CHURCH CHOSEN AS LEADER. Organization Well Prepared for the Crucial Test in the Political Arena. Met Feb. 1st. The Negroes of Memphis, Tenn., were presented with one of the greatest surprises in their history Tuesday night, Feb. 1, 1916. Remember the date, for in all likelihood it is to become historic. In times past when the Negroes have had under contemplation matters of importance, and have called the people together, either one of two things has usually happened. Either the people have been called together only to find out that nobody had definitely thought out or wrought out beforehand what was to be done, thus rendering the meeting largely ineffective; or, if a few men have had charge of the preliminary planning, too often they have planned so narrowly and with such show of personal favoritism that the thing planned did not commend itself to the general body of people when called together. Both Mistakes Avoided. But in the case of a meeting called for Tuesday night, Feb. 1, at Church's Park, this city, both of these mistakes were carefully avoided Somebody had done a lot of careful thinking beforehand. Everything needful for action was ready to hand. There was nothing to be referred to some future meeting to allow time for whipping it into shape. It was already in shape. The action of those who quietly had gotten together was ideal in every way. There was not a blemish in anything that had been done. What Had Happened. Led by Mr. R. R. Church, Jr., a number of men had come together and formed the Lincoln Republican Club of Tennessee. A splendid constitution had been drawn up, and a corps of officers had been selected. The constitution was so well drawn that no objections could be found with it on any score. Every line of it met with general approval. The official staff could not have been improved upon. On Tuesday night, Feb. 1 (remember the date, the Negroes of Memphis were called together for the purpose of registering their approval or disapproval of what had been done. Everything had been so well done that not a discordant note was heard. When members for the new organization were solicited there was a ready response. The Purpose of the Organization.

Most likely he will be confirmed, but he is sure to come in for a great deal of discussion. In the opinion of many this action of President Wilson bears all the marks of a political stroke. Perhaps it may so prove; but if Mr. Wilson had in mind the advancement of his political chances, he would, in our humble opinion, have made a far more effective stroke had he named ex-President Taft.

We do not believe the appointment will add greatly to the President's popularity, so we let it go at that.

Number 34 Prominent Ohioan Answers Call Civil War Veteran and Father of Ralph Tyler Dies Surrounded by Family. JAS. S. TYLER ANSWERS CALL Recites Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar" A Few Moments Before Life Ends. Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 11.—James S. Tyler, one of the oldest race men living in the state of Ohio, and father of Ralph W. Tyler, former auditor of the United States navy, died at his home Wednesday, January 26, surrounded by his family, a few minutes after he had recited Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar." Mr. Tyler was born in Columbus seventy-nine years ago when this city was only a hamlet. He was a self educated man. Despite the fact that he never attended school more than a month in his life, because he did not have the opportunity, he was a ready writer, a most excellent speller and grammarian, and a great reader. He gained great prominence in the politics of Ohio a few decades ago. Few race men in the United States have been so favorably known as he and few have done so much by example. He was a constant counsel and was of faithful service for the uplift of the race. Knew McKinley Personally. He was a personal friend of the late President William McKinley and the friendship began on a southern battlefield. James B. Foraker, while governor, was his personal friend and gave him a position as capitol attache. Many other men of prominence knew him intimately and thousands liked him for his cheery smile and pleasant disposition. His knowledge of history was unusual. Many years ago Mr. Tyler began to arouse the interest of members of his race in educational affairs and current events by contributing the Afro-American department of the State Journal. Although the days of his own schooling were less than those embraced within one year he was a student and man of ideals throughout his life. Was In Civil War. Mr. Tyler served in the Fifth United States colored regiment during the Civil war. At the close of the conflict he was mustered out as a quarter-master sergeant. For years he was affectionately called "Captain." He was the first colored man to be elected clerk in the Ohio House of Representatives and served during three sessions. Under Sheriff J. U. Rickenbacker he was appointed court bailiff. