ANTIS LOSE THREE STATES. Utah, Under Mormon Influence, Only Commonwealth to Adopt Prohibition Measure During Year. "Is tobacco going to have its scalp added to the belt of the prohibitionist beside that of the lamented but as yet not altogether late alcohol?" is the question asked by Garret Smith in an article in the current issue of Leslie's Magazine. The writer reaches the conclusion that while there has been increased agitation and legislative activity on the subject of tobacco following the success of the drive for prohibition of liquor the efforts of reformers seeking to abolish tobacco have no general support. This opinion is based on the results of the questionnaires on the subject sent out to newspaper editors of the country by the Press Service Company of New York City. The questions asked were: (1) Do you favor the enactment of laws prohibiting the personal use of tobacco by adults? (2) In your judgment does the general sentiment of your community favor such legislation? (3) Use of tobacco personally objectionable to you? No arguments accompanied the questions and from their form it was impossible for any editor to determine the attitude of the questioners. Out of 12,518 editors questioned, 7,847 replied according to the summary given. These editors, it is estimated, represent a combined circulation of 21,870,046. Of the 7,847 editors replying, 7,393, or 95 per cent, represent public sentiment in their communities as opposed to anti-tobacco legislation. Only 260 editors, or 3 per cent of those replying believed there was any considerable sentiment favorable to tobacco prohibition. There were 174, or 2 per cent, in doubt, while 20 failed to record their judgment. Editors' Judgment Unbiased "It is of special interest to note that 569 editors in answering the first question, personally favored such legislation, although only 260 of them reported that public opinion also favored the prohibition of tobacco—an indication of the conscientious effort made by the editors to distinguish public opinion from their own personal opinions," the article continues. "The highest percentage of replies reporting public opinion favorable to prohibition of tobacco came from Utah, where 42 per cent of the editors thought the public were for such a movement. Utah is the only state which has since adopted an anti-cigarette law. The result was forecast by several of the editors who stated that the influence of the Mormon Church was against tobacco. The Mormon Church is also strong in Idaho, which is the other state where the use of tobacco was recently prohibited, but the governor has signed the bill just passed, in which the prohibitory legislation is repealed. In this state 89 per cent of the editors estimate sentiment in their communities as agreeable to prohibition, which, although 6 per cent below the average reported opposition. "The legislature of Tennessee some weeks ago passed and the governor has signed a bill repealing the anti-cigarette law of that state. The commissionaire showed 93 per cent of its editors believed the public against anti-tobacco legislation. The legislature of Arkansas has also passed a bill repealing its anti-cigarette law. In this state 94 per cent of the editors reported against tobacco prohibition. Arizona's Practical Joke "A bill, introduced in the current session of the legislature of Arizona to prohibit smoking in public dining rooms and other public places, was first amended to prohibit the consumption in public of peanuts, chewing gum, tea and coffee and then defeated by the senate. The questionnaire returns from that state were 92 per cent 'no.' "In Iowa where the 'no's' were 95 per cent a bill to repeal the anticigarette law has been passed and signed by the governor. "A bill to repeal the anticigarette law in Kansas, with 89 per cent 'no's, is receiving the attention of its legislature. Last year a petition for a referendum in Oregon to prohibit the use of tobacco failed of sufficient signatures to bring the question to a vote, and 95 per cent of the editors declare their public against legislation. In Oklahoma an anti-cigarette bill has been reported unfavorably in the house. The editors of that state reported 94 per cent against its public support. "Outside of Utah, where Mormon influence predominates," the article concludes, "the anti-tobacco movement appears, as in the case of Tennessee, Arkansas and Iowa, to be leased ground and is not to any considerable extent supported by the people." The friends of tobacco feel particularly elated over this showing, lasm as much as 1920-21 was a maximum year in legislative circles with 42 state legislatures in session and the tobacco subject received an unusual amount of consideration. HAS LIVELY EVENING Alleged Thief Leaps 40 Feet and Lands on Auto. Then He Tries to Take 30-Foot Plunge to Railroad Tracks, but Police-man Gets Him. New York.