Ill., Aug. 30—Edgar B. Brown, Indiana's bronze player through national tennis champion, romped three thrilling sets on the courts of the Prairie Tennis court afternoon, and retained his title by defeating E.

He won the winning game against another remarkable player and the goal of a mob of spectators opposed to him. Saitch, defended Brown in Philadelphia, was expected to turn the man. Brown's flash Saturday made the challenger's foray look like a fluke. In five city contestants, the two states, the East Ward, were entered in for the Army Tournament, the South Park, the day, Tuesday, the day, play went off a flame. The South Park permitted the Association to public parks to catch play, the first time such was ever given to the group. The stands were operations during the end of play. Saitch, Brown, was provided for that came to see the fi- The champion showed to his best advantage in the second set, the point score of 25-17 indicating the speed with which the set was run. The set was netting often and his placements and the spectators began to concede the move to the Hoosier and to lose faith in the youngster. In the third and deciding set Saitch fought all the way. Neither man was tired and each used all the strategy known to him. The set was replete with deuce games. Brown had started to end it quickly. The wocker declared no, and fought with a permutation that caused the onlookers to mavel. He played the champion in pinches of the early games. In the rallies he win, Brown being forced to chase from side to side of his back court, fore and aft, to keep up with the seemingly impossible returns of the challenger. He led until the fifth game when Saitch tied him and from then on it was first one and then the other in the lead until the 20th game had been won by Brown, and the set 11-9. He received an ovation as he jumped the net to shake hands with the defeated challenger. Cups won by the various players and combinations included the following; By Brown, second leg on Rhetta cup, second leg on Roosevelt State Bank cup, first leg on Liberty tent trophy from the Prairie Tennis club; By Miss Channels-Chicago Defender trophy, permanent; second leg on McCard cup, first leg on Ziff cup, and a permanent trophy from the Prairie Tennis club; Saitch and Wade, mixed doubles, two cups; Emma Leonard and Griff and E.

Aug. 30.—Involving the state law against prize fights, the police Friday night called off the four round bout between Sam Langford, Boston heavyweight, and Rocco Stramalgia, scheduled for the Madison Square arena. Before the match was canceled "all available police" had been rushed to the arena, where a riot was reported in progress by a large number of persons who had purchased tickets, but who said they had been refused admittance because there were no seats for them. The ticket purchasers threw stones and eventually stormed the arena and tore down part of one of its outside walls. involved fifty contestants in twenty states, the East West, were entered in the Annual Tournament of American Tennis Association, for one day each, and the play went off. The South Park permitted the Association to public parks to catch play, the first time such event ever been given to a group. The stands were operated during the day of play. Sunscreen had to be provided for the come to see the fights. Leah Channels, national champion of Chicago, deserves Stella Wade, the New Zealander, in straight sets.

Wills to face Dempsey, and the only man who will not be afraid of the Utah man. Gon It looks very much as though the long looked for and ardently hoped for Harry Wills-Jack Dempsey fight will be pulled off after all. News dispatches say that Tex Rickard; the man who all along has stood in the way of the fight until such time as he could handle it himself, has about sewed things up for the staging of the fight in Connecticut; just a short ways form New York City. Public opinion in the east has taken on a new lease of life regarding this fight; once Paddy Mullins, the sleepy manager of Wills, began to show his teeth. Mullins has been literally fighting the autocratic powers that be in New York, and has crystallized a strong newspaper sentiment behind him and his plea in behalf of Wills. If Rickard consents to get behind the fight it will come off all right, for the simple reason that Tex is politician enough to have the ways greased before "announcing." The opinion has been general for some time that more than a passing understanding existed between the wily Tex, Dempsey and Kearns regarding the Wills fight. Neither of the three has ever doubted the power of the attraction at the box office. It is believed by all well informed men on the subject that it was a question, thoroughly understood between the three, to squeeze every lemon in sight before taking a chance on a man who appeared to be labeled "Dangerous." Wills will be the very best man yet to face Dempsey, and the only man whom the champion has faced, who will not be afraid of the Utah mauler. Gong!

Something akin to the days of Howard Drew, Irving Howe, Roy Morse, Harry Martin and Sol Butler. De Hart Hubbard, Ned Gourdin, Alfred Washington and R. Earl Johnson will be on hand to carry the colors of the race on to honor and glory. When all is considered it is wondered why the southern colleges don't take a greater interest in track athletics with a view of winning laurels in the classic of the A.

Of course, a black sheep will get in now and then, but the lofty spirit of the A. A. U. of fair competition dominates the entire organization. No Tex Rickards here. With the coming of the Fall season, the minds of the baseball fans turn naturally to the thoughts of the world's series. It was generally predicted last spring when the Eastern Association of colored clubs was formed that a possibility existed of an all-colored world series between the winners of the laurels of the two circuits. Several stories have appeared in various colored papers trying to urge on the series. It would be a good attraction and would do a lot for colored baseball. The fans want it and should get what they need, inasmuch as they pay the freight. But it seems as though the supporters of the colored world's series idea have reckoned without their hosts. We refer to Andrew "Rube" Foster, president of the Western circuit. It seems that as soon as Mr. Foster heard of the proposition, he immediately called that and decreed No Series. With Hillard's advice, it fell east. It was clear that person could compete with matters affecting colored baseball that Foster not be the means of affording any revenue to Bolden and Bolden's baseball interests. It must come in time, but according to Foster that time is not now.

If he can fight, which many experts doubt, he should be able to get a very few good matches. Had he the common sense to have taken care of the real deal, and the champion to win, he would be well beaten in New York. But, like the Jack Johnson of France, he is, immediately after winning a chance to earn a fortune, he forthwith proceeded to see how much of a jackass of himself he could make—and succeeded with a bang. Tex Rickard might give him a try with Mike McTigue or Kid Norfolk; he might win from the former provided he has any ability, but the Norfolk gentleman is another proposition. Former Harvard Star to Come Out of Retirement While "Earl" Will. Protect 5-Mile Honor—Michigan Athlete Expected to Furnish Stiff Opposition. CHIAGO, Ill., Aug. 90—Athletes of national and international prominence, American and intercollegiate champions forming one of the greatest gatherings of stars ever held in Chicago, will be hire this week to compete in the National A.

Struggle for U. S. Titles. Notable is the athletes strive to gain recognition from the committee which will have charge of selecting the American team which will compete in the Olympic games in France next summer, but they will struggle for the undisputed American championship in their respective events. In most cases starts are held in New York, of games held at Newark last year will be on hand to defend their honors, but they will meet with stiff competition by many who have shown-vast improvement in the last year. This year's championship meet has known athletes to come out of retirement. Among these is E. O. Gourdin, the former Harvard athlete, who holds the world's record in the running broad jump at 25 feet 3 inches. Gourdin, however, will meet with stiff competition from De Hart Hubbard, the dusky skimming athlete who competes within an inch of breaking Gourdin's record. R. E. Johnson, of Pittsburgh, will be in Chicago early this week to resume training for the five-mile run. Johnson won the championship last year and in the east is regarded as the best man over distance. He was the first warmth hurdler, who won the title last year, will not be eligible for this year's meet. Earl has turned professional, and a number of well-known timber toppers are entered to fight it out for the vacant title. De R. Hubbard, of the University of Chicago, will be a sure contest in the running broad jump, which he won in last year's championships. Norfolk Forces Jackson to Quit BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 30. — The bout between Kid Norfolk, light heavyweight, and Tut Jackson, of Washington Court House, O., fame, was stopped in the third round here Saturday night to save Jackson from further punishment. Jackson was floored four times in the second-round and twice in the third before the fight was stopped. Norfolk welged 184 pounds and Jackson welged 194 pounds.

A. club humbled the All-Americans for the second time here Sunday, when sensational fielding behind the crafty pitching of Jenkins, local 'ace', held the visiting club to run, while the home lads were piling up five runs off eleven safe clouts. A misjudged fly ball in the outfield prevented Jenkins from obtaining a shut out. Score by innings: R.H.E. All Americans. 000 000 010—5-12 C. M. A.

Vau, Aug. 30.—If Jack Johnson come to Mingo on Labor Day to participate in the boxing match for which he has been engaged by a local athletic club he "will be run into the river" by the Ku Klux Klan, the authorities were informed today. The latter are now quietly making preparations to give Jack all the protection possible within their means, which is considered sufficiently strong to prevent the Klansmen from carrying out their threat. University of Chicago Sprinter Declared To Be Faster Than Chas. Paddock DETROIT, Aug. 30.—Albert Washington, the University of Chicago spinner, who ran 100 yards in 9.4 seconds in the Central A. A. U. grandes staged at Detroit last week, is considered the fastest runner in the world today by Tom Ecky veteran trainer of the Maroon track team. Eck believes Washington is faster, from 50 to 100 yards than is even Charles Paddock, holder of world's sprinting records. Washington is the only spinner to run 100 yards against the wind in 9.4 seconds. He has done this twice, once in Chicago and again in the Central meet. Such time against the wind is the equivalent to about 9.5-10 seconds under ideal conditions. The Chicago spinner holds records for 60 yards of 5 2-5 seconds and of 7 1-5 seconds for 70 yards. and of 7-1-5 seconds for 79 yards. Washington gets the most out-of his speed through his ideal form which is far superior to that of Paddock and other star sprinters. He is entered in the national championships at Stage Field, Chicago, the latter part of this month and is just about certain of winning the national 100-yard crown.