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Joseph Hardesty and Miss Ethel (Continued on seventh page.) General Race News 2 SPINGARN MEDAL TO BE AWARDED. Boston, Mass., Feb. 11.—At a mass meeting to be held in Tremont Temple, Boston, on February 22, the second Spingarn medal will be presented by Governor McCall to the Negro selected as having made the most distinguished achievement during the preceding twelve months. The Spingarn medal, the gift of Dr. J. E. Spingarn of New York, formerly professor of comparative literature in Columbia University, and chairman of the board of directors of the N. A. A. C. P., is a gold medal of the value of $100 and awarded annually to the American Negro who has rendered the most distinguished service during the year in any field of honorable or elevated endeavor. The committee of award consists of two Northern white men, ex-President William H. Taft and Oswald Garrison Villard; a Southern white man, Dr. James H. Dillard, director of the Slater Fund, and two colored men, Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore, and President John Hope of Morehouse College. Atlanta, Ga. The first medal was awarded last year to Dr. Edward E. Just, professor in the Howard University Medical School, for distinguished work in biological research. The recipient of the second medal will not be announced until Governor McCall presents it to him in Tremont Temple on Washington's birthday. NASHVILLE FOR NAPIER. Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 11.—The Nashville Negro Booster Club, incorporated, one of the strongest and most active organizations of its kind in the country, composed of Nashville's leading colored merchants, will take a hand at "boosting" former Register of the United States Treasury J. C. Napier, of this city, as the next president of the National Negro Business League to succeed the late lamented Dr. Booker T. Washington. A resolution was adopted by the members of the Nashville Booster Club at its annual meeting held here last Thursday night calling on all friends of Mr. Napier for support to elect him to the presidency of the League at the meeting to be held at Kansas City. The Nashville merchants will send a delegation of "boosters" to the annual gathering to work for the election of Mr. Napier. Register Napier is one of the most successful men of the race in the entire country, and has accumulated considerable wealth as a result of his own efforts. In Nashville, his home city, he established the first Negro banking institution to open its doors in Tennessee, and the confidence in which he was held by all who knew him placed the institution upon a sound foundation from the beginning. Some twenty-five years ago he was elected as a member of the City Council of Nashville and gained a thorough knowledge of the city government. He introduced many measures that became laws which have resulted in untold benefits to the city. He afterwards became prominent in county and State politics and served on the Republican State Executive Committee for many years. THE MONITOR 25TH INFANTRY PAID A HIGH COMPLIMENT. Schofield Barracks, Hawaii Territory, Feb. 11.—Col. Lyman W. V. Kennon, until recently in command of the 25th Infantry, has been transferred to the command of the 26th Infantry, stationed in Texas, and left here January 5, on the transport Thomas, for San Francisco, enroute to his new command. He was well thought of by his men, and his leaving was marked with regret by all. Under his guidance the gallant Twenty-fifth has maintained its reputation for discipline, appearance and efficiency. Both he and the men were paid the following high compliment last spring when the division commander, General Carter, said to the members of the Congressional party at Schofield barracks: "You will presently see pass in review before you, the Twenty-fifth Infantry, a regiment made up of colored soldiers and the largest regiment in our little army. This regiment, ladies and gentlemen, is the best disciplined, the best dressed, the best marching and the best maneuvering regiment I have ever seen in my forty years of service." MARRIED AND JAILED. Kingston, Va., Feb. 11.