Because Sheriff Refused to Summon
Negroes on Jury
A Tallahassee special to the Tampa
Times, under date of March 18th,
says:
Because a sheriff refused to sum-
mon negroes to serve on jury the SUI
preme court, by a divided opinion, re-
versed the conviction of a white man
from Jacksonville courts on the
charge of embeZzlement
1T was shown that no negroes had
been summoned, and the trial judge
refused to compel the sheriff to an
swer a question whether in his eight
years of service he had ever summon
ed negro for jury service. On this
ruling the case was reversed"

CONVENTION

The forty-second annual convention
Of the American Society for the Study
of Alcohol and Other Narcotics, has
this week been held, a large number
of professional and scientific men be-

Kelly of the Johns Hopkins Univer-

surgeons of the present time, was in
attendance, and addressed large
gathering of women in the First Con-
gregational church. He made some
startling statements, saying: Under
! the surface of our civilization in our
own cities, there exists a condition of
affairs too horrible to portray and
conditions are constantly becoming
worse
The social evil is more widespread,
more menacing today than ever be-
fore 1t claims its victims by the
countless thousands. A terrible toll
of innocent children is being taken
yearly in our cities washington as
we'll as elsewhere), for purposes that
would not dare to even hint to you.
The evil must be exterminated

Physicians Should Fight Giant Curse
While the medical profession is do

fight against tuberculosis, typhoid fe-

diseases (destroyers Of mankind) and
winning the plaudits of the entire
world, why should we not put up just
as strong anda determined a fight
against a curse that is destroying
about as many lives Zone in every
ten, and causing over one hundred |
fold more restitution and distress of
heart among our people and kindred |
OF every land and nation, saying /
nothing of the immoral tendency on
future generations? The medical pro-
fession of all the leading nations of
the world is taking a decided stand
on this great question. The public
looks to the medical profession for
instruction and guidance in matters
pertaining to health.
Let the honorable faculties of our
medical colleges take decided steps

Washington. June There's a
dark man with a sinister purpose
lurking in his brain in every corridor
of the capitol and the house and SEN

of these gentlemen carries concealed
in his verbal apparatus a series of ex-

particular schedule in the tariff which
meets the disapproval of his employ

Among the number is the worried

here TO save the sugar industry from
utter r-r-ruin. Members of this class
are more numerous than any of the
others. Does a harried congressman