—This is how Alex Urbanuft, twenty-six, an unemployed tailor, accused of having robbed a woman of her pocketbook containing $10, spent an evening. First returned the purse containing the money at the Bridge Plaza elevated station in Long Island city, where he is accused of perluing it, when his alleged victim confronted him. Ran when his accuser, Mrs. Mary Howell of 322 Crescent street screamed for the police. Leaped from the end of the station platform to the tracks. Made record speed for four blocks when pursued by a special policeman and a crowd of men. At a point over the Diagonal street viaduct he almost ran into an approaching train. To save himself he leaped 40 feet for the street. He landed on top of a swift passing automobile and was bounced off to the roadway. He saw Mounted Patrolman Kavanaugh coming toward him, ran to the railing of the viaduct and was about to leap to the tracks of the Long Island railroad, a distance of 40 feet, when he was intercepted. Taken to Hunter's Point police station he was finger-printed. Suffering from shock and other injuries, he was removed to St. John's hospital. Here he was found to have sustained a bad injury to his left leg and shoulder and possibly internal injuries. ORPHAN FINDS HOME Miss Clara Brown, Los Angeles, while visiting the Diamond Bar ranch, was moved with sympathy by an orphaned two-day-old pig. She took the little one, and now "Diamond" enjoys all the comforts of a pretty home. His happiest moments are at meal time, when Miss Brown feeds the "baby," as the picture shows. Squirrel Found in Stomach of Trout Columbia, La.-Can fish climb a tree or do squirrels take a bath occasionally? This is the question being asked by G. T. McSween. While he and his daughter, Mrs. Annie Wear, were fishing in Horseshoe lake they caught five unusually large trout, of which appeared to be somewhat overfed. On opening them, a squirrel was found in one, and a two-pound gar fish in the other. How that trout got that squirrel is the puzzling proposition. Gruel Pot of Famous St. George's Workhouse in London Goes to Museum. London—St. George's workhouse, just south of London bridge, where Oliver Twist had the audacity to ask for a second helping of thin gruel, has been closed by the poor law authorities and the inmates have been transferred elsewhere. The gruel of which Dickens' child hero and his fellow sufferers partook was made in a copper cauldron, which is to be presented to the Southmark borough council's museum. "Floating Crematory" for Japas Tokyo—Tokyo will soon have a "floating crematory," the first of its knd in Japan. Two specially constructed vessels of 150 tons each, with facilities for cremating 30 bodies at a time, will be used. The vessels will be anchored at a wharf at Shibura, and after funeral services have been held on the day they will leave for a point about seven miles off the bay for the cremation. THE APPEAL. GARDEN OF EDEN WANTS NURSES GARDEN OF EDEN WANTS NURSES American Church Crusaders Are Hampered by Lack of Medical Skill. CALL FROM "CRADLE OF RACE" Arabs Show Willingness to Accept What Formerly They Fought— Mesopotamia Is Completely Changed by World War. New York.-Wanted. Doctors and nurses for the Garden of Eden The call comes from the "cradle of the race" itself, the land watered by the Tigris and the Euphrates—Mesopotamia. And the need stands between American crusaders and the answer to their prayers for 30 years. For decades the Garden of Eden and all the vast expanse of desert, steppe and fertile land that is Arabia have flamed with the fanaticism of pagan and of Moslem tribes. For 30 years the mission workers among these Arabs, notably the Arabish, mission of the Reformed Church of America, have prayed for a means to penetrate this barrier and reach these wild tribesmen. And they have prayed for a change of the spirit of the people. They have prayed for the interchurch To both prayers have come answers. An economic, social and religious study of the country now being conducted by the Interchurch World Movement as a means to making practicable a closer co-operation of American Evangelical churches in their common tasks, shows that Mesopotamia has been completely changed by the world war and that all Arabia has been affected. The survey shows, too, that medical work is the best and in many cases the only possible method by which the initial contact may be established between the pagans and Moslems, on one side, and the crusaders of the cross, on the other. And now, when the Arabs show a willingness to work what formerly they fought—when important opportunities for service are offered the crusaders—they are helpless for lack of doctors and nurses. The finest hospital of the Reformed church mission is standing idle, reports the Interchurch World Movement survey. And the survey reveals more than the need of medical men and women. There is a shortage of workers, both foreign and native. Large Unexplored Territory. Arabia, the survey shows, contains the largest unexplored territory in Asia—possibly in the world. It has a total area of 1,230,276 square miles and it lies in the southeastern part of the great peninsula. The crusaders of the cross have been limited to the eastern coast and the vicinity of Eden. Hejaz, the Moslem "holy land" where lie Mecca and Medina, has no missionaries. Hadramau, with a population of 500,000, is untouched. There is not a single mission station far inland. At the hour of opportunity, created by the world war, the call comes from the crusaders, through the Interchurch World Movement survey; for first for more doctors and nurses for the Garden of Eden and the Arabian interior; and then for more workers. On the basis of what the survey has revealed, the Interchurch World Movement is shaping a program for the cooperative effort of the Protestant churches in America to win the nomad tribes of Arabia, and the present dwellers in the garden, to the ideals of Christianity. Major Is Jailed for Gardening in Nightie Los Angeles, Cal.-Because he persisted in attending to his garden clad only in his abbreviated night shirt, Maj. E, A Weed, seventy-nine, of Santa Monica, was arrested. Major Weed's arrest came following a complaint made against him by Robert H. Green. The police say that Major Weed was seen in his garden by many of the neighbors, who had remonstrated with him in vain. During the war drives, Major Weed did some excellent work. He is a widower. Rat Killing Time Comes Again. Falmouth, Ky.