—Claud Pennel and Caro Jones were married in Norfolk several weeks ago, and now Claud is under sentence of twelve months on the county roads and Caro is to serve an equal length of time in the Lenoir county jail, because it is found that Claud is the descendant of both colored and white persons, while Caro is said to be pure white. They were tried in the recorder's court and witnesses testified that ancestors of the man two or three generations back were mulattoes or octoroons. The question of the marriage was not considered, since the decision that Claud is a mixed breed renders the ceremony performed null and void. Pennel, it is said, has ample means, and he has appealed to the Superior Court, which is expected to render a decision next week. Both are under bond, and the girl is in the care of her relatives. Pennell will carry the case to the Supreme Court if necessary. It is not thought that the girl will be subjected to the penalty, even if the decision of the recorder is sustained, as her sentence wil probably be set aside. CADETS AT KANSAS COLLEGE. Quindaro, Kan., Feb. 11.—Thursday, January 13, the adjutant-general of Kansas, Gen. C. D. Martin, accompanied by Captain Garret, of the First Kansas City regiment and Col. E. C. Little, 20th Kansas, retired, visited Western University, at Quindaro, to inspect and receive the Negro cadet corps recently organized in that institution. The company is composed of forty cadets and a band of thirty-five pieces. General Martin issued commissions to the following officers: Booth Smith, Kansas City, captain; Fred Jackson, Quindaro, 1st lieutenant; Roy Deloney, Checotah, Okl., 2nd lieutenant. Capt. N. Clark Smith, Kan- sas City, formerly of the United States army, is major and commandant. DEATH TAKES PROMINENT METHODIST MINISTER. Chicago, Ill., Feb. 11.—The Rev. Theobald A. Smythe, for three years pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, and one of the prominent ministers of the A. M. E. connection, died at his late home, 3155 Calumet avenue, Thursday evening, January 25. Dr. Smythe was born in Ulster Springs, Jamaica, West Indies, and was 47 years, 10 months old. He had been in the United States twenty-five years, was a member of the General Conference of 1912, and was prominently spoken of as a candidate to succeed Bishop W. H. Heard, bishop to Africa. Waycross, Ga., Feb. 11. The newly organized Local Business League has been instrumental in promoting the organization of the Laborers' Penny Savings and Loan Company. Charles W. Gaines is president.

(Continued from first page.) manding the attention of those in power is an effective ballot; and the Lincoln Republican Club is organized for the purpose of teaching the Negro race the power of the ballot, and for the purpose of having the race to make a wise use of this power in de- fending itself and advancing the in- terests of all the people. No longer is it to be misused by designing per- sons if the Lincoln Republican Club of Tennesse is successful in its plans. Good Features of the Organization. An outstanding feature of the or- ganization is that it represents a com- bination of influences. In the past, far too often, when a strong character in the Negro race has sought to launch an enterprise, he has surrounded him- self with aveaklings, perhaps thinking that he might shine the brighter as a brilliant star, if surrounded by far dimmer stars only. That might be true, but the general light reflected would be inferior to that coming from a combination of bright stars. The men launching the Lincoln Republican Club took pains to put several bright stars together. Standing next the leader and presi- dent of the club, Mr. R. R. Church, Jr., is Mr. T. H. Hayes, 1st vice presi- dent, the successful business man, with a philanthropic heart and an in- terest in everything looking toward the upbuilding of the Negro people. Coming next is Mr. Wayman Wilker- son, second vice president, the leader of the national thrift movement, a man widely known and popular in the city of Memphis and throughout the state. The third vice president is also a man well and favorably known, Mr. Levi McCoy. The progressive younger element of the race was represented in Mr. J. T. Settle, Jr., the secretary, the worthy son of the late distinguished attorney, J. T. Settle, and in Mr. B. M. Roddy, the treasurer, who came to Memphis THE MONITOR days at 8 p. m.

As so much depends upon the lead- srship of a movement, it is meet that . special word should be said con- zerning the president, Mr. R. R. Church, Jr., and his qualifications for eadership, Mr. Church has a most pleasing yersonality. He is tall in form and has a head that signifies the presence f a strong mind. His bearing is cor- lial, modest, manly and dignified un- der all circumstances. He is patient, never grows excited, and is always, »ven when under fire, as cool as the sroverbial cucumber. Membership in the Club. No joining fee is attached to mem- yership in the Lincoln Republican Club. Anyone who will agree to the orineiples of the club, and will agree o pay his poll tax and to register, nay become a member by enrolling his name.

