NATIONAL DEGENE RACY.
Lincoln Abhorred Oppression
and Despised Hypocrisy.

The speech of Abraham Lin
coin In 1855 regarding the polit-
zeal situation and the tendency
to disregard the rights Of human
beings to life. liberty and the
pursuit of happiness is striking
) II applicable to the condition of
affairs In this country at the
present time.
Mr.. Lincoln said:
Il am not a Know Nothing
that is certain. How could be?
How can any one who abhors
the oppression Of the Negroes
be in favor Of degrading classes
Of white people? Our progress
in degeneracy appears to me to
be pretty rapid As a nation we
began by declaring that all men
are created equal
I'VE now practically read it.
All men are created equal ex-
cept Negroes When the Know
Nothings get control 1t will read.
All men are created equal ex-
cept Negroes and foreigners and
CathOlics.'
"When 1t comes to- that
should prefer emigrating to some
country where they make no
pretense Of loving liberty-to
Russia. for instance. where des-
potism can be taken pure and
without the base alloy Of hypoc-
risy."

New Movement For Race Segregation.
There has recently been some talk
Of appointing capable physicians of our
race as health officers in the larger
cities to administer to the needs Of the
colored population exclusively. The
idea does not meet the general approx
al Of the race. and we believe that few
reputable physicians among the color
ed people would accept an appointment
with segregation as its chief object.
The fact that the colored race does not
want any special recognition of the
kind mentioned ought to be well known
to public officials at this stage of our
progress and citizenship. In all mat
tiers Of public service, conveyance and
comfort the colored people simply want
that which Is due them in common
with all the other races which make up
our country's citizenship.

AUTOMOBILE TIRES
ADVANCING IN PRICE
Manufacturers Putting Into
Effect Schedule Of Increases
Averaging 10 Per Cent.

Leading manufacturers OF automo-
bile. motorcycle and truck tires. and
other automobile rubber accessories
are putting into effect throughout the
country a schedule of advances in
prices averaging 10 per cent.
The reason assigned for the al
vance Is the increased cost OF raw
materials entering into the manufac-
ture of tires. particularly raw rubber
and cotton. The difficulty in Obtain
ing raw rubber. the supply of which
Is practically controlled by Great
Britain. has sent the price or that
commodity. according to local rep
resentatives of tire manufacturers.
soaring from 80 to 40 cents per pound
in the last sixty days
This is the first general change in
tire prices since last February. when
the leading manufa cturers reduced
their prices approximately 221H per
cent. The demand for tires during the
past year was so great that several
companies could not All their orders.
The consequence Is that there Is at
present, the dealers say. no overstock:
The b. +. Goodrich Company and
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com :
pany, made q general advance OF 10
per cent, while the Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company. made still further
advance on special sizes of tires and
tubes. The Kelly-Springfield Tire
Company inausurated it's advance

Would Multiply Boards.

would MULTIPLY boards.
THE passage OF this bill would only
multiply boards" declared J. w. Binder.
who is leading the fight OF the motion
picture men against the bill
when this bill had been introduced,
asked this specific question Of Gov
ernors Capper of Kansas and Brum-
baugh Of Pennsylvania, both States that
have State censor boards: II the Fed
eral Government enacts a censorship
law covering motion pictures would your
State accept Its findings and abolish
your local board?"
IF the Federal Government censors
pictures in line with Kansas ideas, the
leg stature might repeal the State law.
AT present Kansas cannot accept rulings
OF outside boards wired Governor Cap
per.
Pennsylvania prefers to maintain
its own censorship of motion pictures.
Is the answer made by Governor Brum-
baugh.
Helen Varick Boswell. OF New York
city. chairman Of the committee on Ed
ucation Of the General Federation OF
Womens Clubs Of the United States.
and president of the Women's Forum OF
New York city. said:
This commission would be forced to
sit on one horn or another of a dilemma.
Either it would be so liberal that the
PERSONS creating 1t would rebel or 1t
and towns would laugh It out of court.
It is impossible to criticise films both for
the mature and the immature. Chill
Gren's pictures must be selected and ex-
plans and not by censorship. The pa
rents of the land have sh'rked their
duty. heretofore, and have given a fool
ish liberty to their children. 1t is their
responsibility. not that Of the nation,
to formulate safeguards.
Blames the Parents.
Mrs. Howard S. Cans. president OF the
Federation for Child Study of New
York, said:
"Parents have been crimnally negli-
gent in their attitude toward motion
PICTURES. Thor" Is no short cut or trans
ference of responsibility. The same
thought which has been given to chill
drCns plays in the theater, to the liter
aturC of youth. and to the games Of
childhood must be given by parents to
rarnessing and using the motion picture
giants"
From the Edison laboratory Of
Orange, MI. came the following terse
tclegram:
We are opposed to the principle OF
all Governmental censorships."
Rcv Thomas Dixon, jr. noted author
rites: IF | write a book no censor
ship board asks TO see the proofs II /
convert the same ideas to play ana
keep within the bounds Of decency pro-
vded by the common law no censor can
interposc his y forbid. Get rid Of this
censorship nLgaboo and let the motion
picture realiz, the brilliant future be-
fore it,"
David TIorsley. of Los Angeles. Cal,
tclegra phS: Il protest vigorously
against the tearing down or hampering
of the wonderful! work being carried for
warl by motion pictures through pro-
f'ssionnl rcformers who will no doubt
carry their reform ideas into the next
world when they go and sit around crit
icising the quality of the coal instead
of doing their share Of the shoveling.