—The successful ratkilling party staged on the J. E. Keller farm has suggested that "rat parties" would be a good thing for the farmers of that section. The rodents are particularly bad at present, but there are fewer on the Eckler farm in many a day. While moving tobacco sticks three members of the party killed 83 rats and at the same time permitted six to get away. Food for the Judicial Intellect. London, Ky.—Should fithers of girls be allowed to racking chairs strong enough to hold two people in the question involved in a $8 suit here. A father sued a young man for that sum for wrecking a rocking chair when the girl sat on her beau's趴. The father recovered damages in the magistrate's office, but Judge Luker reversed the decision, holding the chair was not as strong as it should have been. Defective Page Large Unexplored Territory RAVAGED BY LOCUSTS Province in Argentina Swept by Plague of Insects. Disappear as Suddenly as They Come, Leaving Desert of Country They Pase Through. Buenos Aires. A plague of locusts, like that which in ancient Egypt "covered the face of the earth," this year descended upon the province of Santa Fe. Similar offensives are almost annual events in one part or other of Argentina. The locusts come suddenly and without warning. Where for a year or several years perhaps not one of the insects has been seen, a veritable cloud of them will one day appear and settle the ground. These usually come from the northwest from the vast almost uninhabited tracts in Bolivia, it is supposed. They cover the earth like a moving carpet, gradually moving on. At first little damage is doe, aside from the inconvenience of having literally millions of the insects covering everything and even penetrating the houses. But as they progress through the country they bore holes into the earth, preferably in hard spots such as roadways, into which they deposit their eggs. Within a short time the larva are hatched and come forth. At first these cannot fly, and it is at this stage that they devour every living plant within their path, with the exception of a few species such as willow. A little later the insects develop their wings and, leaving the country through which they have passed a desert, they disappear almost as suddenly as they came. Where they go to has never been discovered. Argentina has had recourse to many methods of fighting the locusts. The nation maintains organized locust fighting squads, something like those formed to fight fires, and these are sent every year to the sections invaded. In addition, every rancher is held responsible for fighting the pest in his own locality. "One of the methods employed is to dig trenches in which the insects are collected, afterward being burned. But no matter how many millions of them are made away with in any such manner, it is impossible to block the pest, owing to the great extent of Argentina, much of which is still very sparsely settled." Even the bow-wows are being fitted out with goggles for motoring, according to a report from Boston, which states that goggles for dogs have been placed on sale there. A prominent Boston woman who is in the habit of taking her dog on motoring trips started the fad. The dog was suffering from eye strain as the result of riding out on windy days.

Uncover Huge Ruins at Garden of Gethsemane London—The Palestine department of antiquities, which had charge of the exploration work being carried out in the city of Ascalon, announces the discovery of some huge marble pillars and statues, says a dispatch from Jerusalem. The department has also unearthed some medieval and Fourth century churches and mosaic pavements at the foot of the Mount of Olives, leading into the Garden of Gethsemane. Run Big Bill in "Libre" Taxi. Mexico City.—In the belief that they were graciously being extended the freedom of the city, several Texas excursionists halted a taxicab marked "Libre" and toured the city half a day. When presented with a rather large bill they protested, telling the driver his car was labeled "Free" and was part of an entertaining committee's courtesies. The bill was paid when they were reliably informed that every taxicab "at liberty" or "ready to hire" is marked "Libre". Buried in the Wrong Town. New Albany, Ind.—Although nothing is known here concerning Samuel Peacock, overseas soldier, whose body arrived here for burial, members of the American Legion took charge of the funeral. RICH FORSAKE FIFTH AVENUE Tradesmen Steadily Break Exclusiveness of Noted Residence District of New York. MRS. VANDERBILT LEADS WAY New Exclusive District Expected to Spring Up in Section Where Near-Slums Existed Before—Long Fight for District. New York.—Stealthy but steady advances by tradesmen, covering a period of more than twenty years, have virtually broken the residential exclusiveness of Fifth avenue, known the world over as the home precinct of the Vanderbiltls, Carnegies, Harrimans, Plants, Fricks and other wealthy families. One by one mansions which housed international personages and gave to Fifth avenue much of its glitter and fame are surrendering to commercial enterprise, and the rich are seeking homes in new "exclusive" parts of the city. Real estate men, who have watched with interest this aggression of trade, say that another decade will have-wiped out the last bit of residential exclusiveness in the avenue. Mrs. Vanderbilt Moves. The change in Fifth avenue was reflected in the recent purchase of property bordering the East river at Fifteenth street by Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt sr., where