This government is based upon the fundamental idea that each man, no matter what his occupation, his race, or his religious belief, is entitled to be treated on his worth as a man, and neither favored nor discriminated against because of any accident in his position.—Theodore Roosevelt. VOL. VL—NO. 2 Methodist Divine Draws 18 Months In Penitentiary BALTIMORE, Md.—Rev. Cyrus W. H. Briddell, Kent Island M. E. minister, with a perfect record of many years' work in the Delaware Conference, was found guilty of sending obscene letters through the mail Friday. Monday, he was sentenced to serve 18 months in the Federal penitentiary. The jury was out half an hour and the verdict followed a trial covering two days in U. S. District Court and attracting the attention of large numbers from Kent Island, where the women who received the letters lived, as well as here in Baltimore, where the accused had a large number of influential friends. Lived Exemplary Life One of the outstanding features of the trial was the large amount of evidence brought out by the defense that established the fact that Rev. Briddell enjoyed the most enviable reputation in all of the places he had been stationed since his advent into the ministry. Dr. John O. Spencer, president of Morgan College, testified on the witness stand that he had known Rev. Briddell 12 years, covering his student days at Princess Anne Academy, and his activities in the ministry and knew him to be a good moral man and would not believe him guilty of such an act. ALLEGED PACIFIST FORESEES DOWNFALL OF WHITE RACE INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—A war, more terrible than any before, which would result in the end of white civilization and the beginning of that of the darker or submerged races, toward which the world is drifting, was the forecast of Dr. Frederick J. Libby in an address here last Thursday night. Mr. Libby based his statement concerning the coming of the war of wars on the political outlook in Europe, the general unrest and the fact that one-fifth of the national budget for 1924 is devoted to army and navy—a total of $547,000,000. "If the moral forces of America can show no more effectiveness in the next four years in organizing the world for peace than has been done in the last four years, our military men will be justified in pushing their well organized plans to save a remnant when the war breaks," he said. "It is only faintly appreciated in our country what the nature of the next war will be. Gas and airplanes have made rapid strides since 1918. Our Lewisite gas is instantaneous death when breathed, and if it touches the skin, it kills by poisoning the blood. "It can be sprayed from the tail of a riderless airplane guided by wireless and would leave a trail of death 100 feet wide and seven miles long before the plane was exhausted. Sentiment will not end war. We are not going to drift into permanent peace. Men and nations drift down, not up. We do not have to change human nature to substitute law for war in the community, in the state and between states. We must educate for peace, beginning with the children and creating in them a new world. In so far as the League of Nations falls short of our wishes for it, its shortcomings are due to a lack of public sentiment in its favor. War must be removed from the text books. Every means used in establishing suffrage in the United States must be used in a campaign, to prevent further war." IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of my dear husband, Clarence Lee Lindsey, who died May 9th, 1922, at the age of 26 years. The lonely bud so young and fair, Called hence by early doom; Came to show how sweet the flower In Paradise would bloom. Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade, Death came with friendly care; The opening bud to heaven conveyed. And bad him blossom there. Mrs. Edith Lindsey, wife. Harvey Webster Lindsey, son. Claudia Lenore Lindsey, daughter. Mrs. Mattie Lindsey, mother. Mr. Plato Lindsey, father.

A STRONG CHARACTER Race prejudice is bound to give way before the influence of character, education and wealth. These are necessary to the growth of our race. Without wealth there be no leisure, without there can be no thought there can no progress.—Booker T. Washington. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year Colored Women Of Phoenix Start Big Financial Drive The Phoenix Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, officially launched their great financial drive Thursday afternoon, April 12, on the club grounds at 14th and Jefferson streets.

