore we have taken the matter under careful advisement and have concluded to place a small charge on all matter except purely news. All Associational, Conventional matter we expect the officers of the Bodies to take care of in a more systematic way hereafter at quarterly and annual meeting. Our experience at the meetings in the past forces us to make this request. No one who believes in a just compensation for honest work will object to this requirement. Pay Your Subscription!

SYMBOL OF RUSSIAN TRAGEDY The Bourgeois, Popular Invention, Shows to What Depths the People Have Been Reduced, A bourgeotea fs a small sheet iron stove, writes Eleanor Franklin Egan In the Saturday Evening Post, Or it may be only a S-guilon gasoline ean with a little door at one end and a hole in the top to let out the smoke, It is an Institution in soviet Russia and is am Invention of the kind of which neces- sity Is the mother, In the communistic habitations of the ruined and homeless bourgeoisie it takes the place of both heating ar- rangements and the kitchen range, Nearly everybody makes his own bour- geoica out of whatever materials he may be able to come by, and in soelat circles It provides a tople of conversa- tion of never-ending interest. Their habits and the various methods em- ployed to regulate them are matters of primary importance. Its name, bestowed ‘upon it in iron- jeal derision, denotes its relationship to the general scheme of things, It burns nothing but tiny bits of wood and is therefore very economical, but when It is first set going it smokes considerably, wittethe result that prac- tleally every bourgeois home in Russia —such as it is—smelis a3 though its flues were badly out of order. It Is capable of bringing the average winter temperature in a fair-sized room up to zero, or maybe to 10 de grees above, and this is as much com. fort as the bourgevisie ure expected to require, This sounds like an exag- geration, but it is not. It would be im- possible to exaggerate any phase of the tragedy that has befallen Russia. eee TO GIVE UP HAREMS Financial Necessity Really the Mother of Any Turkish Reform in That Direction. ‘The word “harem,” for all its rich connotation, is now simply the name for the women's quarters in the Turk- ish home, Poverty in the palaces and out of them Is more responsible than western ideals for the changed condi- tion there. Education and the world movement for broadening the freedom of women have, of course, had their influence. The French novel also put a window of a kind in the Turkish harem, and many Turkish men are vigorously pro- testing the notions of freedom which they have put Into the heads of the But necessity, rising out of the long, protracted wars, is the reul mother ‘of freedom for Turkish women.

Fresh-laid eggs are frequently deposited on the contribution plate in some of the backwoods Episcopal churches of the South. Which goes to show that the spirit of giving hasn't changed so very much in the 100 years of the Church Missionary society just being rounded out. The first report of the society, dated May 30, 1823, was dug up the other day, and while it shows no contribution of eggs, a score of other articles of merchandise seem to have found their way to the plate from people who gave "according to their means." This report, for instance, shows that back in 1821 David Snethen gave a basket of groceries for the support of the missionaries; Stephen North contributed a medicine chest; William Royland, a cross-cut saw; Joe and John Needles, two sieves; S. Masy, a coffee mill. John and T. Claly contributed, alas! a singularly empty gift—a safe. John Burson came along with a tub, whether bath or wash is not stated. C. Buckley is credited on the books with "Deduction on hat," $1.50; John McAllister donated a thermometer. Among the other miscellanies are hymn books, slates, spades, shoes, trousers, chairs, soap, bridles and locks. Finally, from one Richard Markall there is a hogshead of tobacco, which encourages the hope that some good missionary of the church in his lonely station afar off enjoyed a comfortable smoke.—Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. MOURNS OVER "OLD TIMES" Elderly North Carolina Woman Thinka Present-Day People Behind Those of Her Generation. Bright and chipper, Mrs. Lou Thacker of Mount Airy, N. C., celebrated her one hundred and eleventh birthday here yesterday at the home of a granddaughter, Mrs. J. M. Edmundson, says a dispatch from Greensboro, N. C., to the New York World. She "worries" Mr. Edmundson because she insists on helping him feed his hogs and work in his garden, and wants Mrs. Edmundson to let her wash the dishes and "red up" the house. The day before her birthday she rode uptnown in an automobile. The old lady was born near Stoneville, in Rockingham county, N. C., August 20, 1811. Four years ago she injured her hip in a fall, and doctors told her she, would never walk again. She laughed at them and today is walking with the aid of a stick. The jazziness of the young today does not meet with her approval. "Folks ain't like they used to be," she said. "Seems like they haven't got as much religion." He. "Rang the Bell." A number of well-known newspaper men returning the other night from one of the summer resorts had just managed to get to the city when their engine commenced to slow down, relates the Washington Star. A hurried examination disclosed the fact that the gas tank was nearly empty. Two of them elected to venture forth in search of an all-night garage while the other two remained in the car. The searchers, after traversing many streets, finally came across a station on which was a sign "Open all night." No signs of life, however, were visible. Finally one of the scribes happened to notice a rope protruding through a window of the building in which were kept oils, greases, accessories, etc. Giving the rope a vigorous pull, he nearly yanked the custodian of the service station out of bed, the rope being attached to the caretender's foot—a rather new and novel way of ringing the door bell. Princess Elizabeth. Elizabeth, the second of the ill-fated daughters of the ill-fated Charles I, was born at St. James' palace in 1635. When she was six years old civil war broke but in England and the remaining nine years of her life were passed with strangers. She saw her father only a few times, the last being on the day before his execution. Charles took the child on his knee and gave her such advice as might be expected from a father about to die. A year and a half after his death she, too, at the age of fifteen, breathed her last. By some it was said Cromwell had decided to apprentice her to a buttonmaker, but historians deny this. It is known the protector provided amply for her during her short and unhappy lifetime. A monument was erected for her by Queen Victoria on the occasion of rebuilding the church at Newport, where she was buried.-Chicago Journal. Picric Acid for Farmers. Plastic for Farmers That the farmers of the country have not been slow to avail themselves of the opportunity to obtain a good agricultural explosive at a low cost is shown by the fact that In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922, 3,264. 700 pounds of plieric acid has been distributed by the bureau of public roads, United States Department of Agriculture.
