THE NEW YORK TIMES Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, Sec., Treas. and Manager of the National Baptist Publishing Board Strikes at Race Prejudice New York, Nov. 29—The root of race prejudice lies in disliking those who are not like ourselves, said Dr. Felix Adler senior leader of the Society for Ethical Culture, Central Park West and West 64th St., in his Sunday morning address, analyzing the causes of "persistent race prejudice." "The law of supplementation, of the combination of difference is what society needs to learn," he continued. "The educated classes are beginning to learn it, but even there surprising instances of prejudice are found. The real solution lies in the realization that there is a measure of truth in every one's beliefs, whether or not they agree with your own. The habit of prejudging a man because of the faults of group to which he belongs is a bad one. Man is a man, and his continuity of outline must not be merged with his group. Pulls Off Big Rally Metropolis, Ill., Dec. 6, 1922. The Thankgiving Rally for St. Paul A M. E. Church was a great success, the greatest in the history of the church, and for the short length of time in which to work it eclipses any rally of the churches of our city. Five weeks ago the drive was launched for $500.00, with the membership of the church divided into five clubs under as many captains and the "night was on" Namely: No. 1. Izora Rodgers; 2. Geo. Donaldson; 3. Delta Ward; 4. Maggie Brooks; 5. Ella Crouse. Each club was required to raise $100.00. The one raising the largest amount over $150.00 was to be given a reception by the other four clubs. The clubs raising the smallest was to eat corn bread and molasses, served by MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." the other four clubs. The contest closed Sunday night with the following report: The small amount to make the $500 00 was taken up in a public collection. The church has taken on new energy under the present pastor Rev. Green Price. He is a splendid man and a strong leader, destined to put St. Paul in her former place in the District. The reception for the clubs was postponed until the pastor returns from home where he went to attend the funeral of his niece. Rev. Dr. Joshua Brockett, a veteran minister of Chicago, but known to many in Southern Illinois is in the city and county this week to again to tell the Negroes how to vote on the Constitution that is to be voted on Dec. 12th. We don't quite understand where the politicians get their information that the Negroes outside of Chicago, are all ignorant and fools and are not capable of casting their vote without necessity of sending Negroes from Chicago to teach us how to vote at every election and at the same time some of these curb stone politicians have no influence or standing in their own ward and precinct and yet they are sent down here in Southern Ill., at every National and State election to tell us how to vote, and at the same time their own wards and precincts have turned them down and vote as they see fit. We know we live in the country but at the same time we read the papers and are fairly well posted on the issues of the day. The white politicians and candidates will find the Negroes of Southern Illinois opposed to this practice in 1924 unless they are willing to take some of the intelligent men and women of Southern and Central Illinois and give them equal recognition with our northern brother and sister not only just before and at the time of the election but afterwards when the servants are being rewarded for service rendered. Southern Negroes must be reconed with or there's going to be a great howl set up in the old camp. To the leaders of our people in Southern and Central Ill., call a meeting for January in some centrally located place that we may discuss our condition from every angle and proceed to organize for our mutual protection and get ready do battle against those who ignore us because of our color in the next campaign. Call it for Springfield, East St. Louis, Duquoin, Centralia or Carbondale. Pulaski Dear Editor Please allow us to say that our church is prospering nicely under the leadership of our pastor Rev. J.

Toronto Has a Tablet to the "Colored Boys Who Will Never Come Back" Toronto, Canada, Nov 29—On Armistice Day, as the great Cenotaph was being decorated with flowers, tablets and memorials were receiving similar decorations throughout the city. In a place of honor in the Hall of the Ontario Parliament Building, is a large tablet dedicated "To the Colored Boys who will never come Back." It too received its floral wreath. It recalled to memory the first Armistice Day when the tablet, which was purchased through the efforts of Mr. J. R. B. Whitney, was unveiled by Premier E. C. Drury, as hundreds of both races stood at attention. There was no ceremony this year, but many Torontonians made a pilgrimage to this sacred spot. Louisana Govenor Makes Federal Appeal on K. K. K. New Orleans, La. Nov. 29 —Gov. Parker and Attorney General Coco have laid before General Daugherty the recent activities of the Ku Klux Klan in this state. The Governor would not be quoted and his departure for Washington was known to only a few friends and a newspaper reporter, who quoted him as saying that he is alarmed at the activities of the Klan in Louisiana and intends to seek Federal aid and advice on how to suppress its activities. The Governor had recently been defied by the klan. He asked that it refrain from holding parades, but they were held. Virginia Lily Whites Concede Their Defeat. Bristol, Va., Nov. 29.—Lily White Republicaus of the Ninth District will not contest the election of George C. Perry, it was announced today following a meeting of political leaders with Congressman C. Bascom Slemp. Prior to the election Mr. Slemp gave notice that the election would be contested in the event Perry was elected charging fraud and irregularity in the campaign. Mr. Slemp refused to accept the nomination and John H. Hassinger was nominated and defeated, Perry's majority over Hassinger was 3,000. Negroes in the District voted for the Negro candidate to defeat Hassinger KLAN RAIDERS AMBUSHED Hot Springs, Ark., Nov. 29., their opposition to Negroes, O plus their morals regulation hobby more than they can chew.

