TOPEKA PLAINDEALER --- HOSPITAL SITUATION IS VERY ACUTE Committee Demands Immediate Removal of Colonel Stanley. Washington, August 23. (K, N. F. Service.) Negro physicians who complained Friday to President Coolidge were advised to take up their complaint with Director Hines of the Veterans' Bureau. A delegation consisting of Drs. George E. Cannon of Jersey City, N. O. Duma of Washington, J. C. Plummer of Raleigh and L. C. Leva of Charleston, S. C., called on M. Hines and requested the immediate removal of Colonel Robert H. Stanley as commander of the hospital. The physicians went over the whole situation with Director Hines and told him that there was little likelihood of a satisfactory settlement long as Stanley was in command. T' committee further stated that Nern physicians would go to the hospital so long as Stanley is there. At the national convention of Negro physicians and surgeons who will be held in St. Louis the last part of this month, it is seen that this committee will report to the association, which will then about resolutions expressing the wishes of the majority of its members on the veterans' hospital case. Topeka, Kan., August 20, 1923. My friends, on behalf of District No. 14, Sir Knights and Daughters of Tabor, we wish to take this feeble means of extending to the bereaved family and friends our deepest sympathy in this, their hour of sorrow. We know how vain it is to try to hide grief with mere words, yet we wish to take from every grave its fear. Here in this world, where life and death are equal kings, all should be brave enough to meet what all the dead have met. From the wondrous tree of life the bud and blossoms fall with ripened fruit, and in the common bed of earth, the kings and paupers sleep side by side. Why should we fear that which will come to us all? Mrs. Armigliola Williams has been called to the Great Beyond, in the middle of a brilliant and successful life, called home from all worldly suffering and pain, and yet we can not but grieve, as we loved her; and if we humble mortals loved her, would not God, in His infinite wisdom, love her more? She believed that happiness was the only good, justice the only orchilper, humanity the only religion, and love the Priest. She added to the sum of human joy, and were everyone for whom she did some loving service, to bring a blossom to her grave, she would sleep beneath a wilderness of flowers. Our hearts go out in deepest sympathy to the family and we humbly pray Our Father who are in Heaven, to sustain and support them in this great trial and sorrow and to guide their feet in the paths of peace until their ways shall end in the Land Beyond the grave, where they can meet again the dear one, whom they have loved and lost awhile. May they now hear Thee say, "Fear thou not, for I am with you; he not dismaved, for I am thy God. I will strengthen you. I will help you." Mrs. Williams is home, sleeping time away near the mother at whose knee her first childish words were spoken. Those who stand with breaking heart around this casket need have no fear. As we are today, she once has been; as she is now we soon shall be. Life is a narrow vale between the cold and harden peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud and the only answer is the echo of our walling cry. From the voiceless lips of the unreplying dead, there comes no word, but the light of death. Speech cannot contain our love and sympathy. There was, there is, no gentler, stronger, truer woman. We reverently how our heads and say, "Thy will be done." Ransom Taylor, D. D. G. M.

Mrs. Arnicholas Chiles-Williams Called to a Greater Beyond Mrs. Arnicholas Chiles-Williams Called to a Greater Beyond The funeral of Mrs. Arnicholas Chiles-Williams was held from St. John A. M. h. church last Monday afternoon, August 20th. Over five hundred of her relatives and friends attended the funeral. It was very sad indeed when it was only last March she came to buy her aunt, Willow Smith, and she looked the picture of health. At the same time she was unknowingly in the midst of that headed disease, cancer, which had been destroying her for two years. 1930 She went to join her husband at Pine Bluff, Ark., last October, 1922, who is secretary and manager of the State school at that place. Rev. J. R. Ransom, her pastor, preached a very fine sermon on her devoted Christian and useful life. She was kind to all, and very industrious and obedient to her parents. Her mother died January, 1917. The large number of friends from out of town and the great number of telephone calls, letters, and profuse offering of flowers all goes to show she was loved by all. She lived a good Christian life. Durial plot in Mount Auburn cemetery. Her memory will forever be cherished as long as a true friend lives. The world has lost an industrious citizen. Peace be to her ushes, and may her memory be forever cherished. May the noble life she lived be a beacon light for others to follow. May the foot prints she made before her departure from an early life be the means of saving thousands. Just at the time when she was most needed and useful—but the Hand that rules all knew best. Her going may mean the saving of many others. In her angelic thoughts she may now be pleasing the cause of all. Her remains were taken to the home of her father Sunday afternoon, August 19, where it laid in state until Monday afternoon, in the southwest corner of the living room, the space where she was married in June, 1913. After the services at the church Rev. Ransom had the undertaker, Stone-street, take the casket to the front entrance on Topeka avenue, where the body was viewed as the congregation passed out. The family being last, which was a great improvement over the old system. The Progressive Court No. 40 of Culaneth of which she was a member, performed the ceremonies at the church. The District Household of Ruth, No. 12 of Kansas, through Mrs. Letitia Carter, District Noble Governor, and Mrs. Luella Greene, Grand District Recorder, expressed their sympathy. Also the Knights of Tabor, through their District Deputy Ransom Taylor, and Recorder Mrs. Emma Blackwell, read Resolutions.

