C. J. BAER ADDRESES CEN. CIVIC LEAGUE Carl J. Saer, manager of the Production Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, in an address before the Central Civic League said: The seriousness of the present economic conditions shows very plainly that the main factors, in the situation are transportation, industry, commerce and production. Until conditions relative to production are right, the other dependent factors will not pursue a normal course. One of the greatest drawbacks to production is the lack of mashpower. The rural districts must be made attractive enough to prevent the steady migration to the cities; better schools, better roads and modern homes. When this remedy on the side of production is made seventy per cent of the American Dollar, which is agriculture, will take up its share of the burden imposed of throwing it over on the other economic factors which represent the reality our rent. Until we get the most balance in our economic wheel The St. Louis Argus or professional life, as well as no small number of political leaders. The Quadrential Sermon by Bishop J. A. Johnson was a masterful effort and created more comment than perhaps any delivery ever heard by the General Conference. Among the ministers present are several who served as chaplains during the war. They include, Reverends M. Collins, C. G. Parks, A. G. Stewart, C. Stewart, E. W. S. Denise, A. Green, John H. Hill and others. The Episcopal Committee is the largest single body of the General Conference. Dr. Wilson of North Carolina was elected chairman of the committee; Dr. J. I. Lester was elected vice-chairman; Dr. S. J. Johnson of Texas secretary. This committee will deal with some of the most vital questions that concern the conference. The bishop's work for the past four years will be reviewed by this committee. A daily edition of the "Christian Recorder" is being issued by Edith Wright. Allen and Cooper, from the press of the St. Louis Argus. The paper shortage makes it necessary to restrict the space in this issue and a general review of the sessions to date cannot be given. The events of most importances, however, will be published in subsequent issues. Wilmington, Del.—Dr. Harvey A. Murray, has been named by Mayor Taylor, as a member of the Board of Health. Dr. Murray is the first race man to be so honored. Dr. Murray was born and reared in Wilmington. His father, Emanuel D. Murray, was caretaker of the New Century Club for 23 years. The doctor was graduated from the Howard High School and received his medical degree from the Howard University, at Washington, after which he served as an intern in the Freedman's Hospital there. He returned to Wilmington in 1914 and began practice of medicine on December 18 of that year. Part Pay Of The City Janitors Is Being Held Out The municipal jailers are wondering what the city authorities intend to do with the 55 cents they are holding back from their jailors' pay. These employees are the poorest paid on the municipal buildings pay roll. There are 34 colored men on the list, who originally received $80.50 a month, but were granted a 10 per cent increase, with other employees, effective April 1. When the jailors were paid on the 30th they only received $88 instead of $88.55. This amount totaled $11.15 for the month, and if the "hold out" is kept up for a year, will amount to $613.50. The questions the jailers are asking are "Why are we being held up?" and "What is to be done with the money?" FIRST ANNUAL SERMON. Private Lodge No. 19043, G. U. O. of O. F., will hold its first Annual Sermon, Sunday, May 16, at First Baptist Church, Klinoch Park. All lodges, Household of Ruth, Juvenile and Patricia are cordially invited. G. W. Moore, N. G.], Wm.

C.M.E.BISHOPS IN COUNCIL AT THE LANE TABERNACLE Bishop Phillips Speaks On Fourteen Points Against 'Organic Union Of The Churches The Bishops' Council of the C. M. E. Church, is in session this week at the New Lane Tabernacle, C. M. E. Church, Englewood, and Newwood. Among those present are Bishop Charles Henry Phillips, L. H. Holley, Atlanta, Ga.; Isaac Lane, Jackson, Tenn.; R. S. Williams, Augusta, G.; Ellas Cottrell, Holly Springs; Miss R. A. Carter, Chicago, Ill.; and N. C. Cleaves, St. Louis. There are also prominent general officers and visitors from all sections are in attendance. Phillips Opposes Organic Union. Bishop Phillips was the principal speaker at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church last Sunday afternoon. In regard to the proposed, Birmingham plan, Bishop Phillips said: "I am opposed to Organic Union because in truth it would not be a Union, but a mere absorption, of the smaller bodies by the larger one, and the C. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion Churches would be through the M. E. Zion Church like the officers of the Gulf, flow on and are located in the briny deep." He explained he was opposed, not to Union, but the plan, was proposed by the commission that met at Birmingham, Ala, in April. He opposed it because, he questioned the authority of the commissioners; because it did nothing but propose the same—United Methodist Church; because there is no Constitution; because the commissioners' actions were premature and harsh; because no prejicium is made for the running of the new church; because in 15 to 20 years, the C. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion Churches would have no bishops on the bench; because 1500,000 Negroes could not harmoniously ret along without some specified instrument to govern them; because all real details are left to be worked out after the union which puts the cart before the horse, he said, and is like naming a baby before it is born. His speech was a strong argument against the Union of the A. M. E., A. M. E. Zion and C. M. E. Churches on the plan as outlined at Birmingham.

