LYONS' INCONSISTENCY Mr. Editor:—There appeared in the N. Y. Age last month an editorial under "300,000 D satisfied Church People" an editorial suggested by a pamphlet furnished by Dr. Ernest Lyon, ex-minister to Liberia, and the present pastor of John Wesley M. E. Church, Baltimore, Md. Dr. Lyon is my brother in church and conference, and also fellow workman in the pastorate. I regret being personal, censorous, and crossing my disposition, custom and training in replying to him, but in order to answer him I am forced to be a little indecorous. He says race prejudice is everywhere, is the greatest barrier to Christian progress, is the greatest sin of the age. True, it is in both Church and State, the oldest organizations, the controlling organizations, the greatest organizations of the world. We agree with the Dr. thus far, but now we come to the parting of the ways. We disagree with the Dr. in his treatment of this monster—race prejudice. Apparently, he treats it differently in different organizations. Usually we kill rats and snakes wherever found, and there is always a cause for the exception. Race prejudice is usually treated in the same way. One failing to do so, has a cause for so doing. We claim that the Dr. is guilty of inconsistency in dealing with race prejudice in Church and State. Two men who should cease fighting each other, and fight a third man approaching would do so because of greater feeling against the approaching man than they had against each other. Coming into the presence of two objects that we were absolutely opposed to, we might be unable to decide which one we would fight hardest and first. Therefore, our opposition to the objects would not depend upon the objects, but upon our attitude to those objects. The Dr. has two different attitude towards race prejudice, one attitude for it in the State, and another attitude for it in the Church. In the State, in Maryland he fights it, is fighting it now in this political campaign. In the Church, in the Methodist Episcopal Church he runs from it, and is using his influence to have others do the same. Why this difference in treating it? Why is he so earnest in trying to fight and kill it in the State, in Maryland, and so willing to let it live in his own church? Why assume such an obvious attitude toward it in Maryland while assuming a let-alone attitude in the Methodist Episcopal Church? In his own church! If in the presence of his church and the race prejudice in his church, he can do nothing for nor against either, it is clear he has no preference for each. If either of them makes him do anything, it shows that one to have more influence over him than the other one in some way. His proposition is, leave the church, and let the prejudice in her alone, even now when we, the victims of it and our friends see the greatest need of putting our strongest efforts against it, he advises running from it. Unless the Dr can explain, we decide that he hates race prejudice less than he does his --- HALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE' MARTINSBURG, W. church. Besides, if race prejudice is everywhere, where shall we run to get away from it? The Church is the most dangerous place to let it remain in. By all means we should get it out of there. But in the face of all this he says let it stay there, and let us come out and leave the church. In this way the Dr. discriminates between the Church and State, between race prejudice in the State and race prejudice in the Church. The natural inference is that he is less interested in his church than he is in race prejudice. To make it even stronger, we would say he is fighting his church. In addition to this inferoece, I think we have facts that make the proof complete that he is fighting his church. Some time ago the Dr. sought a connectional position in the church, but failed in the seeking. Later on he sought a conference job and lost that. Since then he has been fighting those who secure his coveted jobs, and has been fighting the church also. Inference—had he secured those jobs, he would now be defending his church, since the losing them caused him to fight her. Therefore, because he is disgruntled, he is unfit to lead in the agitation in his church on the race prejudice. Because he is known to be variable on the question, he can lead in it. In his own conference he has never had but five with him, three of whom have left him, and he is doubtful about the other two. At first he was secessionist, then an autonomist, then a federalist. His position has been downed in three preachers meetings, and in two conferences—everywhere that it has appeared. We think if his theory is so nice, some one should have the courage to initiate it, and that he is the proper one to do it. Possibly we could lead him long enough to try it. No, the Dr. does not represent 300 much less 300,00 members. (Rev.) S. H. Norwood. Baltimore, Md. LAUGHS AT MARIE BOSTON MAYOR SAYS PROHIBITION IN THE MOTHER STATE IS A FARCE. Men Who Make a Living Out of the Liquor Trade Helping Prohis Old Orchard Beach, Me.