RACE LEADERS CHARGED WITH BOLSHEVISM Washington Press Correspondent Says Sinister Radical Propaganda is Found In Negro Press. Reports Show Educated Men of The Race Are Advocating Soviet And I.W.W. Doctrines. Quotes, But Names No Publication MEN SENTENCED TO DEATH IN 7 TO NINE MINUTES HELENA, Ark., Nov. 6.—Forty-eight Colored men have been convicted here in three days for their part in the Elmau riot early in October. On Monday six were convicted of pardur in the degree and sentenced to the electric chair. Tuesday five more were convicted in the first degree. The court has broken all records in disposing of the one Convicted in 8 Minutes Five in 7 Minutes. It took less than half an hour to select a jury for the first case, and the defendant, Frank Hicks, was found guilty after the jury deliberated only eight minutes. Frank Moore, Ed Hicks, brother of the first defendant, I. E. Knox, Paul Hall and Ed Coleman were tried jointly and the jury in their case deliberated for only seven minutes before reporting a verdict of guilty. Negro is State's Best Witness. Dave Archer was not a member of the Progressive Farmers' and House-hold Union of America, but his testimony helped to convict the five on trial. He said he was working in his alfalfa field on the morning of October 1 when he was "arrested" by Negroes "under command of Frank Moore," and taken to Moore's "headquarters." Archer said he was told, that "they were going to kill the white people and shoot every Negro in his tracks who-is seen picking cotton." Archer was armed with his own shotgun, having been ordered to get it from his home when he was "arrested." He was taken to the home of Fulal Hall, which, he said, was one of the "mobilization points." Later he was taken to a deep gully, where the Negroes awaited the coming of the posse of white men. Archer said he told his captors that he would go away and come back in a few minutes. They permitted him to depart, and he hurried to Elaine, where he reported to Mayor Stgakes BISHOPS QUAYLE AND SCOTT AT UNION MEMORIAL Bishop William A.

Frank Moore told him, Archer said, that all the men were going to be killed. The sense had no witnesses and the evidence was overwhelmingly against them. Five Convicted Tuesday. All Banks, Jr., John Martin, Jee Fox, Albert Gilles and Will Wordler were convicted in the first degree Tuesday. The jury in the case of the first two tried jointly, was out only nine minutes. Several Negro witnesses introduced by the State told of being present at the church near Hoop Spur that night and of seeing Banks and Martin there. Existence of posts of the Progressive Farmers' and Household Union of America at Haine and Hoop Spur was brought out in their testimony. Members went armed to all meetings, witnesses said, and guards were placed around the meeting places. John E. Miller, prosecuting attorney, declared the testimony had shown that the trouble was not a race riot, but "organized insurrection," with little race feeling displayed. He declared it had been shown that the union for several months had been planning an uprising, set for the night of October 6 unless white planters agreed, to the Negroes' demands as to prices to be paid them for cotton, and that 18 or 20 planters had been "marked for assassination" should they refuse. He declared precipitation of the trouble the nights of September 20 by the murder of Adkins was an accident. Thirty-Seven Sentenced Wednesday. Nine Colorad men were sentenced to terms of twenty-one years in the Penitentiary, twenty-seven to five years and one to ten years Wednesday. This brings the convictions to 48, eleven of whom have been sentenced to die in the electric chair. There were 122 cases in all to be tried, more than 100 being Negress.

GEORGIA GOVERNOR PRAISES NEGROES. A72, A73, A74, Gov. 5—Gov. High M. Dorsey addressed largely attended meeting on the gospel of thrift at the First Congregational Church, Colored. There were representatives from the Colored schools and business organizations, from all over the city. The singing was an attractive feature of the evening. The governor complimented the Colored Race on its progress in material things and referred to their increase in farm acreage and to the prosperity of their business organizations. He, however, urged upon his hearers greater thrift. He pointed out that thrift meant more than economy in money matters; it meant economy of time and energy. The cultivation of thrift meant the development of character. Dr. H. H. Proctor presided and urged upon the audience the cultivation of thrift as a racial asset in the present crisis. ARKANSAS GR.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Nov. 5—(By N. I. S.)—There was double cause for repolicing in the home of Lienst Col. Theodore Roosevelt today. While Roosevelt was being elected to the assembly on the Republican ticket by the largest plurality ever cast in Long Island, his wife gave birth to a boy. The infant will be named Quentin, after his uncle, who was killed in an air battle during the war. Roosevelt's plurality is believed to be more than 2,560, and the greatest plurality ever polled in the county. ANOTHER WAR SCARE BOSTON, Nov. 5.—Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield, of New Orleans, speaking at the monthly meeting of the Boston Methodist Social Union at Hailton Hall, People's Temple, declared that if the American Negro is cast from the church and attracted from society a gigantic world war between the black and white races will result. As a means of bringing the Negro race into closer relationship with the Anglo-Saxon, he advocated the election of Negro Methodist bishop. "There are 250 000 Colored people in our church," he continued. "What would be contrary to the New Testament; it would mean a raw church, and we would forget the teachings of Jezus Christ. We know full well that the Colored races need to write and imagine the terrible calamity which would ensue if all the Colored races in the world joined."

