Higginbotham, convict camp whipping boss, charged with murder in connection with the death of Martin Tabert of North Dakota. The selection of the jury was completed today. Requires Ten Hours It required almost ten hours to obtain the jury. The last man entered the box at 5 P. M. today after an all day session of court. There were only seven more eveniremen left out of a panel of 84 when the last selection was made. The jury was ordered locked up for the night and court took a recess until 9 A. M. Wednesday. Cousin M. the immediately held a consultation with their witnesses and early tonight it was not announced what phase of the flogging case would be taken up first. Majority Have Opinions Reading newspaper stories, based on evidence introduced before a joint legislative inquiry into the death of Tabert at the county lease camp of the Putnam Lumber company at Clara, Fla., where Higgenbotham was employed as a whipping boss, caused disqualification of many of the prospective jurors. The majority of those disqualified told the court they had fixed opinions as to the innocence or guilt of the defendant. LIGHTNING STRIKES A. M. E. PARSONAGE Pastor and Family Forced Out by Smoke Early Monday Morning Lightning struck the residence of Rev. H. L. P. Jones, 435 Jay street early Monday morning, but caused little damage aside from a little fire in the coal bin. The house was only one of the pieces of property damaged by the severe storm which swept over the Northwest states Sunday night, killing eight persons in Minnesota alone. Calls from neighbors and the smell of smoke awoke the pastor and his family about 2:30 a. m. Firemen arrived quickly and extinguished the blaze before it had time to do more than scorch the side of the coal bin in the basement. The passerby claims that lightning struck some of the powered wires several blasts above the parsonage and jumped to the house whose upper back porch is right under the wires on the alley. J All-Race Sanhedrin Date Nov. 5, 1923 (Crusader Service) Washington, D. C., June 28—Prof. Kelly Miller chairman of the Committee for the Improvement appointed by the "United Front" conference, formed by the civil rights bodies signatory to the "Concordat," announced last night on his return from New York that the committee, which has been holding its sessions in this city has decided upon the week of November 5, 1923, for the holding of the All-Race Assembly and that the "United Front" Conference which held its third assembly in New York on Saturday evening, had approved the choice of date. The All-Race Assembly will meet is still undetermined, but, according to Prof. Miller, the following three cities are being considered: Louisville, Chicago and Indianapolis. RETRIAL OBTAINED FOR TEXAS PRISONER New York, June 28—The Houston (Texas) branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People reports that the state court of criminal appeals has reversed a lower court, which had sentenced Luther Collins to be hanged on a charge of rape. The higher court has ruled that new evidence should be admitted at the retrial which occurs in September. The Houston branch, which has spent about $1,200 in defense of the man, hopes that he can be proved to have been absolutely innocent of the crime he was charged with. Morons And Bullies Responsible For Dixie Disorders, Says Mencken Ku Klux Klan Chief Product of Poor White Culture Which Rules South, Writer Asserts; Ignorance Making Last Stand Against Progressiveness In the labor troubles which now afflict the South, paralyzing production on the farms and even hampering industry in the towns, there appears to be, at least on the surface a grim, sardonic retribution. For a generation past the red-blooded Anglo-Saxon he-men of the region have been devoting themselves heroically to torturing and murdering their black fellow-citizens—pursuing them with dogs, gelding them without anesthetics, stringing them upon trees and telegraph poles, and roasting them alive over slow fires. Now at last the distracted Moors having got and saved some share of the boot of the war, lay it out upon tickets to the North, where the worst they have to fear is an occasional beating by the police. Every train crossing the Ohio and Potomac river bridges is black with them. They swarm like ants in the slums of the Northern cities and thousands are absorbed by the mines and steel mills of the Back country. Entrepreneurs, urban and rural, are unable to find other slaves to take their places. High wages alone, it appears, cannot attract labor, nor even free rations of the术 and watermelons. What the modern serf demands, first of all, is security in his person and domicile, and this is precisely what the South cannot offer. Against every possibility of luring foreign labor into the region there stands the massive fact of the Ku Klux Klan. The laborious wops have heard of it, the bohunks have heard of it, and so have all the other brachyephaleous victims of the Nordic blond renaissance. These new-comers to the Republic, as every student of 100 per cent literature is well aware, are but little removed in intellect from the hairy primates; nevertheless they are still sagacious enough to keep out of the South. So the cotton fields become weed-grown, the wild beasts of the hill come down to devour the corn, and mortgages began to plaster the old plantation. It is a spectacle, as I hint, that is not devoid of a certain low, bitter humor. To behold the Babbits of such states as Mississippi in public meeting assembled, trying to woo back the departing Ethiopians with polite and even pleading words—surely this is enough to wring a snicker from a melancholic. But the fun I believe, is all on the surface. Underneath there is a very serious situation, and it deserves to be treated with decent gravity. The problem before the South is not the simple one of holding its field-hands to their jobs. It is the far more complex and vexatious one of delivering the whole area from the domination of the ignorant and degraded white men who have run it and rowed it since the Civil War. Once these cads are upset the labor problem will solve itself, in so far as it can be solved in Christendom, and even the larger race problem will be on the way to solution. But as long as their similar ideas prevail, as they do today, nothing genuinely describable as civilization can maintain itself south of Ivrginia. There are, in fact, two Souths, and the future of the whole region depends upon which one prevails. There is, first, the South of the old gentry; urbane, educated, civilized, tolerant. There is, second, the South of the former poor, white trash; uncouth ignorant, barbarous, bullying. It is this second South that has been on top since reconstruction days, and of its ascendancy has flowed nineteenth of the difficulties, political and social, that have beset the Southern people. It has steadily brought down Southern politics to the level of spoils and demagoguery; it has made a pathetic buffoonery of education; it has corroded and inflamed more differences; it has corrupted and degraded Southern journalism; it has reduced Southern Christianity to a burlesque and an obscenity. This is the South of the Ku Klux Klan, of the Billy Sunday revival, of complete aesthetic and ideational sterility, of burnings and lynchings of Blease- and Vardaman, of Prohibition and Jew-baiting, of anti-Darwinism and free silver. This is the South, alas, that Northerners usually think of when they think of the South at all. III But there is the other South also, the South of an older tradition, and today, despite its long submergence, it shows innumerable signs of reviving. It was paralyzed by the Civil Turner J. Starks was freed of the contempt charge brought by white residents to prevent him from erecting a barber shop on St. Clair street. Construction work is halted, however, until the case can be heard before the Supreme Court in the fall term. Residents have filed an appeal bond of $3,000 to cover any damages incurred by Starks because of the delay. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY. JUNE 30, 1923 War, but it was by no means destroyed. Good blood remained, despite that colossal bloodletting, and now, after many years, it is beginning to show itself. I sometimes think, indeed, that the setting up of the Ku Klux Klan, that supreme fruit of poor white culture; was an extremely good job for Southern progress. The Klan provided a vivid and inescapable sign of what was going on among the emerged Chandala; it made the dangers ahead too plain to be degraded; it aroused in every civilized Southerner a new determination to save the South from utter chaos and imbecility. That new determination is now visible in many forms. It appears, at one extreme, in a general aesthetic revival—an heroic effort to lift the South out of its depressing provincialism and puerility in the fine arts. It appears, at the other extreme, in a new political movement—a concentrated endeavor to blow up and get rid of the childish formulae that have hagriden all politics down there for years, and to unhorse the mob-masters who have kept in power by the mouthing of them, and to restore the South once more to active and intelligent participation in the affairs of the nation. These things cannot be accomplished in a few years; they will take a great deal of time, and a great deal of hard and thankless effort. But it seems to be that the energy for their accomplishment is beginning to develop. There are now minorities in the South which demand being heard. For the first time since the Civil War self-criticism is now possible; more, it begins to grow almost fashionable. Up to ten years or so ago absolutely no intelligent discussion of Southern problems ever came out of the Southern extraordinary Negro, such as Brooker T. Washington. But now, in all of the Southern states save the most backward, a new realism is beginning to show itself, and even the newspapers are breaking away from their old hollow platitudes anduff. The battle, when it is fully joined, will be one of extraordinary ferocity, for the white morons, having run the South so long, are not likely to yield their power without a desperate struggle. Their long tenure, indeed, has intrenched them firmly in unexpected places. The principal politic leaders of the South train with them, and, in most cases, are of them; they are supported almost unanimously by the Southern clergy; they control, through these clergy, most of the institutions of so-called education south of Virginia. But despite this control, they are beginning to lose their hold upon the younger generation, and in all parts of the South the colleges are centers of the current uprising. What is happening there now happened in the North so long ago as Emerson's time. The more alert young men and women, coming into contact with a more urbane culture in the universities, revolt against the stupidity and obscurantism of their elders. The great majority, perhaps, conform, but it does not take a majority to make a rebellion. The struggle between Baptist theology and the Darwinian hypothesis, now going on in all of the Southern States, is typical of the general cultural turmoil. The effort to enforce Genesis by statute should not be mistaken for a unanimous and hopeless surrender to ignorance, as it is only too often by Northerners. It is actually no more than a last, desparing stand against the rising tide of enlightenment. When, in the 70's of the last century, the president of Princeton University, a Presbyterian clergyman, stood before the student body in chapel, and told his charges that they must either reject Darwin or cease to be Christians, nine-tenths of them arose in silence and marched off. Since then no more against Darwinism has been heard at Princeton. The same thing will happen in the South, perhaps, not as promptly and dramatically, but certainly as inevitably. The campaign for Genesis will not, of course, affect the incurably idiotic, the true white trash. But the more violently it is waged and the more frantically the secular arm is employed to aid it, the more surely it will alienate and arouse every intelligent youngster south of the Potomac, and the closer will come the day of reckoning for the rogues and imbeciles who have so long debauched and degraded the South.

MIGRATION HELD STRIKE AGAINST SOUTHERNSYSTEM Lumbermen Seeking to Abolish Convict Lease System for Labor SOUTH IS WAKING UP White Journals Are Advising a Change in Attitude and Conditions New York, June 28.—The migration of trainloads of colored people northward from the Southern states is tantamount to a strike against intolerable living conditions, low wages, poor schools, injustice in the courts, the brutalities of the Jim-Crow system and lynching, according to a statement issued today by the National association for the Advancement of Colored People. The statement which is signed by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the association, is as follows: "The migration of trainloads of colored people northward from the Southern States, is evidence of a concerted movement, really a strike against the intolerable conditions now prevailing in the South. Of course, the lure of higher wages in the North is playing its part. "Recognition of the part ill-treatment of the colored man has played in bringing about the loss of its chief source of labor by the South is coming from the white people themselves. In Alabama and Mississippi the white people are belatedly talking about giving the colored schools some share in the distribution of educational funds. "The departure of colored people from the South literally by the train load is speedily bringing about a virtual revolution in the traditional Southern attitude. The Jacksonville, Florida, Journal of May 24, reports a movement among lumbermen embracing the territory of Georgia, Florida and Southern Alabama, to abolish the fee and convict lease system. Even from Virginia, in an editorial of the Richmond News-Leader comes this statement that the "South, finally must improve the living conditions of its colored workers, who are now attributable to migratory workers when they have the promise, however illusory, of better things. They no longer are held back by timidity or by ignorance of the outside world, as once they were, and many of them are pathetically susceptible to the lure of high wages, even for temporary employment." "The northward movement of colored people from the South is in fact a strike against industrial and social conditions prevailing there. In the migration the colored people are more effective than any other member of their labor which is naturally more effective than any mere appeal to sentiment." Songs And Stunts Vie With Eats At Boy Scout Party Camp Season Songs, games, yells, speeches and beans were the order of the day at the party given by the boy scouts on the lawn and in the assembly room at St. James church Wednesday night. The boys had as their guests the girl scouts. Games were played on the lawn until dark under the sueprvision of Odell D. Smith, scoutmaster and his assistants, Herbert Foster and John Lawrence. Girl scouts were in charge of Mrs. Bertha King. In the assembly rooms an impromptu program of yells, songs and stunts was held until the "eats" were brought on. Committeemen John W. Kelley, Thomas Neal and Roy Wilkins were assisted by Mrs. Thomas Neal, Mrs. B. F. Edwards and Mrs. Maud Brooks. Rev. H. L. P. Jones was present and declared he had a great time. Some of the troop will go to Square lake camp next week. COLORED MAN WRITES HISTORY OF KLAN New York, June 26 (K. N. F. Service)—J. A.

Oklahoma Governor Declares He Will Stamp Out Mob Violence In State Executive Says Mob Will Be Halted if He Has to Put Every County Under Martial Law During His Term of Office; Warns Counties Oklahoma City, Okla., June 27.—Operations of "lawless mobs that have been committing outrages in Okmulgue county for months, and not merely the statement of three citizens detailing alleged abuses of official authority by deputy sheriffs, prompted Governor Watson to proclaim martial law in that county on Tuesday, according to Associated Press dispatches. More Counties Warned The governor said that four other counties in the state were threatened with the same alleged condition as he said existed in Okmulgee county. "Coddo county is on the verge of the same thing," he declared. "I am going to stamp job rule and I am going to Oklahoma if I have to put every county under military law and leave them there as long as I am governor." Civil Process Fails "I have tried and tried to get results through the regular civil agencies without success," the governor declared. "Local officials are too often allied with these secret, lawless mobs and I have got no results. I am determined to get results." "Okmulgee county is going to stay under martial law until I am satisfied I have sufficient enforcement there." MOBS TO GO, WALTON TELLS N. A. A. C. P. New York, June 28—Gov.