CALVIN COOLIDGE PRESIDENT (By John T. Adams, Chairman Republican National Corn.) Calvin Coolidge has the complete confidence and unqualified support of the American people in taking up the heavy duties and burdens of the office of president of the United States. This confidence is based upon President Coolidge's private character and public record. President Harding had no one who gave him more unselfish loyalty or faithful service. During his Vice Presidency Mr. Coolidge regarded Mr. Harding as his chief and leader in the fullest and finest sense of the terms. His sincerity was constantly evidenced in the active, tireless work he performed in support of the administration. Mr. Coolidge was the first Vice President who occupied a seat in the cabinet. President Harding's decision to mak Vice President Coolidge one of his official family, in fact as well as theory, was evidence of the high regard the president entertained for Mr. Coolidge's judgment. In view of the tragic occurrences, this act of President Harding seems providential. President Coolidge now assumes the responsibilities of the chief executive with an intimate knowledge of the problems of the nation and policies of the administration. President Coolidge's ability in this emergency to inspire confidence and live reassurance is due not only to its temperament and attainments, but also to his long and successful experience in positions of great responsibility and authority. He is admirably equipped for the great task confronting him. He comes from sturdy American stock who all loved their home, their country and their God. His ancestry, like himself, were of the soil; plain people of democratic instincts and ideals. He possesses the fine qualities of thrift, industry, rugged integrity, a keen sense of justice and fairness, a tremendous capacity for work, the ability to make decisions after due counsel and deliberation, and the firmness necessary to make them effective. To his natural characteristics and his intellectual attainments, there has been added a training of years in the capacity of a public legislator and executive. He served Massachusetts as a member of the state senate and as president of that body, as lieutenant governor and two terms as governor. Massachusetts is one of our greatest commonwealths in Industry, agriculture, finance, business and shipping. Its problems are varied and in themselves form a cross-section of the problems of the United States. It has been progressive. Its labor laws, tax laws, budget system of handling state finances, its administration of charitable and penal institutions have all been taken as models by others states and have attracted students of economic and social problems from all over the world. It is no samll honor to be governor of Massachusetts, no small task to fill the position. Its list of governors embraces some of the best known names in American history. Calvin Coolidge, after serving the people of his state in the state legislature, and again as lieutenant governor, was twice elected by them, upon his record, to fill the highest office within their gift. Their faith was fully justified. He added another name to the long list of great state executives. President Coolidge's character and training is a guarantee of the stability of our government under his guidance. His faith in America, his reverence for her institutions, his devotion to her welfare, his concern for her honor and integrity, and his sympathetic understanding of her people all unite to make it fortunate that he is the one, in this hour of stress, to take the leadership of his countrymen.