BRUCE EXONERATED BY WASH'TON BOARD Long Fight Ends In Reaffirmation Of Confidence In Asst.-Supt. Of Schools By Associated Press Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 5.—The Board of Education reaffirmed its confidence in Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent in charge of Colored schools, after a public reading of two reports, one praising the Colored superintendent, the other characterizing him as unfit for his position. The meeting was one of the longest the board has held in many months, and when it ended the Bruce case became a closed incident so far as the school board is concerned. The Colored Parents' League, however, again announced its intention to take the light on Bruce to Congress. Dr. Henry B. Learned, chairman of the committee which investigated Bruce's fitness for office, read the majority report signed by himself and Mrs. Corallie F. Cook. In it he reviewed briefly the charges that were made against the Colored superintendent, and told how, in the opinion of the majority of the committee, these charges were disapproved. A large part of the report was taken up with a statement of Mr. Bruce's educational and administrative qualifications for the office he holds. Peyton, Colored, the dissenting member of the committee, read a minority report in which he attempted to prove that Mr. Bruce is not qualified for the office he holds. After hearing both reports, the board adopted the following resolution, presented by Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes: "The majority report of the special committee on the, Bruce case is issued with the hearty approval of the Boany of Education of the District of Columbia. We believe the care shown by said committee and the soundness of its conclusions will be apparent to every reasonable citizen of Washington. After mature deliberation we find ourselves in no doubt concerning the upright character of the assistant superintendent of Colored Schools. Respecting his education and administrative fitness for the position he had held for twelve years—we are reassured and do hereby announce our determination to do all that is possible to give scope to his plans as director of the Colored schools and to protect his good name." HOSPITAL TO OPEN ON SUNDAY NOV.16 The positive date has at last been set for the opening of The City Hospital No. 2, for Colored. The reception to guests will be on Sunday, November 16, and the patients will be transferred from the main hospital on Monday. There will be speaking and other entertaining of the dedication day. 'Plans for the program are in the hands of Col. Wm. H. Butler, who is chairman of the Conventious Committee of the Negro Business League. ANOTHER COLORED MAN LYNCHED IN GA Macon Mob Fires Fifty Shots Into Body of its Victim. Still Alive After First Covering of Gasoline Burned Off. Mob Applies More. MACON, Ga., Nov. 3.—Paul Jones, a Negro, accused of attacking a white woman near the site of Camp Harris yesterday afternoon, was burned to death by a mob at the scene of the crime shortly after midnight. Jones was arrested by two. Deputy Sheriff, but the mesh quickly formed and compelled the officers to take refuge in a box car. Sheriff Hleks, learning of the plight of his deputies, went to the scene and was permitted to see the scene and served a thousand or more. To take the prisoner to the home of the woman for identification.