Hot Springs, Ark., Nov. 29,—It would appear that what with their opposition to Negroes, Organized Labor and non-Christian, plus their morals regulation hobby, the Ku Klux Klan have bitten off more than they can chew. Yesterday, one Klansman was killed and two seriously wounded when five carloads of the sheeted knights ran into an ambush of frate farmers at Marble Tonwship, twenty miles north of here. The Klansmen were on a "law enforcing" foray. Similar raids had been conducted against other sections of the coun-. The embattled farmers taught them a thing or two about "law enforcement and the opinion is that a few more such lessons and the Klansmen will confine the use of their sheets to their beds. Hon. G. W.

According to records of the weather bureau, the lowest relative humidity is found in some parts of Arizona, although it is possible that certain sections of the desserts in southern California, where there are no recording stations, may show lower relative humidities than Arizona. A Poor Combination. A brief commencement story is told about the governor of Maine who, while addressing the students at Bowdoin college, said, "Your spacious campus with its beautiful garbage of green," etc. Evidently he started to say "garment," then switched off onto "herbage," but the combination that resulted was hardly a happy one.—Boston Transcript.

LOREN SMITH, Clerk of the Circuit Court. December 6th, A. D. 1922. MANY ARE ABSENT-MINDED Great Numbers of People Just as Aberrant as the Famous Professor of the Jokesmiths. The absent-minded professor, favorite of the humorists, is familiar to us all. His strange misadventures, his tumbles into coal holes, his locomotive difficulties as he walks with one foot in the gutter, his use of his cane for an umbrella, and so on—all these are the raw material of the jokesmiths, observes the New York Tribune. But real people, however absent-minded, we are told, are never so aberrant. No? What shall be said, then of Charles Krudak of Port Kennedy, Pa., who the other day took his baby girl on a trip to Philadelphia, and when he got off the return train left her aboard? How could he forget? The child was obviously not doing her vocal duty. Without stopping to explore a possible connection between Mr. Krudak's experience and the fact that he had just been to Philadelphia, let us consider the case of Raymond Bentley, recently reported from Omaha. This gentleman was to be married the other day. To guard against his weakness he kept saying, "Wedding, wedding," to himself as he prepared for the ceremony. But setting out for the church he came to another church where a wedding was in progress. Mechanically he turned in, took his place among the guests, waited through the ceremony, congratulated the happy couple and then returned home. It is pleasant to read that his bride, a young woman of firm character, instead of fainting, presently arrived with a minister, and a second marriage occurred. The absent-minded professor of fiction surely has his rivals in real life. ALASKA HAS MORE WOMEN Sex Ratio Is Gradually Being Equalized in the Far Northwest Possession of America. Whether modern girls are becoming more adventurous or Alaska more tame, statistics recently published by the Eugenics Research association indicate that our northern territory is becoming less a nomadic land of single cussedness and settling down more to starting the home fires burning. There has been a continually approaching balance in the number of males to 100 females. In the total population this ratio has moved as follows: In 1900, 258.9; in 1910, 247.9; in 1920, 168.5. "Industrially, eugenically and socially, the great need of the territory is settlers who move into the region with their families," says the report, according to the Syracuse Herald. "Perhaps the distribution of age groups with sex ratios indicates approaching stabilization of population. In 1920 the sex ratios by age groups were: Forty and more years of age, 304.5 males to 100 females; twenty to thirty-nine years of age, 171.1 males to 100 females; under twenty years of age, 100.7 males to 100 females."

