Social Hygiene Board is Interdepartmental Body Which Has Become New and Powerful Force Now at Work Throughout the Nation—Bad Social Conditions, According to Physicians, Are Responsible for 1,500,000 Cases of Diseases Every Year. When a new chief of police was appointed recently in Washington the announcement went forth that gamblers, bookmakers, drug peddlers and other forms of underworld entertainment better took fresh fields for their game. Those forms of vice which exist in every city which has no strong civic consciousness were running wide in Washington. They were run very quietly, but the door was always open. With the announcement that the new chief of police would start a determined effort to clean up the capital city, a little known bureau of government stepped forward with a long list of places on which evidence had been obtained. Vice was rampant on the very doorsteps of the capitol building itself, showed a congressional investigation. A way to verify this report and find why this condition exists in defiance of the law. The quiet government bureau which had collected these facts goes by the name of the United States interdepartmental social hygiene board. The "interdepartmental" comes from the fact that the secretaries of war, the navy and the treasury are on the board, as are the surgeon generals of the army, navy and public health service. The active head of the board is a woman, Dr. Valeria H. Parker, who has had wide experience in social work. Before accepting the position as Uncle Sam's watcher over the young men in the nation's armed forces, Dr. Parker was chairman of the social hygiene committee of the National League of Women Voters and a member of the section of delinquency of the National Conference of Social Work. The government war on vice is organized through this bureau. The body actively charged with the duty of protecting the health of men in uniform, while they are in civilian communities. So well has the work been done that in one year it is estimated that over $1,000,000 was saved the government. This amount would have been spent in the hospitalization of infected men, had not the number of infections been greatly reduced. The cost of the work has been about $225,000. It is a paying proposition. Science Supplants Sentimentality The government's war on vice represents a new and powerful force at work throughout the nation today. Science, substituted for sentiment is giving the world a new sense of public safety. The scientific side of reforms and reformers is the view taken by the interdepartmental social hygiene board. Interested in the health of the nation, the scientific side of health and disease is being preached at every opportunity through public health meetings in every state, attended by medical men, public health officers and representatives of societies interested in the question of whether the question is being left to the churches, as falling properly within their province. The medical approach to the subject by the hygiene board is short and direct. "Science has proved that no way has been found to make vice safe. Therefore the only safe thing to do is to attack vice. This plan has a proven record and is an excellent example of 'the cheaper to prevent than cure' policy of modern medical practice." Just how heavy the vice toll becomes was gathered from the records of the public health service, which is working diligently on the problem as it affects civilians, while the social hygiene board handles the military end of the matter, Physicians of the service estimate that about 1,500,000 cases of diseases due solely to bad social conditions occur each year. From the medical standpoint this means great danger of passing on to the next generation a virulent bacillus so insoluble in its effect that few children live under the handicap and those who do are sickly and weak. From the national standpoint there is the danger of losing effective citizens. Vice Cost la Big. The social hygiene board places the cash cost of this social folly merely among the soldiers in the army during the war period at $72,000,000. In 1919 the cost in the army was placed at $15,000,000. The cost was cut in 1920 to about $5,500,000. It is about one-third less this last year, due to the more effective preventive work, previously mentioned. In civilian circles medical records are harder to obtain. The accurate record of records kept by the army and the available for civilian affairs. But the draft records show that in civilian life at least $54,000,000 a year is the wage loss alone, due to these social diseases. This is simply the amount lost due to the inability of people so afflicted to perform any useful work. The figure is based on a daily wage of only $4 and is probably low, as disease plays no favorites, but hits the classes of society, rich and poor alike. The American Social Hygiene society which has long conducted a war against this plague estimates that the complete cost of these Ills, largely preventable, is $188,000,000 in one state, Illinois, alone. Ohio's cost is placed by authorities at about $100,000,000. These figures include items such as doctor's fees, lost wages, expensive drugs needed for the cures, which are not met by the individual, then partial costs for maintaining hospitals for the insane and the blind, the cost of treating women who become infected through marriage and are forced to undergo complicated operations, much of which is met by the taxpayer, for much of this work is done at public expense, for the general protection of all. The old idea that segregated districts tended toward safety in vice has been exploded, it is claimed, as the disease rate among troops in America about one-third that of troops in foreign countries, where the open districts were to be operation. Vice cannot be abolished by haws, the board holds. Education along the proper lines of sex is central. The subject which has been hidden under blanket