The Pioneer Press

"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S EIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN" The Pioneer ESTABISHED 1882 Chicago Has A Man Among Men Mayor William Hale Thompson, of Chicago, is evidently as broadminded a man as he is big physically. In an address, last week, at the Half Century Exposition and Jubilee, in that city, he so ably defended his appointment of about one dozen Afro-Americans to positions, paying salaries ranging from $5,000 to $1200 a year, that he has about closed the months of his prejudiced and "pin-headed crities. O, for more men, particularly republicans, in public office, of his kind. What a tremendous influence they would exert against that miserable and contemptible barrier, race and color-prejudice! Said Mayor Thompson: "My reason for making such appointments were threefold: "1 Because the person appointed was qualified for the position. "2. Because in the name of humanity it is my duty to do what I can to elevate rather than degrade any class of American citizens. "3 Because I am under obligation to this people for their continued friendship and confidence while I have been in this community. "Criticisms such as these are un-American and have no place in this land of freedom and opportunity. If inquiry were made concerning the nativity of these critics it would probably be found that a number of them had come, or their immediate ancestors had come, to this country to escape tyranny and oppression in some foreign land of the free, and, having found it, would shut the door in the faces of others. "It comes with mighty poor grace from that white man or any of his descendants to say to the Colored man, 'You haven't any right here which I should respect.' "It is easy to understand the attitude of our own citizens of southern ancestry who feel obliged to denounce the Negro in order to justify the questionale acts of their forefathers, but such sentiments are entirely inexcusable when spoken by the chiidren of oppression from any place in the world." AMEN! Mr. Thompson, mayor of Chicago! Your three reasons are "unanswerable" and quite sufficient; your stamping your critics as un-American is excellent and correct; but your "solar-plexus blow" given your critics. "Chicago" southerners, is "a gem of the first water" and the one that, if given oftener, would do more to close their malicious "traps," in this section of the country than anything else. It is only that kind of efficacious TRUTH that silences them. More power to you and your kind, Mr. Mayor. May the good Lord bless you!—Cleveland (Ohio) Gazette. Edward Ford and John Joshua ran an elevator 35 times through smoke filled hallways to the top of the five-story building at 111 Summer street, Boston, during a $3,000 fire, and carried 100 persons, mostly working girls, to safety. Several girls fainted after reaching the street. Ford is the elevator boy, and Joshua, janitor, of the building. Cleveland Gazette. WHERE THE MAIDS WOO. Capturing a Husband In India Is an Ordeal at Times. It would be a great mistake to imagine that there are no countries where the bashful bachelor does not have to wait and be wooed. Is the Torres Straits islands, for instance, it is the height of bad form for a young man to make the first advances in wooing. Even after the preliminary steps, which consist of the exchange of bracelets, everything is not plain sailing. A girl sends a message to a young man to meet her, and if all goes well she urges him to name the day. When matters have gone as far as this it is no longer necessary for him to play the part of the modest violet, and he replies, "Tomorrow, if you wish." Then they go home and tell their relatives, who promptly celebrate the occasion by a general mlee. Among some of the rude tribes of India the woman's courtship is a less agreeable experience. If the man of her choice does not respond she takes a jar of rice beer and sits down in his house. The women of the family know what the rice beer means, and if they do not want the marriage to "come off" they are allowed to use any means short of personal violence to eject the fair wooer from their doors. They may put pepper in the fire, drench her with water, or load her with opprobious epithets, but to gain the man of her choice the lady has only to hold out for some two or three hours and the bridegroom is hers. — Detroit Free Press. INDIGO A CHOLERA CURE. Indigo is stated by J. P. Crumley, of Placerville, to be a cure for hog cholera; not only a preventative, but actually a cure. This was discovered by his father many years ago. The way it came about was like this. A horse had the bots badly and an old lady told Mr. Crumley, Sr., that a dose of indigo would cure the bots; this was tried and the indigo killed all the bots in the horse's stomach and he recovered entirely. A year or so later about 250 hogs were fattened on the Crumley ranch cholera got in, killing about half of them. No good treatment for cholera was known at that time and sooner than let them die the Crumleys decided to try the indigo to see if it would be as effective on hogs with the cholera as on a horse with the bots. The indigo not only checked the cholera, but cured the hogs that had it even when they were pretty far gone. Since then indigo has been used whenever cholera develops. Much of the time in California, and has always given the best results. It is stated that it has been excellent in preventing the cholera from entering a bunch of hogs, as well as curing it after it has started. Indigo is ground up into a powder fed in a mash at the rate of a teaspoonful or a little more a dose. Sometimes several doses are necessary and the cure results in only three or four days. When a hog is sick that he cannot eat, the indigo can be dissolved in water and given by means of a bottle. Madras Indigo should be used, it comes in square sticks, is cheap, and can be bought at all druggists.