BeginPlansForSecond Business Exhibition Plans are already being formulated for the second annual business men's exhibition under the auspices of the St. Paul branch of the National Negro Business league, O. Howell, president, announced Thursday. "We have received many inquiries and letters of congratulation from all over the country," said Mr. Howell, "and we plan to make the second affair even bigger than the first one." No definite plans as to the time and place have been made as yet, but these will be decided upon and announced in the near future. There is talk of securing the auditorium or some other large hall because of the fact that the last exhibition attracted more people than our own hall could accommodate.

Arnold Hill, executive secretary of the Chicago Urban league. A constitution will be adopted after which the board will be elected and a budget approved. According to present estimates this budget for a year will amount to approximately $6,000. For the present, however, a fund of about $1,500 will be "necessary to carry on the work until the Community Chest takes over the organization in November. Of this amount more than $500 has already been pledged by colored citizens and some of it has ben paid in. The remainder is expected to be subscribed for by white citizens. The board will elect the executive secretary of the branch from among those recommended by the organizer. He will open an office not later than August 1. For a time the office force will consist of the secretary and his stenographer. Citizens who pledged funds to establish the league are urged to pay now in order that the work may go forward. Grim Tragedy Of Errors Result Of Texas Prejudice Grim Tragedy Of Errors Result Of Texas Prejudice White Man, Walking With Wife Mistaken for Colored, Shot Dead (Crusader Service.) Lubbock, Tex., June 29.—The unwritten law of Texas, that a colored man shall not be soon in public with a white woman, launched a strange tragedy here early today. A white business man is dead, and a constable is believed fatal shot, and the woman in the case is temporarily demented. Peering across a church lawn at sunrise, the cracker constable saw Alvin Hopper walking along a dimly lighted sidewalk with Mrs. Hopper. Hopper, a prominent business man, is very dark complexioned. “What are doing with a white woman at this hour?” demanded the constable. Hopper quickly assumed that an attempt was being made to kidnap his wife, and opened fire, wounding the constable. The constable fired back, and Hopper dropped dead. His wife is now demented and it is feared she may never recover her mind. JERSEY REPUBLICANS CALL POLITICAL MEET Newark, N. J., June 28 (K. N. F. Service). — The Colored Republican Conference of New Jersey has issued a call to all colored Republicans in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Indiana, Tennessee and Missouri, assemblies of the City by 2012, 1923, to devise ways and means to promote the conservation of our political rights.

N. F. Service) Marcus Garvey was sentenced Thursday morning by Federal Judge Mack to five years imprisonment and fined $1,000. Although the Court designated the Atlanta Penitentiary at Atlanta, Garvey, it is understood, was given the preference of serving out the sentence in Leavenworth, Kansas. All of the other defendants, indicted with Garvey for using the mails to defraud, were acquitted. Refused Bail Judge Mack refused to fix bail but granted a stay of execution until papers for an appeal were prepared. Meanwhile, Garvey must remain in the Tombs prison in this city. The costs of the trial, amounting to $5000 were assessed against the head of the Universal Association. A huge demonstration was staged by followers of Garvey when he was led from and to the prison a short distance from the federal building. One or two women knelt and prayed. Start New Defense Fund While in the Tombs, Garvey must not write any inciting articles on pain of being sent immediately to Atlanta. The Negro World, published by Garvey's organization, had announced that he would address an audience Liberty Hall Thursday night. Two thousand of his followers attended the hall and were addressed by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey, his wife. An admission charge of fifty cents was made and a collection taken for his defense fund. EXCURSION BOATS MAY BE BOOKED BY COLORED Agents Warn that Bookings Will Be Refused, However, if Fights Occur Colored lodges and other organizations will not be refused the rental of river excursion boats, J. A. Wark, agent of the line, said Thursday. Rumors that colored people would be refused the boats became current after a fight, which occurred on a boat excursion recently. "I have not refused colored people the use of the boat and dancing barge," said Mr. Wark, "although at the time I told them that if any more fights occurred on the boats I would be forced to refuse any more bookings. Since that boat, we have had two colored excursions and both have been as orderly as we could have desired. Just yesterday I booked two more dates for colored people." Colored Messenger Is Robbed Of $12,000 New York, June 21—(K. N. F. Service. Of nearly $20,000 obtained in a series of robberies last Wednesday, in Jersey City, Brooklyn and Manhattan, over $12,000 was obtained from Michael McDaniel, colored messenger employed by the Hudson County and Union Trust company, 75 Jefferson street, Jersey City. At the time of the robbery McDaniel was going from the Trust company to the office of the Manhattan Electric company at No. 45 Morris street when he was stopped by bandits in an automobile at the point of guns and robbed of $12,127.62 in cash. The same day a drug store was held up at 1985 Eighty-Six street, Brooklyn, and Julius Frank, a clerk of the Broadway Productions company, 1451 Broadway, was robbed of $4,700. KANSAS ASKED TO BAR "BIRTH OF A NATION" New York, June e28. — Upon receipt of the news in New York, that protest had been made against a new attempt to show the "Birth of a Nation" film in the state of Kansas, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Gov.