May 5.—It now appears that the only real check imposed on the Negro in the constitution of the Methodist organizations, is the provision that their contingent shall never amount to more than 5 per cent of the whole body. Their are five per cent now; this is notice that they must never grow foster than the white membership. Obviously the door is thus closed and locked against the incoming of any of the independent Colored denominations, like the African M. E. or the African M. E. Zion. But it is not likely that these independent Colored folks would ever condescend anyhow to mute with their white Methodist relatives. The Associated Negro Press TUSKOEEE INSTITUTE Ala. May 5—The first annual conference of the white and colored extension workers on Negro Extension Work in Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama was held at Tuskegee Institute during the past week.

First One Of Six Returned By Supreme Court For New Trial Gets Second Sentence To Death. Helena, Ark., May 5. John Martin, colored, was found guilty of first degree murder for the second time in Phillips County Circuit Court here late yesterday for his part in the racial uprising in the Elaine section last fall. Martin was charged specifically with the murder of W. A. Adkins, a special agent of the Mishouri Pacific Railway, at Hoop Spur the night of Sept. 30, 1919, when a small Sheriff's posse was fired on by Negroes who were in a darkened church. It was this shoot- ing which precipitated the uprising. Martin, who was one of the six Negroes under death sentence whose cause were remanded by the Supreme Court, again was sentenced to be electrocuted. The case of Will Wordlow, another of the six Negroes to be retried, was called immediately. SPEAKER AND SINGER AT THE Y. M. C. A. SUNDAY Dr. A. J. Carey, pastor, Chicago District, A. M. E.

The Event Is Beginning Of New Era In The National Pastime.

The first scheduled games of the new Western Negro Baseball League will be played on this date. After years of promiscuous games by athletes of the race, the sport has at last taken tangible and definite form.

These clubs consist of the Chicago, "American Giants"; Detroit, "Stars"; Kansas City, Mo., "Monarchs"; Chicago, "Leonards"; St. Louis, "Giants"; Darton, "Marcos"; Cuban Stars and Indianapolis "A. B.

Governor Would Abolish 14th And 15th Amendments Washington, May 1—Repeal of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution "and others enacted since, which encroach upon the rights of states," was advocated tonight by Gov. Cooper of South Carolina, in an address before the annual dinner of the Palmetto State Society.

Wealthy Man Murdered HOUSTON. Tex.

