VOLUME XLI, NO. 50 CAND Political Hon. John Colored Repu ton of New OHIO GOVERNOR FAILS TO PROTECT CITIZEN DOES NOT ANSWER LETTER IN ARTHUR HILL CASE. NEW YORK, October 24—(Special Dispatch from N. A. A. C. Ps., National Office)—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue today announced that Governor A. V. Dohaney, of Ohio, had failed to give satisfactory assurance of protection for Arthur Hill and his wife, colored citizens of Garfield Heights, a suburb of Cleveland, who had been prevented by intimidation of white mobs from occupying a home they had purchased there. The case has been repeatedly called to Governor Donahey's attention, by Harry E. Davis, member of the Ohio Legislature and a member of the N. A. A. C. P. Board of Directors, also in person and by leader by James Weldon Johnson, N. A. A. C. P. Secretary In July of this year Mr. Davis reported to Governor Donahey that a mob of 200 whites had surrounded Arthur Hill's house, had come upon the porch forcing Mrs. Hill to flee and terrifying Mr. Hill's younger brother. Mr. Hill was denied protection by the Cleveland police force on the ground that he lived outside city limits; and the local marshal or constable simply told him to defend himself with a gun. A second mob warning to leave, which Mr. Hill reported to the Mayor of Garfield Heights brought only the response that the village could not afford to pay for protection and furthermore that colored people had no right to purchase such a nice home. Governor Donahay referred the matter to the Ohio Attorney General, but in August a mob again gathered and the Hill family again had to flee. Petitions bearing 800 signatures asking protection for the colored residents, were forwarded to Governor Donahay by Mr. Davis. On September 15, Mr. Davis wrote to the N. A. A. C. P. National Office, saying in part: "Governor Donahay has shown no disposition to protect these people in the enjoyment of their home." Later in September, James Weldon Johnson, at an Emancipation Day meeting in Springfield, O., where he spoke from the same platform with Governor Donahay, again called the case to his attention, personally, and followed his remarks with a letter written October 10, asking positive action to enable the Hill family to occupy their home, and urging the Governor to make a statement to that effect, as: "The negative remedy of removing an officer if he does no do his duty, does not reach the case. That does not enable Mr. Hill and his wife to occupy the home which they have purchased. They ought to be protected in their right to do this, and it seems to me there ought to be some authority in the State of Ohio which will uphold them in this right." No reply having been received from Governor Donahay, the N. A. A. C. P. has felt compelled, in view of the impending election, to make the above facts public.

The closing week of the political campaigning of all parties indicates that the woman vote constitutes the element of doubt in the calculations "The ladies. God bless 'em" usually change their minds whenever the fit takes them and for that reason, the men, who love them are watching their every movement and await the last minute verdict to determine just how they will vote. The betting odds have lengthened on President Coolidge and the consensus of opinion now seems to be that the effort to throw the election in the House of Representatives, thus producing a deadlock, which might result in the elevation of Gov. Charles W. Bryan to the presidency has failed. THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT. Win or lose, Senator Robert M. Isa. Follett has created a sentiment in this country, which may be as far-reaching as that produced by Hon. William J. Bryan, who revolutionized affairs in this country. Hon. John W. Davis has made an ideal candidate, battling against almost irresistible odds and there are thousands, who believe that he will land in the White House at Washington. The betting odds in New York are now 6 1-2 to 1 that Calvin Coolidge will be elected next Tuesday. --- ```markdown ``` --- ```markdown ``` (attending) of Boost General under the Bureau of Vote Cosgo, going over the timersix\ and the timers Opicigo, going Dr William J. ex-Genera) un ite (standing) wife (stabbing) of Boston new-general under the and Dr. William J.

