This may be our last battle. We believe that it is the beginning of our final triumph. MAY 17, 1923 JOHN MITCHELL, JR THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. VOLUME XLII, NO. 9 Rev. D Throngs S Baptist Joshua and Earthly Eyes Seen at Rev. Dr. Brown's Great Message Throngs Storm Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church--Hundreds Turned Away. Joshua and the Lord God of Hosts Earthly Eyes Opened-Pulpit Orator Seen at His Best-Makes Pro found Impression. The Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church was packed last Sunday morning "from the pulpit to the doors". Only the fire regulations prevented even the aisles from being jammed. Many secured standing room in the galleries while chairs from the lecture room below were brought up to partly relieve the congestion. Still some gazed through the glass doors at the scene within, while a large number were turned away. The occasion was the New Year's message of Rev. A. W. Brown, D. D., the pastor who has caused such a sensation by his pulpit utterances a nice his advent to this city. MUCH RELIGIOUS FERVOR. He were an English walking suit, white vest and presented a striking figure as he spoke. He is given to emphatic gestures and with his sonorous, musical voice, which carries practically "around the block" he succeeded in bringing his hearers up to a point of religious fervor that could not be suppressed. Sister Adams chimed in from time to time and finally sister Martha Sadler led in singing with telling effect. "There is a Little Wheel A'Moving in My Heart". She arose and with a swinging movement of the body had the entire congregation join in the glory bablelutah chorus. AUDIENCE SPELLBOUND It was 12:35 before Dr. Brown proceeded with the delivery of his message and for forty minutes, he held the audience spellbound with one of the most fervid appeals that has ever been heard in this section. A collection of $102.19 had been pre A B REV. A. W. BROWN. D. D. Pastor Sixth Mount Pastor Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church viously licked. The sermon was as follows: Text: "And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: Joshua went up to him and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? and he said, Na'i (neither) but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come". Joshua 5:13-14 SUBJECT: "TAKING STOCK". God had divided the Jordan in the very presence of the Canaanites, Israel's tentts could be seen pitched on the farther side. This had taken the morale of the Canaanites, and seemed the most opportune time for Israel to strike a death blow and win her victory. THEY PITCHED THEIR TENTS AT GILGAL AND WAITED. Instead of this they were ordered to pitch their tents at Gilgal, and wait for further orders. There were three lessons that God wanted Israel to learn before she could be permitted to cross the Jordan and take possession. (1) He did not have to hurry to win his victories, all eternity is His and delay means nothing to him. (2) Israel had failed to keep two commandments while in the wilderness, viz. Circumcision and the Passover. They had not held but two Passovers in forty years—in Egypt and at Sinai. God would not promote them as disobedient children. He rather give them time to repent, and wink at their error.

White) Taking as his subject, "Some Legacies Lett Us By Slavery," Lawyer J. Thomas Newsome, of Newport News, Virginia, in a New Year's address at Williamsburg, Virginia, said in part: "A few years hence and all we shall know of slavery will come to us from history and tradition and the influence it left upon our civilization. The last master and the last slave will have been called to their final account, and we shall have SATTERFIELD WOWF! WOWF! WOOF! RDAY HUNT neither Pharaoh nor Joseph who knew each other. The story of the bondage of our fathers will gradually lose its thrills and its horrors in the exacting demands of a new day and new responsibilities. "Physical slavery will never again exist in this country, but it left us a heritage of delicate problems which we must face boldly and work out courageously if we would keep step with the rapid stride of events now coming to pass in the progress of the world. THAT PECULIAR INSTITUTION. "That the 'peculiar institution' was a double curse, most men now unhesitatingly affirm. One of its greatest evils was the effect it had upon the master class in its attitude respecting labor. Many a conscientious white man was unshaken in his conviction that it was divinely ordained that our ancestors and their descendants, to the end of time, were to serve in the single capacity of hewers of wood and drawers of water. "Common labor and Negro slavery were not only inseparably linked in the South, but both wore badges of inferiority. While the very life of this portion of our country depended in large measure upon manual