SEVEN Why Wills Hangs On To His Manager (Here is Harry-Will's reason for over the Dempsey bump,) he can put over the Dempsey bump,) he can put Auto News Service) Several years back when he was broke flat, he was forced to job and when an addition to the family necessitated home, money, Harry Wills found a friend in need in "Old Paddy" Mullins, white. Without asking for collateral, Mullins advanced several loans to get him over the tight places and he told the big colored fighter who is now challenging Jack Dempsey that he could pay it back when he get it and he need not be in a huff to get it. For that reason, Harry Wills is stalking the Paddy Mullins and insisting that Paddy get the manager's cut of the purse that he may get for the championship. Now the wolves of Broadway are tumbling over each other trying to steal Wills away from his friend and manager. They point out that Paddy is a man of the old school who considers his word as good in words of others as the same. They argue that Paddy is too easy and that if Wills has an aggressive manager, he would have a shot at the title before this and would be "better off by about a quarter of a million." To which Wills replies: "Paddy and I are going right along together. He suits me. Wills has never told me any of his words back to Paddy and 'Old Paddy' never talks, but a friend of the big colored stewards says that Wills will never cut away from the man who put a hand out to him when he needed money more than he ever will again. is fully stored with a full line of DRUGS that the cases of a freat call can be handled by the physician and acily what my patients get and am certain as to their purity and strength.

RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 30.—An echo of the case of John Mitchell, Jr., was heard in City Hall Wednesday, when Mitchell and his counsel appeared in Chancery Court to observe proceedings, having labored under the impression that interested persons might file a petition with Judge W.

No such step was taken, however, and Mitchell and his legal aid,adorist of Mitchell, made of Mitchell's property is now in the hands of the court to be utilized in straightening out the affairs of the Mechanics' Savings Bank, of which Mitchell was president.

He had previously paid off his rent and guano bill, and cotton was selling around twenty-five cents, so the Negro said to the landlord, "Boss, here are two bales of cotton I bought to pay up my account. I had a hard time getting it up, so figure up and see how we stand." After running over the figures, he said to the Negro, "Well, by jove, we are even. I don't love you nothing and you don't owe me anything." The Negro said "Boss, are you sure you are right?" "Oh, yes," said the landlord, "my figures are correct." So the Negro said, "Well Boss, I am going down the the Street, and I'll be back after a while. You go over them figures again and be sure you are right." So the Negro went down street and returned in about an hour with another colored man, and said to the landlord, "Did you go back over them figures?" He said, "Yes, and we are even." So the Negro said, "I am glad I am out of debt one time. The well, I scratched me about two, and three bales in the field to buy my family some winter clothes." The landlord said to him. "Why in the hell did not you tell me you had some more cotton at home? Now I must go all over my figures again."

"If I didn't, how could I economize on the left-overs?" *** "I think that children are not as observing as they should be," said the inspector to the teacher. "I hadn't noticed it," replied the teacher. "Well, I'll prove it to you;" and turning to the class the inspector said: "Some one give me a number." "Thirty-seven," said a little boy eagerly. The inspector wrote 73 on the board, and nothing was said. "Will some one else give me a number?" "Fifty-two," said another lad. The inspector wrote down 25 on the board, and smiled at the teacher. He called for another number, and young Jackcalled out: "Seventy-seven, now see if you can change that!" THE PITTSBURGH COURIER SAMBO SIMS—He Loses a Friend IT IS GREAT TO MEET AN OLD FRIEND!

THREE LITTLE PIGS (A Short Story for the Kiddies) There once was a mother pig who had three children, and she called them Spotty, Whitey and Curley. She called them to her one day and said, "Children, I want you to go out into the world and earn your living." Her children were well-behave little pigs and always did as they were told. The next morning they all set out in different directions. Spotty soon found a pile of pretty, yellow straw, and he quickly built him a house out of it, but no sooner was it built than a big wolf came along and said to Spotty, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." "Little pig, little pig in." "No, no, by the hany-chin-chin" replied I'll huff and I'll pull your house in," cried after he had done so the second little pig. Curley was a wist did not build a house found a pile of brick built a brick house. Wolf came along and blow in his house. Cur him, because he knew could not do it. Wolf soaled, but "No, no, by the hair on your chinny-chin-chin," said Spotty. The wolf was very angry. He wanted to go in and eat up the little pig, because he was a bad wolf, and he also was hungry. "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in," he answered. After he had huffed and puffed for a few minutes the house fell in and he gobbled up the little pig. Whitey had not gone far from home before he found a pile of shingles. With these he built himself a house. It was not long before the wolf came along and said to him. "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." "No, no, by the hair on your chinny-chin-chin," replied Whitey. "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in," cried the wolf. And after he had done so, he gobbled up the second little pig. Curley was a wise little pig. He did not build a house until he had found a pile of bricks, and then he built a brick house. When the bad wolf came along and threatened to blow in his house, Curley laughed at him, because he knew that the wolf could not do it. This made the wolf real angry, but he said in his gentlest voice, "I know where there is a nice field of turnips, little pig." "Where?" asked Curley. "Over in Farmer Brown's field," answered the wolf. "I will call for you to tomorrow morning, and we shall go at six o'clock the next morning when the wolf called at Curley's house, Curley had already gone to-the-field, got the turnips and was back home again safe and sound. "That was a good joke on me," said the wolf—although he was really very angry. "Tomorrow-morning I will call at fire glocks, and we PROSPERITY! HOW. BOUT PAYING THOSE GREEN. BACKS, YOU, OWE ME? Kiddies lies KIDDIE shall go together to Farmar Jones' field to get some apples." At four o'clock the little pig started for the field in hopes that he would get home again before the wolf arrived, but the wolf also started early and when he reached the field he found that Curley was still up in the apple tree picking apples. The little pig was terribly frightened, but he said to the wolf as bravely as he could, "I will throw you down a nice, big red apple." While the wolf was picking up the apple that had been thrown to him, Curley climbed down out of the tree and ran home, and by the time the horrid wolf reached the door, the little pig had locked it. "Then I'll climb down the chimney," and the wolf climbed up onto the roof. But the little pig was ready for him for he had set a kettle of boiling water in the fireplace. When the wolf climbed down the chimney he landed in the kettle of boiling water. Of course, Curley put the cover right on so that the wolf couldn't get out, and that night he had a bowl of nice, hot wolf soup for his supper.