Finds Franklin Was Badly Punished As Well As Fined For Circulating The Crisis. (Special to the Arzus) New York, May 5 — The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, announces the receipt on April 26, of a telegram from Hon. Lee M. Rusegil, Secretary of Mississippi, stating that "Franklin of Mississippi will always have full protection of our laws in securing their legal rights." This telegram was dated Jackson, Miss. 11:45 a.m., April 26. On April 22, the Association galled to the press copies of telegraphs passing between the Association, the Governor and Acting Governor of Mississippi, the last two being the telegraph of April 21, of Acting Governor H. H. Castel, in which he evaded replying to the Association's appeal for protection and in defiant language threatening that the editor of the Crista, the Association's organ, would be made an example of if he appeared in Mississippi, and the Association's second appeal for legal protection following the receipt of the acting governor's wire. The Association announces that since the publication of these telegraphs, it has been informed, from two sources, one of them a white man, that the Rev. E. R. Franklin was badly beaten, in addition to being fined, the beating being described as "Beaten—into a jelly." The Association is unable, upon its own authority, to substantiate this allegation, but in one case the information came to it from a man who had written to a third party on other matters and mentioned this case incidentally as a matter of news. In the other case, information came directly from a correspondent familiar with all details of the case. I.H.BRADBURY FAILSTOSHOW Members Of Executive Committee Wait One Hour and Half In Rain, Locked Out Of Club House. Leave In Disgust With Bradbury and John Schmoll. Former Is Accused Of "Selling Out Race", and "Petty Graft." The much talked of meeting which was staged to take place at the Missouri Republican League Club last Saturday evening did not materialize, owing to the fact that I. H Bradbury failed to show up to answer charges of withholding a report on certain money which came into his possession from the proceeds of the Lincoln, Douglas celebration which was held at Louisiana Hail last February. And coincident with Bradbury's absence, the members of the executive committee found themselves locked out of the clubhouse at 2390 Pine Street, where the meeting was scheduled to be held. For an hour and a half Major Butler, with the other officers, played the part of "watchful waiting," hoping that if Bradley did not come, after having made a personal promise to do so, he would at least send in the report, with the charter of the club and the membership list, within the officers declare he is unwilling to keep in his pocket. As the members grouped here and there, weary, waiting, much dissatisfaction was expressed at "Brad's conduct. In a statement by Major William H. Butler, president of the organization, he said: "I went into the Missouri Republican league club in good faith to help my people, but I don't propose to allow Bradbury to use me in any grafting scheme. I can see why he is always accusing others, for he is only trying to hide his own deeds. The case will never make any progress with him, and I am not as strong as a leader. He isn't right. He is responsible to no one bill Mr. John Schimoll, and if that is the case he cannot have the interest of the race at heart." Other members said that they supposed that John Schimoll had told "Brad" to take the charter and membership roster of the club, because they accused Bradbury of doing anything John Schimoll said. It was also stated that Bradbury made almost daily visits to Schimoll's office, where it supposed he receives his orders. "It looks like a sell out," remarked one of the officers, as they reluctantly denounced. "Brad" has got us in his pocket. If we ever get into the clubhouse to hold another meeting, formal charges will be preferred against Higherbury, which will be followed by oung premises. INFORMATION WANTED: A SQUARE DEAL FOR EVERY MAN AGES PRICE 5 CENTS VICTORY LINCOLN LEAGUE LEADER ELECTED DELEGATE TO CHI. Carries Tenth District Convention in Face Of the Lily White Opposition (Special to the Argus) Mumbai, Tenn. May 3. "The Regular Republican, led by Robert R. Church, put it over the fair and precious Lillies in the Tenth District Convention here Saturday. Following a warm meeting of the district committee, that had been packed against the regulars, from the four counties of the district, the regulars proceeded to take the meeting place away from the lillies and hold a real convention, in which Republican gospel and not post-offices, was the topic of speech. By mention of Dr J. L. Campbell, the election of Robert R. Church, with Josiah T. Settle as alternate, as delegate to the Republican National Convention, was carried with as much enthusiasm as unanimity. The tenth district thus notified the Republican National Convention that the warrior against the lillies would press the battle before a free convention in a free land. The sight was memorable. When Joe Settee called the convention to order and advised the audience, packed in the county courthouse like ancient sardines in an ancient box, that the regulars had decided to maul the life out of the criminals against the Republican party, the lilies were nonplussed. They were out on the outside scared to venture further without police escort which was not in sight. Immediately Church flung his hidden bomb—he nominated Steve Wright, a white Republican, for chairman, and when the lilies peeping over shoulders from the outside, saw Wright take the chair, they gave up the ghost. The chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, "Hon." Hal Clemensm, came down from Knoxville, to lead the lilies to victory, but when poor Hal looked around, he had nothing to lead, except a handful of weary-looking candidates for "favors to come." Jake Woods was elected secretary, and then began to work the most perfect organization colored men have ever perfected. Resolution Extol Party The resolutions, presented by Dr. J. W. Ribbons, extolled the party and nailed the lilies to a cross of scorn; declared for whoever the Chicago convention nominates to put Wilson out of his free lodgings and took pride in the fact that the convention would send Church to Chicago without either instructions or advice Join the Citizens Liberty League and have a part in the right for political recognition. THE BENEFICIARY BOARD OF PYTHIAS MEETS IN KANS.C. Third Quarterly Session Of The Pythians Reveals Wonderful Progress The members of the Beneficiary Board assembled in Kansas City, Mo. on Saturday April 24th for the purpose of holding its third quarterly session for the Pythian year and to adjust and pay all claims against the Beneficiary Department. The full board, consisting of Grand Chancellor A. W. Llord, Grand Keeper of Rewards and Seat W. T. Amcid, Grand Treasurer, J. B. Coleman and Grand Attorney A. Knox. The meeting was held in the law offices of Judge Knox. Wonderful Progress The report showed over $11,000,000 collected for the quarter, and whereas, $5,500,000 was paid out as claims. A surplus of $30,000,000, which with the property owned in St. Louis, brings the total assets of the Grand Lodge well above $55,000,000. The collections for the year up, to the present time is over $20,000,000 and before the close of the year it will reach a sum well pigh $50,000,000. Last year alone, the membership of this progressive and growing institution was augmented by one thousand and it is confidently aspected to exceed this number in the present year. This is clearly indicated by the fact that between seventy-five and one hundred applicants are now pouring into the home office at St. Louis every week. When a retrospect, is taken through nineteen years to the time when Mr. Lloyd was elected Grand Champion in this city at 1734 Grand avenue, the above figures denote a most wonderful progress indeed. Little Acorn Becomes Giantie Oak. In the years of our Lord Eighteen Hundred and Eighty-three, Pride of the West Lodge was organized and for the next eighteen years it was struggle and a hard road for Pythianism. This was revealed by the fact that in 1901 the membership was about 560 for the entire jurisdiction, held in sixteen bays, six of which were in St. Louis and one in Kansas City. Lilty Lodge No. 8, which is the oldest Kansas City subordinate had a membership of about sixteen at that time. Today St. Louis has twenty-one lodges.