June 6, 1885, under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. ST. ANTHONY IN JUNE There are streets, avenues and blocks beautiful all over this land of ours, no doubt, where colored property owners have set up homes not as ornate, perhaps, as the best, but as beautiful, both within and without as any. Not many weeks ago an Eastern writer sang the praises of a New York block through a syndicated editorial. We read it carefully and proudly, for every chronicle of civic progress and beauty makes us sit up just a bit straighter and carry ourselves with just a bit more pride. The source of this pride in New York may be W. 139th street, in Chicago, Washington, or St. Louis it may be other blocks, but in St. Paul it is St. Anthony avenue. For two miles it stretches away, peopled in the main by colored folk, and for more than a mile it is lined with beautifully kept homes. Other cities have traded the beauty of green lawns for the prestige of being known as metropolises but no such choice has as yet been forced upon St. Paul. Consequently, roomy backyards with a lawn and garden hold sway on St. Anthony. For blocks, even, close-clipped lawns and boulevards bear testimony to the pride of their owners. Shrubberry and flowers grace snug, screened-in porches, and on the curbed boulevards a line of trees bend and nod in the summer wind. No brick pavements here, no paved backyards, tiers of family wash, and high-board fences. Here are no streets of endless brick front apartments. Here is an oiled avenue, white curbed, where the fresh green of nature reigns supreme and the untainted air of Minnesota's June blows cool and sweet. St. Paul colored folk have a right to be proud of St. Anthony. It is their street, theirs to maintain, improve, and ever be thankful for. WHICH WILL YOU CHOOSE? Within nine months Minnesota voters are faced with the task of choosing a senator from the nominees of three parties instead of two as hcretorefore. Beside the two old line parties, there is the Farmer-Labor, a healthy infant that has already placed Dr.Henrik Shiphead in the seat formerly occupied by Frank B. Kellogg. Colored voters will do well to give this election a little thought. At no time in the history of politics has the colored voter been in a more precarious position than now. Jersey Republicans have called a conference to consider ways and means of "safeguarding our political rights." In Baltimore, New York and Chicago, colored wards have gone Democratic. At Washington, the administration promises and quibbles and wabbles. These and other instances show plainly that the colored man's faith in the Republican party has been badly shaken, and in thousands of cases completely shattered. Blocks of voters have responded to the invitations of newer, so-called radical parties, reasoning, fairly enough, that since the Democrats are enemies and the Republicans have thrown them over, they will take a chance on a stranger. What will the colored voters of Minnesota do? Will they vote for a party, a man, or an issue? FLIP FLOP Since we have witnessed the political antics of a local colored weekly incident to the recent primary election, we are inclined to agree with Editor Smith, our contemporary across the river, that its policy is a "sad commentary upon the intelligence of our political thought." Imagine the job of explaining to voters the reason for passing over the front page to an obscure Democratic candidate before the election and printing the biography of the winning Republican candidate right after the election! THE GREAT WHITE WAY Sirs: The turmoil over whether a white or colored personnel shall operate the two-million-dollar hospital for colored war veterans at Tuskegee Institute is a revealing indication of the peculiar psychology of the Southern white man. Some years ago Alabama passed a lew prohibiting white women from nursing colored people. Now comes this big government hospital with a monthly payroll of $65,000. Race prejudice falls with a bang before the almighty dollar, and a delegation of eminent white Alabamans travels all the way to Washington to urge the President to permit whites to serve and wait upon colored patients! A friend of mine from Alabama has told me of another reason for the insistence by white Alabama that colored people be not allowed to man this institution. One of the leaders of the movement to put in a white staff remarked bluntly last week: "If niggers are put at the head of this hospital, they'll be responsible only to the United States government and we don't want any niggers in Alabama we can't control." At least this has the merit of frankness. In the same manner does Florida resent the recent expose of the horrors of the convict-leasing system in that and other states. Finally, President Harding, without reservation of any sort, stated through his secretary, in a letter dated April 28, and addressed to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, that the plan is "to man this institution completely with a colored personel." Since then the delegation of white Alabamaans has called at the White House. It remains to be seen whether the President will stand by his word, or whether he yet nurses the chimerical dream of breaking the "Solid South" through catering to Southern racial prejudice. Walter White, in the Freeman The Colored Church By William H. Gaston. the truth. Truth should be the pinnacle on every dome, the keystone in every arch, the foundation of every human institution. Customs and laws should harmonize with truth; no efforts should from its institution to harmize with customs and laws. Truth is the light that illuminates the world; it is the pillow of cloud by day and the pillow of fire by night. Every effort to suppress the truth is an attack upon mankind. The truth is never old; it always buds and blossoms and bears fruit. The truth when things were appointed from on high. That time has passed. Of course there are fanatical efforts to hold royalty in the same high esteem today; but the spirit of democracy says all governments derive their power from the consent of the governed. In the discussion of all bodies of humanity and faith, should prevail. Christianity, its ceremonies, its customs and its laws, were copied from the ancients, from those religions that had existed thousands of years before the birth of Christ. The sun, the moon and stars, all in their turn have been prayed to, been offered sacrifices and ceremonies, and been offered sacrifices and ceremonies, and chaldeans, Chaldeans, Egyptians and Persians, the Greeks and Romans all have in their turn had their governments and laws, their religions and customs and their civilization. Upon the banks of the Nile, the Euphrates, the Tigris and the Tiber civilizations and customs, laws and religions have been preserved, and their turn could have boasted of their superiority of governments, laws and religion. Many precepts from these religions are germs of pure morality. There existed on the Western hemisphere among Peruvians and Mexicans civilizations, customs and laws admitted by some historians to be superior to illiterate or the poor of the world and many respects. The sacrifices to Quetzalcotl, the god of the Aztecs, with the prayers and supplications of that deluded people received as much answer as the ceremonies, supplications, prayers and sacrifices to Jehovah of the Jews. All the gods of every tribe and nation have been appealed to, to suspend the laws of mankind, to suspend all the sacrifices and ceremonies, floods have drowned, conflagrations have swept the lands with vast destruction and many thousand deaths; earthquakes have destroyed the lives of millions of people, lightning have killed, drought and famine and pestilence have destroyed the lives of millions of people, lightning has killed the ages past temples have been built, the labors of the poor, prophets, priests and kings have lived upon the credulity of the people. The astrologers expounded their messages from the stars; the knights, the dukes and lords were messengers from the kings, the priests and kings were messengers from the same gods. From these early customs down through ages ours have come; from the ancients the church of the present world both black and white. The church has always been the institution through which submission and humility were taught the poor, the weak and the oppressed. Happiness and joy were also taught by the poor; they must hope for happiness after death. "Submit yourselves to the powers that be," was never meant for rulers, but the ruled. The toiling millions must "take no thought of tomorrow what you shall eat or what you shall wear." Through life the slaves, the oppressed must "consider the illies of the field" and remember that "if thy brother smites one cheek, turn to him the other also." These and like doctrines of the past, are impressed upon the colored man both heart and brain. You may have all this justification, but you must come to die," has been written upon the heart of the colored man and rings from many thousand throats in song. There is no people in the world so completely subjected to the teaching of this submissive doctrine as the colored. Through brutal laws, through custom and religion they were under the authority robed for more than two hundred years. So effectively have they been bound both in body and in mind, that years of freedom have not broken their chains. That the white man was their superior, lord and master, was to them, was preached to them, was written their brain. Through all the sufferings of Colonial days the colored man has come and borne his part. In all the wars and on a thousand battlefields his blood poured out. Into the god Mars, the black man has willingly sacrificed, as the of the very first he that struck free freedom; the very last to be freed. I dislike that feeling of race inferiority that seems to breed and grow in the atmosphere of the colored church. The color of the skin does not indicate the quality of the brain. Race does not mark the wealth or poverty of the mind. No institution should disparage the activity of the mind, or attempt to establish a fixed standard for quality of the brain. Education should not countless things have their influence the way of conditions, circumstances, experiences and environment, it is not an easy matter to decide. URGE BLACK AND WHITE WORKERS TO UNITE New York, June 27. — William Pickens, Field Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, speaking June 23 at the annual conference of the League for Industrial Democracy, Camp Tammiment, Blue Mountains, unite in fighting the prejudice which their ranks are at present divided. "Colored people should be admitted to the ranks of organized labor with no shadow of difference," he asserted. "With twelve or fifteen million colored people in the United States, we must be forced to labor with the colored laborer a tool in the hand of those who oppose the advance of labor." BORAH MAY ADDRESS N. A. A. C. P. CONFERENCE New York, June 29. — Senator Borah of Idaho has expressed the hope that he may be able to address the Kansas City conference, in August of this year, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Senator Borah's speaking will depend upon what part of the United States he may be in, at the time the conference takes place.