—Mayor John F. Fitzgerald, of Boston, who recently visited here, has expressed his views regarding liquor conditions in Maine, and says that the conditions will be improved If the sale is legalized "This talk about prohibition in Maine is disgusting," said Mayor Fitzgerald. "It is a farce. After the expression of opinion on the part of the people last year, I can not see how the Maine voters can speak so strongly in favor of prohibition. While prohibition prevails, and an attempt is made to keep liquor out of the state, the kitchen barrooms and blind tigers do a rushing business. The stuff they sell burns the lining off a man's stomach. Those it does not kill, it makes crazy. One can see more drunkenness here in a day than he could in one of the European countries in a month. It is easy to understand why some of the people here cry aloud for prohibition. They are the sheriffs, deputy sheriffs and plain clothes men who derive a living for keeping after the liquor sellers or pretending to do so, and some of them who receive money for keeping their eyes shut. The sale of liquor would save all of this, and at the same time boom the state in a great measure." --- CLASS 2—Best Ear of Corn. White READ THE PRESS. BOYS' AND GIRLS' CORN CONTEST Organized By College of Agriculture of West Virginia. It should be of general interest to all the people of the state to know that nearly 2,000 boys and girls have been growing corn to exhibit in the county and state corn shows of West Virginia this fall, and to compete for the valuable prizes so generously offered for the winning exhibit. Fourteen counties of the state are organized for these corn shows. In each county there is a committee to solicit prizes, organize the boys and girls, and make all necessary arrangements. In most instances the county superintendent of schools has set as leader in the county and secretary of the local committee. The College of Agriculture furnished the seed last spring to each boy or girl who entered the contest, and gave full and explicit directions for the preparation of the ground and the planting and cultivating of the corn, though seed to plant one twentelfth of an acre was sent direct to each contestant. From this plot the best ten oars and best single oars are to be selected for the county show, to be held at some central point in the county this fall. COLUMBIA COUNTY G. C. LAW, Of Wetton, W. Va., Prize Winner in the State Boys' and Girls' Corn Con- tact, January, 1911. Prizes at these county shows range from free scholarships, paying all expenses, to the short course in agriculture at the State university next winter, and ten dollars in gold for first prize, down to one dollar, or appropriate articles contributed by local merchants, for 8th, 6th and 7th prizes. In addition to the prizes for the best ears of corn, and for the best single ear, prizes are offered for the five best essays written by the boys and girls on "How I Grew My Corn." Outline record blanks were sent out by the College of Agriculture to each boy or girl, and the essays are to be based on these records. During the afternoon or evening of the corn show day a program is provided. The five best essays will be read by the authors as a part of the exercises. Music and appropriate exercises are given and the occasion is made to contribute to the honor of the boys and girls who are members of the county corn clubs. On November 27, at Keyser, W. Va., is to be held the State Corn show for the boys and girls who were winners of the county contests. The secretary of the county committee, in charge of the county show, will send the corn of the successful contestants to the state committee at Keyser not later than November 24. The secretary will also send the five best essays in the county to A. W. Nolan, Morgantown, W. Va., not later than Nov. 21 The following liberal prizes, offered at the state show, should spur any West Virginia boy to action: All entries must have been exhibited at n boys' and girls' county corn show and be entered by its secretary, or must be entered by the county superintendent of schools if no county show has been held. or Yellow. 1st—$50.00. 2d—$30.00. 3d—$20.00. CLASS 3—Best County Exhibit, Limited to Five Entries Each of Classes 1 and 2, from Each County. State banner for best county exhibit, offered by the "West Virginia Educator," Charleston, W. Va. CLASS 4.—Best Essay on Record of My Corn Crop." (Essay limited to 600 words.) 1st—$25.00. 2d—$15.00. 3d—$10.00. CLASS 5.—For the Best Ear of Dent Corn Exhibited by a Boy Under 18 Years of Age. Sweepstakes Trophy.—A sterling silver loving cup, valued at $30.00, offered by the faculty of the College of Agriculture, West Virginia university. Corn growing clubs are not new movements in this country. Their valuable results have been shown over and over again in the central and southern states. The only real, permanent progress in agriculture possible is through the education of the boys and girls of the country, and these crop growing contests, become real schools for agricultural education.