'Superman' To Man" (Copyright, Kelly Newspaper Feature Service) Author of "Blood-Money" and Other Stories SYNOPSIS Dixon, a World War veteran and College man, is a Pullman writer on the California Limited. He is spending his spare time reading Finot's *Face Prejudice*, when he is interviewed a passenger in a train. He is talking later. He later is a Southern Senator, also a passenger on the train, his "fine taste for books", and is forced to agree with him that the races are not equal. Fifth Installment Dixon appeared far from being intimidated. Indeed, he was secretly amused. Carefully repressing his mirth, he asked with sprightly ingeniousness: "In what particular, sir?" The Senator, it appears, had not foreseen an analysis in question, for he stammered: "Oh, you know very well what I mean. I mean—well well—do you feel you are the equal of a white man?" "Your question has answered itself," responded Dixon. In what way? /if I could tell how a man make the comparison, then I mean that I, a Negro, have just feelings as a white man." Respense. Silence, except for reading of the train. After a pause Dixon continued; "Since your question implies—I must be in me as a standard by which I believe that any white man myself is endeavoring the most thing is as good a man. And more, sir," he added of gentle remonstrance, question has been most unimportant to yourself, for in whether I consider myself as a white man, you are sure that all white man's name of reputation, are alike." Stander appeared, the man constant ever. His face flushed when he admitted not to be beaten, but he denied not to be beaten, due to the charge, he began in intelligence and domineering tone: all you were horn in Ala- My father was a slaye, wasn't my grandmother, sir," corrected finally. What I want to get at is you, the descendant of a cousin yourself the social of a white man, who has al- lain free and who owned your cocktail?" And he finished with: "Come on, now; no more around the bus." died to accept his mean- tion that implied a perfect understanding he began: "Of this, this is a matter that covers our country and and so I feel that we two we calmly and without the trouble of hearing tone he explained; but as I was in a part of the where a white skin is defied that one illified, candidly, in which I did believe that there something about the white man him superior to me. But, until for me, I have traveled that carefully. I once work- ed on the problem, and I visited the prin- tature of the world. In one where I lived six times see a dark face. Liv- er occasionally among whites I have accepted for differences simply in environment, my many essentially the same as I did. What struck me was the univer- sity. European- men possessed, so far as the same tempera- tion class for class, as my position on me a rare op- portunity to observe, in all kinds and if there is any I have failed to find the years of rather care- ment. It is needless to say, the days of superiority and periment or texture in long ago." He demanded information: "But what the Negro has been drawn of history, say of synonyms and forms of A black skin slavery of servitude, slavery a sign of inferiority." The slave is of slaves, the Senator's in- determined to surrender. He replied that exasperated range as it Cantonian. The vast ma- teries are today in- and mentally saw. But if we literally all, or of the white have been slaves and sold to the Romans. Past and present and ugliest British, Palgrave, Britain, says of the The Theoew was entirely master—body like the Negro, he lives stock, ranking with the beasts of persisted in sixteenth century Anglo-Saxon permitted to since it was con- was the prop- ersions Serfidion was not abolished in Prussia until 1807 and in Austria until 1848. Even here there were Irish persons were slaves. There were Irish slaves in New England." "Irish slaves in New England?" echoed the other in scornful surprise. "Yes, sir, Irish men and women were slaves in New England, being sold like black slaves and treated not a whit better. Many of the most socially prominent in America have slave ancestors. Lincoln's ancestors were white slaves. According to Prof. Cigrand, Grover Cleveland's great-grandfather, Richard Falley, were slaves in Connecticut. There were no white slaves in Virginia. Black and white slaves used to work together in the fields in Barbados. Indeed, it would be quite possible to find white persons living in this country who were born in actual slavery, such having come from Russia, where slavery was abolished the same year our Emancipation Proclamation was signed. I refer you to Wallace's 'Russia'. At this point, the white women on sale in the Turkish and Moroccan markets, where anyone, Negroes included, may buy them. Hence, you see, sir, the white man has no special advantage over the black in the matter of slavery." Dixon paused a moment, then added: "But I should think that the stigma attached to slavery would be more justly placed on the descendants of slaveholders than on the offspring of slaves. Is it not the kidnapper, and not the kidnapped, who is the odious one? With all deference to your parentage, my opinion is that slaveholders were members of the most pernicious kind." The Senator glared angrily at the porter. He was exasperated at the argument, but saw no way of getting out of it. He arose hastily, stopped, paced the smoker, then resumed his seat. After a few moments he insisted: "But the Negro himself acknowledges his racial inferiority. Just look how he bleaches his skin, straighten his hair, and uses other devices to appear like the white man! isn't that a sign of inferiority? Imitation is acknowledgment of stupefaction. Do you know any race thus imitating the looks of the white man? I can't imagine a more conical sight than a Negro dandy with his hair all ironed out until it looks like the quills upon the fretful porcupine. Imagine a white man darkening himself to look like a Negro. Then he hears him shamed of himself. If he believes himself the equal to the white man, his actions certainly do not show it." Dixon started. He had never looked at this matter in this light before. Now he pondered his reply. The passenger noted his silence with a smile of satisfaction. Dixon found his response. Dixon boasts that Negroes who 'doctor' themselves to appear white do acknowledge inferiority. I have always held that one's hair or color of skin is as perfect as nature can make them—so perfect that to tamper with either is the surest way of spoiling them eventually." "So much the worse for the black man, then," retorted the passenger, sarcastically, "that he should try to ape a race below him. He is just inferior, that's all. The best job is that he acknowledges it himself, that he acknowledges his faults, don't you believe him?" "Indeed, sir, retorted Dixon. "If is clearly the fault of the average white that these so-called Negroes should try to be other than they are. In a country where a drop of Negro blood more or less visible, kink, more or less unhealed, in the air, will altogether change the extent of one's life, what can you expect?" Dixon paused an instant, then continued: "I will give you an instance. Two brothers, intimately known to me, arrived in New York from abroad. The hair of one brother did not indicate Negro extraction, that of the other did. The other haired one obtained position commensurate with its ability. Incidentally, he went South and married white woman. The other, the better educated and more gentlemanly of the two, too many for subfurge, after fruitless endeavor had to take a porter's job. He finally went back home in disgust." Dixon added reflectively: "Also do not forget that if certain Negroes iron their curly hair to make it straight, certain whites also iron their straight hair to make it curly. The whites also, by bleaching their complexion and hair, wearing false By J. A. Rogers Lives Several Hours After Pulse Stops STRATFORD, Ont., Aug. 30—(By the Associated Press)—Physicians announced today that seven-year-old Jack R. Leanne (white) had lied for several hours after his pulse had stopped. A high stimulant was used when life apparently was extinct. Fort two hours there was no sign of life. Then the pulse commenced to beat again, and he lived for five hours. He has been suffering from acute bone inflammation. hair and the like, make a false show, too. Don't they? Whose superiority is the aping then? The passenger shifted in his seat uncomfortably. After a few moments he responded, a shade less confidently, but with greater bluster: "What about this, then: The Negro shows no originality, not. even so far as contemptuous epithets are concerned. The white man calls the Negro 'nigger' and yet the Negro accepts it even to the length of calling himself so. Fancy a white man calling himself by a name given to him by Negroes! The Negro is a mimic. He has the same amount of reasoning power as a poll parrot." (To Be Continued Next Week) "SLAVE STATE PREDICTED Chesterton Sees It As Outgrowth of Industrial Trend. LONDON, Aug. 30.—World conditions are ripe for the creation of a "slave state," Gilbert K. Chesterton, author and master of Paradox, told the Roman Catholic Congress at Birmingham. The "slave state" will be a state of society growing out of the present industrial trend. Chesterton explained as follows: There are all this moment all the matter for the building up of a slave state. We have today all the wealth and employing power in comparatively few hands, and a vast mass of people dependent upon these rich men. "That vast mass of men are very turbulent, often desperate, often starving, and constantly throwing civilization out of gear by strikes and revolts. "Somebody will suggest a compromise in which one will guard the lives of others, decent conditions, decent holidays, in return for which there will be insistence that men do not strike. "The moment you have that you have slavery. You undertake to feed your slaves, and your slaves will feed you, it might be a grond barricade for them." What Is The Best Season Of The Year What is the best season of the year? Summer, to most people—though the other seasons, especially spring, have their charms. And the older you get, the more you will like summer, the more you will wdread winter. For summer, with its luxurious growth, is symbolic of life at its best. Spring corresponds to our babyhood. It is the sprouting season, full of hope, dreams, uncertainty, danger of frost. Autumn is like the waning years of life, when we harvest as we have soum, when we suffer for our negligence and missteps. Winter is our time to grow up, when we look backward in the autumn of life, says "If only I had my life to live over again . . ." Winter, of course, corresponds to human death, the hibernation of old growth until new growth is ready to sprout and bud. All three of these seasons are preparations. The aftermath of summer, and summer is the period of life—of accomplishment—symbolic of the lives we are living. Fixes Tear Gas Bomb For Use on Burglar CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 30—Professor W. Lee Lewis, of Northwestern University, inventor of Lewisite and other high explosives and deadly gases used in the World war, announced today that after three visits from burglars he was tired of being robbed, so he has equipped his home with a burglar alarm attached to a tear gas bomb. "As soon as a window is raised or a door opened, the bomb drops to the floor, he deflated, and I have added a booster charge to make it explode so that it will reach every corner. Our sleeping porch is closed from the house, so the family is in no danger. All I have to do when the bomb goes off is to call the police and tell them to bring an ambulance."

Accused of Throwing Own Baby Into River CINCINNATI, Aug. 30.—A charge of murder was placed against Drusilla Anderson, 20, of Carlisle, Ky., last week, following her confession that she had thrown her 2-week-old baby girl into the Ohio River here Sunday night. The child's body was found last night lying on the bank of the river. Miss Anderson was arrested early today when found wandering aimlessly about the streets. Monkey Runs Amuck And Bites Old Woman NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug. 30. — A pet monkey escaped from his cage in a Howard avenue home yesterday ran amuck in that neighborhood and wound up in a little brown old woman, biting her severely on one hand and almost completely tearing off one of her ears. Mrs. Adolph Staunder, the victim, was taken to a hospital. Because of her advanced age physicians reported her condition as serious. The beast, a large specimen, was brought to bay by a well-aimed brick bat thrown by a policeman after it had eluded a crowd of neighbors and a police squad for more than an hour by sealing fences and housetops. SPEND MORE ON ROUGE THAN NATION ON BATHROOMS Women and girls in the United States spent more last year on rouge, face powder, and lipsticks than the entire country spent for bathroom equipment, according to Col.