labor, ye$^2$, because most of it was performed by the slaves, it was the most natural thing in the world that a free man had a decided aversion to it. STRIFE AROSE. "Thus strife arose not only because it was difficult for the other sections of the country where, slavery did not exist, to compete with the South, where free labor was to be had in abundance, but the paid laborer of the North and West deeply resented the growing disposition of the whole country to look down upon the man who labored with his hands. Negro slavery was gradually affecting the whitie laborer in his social relations with the rest of the community. DESPISED THE SLAVE. "A peculiar thing happened. The whisle laborer in all parts of the country, except in the South, learned to hate, not only slavery, but to depise the slave. Strange as it may seem, it is nevertheless true that the antipathy of the laboring white men towards the Negro laborer, even to this day, is greater by far in the North. East and West than in the South. This feeling and the problem which it produces, make up one of the legacies bequeathed to us at the death of slavery. A REMARKABLE ANOMALY. "It it's well known that many a white laborer, except in the South, positively refuses to work along side of the black man, while he has no objection to meeting him in other relations on terms of absolute equality. This anomaly has its foundation not so much in the fear of competition, as in the convolution that because the Negro was once a slave, working without pay, chiefly with his brawn and muscle, that contact with him as a fellow workman, will have a degrading effect upon the white man, who has always insisted upon a day's pay for a day's labor. WILL GIVE WAY "But we know, that while this condition does exis', and to an extent is a handicap to the Negro, lessening it's opportunity to become a skilled artisan, in the various lines of industries, yet, it will gradually give way as the Negro consecrates himself to every task undertaken by him, making work a worship, and raise its standard of living in a better home with its conveniences and comforts, so that his status as a man and citizen will be every whit the equal of its white co-laborer. NUST STAND ERECT "Not only must his nator be dignified, but he himself must stand more and more erect, neither ashamed of the color of his skin, nor the character of his services, so long as they afford him the means of living an independent life, unafraid to look the world in the face, a stalwart honest man. "In his status as a citizen, the Negro finds himself possessed of another legacy, which is a liability in certain localities rather than an asset. Theoretically, he is a citizen entitled to all the rights, immunities and privileges of every citizen. In actuality, he is about half politically free. HIS PRESENT STATUS. "That is his present status. But it will not forever remain so. It can not. The disfranchisement of the Negro in the South has put the government in the hands of a few white men. Some doubt that the best men are in power. Our friends may learn when it is too late that the peril of Negro domination is not half so much to be dreaded as the reign of a white political oligarchy composed of (Continued on page 5) PRICE, FIVE CENTS some's tion. ns.-Makes Williamsburg.

ROBERT'S EXPLANATIONS "Our country is the world our coun- trymen are all mankind." --- William Lloyd Garrison-Metto of The Liberator, 1890-9. THE NEW YORK AGE in its issue of the 3d inst. publishes extended comment, supplemented by docu- ments in dealing with the Republican candidacy of Dr. Charles H. Roberts, the popular colored leader, who secured the regular nomination of the Republican Party and who made a most creditable run in a New York Congressional District, in which colored people did not constitute a majority of the voters. It seems that much criticism has resulted on account of the failure of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People_o or its representatives to advocate the elec- tion of Dr. Roberts and to advise the people, regardless of race or color to support him That these whispers had become a roar was evident, when the January EVER issue of that excellent monthly publication, The Crisis, which is the official mouth-piece of the Association in general and of Dr. W. G. B. DuBois in particular, devotes extended space in explaining the attitude of this great organization and of the editor of the Crisis. Dr. DuBois gives the enlightening information that he voted for Dr. Roberts. The latter is not satisfied over the statement that he secretly supported him with his vote, although he had previously failed to openly support him with his pea. Evidently, the main cause of Dr. Roberts breaking his long silence is due to the fact that an attempt is being made to place the responsibility upon Dr. Roberts himself for his failure to secure the influence of the