DENVER, Colo.—A delegation led by J. L. Hines, former resident of Mississippi and a member of the Park Hill Improvement Association, who has been loudest in a demand for separate schools and residential segregation for our people, called upon Gov. Wm. E. Sweet, March 14 in the executive chamber and solicited his aid in getting a resolution through the legislature favoring separate schools for Denver Afro-Americans. In order to give emphasis to his argument, Hines referred to our people in vile and opprobrious terms so characteristic of southern "crackers," and told how our people were treated in Mississippi. Gov. Sweet stopped him in the very midst of his trade, and, looking squarely at him, said: "You go back south of the Mason and Dixon's line and handle the school question in any manner you see fit() and we of Colorado will handle the question as we see fit. No city in America has a finer class of colored people than are to be found in Denver, and the relations between the races has always been pleasant. I very much doubt whether you could get the legislature to consider such a resolution as you are seeking, and I would not sign it if they did. If you will take the pains to read the constitution of Colorado, you will find my answer to all such questions as you propose." GOVERNOR PARKER BATON ROUGE, La.—Delegations seeking the appointment of District Judge Robert Roberts of Minden and District Judge J. E. Reynolds of Arcadia, to the vacancy on the Louisiana Court of Appeals were informed last Thursday by Governor J. M. Parker they would not be considered as he believed they were members of the Ku Klux Klan. The governor told the delegations that he had announced publicly that he would not appoint to office a member of the Klan, and that this especially applied to judges. The governor produced the membership list of the Minden klan and read the name of Judge Roberts as a clansman. Governor Parker then asked Mr. Reynolds if he had joined the Shreveport klan and it was said he admitted that he had.

Soon the grass, trees and flowers will make everything beautiful in nature and the balmy breezes will waft the perfume of the budding trees, and flowers over the earth. The ponds and streams will be another attraction, for within them are myriads of fish that are hungry and watchful for the unlucky worm, bug or fly that may be caught in the swirling waters of the stream or alight upon the surface of the placid waters. The fruit trees will be filled with blossoms and the birds, already busy in building their nests, will fill the air with music that charms and which fills the heart with a spirit of thankfulness and respect for the Creator. Man also takes on a new life. His spirit is lighter, his step quicker, the gloom of winter has passed from him. He has a longing to get out into the green fields, the woods and pastures and fill his lungs with the perfume-laden ozone that sends the blood tingling to the externities of every vein and artery of his system. He longs to get out his fishing tackle and cast a fly or chuck a bug to lure the festive denizens of the waters from their hiding places, and then gather around the campfire to cook and feast upon his finny prey, or take them home to his family and friends and tell them about the excitement of the day, the big one that got away, the whale that wouldn't bite, and in general of the enjoyment of a perfect day. Spring is house-cleaning time. It is the time when the housewife chases the winter's accumulation of dirt with mop and broom, the scrubbing brush and other appurtenances for cleaning and purifying the house. It is the day when the furniture is moved about, piled up in other rooms or set out of doors. It is the day when the rugs and carpets have to be beaten and cleaned, and then put down again upon thoroughly cleaned floors, and it is also the time when the lord of the household has very important business in the country (fishing) or an excess of office work (at the club). It is the time when the lady of the house finds that recreation is far preferable to man than effort to assist in putting the house in order. Spring is the time for municipal cleaning. It is the time when the accumulations of winter should be removed; when every back yard and alley should be cleaned of rubbish and ashes and the refuse hauled away. It is the time when the lawn should be raked, flowering plants and shrubbery set out, the garden planted and everything about the house made as beautiful as it is possible to make it. It is the time to paint and repair the buildings; so that when the flowers bloom, the grass grows green, and the trees put forth their foliage the home will be attractive and beautiful, a joy to the dwellers therein, and a credit to the community in which it is located. Spring is the time when the poet writes silly verses, because his heart is filled with joy, and he sees in every budding plant and in every flower that blooms an awakening of nature that appeals to him and fills his heart with joyous harmony. Religion is necessary to good government. No nation ever existed for any great length of time without religion. It may not have been the Christian religion that was and is the basis of all good government that could be called good. Religion is the basis of the home, and as such is the basis of the government. Take away religion and government fails to function properly. In Russia the Soviet government has undertaken a policy that recognizes no religion. There was a religion before the overthrow of the Czarist government and up to the time of the soviet revolution; but since that time religion has been one of the fundamental principles of human life that has been omitted from every government institution and efforts have been made to suppress it altogether. If has not been entirely wiped out, however, for the principles instilled into the minds of the people from infancy cannot be eradicated in a few years and probably not altogether in a lifetime. However, the conditions are such in Russia that the people are drifting away from their former standards and gross immorality is gradually taking the place of the religious standard of the Russian people under the government of the Czar. The people may say, there is no God, but those who have reached the age of understanding know that there is, and however much they may try to live without the religion of their fathers, and to which they have been trained in early life, they cannot entirely break away from it. Those who do, however, rapidly decline into a condition of moral depravity that is lamentable. Both the love and fear of God are necessary to keep the human family in line of duty to them- PAGE TWO SPRING CLEANING time is with us again.