Reads 114 Books in 19 Days; Must Have Been Short Ones SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 80. —A reputation as one of the world's champion readers was established by Maj. Gen. Robert C. Davis, adjutant general of the army, during the nineteen day voyage of the trans-Atlantic flight from New York. During the trip Gen. Davis consumed an average of six books each day, totaling 114. CLEVELAND BOY MAKING HIT IN WEST AS SINGER CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 30. — Albert Beckley, Cleveland's popular entertainer, direct from the Royal Inn Cabaret, is doing his stuff in Chicago. He's going big as Miss Oseola Blanks and Leonard Harper of the famous Harper and Blanks "Plantation Days" Company, now playing at Connie's Inn, New York's latest cabaret. Miss Blanks is a clever singer and dancer and Harper is an accomplished performer and playwright. U. S. Tourists Again Warned By Poincaire Frequent Rows, Created Because No Color Line Is Drawn in Cafes, Must Be Checked. PARIS, Aug. 30.—A new warning to foreigners from the United States who actively draw the color line in France is found in the published response of Premier Poincaré to Deputy Georges Batholey, who announced last week his intention to interpolate the Government at the opening of Parliament on recent incidents between French Negroes and foreign whites. The Premier states that he has ordered the Minister of the Interior to take such action as may be necessary, and to petition of the incidents. It is believed here that the Government might go as far as expulsion in flagrant cases. The letter says, in part: "A severe penalty already has been put upon the Montmartre establishment where the last incident occurred. Its night license has been withdrawn. "I will continue to follow the problem closely, leaving the Minister of the Interior, under whose control lies the policing of foreigners and the surveillance of public establishments, the duty of seeing that all are strictly observed, and that all infractions of these laws: be punished." It is accepted that the Premier hopes his letter may serve the double purpose of a warning against further color incidents—which, unpunished, cannot help hurting France's prestige among her almost exclusively black colonists — and the feeling of the feelings of the indignant deputy. While it is felt that France must defend the dignity of her colonies, there is no question that M. Poincaré does not wish to offend American feeling, and would like to keep the question from coming to debate in the Chamber of Deputies. There are frequent rows created by Americans in Montmartre cafes because the management permits French Negroes to dance with white girls. If 9 If you have only a week or two for your outing don't go away to a resort where you are unknown and may remain so. Often it takes two or three weeks to acquire a circle of friends at a resort and often it happens that just as one is about to return she has just got her social bearings. Nothing is more forlorn than to be an onlooker at other people's galasies. Don't go anywhere without being sure that you have the appropriate wardrobe. If you have a very simple wardrobe don't go to a hotel where elaborate dressing is the rule. You will find life at some less formal place more to your taste. And don't carry a lavish wardrobe to a place where simple dressing is general. Marriages Decreasing Divorces Increasing In Allegheny County WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—Blarrisages are decreasing and divorces increasing in Allegheny county. The a. me condition prevails throughout Pennsylvania a report on marriages and divorces in 1922 made public today by the U. S. census bureau shows. Marriages in Allegheny county last year totaled 10,079 and divorces 985. This is compared with 11,591 marriages in 1916 and 726 divorces. The ratio of divorces to marriages is thus seen to have increased from 6.2 per cent in 1916 to 9.7 per cent in 1922. In Pennsylvania the marriages and divorces in 1922 totaled 70,289 and 6,892, respectively, as compared with 72,033 and 4,980 in 1916. Philadelphia's marriages in 1922 totaled 17,721, as compared with 17,289 in 1916, while divorces in 1922 totaled 1,662 as compared with 995. The reasons for Western Pennsylvania counties, compiled by the census bureau from the reports of the prothetary in each county, follow: | County | Marriages | Marriages | Divorces | Divorces | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Allegheny | 10,079 | 11,591 | 985 | 726 | | Armstrong | 571 | 534 | 48 | 39 | | Beaver | 856 | 814 | 107 | 63 | | Bedford | 181 | 176 | 11 | 8 | | Butler | 670 | 677 | 54 | 45 | | Cambria | 1,364 | 1,380 | 110 | 91 | | Clarion | 241 | 250 | 9 | 21 | | Clearfield | 748 | 757 | 46 | 60 | | Crawford | 451 | 484 | 84 | 64 | | Payette | 1,295 | 1,368 | 274 | 189 | | Forest | 1,210 | 1,287 | 172 | 106 | | Greene | 194 | 155 | 8 | 14 | | Indiana | 626 | 536 | 43 | 28 | | Jefferson | 441 | 446 | 22 | 28 | | Lawrence | 859 | 891 | 110 | 89 | | Mercer | 766 | 648 | 73 | 44 | | Somerset | 446 | 445 | 31 | 16 | | Venango | 415 | 501 | 47 | 52 | | Warren | 311 | 307 | 65 | 46 | | Washington | 956 | 1,015 | 116 | 110 | | Westmoreland | 1,934 | 1,904 | 164 | 110 | Mrs. Harding Will Receive Husband's Unpaid Salary Congress Will Vote to Her About $65,000 Which Her Husband Would Have Drawn This Year, Also a $5,000 Annuity and Franking Privilege. Desire To Die Is More Powerful Than Desire To Love, Says Scientist Would Forbid Looking Into Each Other's Eyes in Dance Mrs. Florence Kling Harding, according to immemorial custom, will receive the salary that would have gone to President Harding had he lived for the remainder of his salary year, which, including back salary which, Mrs. Harding had not drawn, will amount to more than $65,00. In addition Mrs. Harding may receive from Congress a $5,000 annuity and the franking privileges for life. In the cases of the widows of four Presidents who died in office, Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Garfield, Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. McKinley, Congress gave them the remainder of the salary for the year that would have gone to their husbands had they lived in the country; the widow is $75,000 and the salary year begins March 4. Senators and Representatives assert that the same will be done for Mrs. Harding. The widow of every President who did not die in office has been given a $5,000 annuity by Congress since the death of President Tyler, with two exceptions: Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Desire To Die Powerful T To Love, VIENNA, Aug. 30—Prof. Sigmund Freud, founder of the psychoanalysis, has come forward in his latest book with the assertion that the desire to die is an even more powerful factor than the desire to love. Thus he has capitulated after holding out for years against the disciples of the world's universities, who have attempted to find rivals for sex desires. These, Freud had inherited maintained, are almost the exclusive dominating factor of human life. If an expert psychoanalyst were to analyze Freud himself in the light of his latest work—which has the extraordinary title, literally translated from the German, "The I and the It," (Das Ih und das Es)—he would find method in the knowledge he would glean. He would learn that this man, who undoubtedly is one of the world's geniuses, discovers at the age of 70 that death after all is stronger than love. He then Would Forbid Each Other's KALAMAZOO, Mich., Aug. 30. Dancing partners would be prohibited from looking into each other's eyes under the provisions of a series of amendments to the local dancing ordinance which has passed its first reading by the City Commission. The amendments, containing twenty-eight separate provisions, are designed to prohibit offensive attitudes and objectionable steps reported upon by policewomen after three Cleveland. In addition, each was extended the franking privilege — that is, they were permitted to send their mail free of charge. Widows of Senators and Representatives who die in office receive at the hands of Congress one year's salary that would have gone to their husbands, which amounts to $7,500. There is no established law for the gifts to the widows of Presidents, Senators and Representatives other than precedent, and Congress has to act on each individual case. The matter is handled in a special appropriation bill. No attempt has yet been made by Government officials to estimate teh Harding funeral cost. All the bill's have not yet been received. The expenses incident to the last illness and funeral of Presidents are all allowed by the government through a special act of Congress. The bills for President Harding's funeral will be submitted to Congress when it convenes and an appropriation made to cover them. Is More Than Desire Says Scientist might easily infer the significant fact that this man, who writes that he finds the desire to die so strong, actually is nighting for a prolongation of time, in which to go on with his work. Suffering Mortal Malady Suffering Mortal malady Although his disciples make every effort to express public knowledge of the facts concerning Prof. Freud's illness, he is said to be suffering from a slowly developing mortal malady. The illness has so far developed that at present he works under some difficulties. A few selected pupils still study with him, although the greater number have passed to his spiritual son, Dr. Otto Rank. Prof. Freud still receives part of the great body of sociologists, psychologists, philosophers, novelists and merely curious who visit him, and they often carry away memories of brilliant and not, too kindly wit. However, "The I and the It" probably is his swan song. Looking Into Eyes in Dance years of dance hall supervision.

NINE or Bald Men TWO TION or Bald Men TWO TION SUNSHINE "For when you smile, there's miles and miles of smiles" A son arrived in the family of a West Philadelphia couple the other day, and the young father rushed out of the house to borrow a pair of scales. There were no portable scales in the neighborhood. "Any rags, any bottles?" sang is voice in the street. "Here, you!" called the food father. "Come here! I want you to weigh something for me." The junkman followed the proud parent. Baby was tied up in a towel and hooked to the scales. The indicator showed exactly seven pounds. "Seven pounds!" cried the nurse. "Seven pounds!" echoed the disappointed father. "Don't let that worry you!" we marked the junkman. "Then in the scales, buy by. I guess the child weighs ten pounds, mebbe a little over that." A young Englishman on a vaudeville bill was asked to introduce a Miss Harris, the performer who had the next turn. The girl was very pretty and he wanted to make a hit with her. Also, he thought he saw a chance to display his familiarity with American history. So he repeated what he had been told to say about her act and then added this following on his own account: "In conclusion, ladees and gempun, I assure you that Miss Harris is both beautiful and talented. It may further interest you to know that she is a direct descendant of our famous President Harris." Uncle Andy is no plutocrat, but he has enough property to insure him three meals a day to rite the rest of his life. He had dropped into the corner cigar store and one of the boys asked him if he didn't want a tip on the races. "No, I have had my turn at the races," he explained cheerfully. "One time a fellow gave me a couple of winners. It looked like sure thing cigarette money, so I thought I'd go after something a little bigger." "And then what happened, Uncle Andy?" "I started in to win a winter overcoat and lost a brick house." The women were discussing a wedding which had taken place in their church the previous day. "And do you know," said one, "just as Frank and the widow start- ed up the aisle to the altar every light in the church went out?" This startling bit of information was greeted by a number of "Oh! What did the couple do then?" inquired one. "Kept on going. The widow knew the way." Mr. Williams had made a long search for a certain book and finally soliloquized: "At last! Here it is. I wonder why one always finds a thing in the last place in which to hunt?" "I hope that it's because when we find what we're looking for we stop hunting," remarked his young- son. Quite recently a woman advertised in The Times for a caretaker for her town home and after interviewing a large number of applicants, found one that suited her. "Thanks for giving me the job," said the man, "and might I ask you a question? You stated in the air that you wanted a married man. Does that mean you have some work in view for me?" She applied the woman. "I wanted a married man so as to be sure I get some one used to taking orders from a woman." A New Yorker, visiting English friends, was lamenting leaving home two beautiful daughters who were just budding into womanhood. Turning to a man to whom he had just been introduced, he asked if he had any family. "Yes, I have a wife and six children in Australia. And I never saw one of them," he added, quietly. "The two sat in silence. Then the The two sat in silence. Then the interrogation began. "Were you ever blind, may I ask?" said the American. "No," was the reply. "Did you marry a widow?" "No." Another silence. "Did I understand you to say you had a wife and six children living in Australia and had never seen one of them?" "Yes, that is how I stated it." Then the American inquired: "How can that be? You say you never saw one of them. I do not understand it at all." "Because," was the reply, "one of them was born after I left." A professor noted among his students for his caustic wih had in one of his classes one year a young man who was both ignorant and conceived. One morning he made a specially self-satisfied display of both these characteristics, and the professor said he would like to see him at the end of the hour. When he came up after the lecture, the professor asked: "You my Mr. Junkins." "Have you a visiting card?" "I - yes, sir," stammered the mules on the floor.