Her work in the treasurer’s office will include the preparing of spring tax receipts, nearly 300,000 of which are to be made in triplicate, WVHITNEY’S TRIBUTE TO LUCAS. The fact that Salem Tutt Whitney vas recently in our city delighting his audiences with his droll wit, and has nany friends and admirers here, nakes it especially fitting that we should publish his beautiful tribute to the late Sam Lucas, the Nestor of race actors so recently called to his rest. Few of us really appreciate at their true worth the many actors of our race who have honored and still honor the theatrical profession. They are nen and women of great versatility. The following tribute of Whitney to Lueas was recently published in The New York Age: * SO LONG, DAD. (To the memory of Sam _ Lucas, loved and esteemed by all who knew him.) Well, so long, Dad! with tear-dimmed eyes, We fold your hands across your breast; Tis hard to break the loving ties, 3ut oh! we know you've longed for rest. For many long and weary years You blazed the pioneer trail, With heart and soul that knew not fear, Courageous strength that could not fail. The trials, the sorrows, that infest | The path of mortals here below, Jould never still your merry jest, Thy heart ne’er bowed to weight of woe. You sought to lighten other’ care; A noble call was given thee, Go spread thy sunshine everywhere! Proclaim thy merry minstrelsy! The mission well thou didst fulfil, And nobly were thine honors won. | Alas, thy lips are cold and still, The Master speaks: “Enough, well done!” The way you take you may not show, Though many oft have passed before, Each in his turn the road will know That leads to that mysterious shore. The host of friends you left behind, Bid thee “bon voyage,” with God’s speed; Another host o’er there you'll find, And God to succor every need. Well, so long, Dad! but not farewell, Tis but a little time and we Will join you there for aye to dwell With God in blest eternity. —Salem Tutt Whitney, 610 N. 39th Street, Philadelphia, Pa, CHICAGO “L” COMPANY EMPLOYS COLORED GIRL.

Church, a large gathering of music lovers drank eagerly of the stream that fairly overflowed from the depths of an artist’s soul. No one who heard Miss Hagan’s interpreta- tion of selections from Rachmouinoff, Grieg, Coleridge-Taylor, Lizst, God- ‘ard, Mendelssohn and Chopin could doubt her insight into the hearts of ‘the composers, or of her ‘versatility ‘in adapting herself to the varying ‘moods of these artists. To listen to Miss Hagan’s rendition of “Deep River” and “Bamboula” from Cole- ridge-Taylor is to wonder if this com- poser’s spirit has returned to continue its work in the personality of this charming young lady. Her technique is of such a high order that it is at once apparent to the amateur as well as to the expert. The marvelous co-ordination of mental and motor activities has resulted in the complete control of the mind over the fingers. Such a combination has been obtained by work that would have crushed the average intellect by its magnitude. Into all of her work Miss Hagan puts the full power of a per- sonality broadened by travel, by study, by a knowedge of the natural sciences, and a comprehension of the tremen- dous problems of life. Miss Hagan was well supported by Mrs. J. G. Jewell, Mr. J. W. Bundrant, Mr. William H. Lacey, and a quartet of young violinists composed of How- ard Allen, Dillard Crawford, Henry Smith and Worthington Williams. All of these contributed to the pleasure of the evening and deserve praise for their share in the concert.