HALLOWEEN NIGHT AT CLASSIQUE ACADEMY Halloween night at the Classique Dancing Academy, at Lorientale Hall, was lavishly attended and the mallety of girls wore masquerade costumes of beautiful and appropriate design. Two novelty prices were awarded. Everyone spent a delightful evening and were loud in their praise over the achivement of the "Moonlight One Step" which is an "innovation" of the Classique Academy. The same reasonability of the film was charged on this night. Fifty Vanser's select orchestra rendered music for the jolly gathering until 1 o'clock on the best dancers of the proudery so was too manager. SAYS EVIDENCE AGAINST RADICAL LEADERS MAY BE INVESTIGATED BY U.S. CONGRESS David Lawrence, a special correspondent of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, charges that "Slister Radical Propaganda is found in the Negro Press and that reports to the government show educated men of the race are urging Bolshevik Principles." Mr. Lawrence refers to several articles which he says have been published substantiating the charge, but does not name the papers or magazines. Among the charges are the following: "Among the salient points noted if the present attitude of this small, but influential class of Negro leaders is: First, an ill-governed reaction of retaliatory measures in connection with race rioting second, the threat of reynching, third, the social equality, pressed demand for social equality, in which demand the sex problem is not infrequently included; fourth, the identification of the Negro with such radical organizations as the I. W. W. and an outspoken advocacy of the Bolshevik or Soviet doctrine." "Beasts of race superiority as well as exhortations to race unity for the purpose of open warfare are found in publications, many of whose editors are men of education. Many of the Negro magazines are expensive in manufacture, being printed on coated paper throughout, well-printed and giving evidence of possessing ample funds." "Editorialists defending Bolshevism and picturing the 'American Huns' are interspersed with bitter satire on the disenfranchisement of Negroes in the South. On the editorial board of untrained minds. This public decrees from Harvard University, so that one cannot say the work is that of untrained minds. This publication is most radical of all, openly praising the march of the 'soviet government' and counseling the Negro, to align himself with that movement by the organization of Negroes in four distinct forms—labor unions, farmers' protective unions, cooperative business and socialism. "Praaching a doctrine, of physical force as well as economic force, a program is mapped out by one of the largest Negro publications which appeals to the Negroes to form voluntary companies of those who were in the selective draft and to find Negro officers who will look after their direction." "Permeating even the Negro massas, there has been aroused a dangerous sense of radical antagonism which is being thoroughly exploited by their leaders of the press, at least. The attitude is not one of wholesome endeavor to alleviate and correct the wrongs under which the Negro powers. Rather is it one of increasing defiance and organized alliance with the most destructive forces of our political life today." "That a sinister propaganda is at work among Negroes in these days of world upheaval and industrial disturbance in the United States is a large fact which the government is not likely, to ignore and which may be brought to the attention of Congress when legislation to curb the revolutionary press of the country is soon requested." Negros Not Aware of\Such Anti- Government Movements The above charges against a people who have been 100 per cent loyal from Bunker Hill to Metz, are a bizarre surprise to all who have given the race studied consideration. In St. Louis, a city of from seventy to eighty thousand Colored citizens, there is no thought of affiliation with any faction, body or force that defies the laws of the land or advocate the overthrow of the government. Every expression made is harmonious on the one subject, "Equity." Regardless of whatever charges may be made against the Negro, there is but one real contention, a plan for justice, equal rights as citizens and a chance to be a man and do a man's part. All the Negro asks is that the Constitution of the United States be enforced. A careful review of the weekly news readers published in the interest of Colored people disclosed nothing radical in the editorials of last week's issue. Nearly a hundred were examined and less than a dozen made any reference whatever to the present "unrest" or disastersion. The following extract from an editorial in the Houston Reformer is a timely expression of the Negro's disgust of the so-called "social equality" scarecrow: The Houston Reformer—What is the idea of all this talk about the Colored man or race desiring "social equality"? What is meant by the environment, of that term? Is not the term "social equality" confused by three disciplines of alarm and protectors of the public weal and welfare (most noble actions of democracy!) with the term of "social intermingling?" This stereotyped, antedelivery and delivery district has collapsed the restraints and is more the cantanker and cavorting of "brain-cracked" spotlight workers and sensational and yellow journalists than it is the earnest and honest convictions and belief of some and sensible men. There is a vast difference between "social equality" and "social intermarriage." They are as far apart as the north pole is from the south pole. There can be no justice where equality does not exist. What the Colored man demands is "social equity," "social sameness." He WHAT AN EX-GOVERNOR OF ALABAAM THINKS. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Nov. 5. The following extract from an address delivered at Tuskegee Institute, on the day, set apart for the honoring of Booker T. Washington the great American who founded that institution, by the Hon. Emmet O'Neal, ex-governor of ALABAMA. "Among those millions, none responded more loyalty than the Colored man, and now that the war is won, no one can deny that the Negro race, by its patriotism, its loyalty to the flag, its generous contribution to Liberty Loans and Red Cross funds and other war activities has now earned and won a higher place than ever before in the confidence, respect and sympathy of the country. "All races and creeds, the white man, the yellow man, and the black man, stood side by side in the fight for liberty and no one can deny that the Negro Race measured up in patriotism, in courage and loyalty to the full demands of American citizenship. It can be said to their everlasting credit that they were never infected by the poison of German propaganda that they affiliated with no league or organization seeking to overthrow established authority, or to substitute for the Stars and Stripes, the red flag of bolsheviki and of anarchy. That vast battlefield, stretching from the Marne and Chateau Thierry to Sedan, will always be to every American consecrated ground, where the American soldier wrote a new and more glorious chapter of courage, and heroic self-sacrifice, and where the white man and the black man, following a common flag, and inspired by a common ideal, bled and died that the world might be free." wants the same rights of society that other men, and faces enjoy; but he does not ask the association and companionship of men or women of other races. Social companionship cannot be regulated by laws. If Bill Smith wants to associate with John Jones all the laws in the genius of mankind cannot keep them apart. As soon as the Colored man asks for a square and fair deal (something the South is unwilling to accord him and will not do until it has to) these monumental hypocrites and camouflagers bring out their are-worn bush bear and bugaboo of "social equality." It has been worked so much that it now has the "wowey." ' The South professes and proclaims to the word that it deplores lynch law and is putting forth an earnest effort to blot it out and as soon as Colored people organize to aid in combating it, not with force but through the medium of combined cooperation, "the cry is sent broadcast that the "niggers are organizing for social equality." And one disgusting part of the entire spectacle is that oft times, nowadays, this old tale is started by ex-service men, who are ranking with a spirit of resentance at their Colored brothers because the French people treated the latter as men, despite the subtle propaganda of the former. All this journalistic diarrhoea about "radical Negro editors" and "race uplifters including Negroes to revolt against the white man," etc. is unadulterated and unassimilated bosh, buncombe, "bull" and "bull-shevik" Louisville Leader—"It seems that America is come perilous days. Strikers, riots, unpatriotic propaganda, widespread violation of law and ugly defiance of federal authority. America returned from Europe, from the enemy at her gates, only to face a worse enemy, the enemy within her own household. But America will not go to pieces. History proves that to every action there is a reaction. Moral and political condition and disorder finally meet with morals and political reaction. The germ of salvation never dies in a people." Hot Springs Echo—"In isolated sections where Colored folks are quite likely to regard the word propagandist as signifying a new species of "bullwool," the propagandist is most likely to succeed." F. G. R. Gordon, In The National Advocate Minneapolis and St. Paul—"We can do much to prevent the Negro from going over to the red flag cause. But we must treat the Negro not as a man of color, but as a man. The Negro wants a square deal; he is not asking for race equality, though this is just what the Socialist leaders are promising him. The Negro is asking for equality before the law and any thing less than this is human slavery for a race. a warning, however, I want to point out that there is not another political or economic movement in all the world that carries with it so great a danger to the black man as this Socialist movement which seeks to manufacture class hatred—plus race hatred, for either is bad enough and Anderson enough for the black man, but both together would mean his economic and political ruin." Memphis Times—The Negro newspapers of the country have endeavored to be fair in giving out the news to the public in general. They have stuck to the line of facts and truth. Plain truth has been the watchword in all matters with which they have to deal. Often our findings, through careful and patient investigation, have differed very materially from that of the white press in some sections of the country. Our findings and reports have generally come after excitement is over and communities have gotten back into joint and conditions are normal. The editors have been very careful not to give our news until it could be obtained. We have not to apologize but truthful because we believe that it is powerful and coupled with right as she always will finally "overall." THE REAL DEMANDS. Negroes are not following false leaders. They are taking a greater interest in industries and buying more property than heretofore. The spirit of thrift is the paramount idea and naturally legal protection is essential. A conference on Negro Industry was recently held at Detroit, under the auspices of the National Urban League. Among those who attended were intellectual and progressive citizens of both races. There were no I. W. W. or "Bolshevik" ideas expressed, but the following plans and policies for the ensuing year were set forth: 1. That working and living conditions of Negroes will be fair and decent. 2. That transportation accommodations for Negroes will be equal to those provided for white people. 3. That adequate educational facilities will be provided for Negroes. 4. That the Negroes will be given fair treatment, and be protected in buying and selling. 5. That the life and property of every Negro will be protected against all lawless assaults. That the Negro will be assured of equal justice in the courts. We also believe that the Negro should be assured all his other constitutional rights. THE N. A. C. P. The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People is an organization solely for the purpose of eliminating the wrongs, the discriminations and the injustices practiced against the Colored People. Its purpose is to obtain the desired results; not by revolution, not by physical force, but by enforcement of the laws, and granting constitutional rights to all patriotic Americans and loyal citizens alike. This association stands for: 1. A vote for every Negro man and woman on the same terms as for white men and women. 2. An equal chance to acquire the kind of an education that will enable the Negro everywhere wisely to use this vote. 3. A fair trial in the courts for all crimes of which he is accused, by judges, in whose election he has participated without discrimination because of race. 4. A right to sit upon the jury which passes judgment upon him. 5. Defense against lynching and burning at the hands of mobs. 6. Equal service on railroad and other public carriers. This, to mean sleeping car service, dining car service, Pullman service, at the same terms as other passengers. 7. Equal right to the use of public parks, Libraries and other community services for which he is taxed. 8. An equal chance for a livelihood in public and private employment. 9. The abolition of color-hyphenation and the substitution of "straight Americanism" 10. These organizations and these ideas are being followed by the Progressive Negroes and there is little chance that any agency of distruction will find many followers among the race. TOLEDO MAYOR SAYS CONGRESS WILL PASS DYER RESOLUTION TOLEDO, O. Nov. 5—Mayer Schreiber urged cooperation to rid the city of lawlessness in an address of welcome to Walter F. White, of New York, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who spoke to more than 1,000 Toledo Negroes in Zenobia Hall. Mr. White declared the Negro problem has become a national problem and that the Curtis resolution in the Senate and the Dyer resolution in the House, remanding an investigation of mob violence and lynching, would be passed. He closed by an appeal for justice for all men and the only solution for the problem was on the basis of justice to all men.