LACO SOME HOTEL THOUGHTS Lack of Adequate Stopping Places for OUR Travelers Arouses Caustic Criticism. Miss Lottie Gee The lack of hotel accommodations is one of the most disappointing features of race progress noticeable in America today. While there is indexed in the Billboard office, more than 600 stopping places available for the Negro traveller, as a matter of fact the race can boast of adequate hotel accommodations in less than one-third of the larger cities of the country and in very few of the smaller towns. The file referred to contains the names of many hotels operated for the patronage of the general public without regard to the race of the patron, and many more names of private home keepers whose homes are hospitably to the patrons who would not be otherwise cared for. Just about a hundred cards bear the names of bona fide hotels operated for the accommodation of colored people, by members of their own race. The management of many of these stricted few seem to other know or care how to be either secure patronage or care for patronage once obtained. Some are operated on the policy of getting all the profit possible from a patron at his or her first visit it to the hostelry. Others assume that a bed without any supplementary service of any character is enough justification for collecting the price quoted. Some assume patrons will gravitate towards their house or be forced to patronize it. Few realize the daily business they are living because their very existence unknown to those who would patronize the hotel, if they but knew of it. Another grave error is the presumption that all colored travellers are seeking a "good time" with its attendant noise. Few of our race hotel men appreciate the numbers who give them no thought, and upon arrival in a town proceed to seek a morning house. There is no desire to disparage the colored hotel. A goodly number of them will challenge the admiration of even those familiar with the pretentious houses of other people. The criticism offered in the article is intended to be constructive, and it is conceived that evil can be recalled with its existence has been acknowledged. That the colored hotel business is sadly in need of some overhauling has been recognized by the National Negro Business League, and that body has been trying for several years to interest hotel men in organizing for the sake of improvement in uniformity of service standards in their business. So far little progress has been made. A steady patronage is the backbone of any business. There are just two groups capable of providing this sustaining volume to the keepers of our hotels, viz. the road men and the folk folks. Because of their longer stay in each community, the greater of these is folk folk. At the present time there are six big musical comedy companies on the road, with more in rehearsal or early prospect of rehearsal. Fifty tabloid companies are travelling over the land. Four hundred vaudeville acts of the race, totalling 1,200 people, are being booked hither and thither, while more than sixty musical groups are playing pass the land. Add to these the concert artists, pitchmen, and musicien show people, the hall and hall entertainers and miscellaneous shows travelling without cars, and we have more than 5,000 potential hotel patrons, with a fifth of whom even think of a hotel. They have abandoned hope of finding one, or believe that if found, it will prove to be but another delusion. So beginning with the train porter as they enter town, they commence at once inquiring for a rooming house. Sixty percent or three thousand of these people are almost constantly in less than a hundred of the bigger cities. Divided among the hotels—if the towns afforded hotels worthy of the name—the would average thirty guests per day. This THE PITTSBURGH COURIER Lyle's New $18,000 Car And Show 'Runnin' Wild' Attract Large Crowds WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 30—(By Isaac Bannister) A vote taken today could be the only means of determining which is the more popular, Miller and Lyles' new show, "Running Wild," which opened at the Howard Theatre to capsize crowd Monday night, or to raise $18,000 in the narrow alleyway beside the showhouse. Miller and Lyles used to be the big cheese in "Shuffle Along." That is history. All this week they appeared here in a new musical comedy for which they wrote the book, James W. Johnson, the music, lyrics by Ceil Mack; and directed by Will Marion Cook; "the old master" himself. Revella Hughes, who once came near marrying a parson, and George Stephens sang "Open Your Heart," in a way that was a knockout. Adelaide Hall, Ia Duncan and Arthur would provide a nice foundation upon which a healthy business might be based. It would enable a hotel to maintain every essential business, business, prepared for the busiest traffic, the convention business and for the increasing number of Negro commercial travellers that are being met with on the road. With the twenty, thousand railway workers of the Pullman, dining; car and private car service that are similarly scattered and continuously moving from place to place, every city and good-sized town in the country could support a real hotel. But two things are required, reasonable rates and reasonable service. Both are the products of intelligent management. If it would succeed, a hotel must first have the facilities for serving the public, and then must inform the public of that fact. Two forms of advertising must be accomplished. First, a hotel must be advertised in publications that reach the traveller all the time, particularly while he is laying on his route. Local papers will accomplish this, when the traveller sees these, he will be in the city one or more days, and his abiding places selected and occupied. Next the printed advertising must be supplemented by the word of mouth that is so potent; and there is no booster so willing to praise of a good stopping place as is the satisfied performer or railman. Nor is there a group who would more willingly pay a reasonable price for just a part of the service they have been taught to expect from a hotel by the same such genetically oriented houses that have been privileged to visit, and from the very natural knowledge each has of his needs. Hasten the day when we have more such houses as the Golden West in Portland, Ore., The Vincennes in Chicago, The Washington, The Dale in Cape May, N. J., and the Royal Palace in Baltimore, the writer knows them for what they are, not by hearsay, but from direct observation, for in his travelling days he believed that if the travelling men of the race did not patronize our hotels, there would be no need to patronize. Oftimes a most discouraging practice, but the pioneer instinct was strong and we adhered to our purpose. Hotel Why neglect a profitable business? It is yours for the asking, and the asking must be in actions as well as words. "LIZA" OPENING AT LAFAYETTE NEW YORK, Aug. 30—Coming to the Lafayette Theatre for one week only for the first time in Harlem the musical "Liza" on Monday night. The cast, which is a big one, is headed by Greenlee and Drayton Gentruele Saunders, Irvin Miller, Doe Green Billy Miles, Alonzo Fenderson, Will Cook, and 'a supporting company of sixty. He's a beauty chorus and dancing dandies. The choir is under the direction Tim Bryman. The large chorus, the same that made itself famous for its fast-dancing was in its entirety, also the "strutting boys" that made the "Dandy number" so popular when they played downtown. The cast staged all its old factions and the show was the same that played at the Daly's and Bayes Theatres last season at the $2.50 scale of prices. The engagement at the Lafayette Theatre was the first time that "Liza" ever played at popular prices, and the people of Harlem felt elated in the edge that the manager of the Lafayette Theatre, had succeeded in securing so notable an attraction for his patrons, and especially so when they are able to see "Liza" at the popular prices that are in vogue at the Lafayette. Porter took the crowd off its feet with "Old Fashioned Love." Thomas Woods, George Stamper, Ralph Bryson and Robert Lee were just about as good dancers as ever stepped before the footlights and the big audience called the new show a success. Little did he include a crowd of several hundred gazed at the Pierce Arrow in wonder. They admired its double set of windshields and speedometers. Lovingly they passed their hands over its khaki cover and the wood work of the interior. Initially with French ivory, and then some were attracted by the ice chest on the big touring car, while others admired the bed which enables the actor to recline and sleep en route. The disc wheels have double brakes, front and rear. The body is Rolls Royce, with a Pierce Arrow engine. And there is an altimeter to show how high the car is above sea level. "Jes' like a Pullman," said one admirer. "Better," says Chick Richard, chauffeur, settling himself firmly to keep the $18,500 car from being taken away piece by piece.

Manager Smith of the theater in Lynchburg, Va., recently entertained the members of the Virginia Minstrels, a tented attraction that played the city. Gene Bell, the stage manager of the show, reports that the evening, or rather the wager was very popular, and much on the show report that they have a harmonious company that is very well satisfied with the management. Johnnie Lee Long recently disbanded his show, and is doing a single. He announces that he will rehearsal this season, he will be conducted in New York, according to a recent communication from him.

Medill Thompson has gone into big time vaudeville, according to his Chicago publicity representative, who in his announcement failed to advise the date or theaters that followed his appearance in next to closing spot at the Academy of Music in Chicago a few weeks since. James G. Cooper, of York, Pa., attempted to produce "Emmy Lou," as a musical comedy, has made a vaudeville act of the show adapted for three people and will present it in that form this season. The Lexington, Ky., Fair was an immense success this year. The races proving to be the big draw. The program was on par with the Jockey club program, and the machines got a big play. Bandmaster John France, with his Second Regiment 'Band of Columbus, Ohio, literally stood 'em up at the oather, "Cincinnati" was featured in the advertising and megaphoned from the grand stand, while a record machine in the exhibit building demonstrated its merit daily with very telling effect. President continues in the vanguard with his big Fair. Nothing, like having old friends, Frank Kirk and Arthur Moss, of the Moss and Frye vaudville act, have been intimates for a long number of years. When Frank came to New York to rehearse with the Gus Hill "Bringing Up Father" show, it was perfectly natural that he should go to the home of his old associate of other years, for besides lodgings there he received getting up in his belat assent getting up in his bed and as a result, when the show opened at the Premier theater in the Brownies section of Brooklyn Frank was letter perfect in every line and bit of business. Besides that it is some trick to keep friends for a quarter of a century. Both of them enjoyed the show business. Gus Collins, star of the 'show', Winbush and Williams, Adams and Adams and Jones and Craig, who constitute part of the thirty people who comprise the Kibbies 'Uncle Tom Cabin' company, now in its fourth week, are making good in their respective parts. Mae Adams, as the comedienne, has become a special favorite with the public. Easton and Stewart have gone out with the Monte Carlo Girls', a burlesque show. This is the second season for this unique team on the wheel show. Willard F. Hamby, the pianist, is with the Jimmie Cooper Review on the Columbia wheel. He is with Arthur's Redhot Syncoproteus, the big colored aggregation that forms an important part of the show. St. Franceville, La., reports a successful development of the West Fellin New Fair, J.

Fair Officials Association, is arranging the dates that follow those as he did the first series. Dancing Master Gets New Steps from U. S. Fits Them to Negro Melodies He Heard in South, They're Rage in London. LONDON, Aug. 25 - England has a new dance with American inspiration which threatens to become the rage in London. It is called "Blues," but nobody knows why. When Camille de Rhynal, president of the World's Dancing Federation, was visiting in Dixie he saw potential in the haunting Negro melodies he heard at the Carolinas, the invented steps to be danced to the pivotal Negro songs and arranged the music for dancing. Recently the dance was demonstrated before the Congress of the Imperial Society of Dance Teachers and Dancing Masters, whose members immediately predicted a big future for it. The only obstacle is that it is apt to ap to provide difficult for the canine dance. When proper technique it looks exceedingly better, but the beginner finds in the "Blues" more than one wrinkle to crease out. It is described as a mixture of the waltz and foxtrot. It demands on the part of the dancer a Light rhythm, with a suggestion of the camel walk and an imperecible swaying movement of the body harmony. The curious gliding moment. It is free from the automatic style of the foxtrot and in doing it department counts more than anything else. New Trend In Banking, Says Heman Perry "No Insurance, No Credit," Is New Slogan in Financial World. ATLANTA, Georgia. Aug. 30—"No Insurance, no credit" was the remark of Heman E. Perry, the financial genius back of the triangular group of giant business enterprises in the Standard-Citizens-Service and allied institutions, at a recent meeting of his Executive Committee when a question arose as to the measure of credit which should be extended a certain applicant. It happened that the individual applying for security to offer, but the Committee stated that "he is a good risk if nothing happens to him." Upon discussing the matter later with a member of his Executive Committee, Mr. Perry explained that while his statement was not to be understood as establishing a policy, it did indicate the trend of matters in the banking world as was recently shown in an article published in a booklet issued by The American Bank of Nashville, Tenn. The article mentioned by Mr. Perry contained the following statement of our investigations of a man applying for credit, we frequently sind that he carries insurance which would cover any and all of his indebtedness in case of his death, therefore, this particular man's requests are generally granted. However, in a number of cases we make loans where we are protected, and it is going to be our policy in the future to ask our customers to pro SELL HALL and Cum Posey arrayed against each other in Court, rather reminds us of a game of "FREEZE-OUT," between Jesse James and Gyp-the-Blood. The Ku Kluxans may claim 100% Americanism, but in a fight with a bunch of Irish, at best they represent only 50% of the fighting. THE Picnic and Convention session is about over and the pockets of the railroad owners and park lessees are bulging out with the hard-earned coin, while the brother goes back to the job of denying himself a home and the pleasure of wearing out three mops a day, in the hope that he'll have another "good time" next summer, O, THE BIG HEART AND THE IVORY HEAD.