If you do not like your work try something else; but whatever you do you will find that labor, physical or mental or both are necessary to any job worth having, and if the job is what you call soft the preparation for it required far more labor than you are willing to perform. If it were not so you might be holding the job instead of the other fellow. --- LOCAL NEWS Joint Head Opens Colored people of this community will be pleased to learn that through the efforts of Rev. Major Jones, Joint Head has been secured as a special summer resort for our people. The supervisors have granted him permission to fit out and use this place as an amusement resort, and he will arrange to make it an ideal outing place. Swimming, fishing, picnic outings and other sports will be provided and Mr. Jas. Mullen and his famous band of musicians will be very much in evidence. It is the intention of these men to make Joint Head so attractive that it will not be necessary for any of our people to journey to the coast this summer in order to enjoy themselves. The first big celebration and outing to be held at this place will be June 19th, when a real old-fashioned southern barbecue and picnic will be held. Keep your eyes on Joint Head and watch for announcements of the many attractions to be held there. It will be to the colored people what Riverside is to the Caucasians of this community. Cancel your summer trip and get ready to enjoy yourself this year at Joint Head. Epworth League A splendid meeting of the Epworth League was held Sunday evening at the C. M.

THE JURYMAN Trial by jury is a good deal like absolute monarchy in one respect; it is an excellent theory provided you can get the right men to carry it out. Max Steuer, a New York lawyer, said recently that "men of big affairs make the best jurors." It is always difficult to get competent jurymen. An incident is related of an important insurance case which was once tried in Chicago involving many millions of dollars. The taking of evidence and the pleas of the counsel had occupied three weeks. Just before the jury retired a venerable looking juryman with long whiskers arose and asked the judge if he might be permitted to put one question. The judge consented. "Well," said the juryman, stroking his beard and looking very judicial, "there is one word which has been used a great deal which I do not understand, and I wish the court would tell me what it means. It is the word 'defendant.'" THE CROSS-CUT (Continued from last issue) (Continued from last issue) tured. "D you suppose—" Then, with a sudden resolution: "Drill there! Gad a'ole off to one side a bit and drill there. It seems to me Sissie Larsen put a 'ole or something—I can't remember. But drill. It can't do any 'arm." The gad chipped away the rock. Soon the drill was biting into the surface of the foot wall. Quitting time came; the drill was in two feet, and in the morning, Falchild went at his task again, pounding away at the long, six-foot drill with strokes that had behind them only muscles, not the intense driving power of hope. A foot he progressed into the foot wall and changed drills. Three inches more Then— "Harry!" "What's 'appened?" The tone of Fairchild's voice had caused the Cornishman to lean from his staging and run to Fairchild's side. That person had cupped his hand and was holding it beneath the drill hole, while into it he was pulling the muck with the scraper and staring at it. "This stuff' changed color!" he exclaimed. "It looks like—" "Let me see!" The older man took a portion of the blackish. gritty mass Vincent "This Stuff's Changed Color." and held it close to his carbide. "It looks like something—it looks like something!" His voice was high, excited. "I'll finish the 'ole and jam enough dynamite in there to tear the insides out of it. I'll give 'er 'ell. But in the meantime, you take that down to the assayer!" CHAPTER XV Fairchild did not hesitate. Scraping the watery conglomeration into a tobacco can, he threw on his coat and ran for the shaft. Then he pulled himself up, singing, and dived into the fresh-made drifts of a new storm as he started toward town; nor did he stop to investigate the fast-fading footprints of some one who evidently had passed the mine a short time before. Into town and through it to the scrambling buildings of the Sampler, where the main products of the mines of Ohadi found their way before going to the smelter. There he swung wide the door and turned to the little room on the left, the sanctum of a white-halred, almost tottering