Association and the loyal support of its officers. We have read very carefully all of the communications upon the subject that have appeared in public print and we are free to say that we do not agree with this conclusion concerning the New York candidate. We do understand why Dr. Roberts did not secure the support of the leading organization in this country for the championing of human rights. Its action in many instances upon political matters is sometimes inconsistent and it appears to be so in this particular case. What are the facts? In the Philadelphia meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a resolution was passed, which constituted a direct "slap" at the Republican Party of the Nation. It called though for the recognition of the rights and privileges of the Negro and the infiltration was that the Party that would accord this recognition would or could rightfully expect to receive its support and logically speaking the Party that did not could expect its condemnation. A Negro Republican was nominated for Congress on the Republican ticket in New York and a Negro Democrat was nominated for Congress on the Democratic ticket in Illinois. It would logically be expected that viewed in the light of its previous declarations, the Negro Republican in New York would be loyally supported by the Association and the Negro Democrat in Illinois would be ardently supported by the same organization. When it came to talk, it was all right. When it came to action, it was all wrong. We see, or think we see, that there have been too much theoretical talk and reasoning in the Association's meetings and too little practical action and performance when the "troops" went into political battle. As a matter of fact, despite what was said to the contrary, the Association's policy is broad enough to cover all races and peoples and professes so to do. It makes the Negro a primary factor for the reason that he is the most heavily oppressed. The body is composed of black and white, literate and illiterate It does not advocate the cause of the Negro because he is a Negro, but because he is oppressed. If you are looking for an organization that supports and advocates the Negro, because he is a Negro, it will be necessary to turn to the Universal Negro Improvement Association's propaganda for enlightenment. To sum the matter up, The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People supports the oppressed and advocates the cause of this people wholly and solely upon this basis. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. WIRGENTIA Dr. W. E. B, DuBois is not a Respublican. He is not a Democrat. He is a Socialist and if he has changed his affiliation, he has not made any public announcement of the fact. Inasmuch as Hon. Robert M. La Follette was endorsed and supported by the Socialist Party as a Progressive, it logically follows that Dr. DuBois was in honor bound, as a loyal Party man, to support Senator La Follette. Dr. Roberts was nominated by the regular Republican Party, which Party, the Socialists and Senator La Follette were opposing. How could he come out openly then and support Dr. Charles H. Roberts, the Republican nominee without stultifying himself personally? He did the nearest thing to it. He voted for him secretly and until he made the public announcement after the election, when his personal friends and political admirers could not have taken the tip and done likewise, no one was able to know just how the distinguished New Yorker voted. He saw to it from his statement that Dr. Roberts should by his influence, secure only his one vote. Had Dr. Roberts been nominated by Senator LaFollette's Party, it is to be presumed that Dr. DuBois would have done openly before the election what he did secretly at the election. This phase of the case is not settling very well in the stomachs of Dr. Roberts and his supporters and it is no surprise that it appears to be "coming up". We might as well view the whole question from a humanitarian standpoint. Neither the able, brilliant, scholarly W. E. B. DuBols nor the remarkable James Weldon Johnson, regards, save with cursory interest this question of race and color. They belong to the great human family and its civilization and removed from our present day environments would regard with disdain and disgust any attempt to link either of them or their kith and kin with the Negroes of this or any other country. They are for them, but not of them. They stand upon the same plane as do the philanthropic white men and women with whom they are associated. Let alone, they would subscribe to the sentiment, "The world is my country and mankind my countrymen." Dr. Charles H. Roberts has done much good by the canvass that he made. He can rest upon his laurels for future honors. Let us have peace. "I am not a native of a small corner; the whole world is my fatherland."—Seneca. FIRST MT.

