The committee for Ohio State Police
advocates the establishment, by the
Eighty.third General Assembly, OF u
rural police force for Ohio composed
Of highly efficient Ohio soldiers who
have seen service in the trenches of
France.
A State Police Force with this per-
sonnel. who will have had such rare
experience. could be developed into
the greatest military police organiza-
ton the world has ever known. In ad-
dition to their military knowledge al.
ready acquired they would only need
brief training In the laws OF the state
and the duties Of state policeman.
II was through the recruiting Of men
who were fresh from active duty un.
der fire in Cuba. China. Porto Rico,
and the Philippines that 1t was possi-
BILE for Pennsylvania to establish her
world famous State Police Force.
Ohio could in this manner create
and dedicate monument, not OF
stone, but living monument to the
yalor and herosm Of her sons who
have granted the supreme sacrifice for
the nation.

When Major George j.. Chandler
gave up his medical practice, moved
to Albany, and was given q spacious
office on the FIRST floor of the State
Capitol, his first duty was to got men.
Over 5000 men responded to the
first call for enlistment. Major
Chandler met them with mental and
physical tests--tests that were the ex-
treme in severity Of any In use in the
world--in order to secure the right
standard OF manhood First. he per.
sonally examined each man as to his
physical soundness. Out of the 5000,
just 1900 were. found with constitu-
tions equal tosthe work expected Of
them. These 1900 were then given
the mental and other. tests. Only 200
of that Number measured up to the
necessary standard-one hundred per
cent. II Q man fell below that stand
ard, even One-fourth per cent. he was
rejected. The result was that Major
Chandler secured intelligent, brainy,
fearless young men who. when they
are at home in their barracks, seem

Mr.. Brooks, The secretary OF the Lin
coin Motion Picture Company of Los

this city for a few days enroute to
take charge of the company's office at
Omaha, Nebraska, has been able to Sc
cure local theatre to show their
great productions to the people of
Denver
THE Trooper of Troop X the above
named company's greatest production,
will be shown for two days, March 20
and 81, at the PLAZA THEATRE. 1921

the full privilege of the entire house.
This is the first time that this privilege

come out in large numbers and show
their appreciation to the management
of this house and their due respect to
this greatest of all Negro Producing

will be something you will long regret.
The LINCOLN productions come
well recommended from both press and
pulpit from all over the entire coun-
try They have shown in practically
every large city in the country and
have never yet failed to please our
people on the CLASS, DIGNITY and
MERIT, that they have in them.
This picture portrays in vivid scenes
the massacre of the Negro Troopers
at Carrizal, Mexico. and the UN-
FLINCHING BRAVERY OF THE

shown these pictures to all of their
Negro Cantonments as an inspiration
to "our boys" who will soon have to

To those that are subject to draft
and those who have friends and rela-
tives subject to draft or already in the
Army, they should by no means miss
this instructive and pleasing picture.
The producers should be highly com

doing the Race.
Everybody go and see our own pro-

A PRAYER.

Let me do my work each day, and
IL the darkest hours Of dispair over
come me. may not forget the
strength that comforted me in the
desolation OF other times. May still
remember the bright hours that found
me walking over the silent hills Of
my childhood or dreaming on the mar
gin of the quiet river: when light
Flowed within me and ! promised my
early God to have courage amid the
tempests of the changing years. Spare
me from bitterness and from the sharp
passions of unguarded moments. May
l not forget that poverty and riches
are of the spirit. Though the world
know not, may my thoughts and &C
tions be such as to keep me friendly
with myself. Lift my eyes from the
earth and let me not forget the uses
of the stars. FORBID that l should
Judge others. lest l condemn myself.
Let me not follow the Glamour Of the
world, but walk calmly in my path.
Give me a few friends that will love
me for what am; and keep ever
burning before my vagrant steps the
kindly light Of hope. And though age
and infirmity overtake me, and come
not within the castle of my dreams,
teach me still to be thankful for life,
and for times olden memories that
are good and sweet; and may the
evenings twilight find me gentle still

Boston, Mass, March 4, 1918
Last week was great week for the
race in Boston. The disgrace of per-
mitting the nefarious Birth of a Ma.

newly-elected Mayor, Andrew j. Pc.

Through the sole activity of the
Boston Branch of the National Equal

barred by the Mayor. 1t was being
advertised at the movie houses to be
given today at the Globe Theatre Sec.
retary Trotter of the National Equal

on Wednesday and that afternoon
sent a protest to Mayor Peters. On

tary. Mayor Peters said he had, on
receiving the Leagues protest sent for
the manager of the Globe Theatre and
was having the law examined and
would do his utmost to prevent the
play which he characterized as most
Objectionable.
Friday mornings daily papers an
nounced that the manager of the thea
ire had been to see Mayor Peters and
had acceded to his request not to pro-
duce the play.
Now Boston. instead of being used
as our indorser of this Birth of a
Nation can be used against it. All