The Griddle wonders if the brother carried his lunch with him. Armond Scott of Washington and Harry Pace of New York City put on a Punch and Judy Show at the ELKS' CONVENTION IN CHICAGO, which had Barnum's Three-Ring Circus backed off the boards.

That'll be about all. teet their applications by carrying sufficient insurance to cover their entire indebedness in case of death, and we feel that, in this way we will not only be protected but we will be doing our customers a favor by asking them to protect their families and their estates as well." The wisdom of Mr. Perry's remark is easily seen when one considers how many families have found themselves hopelessly involved in debt when the providing member is suddenly taken by death.

Ten persons were arrested following the shooting, which was the second murder within a period of a few hours. All were held yesterday by Magistrate Carney as material witnesses. None of those held as material witnesses would tell the reason for the fatal shooting, which, police are inclined to believe resulted from an argument concerning a woman. The murderer; after firing the fatal shot, was from the house and left the pawners with their dead host. Detectives of the Fifth District took Childs to the Jefferson Hospital, where it was found he had been instantly killed by a bullet through his head. Soap Box Frolic At Shore Pleases ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 30—Philadelphia folks took a holiday on Friday to week-end it with the Soap Box Social of the Citizens' Club at Atlantic City.

The promising Ed" will welcome address the rest of the program—a medley of opera, jazz and darnpoolishness—was readily given. George Graham, as announcer and lone black-face comedian, was the hit of the evening. His "impromptu" remarks and anties were all that Grant Gilmore said they would be. Arthur Haines, Ben Robinson, Elijah Hodges, George Benson and Lew Booker all drew encores. Dancing till the cows came home ended the evening. On Saturday afternoon a cabaret dance for sweet charity was given at Fitzgeralds. Again the Soap Box scored.

ONE DEAD, MANY HURT IN CARNEGIE KLAN BIOT Word came back to the police, it is said, that the parade would be held with the arrival of a high official and 20 members of his staff from the national headquarters of the Klan in Atlanta, Ga. A special train of 13 coaches, carrying these officials and many other Klansmen arrived in the borough at 8:30 o'clock and the men were taken to the scene of the initiation in automobiles. The initiation had started before they arrived, but they participated in it. Fight Stars at Bridge The first outbreak occurred on the Carnegie end of the Glendale bridge, as the first forces of the Klansmen appeared at the head of a column of marchers after holding initiation exercises on the hill. In attempting to pass through a cordon of citizens they ran their autos into two motorcycle policemen, knocking them down. The crowd surged forward and blocked their progress. Autos were placed at all available points in the street to prevent the THE PITTSBURGH COURIER paraders from advancing; this checke them. Someone demanded that the Klansmen take down the Ameri- can flags they were carrying. The electric K. K. K. sign was torn from the leading auto. Half an hour later the Klansmen, with a united effort, broke through the lines of citizens and officers and succeeded in marching two squares farther into the town. They were halted again. Then rioting broke out again. HALF MILLION IS S FOR HOWARD U (Continued From there is one white den 2,070 white people in States, while there is be dentist to every 20,500 sons.

All day Sunday doctors were busy answering calls to homes to dress minor injuries. Piles of rocks, broken down fences, where angry citizens had torn off palings to break up the Klan parade, and scattered fragments of the Klan regalia bears mute testimony to the hurried flight, which turned to a rout as true American citizens rose to defend their rights against "hooded" invasion.

"Deplorable limitation of the capacity of colored educational institutions" is responsible for the foregoing situation, Secretary Work believes, and he is endearing to remedy this condition by increasing the facilities for these types of professional education. "Secretary Work is to be commended for his courageous action in placing this matter so forcefully before Congress. The needs of the Medical and Dental schools at Howard have been long felt; as an urgent necessity for the carrying on of a work of far-reaching importance among our people.