Christmas toys, but in his mad rush he reached up after universal domination, his foot slipped, he fell back, and you scholars of history go to yonders island and see the spot where the French exile died in loneliness and disgrace. WE ARE CAMPED ON THE BORDERS OF CANAAN, AS IT WERE. As a church, for the last two years you have been in the wilderness. Some of you have come through hell, husbands on one side, wives on the other side, families torn asunder. There is strife, planted that never will be dug up. All of this came about because selfish ambition was not willing for God to have the honor that is due Him. But, as your leader, I am asking that we stop to day and take stock, as we go into the new year and see what sins have been lurking in our rank and file, that would hinder us from crossing this Jordan. Sin will dam up the channel and render you unfit to receive the blessing that God has in store for you. JOSHUA SAW A MAN CLAD IN ARMOUR EQUIPPED FOR WAR When Joshua saw the enemies with their fenced in cities and then thinking of the long and weary journey of the wilderness, he felt as any of us will feel when we think of victory from a human standpoint. THIS MAN OF WAR APPEARED TO JOSHUA FOR TWO REASONS. (1) He wanted to teach Joshua that the battle was not his. When Joshua saw him, he had his sword in his hands, and it was drawn. He asked him a question, "Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?" "Neither but as Captain of the hosts of the Lord am I come" This is not your battle, it is the Lord's, you are just His lieutenants, moving by His orders. God does not take His stand on the side of nations, races or groups They are too small, whoever is on the side of Right. WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WINNING IT. (2) Don't worry about the victory. Do you carry out the orders that come from headquarters? I don't want to hear you all going around here talking about, "I am on Brown's side." If you are, you will fail. You don't have to fight any battle for me. I must like every other man or man, fight life's battle for my self. His first orders to Joshua were, "Pull off your shoes." WHOSE WORK IS THIS? LET'S BE REASONABLE. Now come on, and let us be reasonable. Whose work is this? It is not mine. It was planted here before I was born. It was not Jasper's. For as I stood uncovered last Saturday before his tomb, reading his epiphath I find that his last words were: "I have finished my work, and am down at the river waiting for further orders". This is God's work and whoever goes up against it, goes up against God, and I believe His presence is here, and he is watching every slacker. THE SWORD WAS IN HIS HANDS, NOT IN JOSHUA'S HANDS We notice again the sword was in his hands, not in the minister's hands, not even in an angel's hand, but drawn in his hands. Oh, what power there is in the sword of the spirit when Jesus holds the hilt, what gashes it makes when he cuts, right and left, into the hearts and consciences of men and women. It is twoedged. It cuts going in and it cuts coming out. It works between the marrow and the bone. WE MUST HAVE AT ALL TIMES A SPIRITUAL EYE. God has always accompanied his children in battle. One among the last things Jesus said before leaving here, when he was standing as it were, with one foot on that hallowed mount and the other in the bosom of eternity waiting for His chariot to take Him back home, when He was sending them out. He said, "Go ye into all the world, etc." and "Lo I am with you always even unto the end of the 'ages'". Matthew 28:20. and His presence is here today, watching us as we "carry on" if we only had spiritual eyes to behold him. ELISH HAD TO PRAY FOR GOD TO OPEN THE YOUNG MAN'S EYES When God sent Elisha out to fight for him a certain battle, the enemies found where he was stopping. They sent an army down to capture him and bring him back, while they were at Dothan. The next morning the young man that was with him walked out, and when he saw the horses and charots of the Syrians all around the city he was frightened out of his wits, came running back to Elisha saying, "Master, what shall we do, e'e?" Elisha said, "Fear not for they that be with us are more than they that be with them." To give him ease he prayed for God to open his eyes that he may see; and when God gave him spiritual eyes, he saw that the mountain was full of horses and heavenly charlots. The charlots were on fire with the very presence of God. (2 Kings 6:13-17). They might be here today, looking over God's work. JOSHUA ALONE SAW THE CAPTAIN OF THE LORD'S HOST. It was Joshua alone that saw the Captain of the Lord's hosts. Whatever else the people may say or do, the leaders must often go to the mount to walk and live in the very presence of God. Do you know what made Moses so powerful as a leader? He was often on the mountain. Do you know why Jesus was so magnetic that the populace hung on his words? He spent whole nights on the mountain in prayer. Moses had his Horeb, Ellijah had his Carmel, John had his Patmos, Jesus had his Olivet, etc. Abraham had his Mt. Moriah, Jacob had his Bethel. My brethren, if you would win the victory somewhere in this world, must be your hallowed spot. Why is it visitors are here every Sunday from all over this country? You live here in the very presence of God. WHERE THE WORLD'S GREATEST