That expression Madeline had never before encountered in the look of any man. Probably its strangeness had made her notice it and accounted for her blushing. The longer she lived among these outdoor men the more they surprised her. Particularly, how incomprehensible was this cowboy Stewart! Why should he have pride or joy at sight of her? The approaching automobile was on the slope now, some miles down the long gradual slant. Its velocity was astounding. Long, gray gells, like pennants, streamed in the wind. A low rushing sound became perceptible, and it grew louder, became a roar. The car shot like an arrow past the alfaflush the bunk-house, where the cowboys were hiding. The horses and burros in the corral began to snort and tramp in the race. At the base of the long slope of the foothill Link the cut speed of half. Yet the car roared up, rolling the dust, flying capes and vels and ulsters, and crashed and cracked to a halt in the yard before the porch. Madeline described a gray, disheveled mass of humanity packed inside the car. Besides the driver there were seven occupants, and for a moment they appeared to be coming to life, moving and exclamating under the vells and wraps and dust-shields. Link Stevens' stepped out and, removing helmet and goggles, coily looked at his watch. "An hour an' a quarter, Miss Hammond," he said. "It's sixty-three miles by the valley road, an' you know there's a couple of bad hills. I reckon we made fair time, considerin' you wanted me to drive slow an' safe." From the mass of dusty-velled humanity in the car came low exclamations and plaintive feminine walls. Madeline stepped to the front of the porch. Then the deep voices of men and softer voices of women united in one glad outburst, as much a thanksgiving as a greeting, "Majesty!" Helen Hammond was three years younger than Madeline, and a slender, pretty girl. Having recovered her breath soon after Madeline took her to her room, she began to talk. "Majesty, old girl, I'm here; but you can bet I would never have gotten here if I had known about that ride from the railroad. You never wrote that you had a car. I thought this was our West—stage coach, and all that sort of thing. Such a tremendous car! And the road! What kind of a chauffeur is he?" "He's a cowboy. He was crippled by falling under his horse, so I had him instructed to run the car. He can drive, don't you think?" "Drive? Good gracious! He scared us to death, except Castleton. Nothing could scare that cold-blooded little Englishman. I am dizzy yet. Do you know, Majesty, was delighted when I saw the car. Then your cowboy driver met us at the platform. What a queer-looking individual! He had a big pistol strapped to those leather trousers. That made me nervous. When he piled us all in with our grips, he put me in the seat beside him, whether I liked it or not. I was fool enough to tell him I loved to travel fast. What do you think he said? Well, he眼了 in a rather cool and speculative way and said, with a smile, "I reckon anything you love an 'n'," he could not tell me here! I didn't know whether it was delightful candor or impudence. Then he said to all of us: "Shore you had better wrap up in the ulls an 'dusters', it's a long, slow, hot, dusty ride to the car, miss Hammond's order was to drive safe," he gave to our baggage to drive safe. He gave to our baggage to wrap his arms round the wheel, and sank down low in his seat. There was a crack, a jerk, a kind of flash around us, and that dirty little town was somewhere on the map behind. For about five minutes I had a lovely time. Then the wind began to tear to pieces. I couldn't hear anything but the rush of wind and roar of the car. I could see only straight ahead. What a road! I never saw a road in my life till today. Miles and miles and miles ahead, with not even a post or tree. That big car seemed to leap at the miles. It hummed and sang. I was fascinated, then terrified, then sent out a tent. I felt the wind breathe. The wind went through me, and I expected to be dishebred by it any minute. I was afraid I couldn't hold any clothes on. Presently all I could see was a flashing gray wall with a white line in the middle. Then my eyes blurred. My face burned. My ears grew full of a hundred thousand howling devils. I was about ready to die when the car stopped. I looked and looked, and when I could see, there you stood!" "Helen, I thought you were fond of speeding," said Madeline, with a laugh. "I was. But I assure you I never before was in a fast car; I never met a driver." "Perhaps I may have a few surprises for you out here in the wild and woolly West." Helen's dark eyes showed a sister's memory of possilities. "You've started well," she said. "I am simply stunned. I expected to find you old and dowdy. Majesty, you're the handsomest thing I ever lain on. You're so splendid and strong, and your skin is like white gold. What's happened to you? What's changed you? This beautiful room, those glorious roses out there, the cool, dark sweetness of this wonderful house! I know you, Majesty, and, though you never wrote it, I believe you have made a home out here. That's the most stunning surprise of all. Come, confess. I know I've always been fishish and not much of a BIRTHDAY DRIVE NETS N. A. A. C. P. MEMBERS New York June 28—Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in honor of the birthday on June 17 of the Association's Secretary, James Weldon Johnson, telegraphed the numbers of new members they had obtained for the association. The District of Columbia branch sent the following telegram: sister; but if you are happy out here I am glad. You were not happy at home. Tell me about yourself and about Alfred. Then I shall give you all the messages and news from the East." It afforded Madeline exceeding pleasure to have from one and all of her guests useful encomiums of her beautiful home, and a real and warm interest in what promised to be a delightful and memorable visit. Of them all Castleton was the only one who failed to show surprise. He greeted her precisely as he had when he had last seen her in London. Madeline, rather to her astonishment, found me meeting him again pleasurable. She discovered she liked this imperturbable Eleanor Manifestly her capacity for liking any one had immeasurably enlarged. Quite unexpectedly her old girlish love for her younger sister sprang into life, and with it interest in these half-forgotten friends, and a warm regard for Edith Wayne, a chum of college days. Edith Wayne was a patrician brunette, a serious, soft-voiced woman, sweet and kindly, despite a rather bitter experience that had left her worldly wise. Mrs. Carrollton Beck, a plain, lively person, had chaperoned the party. The fourth and last of the feminine contingent was Miss Dorothy Coombs—Dot, as they called her—a young woman of attractive blond pretiness. For a man Castleton was of very small stature. He had a pink-and-white complexion, a small golden mustache, and his heavy eyelids, always drooping, made him look dull. His attention was to the aggrated English style, attracted attention to his diminutive size. He was immaculate and fastidious. Robert Weede was a rather large flord young man, remarkable only for his good nature. Counting Boy Harvey, a handsome, pale-faced fellow, with the careless smile of the man for whom life had been easy and pleasant, the party was complete. "Majesty, have you planned any fun, any excitement for you?" asked Helen. "Above