Notice To The Theatre Going Public During the last five years photoplay productions through the sheer efforts of the producers and directors have won a conspicuous place in the hearts of the amusement-loving public. Up to the present many photoplayers are the "Living Classics of the Silent Drama." But it remained for George Lone Tucker to produce a photoplay that outrivalts anything in the amusement world. It is no small task to attempt to put into words the appeal of his production, "THE MIRACLE MAN." It takes one by the heart, the head and the eye and plays its harmony. It is a drama of Faith, of Evil, of Good and of Bad. A play of Crooks and Fakers, and of God-seeking soul who at the end come out well-rewarded. It is the play that will live in your memory for years to come as the only picture that pictures the supreme cry of the soul made visible. This marvelous production, after a successful run at the New Grand Central Theatre for four weeks, and two weeks at the Central Theatre, will be shown at the Comet Theatre, on 21st and Market streets, on Thursday and Friday, November 12th and 14th, at the lowest price of admission this production will ever be shown; for adults 25 cents, and children 15 cents. The tremendous expense for the production has compelled the producers to set a standard admission price, which is the only means of enabling a theatre manager to exhibit this supreme photoplay to his patrons, and the management of the Comet Theatre is confident that his patrons will appreciate such a tremendous offering, paid the biggest money ever paid for a picture heretofore.

Fruits and Vegetables A pantry, well filled, with home-canned and otherwise preserved fruits and vegetables means more varied, attractive and wholesome diet during the winter months, as well as cheaper living. Don't let any vegetables go to waste. It will be wise economy to store all you can, dry, pickle or brine. A well-ventilated cellar is a convenient storage place. If there is no available space there an outdoor pit storage is satisfactory. Select a well-drained pile, pile the vegetables in a shallow trench, cover with straw, then a layer of dirt, etc.' to protect from freezing, and provide ventilation at the top. Sunflowers. for Profit The sunflower grows readily in South Africa and is cultivated to a limited extent for poultry food. In the opinion of the British and South African Gazette, large quantities could be produced if there were a demand at a remunerative price. Snow Huts Are Warm.

This calculation is based on the latest authorized automobile and truck registration figures compiled. The total number of passenger cars and trucks issued is 6,780,550. This represents a 10 per cent gain over the 6,025,605 registry of January 1, 1980. A neck and neck, race is being issued between New York and Ohio for leadership in state registration of motor vehicles. New York leading with 4,753 and Ohio with 4,500 cars and trucks. Next in the "big six" group are Pennsylvania, Illinois, California and Iowa. Since the first of the year 15 states have made percentages of increase greater than the national increase of 11 per cent. Those states are Ohio, California, Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, South Carolina, Alabama, West Virginia, Louisiana, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and Delaware. Tennessee, West Virginia, and Kentucky lead the South as well as the entire nation, and in the order named, unprecedented, cotton and tobacco prosperity has placed this section well to the fore. Since 1917 the census of automobiles in the Southern states has increased better than 100 per cent. Iowa is still the leading state in per capita ownership with a car for every 6.05 persons. Nebraska is "runner up" with one car for 7.01 persons. Wisconsin has one car for every 11.26 persons. The tail-end position goes to Mississippi with one car to 47.89 persons. WICKLIFFE, KY. Mr. C. Ross subscribed for the St. Louis Argus....Mr. Tom Ross and family were here to attend the rally at the Baptist Church and also visited his brother. Mr. C. Ross...A. Mr. George J. Johnson, of Hinkleyville visited Mr. E. Gooton and family....Rev. Warren was at his post of duty Sunday....Mr. Albert Ross of Lovelaceville visited his mother and fatha's last week....Mr. Ellis Oliver is a recent subscriber of the Argus. "A German citizen, who knows how eager the world's collectors are to obtain the stamps of the countries of the new Europe, has succeeded in pulling the wool over the eyes of philatelists, many of whom have paid as high as $30 for a set of Estonian stamps which have proven to be 'takes,'" writes Kent B. Stiles in the stamp department of Boys' Life. "When the Easth proclaimed their land an independent republic on the day on which the armistice was signed, last November, the German citizen was living at Reval, where the proclamation was issued. He hurried to a post office and purchased stocks of the stamps which the German occupation authorities had forced the people of this former section of old Russia, to use during the days of the invasion by the German troops. These stamps are Germany's own 'woman in armor' designed labels, but with the surcharge 'Postheglet Ob. Ost.' upon them. "These occupation stamps the German citizen took with him into Germany, and upon them he had overprinted the inscription 'Eesti', meaning Euthonia." These were then allowed to circulate among stamp dealers. It was supposed that they had been legitimately issued by the Euthonian government, and they were soon regarded as being among the more valuable stamps of Europe's reconstruction period." Noise Like Airplane Adds to "Movie" Plane Screens All kinds of instruments are used behind the stage in theaters and picture houses to produce imitations of noises, such as the clattering of horses' hoofs, the entrance of a train into a station, and so on; and quite elaborate machines have been thought out to produce these noises. Flight has made it necessary to invent still another one, and a new instrument has been produced to make a noise like an airplane. Two large disks are fitted together with partitions like a waterwheel, and holes about four inches apart are arranged round the circumference. While one man turns the "wheel" quickly round, another man pours a jet of compressed air against the holes, and the noise is exactly like that of the motor of an airplane in flight.

