"I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Summer.

WET FIGHT ON NEW ANGLE Wisconsin Brewers to Protest the Legality of Court's Definition of Criminal Conduct Milwaukee, Jan. 6—Coincident with the ruling of the United States Supreme court declaring constitutional parts of the Volstead prohibition enforcement act dealing with a definition of what constitutes intoxicating liquor under wartime prohibition, Wisconsin brewing interests announced that they would contest the legality of the same act's definition of intoxicating liquor under prohibition by constitutional amendment. The test case will be brought within a few days, according to William H. Austin, counsel for Milwaukee brewers. The validity of the Volstead act in so far as it concerns wartime prohibition will not be questioned, however.

Alone upon a hill I stand, Overlooking No Man's Land; In night's black skies, like Northern lights, Pale flashes rise to mark the heights, Where death's dark angel bears away, The souls of men who have died today. Jesus of Nazareth, from thy cross, Look down and comfort those who toss, And scream with pain and anguish dread, In No Man's Land among the dead; Have pity for the wounds they bear, Jesus of Nazareth, near my prayer. On Calvary as the hours dragged, From large, cruel nails thy body sagged; Yet in such agony, Oh Lord, Thou did give blessed comfort toward, One suffering soul, who with Thee died, He, who for sin, was crucified. Out here die men who die for right, Jesus, he merciful tonight; Wilt thou who stills the troubled seas, Stretch forth thy hand their pain to ease? For many mother's son, Whose feet have so nobly trod, Earth's battlefield for humanity, Oh! Son of God. —Sergt. Vincent Sims, 370th Regt., A. E. F.

He may unpump pugilist of the world—a privacy Negro. So let him go to it, we'll Be convinced you are right and then stand by your convictions. Long immunity from punishment for mob violence against colored men soon begets a contempt for law in dealing with whites. According to newspaper reports, the persons who broke into I. W. W. quarters on Martin St. and destroyed literature found there, first visited the chief of police and advised him of their purpose. No policeman was around. If true, 'tis a serious charge against the department. Either the I. W. W. is unlawful and should be legally suppressed, or else it is lawful and should be protected in its rights. Irresponsible persons should not be permitted to exercise the functions of lawfully constituted authorities. We cannot believe the story. In the Municipal Court, Milwaukee, recently Judge A. C. Backus sentenced two Chicago gunmen and robbers to a term of thirty years at the state prison, Waupun. The men were charged and pleaded guilty to two assaults with intent to murder and rob. No good citizen will take exceptions to this sentence. Having satisfied himself of their guilt, the judge did well to give them the full penalty of the law. That the men happen to be of the same race as ourselves, in no wise arouse our sympathies; they are robbers, a menace to the community, in no sense representative of their race. Society is always safest with such men behind the bars for a long term. PEEVED. "The Madison Democrat is peeved, "all it up," and does not care who knows it. And all because "Clay Truner, handsome Negro, half white, a chauffeur in Madison, his home, six or eight years ago, is posturing as an Indian in Detroit, and winning laurels as a pugilist. The Detroit Fere Press says of him, that he is an Indian, tough as leather, and with his natural assets for a ring career, knows how to box. His success in gaining a verdict over the flashy Hebrew in a battle at Boston attests to the red man's qualifications to step along with the fastest company in the light heavyweight circle." What fools some mortals be! They give a fellow hell merely because he is a Negro, and then work themselves into a fit if he beats them at their own unholy game. This "handsome Negro," though "half white," is not the first to "see the wrath to come" by his wit. The woods are full of others who successfully get by as Indians, Spaniards, French and even plain "white trash." So long as the Negro remains unpopular and a premium is placed on being something else, the more venturesome will cross the "great divide" in spite of the watchful eyes of Madison Democrats. As an Indian, Turner enjoys many advantages he would be denied as a Negro. He may even aspire to be champion pugilist of the world—a privilege now denied to every Negro. So let him go to it, we'll say. (New York News) We want to urge upon you—every colored individual and every colored organization—the need of supporting your own race in business wherever possible.

Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 6.—Fully one third of the estimated 350,000 steel workers who obeyed the order of the national steel strike committee September 22 last are still on strike, say the strike leaders. Yet the employers assert that the mills and furnaces of the Carnegie Steel company, the principal interest against which the strike was directed, as well as mills and furnaces of independent companies, are in steady operation with virtually a normal force of workmen. In recent weeks strike headquarters in this city has devoted its time to keeping in line the men who had not gone back to work, and to caring for the destitute, while the steel companies have been busy building up their forces and increasing production.

Geneva, Switzerland, Jan. 6.—A tribute to Field Marshal Von Kluck, commander of the right wing of the German army in its advance on Paris in 1914, has been paid by Marshal Joffre, chief of the French armies in the first titanic struggle of the war, who is visiting the little town of Alge, just west of St. Maurice. "Masterly tactics in the retreat from the Marne, while they did not stem the tide of defeat, saved the German right wing from complete disaster," he said.

While he strongly condemned the German soldiers for their conduct during the war, Marshal Joffre stated he admired their bravery.

On the 5th of November, in 1506, Christopher Columbus, in spite of the incumulative services he had rendered to Spain, was taken into Cadiz in fetters. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella were moved at the sight and commanded that he be released. Columbus, however, was unable to forgive the insult, and until the time of his death the ignominious fetters were hung in full sight on his walls as a reminder of the ingratitude of his sore ereigns. Keep Accounts. Farming is a business the same as banking or running a mercantile establishment. There are products to be sold and articles to be bought. The keeping of a record of these and determining the relation of the outgo to the income are important considerations on every farm. The farmer should know what his income is and just how he is disposing of it. He can know this only by keeping books and the first of the new year is the proper time to begin—Exchange. Lion Had Long Life Authorities differ as to the age limit of a lion. Some biologists fix the normal span of a lion's life at about twenty-two years. A lion which died in the Tower of London in 1750 had lived in captivity over 70 years. LOCALS Mr. J. A. Adkins, Jr., is in Rock- ford, Ill., where he will be employed.