she intends to build a house known as Sutton square. This bit of property is directly across from Bleeck island, where a city prison is located, and almost underneath the Manhattan approach to the Queensborough bridge. Real estate men expect that Mrs. Vanderbiltls migration to the East river will mean a new exclusive district in a part of the city where near-slums existed before. Mrs. Vanderbilt, who a few years back helped to make Fifth avenue history with her brilliant social activities, said when she purchased the East river property that Fifth avenue had "lost its residential atmosphere, which was its most valuable charm." Traffic and crowds, resulting from the trade invasion, she said, had taken away its exclusiveness. Wage Fight for District. The fight to "save" Fifth avenue has been waged since the late nineties, when real estate men began to get options on property near the magnificent mansions. Members of the Vanderbilt family and others owning homes there expended millions of dollars in buying up property in an effort to stem the tide. Much of this property was purchased at exorbitant figures, and after a lapse of years has fallen back for business use. Hotels, banking houses, jewelry stores, millinery and fine tailoring establishments have gradually crept northward along the thoroughfare. The home which Mrs. Vanderbilt is forsaking at Fifth avenue and Fifty-second street will become the site of a trust company. Its sale was made possible as the result of the death of Mr. Vanderbilt in Paris, when the house, owned by his estate, was sold to the highest bidder. The first actual break in the Vanderbilt holdings came when Gen. Corpellus Vanderbilt leased his home at Fifth avenue and Fifty-fourth street to a shoe firm. The residence of the late Henry C. Frick, steel magnate, will eventually go to the city for use as a museum. TERROR DREAM KILLS VOICE Family Near Death, Farmer Visions Fatal Crash—Becomes Mute and Hair Turns White. Onawa, Iowa.—A total loss of speech followed a dream in which H. M. Jessen, a farmer, dreamed that he saw his wife and children mangled under an overturned automobile. Jessen and his family had planned an automobile trip to Sloux City. Detained by farm chores, he followed the car by train and arrived in Sloux City before his family did. Sitting in the lobby of a hotel, he dreamed of the fatal accident. Awakening, he frantically waved his arms and opened and closed his mouth, but could not speak. When his family arrived they said their car had stabbed on a North Western track, and trailed came within a few inches of the car before it stopped, narrowly averting a fatal crash. Jessen appears to have been struck permanently deaf, and his hair has turned white. Mners Earn $5,000 a Year. Cardiff, Wales.—Some coal miners of South Wales are being paid as high as $5,000 a year, while wages amounting to $3,500 and $4,000 are fairly common. Despite this, the government is having difficulty in collecting income taxes from the miners. Last year nearly 15,000 of them were summoned for non-payment, but only 12 of this number were committed to prison. Wheeling, W. Va.-Life imprisonment was the sentence passed upon sixteen-year-old Samuel Blevens, formerly of Little Rock, Ark., in court here, after the boy had pleaded guilty to a charge of murder.

SMUGGLERS RUN WILD Traffic Carried on Huge Scale on German Border. Customs Officials Are in Plots and Government Is Unable to Check Evil. Berlin.-Smuggling over the Dutch and Danish frontiers, which the German government had gone to great effort to suppress, again is flourishing "on a colossal scale," and at some points with the full knowledge and connivance of many government officials, according to reports reaching here. Smugglers are declared to be outbidding the government for the aid of dishonest officials, and the "veritable army of customs officers on the borders have permitted millions of marks worth of tobacco, cigars, cigar coffee and sugar to cross the border duty free within the last few months." Flying squadrons of customs office have been organized by the government to catch the smugglers who are said to have so thoroughly systematized their operations that "customs receipts are rapidly falling back to nothing, for custom control is again only on paper." Fifty thousand pounds of coffee are being smuggled over the daily border at one point, a report says, and smugglers everywhere are working with the sympathy and assistance of all dwellers along the frontiers. Men, women and even children, are said to be engaged in this trade. High prices, low wages of customs officials are depicted as one of the mark is credited as one of the principal causes for the widespread violation of import and export regulations. The smugglers are described as being so well organized and so confident they carry on their business "by land and wholesale scale, and quite openly." SOME EARRINGS! Count 'em. Forty on each ear. It is one of the big customs of the "Garo Fills" tribe in India for a warrior's widow to wear these unique earrings as a means of showing her sorrow. GREENLAND IS MOVING WEST Danish Scientists Figure It Has Traveled 875 Miles in 100,000 Years. Copenhagen—Greenland is slowly moving in a westerly direction. According to observations made in 1907 by J. P. Koch of the Danish Mylius-Erlichson scientific expedition, Greenland was three minutes further west than in 1870, when a German expedition made astronomical observations. In both instances the same northern latitude was found. Therefore, Greenland moved west 1,333 yards in 37 years. The first observation of the longitude of Greenland was made in 