Durden is a son of Mississippi, yet his work and the mark he has made in the A. M. R. Church, the whole A. M. B. Connection claims him. Though he is quite a young man his strides in his efforts in assisting other young men and young women in attaining the highest degree of efficiency have made for him the admiration and respect of all people, both white and colored. After finishing the eighth grade public school, he pursued a correspondence course until he graduated and after hard years of theological study he graduated from Wilberforce University in 1911. He returned to his native state after two more years of study and reviewing his work, Campbell College conferred upon him the title of Doctor of Divinity. Still yearning to become better prepared for his life's work, he returned to his alma mater, Wilberforce University and the faculty seeing his fitness conferred upon him the title of "D. D." This young man has responded to each call made by every department of the church. He has given the missionary work particular study and the belief of man is, if he is elected to this office, our work in foreign field and at home will receive the attention it has not received for some time. This is not said as a reflection on the former predecessors or the present encumbrant, but as this is a progressive age and new thoughts, are being put into action for the good of our people, hence expression. This young man comes indorsed by five annual conferences also by the laity of the church and the best white people of the state, including the ex-governor; Hon. Chas. Banks, Mound Bayon; Col. Roscoe C. Simmons, Louisville, Ky., Hon. Pat Harrison, U. S. Senator of Gulfport, Miss. To know how well Rev. Durden stands in his state you only have to read his pamphlet. DR. J. W. HAIR, A. M., D-D. Candidate For Church Extension Secretary Of all the candidates in the field for the above office, there are none better prepared than the above-named aspirant. For thirty years this man has rendered yewman service for the cause of Christianity and for twenty-five years he has been preaching the gospel. During this period, his work stands as a monument which all can point to with pride. He queued to this general conference with heart; if not all at the same time of the Eighth Episcopal District pleaded to him. Dr Hair's patriotism and loyalty cannot be questioned even by those who may dislike him. It be far from him that he would say one word against any other candidate in the field for the same office, but it can be truthfully said that no candidate has done more constructive work than he. Dr Hair is a scholar and has met every test to the satisfaction of those in authority. He is at present presiding elder of the Yazoo district, east Mississippi Conference; President of the Cooperative Congress; Executive Secretary Campbell College and trustee of Wilbefort University. It will be remembered that he received 247 votes at the general conference at Philadelphia in 1916, which makes him the logical candidate for office, and since his friends who stood by him then will stand now, and from the fact that he has grown more popular during this quadrennium, his election is assured. Then the Church Extension Department will take on new life as never before which all will be due to the efforts of this man of vision. DR.EDWARD H. HUNTER Candidate for Bishop Dr. Edward H. Hunter The general conference has brought to the front some of the best trained and most influential ministers in this country, say nothing about race or color. In this number can be counted the Rev. Dr. Edward H. Hunter of Portsmouth, Virginia, pastor of the Emmanuel A. M. E. Church. He is presented to the church by the people of Virginia with a prayer that he be placed on the episcopal bench. His life has been a life of service, spending the required number of years in the school room, preparing for service, then for a number of years he jerseyed his government in the department at Washington, resigning a lucrative position to enter the ministry where he felt he could render a still greater service to mankind. He felt that there was where God needed him. He is a graduate of Lincoln-University, Pennsylvania, and spent a few years in the public school work as teacher in Raleigh, N. C. He studied law at Howard University, completing the course. This was done while serving his country in a clerical position. During his ministry, he has made many friends because of the service he has rendered to his fellow-being, and now he steps out in the world with ability, his experience, his Christian character, and is offered by his follows to his church for the episcopal bench, the place where a man of his training and worth is needed, and will doubtless be placed on the bench by the general conference now in session. A committee of citizens have appointed Levi G. Brown of Portsmouth, president of the Mutual Savings Bank, one of the strongest institutions in the country to come to the city, and present Dr. Hunter, and a memorial to the general conference asking for his election.