of assumed innocence must be exposed to the light of understanding. The cure will be brought about that way. Dr. Parker declared that boys are naturally just as clean-minded as girls. Yet boys, she holds, do not receive in the average home the same instruction on physical questions which come to the girls. The result is that boys are more minded at the critical age. But she also added that the whole subject does not receive the attention it needs as a primary one in life. The home, the church, the schools, all sidestep, she declared, and when sex becomes part of a boy's life he has had little influence and is generally allowed to drift upward as he can, exposed to the bad influence, too often, of commercialized vice. Predicts Tighter Laws. The laws in the United States, Dr. Parker believes, as they relate to this question, will become more stringent as time goes on. The United States is leading among the nations in taking action on this question. Regarding the enforcement of prohibition, it was thought that the question would gradually work itself out, when more people had paid the price of blindness or death from bootleg poison. But by stringent laws, it is not meant that the man would be darkened or that grandpa's pipe would be broken. The entrance of men into politics probably will lead to more effectual laws and heavier penalties for vice operators. The work of the board throughout the nation is carried on through nine district officials, each a field representative. These in turn are aided by field agents, located in cities near the army and navy posts. The field agents keep in touch with the medical officers of the armed forces and receive weekly reports as to how much or how little commercialized vice in the army is undermining the health of the men. The light district in one city resulted in cutting the disease rate from 199 to 27, which is cited as a "health example in disease prevention." The field agents keep in touch with the municipal, county and state health officials, police officers and other organizations. Thus, very accurate figures are obtainable on the commercialized vice question. The board's figures are also good indicators of the conditions which exist among the civilian population. Through these field officers the board is quickly able to place its hands on the vice situation in any part of the country. The results have been that seventy-seven districts have been closed, and that hundreds of cities have staged "cleanups" which will have an important effect on the future generations of Americans. BURIED IN POTATOES Wayfarer's Head Was Only Part Visible When Car Was Opened. Starving to death with nothing around him but food, a wayfarer who gave his name as John Smith of Virginia was found buried up to his neck in potatoes when the door of a freight car was opened by the employee of a fruit dealing company at Sunbury, Pa., one day recently. The man's arms were pinioned by the tubers and he could not move his head. Shifting of the load by the jolting of the car was the cause of his predicament, Smith said, and he asserted he had been helpless for three days. He was ravenous, but had no chance of even biting into a potato, so tightly was his head pinioned. The car came from Avoca, N. Y. PASTOR A STUDENT Haa Enrolled in High School and Goes There. One of the regularly enrolled pupils at the high school is Rev. D. C. Lockwood, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church at Eureka, Cal. Every day when the school gong rings Lockwood, books under his arm, tramps into the class room with the rest of the pupils and takes his seat. The preacher is not a "special" student, but is taking a full course, several of his subjects being English, drama, Spanish and glee club work. In addition, he says, he is taking another subject, "the psychology of the young idea." His work in this consist of studies of his classmates. MINNESOTA: HISTORICAL SOCIETY THE A ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, M THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1:22 GREAT BARGAINS TO BE HAD IN ODESSA SHOPS Persian Rugs Sell for $20 and Good Oil Paintings for $2 or $3. Odessa is, and will be for a few months, the paradise of the bargain hunter. A leather valise sold in Paris or London for $50 may be had here for $6. Persian rugs go begging at $15 to $20, rugs that in Persia would sell for $50, while the seller swore by his father's memory that he was robbing his family of daily bread. Paintings by good artists sell for $2 to $3, with a frame in width $10 to $15. Silver tableware sells for 5 to 10 pieces per piece. A foreign setting here for business reasons may rent a house for $50 a year, and possibly buy an indefinite lease on it for $200. The furniture, excepting the table dishes, may be had for another $200; but, if there are any repairs he must pay western European wages for labor. The reasons for these low prices of articles are that many of them were stolen, that there isn't much trade, and the original owners are selling off all their home treasures for food. To keep alive a family of five it takes 1,000,000 rubles, or $2 a day, and the prices of food jump as the ruble drops in value. In Moscow, too has been so brisk here as in Moscow, there are fewer strangers to buy. Fewer Russians can get into the city because the trains run only a few times a month, owing to lack of fuel. At that, shops are opening daily, as the new economic policy of the Moscow government is applied. Diamonds and objects of value are covertly shown to prospective purchasers in these shops, the dealers still being in fear of the old law against speculation and trade. The city is full of thousands of young men old who speak and write English, French and German, men, who in the old days of commerce, were employed about the port or with American and other foreign firms dealing with the interior. These men are glad to get work insuring $20 worth of food a month.