NEXT EXERCISE KEEP LEGS STIFF HANDS OVER HEAD BEND FORWARD TOUCHING TOES ALL TOGETHER-NOW-ONE-TWO- -DOWN-UP-ONE-TWO- OAKLAND, Calif.-Clara Sydney has come back to her own after a perilous trip through the land of crime. Now she wants to forget. The rustle of silk, the love of adventure-jazzmania. All of these forces combined to drive her from home and into an underworld she was to rule. Then—disillusionment. Closing the door of her parents' home, the girl made the break, crossed that invisible line which separates the worlds of right and wrong. She found ready place in the underworld, became one of three women in the "McDonald gang" fitted so well that she became acknowledged love of George McDonald, the leader, and queen. Adventure she found. Midnight rides and lootings. Evasions of police cordons. Hysteria of parties celebrating "jobs" accomplished, the rights of circles where the fist is the law within the law. - DOOM SEALED Keen-witted, the girl learned much. She knew when to stand against authority and when to run, when to hide and when to venture forth, she learned the art of disguise so well that for weeks she walked the streets of Oakland dressed as a boy, undejected. But one thing she did not learn, that where life is raw no chances can be taken. She introduced her chum, Geraldine Shipley, to her lover. From that time, doom of the gang turtled. The two chums were far different appearance and character, Clara terminated and with masculine line skin and mouth; Geraldine softer.

Though chief topic of conversation, the love duel did not hinder active operations of the sangaters. In a rapid series of robberies, they made good hauls until perhaps some $33,000 is charged. The police, concentrated, found clues, threw a circle about the operators closed in gradually. IN THE NET But unmindful of the closing cordon, the battle for McDonald's love went on until finally it reached physical warfare, a pitched battle of fists between the two girls while the gang looked on. Then, affairs thus grown crucial, the hand of the law closed—closed but missing all except one man and the two girls. The man held silence, protested he knew nothing. No evidence, and the gang must be allowed to go its way in safety, police believed. Then Clara, bitter with jealousy, gave full information, branded her unfaithful lover with the crimes charged, told officers where to find the other woman, Geraldine. Geraldine was arrested, and the rivals met within the respectability circle again. All the underworld habits slipped from them, their jealousy vanished—even became ridiculous in their eyes. "And," added Miss Sydney, "I know now that this underworld adventure 'romance' is all bunk." So McDonald, cause of it all, has gone out of her life forever, she nope.

LaFollette is "four square" relative to equal rights and privileges for all races TEACH your children politeness, colored folks, toward white folks, and they will exercise politeness towards colored folks also. TRYING to increase racial bitterness towards white people generally because some white folks hate and persecute us, is dangerous business and will finally result in our own undoing. WONDERS will never cease. Hon. John W. Davis. the Democraic candidate for the Presidency, spoke in Liberty Hall, a place owned and controlled by Marcus Garvey and his supporters. THE POLITICAL SITUATION THE PRESENT political situation may be puzzling to some of our people, but to the individual who has not lost sight of recent political events, it is very clearly defined. Hon. Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts is, in some respects a quaint New Englander, who has been so puzzled by conflicting interests and peculiar conditions in certain sections of this country that he has, called into consultation certain experts or alleged experts to advise him and his managers in finding the road which leads to political success. Fundamentally speaking, he believes in great principles and he is naturally disposed to follow and support them, but he is warned by some of his advisors to march as near the outside boundaries as possible with a disposition to step out of the path should the exigency of the situation demand the sacrifice. It is plainly apparent that no President, Democrat or Republican, can withstand the mismaa of race prejudice as it now exists at Washington and it is a vain hope to expect it of any one of the candidates now presenting themselves for recognition at the polls. Candidates, as a rule, who promise most in the recognition of the colored citizen along the lines set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution have no chance of being elected. Even William Jennings Bryan, with his famous "Prince of Peace" oration and his