THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. Mack Patterson Charged With MURDER! MINNIE TODD KILLED WITH SHOT GUN----HER LIMB AMPUTATED. VOLUME XLV, NO. 18 Mack Charg MINNIE T Mack Patterson shot Mimie Todd with a shougun Sunday night at her residence, 2420 E. Main St. She was hurried at once to St. Philips Hospital, where it was deemed necessary to perform an operation at once and her left leg was amputated. The weapon used was a shotgun and the wound was of such a nature as to make life impossible, the only chance being in the removal of the limb. The charge from the house out the light in the room. Jealousy was assigned as the cause. The case was called in the Police Court last morning, 6th inst., Judge John L. Ingram presided. Prior to the opening of the court, Patterson was brought in by the detectives. The original charge read as follows: THE ORIGINAL CHARGE. "Mack Patterson, C 36 Labor, N. C. 2420 E. Main St, unlawfully and feloniously shot Minnie Todd with intent to malm, d.failure, dis- able and kill Minnie Todd. Wit. Minnie Todd, J. A. Waters, C. B. Hoy, W. A. Griffin, R. L. Dillard. Arrested by J. A. Waters, F. A. Campadonico". This charge was changed to one for murder. The fortunate woman died at the hospital at 1:30 Monday morning. Sergeant Wiltshire had charge of the case. He expressed the opinion that a first degree murder charge could be maintained against Patterson. ADMITTED HE SHOT HER. . . After Court adjourned, I went over to the pen and called for Mack Patterson. He was reclining on a bench and moved slowly to the barred enclosure, where he said in reply to queries: "Yes. I shot her. I had a reason for shooting her". Further queries brought out the information that he had a quarrel with her a short time before he shot her. He had been going to her for about two months. He claimed that he was insulting in this same house, on last Friday night, when he saw her go upstairs and go to bed with another man. He named the man as being Henry Perry. BOTH MARRIED He got after her about it on Sun day night. He had words with her. They quarreled. He wan' out and when he returned, he proceeded to fire at her as the door was opened. The charge landed 'n her left thigh. He estimated it to be around 10 P. M. In response to further questions he stated that Minnie Todd had been married, but was not living with her husband. He had been married but was not living with his wife. He had not been working for a month. When he last worked, he was employed at the Lucky Sirke Tobacco Factory and this other man worked there now. CAME FROM NORTH CAROLINA. Both of them had been resident's of North Carolina. The case was continued. Mack had no lawyer and he did not seem to have any immediate friends, who would interest themselves in securing one for him. His appearance was that of a man just coming from under a spree, although he was not drunk. This added one more to the long list of tragedies in this city. Patterson said the shoan used did not belong to him and he declined to state as to who it belonged. It appeared to be comparatively new. With the coming of the patrol wagon, he was hand-cuffed to his partner and shortly afterwards was conveyed to the city jail, where he will begin a term in the penitentiary should he escape the electric chair. He stated that he resided at 2418 E. Main Street. The remains of Minnie Todd were turned over to Funeral Director Robert C. Scott and relatives in North Carolina are expected to have charge of the remains. At the Coroner's inquest. Charlotte Russell said: "I live at 2418 E. Main Street. Minnie Todd lived in the front room, upstairs, at this same number. On Saturday night the 3rd Mack Patterson knocked the latch off the door to Minnie's room with an axe. Minnie and Mack were arguing about this Sunday morning, In the afternoon of Sunday, I saw him lying on Minnie's bed sometime between 4:30 and 7:00 o'clock. He had a key to her front door. KNOCKED AT THE DOOR. "About 9:15 Sunday night while I was in the kitchen next to Mimnie's room. I heard someone knock at her door. She said, 'Who is that?' A man's voice answered, "Me." I could not recognize the voice. She went to the door and opened it and then I heard a shot. Louise Russell, Edna Hunt and three children were in the kitchen with me. We were scared and crawled under the bed. HAD SHOT MINNIE "I did not hear the man come up the steps or go down. I did not see the man. After while, one of the girls said she believed some one had shot Minnie. Then we heard Minnie say: "Somebody do something for me. You don't know how bad off am," I came from under the door, lit the door, and saw the barn on the floor in her room the door, bleeding. Minnie said she could not see who shot her, but that she believed it was Mack. WANTED TO KILL THREE. Minnie had said Sunday that when she was trying to get Mack out of her room that Mack said he was going to hurt her. He said there were three women he wanted to kill—her, a woman in Chicago and his wife. Minnie was taken to St. Philips Hospital. Belas Charles, Second Street and another man, a stranger to me, were in the room at the time of the shooting. I saw them go out through the kitchen". THE SCENE. I visited the scene of the tragedy last Wednesday morning, where Minnie, Todd lost her life. I called at the house, 20 N. 25th