1823. Comparing the findings in 1823 and 1870 one arrives at the conclusion that Greenland "wandered" ten yards westery every year. That tends to show that Greenland and Norway, now about 875 miles apart, once were connected, the separation taking place 50,000 or 100,000 years ago. Weasel Leaps Into Jaws of 'Gator for Safety Pascagoula, Miss—A party of hunters which has just returned here from Bayou Casotte reports that on Saturday the men saw an alligator prepare to attack a weasel, whereupon the weasel, with remarkable alacrity, leaped into the 'gator's extended jaws and slid down into its stomach. The hunters say they were astonished at the actions of the weasel and awaited results. Within fifteen minutes they observed the weasel eating its way through the entrails of the monster. According to the hunters, the fondness for eggs prompted the slender animal to take its chances in the alligator. Consumers Back Textile Mills. Gera, Germany — a great consumer's association has been formed at this manufacturing center of Thuringia to help the industry to force mills in an attempt to force down prices and relieve unemployment. $2.40 PER YEAR MANY INDUSTRIES TIED TO TOBACCO Prohibition of Weed Would Mean Big Financial Loss to Allied Trades. WHO USES THE MATCH? The Smoker Mainly—Also Responsible for Spending Hundreds of Millions Annually for Licorice, Sugar, Coal, Cigar Boxes, Tin Foil, Etc. BY GARRET SMITH "Got a match?" How many times a day is that question asked in these United States? How many more times is the question unnecessary because most pockets are kept well supplied with the useful little article? Anyhow, inasmuch as it is estimated that there are 30,000,000 tobacco users in the country, we would guess that the answer to that question would run into the hundreds of millions. For if it weren't for the smokers in these days of electric lights how many machines would be used? A pretty small number of the number of these "sticks of blanks" produced in the country every year. Abolish tobacco and the match business would be shot to pieces. But the match business is only one of a dozen or more allied industries which derive large revenues directly or indirectly from the tobacco trade and would suffer heavily if national prohibition of tobacco were to go into effect as some of our reformers would have it. The annual sales of tobacco products, based on retail prices, is estimated at $1,937,000,000. Of the cost of producing and selling this quantity of cigars, cigarettes and other forms of the weed, some hundreds of million dollars are paid out for other things than the raw tobacco and labor of making it up. $25,000,000 a Year for Boxes For example, the tobacco trade consumes each year 45,000,000 pounds of licorice, 50,000,000 pounds of sugar, both used in flavoring tobacco, and 650,000 tons of coal. It is estimated that the value of wooden cigar boxes used is 25,000,000 a year, quite an item to the lumber business and to manufacturers of the boxes. In making these boxes 550,000 pounds of nails are employed. Other large items used in making and preparing tobacco for sale are tin and lead fall, paper for bags and cigarette wrappers, cloth for tobacco bags, labels, coupons, etc., involving the printing trade extensively. Then building contractors and manufacturers of machinery are largely interested. Investments in plants and machinery employed in manufacture are estimated at $102,000,000. Replacement, up-keep and interest on the investment make no small sum annually. And let realty men note there are approximately 225,000 tobacco farms in the country, with a total estimated valuation of $160,000,000. Of further interest to real estate men is the fact that there are 700,000 retail establishments selling tobacco, involving a total rental and up-keep impossible to estimate, besides the large amount of office space occupied by administrative branches of the general business. The insurance men, too, have their share of the pickings. The tobacco business pays out annually $7,000,000 in premiums in the United States. And there are the railroads who reap revenue from 2,210,000 tons of tobacco products every year. As for the advertising business, here again it is impossible to form any estimate of the enormous annual outlay. The prohibition of tobacco would also knock a good-sized hole in the receipts of the United States government. The internal revenue receipts from tobacco for the fiscal year 1250 amounting to $1,000,000,000,000,000 provided an additional $250,000,000 in round figures, making the total revenue return to the government $320,000,000. Influence on Popular Sentiment It is this interlocking of the tobacco business with so many other interests and the vast amount of financial loss that would be involved in the abolition of tobacco that is one of the most serious aspects of the proposal to prohibit the sale of tobacco, a proposal, however, which has little support by public sentiment if the newspaper editors of the country are correct in their estimate of that sentiment. In a poll of the editors made recently by the Tobacco Merchants' Association of the United States, through the Press Service Company of New York City, 95,000 editors who replied expressed the opinion that people of their communities were opposed to any law against tobacco. As these editors represent some 80,000,000 readers the results form a pretty general test of national opinion. In their remarks accompanying their replies many of the editors expressed it as their opinion that the opposition of their communities to the abolition of tobacco was based to some extent at the demand of the business industry change would do to the business interest the community. This was particularly true in the tobacco growing states and centers where there were large tobacco plants. But when the extent of the business involved in the allied interests of the tobacco trade is considered, as above briefly outlined, it is clear that there was a need to ensure that would not be affected directly or indirectly by abolishing tobacco.