ONE SALOON THAT is USEFUL

In the January American Magazine
Peter Clark MacFarlane tells true
stories of several drunkards who
have succeeded in Kidding themselves
of the liquor habit. In the course Of
his article he tells about the Self
Master Colony at Elizabeth, n. j.,
where a great work is being done
particularly for men and women ad-
dicted to drink. The following ex-
tract from the article explains the
advantage to the colony of a saloon
across the street:
ACROSS the road from the Colony
is Riley's-a typical country saloon.
To the inmates of the Colony Riley's
is sort of testing machine. IT
man can sit on the Colony well curb
and look at Riley's ndifferently-as
if it were an undertaker's shop, for
instance-he is getting along. If, on
the contrary, at the squeak and pouf
of these swinging doors he vets his
lips and shades his eyes in an en-
deavor to catch a glimpse of the
forms at the bar, why, his reform is
in no very prosperous state.
"Al1 of which is in accord with
the Self-Master idea. Indeed, while
poor weak men are continually TAX
ing things from the Colony, rugs,
tables, blankets. anything at all port
able and negotiable, and exchanging
them for drinks at Rfley's do not
know that Mr.. Floyd would like
Riley to move away. The men have
to learn to face the temptation of the
roadside saloon when they go out.
1t is perhaps we'll for them to prac-
tice on Rfley's, which thus, all I'M
! Willingly, becomes part of the Col
ony teaching apparatus"

THE COST OF SWINDLERS.

From the Andalusia (Ala.) Star.
Swindlers are one cause Of the
high cost of living. In the last two
years they are said to have taken
from American pockets by using the
mails 1929, 100000, Or IS cents a
year for each man, woman and child
in the country, counting prisoners
and lunatics. And this in spite OF
the efforts to close the mails to them.
With all the popular education there
is in this country, the numerous
warnings sent out about frauds and
the fact that the people are 'stung"
so many times it is surprising that
such a princely fortune could have
been accumulated by swindlers in
two years. Their profits rank with
those of Standard Oil and Steel.
What number Of easy marks there
must be in wide-awake, up-to-date,
shreWd United States!

sULzER HAS COLD RECEPTION.

From the Savannah News.
Former Governor Suffers recep-

him feel that he was going to play
an important part in making new
laws for the state. His entrance in
to the assembly chamber wasn't no.
ticed. He walked down the middle
aisle to the front and stood there as
if expecting that the members would
gather around him and give him a
hearty welcome. Nothing of the
kind occurred. He stood alone and
looked about him. No one offered
to shake hands with him. Practical
ly his presence was ignored, alike
by democrats, republicans and pro-
gressives. Seeing himself neglected
he walked back to the rear, where he
selected a seat among the progress
sives. He was elected as progress
sive and it is expected that he will
act with them.
In the assembly he attempted to
introduce a resolution for a state
wide investigation, an investigation
that would have helped to bring him
into the limelight again, but he was
squelched. And he'll be squelched
throughout the session. He enjoyed
his triumph over Murphy when he
was elected to the assembly. He con-
strued his election as vindication.
He had dreams probably of being
called to the gubernatorial office
again, but they will prove to be only
dreams. The people will not call
him and the politicians will give him
no chance to get back into political
prominence again. His record as a
grabber of campaign funds will bar
him from further political prefer
ment. He isn't a political martyr,
and any effort to play that role will
be failure. Apparently his public
career is virtually ended.

The Negroes Enemy
rom the Charlotte Observer.

I16 IOILC ODSCA fO1s
In the Observers opinion Booker
Washington was by long shot the
best speaker in the race betterment
crowd at the Battle Creek meet. He
talked sense, as he usually does
when giving advice to his race, and
he INDUCED in no such frivolities OF
speech as that to which the meeting
was treated by the woman who saw
the chocolate bOnbon education in
the methods of the present time.
Booker never told a greater truth
than when he said the thing the ne
gro needed most to be guarded
against is indulgence in whiskey and
drugs. The white race with its supe
rior powers of resolution and resist
ance finds this combination one po-
tent for evil. To the negro, natural
ly, needless of consequences, it is
productive of the most abject misery
and savage crime. By drugs this
negro educator meant the dope
drinks of which there are so many
and all of which are easily obtaina-
BILE. A negro with pinch Of cocaine
is more to be feared than negro
with a jug of whiskey. There could
be no better consummation for the
welfare of the colored race than the
of some movement by
which it will be saved from the two
evils against which Booker Washing
ton has raised such a solemn warn
ing.