BATTLES HAVE BEEN FOUGHT Oh, if I were to ask this morning some one to name for me the world's greatest battles, the scholars of history, both ancient and modern would spring to their feet, and with one accord would say, the Battle of the Pyramids, the Battle of Thermopylae etc. Bunkers Hill, Chickamauga, etc. but I am here to tell you and all the world, that the greatest battles of this old world that have been fought a man stepped over the holy mandates, and broke the eternal shall not have been the knee-battles, where some old Christian mother or father knelt in prayer and there wrestled like a Jacob all night begging God for a blessing so earnestly until He had to send one of His angels down from heaven, to let you know that your prayers had come up before His face and there like a great index finger pointing to his promise and mercy, and he had come to bring your blessing. THE WORLD'S GREATEST GENERALS. If I were to ask for the world's greatest generals, that same bunch would stand and call the roll of earth's honored heroes, whose resting places are marked with costly monuments, that have been built 'til their spires pierce the heavens, and there lifting their granite heads in the glory of these centuries. But, wait a minute. I have another roll of heroes and generals. I would like to call its morning. Their names are not known beyond the narrow limits of their own confines, the newspapers did not make them great, as they make men great. At their funerals there gathered no world-famed orators to pronounce great eulogies to the sorrowing world. There were no sculptors to chisel their lifeless form in marble and granite that the nobility of all lands could come and there uncover. There were gathered no poets, in order that their memory would ever live in song and poetry, etc. But their deeds were none the less noble. They were these old mothers and fathers, that lived in yester years, with God's promise hidden in their hearts, of a better day for their children, prayed on dirt floors, in log cabins, behind fence corners, with bagging dresses, brogan shoes, home knitted stockings, with tubs of water at the door to keep their voices from getting to the white folks. But they went to the throne of God, and two great war clouds began to rise in the providence of God, one in the North and the other in the South, and they moved like the clouds when God's church was in travail in the wilderness. They clashed up here at Appomattox, the compact was so great, the shackels fell from four million souls, and a new race was born over night. Who did it? Our mothers and fathers, etc. THERE IS POWER IN PRAYER PROPELLED BY FAITH. I want to say to you this morning, this fire. Sabbath of the New Year, while taking stock for the New Year, don't leave prayer out of your equation. There is power in prayer. You can talk about your dynamic forces in nature, but the greatest force this ld s ridden world has ever seen, is the force of prayer propelled by an undying faith in God. Yes, sir, you talk about the long range guns the Germans used during the World War, that shot 75 miles, scared the Allies out of their wits; that isn't an lota, when it comes to the guns that are used in God's Army. I don't know how far it is from here to God's Throne. David said it is above the heavens. The most distant planet that has ever been catalogued by the onward sweep of the telescope up to now is Neptune. This is said to be the greatest triumph of mathematical astronomy. His mean distance from the Sun is computed at twenty-eight hundred million miles. He moves so far from the other planets he is called "the heavenly wanderer" and vet, the prayers of a child of God shoot on beyond that. His period is 164 years. If we stand on the earth and shoot a cannonball going at 50 miles per hour, it would take about 700 years to reach Neptune. THE PRAYERS OF THOSE THAT HAVE GONE UP. Well, some of these doubting Thomases says he is just speculating, playing to the gallery. Let's see, back down yonder in Babylon, more than 3000 years ago, there was an old Christian, that was carried up from Jerusalem, etc. Every day at noon he opened his window toward Jerusalem. This was he's hope in God's promise that they would some day return. The King and all his cohorts told him to stop praying, he prayed on. They put him in the den of lions, he turned his long range gun toward heaven and shot a prayer direct to his throne. God sent an angel back, etc. And then we have the Mother of Moses, etc OUR CAPTAIN IS THE LORD OF HOST AND HE WILL LEAD US. My brethren, God has been good to you this past year. Oh, how he has blessed you along all lines. Your church has been packed every time the door was opened. You have had visitors to come and worship with you from all over this country and Canada. You have stood by every call I have made and the future outlook for a greater Sixth Mount Zion was never brighter, but your Captain and my Captain is expecting us to push this battle to the gate. Keep your eyes on the Captain of our salvation, ye men of war. Gird your lo's. Let's go forth. FILED OUT Deacon Quinn Shelton had charge of the collection. Clerk N. W. Boulden made a statement. Deacon Branch had a few words to say and then the congregation filed out, commenting and talking about the glorious time they had that morning at Sixth Mount Zion.