St., where Joe Blake lived upstairs. Those persons downstairs said that Mack Patterson went up into Joe's room that night. They did not know what he got out of there. As a matter of fact he had broken open the door and taken the single barrel shot. There is no fear between the lot and he evidently went in the back way of 2418 E. Main St., upstairs and when Minnie Todd opened the door, fired at her at close IN SCOTT'S MORGUE Just two blocks below Minnie Todd's remains were in a casket in Funeral Director R. C. Scott's morgue. The man in the yard of the house, where the murder took place said he had orders from the agent to see it that everybody moved out of that house at once and he was giving them until midnight to vacate. He said that Patterson had "cut the other man out" and then the other man had "cut him out". This was the sordid story told about this place in the underworld. REV. JUNIUS GRAY, D. D., IN EVANGELISTIC MEETING AT THE FIRST AFRICAN BAPTIST CHURCH The public generally is invited to the evangelical meetings at the First Baptist Church, which will be conducted March 11th through 16th, by the Rev.

SATURDAY MARCH 10, 1928 JOHN HARPER HANDCUFFED AND GAGGED BY ROBBERS Thalheimer's Store Looted Sunday Morning by Two White Yeggs. Robbers entered the Thalhimer store on Broad Street, between Sixth and Seventh Streets, Sunday morning about 11 o'clock and riffled the large sale of a sum afterwards ascertained to be $3,900.12. They left no clue to their identity, further than that furnished by John Harper, of 513 E. Litch Street, who was serving at watchmen at the time. He was attracted to the door by two white men, who after some enquiries got him to open the door. It being church-time with people passing, he thought nothing of it until he found himself forced back and was later hand-cuffed and gagged, the robbers proceeded leisurely with their work. He was left in this predicament until 2 P. M., when one of the bookkeepers came in to finish up some work. He found the safe had been burglarized and later approached Harper and released him. A description was furnished the detectives, who swarmed to the place and every effort was made to apprehend them. Up to this time no one has been arrested. Harper has been with the firm thirty-one years and enjoys the confidence of all. The robbers showed a thorough familiarity with the "ins and outs" of the place, being able to call the names of some of the officials. The robbery had been carefully planned and more carefully executed. UNVEILING EXERCISES Unveiling exercises of the monument in honor of the late Dr. Z. D.

TRICKED HIS SONS TO DROWN IN CANAL Canadian War Veteran Lays the Blame on Nagging of Woman With Whom They Were CHICAGO, March 3.—A father today confessed that he had tricked his two small sons into plunging to their deaths in a canal by telling them that if they followed his instructions they would see their dead grandmother. George Chisholm, 32 years old, of Indiana Harbor, wept as he told how he had caused the drowning of the boys, George Jr., 9 years old, and Edgar, 8, whose bodies had been taken from the industrial ship canal less than two blocks from their home in the Indiana town. The bodies were found eight days apart. Broke Down Chisholm broke down within a few minutes after Chief of Police James Regan, of Indiana Harbor, had taken him from his home to the police station. He said he did away with the boys because Mrs. Helen Lawrence, the woman he had been living with, nagged him continually because there were too many mouths in the house to feed. "It was the night of February 6th," Chisholm began. "I came home about 6:30 in the evening. I had made up my mind for her sake to get rid of the two boys, and I told them to put their little chinchilla overcoats on and come with me. "The canal is only a block and a half from the house and down there they were building a big new wharf for the Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company. I led the boys down to the canal and up the bank. Wanted to See Grandmother. "And when I got to the pier I asked them if they wanted to see their granny in England. You see, Chief, they didn't know their grandmother was dead and they were always talking about her. They both nodded and smiled and said they did, and I told them if they would do what. I told them they would see her. "I told them to wrap some wire about their waists and fasten it together. It was dark and lonesome and windy there on the canal bank, but they weren't afraid and they did it. While they fastened the wire I stood shivering. When they had it fastened to themselves I helped them twist it together and then I kissed them good-bye. "Oh, Chief, I wish I had them back. I've gone down there every night since and stood on the very spot where they went in trying to get up the nerve to jump in myself. But I couldn't do it. I hadn't the courage." "After they were wired together I told them to walk out on a great, big crossbeam. They walked out there together. 'Good-bye, papa,' they called, and I called back, 'Good-bye.' Then I said 'Jump!' and there was a splash, and they were gone." As Chisholm finished he almost collapsed. He was given time to recover himself and then was led to the bank of the canal, where he re-enacted the scene. The Planet is only $2.00 per year, 5 cents per copy.