enunciation of the principles set forth in the Scriptures, became enough tainted with Negro-bophia as to enfile him to the support of some of the most rabid Negro-hating Democrats of Florida, his adopted State. Frankly speaking, we do not believe that the distinguished occupant of the White House is any more in favor of the Ku Klux Klan and its policies than Hon. John W. Davis, who openly and strenuously condemns both. He is simply following out the policies of his predecessors in office and listering to the warnings of the political managers, whom he has chosen to guide and direct him. He stands "four square" upon fundamental principles, with such mental reservations as will bring political success. But what about Hon. John W. Davis? He is an ideal candidate and practically in every respect with the sole exception of the men composing the Party as worthy of hearty support as is the present occupant of the White House. He means what he says and would keep his promises if he could, but he will meet the same stern racial pressure as did the late lamented Woodrow Wilson. Like the picture, he will turn his promises regretfully to the wall after he is Now Comes the Big Noise elected, and lament, probably wil't tears in his honest eyes, the frailty and weakness of man. To speak plainly, no individual can breast the waves of popular approval or disapproval successfully. Grover Cleveland was the last statesman of this type and he is remembered with reverence by those of us, who long for a return of statesmen to great leadership. The distinguished West Virgintan and New Yorker is a fleet runner with a millstone about his waist, so far as the prosperous States of the East and those bordering on the Mississippi are concerned. The political campaigners in this section of the country speak only of Davis as the Democratic candidate The threat of a Bryan even as near the White House as the Vice-Presidential chair sends a tremor through Democrats in this section and if Calvin Coolidge is elected, it will be brought about by Democrats who will vote the Republican ticket, not because they love John W. Davis or West Virginia less, but because they hate Charles W. Bryan and his brother more. Even Davis' friends have not forgotten the wanton attack made upon this distinguished American in the Democratic National Convention in New York, when he failed to mention his name in his list of eligible candidates for President. It may be thought that despite all of this the unexpected may happen and the American people may land him in the White House Should this take place, it will be in the nature of a miracle. But what about Hon. Robert M. La Follette, that sory petrel from Wisconsin? It is practically admitted that he is not running win. He has "shied his caster in the ring" in behalf of a principle or as might be said in the interest of many principles. He is the champion of the "under-dog". He is the Henry of Navarre champion of the rights of the masses as those masses stand arrayed against plutocracy. He has done well, but he leaned too far backward or went too far forward, when he proposed to nullify a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States by congressional action. He might have provided a plan for the purification of the Supreme Court itself, by making the elevation to the bench a more difficult proposition, but he argued in favor of the destruction of that coordinate power, the wiping out of that gentle balancing of power by destruction of the checks upon precipitate action and the abolishing of the conservation of the rights of an otherwise helpless minority. On all other great fundamental principles, so far as we have been able to observe, he is an ideal candidate of the type and class of the electorate which he represents He is fearless, tireless and able. This American people have never had and we fear will never again possess a statesman of his type. His aim is to build up a new party to displace or to supplant one of the old ones. His efforts though are undermining his constitution and for these reasons alone, he is "hastening cowardly his setting." Still his writings, his speeches, his remarkable personality will live after him, and tens of thousands will gather around the shaft to be erected in his memory to call him blessed. It is for the citizen of color to THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA decide just what he will do in the premises. Consider men and principles and regardless of the one thing or the other, of what is or what is to be, let the voier make up his mind and in the quiet sanctity of a voting place select the candidate that conforms best to his wishes and is most likely to accord to him. as far as is in his power, fundamental rights denied.