With prize money earned at calf and chicken exhibits and on the sale of cockerel, Bernard Allan of Tomahawk, Wis., member of poultry and calf clubs, for oats and hay for his purered Holstein calf throughout last winter and until pasturing time, May 1, and with money since earned he is going to try to pay part of his calf note, as well as feed for his poultry. The boy is attached to his Barred Rock birds. "They make good sitting hens and good mothers, which helps a lot in the busy summer months when you can put five or six clucks and chicks together," he said. "Best of all, they are good winter layers when eggs are high-priced. My hens haven't stopped laying even in moulting time. They always lay enough to pay for their feed and a good margin." Breaks Her Rib Laughing. Mrs. John Miner of Fostoria, O., laughed for two minutes at a funny story. While doing so she felt peculiar pain in her right side. Then she increased and a doctor was called, who found that she had broken a rib from the exertion of laughing. Defective Page APH NNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATU REVIVES WAR ON GUILLOTINE Landru Execution Cause of Renewed Agitation in France. Abolition of Capital Punishment or That Guillotining Take Place in Private, Is Being Demanded—Man Whose Name It Beats Had Nothing to Do With the Construction of the Sinister Machine—Claimed Many Victims During the Revolution. Through the publicity given to the Landru execution, notice has again been attracted to the guillotine, and the Socialist papers, of which there are a number in Paris, are demanding abolition of capital punishment or that guillotinings take place in the privacy of prison. In fact the public is not admitted to executions, except when there is laxity on the part of the local officials, the publicity being due to the presence of reporters. It is urged that reporters would be attent to attend such functions, as the public would accept as accurate any prison governor's announcement that a man had been guillotined without assurance by newspaper men. Operates 130 Years. In a few weeks the gullotine will have operated for 130 years in France. Before the Revolution, condemned persons were, put to death in various ways. In some cases bones were broken by blows from an iron bar. Others were made to die in agony on the wheel. Many nobles were decapitated with the sword. The majority, however, were hanged. In 1790, a humanitarian, Doctor Gullotin, procured the issuance of a decree that a criminal should be decapitated by a simple machine with a knife, "which should fall like the thunder." Actually, Gullotin, who was a professor of anatomy in the Paris School of Medicine, had nothing to do with the construction of the sinister machine, and he died of chagrin because his name was given to it. A German harpsichord maker named Schmidt built the first gullotin under the direction of Doctor Louis, the curate of the Academy of Surgery. Louis XVIII provided himself on his skin as a loophole in his knowledge of mechanics, is said to have advised the adoption of the triangular form of knife instead of the scythe形 form of the original design. This story of the king, who was subsequently to lose his head on the gullotine, is discredited in many quarters, although it appears in the "Memoirs" of Samson, one of the great hangmen. Crowds in First To the first guillotining, which took place in 1792 on the Place de Greve, the people of Paris thronged in crowds. At the swift end of Nicholas Pelletier, a footpad who had robbed and stabbed to death a traveler, they clapped their hands with satisfaction. After that the guillotine was kept busy. From August, 1792, to July, 1794, 2,632 persons were beheaded, in inclusion of women. In recent years the amount of guillotining has largely depended on the personal views of the President of the moment. Thirty years ago President Carnot executed everybody who had been sentenced to death. Then President Fallières went to the other extreme, being opposed to guillotining anybody. This led to an outcry, in consequence of which criminals guilty of particularly brutal murders escaped the penalty. From 1912 the death machine has worked with regularity. But there has always been a latent anxiety and the Landru case has brought to the cry for abolition of the instrument there is a demand for certitude that a man is guilty before being beheaded, and in Landru's case certitude was not established. WELL-TRAINED DOG Would Not Give Up Postal Missive on Which 10 Cents Was Due. A story offered by Charles W. Jefferson, postmaster of Federalburg, Va. is vouchered for by Sewell Noble and concerns the sagacity of the former's pet terrier Rex. Jefferson has trained the animal so that if some one across the street from the postoffice calls for his mail he places it in the dog's mouth, points to the recipient and the dog trots over to deliver it. Not long ago Noble availed himself of the "free" delivery being across the street, and Rex ambled over with one letter in his teeth, but instead of giving it to the owner as usual he backed off and growled when Noble tried to take the missive. Puzzled, the postmaster went across to the recalcitrant dog, only to find that, without noticing it, he had given the terrier a special delivery letter on which was due 10 cents. On Noble's throwing a dime on the sidewalk, Rex promptly yielded the letter as his master retrieved the fee. Radio Concerts on N. V. Tugboats.