If a woman be her own maid, as statistics tell us 85 per cent of us are, a dainty satisfying breakfast is her family's by a little preparation in advance. An alarm clock to insure the right time of rising will give ample time to arrange the meal unhurriedly. He who goes mornings from a quiet house, comfortable and well ordered is twice as capable as his neighbor whose wife either leaves him to prepare his own meal or comes down with disordered hair and apparel, and whines at him from across a miserable breakfast. The "uniform breakfast" advocated by some is & most convenient one as it saves brain fat; you know just what you are to prepare and the family knows just what they will have; however, the most of us like an occasional break from fruit and cereal, eggs and bacon, either or both, toast and coffee, with perhaps a doughnut or cookey to finish off with. A pleasing variety in the daily menu is secured by having a variety of prepared cereals as well as those which need cooking. In this way there is no chance to fire of any one kind and the favorites may be repeated more often. Coffish balls, broiled or baked mackerel, dumna haddie and smoked galton are fish dishes which are permissible for the first meal of the day. Of the meats the favorites are bacon, ham, chops, corn beef hash, frizzled beef and eggs' brittles. It is so universally used as a breakfast dish and are served in so many ways that one never tires of them. Onesies form an especially desirable egg dish. Scrambled, fried, poached, cooked in the shell, cooked in ramkins with cream, and eggs in combination with rice and other foods too numerous to mention are all desirable dishes. A Sweet Omelet. Separate the whites and yolks of the eggs using four, six or eight, the nutable suitable to the family appetite. Beat well, season with salt and a dash of cayenne, add as many table-spoonsful of cold water as there are eggs, adding it to the yolks when beating them. Turn the yolks into the stiffly beaten whites; pour into a hot well-buttered, smooth omelet pan to which has been added a half cupful of blanched almonds. Cook as usual, fold and serve with hot maple sirup. Nellie Maxwell The ordinary speed of a whale is about five miles an hour. Hard-pressed, a speed of 15 has been recorded, but not beyond that.

It declares one out of every ten persons over forty dies of cancer. While the great war cost the United States about 80,000 lives, cancer in the same two years claimed 180,000 people in this country. The government agency warns that cancer is unquestionably increasing throughout the world, although it is curable if treated early. "At the beginning cancer is usually painless and difficult to detect," the new bulletin points out. "At its first small, growth it can be safely and easily removed by a competent surgeon. Cancer is not a constitutional or 'blood' disease, is not contagious, and is, practically speaking, not hereditary. Persistent abnormal discharge or bleeding is suspicious. Bores, cracks, lacerations, lumps and ulcers which do not heal, and warts, moles or birthmarks which change in size, color or appearance, may turn into cancer unless treated and cured. Persistent indigestion in middle life, with loss of weight and change of color, or with pain, vomiting or diarrhea, calls for thorough and competent medical advice as to the possibility of internal cancer. A doctor who treats a suspicious symptom without making a thorough, examination does not know his business." The bulletin emphasizes that no medicine will cure cancer and that early diagnosis is all-important. PROFIT FROM RAISING POULTRY There is considerable profit in poultry at the present time. The matter of profit in poultry keeping is a thing which each person must solve for himself, so much depends upon the keeper. Poultry raising is not easy work: it requires lots of time and patience. Where stock is kept and poultry has free range, a hen may be kept for a year on four to six pecks of corn or its equivalent. No one thinking of going into this business can figure on a profit above $1 a hen, and that is much too large if the keeper is inexperienced. If the hens are given warm, clean, dry quarters and a variety of grain—green vegetable food of some kind—with plenty of ground oyster shells and once or twice a week a little ground bone and meat meal, they will keep in good thrifty condition. Early hatched pullets will usually commence to lay about the middle of January. One and two-year-old hens will seldom lay when the weather is very cold. A practical poultryman says: "Cleanniness, a variety of grain, regularity of feeding, pure clean water given twice a day, and a well-littered shed for exercise, must be provided. I feed mixed grain, wheat, corn and oats in the morning and evening; the grain is sown over the cut straw in the feeding room. At noon scalded fine-cut clover hay mixed with wheat bran and a little oil meal is fed. On this food the hens lay fairly well, even in cold weather. I raise most all of my feed and have an abundance of grass and clover pasture in summer, and rye and wheat pasture in winter. When snow covers the ground, I feed cabbage leaves, beets and turnips, cut fine and mixed with bran. There is not much money in the 'business' if most of the grain has to be bought and hired help employed." Men Bellhops and Waiters Get More Tips Than Women, Labor Statistics-Reveal Hotel guests pay far larger tips to bellhops and waiters than to chambermaids, according to estimates of managers of 153 hotels reported in the labor review of the department of labor. The figures show that mails receive average tips of, only from 11 to 88 cents a day, as compared with $1.27 to $3.78 for bellhops and from $1.16 to $3.67 for waiters. The difference makes the real income of mails less than bellhops, although the average daily rate of wages is $1.29 for the maid and 83 cents for the bellhoy. The report shows that men working in hotels and restaurants outnumber women in occupations usually regarded as women's work. Or the 40,000 employees counted in those vocations, 24,000 are men. Of the cooks 9 per cent are women, of the dishwashers, 40 per cent are women, and of the kitchen help, 37 per cent are women. A striking contrast between the wages paid men and women in the same occupation is shown by the report, which is said to be the first ever prepared on a nation-wide scale for the hotel business. Thus 24 men cooks are paid $10 a day, while only one woman receives as much as $6 a day. The largest group of men cleaners receives $2 a day, women, $1.

