THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Saws Miss Mamie IT Rurrouobe


The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part of
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard of the life of the
masses is the only solution.
AS with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about reform the woman
hood of the race must be taught
how to instruct their children in
those virtues, that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro is by nature religious and
therefore moral. He is both; but he
is not enough of either when it comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because of his crude
conception of what the Christian re-
ligion really is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another.
Often the foremost woman in the
church is so far from a model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This .misrepresenta-
ton of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman
is combination of ALL She allows
beer drinking, card playing, and rag
time music in her home. She is loose
in her. conversation. Her language is
often smutty. Her demeanor be-
comes a woman of the street. Her
home is a hangout for sliding elders"
and loafing, hungry preachers. Her
house is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to be men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are therefore, the freshest things in
the neighborhood. They run the
church. They sit in the front heat,
chew gum, talk and keep their gang"
giggling To speak to them is to
throw a match into a magazine of
powder.
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters, get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers. They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren of too many of those who aspire
to leadership in our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence of their mothers and
give our churches all kinds of trouble.
What we need is a new type of
women in our homes as mothers,
and a new type of women in our
churches as leaders and examples for
the young.
The wig wearing, gum chewing,
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neglecting, convention
fever type of women are out of style,
and from them may we soon be de-
livered.

The Value of The Christmas Seal.

The State Superintendent of Educa-

the feeling of Educationalists general

II recognize the educational value
of the Christmas Seal" Said Mr.
Schultz. at follows the very best
principle of our modern educational
methods by supplying definite thing
to which we can tie the information
we impart. Simple as it is, the
Christmas Seal is the greatest educa-
tional device to spread the knowledge
of tuberculosis, its cause and especial
ly its prevention that has yet been
thought of. To every school child
in our great North Star State the
Christmas Seal brings its message
something to understand, someone tc
help, a great evil to be overthrown

Association every success in it's ener.

means in abolishing this terrible dis.
ease from our schools, our homes and
our people. We know the work Of
this association in direct education
and what it has done already in other
lines to aid us in teaching public
health to our pupils. God speed tc
it in this bigger field the teaching
of the whole population how to es.

CRAP SHOOTERS
FIGHT At HURLOCKl
''Snap" Williams Shot by Alva
Church as The Result of Crap
Game And Bad Whiskey-Load
OF Shot Takes Effect in Breast
Without Causing Serious Wound.

AS the direct result of an argu-
ment over a crap game, and the in
direct result of drinking too much
whiskey, which undoubtedly made
both of the parties quarrelsome, a
negro known as "Snap" Williams
was shot in the breast yesterday
morning by another negro named
Alva Church, the shooting being
done with a shot gun, and the full
charge of shot taking effect in Will
liams without, apparently, seriously
injuring him.
Church, who bears a rather bad
reputation, made his escape, and
UP to this time has not been ap-
pretended, although the authorities
feel quite confident of catching him.
According to the reports received
concerning the shooting, the two
men had been drinking, and after
starting a crap game, a quarrel
arose over the game, and Church
picked UP his gun, deliberately aim
ed at Williams, and fired. That
Williams was not instantly killed
seems due either to the fact that
the gun or she'll was defective, or
that he was standing too close to
Church when the shooting occurred.
His condition is not considered
dangerous by the attending phy-
sician, although the wound is quite
painful and is likely to keep him
indoors for quite little while.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cur
ed by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Sept. 21.-George
Moss, thirty years old, who was CON
victed of an attack on Annie Brogan,
thirteen years old, was sentenced by
Judge Peter O'Bolye to serve not more
than fifteen nor less than twelve years
in the eastern penitentiary, and to
pay a fine OF $1,000 and the costs Of
prosecution.
In passing sentence Judge O'Boyle
declared that he regretted that the
crime of which Moss was convicted
was not punishable by death.
''The regrettable part Of 1t all" said
the Judge, "is that the law of our
state does not permit such as you to
be executed. Death should be your
punishment, not Imprisonment"