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE On Thursday evening, Charles Gilpin, the distinguished colored actor, playing in "The Emperor Jones," was complimented by newspaper men with a reception at the Press Club of Chicago after the theaters closed. Every other current production was represented in the gathering. Among the actor guests were Frank Bacon of "Lightnin'", Grant Mitchell, "The Champion," and Francis Wilson and the girls in "Ermine." It is very gratifying to note the general recognition of the extraordinary talent of Gilpin. JAZZ IN JERUSALEM. Jazz music is in its death throes in the U. S. A., but Jerusalem is wild over the meaning of the saxophone. The oriental dances have been almost discarded and the native girls are taking up with those brought from the occident by the soldiers of the allied forces. All kinds of jazz are in favor and jazz records are being sold in large quantities. WOMEN AS PREACHERS. The women are demanding their right to become preachers of the gospel on equal terms with the men. At a recent meeting of women pastors a speaker declared that the majority of the church members at present are women drawn by the eloquence and magnetism of the male preachers and if women were installed as pastors would fall over each other in the efforts to get into the fold. The Reverend Clarence Edward Macartney of Philadelphia, dissents from this view and says that the ordination of women as ministers of the gospel would be prejudicial to the best interests of the church and "would increase the occasions for factional scandal and satanic' church quarreling." No doubt the men would be attracted to the church services if the shepherdess was young and charming, had a trim figure, a wore a peek-a-boo waist, with a skirt falling to her knees, the portion of her anatomy from that point to the French-heeled oxfords encased in "invisible" silk stockings. It would not matter what she said, the attendance of the men including all of the bald-headed "fathers in Israel" would swamp the meeting house—and they would all be in the front pews—if possible. TROUBLE WITH THE SOUTH. In an article in the Smart Set Mr. H. L.

The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. the debacle of fifty-six years ago. He says: "That debacle almost obliterated civilization in the whole region, and so the surviving Confederates took to sentimentalizing the civilization that had collapsed and departed. That sentimentalization, in the end, became a sort of sacred duty, a benevolent mania, a furious and unintelligible cult, and the Southerner himself a walking sarcophagus of dead ideas. The result was that human thought in the whole region was reduced to a mere poll-parroting of formulae. The Southerner became the most indiotic patriot ever heard of in terrestrial history. Everything Southern took on sacrosanity in his eyes, from the swinish politics of the jobseekers who herded the cracker and Confederate veteran vote to the barbaric theology of the Methodist and Baptist dervishes, and from the pious nonsense of the roving Prohibitionists, free-silver fanatics and generalized chauauquans to the revolting indecencies of the Southern cotton-mill owners. All conceivable human problems were precipitated into platitudes. To question these platitudes became downright dangerous to life and limb." THE WINGED BEDBUG. The writer recalls a bit of doggere of years long gone: But he gets there just the same. Times have changed since that was written. With the coming of the new era of airships, seventy-five mile guns, poison gas and other atrocities, it is now said that the winged bedbug has arrived at Constantinople and is driving hotelkeepers, their guests, and housewives to the utter despair born of sleepless nights. It has, so the dispatches say, invaded the palace of the sultan and added to his many worries. It is smaller than the pre-war type and those who have examined it assert that it has wings and flies like a mosquito. Its activities defy mosquito netting. It appears to be able to bite through sucn netting. It does not always secrete itself in the bedding, but may stow itself in the ceilings and from there drop upon its victims. It does not come singly, but in married couples with large families, attacking from all directions. The old style bug was bad enough, but bedbugs with wings! Angels and minister of grace defend us! A SHAFT OF JEFF DAVIS. It will be recaled that Louisville, Kentucky never yielded allegiance to the illegal Confederate government and yet the Daughters of the Confederacy have selected that city as the site for a monument 351 feet high to the memory of Jefferson Davis. Davis was in no sense a great statesman, simply a clever politician, but as an ardent advocate of the Confederacy whose capstone was slavery, he typifies a doctrine which cost our country a million lives and a billion in gold. The monument will serve no useful purpose as the cause it glorifies is dead. The Daughters of the Confederacy ought to devote the money they will spend on the Davis shaft to aiding the veterans who fought to preserve our liberties, rather than waste it on a memorial to the man whose life was given to the destruction of his native land.

