The Christmas Feeling

1t always comes at Christmas time,
the Juggling at the heart,
The memories that run to rhyme,
without the rhymesters' art,
A little song that feels it's way, along
the path of sound,
Now low, now sad, now swift and gay,
until the chord is found,
And all the winds are singing it and
all the bells are ringing it
Wherever we may wander and where
ever we may roam,
It's measures come enthralling us; Tilt
ing cadence calling US
With never any other than the sim
pie word of Home"
The holly berries cleaning red, the
swept and garnished floor,
The children romping overhead, the
stranger at the door,
The welcome in the clasping hand,
the lovelight in the eyes
1t come to US in every land as dreams
unbidden rise,

WE EK'S BEST
EDITORIAL
NEGROES NORTH AND SOUTH.
From Herald-Examiner, Chicago.

The Chicago Urban League, Ne
gro organization, investigated the
movement of Negroes into and out
of Chicago in the week Immediately
following the trace riots" of last
Summer. 1t was found that more
Negroes came to Chicago that week
than left it; and Furthermore, that
of those who left, few were going
South. Only fourteen left because
of riots and none were going South
to work.
The league then instituted an in
quiry into conditions as regarded the
Negro in the South. Why were so
few going back, in spite of the out
breaks in the northern cities?
The league reports that, according
to all the testimony they were able
to secure, conditions in the South are
unchanged.
The public education of the South
ern Negroes is said to be in process
of betterment. and some Negro labor
ers are getting better pay, but other
wise the position of the Negro in the
southern communities is precisely
what it was before the war, and the
stream of industrial workers to the
North continues steady.
Discouraging as these facts may
seem to those who feel that the South
best understands the Negro, and un-
fortunate as they are from the point
of view of the economic development
of the South as a whole, they are en-
couraging in one respect. 1t is plain
that the Negroes feel that in general
the spirit of the North is one of fair
dealing.
We in Chicago are long way from
having settled our problem. But if
the Negroes recognize the underlying
truth, blurred though it may apear
at times, that the citizens of Chicago,
are doing their best with the problem,
and mean to get it settled on a basis
of the ultimate justice for the Negro
as well as the white man, we have
made step forward.

In suppressing this disease Medical
Science has asserted itself and
has shown wonderful advancements
and achievements as it has in suppress
sing other disease which are most as
deadly as the Plague. Now In this
country Bubonic Plague is so rare
until it has become freak, and no
where do we hear of such epidemics
as occurred in London in 1865 and
in China in 1894.
Bubonic Plague is highly infec-
tious and contagious diseases, caused
by Bacillus Pestio. Unsanitary con-
ditions and surroundings are the prin-
ipal case of Epidemics and Pan
denies of this disease. Cleanliness,
and Sanitation are the greatest aids
to Medical Science in combating any
disease.

BRAINS ARE MADE TO use

Sleep and the world sleeps with
you.
Trink and you think alone!
So might be paraphrased the IA
nous lines of the late Ella Wheeler
Wilcox.
We are in receipt of letter from
E. II. Gale, editor of Gales Magazine,
published in Mexico City. Mr.. Gale is
an American radical migrated south,
white man who nevertheless IS
right on the race question, one of the
handful of men who in all ages have
acted as the fire-brands of progress
to light the way to truth and justice
through a world filled with the blank
darkness of the ignorance and indif-
ference of the great majority.
Having been born and reared in
the United States and schooled in the
economics of class relationships, Mr..
Gale knows how "niggers" and
white trash" came to be common
words in America, and being now
resident of Mexico knows how
"gringo" and "greeyer" came to be
common terms there: Greed and
economic rivalry being the basic
cause in either case.
Predatory capital wants a war to
wrest Mexico from the Mexicans in
order to exploit her great natural
resources, just as Africa has been
torn from the Africans, India from
the East Indians, and just as China
has many times been divided into
spheres of influence by the European
powers for the same purpose.
Will the forward looking right
thinking people of the United States
allow Mexico to be trampled under
foot and the chains of economic sla-
very fastened on her by the greedy
grasping interests of Wall street at
the sacrifice of thousands of the
flower of the manhood of both ma
tons? We hope not. Let white and
black men alike tell this government
they will not kill another man who
has done them no wrong. The Negro
especially should be aginst war with
Mexico. Negroes are treated better
there than in the United States.
When Jack Johnson was bounded
from this country Mexico received
him as persona grata. If the whites
are hated there it is because they
have gone there as they have to every
other corner of the globe, respecting
no one and attempting to appropriate
everything in sight.