old man who wandered about among his test tubes and "buttons" as he figured out the various weights and values of the ores as the samples were brought to him from the dirty, dusty, bin-filled rooms of the Sampler proper. A queer light came into the old fellow's eyes as he looked into those of Robert Fairchild. "Don't get 'em too high!" he admonished. Fairchild stared. "What?" "Hopes. I've seen many a fellow come in just like you. I've been here thirty year. They call me Old Under-taker Chastine!" "But I'm hoping—" "Yep, Son." Undertaker Chastine looked over his glasses. "You're just like all the rest. You're hoping. Tro' er out and let the old Undertaker have a look at 'er." Sobered now, Fairchild reached for his tobacco can, which had been stuffed full of every scrap of slime that he and 'Arry had been able to drag from the powder hole. Evidently, his drill had been in the ore, whatever it was, for some time before he realized it; the can was heavy, exceedingly heavy, giving evidence of purity of something at least. But Undertaker Chastine shook his head. "Can't tell," he announced. "Feels heavy, looks black and all that. But it might not be anything but straight lead with a sprinkling of silver. And then again—" He began to tinker about with his pottery. He dragged out a scoop from somewhere and prepared various white powders. Then he turned to the furnace, with its high-chimneyed draft, and filled a container with the contents of the tobacco can. "Let 'er roast, Son," he announced. "That's the only way. Let 'er roast—and while it's getting hot, well, you just cool your heels." Long waiting—while the eccentric old assayer told doleful tales of other days, tales of other men who had rushed in, just like Fairchild, with their sample of ore, only to depart with the knowledge that they were no richer than before, days when the news of the demonetization of silver sweoped down upon the little town like some black tornado, closing down Charity Club Notes All members of the Colored Women's Charity club requested to meet Tuesday afternoon at the club house 108 So. 14th street.

Wis.—Repeal of the Wisconsin eugenics law, requiring an ante-nuptial physical examination before issuance of a marriage license, was voted by the lower house of the Legislature today. There was not a dissenting vote. Assemblyman Newcomb Spoor, author of the repeal bill, said that Wisconsin ministers were losing money because those desiring matrimony did not want so much red tape and examination. People have become much messed up since the days when Adam sang love songs to Eve and gathered fig leaves for her adornment. It is hard to tell now what people have even after an examination.

The old man crossed in the twilight dim, The sullen stream had no fear for him; But he turned, when safe on the other side, And built a bridge to span the tide. "Old man," said a fellow pilgrim near, "You are wasting your strength with your building here; Your journey will end with the end- ing day, You never again will pass this way. You've crossed the chasm, deep and wide, Why build this bridge at evening tide?" This chasm, that has been naught to me, To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be; He, too, must cross in the twilight dim— Good friend, I am building this bridge for him."—Selected. 102 YEARS YOUNG ROSEDALE, Ga.—Mark Thrash, said to be 102 years old, is the oldest employee on the pension rolls of the government, according to an announcement made by the Interior Department last week. Mr. Thrash, who was born in Louisa county, Va., was retired last year as a laborer in the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park at Chattanooga, Tenn. He is a former slave and was born December 15, 1820. It is said that his early life carried him into many states of the union. For more than forty years as a slave he was owned by Dr. Christopher Thrash of Virginia, who bought a tract of land in Meriweather county, Ga, and sent Thrash there with other slaves to clear the land. After the Civil War Thrash ran away to Arkansas, called a refugee and returned to Chattanooga several years later. He worked with a construction gang on the Central Railroad of Georgia for several years, and later became a nightwatchman in a hotel in Chickamauga. He managed to improve his meagre training during the time he was employed in the hotel and passed a civil service examination and secured employment as a laborer at Washington, which position he held for 28 years before his retirement with an annuity for life.

