vaccination and Iron Images of
Christ Powers To
stop Disease.


ATHENS. Greece, July 25-The
epidemic Of infantile paralysis
In New York IS rivalled by an cpl
demic of smallpox In Athens that is
taking u heavy toll OF both children
and adults in the city proper and in
Piraeus, the port of Athens. Incl
dentally. Greek ships arriving from
Alexandria report the spread of the
bubonic plague IN Egypt, and cholera
mas broken out I'm the island Of Cas-
telloriza, due to the arrival Of refguees
from Asia Minor A quarantine has
been established between the island
and the ports Of Greece.
The epidemic of smallpox In Athens
has resulted in compulsory vaccIna-
ucn or rcvaccination, but 1t Is diff
cult 10 carry cut the orders as the
supply of vaccine is limited and the
movement Of the demobiized troops
into the interior makes It difficult TO
combat the spread of the disease.
The remarkable feature OF the cpl
demic is tho reliance that Is being
placed upon the efficacy of one Of
the sacred ikons, or images Of Christ
The ikon of st. Barbara Of Nicomedia,
In Asia Minor, has been brought with
every pOmp and circumstance from
the ancient church Of tho convent Of
Daphni. near Athens, and set up In
the church of Chryssospiliotissa In
the quarter where the smallpox Is
taking its heaviest toll.

Wilson Admits II.
But don't take my word for Il.
Hear what DR.. Clarence True Wilson,

say on this point. / quote from his
DRY or DIE, at page Sc, thus:
Prohibition deals with the traffic
in liquors 1t says that one shall not
sell, or make for sale. not that one
shall not make 1t for himself and use
1t himself. Under prohibition law,
anyone has the right to set up q little
kitchen distillery and make his own
. whisky as he bakes his own bread.
Vhe personal right is undisputed. The
nlht to traffic alone is interfered

prohibition understand this? / won
der how many who vote against pro-
hibition understand It?
This is really only going back to
conditions as they were In this coun-
try during the last half OF the eigh-
teenth century. when American farm
ers made their own cider and apple
jnck and lent their own stills around
to one another. 1t is only going
back to conditions as they were
hundred years ago In northern Eu-
rope. when domestic stills" were the
fashion throughout Russia. Finland
and all the Scandinavian countries.
In 1909 this method of distilling was
introduced into Sweden, and distill-
eyes so multiplied that In 1884 their
lumber was estimated at 10000 In q
Population OF three millions. In some
places every third or fourth house
was little distillcry.
Domestic Distilling.

all the strong drinks they want from

Temperance reformers frequently
refer to The Drink Problem" and
Solving the Drink Problem. But a
dilisent search through a number OF
their standard works fails to disclose
any clearcut statement showing what
they really mean when they use the
term. Even Doctor Dorchester's ex-
cellent work, The Liquor Problem in
All Ages, makes no attempt to de-
fine what the problem is The truth
Is there Is no common agreement
among the self-styled reformers as TO
what they are really trying to doA
what they hope to accomplish in the
end. They are going to reform the
drinking customs of the country. but
in what condition they expect to leave
the country after they get through

driving alcohol from off the face of

or doing some other equally improb-
able and often impossible thing,

Black Troopers of the 10th Cavalry

this play a Scandal on the American
soldier, black and white. Most
theatrical managers display the Stars

from patriotic Americans, and their
own patriotism often ends, where
their dollars begin. Some would
libel the Holy Virgin for box office

LAST MAN STAGGERS IN FROM
CARRIZAL, WOUNDED
BUT HAPPY,
Corporal F. x. Cooke, Captured
After Hours of Wandering,

By MARK S. WATSON.


Ell Paso, Texas, July 4.-There was
a joyous reunion among the Negro
troopers at Fort Bliss, when another
OF the shattered K. troop, Tentl.
cavalry, stepped wearily out of ar
army ambulance and into the post
hospital for treatment of his broken
arm. Corporal F. x. Cooke, he was
and his sufferings since the slaughter
at Carrizal appear to have been keener
than those of his fellows who lived
to tell of the disaster.
Cooke was returned to the United
States without special demand from
Washington and with the ceremon,
which attended the return last Thurs.

When he left the ranchhouse Cooke
was caught by Mexican soldiers and
carried to Villa Ahumada. Presum-

Trevino, he was put aboard a train
and carried to Juarez for delivery to
the American forces.
Two more of the luckless Boyd

exhaustion. They were picked up by
the relief force and brought by way
of Columbus.
Cavalrymen who left Fort Bliss
and went in pursuit of the Fort Han

Elting of the Eighth cavalry decided
it was futile to search for the small
band which stole three horses from
the camp.

ROOSEVELT LEADS, WE FOL-
LOW.

The Twin City Star, which has been
considered as the leading Negro
newspaper of the Progressive Party,
and an enthusiastic supporter of
Col. Theodore Roosevelt and his
policies, continues to follow his lead.
We heartily accept the advice of
Americas greatest citizen, and will
support the regular presidential nom-
inee of the Republican National Con-
vention, Hon. Chas. E. Hughes, and
do what we can for the success of the
Republican ticket. We are not in
accord with the entire platform of the
party. The suffrage question, as a
States Rights measure, will not give
the Negro women of the South a
right to vote. We are against any
program giving State a right to
override the Constitution. We had
hoped to see some plank in it's plat
form recommending legislation to
make Lynching a Federal Crime"
We cannot get our constitutional
rights under State Sovereignty, and
must rely on Federal legislation and
enforcement for our protection. The
Republican party has done more for
us than any other party and we must
overcome it's evils with its good; still
contending for right and protesting
against wrong-believing in Divine
Providence and thankful that Col.
Roosevelt has accomplished his ulti-
mate purpose, which was also his
prophecy-that he would drive out of
the Republican party, those who cor
rupted the principles of the party.
We regret the loss of friend, of
cur race on the Supreme Bench. by
the resignation of Justice Hughes
which gave Pres. Wilson an oppor-
tunity to appoint Democrat-and
fate may decree that by his appoint
ment we may have a Justice White
or Justice Harlan. Though Demo-
Gratis they were honest interpreters
of the law and spirit of the Consti-
tuition. 1t is up to the Negro to be
loyal to himself and the door of hope
will soon open to him. We have
awaited orders and willingly obey the
requests of Col. Roosevelt, who led
us into the Progressive Party in 1912,
and we return to the Republican
ranks under the same leadership and
convictions. Let the slogan be
Hughes and Fairbanks must win"
and now that the Progressives have
accomplished their purpose, we ex-
pect a large following, and a return
to the Grand Old Party, for its Sue
cess in November next.