We dread to think what the "Cat" would say if he were here—but the "Cat" is away, so the mice will play. Oh, the the "Cat's" picture is on the front page, and is no other ferocious animal than Our Editor, Father John Albert Williams. Just now he is holding a mission in Memphis, Tennessee. This edition was left in the hands of his associate editors, who are glad of the opportunity to present Our Editor to the readers of The Monitor. The original playful mouse in this instance is Mr. Charles Barnhart, of the Waters-Barnhart Printing Company. While beginning work on the printing of this issue, it suddenly occurred to him that he possessed a cut of Father Williams. Knowing well the modest disposition of Our Editor, Mr. Barnhart realized that a cut of the "Cat" in The Monitor was impossible with the "Cat" himself reading the proof sheets. In other ways than this is the occasion an opportune one, for the "Cat" celebrates his fiftieth birthday on Monday, February 28th, a few days after his expected return from Memphis. Moreover, June 11th of this year will mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of his ordination to the diaconate here, the ceremony having taken place on St. Barnabas' Day in St. Barnahas' Church. On October 18, 1891, he was ordained to the priesthood in St. Matthias' Church,—another twenty-fifth anniversary this year. For twenty-five years, just one-half of his life up to this time, he has lived in Omaha, bending all his energies to the development of the broadest, most unselfish traits desirable in individual and community life. He has always been among the leaders of any movement in behalf of our people. With characteristic enthusiasm, his efforts have been directed along paths that have led to the betterment of Jew and Gentile, of beggar and aristocrat, of black, white and yellow races alike. Never have race or religious creed stood as barriers between him and those who are in need of help. The host of faithful followers, including men, women and children, from the highest to the lowest positions in life, is an undeniable testimony to his breadth of character. His faults—well, they are his, and concern us not; but if optimism, generosity, love, courage and sympathy may be classed as faults, they are his greatest. Though short in stature, he possesses sufficient weight, both physical and mental, to more than counterbalance the deficiency in height. The tremendous amount of work and responsibility resting upon his shoulders can only be appreciated in the light of the knowledge that he has held the --- Matter July 2, 1915, at the Post-act of March 3, 1879.

That is at least a slight recognition of his intellectual capacity. Add to these traits an undying devotion to family and home, an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and truth, and a will that is fearless of adverse circumstances and criticisms in its fight for the establishment of justice, and we have a glimpse of the noble character of Father Williams. We sincerely hope the "Cat" will not wreak vengeance upon the playful "mice," and urge all our readers to join us in a hearty laugh on him when he receives his copy of The Monitor in Memphis. We also trust that he and all men like him may receive our unstinted support and encouragement in the excellent work they are doing, keeping in mind always that we best help ourselves by helping each other. This is the only way we can develop in body, in morals, in mind and in soul, and "Grow With Growing Omaha." The action taken by the Negroes of Memphis, as depicted in an article on the first page is an excellent example of modern methods applied to organizations. It is also an indication of the awakening of the dormant powers of our race. It is a step wholly in keeping with the nation-wide movement for industrial preparedness. Such an organization must necessarily be encouraging to other communities where a spirit of progress pervades the citizens. After all, it is but a short step from Memphis to Omaha, and the founding and promotion of a similar organization here is only a question of determination—a determination to choose and support one leader, and a determination of that leader to strive for those means by which he can best serve his race. Let us carefully note the procedure of these men, and profit by thir example. These questions are the problems of young and old alike and require the best of thought that is in us. The outstanding feature in the success of this organization was the thorough preparation of the leaders. Are we preparing by education, by study, and by serious thinking? Let us ponder awhile and then act. President Wilson's attitude towards his cabinet is no longer open to doubt. He is strictly neutral. When his THE MONITOR W. G. H. most peaceful Secretary of State broke ranks, Mr. Wilson was apparently in a war-like position, but now that his most military Secretary of War has taken issue with him, it seems that Mr. Wilson is opposed to war as well. Between war and peace, neutrality is the happy (?) medium. We wonder how happy Mr. Wilson finds it there. Let every Colored American voter in Nebraska vote for John L. Kennedy for United States senator. He is the kind of a republican we need in the Senate. Let us see that he receives the nomination at the primaries. TWO THOUSAND VOTES COUNT.