Electricity has conquered one-third of the entire cultivated area of Sweden, according to the latest official reports. If Sweden continues electrifying at the present rate, it will only be a few years till almost the whole country will be run by electricity. Most of the farms within the electrical area are now tapping the new source of energy, and nearly all the power used in the daily labor on these farms is derived from the high-power lines which span whole sections of the country. Large power stations deliver most of the electric energy used in the rural communities; but in many places the farmers themselves have installed turbines and built private power stations, harnessing for this purpose swift streams and small waterfalls on their own properties. Those enterprises, however, are generally co-operative. A great deal of the most ardent farmers themselves have driven machinery at a cost far below the cost of machines propelled by steam or horsepower, or of hand labor. Water is pumped for cattle by electricity, threshing machines are driven by electric current, timber is sawed by motor power, and farm hands are no longer ordered to cut firewood by hand because it is cheaper to have even that labor done by electricity. Candles have almost disappeared. In many cases grain is dried and cleaned by being passed through electric driven hot-air fanning machines, which are used to pump the larger estates electric elevators which lift entire wagon loads of hay or grain and dump them where desired in the barns. One Swedish estate owner has installed an electrically operated irrigation system whereby a large field can be watered in times of drought. It is made of a short time till dillows and harrows will be propelled by electric power. TERNATIONAL. The duchess of Portland, known to be the youngest appearing woman for her age in England, attributes her well preserved being to a strict vegetarian diet. She was, before her marriage, Winifred Dallas-Yorke, daughter of a prominent London sportsman. She married the duke of Portland in 1889 after a whirlwind courtship. AX FOR FOREST GIANTS Three Huge Oak Trees Had to Give Way to Business Rush. Three oak trees, estimated to be more than 200 years old, have beed cut down in the business district of Valparalso, Ind., to make way for a new business building. The three trees are fully 75 feet tall and three feet through at the base. It is estimated the trees contain 18 cords of wood and fence posts. Many years ago hundreds of these giants of the forest stood on the present site of the city, but they have given way to the progress of civilization. At the Court House square, in the center of the business district, four of the trees remain. Villa Asks More Land for His Ranch. An extension to his 200,000-acre farm near Torreon, Mexico, has been asked by Francisco Villa, former rebel chiefain, in a petition to the government. Villa has about 500 employees and says his land is not extensive enough. Villa and his men are ready to fight for Mexico, he says in the petition. False Teeth in Stomach. Carl Brand, city marshal of Anthony, Kan., is the champion "ostrich" of the state. He swallowed his set of false teeth recently and did not realize it for many years. He has returned from the hospital, where he had the teeth removed from his stomach. In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. EXTEND AIR ROUTES All Nations Making Effort to Develop Civil Aviation. British Observer Says 1922 Appeara to Be Crucial Year in the Extension of Commercial Airways—Air Travel Popular. London—All countries are making great efforts to extend their commercial airways this year, writes M.J. W. T. Blake, the aeronautical correspondent of the Daily News. Indeed, 1922 appears the crucial year for civil aviation. In addition to new air service in England from London to Manchester and from London to Ireland, two new companies have been approved by the ministry to operate continental services. Of these Daimler Hire, Ltd., will operate between London and Paris with possible extension to Switzerland, while between London and Brussels the Aerion Routes syndicate, Ltd., proposes to operate. The Instone Air line and Handley Page Transport will continue their services to Paris, whilst one or the other will probably start operations on the Dutch route. France, in addition to maintaining her present services to London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Czechoslovakia, Warsaw, Morocco, etc., has arranged to open up the route from Frague to Constantinople via Budapest and Bucharest. This will be a branch of the Paris-Warsaw service, the junction being Frague. A second route to Constantinople also will be opened up by the company, at present open to the service from Bordeaux-Toulouse, Montpellier. This service will be definitely extended to Marsellies and Genoa, and will continue to Constantinople if circumstances warrant a further extension. Denmark has recently sent a mission to Germany with a view to investigating the possibilities of purchasing large passenger-carrying machines for the opening up of various Scandinavian routes. Portugal—which so far has displayed little practical interest in commercial flying—is opening up a service from Lisbon to Paris via Valladolid and Bordeaux. The capital of this company is two million euros, at the annual rate of exchange about $375,000. This company, of course, bring London into direct serial communication with Lisbon. Other Postal communications contemplated are from Lisbon to Oporto; from Lisbon to Madrid; from Lisbon to Faro. Additional links in the European system which are being opened up by various companies will enable the aerial traveler to proceed from London to Algeria via Paris and Marseilles and from London to Morocco via Paris, Toulouse and Barcelona. The new Portuguese route will give a direct service between London and Lisbon and the new French service will give a direct route from London to Constantinople. England is already linked up by air with Brussels, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Berlin, so that there are now very few European capitals which cannot be reached by regular air services in, at the outside, two days' air travel. TEST EYES OF MILLION KIDS Vision of All Pupils in New York Public School One Day by Physicians. New York.—Nearly 1,000,000 boys and girls of New York's public schools had their eyes tested in one day recently. It was health day in the schools, and the Eyesight Conservation Council of America cooperated with the school authorities in arranging the wholesale eye testing, and distributed 50,000 copies of a pamphlet on the care of the eyes. Teachers in the schools will cooperate in the examinations for defects of vision. Ears, teeth, nutrition and nasal breathing will also be tested. Goes Too Far for Death Data, New York.