Colwell, Head of Domestic Science Department of West Virginia University. The apples should be rather tart, but if it is not possible to get them lemon juice may be substituted, using from a teaspoon to a tablespoon to each 2 lbs, or 1 quart, of apples. Pare quarter and slice apples and measure or weigh them. To each pound weight of apples allow one-third pound or one third quart of sugar. Kind of Dish in Which to Bake Apples. The flavor is much better if they can be baked in an earthenware dish. The baking dishes which are to be found in the market now with the white inside and the brown outside have the advantage that the fruit can be placed on the table in the dish in which it was cooked. If the earthenware is not available, use a granite dish. A dish that has a cover or can be covered gives a fruit with the richec eat flavor. Method of Cooking the Pruit If the dish in which the fruit is to be baked is first greased with a very little butter it will be found easier to clean. Place apples, sliced, in the dish. If it is desired to keep the fruit whole add the sugar and enough water to cover the fruit. Bake on an easestos lid in a moderate oven. The temperature should be such that the hand can be held in the oven very easily while counting twenty. Cover and allow to cook slowly until the apples are soft, removing the cover about ten minutes before the fruit is done. If it is desired to make apple sauce, that is to have the fruit cooked up, do not add the sugar until the fruit is soft, and use not more than half a cup of water to a quart, or two pounds of the fruit. Cook until soft with the cover cu and then add the sugar, stirring it in well, and cook for from five to ten minutes. Apple sauce cooked in this way has a flavor all its own, and the color is very rich, particularly when the fruit is cooked in the sugar. REVEREND O. HOEHNICKE'S VIEWS OF PROHIBITION. Rev. O. Hoehnicke, of Saginaw, Mich., in an address before the Michigan synod of the Evangelical Lutheran church on "Prohibition Viewed in the Light of the Holy Scriptures," said: "Correctly speaking, prohibition is nothing but a new attack upon the freedom of a Christian, inasmuch as through it a yoke is laid upon his neck, similar to the one from which he has been freed, and from which the Christian is in danger of losing his whole liberty." Anecdotal Literature BY W. G. A LARGE FEE BY W. G. Philander Knox was a diplomat long before he became Secretary of State. A good many years ago, he and Ex-President Harrison represented a group of big railroads in the middle West, in an extremely important case which they won. Two months later they met in New York, and referring to this case, Harrison said, with some pride, "Well, I charged those railroads $25,000, and got it." "I congratulate you," said Knox, "I charged them $125,000, and I also got it." 0 * * HIGH AND LOW. Senator Depow was entertaining one of the "Up-State" men in the House, and asked him: "What impresses you most in Washington?" "Two things," said the newcomer, "the number of high hats as compared with the number of low salaries in town." THE ILL NAMED CREEK. Before Mr. Taft was inaugurated, he took a trip to the mountains of West Virginia. One day he was driving along a ridge with a native as driver. When they reached a small stream, Mr. Taft asked its name. The native's reply was "Swum Creek." "What?" asked Taft. This time it sounded like "Swovel Creek." "Waal, some spell it one way, and some another, but in my judgment there are no proper way." THE YOUNGEST CHILD. Atwood, the aviator, was the guest of honor at a dinner in New York on the occasion of his recent record flight. His eloquent reply to a toast on aviation terminated thus: "The aeroplane has come at last, but it was a long time coming. We can imagine necessity, the mother of invention, looking up at a sky all crise crossed with flying machines, and then saying with a shake of her old head and a contented smile: "Of all my family, the aeroplane has been the hardest to raise." SUPREME SELF ESTERM. "I am afraid Higgins is a bit of an egotist" said a ready made philosopher. "Has he offended you?" "No; I offended him; I ventured to remark that nobody is perfect, and he took it as a personal slight." A son of Erin, having never seen a railroad train, was puzzled, when he landed in America, to see odd wagons running along without horses. Much perplexed and mystified, he could not conjecture how such wagons could speed along without horses. But he solved the mystery by saying: Begorra, I see now as it is roining, they put the horses inside. The Imperial Chinese Government is notering, and may fall at any time.