"Both gasoline imports and exports increased during these years, but the increase for imports was much greater than for exports. "There was a marked falling off in the proportion of small companies during the last decade from 1917 to 1926, a large gain in intermediate companies and increased concerns. Seventeen companies including Standard Sinclair Pure Oil and others with their subsidiaries and affiliated companies."

Ciff Company, 98 Dearborn Street, Chicago; 821 Victoria Building, St. Louis, Mo ; 820 Longacre Building, New York. We have received from Hon. J. Thomas Heflin, of Alabama, a copy of his great speech on the Hearst-Catholic Mexican Scandal delivered in the United States Senate, January 18, 1928. It is decidedly interesting and contains much information that we would like to analyze in these columns. It seems that he alleges that he and his associates are endangered and threatened by the Knights of Columbus in the same manner that the Negroes were endangered and threatened by the Ku Klux Klan of other days. That he is being backed by a large constituency in this country in his attacks upon the Roman Catholic Church seems to be a foregone conclusion. THE THREE LEADERS The three central figures in the political arena of national politics, so far as the Republican Party is concerned, are Benjamin J. Davis, Republican National Committeeman from Georgia; Perry W. Howard, Assistant U. S. Attorney-General and Republican National Committeeman from Mississippi; and Robert R. Church, the Republican leader of Tennessee. As we see it, these three men hold the future political recognition of the "brother in black" in the hollow of their hands, so far as the recognition for political office by the future Republican administration is concerned. This is, of course, predicated upon the defeat of the Democratic candidate for President. It is essentially necessary, though that there be team-work on the part of these astute politicians and statesmen. "Bob" Church is a master at the game and he knows when "silence is golden." The same may be said of Perry W. Howard, but as to "Ben" Davis, he can stand just so much prodding and if goaded too much and too often is liable to "throw discretion to the winds." He loves a fight, like a war-horse does a battle and he is at his best in the midst of strife. Standing easily in the forefront of the ablest, best and most hypnotizing orators in this country today, he is as dangerous to his friends at times as he is irresistible in a night with his enemies. It may be well to state that if he is allowed to plead his own case, he will almost inevitably win it. He is a born leader of men and in this respect greatly resembles Henry Lincoln Johnson, who was as discern as he was able. Still, a great change has recently come over this "Henry of Navarre" of Georgia, and we have been led to wonder if this brilliant Southerner has not been subjecting himself to a training in self-restraint, which may lead to his elevation to the pinnacle previously occupied by some of the leading statesmen in this country. Davis, Church, Howard. There are the names with which to bring success. This combine will secure for the citizens of color many, if not all, of the official recognition previously bestowed upon our race, if they sing the same song together and unite in making the same demands.-Selah. SENATOR REED'S GREAT ORA TION "A man is stricly and properly inconsistent, whose opinions and practices are at any one time at variance with each other; in short, who holds at once a proposition and its contradictory, that is—who incurs a great expense in feasting or equipage with a view to the display of carelessness about money, yet exposes himself to ridicule through singling in the conduct of those very things; who censures and abhors intolerance, yet practises it towards others; who preaches and believes the truth and the importance of revealed religion, yet acts as if it were a string of nursery fables, ete."—Arch-bishop Whately. We have received a copy of the address of Hon. James A. Reed, of Missouri, entitled "Democratic Prin- ciples." It was delivered by this distinguished statesman at the Jackson Day dinner, Thursday, January 12, 1928, in Washington, D. C. We have read with interest and admiration this remarkable deliverance, which bears the ear-marks of true, ringing, highly idealistic statesmanship in every line. We felt like throwing our hat in the air and yelling for the brilliant Missourian who delivered it, until we remembered the recent record in the United States Senate of this truly remarkable man, when it came to individual liberty and State's sovereignty. He was as ruthless in dealing with the rich man, for whom he in a measure pleads as he has been all of his life in his attitude towards the colored one, who has for centuries constituted the "bone and sinew of this Southland of ours in particular and the country at large in general. He said: "The principles of justice, like the rules of mathematics, live thru the ages. They belong to the eternity". And again,— "If I am capable of understanding the spirit of the Declaration