In fact, the telegram from "Southern Gentile Democrats" and any other attempts which may be made to raise a racial issue against Mr. Brandeis will only serve to strengthen his hand. The reason is simple; any senator who would have opposed the nomination on other grounds will now refrain from doing so for fear of being accused of fighting Brandeis on account of his race. In a word, there is not a single senator with any regard for his political future who would dare to let it be known or even suspected that he would oppose the confirmation of Mr. Brandeis because he is a Jew. And that brings us down to what we started to say. There is a parallel between the condition of the Jewish race and of the Negro race which is often remarkably striking. They are both the victims of prejudice and persecution. In many parts of the world this prejudice is stronger against Jews than against Negroes. Even in the United States there are a great many people who have a stronger antipathy to the Jew than to the Negro. So eminent a man as the late Professor Shaler of Harvard University, in his book, "Neighbor," confessed that although he was a Southerner by birth and in sentiments his personal dislike of Jews was much stronger than of Negroes. He went so far as to say that he knew Negroes of whom he was extremely fond, but that all Jewish persons, for some unexplainable reason, were positively repulsive to him. Again, in this country, both Jews and Negroes are forced to maintain their separate and distinct racial identity; though the reasons for it may differ. Now, although there is so close a parallel between the two races, there is also the widest sort of a divergence; as the Brandeis case shows. This case does not cause us to ask why a Negro should not be named for a place in the Supreme Court, but it does cause us to ask another question. There are, perhaps, twelve million Negroes in the United States and about two million Jews. Both races are separate groups within the nation. Both are the objects of race hatred. We might carry the analogy farther, but this is sufficient to prompt the question, "How is it that any Negrophobe in Congress need have no fear in introducing laws against the colored citizens of this country and no hesitancy in using the vilest and most insulting language concerning the whole race; while no Congressman with an equally bitter prejudice against Jews would dare to breathe his sentiments in public, much less introduce anti-Jewish laws or insult the race?" We protest against injustice as well as do the Jews. Our vote in the states where it is counted is larger than the Jewish vote in the entire country. Why is it then that anybody can kick and insult twelve millions of one proscribed race, while nobody dares to open his mouth publicly against two millions of another race that also suffers proscription? Why is it that prejudice in the one case can run the limit and beyond, while in the other case, no matter how strong and bitter it may be, it must restrain itself? When you weigh the whole matter up and down and look it through and through you will find this to be the one answer that stands out big and clear: the twelve million Negroes in this country are, comparatively speaking, paupers; while the two million Jews have a controlling interest in the finances of the nation. There is no doubt about it; we may accomplish what we will, but, until we make ourselves felt as a financial element in the country, they are not going to stop kicking our dog around. The writer does not intend to say that the possession of wealth by the Negro will bring an end to prejudice. It has not done so in the case of the Jew; a Jew-baiter hates a rich Jew, perhaps, worse than he does a poor one. But the possession of wealth by the Negro, as a race will do this much, it will make presidents, senators, congressmen and all politicians, as well as business men and people in general, very particular about how and when they express or show their prejudice. And that is the main thing we are striving for. We should, of course, be glad to have everybody like us, but whether they like us or not, our demand is for them to "treat us right." If we must make a choice, we should rather be disliked and treated as men and citizens, than loved and treated without consideration. In this material world and in this most material country in the world, it is an idle dream for the Negro to hope to be able to demand full consideration until he is able to back up that demand with the power of money. The intellectual development of the race must be coupled with corresponding financial development. In our present condition we can demand nothing, we must beg for all we get. Any member of Congress who wishes to do so can stand in the national legislative halls and villify and insult twelve million Negro citizens of the Republic, and he can do it with impunity; but it is an extremely dangerous thing for any man in public life to breathe one word against two million Jews, or even to let it be known that he has anti-Jewish sentiments.