Jutele trne, STATE-WIDE LAWS AGAINST SALE OF INTOXICANTS CAN NOT BE ENFORCED. DEFIANCE OF THE DEALERS Few "Dry Spots" in the Cities of Five States - Public Opinion Stronger Than Legislative Statutes - Moon shining Tremendously Increased- Only in the small towns of the five state-wide prohibition commonwealths of the South do the prohibition laws work with any degree of success. Even in the small towns do "blind ligers" thrive. In the large cities the state-wide laws are as good as no laws, with the exception that in some of the cities, Atlanta, for instance dives of the lowest sort are not permitted to run. Saloons for the sale of beer, real beer, are wide open day and night in the big cities of the state-wide prohibition states. In some of these saloons been able and eager are sold exclusively. In others, Honors are sold as freely as if the saloons were Bezened for their sale. Moonshining has increased tremendously under state-wide prohibition; some drinking has increased; crime has increased, and the revenue of the cities have decreased tremendously. It is predicted that North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi will go back to local option in a few years. A Grit representative has gathered some intimate facts concerning the prohibition question in the South, which will be found in the following article: LAUGHING AT LAWS. [Written by Harvey E. Taylor.] Atlanta, Ga.—Prohibition of the liquor traffic has failed utterly in the Southern states which have in the past few years adopted state-wide prohibition. Atlanta has, the past two years, developed into the greatest beer drinking city in the South. Savannah and Macon, in this state, make no pretense whatsoever in obeying the law which forbids the sale of intoxicating beers and liquors. In North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi the same disregard of the state-wide prohibition laws may be found in greater or less degree. In Memphis saloons are running openly. In Atlanta beer saloons are making additional fortunes for the brewers of Milwaukee, Cincinnati and St. Louis. The making of moonshine whisky has increased over 500 per cent in the states which are supposed to be "dry," and an inadequate force of revenue officers is totally unable to keep pace with the makers of lliet whisky. The surplus of Georgia's great peach crop has been turned into peach brandy. The Government seized 1,000 gallons of this fiery liquor a few days ago. Some of the smaller cities of this state have become disgusted with the miserable near beer, and the authorities have intimated to the saloonkeepers not to sell the stuff any longer, but to give their patrons real beer. So great is the demand in the cities of Georgia for real beer that the outside browers flood the cities with green brews, highly bilious concoctions, which are far from being as palatable as properly aged beer. Of course, "blind tigers" do a thriving business in selling liquors, and the liquors they handle are as green as the beer the brewers send in from other states. While, therefore, there is practical license to sell in Georgia, the people, the consumers, are getting for their money the worst possible beers and liquors. Few "Dry" Spots. In order to drive a few additional spikes into the beer drinkers of Atlanta, most of the bars run strong ales on draught, and a mixture of half beer and half alo is a favorite drink of those who desire rather speedy alcoholic exhilaration. In Augusta the same conditions prevail, the wholesalers of that city sending out thousands of gallons of whisky weekly into other states, in addition to a great amount of liquor and beers sold by retailers. Legally "dry," all the large cities in Georgia are to all intents and purposes "wc." In Savannah liquors and mixed drinks made from liquors may be had at the most prominent bars in the city, which are running as openly as they ever ran before statewide prohibition was visited upon Georgia. In Atlanta, outside of the clubs, the liquor traffic is handled by "blind tigers" or "boottigers." Large quantities of it are handled, for detectives have found that great quantities of the staff come into the city regularly to persons other than the managers of the clubs, which cases are permitted to keep the liquor for their members. In the white and colored bars in the Atlanta townhouse, the saloonkeepers have on hand nearly wrapped packages of bottled beer which may be taken out to shady places by customers, although this is against the near beer law. In Memphis, Tenn., the liquor business is thriving, places for the sale of all sorts of alcoholic beverages keeping open all night, if the proprietors find it pays never to close their "booze" emporiums. The same may be said of