—Spirit of Jefferson. SATURDAY Quit Deriding Yoursolves Don't be a "nigger." Don't dub other people as "niggers." You don't know what it means—and nobody else. Those who use it are about as near a definition for it as we can conceive. The white man who uses it is about as much a "nigger" as the "nigger" be "niggers." So? And a Negro who "niggers" a Negro is less than a white man who "niggers" a Negro, because the Negro is "niggering" his own. Whatever estimate you place upon yourself that's you. People are not in the habit of valuing things above market price, and market prices are generally placed upon goods in proportion as needed. Again, large, showy apples bring better prices than small ones, however good the little ones may be. So there is something in appearance. People want good-looking things. Put a proper estimate upon yourself. Be a high-priced article. If "nigger" brand is supposed to be inferior, do away with it yourself and that will help others do away it. You can't be any more than what you are, you know; and what you are to a large extent is in your hands unless you're in jail. Let's cut out "nigger," whatever that is. If you don't do it—listen—you're a nigger—whatever that is. See us? Hope so.—Nashville News. WEAVING FINEST SILK Orient and Occident have both paid tribute to the spell of that soft, clinging fabric - silk. Kings and princes have decked themselves with its richness. From the farthest point of the earth it has been brought as spoil. Queens and princesses have held it the only fitting material to show their regal state. Imitated or cheaply woven, it may be had today by the masses, but there have been wonderful "poems in silk" from the weaver's loom that have brought as high as $75 a yard. Though catering to the needs of those of high estate, silk really is of low origin. Silk weaving is one of the oldest crafts. Mulberry leaves on Mt. Lebanon have fed the tiny silk worms, and primitive women in Syria for ages back have aided in preparing the cocoons for the fabric deemed far too elegant for them to wear, says the Detroit Tribune. In Syria even today the peasant women stand hour after hour in the largest silk-reeling mill watching the boiling cocoons until the fiber end is loosened. The hot water softens the natural gum in the silk and allows it to be wound off. The silk filaments gathered from the cocoons are then passed through glass eyes to form a thread, and very primitive tools wind and weld five of the tiny raw silk threads into one. Some of the finest silk, however, is woven right in Syria. The Arab weavers do not work in the most improved, up-to-date methods, but they are hereditary craftsmen and Press. make a wonderful job of what they do. Theirs is an occupation which is an art to them, into which they put the best of their efforts. And so, despite the primitive means employed in its manufacture, some of the silk that comes from their looms is the most costly on the market. NATURE AS A DESIGNER If You Need a Model of Equilibrium Study the lambaroo. There was a certain college professor of machine design who was as original in his views as he was able in his subject. One of his pet theories was the interrelation between nature and correct design. "Boys," he would say, "there has been only one designer who never made a mistake, and the more we study his work the better machines we will build. When you put legs under a machine think of a horse or a cow, and get them as far apart as you can. Don't get too much overlapping at either end. "And, speaking of a counterbalance, study the kangaroo. There is no pretier example of equilibrium in all positions. The further over he leans the more his tail comes into action off the ground. And again, in speaking of general design, wherever possible, try to work for elasticity as against rigidity. You find very little of the rigid in nature, and little trees often survive a gale by bending, where big ones are blown down." All of which was undoubtedly very true, and made more of an impression on his hearers than some of the more complicated mathematical demonstrations that followed.—John H. Van Deventer in Engineering Magazine. Seemingly it would be impossible to add a new note to the awful thronody of a war that has enguled a world in mourning. One would think that all the depths of horror had been sounded and nothing remained to divulge. But it has remained for a woman, Mrs. Philip Snowden, wife of a member of the British parliament, who has come to the Woman's Peace Congress, to call attention to a particular spectacle of the battlefield - one which appeals with special force to women's sympathies. "It is not the shriek of the wounded as they fell," she says. "It is not the sight of the dead as they lie there, but it is the cry of the wounded boys calling for their mothers, and there is no one to do anything for them. They are the boys of sixteen and seventeen and even younger. They may say 'mother' or 'mutter,' but in their agony all those boys call for the one who has given them the greatest care all their lives." This is one side of the picture only. Let us look to the other side. What of the torture-torn mothers who have sent their precious sons into the hell of war. Each mothers heart beats with a dull dread lest her boy is lying mangled and bleeding and calling aloud in the red torment of a dying hour for that "mother" on whom his last coherent thoughts dwell. Out of the dread silence of the night the mothers of men must hear the call of their children, of the beings to whom they have bestowed the most divine human affections - material love. -- Kansas City Journal.