WERE THE CARDS STACKED? Twenty-three years ago the United States occupied the Philippine Islands, promising independence for the Filipinos in about twenty years or as soon as the natives were "qualified for freedom." Shortly after coming into power the present Republican administration sent a mission consisting of Gen. Leonard Wood and W. Cameron Forbes to investigate present conditions and the report just made, which will not reach Washington for five or six weeks, recommends that the United States must keep the islands. Two months ago, long before the investigation had been completed, Gen. Wood was nominated for governor. Did Uclef Sam stack the cards on the liberty-loving Filipinos? NOT A LEADER IN THOUGHT. NOT A LEADER IN THOUGHT. Bearing a Tuskegee date line, an excerpt from the London (England) Times is going the rounds of the press, lauding the head of Tuskegee Institute; and it says among other things: "Dr. Moton is the leader of Negro thought in the U. S." This statement needs some qualification. Moton was put in as head of the school because the interests which support it wished him there as a mouthpiece through which they could express THEIR thoughts. Emmett J. Scott was the logical candidate for the place, but it is said that at the meeting at which the election took place, some one suggested that Scott would not be so easy to control as Moton. That decided the matter. THE APPEAL does not underestimate the strength of Dr. Moton. He has powerful interests behind him and he has a large following, but he is in no sense a great thinker or a leader in thought. There are thousands of colored men who are in every way superior intellectually and yet are not hampered by some of the traits he has shown. Specifically, in the matter of his alleged refusal to protest against the ejection of his wife from a Pullman sleeper several years ago, his alleged speeches to the colored soldiers in France, and his continual laudation of the South in his public utterances. Dr. Moton has recently written a book called, "Finding a Way Out," but as a reviewer said, he seemed to be "getting in deeper." Although written in grammatical English, there are no "high lights" and certainly no evidences of great thought or literary ability. To the most casual observer, "Major" Moton is not a leader in thought, but a follower, who not only thinks, but says that which pleases the South, and as a reward the South gives him not justice for the people he is picked to represent, but a pat on the back as a "good negro." "SPECIAL EXPERT." The following from the Richmond Planet upholds THE APPEAL'S contention and says truly that the policy will serve to "fan the flames of race prejudice:" Hon. Charles R. Forbes of Seattle, Washington, who was recently appointed Director of the United States Veterans' Bureau, has seen fit to appoint Dr. J. R. A. Crossland of St. Joseph, Mo., "Special Expert" in this department to look after the interests of colored ex-service men. This is a fitting recognition of one of our ablest leaders. Nevertheless, it emphasizes the drawing of the color line who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, ant, may condemn, of relatives may be parts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of theances of relatives or against which the far-seeing leaders of the colored people in this country have protested without seeming effect. Under this ruling, it may soon be expected that Irish-American citizens will be appointed only with the understanding that they shall look after the Irishman's interests. Hebrews will look after those affairs, which affect the Jews. Indians will be appointed to look after the interests of the Indians, the Germans to look after the Germans. Italians to look after the interests of the Italians, and so on. Dr. Crossland gave an only son to the cause in Europe and as a result he is confined in his operations to the race with which his son was identified. We understand now, that colored men will hold offices all right but these offices will be confined to work amongst the colored people exclusively. This will fan the flames of race prejudice rather than stamp out the crowning infamy of this age. Financially, we may be benefited, but as a matter of fundamental principle, we are needlessly humiliated and our progress in the direction of full American citizenship and its attendant privileges checked for many years to come. (From the Chicago Whip.) Dr. J. R. Crossland of St. Joseph, Mo., has been appointed to handle the claims of the black veterans of the late World War. The claims of the black soldiers are the same as those of the white and Dr. Crossland has really accepted a Jim Crow job. Perry Howard, another prominent "Uncle Tom" politician, also accepted a Jim Crow job. As long as we take these political handouts, as long as our "leaders" are too hungry to refuse them, of course they will be tendered our race. (APPEAL Editorial Sept. 3, 1921.) THE APPEAL is sorry to note that the color line has been drawn in the new Veterans' Bureau by the organization of a "Colored Division" and the appointment of Dr. J. R. A. Crossland as its head. Crossland lost a son who fell "fighting for democracy" in France, and it is a poor reward for the father to be given a segregated bureau. It is also said that he was an effective speaker in the last campaign, in which it was given out that the Republican party would abolish segregation in the departments at Washington. If these things are true Crossland deserves better treatment at the hands of the victors, and he also should have refused the appointment as undemocratic and demanded the same treatment as is given to other groups of American citizens. One Lasker, a Jew, was made head of the U. S. Shipping Board. Representatives of other racial groups have been given places, but not in segregated bureaus. No President of the United States would dare offer a Jew a place as the head of a segregated Jewish bureau. There is no such place and never will be. Only colored people are segregated by this alleged democracy. Some people may think that the "special" appointments which have been handed out by the present Republican administration are forward movements, but they are really nails in the coffin of democracy and are dangerous to the social and political status of the 'colored people. The Administration ought to cut out these "special" jobs, eliminate segregation which was promised in the campaign, and if colored men are to have appointotions let them be on a level with those given to other groups of American