Chattanooga, which once bad an excellent excise law, and Nashville which for a few months tried to obey the prohibition law, but which now has its wide-open saloons. Defy the Laws. In two years, therefore, large centers of population in five Southern DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT. Here's the Tale of a Man Who Has Hic Doubts. Sperred on by newspaper taunts, possibly, a plain-clothes man of the Atlanta police set out one day to detect violations of the Georgia prohibition law. On Decatur street he met an old negro whose appearance he considered "suspicious." "Say, uncle," he whispered with a wink, "do you know where I can get some whisky?" "I spee' maybe I kn git yer some ef yer gim me do money," replied the suspected one. "Well, here is a two-dollar bill," said the plain-clothes man. "I'll wait in the alley here. Now hurry back." "Yessah, boss, ef ye'll jen' hot dis box or shoes for me," and the police man had the box under his arm before he knew it, while the darkey shumbed off down the street, turning the first corner. "Thinking he was on a warm trail and would soon have an important prisoner and witness "with the good en," the sleuth waited in patience. An hour went by. He was getting tired. Two hours. Still no sign of the messenger. Weary and discouraged, he returned to the police station. Suddenly he remembered the shoes under his arm, and decided to have a look. The box contained, carefully wrapped, a full quart bottle of earwax. LIQUOR MEN LAUD MAYOR. Protective Association Sends Approving Resolutions to Harrison. Resolutions commending Mayor Harrison for his orders regarding the enforcement of the regulations governing the sale of liquor at retail in Chicago, were adopted by the Liquor Dealers' Protective association of Illinois, district of Cook county. The resolution says: "This action of Mayor Harrison is in accordance with the liquor dealers comprising the members of the organized saloonkeepers of Chicago. Resolved, That we, the Liquor Dealers' protective association of Chicago approve of the stand taken by the mayor of the city, and hereby pledge to him our aid and support in the maintenance of the high standard he has ordained shall govern the Chicago saloonkeepers." KANSAS NEWSPAPER RAILS AT FAKE PROHIBITION RAILS Wichita, Kan.—The Wichita, Kau, Beacon has grown tired of the fake prohibition rules that are being made on Kansas liquor joints. Many of these rules are pulled off for political effect. The R-acon, in its issue of Oct. 14th, said: Wichita has some right to expect from Gen. Dawson, Gov. Stubble and C. W. Trickett something more than a political clean up of the liquor situation. Wichita will not be satisfied with grand journs and will continue while the big journs remain unended. the redeemable state officials came here yesterday morning and it wasn't back until the word 'Find' have passed around that raids would be pulled off last night, but the consequence was that the official made a written hand. Several of the best towns in town were not raided. At these places they before yesterday beer and whiskey were served openly to patrons with their needs. One of these places ran wide open best Sunday. Two of them, have regular bar equipments. They were the widest open doors of wine to the town, yet the kingx-rays held in the apparently rainy Wichita for political purposes couldn't find the big places. They found the small ones, and they didn't find these until after the proprietors had ample time to remove their liquors. Until these gentlemen do better than the Wichita we have every right to believe they can be bought in Wichita as there never was as many places where liquor can be bought in Wichita as there are to-day. There are over 200 of them—or rather there were last Sunday. Those who know the real situation are reading of last night's grand stand raid or disguising that state, official or lend themselves to so palpable a fall. Dick in a Crowd. When a certain mild-mannered representative from a middle western state went to congress he left behind a body of constituents who fancied that great personal benefits would come to them through their powerful statesman. A farmer with political designs followed the great man to Washington. "Wash, Tom," a friend asked him on his return, "did you see Washington and Dick Blank, and did you get what you went after?" "Yes, I seen Washington, and I seen Dick Blank," he replied. "that Dick couldn't do nothing for me. He was having a hard time to keep from glitch' tromped on himself"—Success. ```markdown ``` for twenty-eight Years PIONEER PRESS Has been the leader in this State and Nation for the grand and noble Sight that is being waged for the amelioration of the condition of the Negro.
