The Cleveland, O.. Gazette calls at
tcntiOn To the open letter Of Rev. Geo.
Wilson Brent of Madison. n. j.. ask
ing President Wilson to disnpprove
The sentence OF death imposed upon
the co.orcd troopers by Il court mar
tial at For, Sam. Houston, Texas.
This matter should be agitated until
Il decision one way or the other is
obtained. There has been enough
blood letting in Texas and with the
record now being made by colorcd
troops in France, to execute these
men would be one Of the most glar
ing miscarriagcs of justice ever per
pctratcd in this country.
If President Wilson can set aside
death sentences in France, where act
ual war conditions exist, certainly
he will do so in this civilized land
where we all are as prone to err as
the sparks are to fly upward. Let us
all unite in this appeal to the end that
even justice may be tempered with
mercy. It should not be forgotten that
not single policc-officc who was
responsible for the riot has been pun
ishcd and that conditions in Houston
emphasize the fact that the outbreak
was the result of smoldcr.ng injustice
cs of many months standing.

The right to own carries with 1t the

House or has the National Baptist

any money into it either. 1t would
seem then that both are deficient in
this respect. If neither of the bodies

has done so?
Rev. DR.. Boyd says that he has
done so or rather that he and his

estimate for oats is 1928 1885,, 900 bushels,

1917. AS to barley the report indicates
a production of 43 1853 900 bushels COM

The estimate for fax is 2,5O7 900

The potato crop is estimated at 3d.

be four fold: First, adding about
fifteen million pounds of wholesome,

Second, saving approximately seventy
thousand tons of poultry feeds; Third

an opportunity to apply the instruc-

" Newspaper Subscriptions.

The government is now trying to
save paper by requiring publishers to
discontinue the mailing Of newspapers
to subscribers who do not pay up. It
was amusing a few years ago to see
how people fused when the govern
ment began to deny the usual pound
rates on papers that were not paid for.
Many newspapers kept standing a
notice that the post office made this
by mail.
But many subscribers would not be-
lieve it. They thought it was all a
scheme of the publishers to get money
in faster. This rule was probably en-
forced more strictly in some localities
than others, which led to confusion.
There were many publishers. that would
carry an unpaid paper along five or
ten years, which gave the public the
idea that it is not an important thing
to keep subscriptions paid up.
Newspaper publishers dislike to keep
punching up their subscribers. But
other agencies that depend upon. col
1ecting a lot Of small bills, like electric
light and telephone and water COM
pani.s. find it absolutely necessary to
have these payments made regularly.
II you: don't pay every thirty days,
many Of. these companies will discon-
tinue their service and put you to great
inconvenience. .,
Newspaper publishers will always be
too lenient.l It would be good thing
if they would all get together and carry
out a uniform policy of discontiluanee
Of unpaid subscriptions.
The newspaper is one Of the most i'm
portant agencies working for civic pro-
sress. It, carries heavy load Of effort,
and it ought not to- be bothered with
the. cost and annoyance Of collecting a
lot of neglected bills. So if people
could regard the bill that comes only
once year for the annual subscription,
rs something having real Importance
which should be attended to as you
would telephone bill, it would pro-
mote the usefulness Of the newspaper,
and help it serve the public better