A combination of eccentric variety, divided into three acts, with some kind of punch every minute, fills the bill at the Booker Washington Theatre this week. The Russels open the show and this week it is the female that leads in the framing. As a whimsical pair these performers have all others backed off the board. They are clever in knock about, glorious, comedy, and been the audience screaming. and keep the Jazzman Trio, Misses Wilson, Hicks and Olden, have got the crowd rammed to death" They are put in front, some good smiling and friendly dancing. The girls are full of "crap" and mix their spectacles with some spicy humor that keeps the fun going. the film. Edwards and Edwards featuring the burlesque comedian, "Hilton- beans," close the show with their char- acteristic style and hilarious. The act is one big scream, and seems to please the audience, intensely, although some of the lines and antics are at times rather punitive. Next-Week. The Bruce Stoed Company will come to the Phoenix Washington post week. This is a big combination of real real farmers, and the patrons will enjoy their up to the minute musical comedy. A beautiful course of female singers and duo's will furnish plenty of entertainment. AT THE MOVIES Giving do to the limited space due to the sufficiency of paper, only the special features at each theatre can be mentioned in this column. 'For other attractions of the week, see advertisements. - Comet Theatre. From Miss, in Desert love! will be the attraction this Saturday. It is a story of Argonauts, with a background that stretches many years behind. In fact, the story involves the destinies of two men whose fathers had been mortal foes. One of these families, the Marstons, represents law. The other, the Koyons, typify our outlaw. Action is the key note of the production—such action as Ms. Is capable of at his best—thrilling, sweeping, heart-gripping. The management of the Comet has installed a 5-foot ventilating fan, of the Beijer system, and can now lay claim to the coolest picture house on Market Street. This new fan is ideal for picture theatres and keeps the air constantly in circulation, pure and comfortably cool. Just A-Mere…On Sunday and Monday this West End theatre will show Rev Beach in "The Girl From Outside." It is the story of a girl who orphaned on her way to Nome, Alaska, finds herself set down there in a time when riot and vice ran rampant; is a powerful presentation of life in the wild and woolly North of Kloondays. There is a variety of action working logically and swiftly against the background of snow and gold. The psychology of live crooks is developed reliably as is their progresso who a better state of life they come under the radiant influence of June, the "girl from outside." Their leader ultimately hailthems himself for her. The point is that they do not "reform," they change their outlook in altered fundamentally. Perdieton.—Nizimova, the brilliant Russian star, will be seen at the Pendieton in "Stronger Than Death" on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. That action is replete with thrills and climaxes. Nizimova has signed, a London musee hall dancer, who finds love in the almost wilderness of India where the moors go for rest. One of the biggest scenes is her dance on the steps of the temple—a weird dance in the moonlight, which strikes awe and terror to the hearts of the blacks, and causes them to delay their uprising until the British garrison comes in the rescue of the civilian community of Gaya. Her sacrifice is rewarded by the devotion of the hermit doctor, the strong male figure in the tense drama. Star—One of the biggest features of this theatre will be Seese Hayakawa in "The Beggar Prince" on Tuesday. The story is of a fisherman who falls in love with a maiden who was being wooed by a proud princess. The prince abducts the maiden and is followed by Nikh, the assassin him, chasing clothes and assembling a set of prince. The complication brings out a beautiful character story, with thrilling incidents, but finally ends right side up. The Star's feature for Sunday is Criterion. The Universal jewel deluxe attraction, "Bilid Husbanda," will be the Criterion feature Sunday. The story is unique. It develops in the Alpe (not during the war), among the lowering mountains, mostly on their precipitous sides, the sight of which is aye inspiring. An American doctor, his wife, and an Austrian officer are the principals. The constant attention of the officer to the new selected wife, running her sympathy, in the end to teach the teacher a lesson in the themes. The picture is absolutely gripping.