REASONS FOR THE HIGHER DEATH RATE Reasons for the higher death rate among Negro babies than among the white babies are suggested in a study made by the U. S. department of labor through the children's bureau in Baltimore. Census figures for the entire United States birth registration area show that the Negro infant mortality rate is considerably higher than the white rate. In the Baltimore study which is the eighth and most important of the series of infant mortality studies made by the bureau, it was possible to discover to a large extent just what causes this difference. Facts were secured from more than 1,000 Negro families in which babies were born during the year of the study. Thirteen per cent of the entire number of births for the year were in these families. The infant mortality rate among these colored families was higher than that of any other group, either native white or foreign born, except among the babies of Polish mothers, which had a slightly higher rate than the Negroes. The Negro rate was 158.6 per 1,000 compared with 95.9 for native white mothers, and compared with 51.0 for babies of Jewish mothers, who had the lowest mortality rate of any nationality group in the city. The bureau agents visited the colored families and analyzed the facts secured in order to see what seemed to be the most important reasons for this high death rate among Negro babies under one year of age. Such facts as the babies' surroundings, the fathers' earnings, mothers' employment, the interval between the births in families, the size of the family, and the type of feeding were analyzed for each of the nationality groups. As to the surroundings of the colored babies, the report points out that Baltimore is built on the alley plan and in these narrow back streets lived a good percentage of the Negro population. A study of housing conditions made some years previous to the bureau's study described certain typical Negro alleys. Space was less congested in those alleys than in the Jewish and Polish districts but a higher percentage of dwellings were seriously out of repair. There was a great lack of decent toilet facilities and the alleys were damp and fithy. In discussing the question of the father's earnings in its effect on the infant death rate, the report points out that the mortality rate for he native white families represents a balance between the high rate found in poor families and the low rate in prosperous families. In the colored group this was not the case. There was an exceedingly high percentage of colored fathers earning the lowest wage and there were almost no "prosperous" colored families. The report draws the conclusion that, "A large part of the difference in mortality, but not all, is evidently due to the greater poverty of the colored families." Another difference found between the colored group and the native white group was the fact that the colored families were larger and the intervals between the birth of the babies shorter than in the white families. After weighing all the evidence however, the report concludes that this difference was a comparatively small factor in accounting for the difference in the death rates. The third factor studies was the employment of mothers. Seventy-three per cent of the white mothers studies were not employed during the year preceding or immediately after the birth. On the other hand only twenty-four per cent of the colored mothers studies were not employed. The report states after analyzing this factor: "It is plain that in some way the mothers' employment was a factor in the excessive mortality of the colored babies, for when all mothers employed away from home. . are eliminated from the comparison, the total mortality rates among the colored babies and the babies in native white families of the same earning groups becomes almost identical, with a very slight difference in favor of the colored babies." More colored babies than white babies, it was found, were nursed by their mothers. Therefore, the higher mortality in colored babies could not be attributed to an excess of artificial feeding in the colored group. Another favorable factor among the colored babies was the large number of them who has been reached thru the infant welfare agencies in Baltimore. It was found that a higher percentage of colored mothers than of white mothers received good prenatal and natal care and a large percentage of colored babies than of the white babies received supervision from infant welfare agencies. In summing up, the report adds "Among the colored babies, then, the greater poverty of the fathers (with the attendant evil of poor housing), the more general employment of the mothers, the tendency toward larger families and shorter intervals between births, and the wider prevalence of venereal diseases indicated by the high mortality assigned to syphilis, were increasing mortality, while mothers' nursing of their babies, prenatal care, and instruction and supervision received from infant welfare agencies, were tending to reduce mortality. As the net result, the mortality from gastric and intertinal diseases—which responds most readily to breast feeding and intelligent care—was relatively low; the mortality from early infancy—which was especially increased by mothers' employment away from home during pregnancy and by the prevalence of venereal disease—was checked by prenatal care from rising to the excessively high rate found in the poorest native white families; and the mortality from respiratory diseases and other communicable diseases, which tends always to rise with poverty, was almost twice as high among the colored babies in the poorest families, as among babies in native white families of the same economic level, suggesting a less protection from exposure to contagious diseases or a lower resistance in the colored families." STANDARDS OF JUVENILE COURTS Standards by which juvenile courts their work for children have just been throughout the country can measure published by the United States department of labor through the children's bureau, in the report of a national committee consisting of prominent juvenile court judges, probation officers and psychiatrists from many states, appointed by the U. S. children's bureau. The report of the committee, of which Judge