—Seeking data for his book, "The Hereafter," Thomas W. Wegelius of Brooklyn, a twenty-three-year-old chemist, swallowed what he thought was just enough anaesthetic to take him to death's portals. The book will never be finished for young Wegelius miscalculated the dose and the portals swung wide for him. Renton, Wash.—Residents of Cedar Falls, a mountain town forty miles from Puget sound, were terrorized recently when the entire place moved eleven feet toward Cedar Lake. Should the slide continue it will mean the loss of all property and the abandonment of the town site. It has been found that the clay formation upon which the foundations are erected lies in a slanting rock strata of extreme smoothness. There is really nothing but the weight of the clay subsol to keep it balanced. The winter's deep frost and a supposed earthquake shock may have been cause of the earthship. As every section of the town extends the same section and space the only damage was a few broken window lights. $2.40 PER YEAR WHAT WAR DID TO VLADIVOSTOK Development of Russian City Is Checked by Great Conflict. CITY OF EXTREME CONTRASTS Terminal City of Longest Railroad in the World, Place Where East Literately Meets West—Was on the Way to Rival San Francisco in Population and Beauty—Living Is Extremely Dear and Human Life Is Held Very Cheap. "On the eight-day trip from Moscow she had told fellow passengers on the trans-Siberian railway, of an Englishman who was disappointed because he spent ten days in New York and had not seen an Indian. "Just more alighting at the terminal city of Moscow, longest railroad in the world she required, so much danger from wolves that Vladivostok? "Not only is there much danger of meeting a wolf in Vladivostok as there would be of encountering a mountain lion in San Francisco; but there are other likenesses between these port cities, especially if the Vladivostok of just before the war be compared with the San Francisco of its earlier, Barbary Coast days" according to a bulletin from Washington (D. C.) headquarters of the National Geographic society. Compared to San Francisco lived in San Francisco. "The city of the Golden Horn is younger than the city of the Golden Gate, having been founded in 1800. Had its normal development not been interrupted by the war, its hinterland beset by Soviet forces, unsettled by rapid changes of government and now reported to be left without any because of the attack Chita troops, Vladivostok might soon have rivaled our own coast city in population and beauty. "Living is extremely dear," said the Baedeker of 1912; and the Vladivostok of 1922 it might be said with equal truth that human life is very cheap. The city warranted a Bret Harte's attention for its bizarre and colorful atmosphere during war times, and made up its transportation people who made up its transportation outdid any earlier experiences of our own frontier towns. Normally it has fewer than 50,000 people; by 1018 its residents numbered nearly 200,000. The influax was made up of human competes between typhus victims and American millionaires. "Even in ordinary Vladivostok is a city of extreme contrasts, as might be expected of a place where Chlman and Russian compete, where East literally meets West. Alighting at the European-looking station, from one of the most luxurious trains of any continent (1918 was the last year you could have done that) you saw trailers, junikships, Russians, Japanese, Chinese and Koreans predominated, with many Europeans, occasional Americans and Africans. "A tongue of hilly land thrust out into a land-locked bay constitutes the site of 'The Mistress of the East.' The architecture maintains the European note struck by the station; which makes the presence of Oriental people, conveyances and customs all the more exotic. You no sooner accustomed yourself to the dreary routine of bazaar buying, nourishing lotteries, and Babel of tongues than you encountered the more familiar telegraph office, motion picture theater, museum, and a European racing car, under an American electric light, and run plump into a coole burden bearer despite the warning cries of a Russian policeman. "Breaks All Civic Rules." "Small wonder living was extremely dear in the old days and is an acute problem now, since the city subsisted formerly on supplies from China and Japan, Europe and even America. Its growth seems due to some inexplicable exception that proves the rule that a city, to succeed, should be self-sustaining, interchange products with the country around it, be thrifty, cultivate civic consciousness, well be governed, and possess some racial, cultural, or religious identity, to the fact that it was the most nearly ice-free port of Siberia, by which virtue it became the terminus of the trans-Siberian railway, and to the military and naval establishments maintained by the government of the czar. "Now its patron government has disappeared, its railway has been cut into units by the national entities along its course, and Bolshevism looms as an economic as well as a passenger barrier along the far-flung rail ribbon that once extended some 7,000 miles to Calais. "In the way of exports, in its palest days, it had nothing more important to give the world than sea-cabbage, trepang and a fungus gathered from decayed wood, for all of which China was its principal customer. Trepang is the dried body of the holothurian, more commonly known as the eel, that comes to the curiosity that the palate of the occidental. For this small-like creature can throw off, when frightened, its vital organs—digestive, respiratory and reproductive—and replace them all within a few weeks. Nature here seems to hold that two can live more easily, if not more cheaply, than one. When the sea slug becomes too hungry for comfort it divides in two parts and each, developing rapidly into complete units, goes on a search for food."

