AS we stated in the Pioneer Press
several weeks ago, the opportunities
for Negroes along industrial lines
are many and varied. This condi-
ton ensues because Of the fact that
the great influx of foreigners to our
shores has been decreased to a very
appreciable extent. traceable, of
course, to the great war now rag
ing throughout the greater portion
of Europe. What our men of in
fluence should do in view of the
favorable conditions that attach to
working chances now, Is to i'm
press upon colored men the abso-
lutte necessity, (if they would servo
themselves we'll, of proving them :
selves thoroughly reliable, apt and
intelligent. BY doing as suggest
ed, they can hold what they have
gained industrially, and get into
fields Of labor which ia times past
have been closed against them
Colored men, the opportunity is
yours, now the only injunction we
can impose upon you is to take ad-
vantage of it.

In Last Year, 772 Crazy People
We're Admitted to Three Hos

plain Phenomenon In "Star"
Prohibition State, Noted For
"BootIegging,' Drunkenness
and Other LaWIessness

NdISdS, the star pTOnlDltlOn state,
is oft in the public eye Stories of
drunkenness, moonshining and boot
Logging in that state are varied by
this. from the Topeka State Journal:
Insanity has increased nearly IA per
cent in Kansas in the last year. That
was the statement issued today by
Senator j. w. Howe, secretary for the
State Board of Control. The report
shows admission of 772 new insane
patients to the hospitals of Topeka.
Osawatomie and Parsons in the last
year as compared with record of GIL
new cases for the year ending June
80, 1915.
The Howe report shows a total Of
4,311 inmates of the institutions under
the boards management Of these,
3,O16 are In the Topeka, Osawatomie
| and Larned hospitals, with 525 in the
Parsons hospital and $50 in the Win
field hospital. There were ISL inmates
OF the state orphans home, Atchison.
when the report was compiled. June
| 80.
The Astonishing Record.
One Of the really startling features
of the report Is the tremendous in.
crease in the number Of cases of in
sanity. The record Of the Topeka
state hospital shows that institution
| handled sixty more new insane pa
tlents than a year ago. The record
| for Osawatomie showed a slight de-
cline, while the report Of insane pa
tients received at Parsons shows an
| increase of $50 per cent. In the year
ending June 80, 1915, the Parsons hos
! pital received 33 new insane patients.
while in the year just ended the total
reached 80.
Reports from the Topeka hospital
! show total Of 410 new cases during
| the year just ended as against $50 last
year. The years record at Osawato-
mic was 282 new patients as against
2SS the previous year The Parsons
| hospital-intended originally as an in
| stitution for the case Of epileptics-
received 80 insane patients during the
year, as against 33 the previous year.
| Increase in ImbecilIty.
| Increase in the number Of imbeciles
received at Winfield showed an even
greater record than the increase in in
sanity. The increase for Winfield
! during the year was slightly more
than so per cent. In the year just
ended, Winfield received 100 new
cases as against g the previous
twelve months
In all institutions except Osawato-
mie the number Of new male patients
greatly exceeded females. Topeka
hospital received 248 male patients.
Parsons received 50 males and
25 females. Winfield's record was IS
males and 35 females. At Osawato-
mie 1872 males and $50 females were
received. The total for the institu-
lions during the year was $40 males
and 372 females.
| Topeka state hospital is far in the
lead Of other state institutions in the
number Of patients treated. The re-
port shows II ,656 patients in the To-
peka hospital as against 1,348 at Osa-
watomie, 11S at Larned, $50 at Par.

