A. j. X: The most economical and
best wearing paint for any interior wallis
is white lead and oil. White lead can DO
aattcd for interior painting with turpen-
tine. This can be readily wished but
II high gloss paint is desired we would
suggest that white lead and iinseed oil
be used as follows: One hundred pounds
of white lead, four and one-halr gallons
of raw oil. one pint of turpentine, and
one pint OF turpentine drier. All calci-
mined walls should be washed, IL possible,
and sized with glue, paying particular
attention to any loose parts which cannot
DO loosened upwhen repaintlng. For this
particular wall. which has been sized with
gloss oil and calclmIned, II 1t has been
calcImined but once 1t will be enough TO
wash off the calclinine; the formula rec
commended above will give the full gloss
finish.

Alabama's 100000 Deficit

Let US glance for a moment at GER
tain facts which have recently forced
themselves into prominence without the
aid of prohibitionists or anti-prohibi-
tionists: Alabama is now struggling
with a deficit of about $3,O0O,OOO,
which appears to be the result of pro-
hibition. To bring the municipal con-
ditions, in concrete form, into plain
review, we will cite the city of Birm-
ingham. This city, according to an
editorial published in the Survey of
September, 1915, has discontinued its
STRENGTHENING and garbage collection.
1t has dispensed with its health officer,
city physician and market inspector,
extinguished half the lights, cut the
school term from nine to seven months,
and reduced by 10 percent the salaries
of teachers, who were receiving over
SIS a month. 1t has discontinued one
third of its police force, and put the
remainder on a twelve-hour shift. 1t
has closed several fire stations, stopped
every cent of its appropriations to hos
pitfalls, children's homes and charities,
and reduced by one-third the allowance
for the maintenance of parks. In
short, the city has cut its expenses
$340, 900. 1t was compelled to make,
this cut because it costs the city
81 ,22s, 629 a year to operate, and only
1896, $50 was available.
Then again more people are engaged
in the production of illicit liquor in
Alabama than ever before, despite the
earnest efforts of the secret-service of
icials to stamp it out. There were 179
illicit distilleries seized and destroyed
in 1906; in 1914, the number had risen
to 30s.

Nashville's 1887, 900 Bonds

Nashville, in particular, has been
plunged into serious financial trouble.
Without submitting the question to a
vote of the people the city sold bonds
in the sum of $685., 900 to make up a
deficit brought about largely by the
cutting off of privilege licenses money
formerly paid by liquor sellers. This
fact, joined with muddled municipal
matters, led to a motion on the part
of certain citizens and taxpayers to
have a receiver appointed for the city.
The motion was granted in the court
of chancery, but was reversed by the
higher courts on the grounds that no
law existed by which a municipality
could be thrown into receivership.
The enforcement of the law in Ten
nessee has made vacant more than 600
business houses in the four largest
cities of the State, and IS per cent of
them are vacant today. They formerly
yielded to their owners an average
monthly income of $50. Thus it will
be seen that there is an economic loss
to these property owners of about
100000 year.

THE NEGRO FELLOWSHIP
LEAGUE
Conference on the Campbell Case

Joseph Campbell having been denied
a new trial and sentenced to hang, The
Negro Fellowship League will hold a
conference next Sunday, March II, at
four O'Clock in the afternoon at the
Reading Room, 3OO5 State Street. All
are cordially invited to be present to
determine what action the Colored
people of Chicago will now take. Every
club who has any race pride in Chi
cago is urged to send representatives
to this meeting.
The meeting last Sunday was very
interesting. Aside from the regular
program, the League had an excellent
address from Mr.. R. A. Abbott, editor
of the Defender, which was very much
enjoyed. Mr.. Abbott told of the strug-
giles made by the paper to save the
race, and of the support of the people
and the work it intended to do. Mr..
Cary B. Lewis also made an excellent
address.

Crime Cost Doubled

1t was boldly stated before the law
was passed that the saloon was the
cause of crime and that once it was
extinguished the police force of the
State would be greatly reduced; but
the results have not borne out this
theory. There have been so many
violations of the prohibition law, and
so varied were the surreptitious meth
DDS employed, that in Nashville,
Memphis and Chattanooga it has been
found that if the law was to be even
partially enforced a much larger police
force was necessary. The employment
of these extra policemen and a greatly
increased cost of criminal prosecution
has about doubled the State and
municipal expense for dealing with
crime since prohibition went into effect.
Illicit distilleries have abounded in
Tennessee as in other Southern prohibit
ton states. In the year 1906 there
were but 81 establishments of this kind
seized, while in 1914, 249 were
destroyed.