This Man Takes Broad Ground A writer in "Liberty" published quarterly in Washington, D. C., under the caption, "The Inalienable Rights of Man," presents some incontrovertible facts, viz: "Governments were ordained to protect the natural rights of men and not to deprive any man of his rights. An upright, honest citizen should enjoy equal rights with every other citizen, irrespective of numbers, age, or color, before the law of the land. Equality, or rights is the first of rights, and in the sight of the law there should be no respecter of persons, whether he be king or pope, nobleman or pessant, rich or poor, Christian, Jew, or infidel, red, white or black. The right of choice is divine, and every man should be protected in its free exercise so long as the exercise of his choice does not interfere with the equal rights of his neighbor." Frigga, from whom Friday is derived, was either a god or a goddess, according to time and country. As a man he was a great hunter and warrior, always represented with a drawn sword in one hand and a bow in the other. In the Scandinavian countries Frigga was called the "Vents of the North," and the sixth day of the week was consecrated to her worship.—London Mail. WHAT EUROPEAN CAVALRY HORSES CARRY Cavalry are playing an unexpectedly large part in the war, and the weight carried by cavalry horses in the various armies of interest. The British cavalry is armed with the short Lee Enfield rifle, the magazine of which holds ten rounds; the sword, which is carried by all ranks except signalers and the revolver, carried by warrant officers, staff sergeants, trumpeters and drivers. Each trooper carries 100 rounds of ammunition in a bandolover the left shoulder. Cancer regiments carry the horse. Each cavalrymen (like the British man) carries an emergency and firetron' ration and a ration for his horse. Then here is the kit. Altogether the British troop horse carries about two hundred and eighty pounds. The regular Russian cavalry are armed with sword, rifle and bayonet, and each man carries 40 rounds of ammunitions. There are the two days' oats and hay ration, a cloak, and an entrenching tool. The cavalryman's kit, two days' rations, spare horse shoes, horse blanket, canvas bucket, and a messin go to form the complete equipment, and weigh altogether about one hundred and nineteen pounds. The Cossack pony carries about two hundred and thirty eight pounds. The average weight carried by the Indian troop horse when ready for war is about two hundred and sixty-six pounds. The Austrian troopers carry a weight between two hundred and eighty and two hundred and eighty-six pounds, and the averags in the French and German armies is about the same. Manchester Guardian. Friaga. Entered in Post Office at Martinsburg, W. Va. as Second Class Matter. J. K. Clifford, Editor and Proprietor, Drawer 869, and Bell 'Phone 60K, Martinsburg, W. Va. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1915. It is high time now to begin to look into the South's nominating delegations, for all they can do is to force candidates on us then go home and stay home on election day in November. You may bulldoze part of the people part of the time, but you can't bulldoze all of the people all the time; and next year will prove it, for there'll be no congratulatory telegrams — "Dear George." Great men always make room for their kind, but sapsucker's business is to always be in the way—step over them, and keep on going, not depending on the Lord for "daily bread," but for daily work—that's what it means. If by freezing legs or arms by ether changes black skins to white ones, is it not self evident that heat caused the pigment that blackens the skins of the human family. By freezing in the extreme North every living thing is white, but as you travel to the center of the earth everything by degrees gets darker till the blackest can be seen anywhere. The Deanship as to the age in newspaper work has been jocularly discussed by Editors Smith and Clifford, but since it is taking on a serious aspect, reminding us of the best and only tests of so many christians lies in the number of years they have been in church, we withdraw from any further discussion and only want to be numbered with those who enter the field of labor at the eleventh hour, and at the eventide of life have the Saviour's approval with: "Well done thou good and faithful servant." The Yearly Meeting held in the Dudley Baptist Church 17-20 of last month, was, viewed from all anglss, the best that has been held here for the past thirty years. Indeed it recalled those goneby days of duty well done-crowned with grace and glory. Like the old soldiers, the old preachers are few and far between, but the places of those gone are being filled by the J. W. Ware type and that means power for good. Rev. W. P. Fisher, the noted historian always has a store house of good things to talk about. Their three days meeting was well attended and harmony prevailed. The Grand Army of the Republic that in May 1865, then two hundred thousand strong, marched through the streets of Washington, reviewed by President Johnson, the saviors of freedom, right and liberty. Last Monday-50 years since then, the old warriors met in the same city—their capitol—and on Wednesday formed a line of march and took complete possession of Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House. It