citizens. Better no places at all than those which lower the status of the race and automatically make their holders defenders of segregation. SOUTHERN "FORWARD" BUNK. Recently there was a layman's conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, held at Lake Junaaska, N. C., and one Rev. W. W Alexander of Atlanta, Ga., took the stage and said: "The next big forward step in the inter-racial readjustment is to come from the South, and the reason for it is perfectly apparent. The South can afford to do it. Then too the South has the social prestige to do this. The social question figures largely in the race question. So the South can, when it will take the leadership in inter-racial co-operation. I believe that the South will assume the leadership with the same sort of pride and determination as it led the nation. It has been the universal opinion of those who have come in close touch with the question that Negro leaders do not desire or seek social equality. They have asked for police protection, better housing and living conditions and a chancé to develop into useful American citizens with every determination to, maintain their own social life and the purity of the two racial stocks." It is true that some of the jim-crow "leaders" of the South have said that they do not want anything but police protection and do not care to vote, etc., ad nauseam, but the colored people of the North will fight to the last ditch against any scheme of the South to impose its plan of settlement upon the country. They know that the South has, in all its "forward" movements proceeded like the crab—backward. They know that the colored citizens of the South have been disfranchised, discriminated against, segregated, de- graded in every way, denied education, lynched, burned at the stake. There have been riots and lynchings in the North, but never a burning, and for every lynching in the North there have been 50 in the South. Nowhere in the South have the colored people any part in the local government, and first of all they wish the right to vote and participate in the governments under which they live. The colored people know that the so-called Christian church has remained dumb for 50 years in spite of growing anarchy, and now when it speaks it comes with a jimcrow plan. And as usual the South talks of "social equality." The real intelligent colored people all over the country do not wish to be segregated from other American citizens in the enjoyment of CIVIL RIGHTS. They do not wish to be designated as pariads. This has nothing to do with intermarriage, and it is the veriest rot to say that it means intermarriage for white and colored people to ride in the same car or to go to the same library. In the North, where there are no jimcrow laws, colored and white people go together in public places without intermarriage. Marriages between white and colored people are so rare that when they occur, and that is seldom, there is a long story in the papers about the event. In the South, where there are laws against intermarriage, practically all of the UNLAWFUL mixing goes on as it is promoted by the difference in the social status of the white and colored people. The surest way to "maintain racial purity" would be to repeal all of the Southern jimcrow laws. So long as the colored people are a voteless people and on a lower social and civil plane, the illegal racial mixing will continue. That is history. In his enumration of what the colored people desire, Rev. Alexander omitted two of the most important things—the right to vote and the aobition of public segregation. There is absolutely no hope of a settlement of the race question on just American lines if the South is to have the leadership, especially if that leadership is to eb vested in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which has ever been the foe of the colored people from the time of the split over slavery in the forties up to the present time when the church refuses to merge with the Methodist Episcopal Church, North, because the latter church elected colored bishops. THE "MENACE" OF BUDDHISM A woman who has been a Christian missionary in Japan for 18 years called the attention to the Disciples of Christ, at a recent general conference, to the growing "menace" of Buddhism. She said that Buddhist priests and teachers are coming in increasing numbers and are urging the Japanese in the U. S. to have nothing to do with the Christian religion on the ground that its followers call them inferior and oppress them. She also stated that Buddhism is also gaining among Americans and that many colored people were being converted. It is not strange that the religion of the gentle Gautama Buddha should appeal to the colored people, because it not only teaches the equality of ammkind, but practices its teachings. Orthodox Christianity in the U. S. teaches inequality of race and oppresses, disfranchises, lynches and burns colored Christians at the stake. It is aided in "keeping the "nigger" in his place" by the Ku Klux Klansmen, who, barring the Jews and Catholics, kneel before the "Flaming Cross" and swear to uphold "white supremacy." ATLANTA THE LIMIT. Atlanta, Ga., seems to have been and is yet, the breeding place of nearly all the four things which feed on race prejudice and religious intolerance. A catalogue of these un-American things would take too much space, so it will suffice to mention the latest evolved from the K. K. K. controlled city. At the meeting of the city council Monday, by a vote of 14 to 8 a committee was appointed to prepare an ordinance prohibiting interracial worship of God. Under this proposed law white and colored people could not attend the same churches. A white person could not preach in a colored church. A white person could not preach in a colored Sunday school and even in the presence of death a white priest could not administer extreme unction to a colored human being. Atlanta wins in racial and religious Atlanta wins in racial and religious hatred. PLEASE GIVE ONE DOLLAR Fourteen hundred claims have been filed against the city and county for property burned during the riot—value of property burned nearly $5,000,000. Fifty colored men have been indicted. The city will not permit the people to rebuild their property unless they build bricks; therefore thousands are living in tents with winter fast approaching. About $4,000 has been raised by the Colored Citizens Relief Committee and N. A. A. C. P. If 8,000 colored men will give a dollar the cause will be saved. WONT YOU GIVE A DOLLAR TO HEEP THESE PEOPLE?