FOURTEEN Gardner Is Choice Of The People For District Attorney About once in every half century, some real man rises in the community and by his life and example sets a standard for good citizenship. Abraham Lincoln did just that thing. Pittsburgh has produced Samuel H. Gardner, the man whose life record has a standard for emulation by our own man. He is of that it pays to live right before God and man. It was this remarkable example offered by the life and public record of Samuel H. Gardner that made our fourteen judges decide to appoint him District Attorney for Alpheny County when the vacancy occurred a few months ago. There were many other names before our judges, but there was but one opinion among the judges, and that was Mr. Gardner, who represents all that ought to be required of a public prosecutor than any of all the other men whose names were presented. It was because of the record of the man, his life, his real worth, and his balance of temper, coupled with his ability and his unquestioned integrity that won him the appointment by our fourteen judges. There was but one vote for Gardner. All agreed on him. Just like the judges picked a man for District attorney whose life and integrity are clean and whose ability and integrity are above reproach, so must the citizens pick men of the same type for all the other offices to be filled. We must do like the judges did—give the people the very best men we can find. The public deserves the very best. No one even entertains the idea of opposition to Mr. Gardner. He is the choice of the people, just as any other of our judges. He will win by 30,000 votes. His opposition feels beside him. But other candidates are not as fortunate as Mr. Gardner. They have to go before the people on their records—and some of them have records which will not read too well in print. These men are the cause of all the mud-slinging, the abuse, the cheap argument, and the perennial attacks we read in the papers and hear on the streets. The people never get a chance to know the real truth about many of the candidates. One side is abusing PRIMARY BEDROOM SUITES, dining room suites, overstuffed living room suites in what we believe is the most remarkable sale of fine furniture ever held in Pittsburgh. From America's finest furniture makers—such as Luce, Batesville, Shaw. All the suites, about eighty-five all told, are of the newest design and highest quality construction. The furniture is being offered at about half the prices usually charged for productions of this character. There are fifty-five bedroom suites, forty dining room suites and sixty overstuffed living room suites, all different styles, in this sale—all offered at savings of about half the usual prices for furniture of this quality. Convenient Credit Terms Easily Arranged PICKERING'S. Tenth and Penn the other. One man accusing the other of this or of that. The whole thing is a scheme to keep the people from knowing the truth about the men on the two tickets. What do the people care for argument? The people want men, not madness. The Courier has investigated all the candidates. They have records,—some of them—which will make the voters blush for shame, and yet these must be the beats to publish the Courier is going to publish the records,—where there are records,—of every man running,—regardless of the ticket he is running on. The Courier will tell the people how much difference, there is between some of them and a man like Samuel H. Gardner. The Gardner type is what the people want, and they have a right to demand that man live, and that man record and clear conscience of the man they give their vote. The Courier knows something of the K. K. K. members on the tickets, and it will tell the voters who they are. There are some men with court records; too, and that will be told to the readers of the Courier. At the proper time, the Courier will give to its readers a "ticket" worthy of the vote of any citizen. Truth is what counts. This abuse is all rot to fool the voters. Look for the Gardner type of man, and demand that you be given that type to vote for. Captain Cain Gets Greetings From Voters Captain Robert S. Cain, County Commissioner, who is a candidate to succeed himself with the Republican Organization endorsement, finds considerable pleasure in campaigning. He said recently: "While campaigning is strenuous work, it has its pleasant side to me in the making of new friends and renewing old friendship. The people of this county are warmhearted and it is a delight to go among them. I hope to meet a great many of them before this campaign ends. "Everywhere I have been I have found enthusiasm for the entire field of computer science, developed three outstanding issues. One seems to be whether officials will be chosen for the city and county who will devote themselves to solving the serious problems that are pending and to planning progressive enterprises that will be of benefit to all of the people of the community, or such as, will degrade the government to a mere raid on the political pork barrel. Another issue is the fact that the Old Guard has entirely ignored service men. While I am not stressing my military service, and am making my appeal solely on my record as an official, I can help knowing how the Old Guard has total issue, also, is that the Old Guard is the ancient, and present foe of the woman voter. They tried to disfranchise the women of Allegheny county after the constitutional amendment recognizing their right to vote had been ratified, and have persistently resisted the cleansing influence of women in the political field. "As for myself, I know that I am being fought because I am and always will be, independent in political thought and political action. In office, I represent the people who elected me. I am in the Republican Organization movement because it means political freedom for all. "I am putting my candidacy up to all of the people. I am not making any particular appeal to any class or group government. I want to point out, however, to the women of Allegheny County, that one of the reasons for the deep-seated opposition to me is that I would not be a party to a plot of the Old Guard which would have prevented the women from exercising the franchise after they had won a victory at the end of a battle extending over half a century. The leaders of the Old Guard, who are now opposing me in this election, came in August 1920, with a plot to keep the women from the poll. The Old Guard feared the influence of the women then as it fears them now. Reverencing women as I do, I would have been false to every instinct of American manhood had I even considered such baseness. Aided by my colleagues on the Board of County Commissioners, we made it easy for women to begin participation in public affairs, with the result that we now have an influence in our political life which the other side fears and which we welcome. My own candidacy, therefore, has developed a decisive contest between the women in our political life and the Old Guard. I am quite willing to leave the verdict to the women. I can add, with pride that all of the women the ticket on which my name appears have the same feelings toward the women voters as the county commissioners had at a critical stage in the triumph of the suffrage movement. THE PITTSBURGH COURIER Recorder John D. Graham True Public Servant Recorder John D. Graham True Public Servant By efficiency, ability, a strict sense of public duty and businesslike management of the affairs of his office, John D. Graham, Recorder of Deeds of Allegheny County, has earned the approval of all who have had business to transact with him. Mr. Graham, who is a candidate for reelection, is not a factionalist, politically opposed, and would support to all of the people on the basis of service rendered, promising that his work of the future shall be of the same high standard as his achievements of the past. During seven years' service as Recorder of Deeds he has devoted himself strictly to raising the efficiency of his office and has made many changes for the betterment of the service to the public. With the aid of the Allegheny County Bar Association he has completed the indexing, universally recognized as the most practical, convenient and efficient method of indexing devised. Mr. Graham has also had a large part of the very valuable old title records of Allegheny County restored by a new method, whose worth has been demonstrated and which will preserve the original documents for a long price of each worth. With the property of accepting Prominent members of the bar who have examined this work declare it to be of the utmost value and importance affecting, as it does, title to hundred of millions of dollars worth of property in Allegheny County, and protecting the interests of business men and home-owners of the county-the taxpayers who have the right to expect official consideration. Harley In Race To The Finish Lee Harley, of 2139 Rose Street, 5th Wailg is making a canvas of his ward in the interest of his candidacy for Gonstable. Mr. Harley is 31 years old and is a former athlete of repute. He was born in the 5th, --- ward and has resided their all-or the greater part of his life, Mr. Harley in announcing as a candidate had the following to say: I'm taking the liberty of every citizen of this great country in announcing as a candidate for Constable of the 5th ward. I have been approached in the last few weeks in efforts to stop me from running, but I wish to take this opportunity to tell my friends that I am in this fight to stay and can honestly say that I think I will win. I have formed an organization of young men in every district in the ward and those men will be on the job on election day in my interest. If elected I will promise the voters of the 5th ward a faithful administration. Shoaf Is Man For Clerk Of Courts Shoaf Is Man For Clerk Of Courts There are times in the political campaigns of Allegheny County when its looks very much as though this or that man is particularly and peculiarly suited or fitted for this or that office. To use the term of the 'reformer', "The Man and The Hour Cometi Together." Such is the status affecting the candidacy of Charles M. Shoaf of West Elizabeth, for the office of Clerk of Courts. For a number of years Mr. Shoaf has actually administered the highly specialized machinery of the Court Clerk's office, with a smoothness born of a natural fitness and experience. He is known to the thousands of Jurors, Attorneys, Judges and persons having business with the courts as the man on the job in the court room. Mr. Shoaf is asking for a promotion of the people of Allegheny County, a promotion not only deserved, but one which fits into the American scheme of advancing the man who has faithfully performed the work assigned to him. The people will have little reason to worry about the public's interest in the Clerk of Court's office, if they support Mr. Shoaf for the place. The Colored voters should take interest in the statement Mr. Shoaf made recently to a representative of The Pittsburgh Courier to the effect that the Race would continue to have representation in the office in the event of his election. --- Winters Is Popular Choice for Council Winters Is Popular Choice for Council "In submitting my candidacy, I do so with the absolute belief that the will of the people is supreme and that my candidacy will rise or fall through that will. I also realize that, with that will in my favor, no political power or triarchy can prove effective against my candidacy." With these words Daniel Winters, president of Council, and one of the most popular officials in the city, has made formal announcement of his candidacy for renomination election. His candidacy for renomination will appear in the people of Pittsburgh on the Republican ballot at the primaries, September 18. Mr. Winters has served about five years in Council, during which time he has been one of its leading members. At all times he has kept in close touch with the duties of the office he holds and it can well be said of him that he has proved himself a capable, effective and trustworthy position where these three requisites mean much to the taxpayers. Mr. Winters' announcement follows: "In submitting my candidacy, I do so with the absolute belief that the will of the people is supreme and that my candidacy will rise or fall through that will. I also realize that with that will in my favor no political power or triarchy can prove effective against my candidacy. "My record in council is 24 years of which was made as president or the body, has been a matter of daily notation in the public press which enables any one who has followed the councilmanic proceedings to readily determine whether to not nominate a nominal term. Four years ago, on a non-partisan ticket, I was elected in both primary and general election by the highest vote given any candidate and my aim has been that my service as a councilman would be such that it would offend against the better judgment of none of these many supporters. "It always has been my policy as a member of council to vote as I believed a great majority of the people, influenced by the right, would have me vote. My course always has been conscientious and I have aimed to make my services in the interest of the city of Pittsburgh something of which afterward I should not feel ashamed. "My candidacy does not have the indorsement of the mayor of the city, nor that of his political associates, a fact to which I will attune himself than anyone I have loved rush to its support unaware that such course will be at the mayor's displeasure. As in the past I shall continue to regard the office of councilman as separate from leadership, influence or domination, by the executive of the city, and shall continue to believe the people fill the office expecting incumbents to be responsible to them and in no manner subordinated to the will of the city's executive."

Mellon and Coolidge We noted in our daily that Secretary Mellon is going to remain in the official family at Washington, and that he has endorsed President Coolidge for the party nomination at Chicago next June. If this report is true, the country is safe for another four years, at least. And why? The first and foremost spirit at Washington, so far as concerns government is Secretary Mellon. He is not now, nor has he ever been, interested in political jobs. He has not exercised any authority in making appointments. A few selections have been made after conference with him, perhaps, but on the whole, he has devoted himself to rebuilding the country's financial system, and stabilizing world credit. He has done more to restore normal production in all industries than any one member of the official family. Indeed, when he began work on his National Bank building at Pittsburgh, it was the signal for all kinds of business to take on new life and activity. When he started the new building, all other similar activities followed. The man has the confidence of the people as few men have it. He is as safe as a business guide as the country could ask. He is not a politician, except in the very largest sense, but he makes politicians serve him. President Coolidge is a man of determination, of common judgment, of a sense of right, justice and equity. This is about all a man needs to be President of the American people. President Coolidge, with the aid and advice of Mr. Mellon, could operate the machinery of the government without any noticeable friction. Both men are firm; careful and calculating. Once they determine upon a course, the execution is but a matter of time and form. Of course, there will be some politics in the government, even if these two great men unite for the common good of the government. But it can be said here and now that politics will not dictate to the government as much as the government will dictate to the politicians. The union of the two men will reassure business, encourage peace of mind among the people, allay suspicions, and contribute greatly toward the abolition of the general unrest all over the country. We hope to see these giant spirits put their united efforts to the wheel of American government. Wood's Side Not So Good Now that the "ther side" of the Philippine story has been given to the reading public, we are in position to pass judgment on what facts we have, and that without admitting that all the facts have been given to this country. It appears from the "Wood side" of the controversy that the Philippines are not ready to govern themselves. This report does not harmonize, however, with reports given out before the late Mr. Harding was President of the United States: As far back as 1916, when the Jones Act was passed, it was generally circulated that the time had come to give the Islanders a trial at self government. It was the sense of those backing the Jones Act that the government was making ready the "independence of the Philippines." We have learned that something has happened since the Jones Act was passed. We have not learned exactly what caused the delay, but there has been a change of mind on the "Independence" question. And the change came after the passage of the Jones Act. Indeed, it came after 1920, when President Wilson declared that the Philippines had shown themselves capable of operating a stable government. The Republicans declined to subscribe to the Wilson point of view. In 1921, under the Harding administration, a commission was appointed to "investigate the Philippines" and report on their readiness to take over their own government. The commission reported unfavorably, and soon, Gen. Wood, who had been one of the commissioners, was appointed governor general. The Filipinos resented the unfavorable report, and resented the Wood administration. The feeling against Wood has been held in restraint until the recent break. It is now claimed that Wood does not permit any Filipino to participate in governmental affairs, nor does he give them any opportunity to become experienced in management. He is charged with selecting a few of his own officers and favorites for the work he desires to do, and the Islanders are not consulted, nor called into conference. This attitude is the foundation of the complaint, and led to the resignation of the cabinet some time ago. The whole question deserves investigation at the hands of this government. We expect President Coolidge to say something on the question before very long. The Guns Have Appeared Again Just a few/weeks ago we were reading in our morning papers of the very timely activity of the Superintendent of Police in suppressing gun display in the windows of the shop keepers along Wylie. Indeed, the popular avenue was made to look like armistice day after Superintendent Jones issued his order to keep all guns out of sight. He was ordering every place to hide the guns. Guns were scarce on Wylie for a few days after the order. But the dear people need not worry about the order. They had better begin to worry about the guns. The guns have all come back to the windows, right where they were before Mr. Jones ordered them all put out of sight. His order against gun display had all kinds of "power back of it" A Real American Federation of Labor LABOR CONQUER ALL WHEN LABOR WILL BE ABLE TO BRING CAPITAL TO ITS KNEES As we approach the annual demonstration of the bone and sinne of our country, we are led to ask what significance can Labor Day have for the man who can not find employment for his willing hands, or his capable brain? The picture has grown old. We stand along the roped highways of our cities and towns and watch the steady tread of the sons of toil. The banners speak for the various organizations; and until we rivit our eyes upon the personnel of the marchers, we are apt to think the banners represent every son who is willing to toil. But not so. There are sons of darker hue whose horny hands represent over four centuries of toil on American soil. These sons are not a real part of organized labor. They are laborers, but not a part of America's labor. The difference has a distinction seen only when we go back of the banners held aloft by each marching organization. Labor Day ought to be the day on which honest toil is eulogized by those who feed from the hands of the honest laborer. Every man who is willing to work ought to be given his equal opportunity, in the skilled lines. And until all men can join the ranks of the honest toiler for honest pay, we shall have a Labor Day void of real meaning, and representative only in a most modified sense. when it was issued, but now there seems to be no order, and no power anywhere to give one. The superintendent is too busy with the campaign to see to it that his orders on the guns, have been disobeyed in every shop on Wylie. Guns, great guns, large and small, are basking in the very front windows all along Wylie. The people of Pittsburgh deserve better treatment than this. Mere temporary reform is nothing to serve to the public. Officers who enter upon their new duties with the proverbial "new broom" are usually swept out themselves after the reform fever wears off. It was ever thus. If it was against any City Ordinance to display guns a few weeks ago when the order went out, we would like to know why the guns have all made their appearance again in the very same windows from which they were removed when the order was given. Brace up, Police Department, give us a fair chance against the gunmen! We Lead the World The special committee, appointed by the American Bar Association to report on crimes in this country, will make its reports to the Association at the regular-meeting at Minneapolis next week. It is reported that the committee has indicated that their report will show that this country leads all others in crimes committed, both as to degree and number. This indicates that the world is run mad. Phobia has taken hold of America. In one form or another, the whole country seems to be suffering with crime germs. Murder, floggings, raids, lynchings, mobs, disorder, law violations and open rebellion against orderly government—these are some of the indications of the phobia. To account for the crime is but to satisfy ourselves of its prevalence. But we feel better when we can understand what brings about certain conditions. Treatment is apt to be more effective when we know what caused the malady. It is probably the general belief of the people that the war left as much of the unrest we encounter day after day. Perhaps the war, the actual fighting, did distort the public conscience, but we are of the opinion that the war ended too soon. When we say the war ended too soon, we mean in point of accomplishment. There was nothing decided by the flow of human blood. There was no decisive battle that was heralded as the "turning battle of the war." There was nothing done by either side that could be taken as deciding for all time who actually won the usual victory sought in battle. A Bumper Crop Of Lawlessness (From the Pittsburgh Press) the reign of lawlessness which is sweeping-a large part of the United States. Ohio, Georgia, Texas and Oklahoma report outrages against free citizens that belie our vaunted civilization. If similar incidents were reported in Poland, we should doubtless be urged to send an investigating commission. In fact, both Great Britain and the United States sent commissions to Poland in 1919 for the purpose of reporting on outbreaks less violent—though they took place in the midst of war—than those now occurring in peaceful American states. Post-war restlessness and prohibition have been held accountable for the spasmodic outrages on the rights of individuals. The unsettled state of affairs and the disregard for all law that has followed naturally the extensive disregard for the Volstead act doubtless play their part in the present situation. Be a more serious incitement is that spirit of intolerance which is the natural offspring of campaigns to make all persons conform to one standard, be it morals, religion, or political belief. Americanization drives carried to an unthinking extreme, religious prejudice, race hatreds and blue law and censorship enforcement are to be blamed for the present disregard for law. Organizations, many of them inspired by the highest motives, set out to remake human nature by shortcut methods, thinking only of the desired result without one thought as to the means used to attain it, and as a harvest the nation is now reaping lawless "short-cuts" of savage violence. Good intentions are every-where admired, but good intentions unmixed with a sprinkling of intelligence, have brought much suffering to individuals and to nations. Good intentions gone wrong are the source of the flogging outrages.