HAVE BETTER HAIR EVERYBODY Likes TO LOOK YOUR BEST ```markdown ``` COLORFUL NEWS "MOVIES" "SHEARING" THE NEGRO VOTE When November 5, 1924, dawns upon the anxious public, it will undoubtedly be apparent that the Negro vote will have lost some of its national strength. Whether or not it will have been shorn of its specifically local influence in certain state and subordinate election districts, and whether or not its national influence, fairly strong or notoriously weak, will need curative attention, are entirely digerent questions which we shall discuss at another time. We boldly assert, however, that as a national proposition the 1r24 Negro vote, regardless of who succeeds to the Presidency, will have yielded up a goodly portion of its heretofore potential strength. Here follow our reasons: The defection from the G. O. P., which we predict will be less than its "bark" indicates, has nevertheless taken away from the chain of Negro radical progress under previous rule, whether Democratic or Republican, some of the strongest links thereof. Many of these "links" are outstanding ones. Former Assistant U. S. Attorney-General Lewis, who has gone to the Democrats: Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who has gone to La Follette; and numerous other gentlemen and scholars, of equal if not greater importance in the heroic problem of interracial adjustment in America, who, with their followers, have taken a "healthy" sector of the voting strength of 5,810,000 Negro voters, powerful only when massively compact, and left the rank and file of the Race's membership. These departees, political emigrants, as it were, quote the late President Harding, and say that it is good to have a house divided against itself. They say the "split" will ultimately bring good results. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, another departee, states that the "split" will eventually become an indirect cause of the removal of unfavorable conditions as to suffrage, etc., in the Solid South. We hold no grievance with the departees. We recognize their right to depart, and we believe they are sincere in exercising that right, just as other American voters have done in the past, to vote according to the dictates of their conscience. We do say, though, that the "shearing" of five million Negro votes reduces the national strength of the Negro electoral college of the popular vote.

Supreme Court uphold the Texas Courts which had refused to grant an injunction against the Houston Democratic Executive Committee for excluding Negroes from voting in a primary election. "BUT", said Mr. Justice Holmes, of the U. S. Supreme Court, "IF the case stood here as it stood before the court of the first instance, it would present a grave question of constitutional law, and we should be astute to avoid hindrances in the way of taking it up." Forewarned is forearmed, and thus does the U. S. Supreme Court serve notice upon Texas and point out to Attorney Evans, the colored lawyer from the Lone Star State, who so ably presented the case of the colored voters to our highest judicial tribunal, just what the future may bring forth should further attempts be made to bar colored voters from the poll. While the Negro protestants must begin all over again to perfect a case, the inference of the U. S. Court is fine encouragement to them and to all who are harassed by pernicious instrumentalities of evasion of constitutional amendments. It tapes money and time and brains, of course, to pursue such court proceedings; and the encouragement found in the high court's decision will stimulate the usage of all those essentials, not only in Texas but wherever the State forces of any party are attempting to maintain a barrier between the Negro and the ballot-box.

Com' on, great sport. I bet you're game, aren't you. Sallie?" she appealed to me, me edging over to the table where I stood, regarding Warren Fisher's orchids which I was wearing. My thoughts were away. Anne and Curtis...at church together, when he might have stayed with me that morning. Sunday night again the two of them together. I don't know why, but I felt like I would get even with Curtis Wright if I did something wild and devilish of which he would disapprove if he were present "High, O. Judy!" I cheered her on. "I'll help you get them started!" I leaped to the table. "Who wants to stay up all night? 