"The only guarantee for the perpetuity of the life of a republic lies in the absolute equality of all citizens irrespective of class, color or religious distinction in matters purely political. The requirements for the exercise of the right of suffrage perhaps ought to be rigid, but when they are fairly and honestly met, the right should not be withheld by any sort of plea of expediency or veiled subterfuge used as a salve for a troubled political conscience. A SERIOUS HANDICAP. "Big as was the legacy which was bequeathed to it in the ignorance which enshrouded the race at the time that freedom came to it. it was as nothing as compared to the conviction held by all our own people as well as by our friends of the other race that we were inherently and eternally inferior to the people along side of whom we were to live and labor. This state of mind had a depressing effect upon our people in their aims, aspirations and ambitions. With the impatient of the race it provoked a fruitless protestation against the assumption, while it gave the demagogues of the other race an opportunity to vociferate vehemently that nothing good or great could come from this backward, proscribed and lowly people. THE REMEDY "The remedy lies not in words but in deeds. It is for us to show by our works not only the faith that is in us, but our capacity to do. Things actually accomplished cannot be gainsaid. Therefore let us resolve every man and every woman of us, every boy and every girl of us to consecrate ourselves to the work at hand, whether it be the guiding of a plow, or casting our nets for a draft, or preaching a sermon or writing a book or presenting the case of the race at the bar of public opinion, or teaching the young idea to shoot, let us. I entreat you, do the thing with such thoroughness and devotion, with such absolute loyalty and attention to the minute detail, that whether we be regarded as great or small, superior or of little worth, we shall have the compensation of the abiding knowledge that we put into the work the best that was in us to do, for "We know how rough the road will be. How many We know about the barricades that hang the trotter. wait along the track" But we have set our soul ahead, Unless we fall back, And nothing left from hell to sky, Shall ever turn us back!"

HI-JA CHEMICAL COMPANY Atlanta, Georgia Tabloid Magazine Principals In Millionaire Orphan Death Quiz AUTOCASTER SIX This Week By Arthur Brisbane ALSO AN EMPIRE. SEGREGATE YOUR HENS. OUR AMERICAN MOUNTAINS. WHY CHEAT REAL WORKERS? Within a short time, says C. D. Burney, aviation expert, and member of the British Parliament, the farthest point of the British Empire will be within twenty-four hours of London by flying machine. Uncle Sam, please take notice. This also is an empire. It is as far from the south end of Florida to the north end of Alaska, and from Bar Harbor, Maine, to San Diego? The country is gradually waking up to our flying machine situation, and it NEEDED to wake up. Secretary Wilbur gives this information. Five hundred airplanes of the navy are useless. And even the remaining 224 that can fly, more or less, are all out of date. Do you keep chickens? Keep them away from other chickens if you can. Europe has sent here a poultry plague for which there is no known cure. Congress voted $100,000 to fight it. Rigid quarantine will help the situation. Segregate your chickens, and beware, how you eat raw vegetables, unless cleaned with greatest thoroughness, which isn't easy. Be cautious, especially about raw lettuce. The French alone know how to prepare that plant, grown in open fields, often with barnyard manure carrying typhoid germs. Every leaf should be separated from every other leaf and carefully washed. The salad should be mixed in a big bowl, turned over and over, "well fatigued," as the French put it, until every part of every leaf has some of the vinegar on it. Vinegar kills germs. With vegetables thorough Hat In Ring AUTOCASTER Mrs. Florence Kahn, widow of the late Congressman Kahn of California, has formally announced she succeeded her husband at Washington. Principals In Millionaire AUTOCASTER Above are Mr. and Mrs. W D. Shepherd of Chicago, foster parents of Wm McClintock, the youthful heir to $6,000,000 who died from typhoid fever while his fiancee, Miss Isabelle Pope (below), waited outside the door with a marriage license. The will left all to the Shepherds, except $8,000 a year to Miss Pope. So much talk followed that the authorities stepped in to learn if there were any ulterior causes of death. The New Haven Railroad wants to stop bus lines in Rhode Island because they compete. That seems quite reasonable. ● While respectable gentlemen in Wall Street were gutting the New Haven Railroad, robbing old women and children that had all their money invested in it, they squandered millions on trolley lines, etc. That was all right, because the railroad did it. But now private individuals that own their omnibuses want to carry citizens that own their public highways and want to be carried. The railroad says you mustn't DO it; it interferes with us. What about flying machines, which will soon give REALLY cheap transportation? Will the New Haven decide that it owns the air, and ask convenient courts for injunctions to keep the people of the United States from flying on their own atmosphere? Very likely. In generations to come, men and governments more nearly civilized will allow no children to develop stunted bodies and deformed minds in city slums. They will fly to the high lands of Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, to all parts of the American mountain paradise of health and beauty. There they will develop into real men and women. The United States will breed its own strong people, no longer depending on Europe as it does now for constant supplies of fresh blood. Our mountains will supply the fresh blood, and men grown there will supply the workers, not handlers of picks and shovels, but workers with brains and machines. The bill to raise the pay of hard-working post office employees may be defeated because somebody is accused of trying to get it through by bribery. What of that? Thousands of underpaid postal employee know nothing about the bribery, and had nothing to do with it. The bribery story sounds rather fishy. The only question for Congress to decide is whether or not the men that do the hard work in the post office DESERVE decent pay, whether or not Uncle Sam should set a good example, paying his servants properly, or a mean, stingy, unworthy example, cheating his own employees that he may keep down the taxes of rich men THAT'S THE REAL CITY AUTOCASTER Wm. M. Ritter, lumber king of Ohio and West Virginia, has just given between $2,000,000 and $3,-000,000 to employees, relatives and close friends. 94 employees have been with him more than 20 years.