all, Majesty, we want something to happen." "My dear sister, maybe you will have your wish fulfilled," replied Majeline, soberly. "Edith, Helen has made me curious about your special yearning." "Majesty, it is only that I wanted to be with you for a while," replied this old friend. There was in the wistful reply, accompanied by a dark and eloquent glance of eyes, that told Majeline of Edith's understanding, of her sympathy, perhaps a path to our own unquiet soul. It saddened Majeline. How many women might there not be who had the longing to break down the bars of their cage, but had not the spirit! CHAPTER XIII Cowboy Golf. In the whirl of the succeeding days in was a mooted question whether Madeline's guests or her cowboys or herself got the keenest enjoyment out of the flying time. Considering the sameness of the cowboys' ordinary life, she was inclined to think they made the most of the present. Stillwell and Stewart, however, had found the situation trying. The work of the ranch had to go on, and some of it got sadly neglected. Stillwell could not resist the ladies any more than he could resist the fun in the extraordinary goings on of the cowboys. Stewart alone kept the business of cattle-raising from a serious setback. Early and late he was in the saddle, driving the lazy Mexicans whom he had hired to relieve the cowboys. One morning in June Madeline was sitting on the porch with her merry friends when Stillwell appeared on the corral path. He had not come to consult Madeline for several days—an omission so unusual as to be remarked. "Here comes Bill—in trouble," laughed Florence. Indeed, he bore some faint resemblance to the thunderstorm, broached the thunderstorm, and greeted the greetings. A man in a suit holding a hat is talking to two women sitting on a bench. "Miss Majesty, Sure I'm a Sad Demoralized Old Cattleman," He Said Presently. he got from Madeline's party, especially he got from Helen and Dorothy, chased away the blackness from his face and brought the wonderful wrinkling smile. "Miss Majesty, sure I'm a sad demoralized old cattleman," he said, presently. "An I'm in need of a heap of help." "Very well; unburden yourself." "Wal. the cowboys have gone plumb "We are sending through mail 286 members in honor your birthday. The branch exends congratulations, wishes many happy returns. Your unselfish devotion to cause (of) race and splendid preparation deserves highest mention." Among the large membership increases reported in honor of Mr. Johnson's birthday are the following: Shreveport, La., 100; Los Angeles, Cal., 250; Toledo, Ohio, 174; Kansas batty, jest plain crazy over this heah game of golot-*l* A merry plea of mirth greeted Stillwell's solemn assertion. "Oh, Stillwell, you are in fun," replied Madeline. "I hope to die if I'm not in dale earnest," declared the cottman. "It's an amazin' strange fact. Ask Flo. She'll tell you. She knows cowbys, an' how if they ever start on somehit' they ride it as they ride a hoss." Florence being appealed to, and evidently feeling all eyes upon her, modestly replied that Stillwell had scarcely misstated the situation. "Cowbys play like they work or fight," she added. "They give their whole souls to it. They are great big simple boys." "Indeed they are," said Madeline. "Oh, I'm glad if they like the game of golf. They have so little play." "Wal, somehit's got to be did if we're to go on raisin' cattle at Her Majesty's Rancho," replied Stillwell. He appeared both deliberate and resigned. Madeline remembered that despite Stillwell's simplicity he was as deep as any of his cowboys, and there was absolutely no gaging him where possibilities of fun were concerned. Madeline fancied that his exaggerated talk about the cowboys' sudden craze for golf was in line with certain other remarkable tales that had lately emanated from him. Some very strange things had occurred of late, and it was impossible to tell whether or not they were coincidents, or deep-lain, skillfully more vividly described of the fun-loving cowboys. Certainly there had been great fun, and at the expense of her guests, particularly Castleton. So Madeline was at a loss to know what to think about Stillwell's latest elaboration. From mere force of habit she sympathized with him and found difficulty in doubting his apparent sincerity. "To go back a ways," went on Stillwell, as Madeline looked on expectantly, "you recollect what pride the boys took in fixin' up that go-lof course out on the mea? Wal, they worked on the job, an' though I never seen any other course, I till gamble yours can't be beat. The boys was sure curious about that game. You recollect also how they all wanted to see you an' your brother play, an' be caddies for you. Wal, whenever you'd quit they'd go to work tryin' to play yours. Monty Price, he was the leadin' spirit. Old as I am, Miss Maja, an' used as I am to cowboy excentrikities, I nearly dropped dale when I heared that little hobble-footed, burned-up Montana cow-puncher say there wasn't any game too swell for him, an' go-lof was his speed. Serious as a preacher, mind you, he was. An hew he always practicin' the game, an' he him charge's the course an' the clubhouse an' the funny sticks, why, Monty was tickled to death. You see, Monty is sensitive that he ain't much good any more for cowboy work. He was glad to have a job that he didn't feel he was hangin' to the kidness. He was glad to have a job that he didn't feel he was hangin' to the clubhouse, he read the books in the clubhouse, he read the boys to doin' the same. That wasn't very hard, I reckon. They played early a' late an' in the moonlight. For a while Monty was coach, an' the boys stood it. But pretty soon Frank Slade got puffed on his game, an' he had to have it on Monty. Wal, Monty beat him all the time. After that they split up an' began to play matches, two on a side. For a spell this worked fine. But cowboys can't never be satisfied long onley who win all the time. Monty an' Link Stevens, both cripples, you might say, joined forces an' elected to heat all comers. Wal, they did, an' that's the trouble. Down at the bunks in the evening, some mournifly the way the comers out. They've taken on superior airs. You couldn't reach up to Monty with a trimmed spruce pole. An' Link—wal, he's just amazin' scornful. not to want, for the good of ranchin', not to mention a possible fight, that Monty an' Link he got to be beat. There'll be no peace round this ranch till that's done." Madeline could hardly control her mind. "What in the world can I do?" "Wal, I reckon I couldn't say. I only come to you for advice. All I'm sure of is that the conceit has got to be taken out of Monty an 'link.' "Stillwell, listen," said Madeline brightly. "We'll arrange a match game, a foursome, between Monty and Link and your best pick team. Castleton, who is an expert golfer, will umpire. My sister, and friends, and I will take turns as caddies for your team. That will be fair, considering yours is the weaker. Caddies may coach, and perhaps expert advice is all that is necessary for your team to defeat Monty's." "A grand idea," declared Stillwell, with instant decision. "When can we have this match game?" "An afternoon. Well all ride out of the links." The idea was as enthusiastically received by Madeline's guests as it had been by Stillwell. Madeline was pleased to note how seriously they had taken the old cattelman's story. She had a little throb of wild expectancy that made her both fear and