'till the teeny-weeny hours and play STRIPED poker?" I challenged. "I do." "Count me in." "Now you're talking!" and similar remarks of approval came from all parts of the room and then a cute little aviator in uniform fairly showed: "Suits me, I wanna win Sallie's ill red heels!" remembering my dancing slippers. "Shucks, I wanna win Sallie," deigned Peter McMillan, "and have been tryin' to ever since I saw her in her cradle." "Peter was a dear and so faithful, as were they all. Iook in the room at a glance. It was a jolly crowd. Everyone was in a good humor. A Victrola was playing a popular jazz song, 'What'll I do When You Are Gone Away—What'll I do?' drawn by Elsie Baker. "Aw, 'can the singin'. We'd rather hear Sallie. Give us a toast," and I eyes turned in my direction. Instantly he room was quiet. A compliment—from a crowd in high spirits. They liked me and I liked them. They were MY kind of people. We spoke the same language, and I could FEEL their approval. They depended on me so whooh things up for them, and, by Jove, I wouldn't fall them. I'd help them have a good time. The kind of good time they gave. "A toast, Sallie!" they clamored. I raised my glass. "I give you...the Younger Set!" "We believe the one unpardonable s is—being bored." "We forgive anything in each other—excess being stupid. "We promise that whatever happens tonight we will never speak of it and also promise to forget every thing in the morning" ".."Bravo, Salie! Encore!" There was a din of applause and then silence. "Here's to Life, Love and Laughter." I continued. "Let us hereby dedicate our lives to pleasure!" I had tried to throw my whole self into the toast I was making and yet, during the entire time I had the feeling that alien eyes were watching. Following my impulse, I glanced toward the far end of the room and saw a man standing in the doorway. Catching my gaze he starred waik across the room in my direction. I knew that walk—my heart was leaping. I recognized the swing of his arms and shoulders. It was Curtiss Wright. I felt a sense of joy and a the same time a flood of confusion. He reached my side and offered his hand to assist me from the table. "Did you like my toast?" I asked. "Is there some place we could so and talk quietly together?" he ignored my question. "First tell me how you got here an do you know everybody? Why didn't you tell me you were invited o the party?" "I was not," he replied. "I came for a purpose." he added. "Walt. Sallie," yelled someone across the room, "you've made us hold our glasses so long the stuff is ageing. How 'bout the signal?" That meant for me to finish what I started. "Oh, yes, Mr. Wright—this is the gang." He bowed courteously. "We were juss tobout to partake of a lil' liquid refreshment. Won't you join us?" He was offered glasses from every where but I noticed he placed his on the table. Once more I lifted my glass Once more, "Here's hoping this prohibition stuff we're drinking from the Mitchell's cellar won't" result in anything worse than headaches in the morning." With that, I earned and followed Mr. Wright, who was apparently eager for my attention. Outside on the terrace. I jumped up and sat on the railing. He stood silently beside me for a moment. Then taking both my hands in his, he said in a voice that was grave and tender: "I've come to take you home, Sallie." "I don't see why that's necessary. Isn't Anne sufficiently entertaining?" "Please don't." he pleaded. "She has nothing to do with his." "Oh, doesn't she?" "I aughed scornfully." "Then why did you take her to church, and why did you go to her house Sunday night for supper?" I flung at him, the words that had been burning in my brain all evening. He looked puzzled. He held my hands closer and his grasp was sure and gentle. I liked the firm pressure of his cool fingers.

It was sent to this paper by Miss Lillian Greenfield and contains many intriguing synonyms and anonyms. It is our suggestion that our readers cut out the question and save it, after it has been solved, until the answer has been published. In our next issue we will print the answer to this puzzle and a new puzzle. In starting to solve the puzzle printed here, it is suggested that the better way of doing it is to work "all around", that is, do not attempt to get all the vertical, words and let the horizontal words take care of themselves, and do not work the horizontal words to the exclusion of the vertical ones. Work them both together, you will find it easier and just as much fun. DAD MORGAN stod with his shoulders against the top tail of the corral fence, apparently asleep on his feet. The sin had a persuasive warmth, which was good for kinks in the system. He never could decide whether it melted or baked the twinges out of him but he knew it for an emollient of power and virtue. His figure dropped ammonially. His pipe hung loosely from a corner of his mouth. His eyes were half closed. But Dad Morgan was not asleep, nor were his half-closed