A very good test by means of which | the best fresh butter may be distin- guished from the made-up article or margarine is that in which a small quantity of the sample is placed in a tiny tube. This is set in water suf- ficiently warm to melt the contents; the sample is kept in a melted state for half an hour and it is then exam- ined. If “the butter is pure, and of the highest quality, it will almost cer- tainly be clear. On the other hand, with margarine or a worked-up but- ter a certain cloudiness will be appar- ent. A more simple, but equally re- liable test, is that in which a piece of the suspected article about the size of the tip of the little finger is placed in a spoon. This is held over a gas burner, and the behavior of the sam- ple is watched. Real butter boils qui- etly, producing a quantity of small bubbles; on the other hand, margarine or a process butter will crackle and sputter much in the way that green leaves do when they are placed on . fire. : Two simple tests for tea and sugar are indicated. One of th commonest adulterations of tea is the dyeing of the leaves to make them look a good color. The fraud is very easy to de- tect. Get a clean white cloth and rub some of the dry leaves between the material. Pure tea, which has not been treated, should leave no mark on the cloth; dyed tea will make a very definite stain that will not easily be rubbed away. Several additions are now and again made to sugar and, without an elab- orate analysis, it is not easy to deter- mine the exact nature of these. As a rule pure sugar should answer the following test satisfactorily. Make an almost saturated solution of sugar and water; place this in a glass tube; then stand in front of some print. It should be possible to read the type quite clearly through the sugar solu- tion. In the case of brown or raw sugars there might be a certain amount of discoloration of: the water, though any turbidness is almost cer- tainly an indication of adulteration. An unscrupulous baker will work into his bread as much salt as pos- sible. Experts say that an increas- ingly large amount of salt may be put into bread without the consumer's be- ing aware of it. The idea is that bread loaded with salt weighs more heavily on account of the moisture which it will retain. To find out the real value of bread from the stand- point of weight a little experiment may be followed. Take two samples of eqral weight, and bake these in an oven for an hour. At the end of this time weigh again. That which is the heavier is the better value. The addi- tion of alum to bread to make it white (often used to mask an inferior flour) is much to be condemned. Small quantities of alum taken regularly in this way are very harmful. Happily, a simple test for the discovery of alum in bread is available. Take a sample of the suspected article and place it in a saucer. Then pour over THE MONITOR bread is pure no change will take place. A large amount of jam is dyed; brightly colored articles should always be suspected. The point may be defin- itely established in this way. Mix a sample of the jam or jelly with an equal quantity of water. Throw into the mixture a piece of cotton wool and boil for half an hour. Now try to wash out the stain. If the jam is pure the stain can be easily removed; where dye has been used no amount of washing will get rid of the stain. Finally a good test for vinegar may ve described. In this case a common adulteration is the addition of some mineral acid. The presence of the harmful article is readily disclosed. Take a sample of the vinegar and add a few drops of methyl aniline violet. Pure vinegar shows no alteration, but ‘he adulterated sample turns a blue or a green color. THE CONDITIONS OF INDUS. TRIAL ACCIDENTS. The enactment of laws in various States on workmen’s compensation ‘or injuries has aroused increased in- terest in the statistics and physical and psychie conditions of industrial accidents. The total number of these vecidents is almost appalling. The lowest estimate places the fatal acci- Jents to adult workers in the United States a 35,000 a year, with an ad- ditional 1,250,000 non-fatal accidents. ‘The Massachusetts Industrial Acci- jent Board, on the other hand, places the number of workers killed by acci- dent yearly at 75,000, which appar- ontly includes not only adults, but al- 30 wirkers of al! ages, while the num- yer of injured of the same classes was placed by this Massachusetts author- ity at 8,000,000 or over. An earth- juake in a foreign country that kills half this number of persons and maims one-fiftieth of those injured in yur United States industries is spoken of as