delight in the afternoon's prospect. The June days had set in warm; in fact, hot during the noon hours; and this had inculcated in her insatiable visitors a tendency to profit by the experience of those used to the Southwest. They inculcated in the restful stesta during the heated term of the day. Badeline was awakened by Majesty's well-known whistle and pounding on the gravel. Then she heard the City, Kan., 116; Charleston, W. Va., 125; San Jose, Cal., 100; Camden, N. J., 100; Gary, W. Va., 56; Kansas City, Mo., 50; Rochester, N. Y., 42; Spokane, Wash., 100. DYER WILL TOUR EAST FOR ANTI-LYNCH BILL New York, June 29—Following the death of Dyer has roused the far Western state. Dyer enthusiasm for the coming fight to enact the Dyer anti-lynching bill in other horses. When she went out she found her party assembled in gala golf attire, and with spirits to match their costumes. Castleton, especially, appeared resplendent in a golf coat that beggared description. Madeline had faint misgivings when she reflected on what Monty and Nels and Nick might do under the influence of that blazing garment. "Oh, Majesty," cried Helen, as Madeline went up to her horse, "don't make him kneel!" Try that flying mount. We all want to see it. It's so stunning that way, too. I must have him kneel," said Madeline, "or I can't reach the stirrup. He's so tremendously high." Madeline had to yield to the laughing insistence of her friends, and after all of them except Florence were up she made Majesty go down on one knee. Then she stood on his left side, facing back, and took a good firm grip on the bride and pommel and his mane. After she had slipped the toe down, she called to Majesty. He jumped and swung her up into the saddle. "Now just to see how it ought to be done watch Florence," said Madeline. The Western girl was at her best in riding-habit and with her horse. It was beautiful to see the ease and grace with which she accomplished the cowboys' flying mount. Then she led the party down the slope and across the flat to climb the mesa. Madeline never saw a group of cowboys without looking them over, almost unconsciously, for her foreman, Gene Stewart. This afternoon, as usual, he was not present. However, she noted the presence of which she was wholly conscious—that she was both disappointed and irritated. He had really not been attentive to her guests, and he, of all her cowboys, was the one of whom they wanted most to see something. Stewart, however, immediately slipped out of her mind as she surveyed the group of cowboys on the links. By actual count there were sixteen, not including Stillwell. The cowboys were on dress-parade, looking very different in Madeline's eyes, at least, from the way cowboys usually appeared. Sombreros with silver buckles and horsehair bands were in evidence; and bright silk scarfs, embroidered vests, fringed and ornamented chaps, huge swinging guns, and clinking silver spurs lent a festive appearance. You'll you all raced over, I seen. Stillwell, taking Madeline's bride. "Get down—get down. We're sure amazing' amzin' an proud. An, 'Miss Majesty, I'm offerin' to beg pawdin for the way the boys are packin' guns, Mebbe it ain't polite. But it's Stewart's orders." "Stewart's orders!" echoed Madeline. Her friends were suddenly silent. "I reckon he won't take no chances on the boys bein' surprised sudden by raiders. An' there's raiders operatin' in from the Guadalupes. That's all. Nothin' to worry over. I was just explainin'." Madeline, with several of her party, expressed relief, but Helen showed excitement and then disappointment. "Oh, I want something to happen!" she cried. Sixteen pairs of keen cowboy eyes fastened intently upon her pretty, petulant face; and Madeline divined, if Helen did not, that the desired consummation was not far off. "So do L'," said Dot Coombs. "It would be perfectly lovely to have a real adventure." The gaze of the sixteen cow boys shifted and sought the demure face of this other discontented girl. Madeline laughed, and Stillwell wore his strange, moving smile. Monty and Lik, like two emperors, came stalking across the links. Madeline's friends were hugely amused over the prospective match; but, except for Dorothy and Castleton, they disclaimed any ambition for active participation. Accordingly, Madeline appointed Castleton to judge the play, Dorothy to act as caddie for Ed Linton, and she herself to be caddie for Ambrose. While Stillwell beamingly announced this momentous news to his team and supporters Monty and Link were striding up. Both were diminutive in size, bow-legged, lame in one foot, and altogether unproposessing. Link was young, and Monty's years, more than twice Link's, had left their mark. But it would have been impossible to tell Monty's age. He was burned to the color and hardness of a cinder. He was dark-faced, swaggering, for all the things he had handled. "That Monty makes my dyes creep," said Helen, low-vowed. "Really, Mr. Stillwell, is he so bad-desperate—as Ive heard? Did he ever kill anybody?" "Sure. 'Most as many as Neils,' replied Stillwell, cheerfully. "Oh! And is that nice Mr. Nels a desperado, too? I wouldn't have thought so. He's so kind and old-fashioned and soft-voiced." "Nels is sure an example of the dooplicity of men, Miss Helen. Don't you listen to his soft voice. He's really as bad as a side-winder rattlesnake." One of the cowboys came for Castleton and led him away to exploit upon ground rules. The game began. At first Madeline and her essayy asked to direct the endeavors of their respective players. But all they said and did only made their team play the worse. At the third hole they were far behind and hopelessly bewildered. Madeline and her party sat up to watch the finish of the match. It came with spectacular suddenness. A sharp yelpealed out, and all the cowboys turned attentively in its direction. A big black horse had surmounted the (To be continued next week) the next session of congress, he has consented to make another tour of Eastern cities also under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which sponsored the Western tour.

Don't neglect to visit a dentist at least once a year (twice yearly is very good practice). If your tooth aches before visiting a dentist. Don't eat too much of the artificial and denatured foods, eat more of the natural foods. The kind that will make you chew (vegetables, fruits, nuts, berries, grains and roots). Don't let your children's temporary teeth go without dental attention because of the fact that they lose them and get new ones. Don't neglect to clean and thoroughly brush your artificial dentures daily. Don't let deposits form around your teeth. It causes spongy, bleeding gums and inflammation, too, which if neglected will develop into pyorrhea. Don't forget that it is easier to prevent a disease than it is to cure it. Don't neglect to brush your teeth morning and evening. Don't forget that it is very good practice to use a mouth wash along with your dentrifice. Don't forget to remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Don't forget that the mouth is termed "The Gateway of Infection." Keep it clean; keep the gate well fortified. Your teeth are the guards and sentinels, so to speak. Keep them strong and health; don't permit them to become broken down, weak and frail, because they will not be able to withstand the attacks of the enemy (bacteria) which might cause destruction and perhaps total wreck to the medical organization.