of Independence or realizing the soul of the Constitution, this Government was established to insure to the citizen the exercise of his natural liberties as an individual, and to preserve to him inviolate the enjoyment of all his faculties of brain and heart and soul." Did Senator Foad have the Negro in mind when he uttered these truths or was he living in the past before the enactment of the War Amendments to the Constitution of the United States? He said further "Government was therefore ordained to prevent an interference with these sacred privileges. It was not designed that we should here on this free soil reincarnate the abominable doctrine of tyrants that the great masses of men should be guided and controlled by rulers. Man was to be no longer ordered to take a certain course through life. Masters were no longer to forge fetters binding either the body or the brain. On the contrary, it was asserted that man was capable of self-government. He was to proceed upon his own initiative; he was to suffer for his own folly. He was privileged to pursue the highway of wisdom or walk a path which the majority regarded as foolish. He was to be the master of his fate; the captain of his soul. "At that point the law stepped in with its 'thou shalt not', but up to that point the law was to be silent'." This language was worthy of a William Lloyd Garrison, a Charles Sumner or a Frederick Douglas, but coming from Senator James A. Reed, to an observer of his action it was like "sounding brass and tinkling cymbals". It made it literally impossible on the part of the Negro citizens of this country to accept them at their face value, for it was known to contain, in the language of the diplomat, certain well-defined reservations, which covered specifically the case of the "brother-in-black". Still, it sounds "mighty good". Negroes can regard with smiles of down-right satisfaction the description of present day conditions, showing as they do that retribution is at hand and that rights and privileges taken from the Negro in the past are now being denied the Negro and the white man in the present. The annoyances, to which the white man is now being subjected are closely akin to those at one time and even now visited upon the black one. This is how this gifted speaker describes them. He said.— "Twenty thousand Federal statutes, 600,000 State laws, uncounted ordinances of cities plus myriads of regulations pronounced by hundreds of boards and bureaus seek to impose upon the living the will, the whim and the caprice of those who are armed with a little brief authority. "The land is overrun with agents, spies and informers, all constituting an immense and in many instances an obnoxious un-American constabulary. "Government has been centralized until the States have been shorn of many of their just rights and obligations, whilst there is a growing and shameful disposition on the part of State authorities to voluntarily surrender the attributes of State sovereignty without which liberty is jeopardized and from which corruption invariably springs. "I repeat that the business of free government is to protect the liberty of the citizen". Oh, Senator Reed, you said that the business of the Government is to protect the liberty of the citizen. The Negro is a citizen. Why not under your oath of office stand up to protect his liberties along with that of the white man? But this master of oratory, this peerless expounder of fundamental constitutional principles has this to say,— "At the very head and front I place liberty of conscience. Liberty of conscience not in the narrow sense that a man may worship without punishment by the authorities but in broad implication that no man is to be subjected to any kind of punishment, obloquy, or disgrace because of his faith. To all men of all creeds exact equality is to be accorded, and neither in private life nor in public office is the free citi- THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Near Crazy from Backache? Near Crazy from Backache? Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plasters Give Quick, Sure Relief Quick relief is sure, almost from the moment you apply a Johnson's red Cross Kidney Plaster over the agonizing spot. Warming, soothing, this old reliable remedy drives right away the sharp pains and dull aches in the back, supports and gives the weak back muscles a chance to regain strength, and all lameness disappears almost like magic. The medication is absorbed through the skin and goes directly to the weak, sore, lame muscles, quieting the pain, relieving the irritated nerves and restoring the free use of the muscles. For quick relief—be sure to ask for the big Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. All drugstores sell them. zen of America to be placed on account of his religion under the ban. "Impair that doctrine to the slight est degree and you tear from the temple of liberty its central supporting pillar. Of almost equal importance indeed, interlocked in principle with the foregoing—is the doctrine of liberty of speech, of the press, and the right of peaceable assemblage. "No careful