The NERVOUS WRECK by E.J.Rath Try Your Luck With This Deep One One of our readers, who wants to arrange a cross-word puzzle asks us to explain more fully what is mean by "no interlocked units". No doubt such explanation will be welcomed by other readers. As an example, this week's puzzle, *How*, as arranged by Lillian Middleditch, is an excellent design. It will be observed that the black spaces are so arranged in the design that no word or group of words is locked off from the other words or groups throughout the puzzle. In other words, the solver of the puzzle may as well start at the lower right hand corner as at the upper left hand corner, or No. 1. An arrangement of this kind permits a wide approach to the correct solution, as there are keys available all over the puzzle. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 8 9 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 The "Nervous Wreck," an eccentric young easterner, drives Sally McMullen's ranch owner, over a rough, uncerain trait from the ranch to the railroad line and the occupants of a passing car refuse to lend them any. The Wreck takes five gallons at the ranch of the ranch and holds them. Later they are hold captive at a ranch along the way because the foreman, Charlie McSweeney, needs a cooker that the owner of the ranch is the owner of the car which they hold up. McSweeney announces that he is the owner of the York, and that he are his boy and girl expect to stay at the ranch for all weeks. GO ON WITH THE STORY "His help" from New York is why I was so particular about the cookin' I had Chinks here last year and they did real well. So I went and got another pair this summer, but as I told you, the boys got kind of juvenile with 'cm and they lit out. It seems that a Chink expects you to take him serious. It heats hell." "The boss must save money," suggested Sally. "Yes, me; am' he isous with it. He raises fancy cattle, only that ain't the way he made his money. He took it from somebody in Wall Street. But there ain't any finer cattle in Montana. They don't 'now how he made his money. They don't care. I can't say that I care anything my self. I'm liberal in my views. If I were you, me; am', I'd sort of give 'em plenty to eat, but I'd make it look as much like New York as I could." "Oh, I will give them lots," said Sally I worry ouch, old— I stopped half way from her lips I ginger." It was awfully hard the tenderfoot when Charley was but. But Charley had no sign that he needed anything "that's right, matam, feed 'em lilac and fancy. I can see you're goin' to make an awful hit with the bees." He went out again, satisfied that dinner was under way and that Sally would be a credit to his discrimination in cooks. She was flying around the kitchen like a marionette on wires, attending to three or four things at once, but without the least pace of confusion. *Poke that fire up, Henry, put a piece of wood on it and get it going a hot oven. There's a pile of If you've got to help with some of them. Better put your apron on too, you'll get all mussed up if you don't. The Wreck went about his task with a snowl. "The big lying hog," he said. "I never touched their watches and valuables." "They're just excited," explained Sally, as she hunted for a rolling pin. "People always exaggerate. Charlie doesn't suspect us, anyhow, so there's that much gained. Don't fill the kettle too full; it'll boil over." "I'm not. I'll be hanged if I'd break my neck cooking for them." "That's nothing. I've cooked for lots of people. Besides, we're stalling for time. We're going to give them the best meal we know how." "Chinamen's work!" "It would be a good thing for us if we were Chinamen," said Sally, blandly. "Then we'd have a complete alibi." He grumbled his way through the worms, but she could not complain that he was inefficient. Although he seemed constantly at the point of disobedience, the Wreck followed his orders.