was sublimely patriotic, viewed not only by the president and hundreds of thousands of on- lookers, but the frontiers of glory were lined with angels-center pieced with Lincoln. Never was as many tear-stained cheeks caused by an American parade. Twenty odd thousand of the 200,000 fifty years ago, is safe guessing of the vets who reunited in Washington this week. It is claimed, owing to infirmities and old age this will be the last parade. Hope not. As long as an old soldier lives a parade should go on somewhere, and if he can't walk, let him be hauled as the Nation's guest. And when he has answered the last bugle call, the sons and daughters of these old heroes should keep up annual meetings of the Grandest Army of the Republic forever. Sterilization has become a law in the State of New York, and four other states have similar laws, with Pennsylvania making it obligatory for contracting parties in matrimony, to furnish clean bills of pure blood. It is, and has, for thirty years, been our remedy for rape, and to redeem mankind and lift it up as nothing else can, every state in the Union should fall in line with New York and the other states. It has made stock the world over what it is in pure blood and high prices, and it can and will make better children to grow better men and women. As a nation, we need no stock of consummate loafers, for they only become almshouse burdens and polluters of their betters blood. The knife should not only be used on all rapists, but the letter R. burnt on their foreheads and turned loose. When first we advocated sterilization thirty odd years ago, we were severely condemned, but not so now. Let the good work go on, for as sure as justice is right, the free toleration of degeneracy on this line has done more to curse humanity the world over, than all the other evils that can be named. It is strange how some public men forget their past doings and failures, and will say and suggest things that make them ride two horses at one time. As strenuous an advocate of prohibition as Mr. Bryan makes it appear. He says: "I hope that national prohibition will not be an issue in the campaign of 1916." Inasmuch as he praises the Democratic party for doing so much for prohibition, why not urge it to boldly advocate prohibition in 1916? It looks to us like Mr. Bryan is playing a game of "hide and seek." Has Mr. Bryan forgotten the dual part he advocated when his party was so vastly divided on the gold question? The Democrats of Kentucky have declared against state-wide prohibition by over forty thousand plurality, and the credit for it is given to a letter President Wilson wrote against state-wide and nation-wide prohibition. In keeping with the President's letter, the world's great editor—Henry Watterson said: "No democrat can be a prohibition." The truth is, that Mr. Bryan hopes—and will long as he lives—to be president and will lay aside the prohibition issue until after the coming election. Mr. Bryan stands as much chance to be president as Fred. O. Blue does Governor of West Virginia. Both recall the shipped jackass that kick itself to death coming over the ocean. Nothing the whiskey people have done, has done them as much good as Fred. O. Blue's jackassical doings have. If put to a vote, West Virginia would give eighty thousand majority against his kind of prohibition. MY OWN Sung with Great Success by "LILLIAN RUSSELL" At The New Brighton Theatre. 1.

"The other day I inquired of a major league manager what class of young men he wanted for his team," writes Hugh S. Fullerton in Farm and Fireside. "Give me the farmer," he replied instantly. "The chances for his falling victim to the temptations of baseball are fewer. He may not be as well posted as to city ways, but in one season you cannot tell the difference. They come larger, stronger, live cleaner and think more clearly than city boys do. Besides, the majority of them have the right idea in view. They want to get money to buy a farm. "Twenty, yes, ten years ago the major league baseball teams were recruited almost entirely from the larger cities. Cincinnati led in production for years, then Boston, then St. Louis. A dozen years ago 50 per cent of the major league, players hailed from New England and from the Atlantic states. Now more than 60 per cent of all major league players come from farms or from small villages, and the farms produce a greater number of good players than come from any other place. "Rube Waddell, Rube Marquard, Rube Ellis, Rube Benton—a score of rubes have shows in major league baseball, and their nickname once was one of ridicule. Not now. Managers of major league baseball teams are looking for rubes, and when they say Rube they mean, not the uncouth or the awkward recruit, but the clean cut, clean living boy from the farm." waiting for my darling, And sweet nature's ten der thro' your tress - es glance - ing, Gold - en gleams the sun - light star - ling's voice so thrill - ing, Of the music of each get the mur - m'ring riv - er, And the breeze - swept wil - low's hush; Brok - en by the voice of star - ling, Makes the flow'rs with rapt - ure fair; Pur - er, bright - er gold is dance - ing In the mesh - es of her tone; That my heart, my be - ing fill - ing, Tells me she is all my sigh; Flow'r and song-sters trill and quiv - er, She's my own, and her's am blush. hair. own.