We remembered that these defendants are a responsible for the recent race riot in Arkansas, looking at the situation as it appears at hand, it seems that the proceeding is of the law and a travesty on justice. We colored men receive justice? No. No. Justice in these cases is IMPOSSIBLE. Many one, white or black, capable of thinking thought for a moment that the colored people or self defense, attacked, killed and slaughtered of a community? It us unison together. Let us admit that among the Negroes what is known as the Progression Union. We see no great crime in those people organized for their mutual protection to redress their wrongs (and God knows the "direct actions" as is evidenced by the law, a law firm of Bratton, of Lafayette before the land for redemption. He, he has always had respect for the man of the south and a few Negroes being along nicely among themselves, enjoy together, and that the Negroes receive justice wrong upon wrong. Can the Negro have a man's sense of justice and fair play when he is daily of every right enjoyed by all other make up this nation? A matter that must be laid before the eyes is to allow it to pass unchallenged is to lend rule. If the races are to live here together understanding and more confidence between Arkansas cases, a young white man, a lawless and barely escaped being lynched by Negroes in a legal capacity. The defendant without legal advice, because it is not safe to offer legal aid. Auld appeal to the National Association for People for aid, but the experience of John R. Shillady, in Austin, Texas, is that they will be a little fearful about sending them to us that there ought to be some man, who has nerve and back bone enough "of Arkansas to stand before the bar of American citizens. His injustice is done the Negro with the help him submissive to the abuses, robberies at the hands of the white man of the nation is all wrong. The Negro will never treat that he has in the past. It is just old chick back into its shell. They are try. Persecution has always made friends for the always been martyrs for the cause of right man. Should say to a persecuted race in America, God is not dead. The trial given the Negroes in Phillips County, Ark., during this week will be watched with a deal of interest on the part of the public generally. It will be remembered that these defendants are charged with having been responsible for the recent race riot in Arkansas. At a distance, looking at the situation as it appears, from the best information at hand, it seems that the proceeding in these cases is a mockery of the law and a travesty on justice. Will these colored men receive justice? No. No. A thousand times. No! Justice in these cases is IMPOSSIBLE. Is there any one, white or black, capable of thinking who would entertain a thought for a moment that the colored people rose up without cause or self defense, attacked, killed and slaughtered one or more white people of a community? Come let us reason together. Let us admit that there really existed among the Negroes what is known as the Progressive Farmers and Households Union. We see no great crime in mere organization. These people organized for their mutual protection. They did not seek to redress their wrongs (and God knows they were many) by the "direct actions" as is evidenced by the fact that they had employed a law firm of Bratton and Bratton, of Little Rock, to carry their grievances before the land for redress. This is typical of the Negro he has always had respect for the law. The white man of the south and a few Negroes boast that the races are getting along nicely among themselves, enjoy the confidence of each other, and that the Negroes receives justice before the law. We did not see how they are going to harmonize, the conviction and the extreme penalty inflicted upon those defenseless Negroes with such statements: This is wrong upon wrong. Can the Negro have confidence in the white man's sense of justice and fair play when he (the Negro) is being robbed daily of every right enjoyed by all other classes of people that make up this nation? This is a matter that must be laid before the eyes of the American public. To allow it to pass unchallenged is to lend encouragement to such rule. If the races are to live here together, there must be a better understanding and more confidence between each other. In the Arkansas cases, a young white man, a lawyer, was arrested, imprisoned and barely escaped being lynched because he had advised the Negroes in a legal capacity. The defendants have been rushed to trial without legal advice, because it is not safe for any one to venture to offer legal aid: We would appeal to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for aid, but the experience of its National Secretary, Hon. John R. Shillady, in Austin, Texas, recently, leads us to believe they will be a little fearful about sending a man from New York. Yet it seems to us that there ought to be some man, a southerner, a white man, who has nerves and back bone enough to go down in the "jungles" of Arkansas to stand before the bar of justice and plead the cause of American citizens. All of this injustice is done the Negro with the hope to grow him and make him submissive to the abuses, robbery and all kind of mistreatments at the hands of the white man of the south. But their assumption is all wrong. The Negro will never submit to the same kind of treatment that he has in the past. It is just like trying to put a day old chick back into its shell. They are trying to do the impossible. Persecution has always made friends for the persecuted. There has always been martyrs for the cause of righteousness and justice—human. So we would say to a persecuted race in America, take courage. Go forward. God is not dead. hold express our interest in common with the Charles B. Faris to succeed Judge.D. P. D.

Dyer, as United States District Judge. Groups, clans and organizations nowadays watch such appointments with a deal of interest. In this particular case, it is said that "organized labor" opposed Judge Faris' appointment. We know very little about his record as a jurist in the past, but his present high office surely calls for a man of high character, moral standing and one who lives above the howling of the probs. Such is the man we believe Judge Faris to be. We are particularly interested because the common rights of citizens have been denied the Negroes in the district over which he shall preside, and the dearest thing to the human heart may come wrapped in his decisions. However, we have no misgivings as to the wisdom of his appointment. He no doubt, like his predecessor, Judge D. P. Dyer, will always see the human side in rendering his decisions. Long may Judge Charles B. Faris live and the pages of history be decked with his righteous decisions that will set a new pace for righteousness and justice, not only for the people of this district, but for others all over this land. CLEAN UP THE CROOKS. Following the wounding of Chjef of Police O'Brien, by a highwayman a few days ago, orders have been issued to clean up the crooks of this city. To a close observer: it furnishes an amusement to ask those blue boats and detectives leave their stations looking for Negroes. It accuses that they forge that there are white crooks and gun tots until they run into them robbing or shooting up somebody. In which event they devote a little time to catching the offenders and then resume their vigilance looking for Negroes. Of course when the orders are issued, they must bring in somebody, and we suppose that Negroes are less trouble to bring in and, as a rule more defenseless, and the police have less trouble in "reaking a case." We have no defense but the Negro idler, thief or gun loter, but the seeming one-sided affair does not help the efficiency of the Police Department. The impulse may be in the orders issued. They may and be quite enough. These officers should be instructed to go into the Big Timber and get a few of the big criminals and fetch them in. They should also be told in plain words that there are some white people as well as colored in the city. And not to assume every time a robber is reported that the crime has been committed by someone. Then wounding so many unjust hours looking for, questioning and arresting every figure they are, while the real criminal money is being spent. If there is that many real criminals have followed the police, then they should while the police were running. If there is that many real criminals have followed the police, then the order is issued to "Negroes" that in some cases as well as others, they go well as PAGE EIGHT PEOP ST LOUIS E.