"Underwood?" she mused "Can't say that I remember hearing the name around here Fancy cattle, eh? I've heard of somebody around here who raised prize Herefords. Belt it's the same one. But if it is, we're a long way, from the Bar-M. We haven't any neighbors like that. There were footsteps on the stair case that came down into the living rooms and Sally, with a final look at the table, fled back into the kitchen. "They're coming down." she in- formed the Wreck "We've got to hurry Thank Heaven, biscuits don't take long You keep an eye on that coffee, and don't let it boil Stop it just when it starts I haven't time to cook any meat besides. I don't know where they keep it. They're going to have an amolette." It was a very large omelette that she made, fluffy and thick, a rhapsody in yellows and golden browns. The Wreck eyed it with jealous disapproval, but she did not give him time to express an opinion. She had him opening a can of soup and SHE CAME BACK CARRYING A WHITE JACKET pouring it into a saucepan for heat ing. There was time for that much, anyhow "I'll cook them a regular meal next time," she promised. "But this will have to do for short notice." Her enthusiasm for the olious task depressed him. "Don't work your head off," he ad- vised. "You'll get no thanks for it." "Oh, I've got lots to do yet," said Sally, cheerfully "For one thing, I've got to wait on the table." The Wreck nearly upset the coffee pot in his anger. "You will not!" he exclaimed. "Of course I will." "I'll not have you waiting on hogs, Sally Morgan. They can wait on themselves." "Don't be ridiculous. They don't eat in the kitchen. Somebody's got to carry it to them." "All right, then. I'll carry it to 'em." She stared, then shook her head vehemently. "You can't. You'got to dodge them as long as you can. There'll be a blow-up, as sure as a gun, the minute they see you." "Well, I'm going to wait on them, if anybody does," he said, doggedly. "What's the use of dodging around? We may just as well find out now as any other time." "See here, Henry Williams! If you—" She stopped, studied his face with a new interest and remembered something.

"I must have belonged to one of the Chinamen," she said, "but a think it will fit you. Put it on." She managed to get him into after force protest Then she viewed him again. "I really believe," she said, slowly "that you can get away with it With that, and the apron, and no speacles, you don't look the least bit like a nervous wreck You don't like a hold-up man, anyhow. And if you're sure you can get around without falling over things I believe I'll let you try it. But be awfully, awfully careful about your voice.

I think they're in the table now. You can take in the soup, and don't forget to serve things from the left." He picked up a tray and began navigating cautiously in the direction of the dining room. Sally watched him anxiously. It was an odd risk, she thought, if he passed the test she would feel a safer THERE were two persons in the dining room when the Wreck entered with the tray He could make them out with reasonable clearness as he drew nearer to them One was the girl. Underwood's daughter If you like colorful blonds, she was just the right sort, slim, with a delicate prettiness that belonged to the city Opposite her sat a youth who appeared to be a year or so older. He was well set up and rather good looking, even if there was a surly set to his features. He was drawing things on the table-cloth with the tine of a fork. In the living room there was a table, close to the dining room door and on the table was a telephone. Somebody with a heavy voice was using it. the Wreck identified the voice instantly. It belonged to the large man who would not share his gasoline. The girl and the youth were listening and the Wreck putting down his tray listened also pretending to be busy by wiping the soup blates with a napkin "Well, you've got to get him" y the heavy voice, with a note of unre cible authority "I don't care if you have to try every place in the county. He ought to leave word where he goes. This is Underwood talking. What? Yes, certainly. Oh you understand now, do you? Well, you get him. Leave word every place "try that he's to call me knows who it is. And you tell him it's important, see?" Tell him it is the most important job he ever had I don't call people up for nothing Get busy" There was the snap of a receiver roughly replaced and the creaking of a chair "Haven't they located him father?" called the girl "No; and I don't believe they've half trying" Underwood was entering the dining room "First the thought he was over at Fisher Now they think he's gone back to the county seat. I don't care where he is. I want him" The owner of the ranch seated him self at the end of the table. The Wreck observed that he covered himself into his chair with a slight stiffness of movement. It pleased him to think that he knew the cause. The mudguard of the fliver showed a tell-tale warp, where it had ragged and cracked, and it was taking Underwood, even without the aid of spectacles. The Wreck had seen him in the white glare of fire lights, toiling desperately at a crank and the heavily jowled face was forever marked in his memory. 2 Part of the neck. 3 To cut with an axe. 4 Turkey (abbr.). 5 Wharf. 6 A thoroughfare (abbr.).