Charles W. Hoffman of Cincinnati is chairman, was approved at a conference held this spring in Washington by the children's bureau and the National Probation association. It is the product of two years' study of the best methods of safeguarding the interest of the child through the courts. In drafting the standards recommended, the needs of rural as well as urban communities were considered. Important recommendations of the committee are: Every community should have a children's court, equipped to deal with all cases in which a child is in need of the protection of the state, either because of his own conduct, or the failure of parents or guardians to provide proper care. The court should be able to obtain jurisdiction over children at least until the age of 18. Children taken into custody should be shielded from public observation and from conditions which might mark them as criminals, as for instance, transportation in a police van or escorted by a uniformed police officer. The report outlines methods thru which each child may be given scientific treatment adapted to his own needs. It also places emphasis on the care of the child in his own home and his own community, except when adequate investigation shows this is not in the child's best interest. The children's bureau will endeavor to place the report in the hands of all Judges and probation officers and all others interested in Juvenile court work. It is called "Juvenile-Court Standards." RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE Every now and then our beloved St. John is made to mourn because of the passing of some member of its society to the Great Beyond. Sometimes it is one who stood tall and erect as a majestic oak of the forest, whose branches spread in splendor and symmetry, thus giving comfort and joy to all mankind. Sometimes it is one like a tender flower planted in the garden of beauty and as the heavens kiss their unfolding petals they give fragrance and sweetness to all mankind. And whereas at this time such a flower has been plucked from our midst in the person of Sister Arnickolas Chiles Williams. Aud where as from a little girl in our Sunday school to young womanhood in our adult department, where she was always faithful and true, working with might and loyalty to help make our St. John a fit place for praise and worship. Therefore, be it resolved that we extend to her father, her husband, her sister, and other relatives, our most sincere sympathy. Further be it resolved that while her presence will be missed, set the spirit and zeal of her endeavor will continue to live. Thus submitting unto Him who doeth all things well, we bow our hearts in sorrow, knowing her life meet worth while. Respectfully, Class No. 7, St. John A. M. H. Chuch, Tupcka, Kansas, August 20, 1923. AN HONEST-TO-GOODNESS DEMOCRAT Senator Oscar W. Underwood, of Alabama is the first in the field for the democratic nomination for the presidency, doubly armed with priority and partisan temperament. He possesses singular qualifications from a democratic point of view—a penchant for extravagance with public funds and a surfeit of hatred for the colored American. These are the prime qualifications for a democratic candidate, and a good slogan might me, "String Up the Negroes and Expones," because everybody would know who was running and the party re represents. Senator Underwood, it will be remembered, is the same Senator Underwood who conducted the democratic filibuster against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, and who declared from the floor of the senate that the democratic minority would prevent the passage of any of the important measures before that body unless the bill making lynching a crime against the government was abandoned. If there is a rule in politics like the rules in barbershops, whereby those who are first to come are the first to be served, Mr. Underwood has availed himself of that advantage. While McAdoo, Cox, Smith, Ralston and others of the aspirants are simply flirting around within the range of the lightning, the gentleman from Alabama speaks out not "in mournful numbers" concerning his ambition and the faith that is in him. Furthermore, he attempts to use his residence in the South as an argument in favor, rather than against his nomination. Its time-honored traditions against human freedom have for eighty years rendered the selection of one of the South's sons for the presidency repugnant to the country's common sense and conception of justice. Underwood confesses judgment in this, but brazenly announces it as his belief that the period of the South's penance for its "principles" has been sufficiently long. In this the Senator is wrong in a proverbial democratic way, but when he says that the South reflects the fundamental sentiment of the democratic party, he struck keno and is irresistibly right. Reconstruction of the democratic party is as remotely removed from realization now as it was in 1868, simple evidence of which is furnished by the Senator himself, when he essayed to stop all of the functions of the government rather than to acknowledge lynching to be a crime to be stamped out by federal authority. Mr. Underwood's plea that the South should receive its reward in the Democratic nomination because of its sinon-purity in the matter of democratic allegiance is insistent and quite tenable. Says the Senator in his announcement: "Today it is said by some that it is not expedient to have a standard bearer from the South, that it is in the interest of experience we must go to the doubtful states of the Union to select our candidate. Must the South forever waive the right to select one of its citizens as the chief executive of the nation, or must it weaken its democratic faith in order that it can have one of its sons as President of the United States?" Speaking as a democrat to democrats, the Senator surely carries force of logic. Since we are going to have a democratic candidate, let us have the real thing, and not a Northern rubber stamp, who curries favor with the colored people in a local way and runs true to democratic language without stuttering; who believes that lynching, disfranchising and peonage are implements of civilization, and who puts his faith to work like Underwood did with the Dyer Bill.