student of the events of modern years can fail to recognize that at times of passion and prejudice these great constitutional rights have at times almost vanished in thin air. "We have at times very nearly accepted the doctrine that the right of free speech is to be construed as the right to speak only that which is popular at the hour. And, yet, every person who reasons must know that such a construction destroys entirely the doctrine of free speech, for there is no necessity of protecting a man in his right to utter that which jumps with the majority opinion of the hour". These declarations are as true as Holy Writ. But Senator Reed did not go far enough, although he covered the ground as far as he went. Why did he not say: "To all men of all creeds, of all races of all colors in this country exact equality is to be accorded and neither in private life nor in public office is the free citizen of America to be placed on account of his religion, race or color under the ban?" He would then have ascended into the upper atmosphere of the highest statesmanship and stood on the pedestal of the greatest philosophers of other days. There may be a reason for this, in that none of these expounders of eternal principles were candidates for a presidential office as Senator Reed now seems to be. This distinguished American expounds another great fundamental right when he says,— "The man with an enormous fortune and the man possessing but a few dollars are entitled to exact and equal protection before the law and under the law". But why discuss Senator James A. Reed further? His words, so far as he utters them are all right. His actions so far as he practices them are all wrong. The statesman, who voted to put a man out of the United States Senate before he had gotten into that body, or who barred him from a legal hearing as provided in the Constitution of the United States, when this man held the senatorial warrant from a sovereign State designating him as its representative is hardly qualified, justified or entitled to discourse upon the sovereign rights of States and to lead the crusade for the full recognition of them. A member of a lynching party might as well argue in favor of the majesty and the observance of the law. "There is no favourite child of nature, who may hold the fire-ball in the hollow of his hand and trifle with it without being burn; there is no selected child of grace, who can live an irregular life without unrest; or be proud, and at the same time have peace; or indolent, and receive fresh inspiration; or remain unloving and cold, and yet see and hear and feel the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."—F.

Richmond, Va., July 9, 1912. A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waitup thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, travel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am, J. A. PAGE, 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE. Mr. L. J.

Grand Presiding Shepherd Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes has launched a unique Headquarters Membership Prive through a central committee of 50. The goal is set at 5,000 new members and the fees are to be usad for the Shepherds New Headquarters Bu'lding announcement of which purchase will be made soon. One of the most spirited and en- thusiastic Union Degree Meetings of the local Folds of the Improved Or- der Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem was held Friday night, March 2nd, at Samaritan Hall. The big reception room was taxed to its utmost capacity to accommodate the large number of candidates and their friends. After transaction of routine business the Grand Secretary ‘A. C. Clark, assisted by Deputy Susio J. Williams, Grand Recording Secretary Mary E. Cousins, Commis- sioner R. C. Mitchell and J. A. Kyle, took the pressing throng of candidates through five degrees of the Order. ‘The crowning point of the splen- did meeting came in the clarion call made by the Grand Presiding Shep- herd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes to all the members to rally around her in an extensive Headquarters Member- ship Drive. She stated that the goal for this drive was 5000 members. which would give $5,000 to be used in putting us in Headquarters. She algo called the members’ attention to the Freewill Offering for the Wel- fare Department. Every one present pledged his support to the Member- ship Drive and gave the Grand Shepherd a rousing ovation at the conclusion of her addreas. Benedic- tion was pronounced by Dr. William H. Stokes and the audience re- paired to another room in the hall in which refreshments were served to the satisfaction of every one present. Purity Company, No. 2 of the Uniform Department held a very tn- spiring meeting last Thursday night and took in quite a number of new members. This Company under'Cap- tain Pearl C. James is planning to make a good showing on the second Sunday in Jund which® will ~be Shepherds Day in Richmond. ‘Unity Company, No. 1 also held @ very good meeting and is leaving no stone unturned to vindicate the Te- cord it made for itself last June.