PACKAGE FREIGHT PROVES BOON TO THE SMALL TOWN MERCHANT Chicago's System, With 2,500 Cars Going Out Daily, Keeps the Country Dealer Abreast of the Times. Chicago's package freight system, by which small-town merchants, particularly in the South and Southwest, are kept abreast of the times, has been developed to 2,500 cars a day. Chicago package freight plays an important part in the life of the small community. The flapper there has the latest seasonal styles just as soon as her cousins on the Boul Mich. The town Beau Brummel no longer is five or six months behind the city man in the cut of his clothes. It is of inestimable value to country merchants in more ways than one. It helps them make satisfied customers and satisfied customers help to build up business. Chicago, with the world's greatest transportation facilities and the market place of 50,000,000 people within a night's ride, is the logical pivot for such a freight scheme. Thirty-nine railroads, including 25 great systems, terminate here. This represents 40 per cent of the railroad mileage of the United States. Fourteen belt line railroads, comprising 1,400 miles of track, one-third of the total belt mileage of the United States, make connections between the great trunk lines. Chicago's 2,500 package freight cars daily go to 1,800 shipping points in 40 states, from which 60,000 other points can be reached with one transfer. Through the Association of Commerce, in co-operation with the railroads and shipers, Chicago has developed this package freight car system by which all consignments to a given point are consolidated so that Preparing Package Freight for Ship Preparing Package Freight for Shipment in Chicago Dry Goods House. delays in transfer are avoided. This also minimizes damage to goods in otherwise repeated handling. Before the days of this system less than carload shipments went out in a naphazard sort of way and the merchant in Waco, Tex., or some other such point, considered himself lucky if the piano he ordered for Christmas arrived some time around Easter. Now he gets it in five days. This merchandise service is the result of years of study of the needs of the small-town merchant and a thorough analysis of the country's vast network of rail transportation. By way of illustration of what had to be overcome it may be stated that there are more than 200 different ways of routing freight from Chicago to Charlotte, N. C., but only one route has a through package car to Charlotte. It required several years of study to determine the quickest and most economical route to this point. Test shipments were made over many of the 200 different routes, and in some instances shippers' representatives or representatives of the Association of Commerce freight traffic bureau made personal inspections. CHICAGO TO BUILD COM CHICAGO TO BUILD COMMUNITY DENTAL CLINIC Toothbrush Drill in Chicago Public School. Ground will be broken soon for a great dental clinic in conjunction with the Chicago Training School for Home and Public Health Nursing to be operated along the lines of the Forsyth Dental infirmary of Boston. When Dr. John Dill Robertson, then health commissioner for the city of Chicago, held a health show in the Coliseum two years ago, he laid the foundation for the nurses' training school, which already has turned cut 10,000 women, trained in the fundamentals of home nursing. The school's activities gradually broadened until they include a dental clinic for children whose parents are unable to pay for this service, and also an infirmary for the treatment of the eyes of children with defective vision and where glasses are provided without cost. "Boston has got something on Chicago, but not for long," said Mayor William Hale Thompson. "We are not only going to build ourselves a dental clinic but we are going to 'out-Forsyth Forsyth.' We are not only going to do as much for our kiddies as these great men are doing for the city of Boston, but we are going to combine our dental institution and our nurses' training school under the same roof, and it will be in a broader way. "I was amazed at the instant and almost spontaneous support that came through the dentists of Chicago and their organization. One letter told of an organization of 4,000 dentists and bridged the help and support of each --- Chicago, with the world's greatest transportation facilities and the market place of 50,000,000 people within a night's ride, is the logical pivot for such a freight scheme. Thirty-nine railroads, including 25 great systems, terminate here. This represents 40 percent of the railroad mileage of the United States. Fourteen belt line railroads, comprising 1,400 miles of track, one-third of the total belt mileage of the United States, make connections between the great trunk lines. Chicago's 2,500 package freight cars daily go to 1,800 shipping points in 40 states from which 60,000 other points can be reached with one transfer. The value, of Chicago's package freight shipments runs into millions of dollars daily. There are no accurate records because a package car is filled with a large range of goods. A package of silk may be worth $1,000.00. ment in Chicago Dry Goods House. but a package of the same size containing thware only $10.00. From 300 to 400 packages are put in one car, depending on the size. In trying to arrive at a rough estimate of the value of the 2,500 daily cars of package freight, one expert hazarded a guess of $25,000.00 per car. That would be $62,500,000.00 a car. Another put it at $1,000.00 a car, or $2,500,000.00 a day. By striking a general average between these figures, the daily shipment would amount to more than $30,000,000.00. The chief advantages of through package freight are in the saving of time and the condition of goods at destination. Many claims for damage, loss and delays are avoided. Chicago's system has reached such a fine stage of development that it can beat St. Louis in her own territory in the matter of service. There are many places in Texas to which, by correct routing, Chicago is able to overcome other advantages of the St. Louis market. For example, shipments to Laredo, Amerrillo and El Paso, Tex., can be made in less time from Chicago than from St. Louis. MUNITY DENTAL CLINIC and every one of the 4,000. That sounded good to me and I was elated to know that the dentists felt as I felt about it; and when I began to learn a little more about it I found that the dentists of Chicago had felt this way for twenty years and had been expecting to build an institution of this kind "I feel there is nothing on earth that can stop us from going ahead, and I feel that we will not only 'out-Forsyth' Boston but will 'out-Forsyth' the world." The nurses' training school with which the dental clinic will be operated was the silver lining that backed the influenza cloud in the autumn of 1918. From this epidemic grew the idea which promises to curb similar visitations in the future. The training school was organized in the summer of 1919, almost immediately following the final abatement of the influenza. When influenza again visited Chicago in the following year, 1920, the city was amply equipped with nurses to meet it, and proper nursing, it was conceded, was the one and only barrier to wide spread of the disease. But the barrier had been erected and it was effective. The board of directors of the Chicago Training School for Home and Public Health Nursing consists of Mayor William Hale Thompson, Miss Annie MacKenzie, Dr. John Dill Robertson, Dr. William A. Evans, D. R. Kelty and Judra William E. Fetts. ```markdown ``` East St. Louis Gazette The Metropolis Gazette Publishing Co., has Established a Branch Office East St. Louis, Ill., where a Job Office will be operated under competent management.

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 dollrrs 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 working 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. Johnsonville. Tenn. Mrs. M. J.