Don't forget that today is always here, tomorrow never, hence never think of putting off for tomorrow what you can do today. Kills Self so He Can Do Good in New World New York—Convinced that in the world beyond the grave he could do more good than on earth, Hubert Dewaney, forty, a Spiritualist, killed himself in his home here. Dewaney was employed as night watchman of Dreamland park, of which his brother, Orris, is manager, and nightly, according to the police, went into a trance and when he came out declared he had talked with spirits. Several times he offered what he said were messages from his brother's decreased sons. Dewaney left two letters for his brother, one asking Orris to pay a $1 loan. In the other he said: "If it is true that there is another life waiting for us all beyond the grave in that other world, I am convinced that I can do more good there than here. Good-by and good luck to all." Hauls Officer 100 Miles Anchorage, Alaska.-While taking an Indian accused of murder from Fort Gibbon to Fairbanks recently, Deputy United States Marshal E. B.

Cooperative Businesses CANAL TONNAGE RISE CONTINUES Panama Tolls for Each Month Since July, 1922, Exceeded $1,000,000. Washington.—March was the ninth successive month in which the Panama canal revenue from tolls has aggregated more than $1,000,000, with practically each month marking an upward tendency in volume of traffic From July 1, 1922, to March 31, 1928 the total revenue from tolls has been $11,750,001.58. Although this period covers only nine months of the current fiscal year, the revenue from tolls already has exceeded the amount received in any 12 months' period preceding July 1, 1922. All previous canal traffic records were broken in March, when 521 vessels of all kinds, exclusive of canal equipment, transited the canal. This exceeds by 96 the former record of transits. Ships passing through the canal from the Pacific to the Atlantic exceeded by 18 those from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but tolls on Pacific-bound vessels were greater by $128,614.00, owing to the large number of government vessels which were included in the transits to the Pacific. The revenue from toils exceeded by $822,482.89 the previous record month's revenue from this source. The proportion of big vessels transiting the canal continues to be large. In March 42 vessels carrying 10,000 tons or more of cargo each made the trip. Of these, 40 were bound from the Pacific to the Atlantic and two from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Of the total, 88 were tankships. Of the east-bound tankships, 81 carried cargo from California oil fields, and one carried a cargo of crude petroleum from Callao to New York. Increases in January. The total number of commercial vessels through the canal during January, 1928, was 852, as compared with 210 in January, 1922, or an increase of 67 per cent. The Panama canal net tonnage of commercial vessels through the canal in January, 1928, was 1,610,692, as compared with 845,615 tons in January, 1922, an increase of 90 per cent; the tons collected in January, 1928, amounted to $1,805,295.55, as compared with $447,767.55 in January, 1922, an increase of 77 per cent. The amount of cargo carried by commercial vessels through the canal in January, 1928, was 1,867,982 tons, as compared with 807,298 tons in January, 1922, an increase of 97 per cent. Again, in February a new high mark for number of transits was established when 425 vessels of all kinds, exclusive of canal equipment, passed through the canal. This is 50 more than the previous record, established in January. With the exception of January, the February commercial traffic was the greatest in the canal's history. The average daily transits and average daily receipts from tolls were the highest for any month to date, but owing to February having 28 days the aggregate was slightly under January's figures. An analysis of origin and destination of cargo passing through the canal in February, compared with the same month in the two preceding years, shows several marked changes in cargo movements. In the Atlantic-to-Pacific cargo the amount destined for the west coast of South America shows the greatest falling off. Two years ago heavy shipments of coal and fuel oil were routed through the canal to the west coast of South America, while now practically no coal for this region is being shipped through the canal. A notable increase in cargo tonnage to the east coast of the United States from the west coast is attributed in the Canal Record in part to the large shipments of California oil which began several months ago, and which are largely intercoastal; and in part to the great increase in the intercoastal traffic of all commodities. A large increase in tonnage originating on the west coast of South America is attributed primarily to the resumption of nitrate shipments, together with shipments of Peruvian crude petroleum and of iron and copper ores from Chile. Praises Canal Workera Jay J. Morrow, governor of the Panama Canal, in a communication to the employees of the waterway in the Panama Canal Record, pays them a tribute for their loyalty and efficiency. He says: "The two successful passages just completed of the scouting fleet through the canal, coming simultaneously with the recent remarkable increase in commercial shipping utilising our waterway, presents fitting opportunity for me to express the great satisfaction and pride I feel in our organisation and in the proved loyalty and efficiency of all divisions and departments of the canal and railroad. I desire particularly to publicize the fine work of the marine division and of the operating forces of the locks under the heavy work of the three months just closing, and the work of the dredging division as particularly marked by its operation in the presence of the heavy traffic and in the handling of the December slide. The big increase in the use of the canal by shipping is plain evidence of appreciation of highly efficient service. Our organization is a success, and this success is due to the individual and collective efforts of all those employees who take a pride in their individual part in the work."

PORTERS' 18 Excellent Food at M TOBACCO GLOVER SHULL, Pres "THE LAST LOAF" A two-act drama to be given by Como Temple Marching Club AT THE CHURCH CLUB Corner of Dale St. and Portland Ave. TUESDAY EVE., JULY 10 Don't fail to hear two of the leading characters in "The Last Loaf" in the persons of Mr. A. J. Todd as Mark Ashton and Mr. Sie Bockenstole as Caleb Hanson. And if you fail to hear Louis White as Harry Hanson you will miss a treat. See how strong his love is for Lilly Ashton, how he goes to China for five years and comes home and claims her as his wife. The play would be unpopular if we failed to tell you of the leading character, Hate Ashton (Mark's wife) splendidly played by Mrs. Carrie Ailop. Hear her conversation and see how strong her love binds her to husband and daughter. See how a wife's love can battle for the husband; a mother's love for the child. If you want a good, hearty laugh come and hear Mr. L. C. Jackson, the stuttering butcher, who tries to express his love to Patty Jones. An interesting character is Mr. Huey McCarty, the high-toned Dick Bustle, a person who lets off his big words all the time and muddles things dreadfully. Hear him! See the beautiful daughter of Ashton in the person of Miss Equilla Fields, about whom the family, rich and respected, are brought to their last loaf. Last, but not least, hear Patty Jones, the hired girl, played by Mrs. Anna L. Fields who sticks with the family through prosperity and poverty.