Our purpose is to hasten the distribution of the last $250,000 of the third $1. 000,000 issue of this stock, now on sale. We need that money, for plant extensions and betterments, faster than our customer-investors are supplying it. They are absorbing the issue steadily and surely, but not rapidly enough. Union Electric's customers dur- ing the past three years have invested approximately $2,750,000 in the Company's preferred stock. They are now drawing quarterly cash dividends at the rate of approximately $200,000 a year. A few who bought this stock have been persuaded to sell it and re-invest their money in other securities which temporarily offer a higher dividend rate. More than 90 per cent of our home investors have wisely put their shares away in safe deposit, as a regular and depend- alle 7 per cent income producer. If a genuinely SAFE home 7 per cent investment, in St. Louis' basic industry, permanent and prosperous, State-appraised and State-regulated, appeals to you, we shall be glad to have you become a preferred shareholder in Union Electric Light & Power Company.

We have the solutions offered, but none have been well said that we are not as near to forty years ago.

Why has it been so spontaneous inspires greater hope in those who have the heart, that to see, the contesting delegates in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Virginia and Hawaii that are practiced upon us by the States. The sending of contesting delegates in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Virginia and Hawaii on the part of the Negro, and others that the things of yesterday do not in the Negroes' political faith will, with the greatest problems which has ever people. The reason is obvious. No people anything about the two great politics American politics. MR. SPENCER'S RACE COMMISSION produced in Senate a short time ago by Sen. Missouri, which if carried, creates a contest the race problem in America. Our mind is timely and if passed, will go much of the race problem that is growing mission of nine as the bill now appears three colored. We think, however, that a number of white and colored, because the law have the grievances, whose cause need who perhaps will remember that this race doesn't mean anything. The bill must correctly and persistently and, is subject before it, is finally passed. Much confidence in Senator. Spencer's efforts to push through the bill and payment of the present congress, the Presidency signature there. Just because the Negro has been loyal in the past to American Institutions, States and Nation; and as a group has been the most contented under the most trying circumstances, there are those who delight to continue to rob him of his rights as an American citizen and laugh up their sleeves when we accept it as a matter of course. But old "time" has brought about many changes, and the Negro is beginning to wake up to his rights as an American Citizen. The things of yesterday do not suffice for today. Hence the race problem has been magnified. Many have been the solutions offered, but none seems to get us far. It has been well said that we are not as near to full citizenship as we were forty years ago. We are waking up, and if there are those around us who doubt it, we wish to ask, what meaneth this great political unrest that has manifested itself among us during the past six months? Why has it been so spontaneous from Maine to California? Nothing inspires greater hope in those who have the interest of the race at heart, than to see, the contesting delegates being sent to the Republican National Convention at Chicago as a protest against the wrongs that are practiced upon us by the party leaders in the several States. What masoneth the sending of contesting delegates from Mississippi, Florida, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Virginia and New Jersey? It shows an awakening on the part of the Negro, and serves notice on party leaders that the things of yesterday do not suffice for today. A change in the Negroes' political faith will, without a doubt, present one of the greatest problems which has ever been before the American people. The reason is obvious. No one can fail to see if he knows anything about the two great political parties which dominates American politics. SENATOR SPENCER'S RACE COMMISSION BILL. A bill introduced in Senate a short time ago by Senator Selden Spencer of Missouri, which if carried, creates a commission of nine to study the race problem in America. The bill, to our mind is timely and if passed, will go a long way toward a solution of the race problem that is growing daily in this country. The commission of nine as the bill now appears provides for six white and three colored. We think, however, that there should be an equal number of white and colored, because the Negroes are the group that have the grievances, whose cause needs remedial legislation. The public, who perhaps will remember that this bill being merely introduced doesn't mean anything. The bill must be pushed by its author successfully and persistently and, is subject to many amendments before it, is finally passed. We have much confidence in Senator, Spencer's ability and earnestness in his efforts to push through the bill and predict that ere the adjournment of the prescnt congress, the President shall have attached his signature thereto.

Changes in Rules A number of changes in the baseball rules have been adopted by the major leagues. Among the most important are the pitcher must throw to the batter and the catcher cannot stand out to take an off throw in order to walk a dangerous man; When a batter dodges a ball, and it hits his bat, it is called a "dead ball" instead of a foul strike; Both forms of the pitcher must be on the rhyber, and both hands must be on the ball until it makes his delivery. If he makes a "buff" of throw to fear it it is counted a "ball" harmless him. One of the special rules which will govern the games on the local diamond is a runner shall be advanced one base if a ball thrown to catch him passes to the grand stand.