eyes idle. They were watching two riders descend the slope on the far side of the wide course in which the ranch buildings sprawled. There was a preabid horse ridden by a girl and a sorrel ridden by a man. They were still somewhat distant for disclosure of these details, but Dad Morgan knew who was "coming". The pace of the riders was a walk, and Dad understood the meaning of it. "I expect he's got himself all chafed up," he mused. "But he'll put it on his nerves: see if he don't. Nothin ever happens to him regular and natural, except maybe sweaty." The riders were out upon a green level, and the pebald horse broke into an easy lope. The sorrel followed, then checked and settled down to a restless walk. The girl in front turned in her aaddle, glanced backward, brought her mount to a stop and waited. When the sorrel had come abreast the two horse walked again, in the direction of the ranch. Dad Morgan grinned, shifted his position against the fence and began filing his pigs. He was smiling lazily when the ranch took a pause at the corral gate. The girl swung off with an easy sweep and waved a gauntlet hand! "Hello, Dad." "Howdy, Sally? Howdy, Wreck?" The man on the sorrel made no answer for he was engaged in a task. With both hands gripping the pommel, he raised himself in the stirrups, tightened his lips, and scrowled. Then, very slowly, he ferthed his right leg across the sorrel's back. As he did this he flattened himself forward until he pommel burrowed into the pit of his stomach and his arms gripped the sorrel's tongue. Then he slid enupease to the ground. He stood there, looking, looking at his legs, which had retained the posture necessary to endure the barrel of a horse. Slowly he straightened them one after the other. There was a creak in his look, but he did not give it speech. He turned a savage and chattering eye in the direction of Dad Morgan. "I'm fine," he said. "You're lookin real well." observed Dad. "Had an idea you might of got lamed up some, but I can't say as I see any signs of it." The rider on the horse stumped stiffly and half a dozen steps. "Who-me? Lame? What would I get jame for?" "Come to think of it. Wreck. I'murned if I know. I reckon anybody who can set on a fluvier for fifteen hundred miles, maybe sixteen hundred. is kind of accustomed. Anhow the sheriff says—" Dad Morgan broke off at a slight but peremptory resture from the girl who had opened the corral gate and was accelerating the peebald horses through it with a gentle fluk of other. She was a free, loose-limbed girl, sworn in the cheeks and neck. and serene of eye—a girl of the open spaces and the rolling range. The wide calm of the big country somehow found its expression in Sally Morgan. But the look that went with the gesture, while it never broke the calm, checked Dad as surely as though it had been an order from Ma herself. The rider of the sorrel watched his mount follow the piedra into the corral, then straightened his shoulders, set his teeth and stepped off briskly in the direction of the house. He stumbled once, pulled himself together with a wince and hastened his stop. Dad watched him until his figure disappeared through the doorway. "Now I'm wonderin' which nerves—" Sally stopped him again. "Let him alone, Dad. He's game, anyhow." "I ain't sayin' anything he can hear Sally I'm just wonderin' which nerves is responsible. We ain't allowed to lay it on the sorrel, or on the saddle, or on any of the falling of human flesh. It's got to be nerves or nothin'." "Well, don't plague him about it. "HE DON'T MIND MY CALLIN' HIM WRECK." If he wants to blame it on his nerves, why should we care? And I don't think he likes to have you call him Wreck. He viewed his daughter with a chance of surprise. "He ain't ever said so," he remarked. "And would you expect him to? He's a guest." "He's payin eight dollars a week to Ma. I ignot sayin we asked him for it. Ma didn't want to take nothing. But when a man's payin, he got the rights of free and unlimited speech. And if he don't like—" "He's a guest, just the same," repeated Sally "And so long as he stays here... he is under an obligation to treat him right." "I'm trusting a single thing about life in these wild and irreverent parts I haven't told him, any time he asked me. Why all I been doin the past two weeks is easin education into him." Sally smiled. "And I've picked up considerable about nerves, which sort of makes it an even split. added Dad. He don't mind my callin him Wreck. If he was gone to squeal about it. why would he lav claim to be such? You heard him say it. I'm a nervous wreck, he says sort of proud. Oh, well. don't rub it in. Why would he lav claim to be such?