Butler, prominent in Democratic circles, who killed William Freeman and fatally injured Mary Lou Gamble, both colored, at Fayetteville, Ala., was held under bond for carrying concealed weapons. Felix Randolph, a colored man, Freeman and fatally injured Mary "sassed" Roy Toney, white, and paid Lou Gamble, both colored, at Fayetteville, Ala., was held under bond His body was thrown in the river. We left the battle fields feeling that some one should have been killed; that some blood should have been drawn; that thousands of the dead and wounded should have been left strewn in the path of the deciding battle. But we did nothing of the kind. We simply ceased fire. The Germans have never felt that they were whipped on the field. When a war ends like the last one ended—with every one claiming victory, and nothing decided at the point of the bayonet, the soldiers leave the field mad, and they return home mad, and they are seeking blood. It is this desire to see some body licked to a finish that makes for crime; in this country and in the others. Americans are blood thirsty because they generally get blood on the field. Having failed in this, they are mad. The spirit is abroad in the country, and it has to find its outlet upon other Americans because the enemy we fought is across the water. Anger and a thirst for blood are finding victims upon the slightest provocation, and the condition will continue, until we are farther removed from war and its thirst for blood. Laws to cheek this tidal wave of crime are needed before the whole nation suffers at the hands of those who have the phobia. The time to be positive with criminals is when they are bent upon their mischief. They must be caught in the act, and punished immediately and adequately, or they will have no respect for law, or law enforcement. We are leading the world in crime. Let us lead in crime prevention. EDITORIAL COOLIDG REFLECTION (By FLOYD J. CALVIN) We have been profoundly grieved by the death great President, Mr. Warren Gamaliel Harding, him a great President because we really great standards by which we measure him do not label can Presidents as having been great. We would James Buchanan or Andrew Johnson typical occer the White House, neither do we have any special Chester A. Arthur or Rutherford B. Hayes. We don't measure greatness as being the same in all men. We group Grant, Cleveland and Taft uniform manner and bearing; we stand Roosevelt son alone—Roosevelt for his "go-getting" spirit for his intellectuality; and for their charming per- link Lincoln, McKinley and Harding. Our idea is not that all Presidents are great because they are President—notwithstanding that the nation's chief executives occupies equally a position. We are of the opinion that the election of a p is an accident. Politics is a rough game and tend to —to cause pussy-footing and vacillation—so much so the time one goes from the lowly first round to the political ladder, if he is not an exceptional charis liable to be indefinite and uncertain. Unless there natural gift which attracts and inspires confidence, it be statesman is likely to fade far short of his boil- bitions. To our mind Mr. Warren G. Harding possessed natural gifts which would have made him a great if he had never risen above the editorial rooms of his newspaper. He would have lived and died well like who knew him in his home town, his pastor would of what a blameless life had been his, old friends w recalled many acts of kindness, and the outside world never have known of this beautiful soul that passed out the pomp of the greater great. Mr. Harding was lovable, gentle and kind, or less a paternalistic or fatherly air. You could also assured that he would be patient, and he would give consideration to any meritorious question and that he not agree with you he would not get excited and stating his views to the contrary. Mr. Harding said of man you would be glad to claim as your friend, would delight in talking to and to whom you honored to present to others of your acquaintance. I not mean that this would be the case with Mr. Hard President, just because he was President, but that be the case with Mr. Harding or any other man of inside or outside the White House. At his passing we feel we have lost a friend—man with vast executive powers, but a kindly, humbly whom you believed would not knowingly do a single thing, and in whom you had complete faith. We believe all men make mistakes. We believe that Harding made some mistakes. But we do not that he intended to make mistakes. Such errors as we feel safe in attributing to the head and not that Such shortcomings as fell his lot we feel free to learn in light of his sincerity of purpose and broad and good will. In his life we find the true principle of "love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and thou bor as thyself." Speaking specifically of Mr. Harding's attic colored people we should like to quote a part of his the Governor of Alabama on the Tuskegee hospital: "It is quite correct that we are working up a plan of organizing the Tuskegee hospital for colored officers and staff. It is an institution for Negro service men. It is located adjacent to great Negro university. These people have a right to prove their ability to be of service among the selves. The decision is not final, but certainly a program will be followed out if we find availiable the abundance of experienced professional people to inaugurate such a program." This is simple, clear and straightforward. It is the political strategist and reveals the inner man, though contrary to what the Alabama governor wishes, message was like a balm to an agitated wound. At President's position was known and was stated without this, we believe, was characteristic of Harding's tions toward colored citizens at all times. He bore ill will; he meant well by them; he would stand by the major and fundamental issues. He could not champion in every case and he did not do it in every case, but it often enough to show on which side his heart lay. WHAT THEY SAID LAST WHAT THEY SAID LAST The Nation, in its most gloom-spreading mood "inherited a rant world that Calvin Coolidge is "President of the United States of fiction" and he did not take the reported part in the Boston punk in 1919. Says the Nation: "In 1919 the public was given to understand that Mr. Borden, then Governor of Massachusetts, had broken the Boston police strike and restored order to a helpless and crime-laden city by his courage, firmness, and patriotism in calling for the Calvin Coolidge was hailed as a savior from the breach of disintegration and disunion. Since Coolidge has succeeded in keeping the police has been told by nearly new newspaper in the country; it is the crown stone of his career. The only flaw is that it rests on about the same foundation of historical truth as the legend of George W. Washington and the cherry tree. The police strike was broken by lie opinion, led by a business-controlled press, while President restored by militia in Boston called out by Andrew P. Patterson. Coolidge sat discretely on the fence when he saw on which side the government was working. When he had manifested itself distinctly against the police, and after his danger had been averted, Governor Coolidge climbed from the fence on the side of the crowd and issued a bonfire proclamation needlessly mobilizing the entire State Guard. Wilmington, Delaware, is having its troubles. When the part of that city, by the votes of six Republican members of the city, deservesance prohibiting the holding of a knife that to stir up racial and religious strife, wit, the KKK that "stirred up" the blood of the colored population. The F.B.I. Public Journal says: Without the colored vote in Delaware the Republican Party is doomed to defeat. We, as colored people, cannot support Republian party as long as it is joined to the Klan. We choose whom we shall support. The Republican councillor men, by their vote, helpless of the whims of the colored people, defended the ordinance introduced by Councilman Hopkins had for its purpose the keeping of the Klan from holdingings in Wilmington. As the Republican party is responsible these men, we advise our race to keep a long memory and in the first opportunity hold the party to a strict responsibility for the recrency of its members. Vote against it and vote for man garded of party until the Republican party purges itself of gang that prostitutes its principles and casts odium on its former good name.