IS, 500,0Oo Bonds for Georgia

For lack of funds Georgia has been
compelled to hold up the salaries of
school teachers, and recently has had
to place an additional $3,500,OOO bond
issue on the market. Several cities and
counties of Georgia, however, derive
considerable revenue from licensing
beer saloons, otherwise the deficit
would be still larger.
Prohibition in Georgia has been the
means of stimulating the illicit sale of
intoxicants on a scale never before ex-
perienced. There were 500 illicit dis
tilleries, seized in 1914 as against 373
in 1906.
In Louisiana statistics were compiled
from which it was estimated that the
receipts and expenditures of the State
government would result in deficit be-

TO STAGE MASSIVE RACE
PICTURE

Kansas City, Mo. (Special.)-A mo-
ton picture depicting the American
Colored man from the earliest days
when he was a barbarian in Africa.
down through American history and a
great dream of the future, is the idea
of A. A. Anderson, a Colored man, who
has written a scenario for such a pro-
duction and now is organizing a COM
pany to produce it.
In the film all of the actors will be
Colored people and Anderson said he
could secure all he needed in Kansas
City. His idea is to have a picture on
the order of the "Birth of Nation"
in its massiveness. He said several
hundred persons would be used in the
cast. BY means of the picture he hopes
to show the advancement and develop
ment of the race and at the same TIME
arouse in him an ambition for the
future.
Anderson is getting the company to-
gether and will start rehearsals at
once. The Heart of American Film
Corporation will begin taking the pic
lures next month.

About one thousand people were
present and joined in the dancing, and
many others bought tickets who were
not present. 1t was financial success,
as four or five hundred dollars was
realized for the Home. A detailed
statement as to the exact amount will
appear in the next issue of this paper.

Cleveland, Ohio.-"Finance," the
well-known Financial Journal, prints
dispassionate article reviewing South
ern conditions and pointing out some
of the difficulties now being met with
in those regions below Mason and
Dixon's line. Matters seem in a bad
way, revenues are falling fast, and of
course the Colored people will be the
first to suffer, as only meager sums are
now appropriated for Negro education
and for Negro uplift. What the future
portends in these directions only the
future can reveal The article in "Fi-
nance" in part only, says:
Without being active participants in
the cause of prohibition, and holding
no brief for the liquor interests, many
representative citizens of this section
are to-day trying to figure out the net
results, both financial and moral, of the
prohibition laws which have been in
operation for the past few years In
some of the Southern states. They
have not requested information on the
subject from men who are interested
in breweries or distilleries, nor have
they appealed to leaders in the past
temperance crusades for facts pertain
ing to the results of this new Southern
experiment. On the contrary, they
have sought light on the question from
the only unprejudiced source-offieials
who receive and disburse moneys of
the municipalities and the states.

So it is up to the Individual voters.
They can split the vote thru personal
affiliations and find themselves out on
three strikes with the privilege Of vot-

THE REPUBLICAN FAMILY AFFAIR.

AS the primary approaches it be-
comes more and more evident to politi-
cal observers that the showdown on
the governnorship is between Cosson
and Harding with Allen as a third
element not unlikely to be the ladder
upon which Harding may climb to the
nomination. The matter has been dis
cussed plainly enough. The situation
is evident. The division in the ma
jority If it continues may very easily
defeat the majority of Iowa republic
cans to the advantage of a minority
simply thru the weakness that keeps
voters in line for a candidate ad-
mittedly not to be nominated.
1t is now up to the voters. The tenn
perance organizations that have made
choice have chosen Cosson-because
Cosson can be nominated more than
thru any distrust or dislike for either
Allen or KuehnIe. They recognize the
situation. Their conclusion is that VIZ
can win with Cosson or lose to Har-
ding. So they cleave to the strongest
man and propose to vote as they have
worked and prayed and contributed
thru long years of struggle for clear
and law enforcing Iowa. 81 .-~

WE OUGHT TO HELP CLEAN HOUSE

The United States went into Mexico
for Villa with the consent of the Mex
can government, such as it is. 1t

out Villa with or without the consent

The expedition has been an expen-
sive one. Its cost will run to goodly
number of millions. 1t was not Of
course sent in TO capture a single BAN
dit but to make an example that would
stop handittins as a pleasing diversion
along the border. The expedition was
TO be an object lesson Mexico If it

sent The effort and the cost Of il will,
have been worse than wasted
The Vera Cruz expedition might bet
ter have been extended to the City OF
Mexico. As it was it failed unless to
hasten the flight Of Huerta 1t estab-
lished 70 order. Since then Villa has
descended from his comma ndership of
government armies TO the plane of a
bandit and fugitive with a price on
his head. Carranza has been de facto
president of an administration which
has failed to administer and whose
president fears to enter the capital or
trust himself in the principal port lest
he be made away by those who crave
power Real order in Mexico is as far
away as when Diaz fled
The United States troops should stay
n Mexico until some semblance of or
der is restored there. 1t should deal
with the situation as il affects this
continent, ourselves and the MexIca ;,
people and not with tribal chiefs each
with his alleged army. Mexico as Mex
leo does not exist. Provincial chiefs
and fololwings constitute Mexico. 1t is
in the condition of the Scottish High
lands with their clans warning upon
each other but lacking the intelligence
and courage of the highlanders And
it IS plague spot on this continent
and a dangerous neighbor.
We ought not to fizzle out of Mexico.
On the contrary now that we are there
we should stay and help clean house.