Ce Oe ere eaten oes a negro paper, edited by a negro wait, has just come to our desk and it contains a series of very strong and very well written edi- torials on the pressing race ques- tion eseditor begins with a certain strain of delicious humor for which his race is famous and which lies at. the bottom of popular negro minstrels. The butt our contemporary’s wit is “Chief Cook” of the “Pamonkey Indians.” The Planet derides. the “big chief” because he says that, rather than be classed as a negro, he would tie a millstone around his neck and jump into the James River. The Planet regards this as mock heroic and is hugely amused, saying that when the big chief takes the jump, all employers ought to be asked’ to give their negro em- ployees a holiday to witness the spectacle. The Planet's ideas coincide ex- actly with our own. The editor is in favor of race purity and be- lieves in calling a negro a negro and dislikes the sentimental and non-committal word “colored.” He realizes that there is no more disgrace in the word “negro” than in the words “Jew,” “German,” or “Englishman.” < ‘The editor makes a very strong plea that the rule should work both ways; he shows no small contempt for “Chief Cook” and the “Pa- monkey Indians” and says that the negroes do not wish these hybrids dumped into their race any more than do the white people wish it in theirs. ‘The Planet complains of the racial integrity legislation because of its tendency to class everyone not white, or Indian, as negro. ‘One drop of negro blood makes a negro even if the man be red-headed and blue-eyed’ and our contemporary thinks that a negro should be a man or woman of pure African blood and not a mixture of white, Indian, and negro. If we understood our contemporary correctly it would make three, or possibly four, classes ‘of our population. First, the white man, who may have one-sixteenth Indian blood, and second, negroes OF persons of pure African blood, and third, Indians, people with a éertain percentage ‘of Indian blood and no negro Blood. A fourth class might be the general mixture of the three races running all the way from near-whites to mulattoes. ‘We have always believed the way to attain race purity is to convince both white and eR. races that their race has its fine characteris- ties when pure bred but that a mixed race is apt to have the vices of both races and the virtues of neither. ‘The Planet attempts to raise two constitutional questions, one that the new racial integrity law would contravene the prohibition of the Constitution against ex post facto laws, The editor docs not seem to be familiar with the rule of law which confines the term “ex post facto” to criminal statutes; there is nothing in. the Constitution against retroactive laws. He also quotes the Fourteensh Amendment of the Federal Constitution against denying to any person equal pro- tection of the law. ‘his is a more difficult question, but it hardly seems to us that the protection of a race *as such comes under the term “deny to any person.” It is strange that we of this State re- sented so vigorously a generation ago, the domination of the negroes not then fit for political rights, and that we now resent sitting in the same railway car with them, and yet that certain church people are opposing measures which would tend to keep both the white and negro race ees We are glad to see that our friend the Planet has the same ideas about keeping the negro race pure as most of us have about the white race, and we think that true remedy is to educate both races to the dangers of a mixed race and the importance of keeping their HENRICO COUNTY, VA.