Bible Thought for Today HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST:— Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.—Philippians 2:5, 3. IT MUST NOT BE The proposition to establish a playground for COLORED children in St. Paul is un-American and THE AP-EAL is opposed to it. One of the strange phases of jim-crowism in these days in the fact that nine-tenths of the plans to degrade the colored people into a pariah class are conceived in the brains of people who call themselves Christians. In the majority of cases when the colored man is kicked down it is done "for his benefit" and "in the name of the Lord." No doubt some of the promoters believe that they are doing a great thing for the colored people of Saint Paul but they are mistaken. No greater evil could come to Saint Paul, to the white people as well as the colored people, than the attempt to segregate one group of citizens. It is a thing which will serve to inflame the fires of race prejudice. It is inconceivable that any colored people could so belittle themselves as to be parties to so infamous a scheme and it is infamous whether it is so intended or not. We are glad to know that the superintendent of playgrounds opposes the plan. The decent self-respecting people of Saint Paul must fight the nefarious scheme to a finish. If you are a good American you should oppose it. IT MUST NOT BE! A BLACK YEAR FOR COLORED PEOPLE. The first year of the Harding administration has been a distinct disappointment to right-minded, clear-thinging, far-sighted Christian Americans, especially the colored people who have been placed by fate under the rule of the U. S. A.. The Filipinos, a colored race, have been denied the freedom which was solemnly promised them more than twenty years ago. In 1921 there was a farcical "investigation" of conditions, by the man who had been picked to rule the islands and whose policy had evidently been decided upon be- fore the results of the "investigation" had been received in the U. S. A. A man with bitter racial prejudices has been sent to govern the Porto Ricans, the majority of whom are colored people, who are anxious to get from under the American yoke. Santo Domingo wishes to be free from jimcrow rule but the present American regime hangs on without rhyme or reason. The man sent to "investigate" and rule Haiti, is the very man who was the ruler when the alleged outrages took place. The Haitians are nearly all black people and Catholics in religion. Not satisfied with the "pacification" outrages, the oppressors have added insult to injury, by forcing jimcrowism into the Catholic churches where separate masses are now celebrated for colored and white people. That is one of the sacrileges of the rule in Haiti of the U. S. A. The Harding administration has failed to recognize Mexico, although the conditions are now stable and there is not as much lawlessness in the whole republic as there is in the city of Chicago in the U. S. A. The population of Mexico is approximately 70 per cent Indian; 25 per cent mixed white Indian and Negro and not more than 5 per cent pure Caucasian. When the President was a candidate he addressed a large delegation of colored people and said, "Fellow Americans, fear not, America will not fail you." Coolidge, the candidate, handed out scme very touching phrases couche-l in the purest Bostonese, in which he made a plea for more rights for the colored people. Elder Will H. Hays and his assistants, including the "jimcrow" campaign bureau under Lincoln Johnson and Perry Howard assured the people that the election of the Republican ticket would make this country practically a territorial paradise. It was not long after March 4, 1921, that it became evident that a policy of segregation was being formulated for Americans of darker hue. Practically all of the jimcrowism of the Wilson regime have been continued and many new wrinkles have been added. The speeches of President Harding in the South last fall, in which he practically read the colored people out of the Republican party and in effect endeavored to relegate them to an inferior status in the social order were a veritable curse upon a group of loyal citizens. The administration has invaded the states in which the colored had an actual part in the party organizations and has practically decreed that they must "fall in behind the white man," or get out. The administration started a K. K. K. investigation which was suddenly called off without any reason for the action being given. A few jimcrow offices have been thrown out like bones to a horde of hungry dogs and a few jimcrow colored men have been base enough to accept them. Mates, it has been a dark year for the dark peoples. The writer has been an active Republican for more than fifty years and still believes in the principles laid down by Lincoln, Grant, McKinley and Roosevelt, and it is with regret that we are compelled to note that the present national administration has strayed from the G. O. P. landmarks. The U. S. Senate is being told of the horrible atrocities committed by Gen. Gregorio Semenoff, ataman of the Russian Cossack. It is a terrible recital and the grave and reverend senators are horrified, as the fearful things were done 6,000 miles away by people who are considered not more than half civilized. Worse atrocities were committed (according to the testimony before the Senate investigating committee), by U. S. marines in Haiti, and the details scarcely caused a ripple of excitement. Haiti is so much nearer, it has been gobbled by the U. S. A. and the marines are "our boys." It makes a big difference whose ox is gored. We are glad to learn that the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of William Monroe Trotter was a great success and that a large purse was collected. Among the contributors were: Moorfield Storey, president of the N. A. A. C. C.; Senator Lodge and other prominent citizens. Trotter is a great man because he has not compromised on the vital and fundamental questions of American citizenship and that's what nineteenth of the lickspittle leaders have done. Long live Trotter. The press cables tell us that one Louis Borno, a conservative and a member of the present cabinet, has been ELECTED PRESIDENT OF HAITI BY UNANIMOUS VOTE. The intelligent people of Haiti do not wish the present lickspitous crowd of Haitians to continue in alleged power so there must be something wrong with the election. Perhaps the military rules from the U. S. A. could a tale unfold. The papers tell us that the President is very much interested in and is working hard for the passage of the ship subsidy bill which will cost the American people many millions of dollars and if beneficial will only produce $$$$$. The same President seems to be very indifferent to the passage of the Dyed anti-lynching bill which is necessary to safeguard civilization in the U. S. The Daughters of 1912 are very indignant because the histories used in the schools teach that the founders of the nation were rag-time, smugglers and a disgruntled lot generally. Many of the first families of the South are direct descendants of criminals and indentured servants sent over from England and there is also a large percentage of African blood. Minnesota will give back all captured Confederate battle flags held by organizations and individuals in the state. The commander says the action is "to prove friendship to Dixie." And as the friendship for Dixie increases, the hatred of the colored man increases. Think it over. "Jazz" music has been introduced into hospitals at Washington; D. C. During operations lively strains of canned music are "fed" to patients. It is thought to have two effects: one to lull the sub-concious mind of the patient and the other to accelerate the actions of the attendants. William Jennings Bryan's recent attack on the theory of evolution causes the Reverend George Craig Stewart to cry out: "Mr. Bryan is a conspicuous example of the man who thinks he is thinking, but who is only rearranging his prejudices. Few men really think. The U. S. Senate has passed by viva voce the House resolution extending for two years the present law restricting immigration to the United States to three per cent of the number of foreign nationals in this country. An anti-Christian movement is spreading rapidly in China. The Chinese are unable to grasp the idea of a religion which teaches the brotherhood of man yet permits the white races to trample the colored races under foot.

