in devising schedules. would be appalled,
at the task which confrouts Mr.. Lee when
he arranges the dates.
Mr.. Ebbets can handle the l5i games
called for In a National League season

by those who have Joined the colo
nization movement that attracted the
suspicion of the United States au-
thorities. The government agents
have been unable to find that the
Chief has defrauded any of his
followers, but he is looked upon with
suspicion, mainly because of the fact
that it is palpably not a practical
scheme to colonize the fever-ridden
gold coast with American negroes.
The government got first hand in
formation on this head from Consul
w. j. VERIFY of Freetown, Sierra
Leone, Africa, whose report knocks
in the head the prevalent opinion
that American negroes could return
to Africa and live happily there If the
means of transportation were provid-
ed. Said Consul VERIFY
Suffer.
"Those negroes who have come to
West Africa suffer untold misery and
are for the most part illiterate farm
ers who have, through long strug
gle, managed to save enough to pay
passage for themselves and family,
with barely enough to live on
through their first certain attack of
African malaria. Many have express
ed the choice o, prison life in Amer
lea to freedom here. In addition to
the above now and then a misguided
Independent missionary comes, suf-
fers and dies.
''Of the few American negroes who
have fonnd their way to West Africa
TO settle in Liberia SO per cent are
unprepared to meet the economic
conditions and express regret at hav-
ing left America. These, excepting a
few who cannot secure passage mon
ey, return to the United States. Some
have been assisted by the consul in
securing passage on sailing vessels
returning to America. Few, othei'
than we'll educated American ne
groes, can accommodate themselves
to the existing racial, religious and
economic conditions, the natives al
ways considering them foreigners"

HE is HUNTING A JOB.
Lieut.. Gov. O'Hara of Illinois Seek
ing Work in Textile Mills.

Lieut.. Gov. O'Hara of Illinois Seek
ing Work in Textile Mills.
Almost any mill in the east is liza
ble to receive applications for jobs
from young man and a young wo-
man within a few weeks. The SUI
perintendent should look out, for the
young man is quite likely to be Lieu
tenant Governor Barratt O'Hara, of
Illinois. He and his wife are known
to be hunting for job.
Not that Illinois has discharged it's
lieutenant governor, but that person
is seeking information first hand on
mill wage conditions and decided that
better way than asking the proprie-
tors politely would be to hire out and
see what he and his wife could earn.
They are both interested in fed
eraI minimum wage scale and will go
from New England to one of the
Southern states to repeat the expert
ment.
In the Illinois Vice Commission in
vestigation, Lieutenant Governor
OHara says, many girls testified that
they were paid only $3.50 a week and
many employers testified that they
paid girls far less than they can live
on decently. He and his wife are
both bent on lettering conditions.
Lieutenant Governor O'Hara is on
ly 80. He was elected on young
mans ticket He is a lawyer and
when nominated the opposition said
"O'Hara is a political joke" He took
that phrase for a slogan and stump
ed the state, challenging the young
voters to refute it. His argument
was that if he were political joke
all young men were. The argument
won him the state by 100000.

NEGROES PLACE AT HOME
UNCLE SAM DOES NOT APPROVE
OF COLONIZATION SCHEME.
Takes Notice of "Chief SAM" Who
Is Here From Africa Working Up
COIOnists For Black Country.

WASHINGTON.-One occasionally
hears some bushing soul express the
sentimental wish that all the negroes
might be returned to Africa. This.
in the opinion of those well meaning
persons, would settle the negro prob
lem of the South, would undo, the
wrong done to the negroes when the
slavers brought them to this country,
and would restore to their native
land the American black men, where
they, having profited by their expe-
rience in government in this country,
could build up a new republic and
gain political sovereignty.
Best Here.
1t is a very beautiful thought, but
Uncle Sam, in dealing with a recent
possible violation Of the mails, was
dealing with the facts and not theo-
ries. Consequently Uncle Sam came
to very different conclusion. The
best place for American negroes, he
decided, is in America, and not At
RIGA.
1t is a most interesting case-still
pending, by. the way, in the postoffice
department-and it has to do with
one Chief Sam of the Gold Coast" a
full-blooded African, who is endeav-
oring to gain negro recruits in Amer
lea for a Utopian colonization scheme
in Africa. Already he has attracted
the attention of many negroes, espe-
cially in Oklahoma and the South
west.
''Chief SAM" it seems is at present
cruising off the Maine coast on the
ship "Curityda," which he owns and
commands. He was recently ordered
out of New York harbor. 1t is ''Chief
Sans" plan to colonize the gold
coast of West Africa with American
negroes. In order to be eligible each
recruit must have a considerable sum
of money, since the African immigra-
ton law requires that each colonist
must have between 800 and $4OO
before he can land.
1t was the possession of this money

They say it will make the United
States ridiculous among the nations
to extend Secretary of State Bryan's
grape juice diplomacy to the navy.
When in foreign port it becomes in
cumbent on the commanding officer
to entertain the naval officers of 9TH
er countries. 1t has been the time
honored rule to pipe all hands to the
mess room and for the commanding
officer to propose the health of the
ruler of the country where the ship is
touching. The compliment is return
ed by the visitors.
The wine mess is maintained out
of the officers private funds. Any
warrant officer is eligible to become
member of the wine mess but mem
bership is purely optional. The en-
tertainment of foreign guests is paid
for by the officers themselves.
The drying up of the navy is rec
ognized as part of the wave of tenn
perance which is going over the coun-
try. Plans. are understood to be
making to have alcohol barred from
all army as well as navy reservations,
including the clubs and homes of Of
ticers on reservations. Officers
wives may not even serve punch.
Some time since Emperor William
swore off the use of even beer and
counseled less consumption of the
German national beverage in the
army and navy.
Its use in the service" says the
surgeon general in his report, lis
based only on outworn customs" He
points out that prohibition is sup
ported by public opinion.
All navies of the world have wine
mess, in which the officers buy and
consume such liquors as they see fit
with no restriction except the per-
Torrance of their official duties. The
old custom of daily allowance of
grog for the enlisted men is disap-
pearing. The United States is TAX
ing the lead in barring wine from
the ships officers. Strong liquor went
many years ago.
While naval officers do not take

an abridgement of their personal
rights, they must of course enforce
the latest order and it is safe to say
that they will survive the ordeal. The
grape juice regime is a part of the
tendency of the present administra-
ton. Secretary of State Bryan early
set an example at his first state din
ner of having a wineless menu. Sec
rotary OF the Navy Daniels followed
suit. The president allows guests at
the white house on state occasions
to use their judgment whether or not
they shall imbibe. But there has
been no such sensation in naval cir
cles in many years as the order dry
ing up the mess room.