Martial Rule Necessary Be-
cause Citizens of Prohibition

Adopted BY Legislature and
Not the People Small Town
DefieS Authorities

half million dollars worth OF
liquor has just been connscated in
Alabama and because public sentiment
is against such action by the state au-
thorities, the militia has been placed
IN control Of the situation at Girard.
a "wide-open" city. Alabama repealed
her prohibition law in 1912. In 1915,
the legislature made the state dry"
again. which accounts for the public
distaste for the dry" law
The ensuing is an Associated Press
dispatch from Columbus, Ca, to the
Nashville Tennesseean:
The militia has taken charge of
the situation In Girard, Ala. where
special deputies under NJ. S. Baughan.
or Atlanta, special law agent for the
Encouragement Of Alabama raided
twelve places and confiscated MANY
thousand dollars worth Of LIQUOR held
IN violation Of the Alabama prohibition
laws.
VIII Resume Raids.
The raids which began early in the
day after special train carving
twenty-five deputies arrived from
Montgomery, were discontinued. Thew
probably will continue for week. &C.
cording to Special Agent Baughan.
Great crowds filled the streets OF
Girard. town of 5000 people. The
crowds tnterfered somewhat with the
raiders and the Opelika guardsmen
we're brought to Girard to assist
IN keeping order and guarding the
confiscated liquor. Two companies
at Montgomery were ordered held in
readiness to proceed to Girard at a
moments's notice, according to Baugh.
an. The company at Union Springs
and another at Troy, also were order.
ed ready for service.
Mayor w. E. Morgan, Of Girard. this
afternoon appointed large number of
special police and instructed them to
protect the property Of Girard citizens
Special Agent Baughan instructed his
men to arrest any one who interferred
with their work.
Three hundred barrels Of whiskv
were found and seized in one place in
Lower Girard. In a farmhouse five
miles from Garard a stock of liquor ca.
timated by Baughan to be worth $780,
600 was seized. Two men guarding
the liquor attempted to draw pistols.
but were disarmed by the deputies.
They were released, but later Baughan
ordered their arrest. They have not
been apprehended.
Liquor Is Guarded.
The raiding was carried out svs.
tematically. Every suspected building
was searched thoroughly, and when.
ever contraband liquor was found a
guard Of five men was left to prevent
1t being carried away. The liquor was
shipped to an unknown destination.
1t was said that detectives
have been working in Girard for some
time and that the attorney generals
men had information which made
much Of their work comparatively
easy.
Girard has been known as wide
OPEN town, despite Alabama's prohibi.
ton laws, which are very stringent. II
it said that many thousands of dollars
worth Of liquor, some estimates plac-
ing the amount as high as $500 900.

ACTON MILL TO Be RUNNING ON
OLD FOX PROPERTY BY OCT. |

is expected here early next week to
begin work on the elevator, which will
be rushed to completion within the next
three weeks. Owing to the nece s-it~
of getting this building up in the
shortest possible time the contract was
awarded to outside bidders but the
contract for the mill building has not
yet been let and may possibly go to
local contractors. Manager Meyer re-
turned this week from a trip to Walla
Walla and states that the order has
been paced for all of the new mill and
elevator and that same will be on the
ground by the time the buildings are
ready to receive it. Practically all of
the machinery and equipment in the old
mill will be utilized in the new one and
blue prints will be received in a few
days showing the location of all the
machinery in both mill and elevator.
Besides the old machinery and equip
ment, more than $1,000 worth of new
machinery has been purchased and it is
claimed the new mill will be one of the
most economical and perfectly equipped

MARSHALL LAKE MINING DIS
TRICT rs ENJOYING A BOOM
AT PRESENT-S25O,OO BLOCK
ED OUT ON FOX PROPERTY.

Mat Gilbert received a letter this
week from John G. Fox of Burgdorf,
Idaho, in the Marshall Lake mining dis
trict giving some news as to the work
in that district. Mr.. Fox disposed of
his property in that district last fall
to Holt, who is now in charge of opera
tions and directing the work. Two
thousand dollars has been expended
this summer in building road to the
mine. Machinery is going over this
for the mill. At the present time $780,
600 in ore is blocked out by estimate OF
close sampling AMI assays. There are
about 700 tons on the dump ready for
milling, and from the assays made it
is sufficient to pay the purchase price
of the mine.
Holt is installing a forty ton capa-
city Lane mill and the mill will be
running by the first of October. One
hundred tons of freight was ON the
way in at the time the letter was dated
August 9th and the greater part of the
machinery has arrived.
The ledge is feet in width in some
places. There is break in the face
of the lower tunnel but this will cause
no difficulties. There is a large amount
of very high grade ore in the lower
workings, and Mr.. Fox is satisfied that
by Christmas the mill will have paid
large returns.
A saw mill is running now saving
lumber for buildings. Sam Gerber and
Dan Roy are taking out some high
grade ore on their property. Lopez
Wilcox are putting in two stamp mil
and have it on the ground now. 1t will
soon be ready for milling.