THE DREAM OF GOD, Part 1. El Reb The feast of Rizwan, Saturday, April 22, will usher in the Bahai congress and the fourteenth annual convention of the Bahai Temple Unity. The ceremony will be held at the Auditorium hotel banquet hall, where further sessions of the congress also will be held Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Bahai pilgrims recently returned from Haifa, Palestine, will present the plan of Shogi Efendi, the new guardian of the Bahai cause for the world-wide spread of the prophet's teachings. These talks will be followed by a series of lectures on the universal Bahai principles for world reconstruction and religious regeneration. The teachings of Bahai 'Ullah and of Abdul Baha for the establishment of universalism among nations, races and religions will be outlined. Among the subordinates to be discussed are "Palestine in the Battle of Construction." "Springtime and the Owner of Mankind" "The Ascension of Abdul Baha" and "Bahaisism, the Universal Religion of the Future." In commemoration of the anniversary the Bahaists have issued a new poem by Albert Durrant Watson, the Canadian poet, entitled "The Dream of God," and setting forth the dramatic religious epoch of the Persian prophet, Abdul Baha, who at the time of his death in 1921 had millions of followers both in the Eastern and in the Western world. U. S. VETERANS' BUREAU U. S. VETERANS' BUREAU DISTRICT NO. 10 Transfer from Washington to the District Office of the Veterans' Bureau in Minneapolis of control over nine thousand cases of police men receiving or seeking training or compensation, was announced by C. D. Hibbard, District Manager. Completion of the case transfer from Washington is characterized as the biggest single step yet taken toward carrying out the provisions of the Sweet bill, which declared that the functions centered in Washington should be decentralized to the District Offices with full power to act on them. The nine thousand cases which complete control was transferred to Minneapolis were received about ten days ago and the work of consolidating and putting the last of them into shape for full functioning in Minneapolis has been finished. Another shipment of twenty thousand and disallowed claims soon will be forwarded to the Minneapolis Office, which, although temporarily inactive can be reopened by the men at any time upon his representing that cause of compensation or training has arisen, the case was disallowed. The changes effected make possible Settling back claims for compensation without reference to Washington, and immediate payment of amount due.

Secretary: Hughes Defends Liberian Loan as a Point of Honor. Washington, April—Urgent extension of a $5,000,000 loan to Liberia, promised in 1918, as a "point of honor."

SUDHEIMER Candidate for COUNCILMAN Has Necessary Qualifications Excellent Public Record Born and Reared in St. Paul LAST REGISTRATION DAY SATURDAY APRIL 22. The last registration or the city election to be held May 2nd is scheduled for Saturday, April 22nd, when the polls will be opened between the usual hours of 6 A. M. and 9 P. M. An intensive drive is now going forward to secure as full a registration as possible. At the first two registration days a total of 51,810 voters qualified to cast ballots at the city election. It is estimated that the average between 90,000 and 100,000 qualified voters in St. Paul, and every effort is being made to bring out at least 15,000 more to April 22nd. This will give a total of 100,000 registered and would mean a vote of between 55,000 and 60,000, allowing for the usual shrinkage. In view of the issues that are now developing it is imperative that all citizens interested in economical and efficient city government who have registered go to the polls between the hours o 6 A. M. and 9 P. M. and register. PAID ADVERTISEMENT Crepeau, 203 Front St., St. Paul, by R. V. Curtis, 902 Tuscorora Ave., for Prepared and issued for Henry J. which $1.00 per inch is to be paid. MR.