"It it was awfully funny," she said, "but I was scared for a minute. We rode over as far as the second edge; I wanted him to see a real piece of range country. He wouldn't admit he never been on a horse before. But he did pretty well, although the sorrel was getting nerves from the way his mouth was pulled." "It's catchin. maybe." Perhaps. At any rate, we were standing there, right close to the edge, when a bee lit—on the sorrel. You know what happened. The way he went over that horse's head you have thought he learned to fly. It carried him over the edge, too, and he went down about twenty feet before he grabbed down a bush and stopped himself. I thought he was going all the way. "I expect you roped him!" observed Dad. He wouldn't let me. He got mad as fury when he saw I was going to. He said he guessed he could climb back without any help, and he did. And he would let me catch the sorrel, either. It must have taken him twenty minutes at least. And then it took him another five minutes to get on. I can't describe exactly the way he did it. It was the shinning up. Of course, he was pretty well scratched and mussed, and his temper was in a frightful state. "Any language?" asked Dad. "No he was too heavy. I think coming home he must fall off write, trying to ease himself in the cuddle. But he never squirmed." And he savs he's going out riding tomorrow ming. He won't make it, though, he too lame to move." Dad nodded with understanding. Any dude would be too lame to move under equal circumstances. Yet he was not entirely certain that the Wreck would fall to move, even though too lame for he had a way or playing the game according to his own rules. "I'll put on a house dress, I believe," said Sally. "Sure," agreed Dad. "Bob's here. She paused for an instant, a look of surprise in her eyes. "When did he come?" I didn't expect him until tomorrow morning. "He came a while back. He amoin to be able to go with you tomorrow, as near as I can make out. Sally frowned involuntarily, the shrugged and continued her marrow toward the house. Dad settled back against the fence and resumed his musing. Sally would be migratory appointed if she did not get to train tomorrow she was an pack and expectant. But he knew the she would say very much: she mused on a hand at complaint in. Still it seemed, even to Dad that it was too bad to postpone everything right at the last minute. He would not mind rolling over her himself, but it was too long trait for people with twinges at knits. Sometimes he wished ranch was a little mite near the railroad. But Sally never even conplained about that. There had been no railroad at when Dad Morgan came into the range country at least, none with a couple of hundred miles or more. Now there was a main line north of them, only about thirty-five miles on a good trail. It seemed very near to Dad when it first came, but when Sally began going to school in the East, and there were seasonal going and comings, with the necessity of maintaining communications between city and ranch. Dad realized that it was not very close, after all. So far as he and Ma were concerned, that made no difference. But Sally had grown up, and she had she had an education, and she knew the ways of places beyond the range country, and even Sally was quite satisfied with the range country, provided she was not quarantined there. It was not a very large ranch that Dad Morgan surveyed through hail-squinted eyes, nor was it a busy one. The air of idleness was everywhere about it. idleness, but not decay. It was simply a ranch taking a low and honorable rest. The busy wee were behind it.