THE RADIO INDUSTRY. IMMIGRANTS BUILD NATIONS. A DEMOCRATIC PRINCE. Frank Lockhart, whom Barney Oilfield calls "the greatest automobile driver in history," drove his car 225 miles an hour on a Florida beach yesterday, lost control and shot out into the ocean. Such speed in automobiles is valueless, because it cannot be used. Trying for it is as unwise as some "stunts" that fliers do, emphasizing the danger of flying, instead of emphasizing its safety, as they should. It is to be hoped that Colonel Lindbergh, the most important young man to his country, will realize the danger and folly of unnecessary risk. A serious accident to Lindbergh would set flying back ten years in America. That is not what he wants. Great Britain suppresses a moving picture showing how Nurse Edith Cavell was shot as a spy by the Germans. Britain wisely decides such a picture would only revive and intensify international bitterness. Edith Cavell was guilty under military law. Allied nations executed women for crimes no more serious. But the "moral" circumstances were different, the military stupidity, that governed Germany and killed Edith Cavell, governs Germany no more. The Arzentine Republic wanted to rewrite the United States tariff to compete with American farmers. But the Argentine didn't have Balfour as representative, so this country said no. We can handle little republics. Britain is too much for us. Last year, this country spent $600,000 000 for radio products, machines and arts. Nineteen twenty-eight will be the first radio Presidential campaign. The world changes swift- Modern Speedy F "SPEEDY BEAVER SHIPS" NOAH'S ARK FIRST FREIGHT SHIP When Noah built his Ark he little knew that his craft was to be the carrier of practically all modern freight steamships, especially those carrying live stock and perishable goods. Biblical authorities agree that the Ark was 835 feet long with a breadth of 87 feet 6 inches and a height of 52 feet 6 inches. It was built of coopers wood cypress, coated with pitch was three "stories" high each story consisting of a number of compartments for the storage of food for the animals it carried. According to modern ideas it was unsuitable for quick voyages but remarkably well adapted for steadiness and freightage. ly, adapting itself readily to new methods. Radio employs 300,000 people, and broadcasting reaches 90,000,000. An athlete, breaker of records, with big bings and chest expansion, was amazed when the life insurance doctor told him "you are a bad risk. We can't take you." Next to no exercise, the dangerous thing is over-exercise. You can develop muscles almost without limit. But you have only one heart, and it will stand only so much. Promoters of South American investments inform you that the population of Rio de Janeiro has increased nearly a million in eight years, Buenos Aires more than a million in fourteen years. Agricultural population has increased enormously in South America. All that is due to our immigration laws which keep out of the United States the white European populations that we need, the men and women that made this country what it is. Shutting out such immigration, we build up other nations. The former Kaiser, who must have done some hard thinking in the last few years, tells Syvester Vierck, "today the center of gravity which determines world power has shifted to the United States. America is master of the world." America probably COULD be master of the world. But to desire that mastery would be foolish. To be masters of ourselves, mind our business, develop this country and increase the well-being of the average man, is a big enough task. The Prince of Wales shakes hands, by mistake, with a waiter, best dressed man, probably, at a business men's dinner. "But, Sir, I'm only a waiter." "I don't see that that makes any difference," says the Prince shaking hands over again. The tyrant was annoyed when Solon told him there could be good government "only when kings become philosophers, or philosophers become teachers." The young Prince leaves philosophy in professors. But he knows that royalties achieve permanency by becoming democratic. The conference at Havana is over. And, as Mr. Rogers says, Uncle Sam is to be congratulated on going into a conference without losing anything; no battleships scrapped to oblige nations that couldn't afford to compete; no silly promise not to give Guam, or do anything without the consent of Britain, France or Japan. Freight Ships Outcla Today freight steamships are not only built for carrying cargoes safely but also for speed. The five new 10,000-tank freight steamships of the Canadian Pacific operating on the St. Lawrence water boulevard to Europe from Montreal are the last word in up-to-date freight steamships. They are equipped with the latest improvements, refrigeration for perishables, with thermostatic devices insuring the maintenance of temperatures as low as 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Special facilities for transporting livestock are provided, as well as ample and spacious accommodations for automobiles and large-sized packages.