catastrophic. A greater proportion of accidents securs on Monday than on any other lay of the week. Accidents are said o be due often to fatigue. As, after the day of rest on Sunday, workmen should be less fatigued than on other days, some other factor must be sought to explain this feature of the statistics. It has been suggested that the “blue Monday” accidents are really due to the fact that workmen take more liquor on Sunday, and thus become unnerved and more liable to accidents during the following twen- ‘y-four hours. There is, perhaps, something in this contention, says The Journal of the American Medical As- sociation, though it has been disputed, In the Massachusetts Industrial Ac- cident Board Reports, in which the official figures are given, there is ‘ebanvate more than one-twentieth more accidents on Monday thar on Tuesday, while Tuesday is not much above the average in the number of accidents reported for other days. Saturday, of course, shows a note- worthy reduction, because of the half holiday in some trades. By far the larger number of acci- dents occur at about 10 A. M. and 3 P.M. This fact is confirmed by the reports of two State boards, Washing- ton and Massachusetts. The tendency ‘o speed up employment has been in- criminated, as the predisposing condi- tion for the occurrence of accidents. This desire comes over the workman when he is not yet fatigued, but has been employed for several hours. He starts the morning’s work “cold,” and as he warms to his work, the danger of mischance because of haste be- comes greater. Just when the speed- ing up reaches a climax in the morn- ing hours, most accidents happen. The same thing is true in the after- noon. Workmen feel sluggish after their lunch, but after a nhour of work, warm up again, and by about 3 o’clock they are doing their most rap- ‘d work, and are at the same time more subject to accidents. With regard to accidents among children, however, there is no hour of maximum. Accidents occur at all vimes, and they are comparatively much more frequent among children than adults. The United States Bu- vreau of Labor reported that “there is ‘lear evidence of great liability to ac- cident on the part of children. Though employed in the less hazard- ous work, their rates steadily exceed those of the older co-workers, even when in that group are included the ecupations of relatively high liabil- ‘ty.” This was said with regard to ‘he Southern cotton mills, but the same thing is true of practically all ‘ndustries in which children are em- ployed. PROMINENT OHIOAN ANSWERS CALL. (Continued from frst page.) Tyler, and seven sons, Ralph W., for- ner auditor of the navy; Dr. James 'A., Maurice H., Julius B., Henry M., Homer and William E. Tyler of Col- ambus and J. G. Tyler of St. Louis. ! Mr. Tyler was the father of the late ‘Ernest M. Tyler, who for a number of years was a resident of Omaha, and employed at the post office. A young lady of thirty-five, who wore a full set of false teeth, became engaged to be married to a young man ten years her junior. She had never told him about the teeth and her conscience began to trouble her, not knowing whether she ought to tell him before or after they were married. Dreading to do either, she whote to the editor of the love-lorn letter dapartment of a city paper for advice, and received this reply: “Do not tell him; get married and keep your mouth shut.”—W. H. B., Brooklyn, N. Y. | As the city salesman entered the little country store he found the group of loungers eagerly scanning the war map in a Sunday supplemet.n To be congenial, he asked the cause of all the excitement. “Wall,” said the pro- prietor, “We was jest looking up them countries thet’s fightin’ over yander, and we've located England and Aus- tria and Germany and them Russians an’ all the rest of ’em ’cept one, but hanged if we kin find thet country they call Allies!’—T. O. K. Knox- ville, Tenn. MANUFACTURERS OF CEMENT TO EXHIBIT FIRST TIME. | For the first time cement manu- factrurers will exhibit at the Omaha Cement show, February 29 to March 4.

Should we help where now we hinder? Should we pity where we blame? Ah! we judge each other harshly, Knowing not life’s hidden force— Knowing not the fount of action Is less turbid at the source; Seeing not amid the evil All the golden grains of good; And we'd love each other better If we only understood. Could we judge all deeds by motives That surround each other’s lives, See the naked heart and spirit, Know what spur the action gives, Often we would find it better, Purer than we judge we should. We should love each other better If we only understood. —Rudyard Kipling.