WHAT AILS THE CHURCH? UNCERTAIN, COY, AS USUAL. MOTHER, FIRST, LAST. THE BANKERS SING. President Coolidge notifies the world in general, including would-be monopolists of radio privileges, that nobody will be "allowed to monopolize the air." That's welcome. Ordinary monopolies the people recognize as national American institutions—electric light, railroads and other things. But they WOULD like the air to remain free, if possible. Even in front of gasoline stations you see the sign "Free Air." The President should be congratulated on having put that sign up outside the White House. What is the matter with the Church? Many old-fashioned preachers ask that question. Clergymen, secure in their pulpits, like the distinguished Dean Inge, of St. Paul's, in London, calmly tell you that one of the great Apostes was not inspired; he only had epileptic fits. All this isn't new. Clergymen are making every effort to restore religious enthusiasm. In New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine, sixty Bishops, magnificently robed in brilliant colors, accompanied by "Honorary Canons" the clergy of the cathedral, the choir, etc., recently paraded through a building that cost millions of dollars. That was most impressive. But perhaps half a dozen fishermen, sitting in a rowboat that cost less than $20, discussing religion earnestly, might do more for faith than any ten-million-dollar cathedral. Woman, in her hours of ease, continues to be coy and uncertain. In Paris, she is having her shoulders rouged. In London, artists at artificial freckles on women there petty puzzling service nonsense. Olympias mother of Alexander doing wild dances with snakes wrapped around her, no other clothing, and your great grand mother, with her hoop skirt trailing on the ground and smelling salts, both represent progress in some mysterious way. Woman is a belly more complicated than man. Her evolution is longer, more intricate. Antoile France dies, calling for his mother. The great French writer had lived 80 years, achieved fame, a great name. All that seemed small in the last minute of the 80 years. The memory of his mother stood out above all the rest. At the beginning and at the end the mother comes first. In between, others have their turn. The big Zeppelin ZR-2 started for America to the tune of "Deutschland usber Allee." If that big unwieldy gas bag can leave Germany on a Monday morning and land in Lakehurst, four thousand miles away, on the following Wednesday morning, how long do you think it will take high-powered, heavier-than-air machines to cross the Pacific or the Atlantic with TNT and poison gas a few years from now? Big bankers, thousands of them, gathered in Chicago recently, quite happily. They sang songs waiting for the speaking to start, and told each other, "Business is fine." But one little crumpled rose leaf is in the soft financial mattress. "There is among the bankers uncertainty over social unrest." Sorry to disturb bankers, but that uncertainty is a good thing. It makes bankers and other important men think, it always has made them think, and it's about the only thing that DOES make them think—about the little people. Who notices a mule that doesn't kick? There was much uncertainty among the "better element," in the days of the Gracchi before Christ was born. There has been more or less of that uncertainty ever since. And where the uncertainty has been LACKING there has been trouble. You can't change anything in this world suddenly. You can't even change a caterpillar into a butterfly in five minutes. Arguing with a caterpillar, begging to be "class conscious" won't do it.

Lee He used as a text for the occasion Deuteronomy 8:2.

VIRGINIA Hon. John W. Davis' Denial. I am informed that the question of my activity in favor of legislation advocating the disfranchisement of the Negro and establishing so-called "Jim Crow" laws governing transportation has again been raised. In the Democratic Convention of 1908 Mr. Louis Bennett was nominated Democratic candidate for Governor, and it was the delegates who supported him who advocated the introduction of a so-called "lily-white" plank in the Democratic platform. As a delegate to this Convention I placed in nomination Thomas E. Hodges, who was opposed to the adoption of this plank, and I advocated his candidacy throughout the Convention. I have so frequently denied these statements that it seems almost unnecessary for me to do so again. It would seem to me that my successful fight in the Supreme Court against certain peonage laws and my efforts which had the result of having the Supreme Court of the United States declare unconstitutional the so-called Grandfather Clause in the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma should be sufficient answer to any falsehoods which may now be circulated concerning my attitude toward the Negro race. I hope you will brand as unqualifiedly false any statements which are not in accordance with the facts given above. Sincerely yours, John W. Davie Dr. John J. Thompson, Prairie City, Mo. In a letter to Mr. Edward W. Henry, of Philadelphia, the charge that Hon. John W. Davis, Democratic candidate for President was an exponent of Jim Crow legislation was vehemently denied by Hon. William J. Lampkins. He wrote in part: "A great many of the Negro news papers of country have mistakenly been carrying glaring headlines to the effect that John W. Davis and his father had been exponents for Jim Dear Dr. Thempkins, I am inform favor of legislat the Negro and esta governing transpor In the Dem Bennett was nomin and it was the del the introduction o Democratic platform placed in nominati the adoption of th throughout the Con I have so f it seems almost un would seem to me t Court against cert had the result of States declare unco Clause in the Cons be sufficient answer circulated concern I hope you statements which a given above.