IN MEMORIAM In remembrance of my loving mother, Laura Liflard, who departed this life one year ago Nov. 5, 1918. A loving mother, so true and kind. No one on earth like you I find. A precious one from me has gone; A voice I love is stilled. A place is vacant in my home Which never can be nited. Sadly missed by caughter, Mrs. Sam'l E. Campbell. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of our dear husband and father, Pittman Lee Evans, who departed this life November 1, 1918. Tis strange that those we lean on most. Those in whose laps our limbs are nursed. Fall into shadow soonest lost; Those we love first are taken first. This is the curse of time all! In grief we are not all unlearned Once through our own door death did pass. One went who never has returned. His memory long will live alone. In both our hearts as mournful light. That broods above the fallen sun. And dwells in heaven half the night. Sleep sweetly, tender heart, in peace. Sleep, holy spirit, blessed soul. While the stars burn the moon increase. And the great ages onward roll. Sadly missed by wife and daughter, louise and Geraldine Evans.

In loving memory of our beloved husband and father, Wm. H. Smith, who departed this life one year ago November 4, 1918. Tears in silence often flow; Love shall always keep you near us.

C.—There is a southern editor who endeavors to give serious concern to the part played by the Negro in life of this section. The following expression from the Greensboro News, concerning the dialect of the Negro, is of unquestioned interest and particularly that part which says, "And back of it all is the shadow of tragedy that he has brought with him, which sooner or later some artist, whether painter, musician, dramatist, poet, or novelist will use for a creation of genius that will sweep the world." Read it all. "We sincerely hope," remarks the Raleigh Biblical Recorder, "that the Negro dialect will not perish from the earth. There is a peculiar charm about it that appeals to every southerner, especially to those who knew the old-time plantation Negro." True. But the old-time plantation Negro has disappeared. How should his speech be preserved? The grandson of Ungle Remus talks a different language—not the English of the universities, to be sure, but not less far from that than from the speech that Harris set down. By its very nature, any dialect must change with the changing fortunes of the people who speak it; and no other race has ever been subjected within-50 years to as sudden and tremendous a change in status as the American Negro. His speech must necessarily undergo profound modifications, and what was true dialect 20 years ago sounds strangely in the ears of those who know the Negro of today. "Joel Chandler Harris and John Charles McNeill" continues the Recorder, "were authorities on Negro dialect." True again. But the dialect of McNeill is radically different from that of Harris. The dialect written by Harris Dickson differs from both; and that of Octavus Ray Cohen is yet another species. Yet we hold to the belief that Dickson and Cohen are as true to life as Harris or McNeill. The fact is that Uncle Remus spoke a different language from that used by Blue-Gum Ander, of the Scotland county church militant, or by Ole Reliable, of the Mississippi levees, or by Florian Shappey, the leader of high society of Birmingham. The grievous crea- COLORED PEOPLE IN CHL. REFUSE TO BE SEGREGATED By Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Nov. 5.—Recently, following the public meeting of the Kenwood and Hyde Park White Resident Association, which organization favors residential segregation an effort was made to get a group of Colored people to confer with the committee from that organization. The committee was self-constituted and was headed by Attorney J. Gray Lucas. The daily newspapers the following morning carried extensive, first page articles, claiming that the Attorney said, "The Colored people are willing to waive their Constitutional rights and move out of the district in question, providing better homes elsewhere could be found." This created consternation among the people of our group and the following day, Attorney Lucas denied the allegations through the papers and publicly before several organizations. True to its policy of encouraging discrimination, the white Associated Press sent out the story, it appearing in the daily newspapers of New York, and the harm intended was accomplished. There is a desire among the right-thinking Colored people of Chicago that harmony and peace prevail, but there is absolutely no disposition on their part to take a single step backward, and the member of the Race who has the temerity to suggest anything that savors of un-American principles, lays himself liable to universal contempt and indignation as was the case of B. F. Moseley who, in a statement during the riot here, published in the Chicago Tribune, said, "This is a white man's country." Several threats were made against Moseley for his inadvertent remarks and criticism is yet bitter against him. Leading citizens of the Race regret that an impression has gone out that there is an attempt at real segregation in Chicago. It has been pointed out that the advocates of this policy form a very small minority, and for whom most part are rabid Southerners and foreigners who themselves have lived in the community but a short while. It is further pointed out that the expansion of residential territory is the natural consequence that has been made in progress for more than a decade. Louisville and Baltimore, and later Los Angeles, endeavored to pass segregation ordinances, all of which were declared unconstitutional by the high court. "SOCIAL EQUALITY" UTTERLY FOREIGN FROM REAL ISSUE CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Oct. 28 - In a declaration of principles and policies, the Colored Baptist Educational and Missionary Convention of Tennessee, in its concluding session here Sunday took an advanced step to bring about better relations between the races in America. Deploring the presence of dangerous elements that appear to be making headway in creating distrust, the convention went on record in a resolution pursed by the convention, declaring "that the idea of social equality so often construed as underlying the activities, of the Negroes for the rights and privileges of American citizenship are utterly foreign from what is desired by our people." While not condoning crime committed by Negroes, the convention pleased for a fair trial for members of the race and that their punishment fol- tion of would-be dialect writers of northern birth, we lay aside, along with the boojum and the snark and other extinct animals that never existed. But dialect writers may be as diversified almost as the autumn leaves, and we paint, each, the thing as the sees it, and paint it truly; for the Negro himself is coming to be almost infinite in his variety. America is only just getting to be artistically independent enough to appreciate the Negro. Our humorists—always pioneer spirits—were the first to discover the richness of the field. Harris and McNeill did much to establish the Negro in literature; Dickson and Cohen are further strengthening their work. Presently, the tragedians will follow, and somebody will do magnificently what Thomas Dixon did crudely. Foster found the first distinctively American music in Negro folk songs, and to this day the only music that could not by any possibility have been written anywhere else than in America is that in which the Negro's influence is predominant. Irving Berlin is more typically American than MacDowell. Even as extreme a development of the white man's civilization as that astonishing school of writers who call themselves "new" poets has not been altogether free from his influence. One of Vachel Lindsey's finest efforts is his suite of poems on the Negro. To give the devil his-due, American Art owes to the black man its best prospect of developing individuality; of developing greatness. He has given our music a strange, new theory that it doesn't know what to make of it, but that is certainly unlike any other music on earth. He has given our literature a picturesqueness that it could never have borrowed successfully. He has given our stage a comic foli so excellent that it has been well-night ruined by abuse. And back of it all is the shadow of tragedy that he has brought with him, which sooner or later some artist, whether painter, musician, dramatist, poet, or novelist, will use for a creation of gonius that will sweep the world. That, of course, all lies in the future; but already, we are deeply in his debt, for already he has given us the blessed gift of laughter. low only after their conviction by due process of law. In matters social, says the resolution, "we are entirely content with our own and ask that we be not hindered and fettered in our struggle upward and denied the assistance and co-operation so essential to our development on account of any misconception of our aims or misinterpretation of our motives by those out of touch with our real lifes and, therefore, cannot fully understand our desires and ideals." COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 30.—Rev. Dr. Maurer, pastor of the First Congregational Church, white, who has spoken so strongly heretofore for and in defense of the Colored race, preached a powerful sermon Sunday morning on the race question, and in which he came out strongly in favor of a liberal arts education for the Colored leaders. "American Christianity is to be tested by its spirit in approaching the problem of the Negro," declared Rev. Dr. Irving Maurer of First Congregational church in his sermon Sunday morning on "American Christianity and the Negro." "Since there are no legal restrictions on the Negro's migration from the South, we must face the problem of his presence in our communities." Rev. Dr. Maurer recognized the industrial and economic importance of the Negro in the North and praised the work of the Negro laborer during the war. "I am glad," he continued, "that if the Negro constitutes a problem, it is a result of his progress. I thank God that freedom spells the doom of all manner of serfdom." "Future danger," according to Rev. Dr. Maurer, "lies in separateness, not in intimate contact. To the advocates of racial purity, this is protected, not by strengthening decisive tendencies, but rather through acities and intimate contact with other cultures. "What the Negro leaders need," he declared, "is a liberal arts education to lead them and their people into the universal spirit." Dr. Maurer made it plain that the much vaunted "racial purity" of the white race had more to fear from separateness than from intimate contact. THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES AGAINST CALDWELL APPEAL MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 1—Sgt. Edward Caldwell, former soldier of the United States Army, stationed at Camp McClellan, Anniston, Ala., must die on the gallows of the Calhoun County Court House, December 4th. This date was fixed Thursday, October 23, by the Alabama Supreme Court, when it refused to hear the evidence in the Caldwell case. The Caldwell case attracted nationwide attention. While a soldier, he killed conductor Gouli Linion; of the Anniston street railway company and shot the motorman. A death sentence resulted. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court and the sentence was affirmed. Negroes from all over the country appealed to President Wilson in behalf of Caldwell. The President wired Governor Kilby by ordering him to have the execution postponed until the United States attorney general could investigate. In the meantime the case went to the Supreme Court and this automatically stayed execution. You Don't Need The Cash to Buy your Fall Clothing.