He fussed with his scales, he adjusted his glasses, he coughed once or twice in an embarrassed manner; finally to turn to Fairchild. "Young man," he queried, "it ain't any of my business, but where'd you get this ore?" "Out of my mine, the Blue Poppy!" "Sure you ain't been visiting?" "What do you mean?" Fairchild was staring at him in wonderment. Old Undertaker Chastine rubbed his hands on his big apron and continued to look over his glasses. "What'll you take for the Blue Poppy mine, Son?"

Is that good ore—or isn't it?" "Son, just one more question—and I hope you won't get mad at me. I'm a funny old fellow, and I do a lot of things that don't seem right at the beginning. But I've saved a few young bloods like you from trouble more than once. You ain't been high-grading?" "You mean—" "Just exactly what I said—wandering around somebody else's property and picking up a few samples, as it were, to mix in with your own product? Or planting them where they can be found easily by a prospective buyer?" Fairchild's chn set, and his arms moved slowly. Then he laughed. "No—I'll give you my word I haven't been high-grading," he said. "My partner and I drilled a hole in the foot wall of the stope where we were working, hoping to find the rest of a vein that was pinching out on us. And we got this stuff. Is it any good?" "Is it good?" Again Old Under-taker Chastine looked over his glasses. "That's just the trouble. It's too good—it's so good that it seems there's something funny about it. Son, that stuff assays within a gram, almost, of the ore they're taking out of the Silver Queen!" "What's that?" Fairchild had leaped forward and grasped the other man by the shoulders, his eyes agleam, his whole being trembling with excitement. "You're not kidding me about it? You're sure—you're sure?" "Boy, you've got a bonanza, if this holds out. It's almost identical. I never saw two samples of ore that were more alike. Let's see, the Blue Poppy's right up Kentucky gulch, not so very far away from the Silver Queen, isn't it? Then there must be a tremendous big vein concealed around there somewhere that splits, one half of it running through the mountain in one direction and the other cutting through on the opposite side. It looks like peaches and cream for you. Son. How thick is it?" "I don't know. We just happened to put a drill in there and this is some of the scrapings." "You haven't cut into it at all, then?" "Not unless Harry, my partner, has put in a shot since I've been gone." "Well, Son, now you can hurry back and begin cutting into a fortune. If that vein's only four inches wide, you've got plenty to keep you for the rest of your life. Run along." And Falrchild "ran." Whistling and happy, he turned out of the office of the Sampler and into the street, his coat open, his big cap high on his head, regardless of the sweep of the cold wind and the fine snow that it carried on its ice breath. The waiting of months was over, and Falrchild at last was beginning to see his dreams come true. So this was the reason that Rodaine had acknowledged the value of the mine that day in court! This was the reason for the mysterious offer of fifty thousand dollars and for the later one of nearly a quarter of a million! Rodaine had known; Rodaine had information, and Rodaine had been willing to pay to gain possession of what now appeared to be a bonanza. But Rodaine had failed. And Fairchild had won! Won! But suddenly he realized that there was a blankness about it all. He had won money, it is true. But all the money in the world could not free him from the taint that had been left upon him by a coroner's investigation, from the hint that still remained in the recommendation of the grand jury that the murder of Sissie Lafsen be looked into further. Nor could it remove the stigma of the four charges against Harry, which soon were to come to trial, and without a bit of evidence to combat them. Riches could do much—but they could not aid in that particular, and some what sobered by the knowledge, Fairchild turned from the main road and on up through the high-piled snow to the mouth of the Blue Poppy mine. A faint acrid odor struck his nostrils as he started to descend the shaft, the "perfume" of exploded dynamite, and it sent anew into Fairchild's heart the excitement and intensity of the strike. Evidently Harry had shot the deep hole, and now, there in the chamber, was examining the result, which must, by this time, give some idea of the extent of the ore and the width of the vein. A moment more and he had reached the bottom, to leap from the carrier, light his carbide lamp which hung where he had left it on the timbers, and start forward. The odor grew heavier.