"LIGHT REFRESHMENTS" Just a plain chat between ourselves—so let's be honest with each other. Hardly is there a party—and certainly not a "lodge doin's," or a church festival—no, nor a meeting of the "Board," without the universal refreshments served. Let us see about this: I confess that, in spite of my better judgment, I am another of the imbeciles that go and partake to fulsomengss! I can scarcely get over the effects of one "refreshment" debauch, till another, equally urgent, requires my whole-hearted submission. And the menu comprises every dynamic indigestible that can be created by inventive genius in the fancy culinary art. Oh, the demons that can camoufaged by the large doo of whipped cream! Whenever I tackle a copious servag of this fuzzy staple, I begin to shudder within myself, at the possibility of what may lurk beneath! I have put into my helpless interior on occasion, enough indigestible dope to knock the Methuselah cold in one round. They don't serve drinks at our sociables. Lemonade would be plebian. Hard cider, coarse and contrary to morals—but coffee, yes. The most dynamic of coffee, I am just now recovering from the effects of a good-fellowship party at our church, six-thirty to ten P. M. We had veal-loaf. (If there is anything worse to be eaten after dark, I don't know what it is). There was spaghetti—I detected five ingredients by my acute sense of taste—and thought of sixteen more—perhaps imaginary, but it was fine stuff. We each had something like one-half pound of sugar artfully concealed in other temp-ting goodies. Every time we go on a delance of this kind—innocent—even religious if you will, we are one day nearer the Great Beyond. The great Apostle-teacher enjoined "temperance in all things" Class Noah's Ark ventilation permits the carriage, without deterioration, of apples and other fruits. Europe today looks to Canada and the United States for the best in foodstuffs and livestock, and the necessity of delivering cargoes in perfect condition has been fully met with in these new, speedy freight steamships of the Canadian Pacific. Sailing on a weekly schedule, every Friday, from Montreal, nine days elapse after leaving ports, and the cargoes arrive at destination in perfect condition and as fresh as the day of embarkation. A special freight service on land brings the cargoes direct to ship's side. C.P.R.

No city on the continent is more fascinating than Quebec—enclosed within old gray stone walls and entered in many sections through gates; its Citadel and marks of caron at unexpected corners mark its antiquity; its narrow streets with red, blue and yellow carts and low horse-drawn carriages add to the old world atmosphere; and its "Forman houses and buildings" cuttec centuryles all form a set of beauty for the blue-green ice monuments.

Art connoisseurs have searched the world over for objects of art. for rare canvases and pieces of sculpture. These are created to be enduring for all time, and herein Carbonneau differs from all artists. for he apparently works only for the hour. Possibly no artist has ever worked with a medium so perishable, nor is there a moment to lose when ice and weather are conducive to work: then Carbonneau's garden becomes his studio, and work proceeds swiftly. It is a Herculean task to erect as many monuments as Carbonneau does, but he has many assistants who place the block- of ice in position for the oases, and attend to the minor details while Carbonneau carves the figures, animals or other objects. The Dog Derby monument measures over fifty feet in length. In this realistic group the musher stands or the runner of the carriage with three huskies leading.

The nose and carotle with its occupants is one of the larger monuments on the main street. A huge buffalo is another effective piece of carving. An arco has been erected over the toboggan slide on the Espinacia directly in front of the Chateau Frontenac. Champion is one of the figures carved this year and the great leader actually takes on a flesh and blood aspect in spite of the chilly medium. Carbonneau's real medium of expression is marble, and it is only the last six years that he has left this work for a few weeks each winter to sculpture in ice. The marble work in the Bastille at Quebec is from the hand of Carbonneau, who occasionally carves in wood. Critics in Canada paradoxically enough, believe that Carbonneau's dynamic abd, will leave a double impress in marble enduring for all time, due to his courage to create sculpture which lasts only for the passing hour. uty, Says Expert IZES WITH FACE her neighbor to behold her own reflection.

C.-Value of the 1927 sugar beet crop on the nation's farms will be well over $120,000,000 according to an estimate of Harry A. Austin secretary and treasurer of the U. S. Beet Sugar Association, in a survey made public here. "More than 800,000 acres of land are devoted to sugar beet culture in all parts of the country, while there are approximately 100 beet sugar factories located in sixteen states and representing an investment of $200,000,001 the survey shows." "Approximately 100,000 farmers were engaged in raising this tremendous crop and 80,000 field workers were needed in farming it. season, about 35,000 agriculturists technicians mechanics and laborers are employed in and around the factories with an annual outlay in carriages of $200,000,000. Each year from fifty to sixty million dollars are paid for sugar beet buoys for sugar beet buoys get from the county $2 million dollars in freight charges. A similar amount is expended for supers such as machinery coal coke lime-rock bases and chemicals which added millions are paid directly in local state and federal taxes by the beet sugar business.