The average American citizen may not be aware of the fact, but nevertheless it is true, that congress has opened the way for slaughter and sale of horses as food for human beings. In the future, if the family pocketbook will not stand the strain of purchasing a beekeep, the good housewife may step around to the corner grocery and buy a chunk of horse meat and still keep within the family means. Horses are to be slaughtered and the meat sold under regulations carefully prepared by the department of agriculture so as to insure at all times the wholesomeness of the product. The following announcement on the subject is made by the department of agriculture: "To open up the channels of trade for some of the inferior horses in this country that do not pay for their keep, and to increase the meat supply in some of the larger cities in the United States and abroad, where horse meat is used for human food, the department of agriculture is authorized by congress to inspect horse meat and horse meat products. The amendment to the regulations governing meat inspection by the department was passed by congress on July 24, with an appropriation of $109,000 to carry on the work during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920. "While it is expected that as a result of this amendment inferior horses throughout the country will be slaughtered for human food, it will open a market especially for the small horses—many of them wild—on the western range. These animals are eating much of the limited supply of range feed which is needed by live stock that is better able to pay for its keep. Elimination of the understrable horses not only will save feed for more worthy cattle and sheep, but will add hides to the leather supply and increase meat stocks." Every establishment in which horses are slaughtered for the preparation of food products for transportation or sale in interstate or foreign commerce must be federally inspected under the new regulations. The slaughter of horses and the preparation and handling of horse meat must be conducted in establishments separated from those in which other animals are killed and handled. All horse meat or horse meat products must be compulsively labeled or branded "horse meat" or "horse meat product" and must bear the statement "U. S. inspected and passed by the U. S. department of agriculture." The regulations list a number of horse diseases which, if found in any animal slaughtered, will cause it to be condemned as food. Briefly, in making possible the utilization of horses for meat, the regulations place the matter under federal supervision, thereby insuring that the product is clean and wholesome. The regulations, it is explained, merely provide for the inspection. The number of horses used for meat will depend on the extent to which homes are marketed for that purpose and likewise on the demand for the product. In some cities horse meat already has a ready sale. The St. Louis Argus, $1.50 per year.