MITCHELL St. Paul Detective Captures a Crook After a Hard Struggle. After a twenty-minute hand-to-hand battle in the basement of a barber shop at 236 West Seventh street, Goldie Dixon, colored, was arrested Tuesday by Detective Mitchell Dixon is charged with burglary. When Mitchell appeared at the barber shop, where Dixon is employed, Dixon sized a mop stick and started for the detective. You'll have to kill me before you take me" Dixon shouted, as he grappled with the officer. The two mopsticks and rolled down a pair of stairs into the basement. Witnesses declared the pain fought for twenty minutes. At the end of that time, just before other policemen arrived, Mitchell subdued his assailant and made him prisoner. Dixon is charged with having robbed the home of James Saunders, 287 West Seventh street about two months ago. Police assert that $200 worth of clothing belonging to Saunders was found in Dixon's room. CRAZY COLORED MAN KNIFES TWO Stabs Rescuers of Women He Had Tried to Kill. Charles King, who killed two men as they went to the rescue of a woman he threatened to kill, was being hunted today by Minneapolis police. The man, apparently crazed by drugs, attacked A. H. Golden, 901 Fourth avenue north, Minneapolis, in his store Friday night. Mrs. Golden screamed and ran from the store with the man in pursuit. Her outcries attracted the attention of James Dunn and Frank Kramer. Mrs. Golden, with the man in pursuit, returned to the store and the two men folowed at their heels. Inside the store the two men grappled with the assailant and knocked him through a plate glass window. King drew a large knife and climbing back through the hole in the glass, began a vicious attack on the two men. Dunn was cut about the arms and wrists and was rendered practically helpless. Kramer was cut about the chest and legs. King lifted Dunn, threw him across a counter, and ran from the store. CARRY ON CLUB CARRY ON CLUB An old fashioned political rally, which officially opened the campaign and which will conclude with the city election May 2nd, was held by the officers of the Carry-On club at the Ryan hotel, Tuesday, April 18, at 8 P.M. Candidates who have been endorsed by the Club were the guests of honor, and all made addresses which bespoke their confidence in the outcome of the election. Judge C. D. O'Brien and Carl W. Cummins were among the other speakers. Special emphasis was laid upon the importance of getting out a big registration Saturday. April 22nd. The official ruling of City Clerk John Faricy is that no votes can be sworn in May 2nd, which makes it necessary for those who wish to vote and who have not already registered to take advantage of the last day. On the last two registrations in March, 51,810 voters qualified. On primary day, 2,102 additional swore in their votes, making a total registration to date of 53,912. It is estimated that there are approximately 40,000 voters unregistered, and work will be concentrated on those in the next few days. As one candidate expressed it: "The average voter in a presidential campaign thinks in terms of the president; in a state campaign he thinks in terms of the governor; in a city campaign he thinks in terms of the mayor. "It it so happens that the candidacy of Arthur E. Nelson has caused the voters no concern. Mr. Nelson is a sure winner, but this fact should not be allowed to keep voters away from the polls on May 2nd, when their possible vote should be utilized in electing the men who are best qualified to sit on the City Council, the Bench and to perform the duties of City Comptroller." Radical labor has made it known that it aspires to hold four seats in the Council, and to acquire control of the Comptroller's office as a consequence. Radical labor would guide the many city service appropriations and all city funds. Conservative candidates are calling attention to the danger of such a situation.

Hammond Women Hope To Bar Jack Johnson Show Hammond, Ind., April·20.—Jack Johnson and his white burlesque show, billed to appear at a theater here Friday and Saturday, will be barred from town, if Hammond club-women have their way. The proposed showing was attacked as a stigma to the city and an insult to the intelligence of the people in resolutions passed at a mass meeting of representatives of all women's organizations. Unless the theater management cancels the engagement, they will take legal steps to halt the show, the women declare. Just a case of race prejudice. ST. PAUL UNI GENERAL SA OFFIC CYRUS L.

FOR THE MAN The Flor PAID ADVERTISEMENT Prepared by J. Q. Adams, 24 E. Fourth street, St. Paul, in behalf of the candidate here named, for which $1.00 per inch is to be paid. JESSE FOOT Candidate for Re-election as COMPTROLLER I am respectfully asking the public for its support to reelect me to the important office of City Comptroller for the following reasons: 1. My Cash Basis plan which I worked and fought for practically single handed consistently and persistently for five years and which was finally completed and put in operation, will save the taxpayers millions of dollars. This, I feel, should assure me the support of every rear-minded citizen. 2. I put into operation a plan whereby the City discounts its bills; again saving thousands of dollars. 3. I have not permitted the expenditure of public funds, or raising of additional funds, except in accordance with the strict interpretation of the Charter, again saving hundreds of thousands of dollars. 4. I am responsible for putting into effect the time check system, which makes it possible for every city employee to receive his wages or a part of them at any time, thereby removing the necessity for him to assign any of his wages to loan sharks. 5. As Civil Service Commissioner I have stood firm for the fair and impartial conduct of our civil service system. While there are many more things that have been done under my direction as City Comptroller, and from which the city will reap great benefits, I feel that the above mentioned facts should be sufficient to insure my re-election. THE TICKET For United States Senator—Frank B. Kellogg. For Governor—J. A. O. Preus. For Lieutenant Governor—Louis L. Collins. For Secretary of State—Mike Holm. For State Auditor—Ray P. Chase.

LOOKING FORWARD The New-Way Home Builders have opened their office in the Kasota building, Minneapolis, Minn., and with the intention of serving the public in common. And we also hope to serve our clients with a high and unparallel degree of economical efficiency. The president is writing this article that the world may know what position he takes upon all matters racial and economical. It is true that the management of the New-Way Home Builders is being severely criticised both pro and con. But it is hoped that the people of Minnesota will only display intelligence enough to give a man a chance. And instead of wearing out the telephone knocking and fault-finding and not having your husband's dinner ready when he comes from work, speak a good word when you have an occasion to; it will probably help put the New-Way Home Builders in a position to do much good for their people in common. It is true that the president of the New-Way Home Builders concedes that it is only human and natural for those who have invested five hundred or a thousand dollars to carry on the firm's business, to comment upon its management either pro or con. The president himself admits that he is not wholly satisfied that the circumstances of all matters pertaining to the firm. But he, like all other fair-minded and conservative business men, is only yielding to the dictates of business economics. MARTIN BROWN.