Emotional Legislation,

Senator MARITIME of New Jersey is
one of those statesmen of the emo
tional type, who too often permit
their feelings to get the better Of
their judgment. A few days ago, in
a report submitted to the senate by
the committee that investigated the
recent Goa strike in West Virginia,
he recommended government owner
ship of the great coal properties of
the country as a remedy for coal
strikes.
AS the Savannah News says in edi-
torially discussing the report Of Sen
ator Marines committee, the wise
thing for the government to do, if it
is to endure, is to keep clear of own
ership of things that would increase
its responsibilities and it's power. We
are drifting towards Capitalization
fast enough without our emotional
statesmen giving us a push in that
direction every time a trouble of
some sort that needs a remedy de-
velops.

THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
1t is unfortunate that the proper
course to be pursued with reference
to the Philippine islands should be
a party question; but so it is. The
two old parties have differed funda-
mentally on the subject ever since
the islands came into our possession;
and now that the democrats are in
power they are gradually substitute
ing their own policy for that of the
previous administration.
In 1900 the democrats were "anti-
imperialistic." They opposed the re-
tention o. the Philippines on the
ground that it is not only costly but
unWise for the United States to gov
ern distant possessions, and also on
the broad principle, asserted in the
Declaration of Independence, that
governments derive their just pow
ers from the consent of the govern
ed" The Filipinos, they declared,
ought to be permitted to govern
themselves.
Probably few republicans deem
the possession of tle islands desira-
BILE in itself, buc they generally agree
that the fact Of possession puts a
duty upon the nation; the duty
namely, of preserving order, of de-
veloping the resources of the islands,
of educating the natives, and, in the
language of one of their national
platforms, of granting them ''the
largest measure of self-government
consistent with their welfare and our
own duties" That phase implies a
refusal to give the islands independ-
ence until the people are clearly able
to govern themselves, however dis
tant that time may be.
That, then, is the point of diver
gence between them that is leading
to so radical a change in the national
policy. 1t lies merely in their re-
spective estimates of the fitness of
the FiIipinos for self-government. To
the republican it appears obvious
that only after the lapse of one or
more generations can the guiding
hand of the American government
be safely withdrawn. To the demo
crat it is clear that the Filipinos al
ready have so much capacity for self
that the time is at hand
to let them show their fitness for in
The policy of the new administra-
ton carries out the democratic con-
ception of the situation. 1t gives
the natives their chance. Heretofore
the lower house of the legislature
has been wholly composed of Fill
pinos, elected by the natives, al
though the commission, which has
the ultimate authority, has been
mixed body, in which Americans
were> in the majority. The Wilson
administration has reconstructed the
commission, and given the majority
to the Filipinos. Republicans be-
lieve that a mistake has been made;
time will tell whether they or the
are right.

Was a Man Among Men.

AS briefly noted in the last issue
of The News. Editor Charles r. Pen

BATHING AS A MENACE.
From Health Culture.

From Health Culture.
Bathing is an acquired habit, I'M
necessary and even harmful. Cold or
hot water showers or sprays, and
any form of immersion, will be in
furious in the end. Man is an air
animal, not a water beast. A bath
tub is an enemy in the house. 1t is
expensive and adds to the toll Of
women. Bathing begets false secur-
ity against disease, weakness and in
jures the skin, extracts bodily ener-
CIV and magnetism, and entails on
society a needless habit.

Farming In The South

Some gloomy conclusions nave re-
Gently been drawn from an apparent
large increase in tenancy in South
ern agriculture as opposed to own
ership of farms by those who Guilt
yate them. This seems hardly war
ranted in view of the great agricult-
urai prosperity of the South in re-
cent years. According to census re-
ports the number of tenants in ev-
cry one hundred farmers is far
greater than thirty years ago, the in
crease ranging form seven in Ten
nessee to twenty-one in Georgia and
twenty-three in Mississippi. The
WORKOUT example of the decadence
of Rome is once more invoked by
aIarmists who see in present condi-
tions a similarity to the development
of great estates worked by landless
Iaborers who preceded the decline of
the empire.
Undoubtedly soil ownership by
those who cultivate it is the right
system to be aimed at in settled
countries, so long as the progress of
subdivision does not imply uneco-
nomic holdings In the South, how
ever, the increase in tenancy is due
to some extent 10 a back to the
land" movement looking to future
ownership, often with the necessity
of earning the purchase money.
There is land to be obtained in Geor-
gia and other Southern states at one
fifth the cost of the best farms in
Illinois and Iowa, and, under care
full management, it will produce two
to four times the acreage revenue of
the choicest and best managed farms
in the North. These lands are at
tracing capital and homeseekers,
many of whom become tenants at
first with the object of eventual pur-
chase.
One important fact in this connec-
ton is the encouragement now being
given to diversified farming in the
South. 1t has the notable effect of
revitalizing the soil, the productivity
of which has been impaired by the
constant growth of cotton. This sys-
tenn, when generally followed, will
increase enormously the production
of the South. A report of the de-
partment of agriculture for 1913
shows an increase of forty to sew
enty per cent in the acreage yield OF
corn alone over the acreage for the
last ten years, while there is seri
Gus decreasing acreage IL the plains
