But in the decision rendered by the

Justice McReynolds and concurred in
by all the justices. il is held that in
the absence OF a national law a state

Reynolds holds that the movement or

not been removed: the wounded
have only had the simplest emer-

majority Of cases that come in are
gunshot wounds OF the extremities.
There are some interesting head and
spine cases and few abdominal and
chest injuries. Almost all the wounds
are infected. and the problems pre-
sented are often extremely difficult
and a great deal OF judgment is re-
quired. The great mass or work

joints. Magnificent work has been
done and legs and joints that seemed
hopeless have been saved.

WHAT TO DO DURING CLEANUP
WEEK.
By BOOKER T. AwsHINGToN.

By BOOKER T. AWSHINGTON.
1. Move out and burn up all un
necessary rubbish and all unused old
clohting and waste. Move, dust and
clean we'll all pictures, furniture,
drapery, carpeting, bedding, clothing,
cooking utensiles and all household
ware. AS far as possible, take all
the furnishings of the house into the
open air and sun them all day. If
the day set aside for cleaning up Is
cloudy or rainy, do this on the next
bright day.
2. Brush down the walls and cell
ings of all rooms; scrub and clean
thoroughly all the floors and wood
work of the house. In scrubbing the
floors, use strong lye and hot water;
in cleaning furniture and painted
woodwork, use warm water and good
soap. Do not use lye on anything
that is painted
3. Paint or whitewash the walls,
ceiling and woodwork. Then thor
oughly dry, air and sun every room,
especially the bedrooms.
A. Give careful attention to the
front and back yards, and under the
houses, as these menace the health
and comfort of your family as long
as they remain untidy. Scrape off
the worn surface dirt, level the walk
ways and paint or whitewash the
fences and house. In whitewashing,
use plenty of good lime and, to keep
the whitewash from rubbing off, add
one quart of salt to five gallons of
whitewash.
5. Repair the stable, the barn and
the henhouse. Whitewash them if you
can and see tat no fish remains in
which flies can breed.
6. Look after the springs and wells
and make sanitary the outhouses at
school houses and churches.

PROGRESSIVE COOPERATION.
By c. A. STARKS.
Chapter II.

To do these things the association
seeks the cooperation of all citizens
white or colored, in its unselfish work
of human uplift. Understood in this
manner we fail to note any possible
cause for friction between the two or
ganizations, seeing that both seek the
veal of the race. The work of each
may be peculiarly distinctive, but GER
tainly not embodying opposition, as
the masculine and feminine mind is
said to constitute completeness in the
marriage institution, so the ideas of
these two organizations combine If
fully realized, what may be termed
the colored Americans manhood.
AS local representatives, why can't
we have instances of even public
demonstration of good will among peo-
pie who form the membership of both?
We have the president of the local
league, member of the local asso-
citation, likewise the president of the
association is a member of the local
league. This is also true of many of
the lay members who hold member
ship in both. This should teach the
public that both organizations are
held in esteem and should preclude
fhe common conception that the two
are opposed. We repeat that their
work is distinctly eand add that what
rivalry may exist should he in the di-
rection of efficiency and also that
members discard the spleen venting
against the personnel of one or the
other body. Learn to give an insti-
tuition the best there is in you. Keep
your narrowness, nobody else wants
it. If you have aught against your
brother, go to him and settle it per
sonally, and don't burden other peo-

pie with your trubles. Learn to criti-
else and not condemn so much.
Now there is difference between
condemnation and criticism. Con-
demnation carries with an adverse as
well as a final solution or verdict
from tire one that condemns; whereas
criticism rightly practiced, admits
freely Of cause and effect; it praises
here and censures there. 1t is the
great lever by which isturned on and
off the pruning knife of reason, it
is at once the prosecutor that pushes
the case against the defendant and
the judge that either Furnishes or ex-
onerates. Let us have criticism of
ourselves and others; it will do us
good, but in doing so let US strive
to temper it with justice and even
kindness. Cooperation and not lead
ership is the watchword of the uor,
but locally, If anyone can lead us Co
operation we will gladly follow. Where
can we find cooperation? This ques-
tion continually propounds Itself to ALL
The plain discords in the Church"
~ Siy Outs II 10 NV III AiiOs
And the lodges often by mismanage-
ment, proclaim: II have 1t not" Co
operation can be found by a little
honest effort on the part of even
few. Let these two organizations un-
der discussion set colored Kansas
Cityans an example by working har-
moniously to elevate the race. We
even suggest joint meeting now and
then in order to devise ways to work
for the general uplift of the people.
The association could advertise and
patronize the league members in their
business and the league could aid in
supporting the association / nits ef-
fort to protect the citizens Of color
from unjust legislation. This would
be bringing up both sides in a spirit
of real cooperation and neither or
ganization would lose one iota of its
fundamentally. We need only one
step in this direction to effect what
We believe to be progressive cooper
alton. Vote on it.