BY our Friend Harden.

Its murmured strains must capture
us, so dulcet they, and rapturous,
Such words as are not written in the
most impressive tone
The simple words, the clinging ones,
the soothing and the singing ones,
Are all blent in the heartbeats to the
CHEEKY word of "Home."
1t always comes at Christmas time,
and finds where we are,
Though we have sought an alien cline
and beneath an alien star.
Though we have wandered far and
wide, sought much and found it not
1t comes across the wind and tide,
this cadence unforgot,
And all the bells are ringing it and
all the breezes are flinging it
Wherever we may wander and where
ever we may roam
1t comes all surely seeking us with
memories bespeaking us,
With never any sweeter than the sim
pie word of Home"

THE WHIPS LEGAL
COLUMN.
J. D. BIB L. L. B.

Dear Editor:
My new Buick Auto was stolen
Saturday two weeks ago and one
Smith repainted it and changed
license number. Smith sold this car
to one Adams who purchased it in
good faith and without knowledge of
the theft. | have demanded the car
on two occasions. What do you adj
wise?
You have three remedies, two legal
and one personal.
l. You can bring action of Trover
against against Adams and recover
judgment for the full value of the
car.
2. You can under the Illinois
Statute have the Sheriff replevy, that
is take the car, and give it over TO
you.
8. You can take the car by self
help or physical force but you make
yourself liable in tresspass. | ad-
wise that you have your attorney in
stitute replevin proceeding if you want
the car.
If you don't want the car and
Adams has enough money, you have
your attorney sue in Trover for the
full value.
Dear Editor
l sent my porter to the bank with
$4,000. The money was lost in a
gambling game by the porter. The
porter has worked for me for several
years and has never misplaced money
before. What do you advise?
Answer.
1t appears that your porter has
committed an act of embezzlement.
am inclined to think the porters
intention at the time he received the
money was good. The original inten-
ton exculpates him from a charge
of Larceny. Have a warrant sworn
out for him and the judge will do the
rest if your story is true.
You may bring action of Trover
and recover your money if the porter
has anything and you do not desire
criminal punishment.
l suggest that you put the matter
in your attorneys hands for further
action.

HEALTH HINTS
THE BUBONIC PLAGUE.
J. SYLVANDER TRICE, M. D.
Laboratory Diagnostician.


Among the diseases that played a
very conspicuous and constant part
in the history of the world is the
Plague. The Plague known as -
PESTS, Pestilenta, Black Plague, or
iental Plague, Bubonic Plague is one
of the most deadly of diseases; it
has caused more deaths than any
other one affliction known to Medic
al Science.
Bubonlc Plague has been known
from the earliest, in fact the very
earliest records of the human race
contain some references about the
Plague. in the Bible (1st Samuel,
chapters 5 and 81 references to Bu-
bonic forms of diseases will be noted.
History records epidemics of the
Plague before the Christ era. The
plague was described by Herodotus,
Hypocrates, Procapins and other
early writer's. Rufus of Ephesus de-
scribes the disease. The buboes that
one calls Presidential are very acute
and often cause DEATHS accompa-
MED by acute fever. intense pain,
perturbation of the whole body, de-
lirium eruption of large buboes hard
and without supuration.
Epidemics of this disease have been
reported in Egypt and Syria in these
early days. In 542 A. D. there was
pandemic Covering entire known
world), originating in Egypt. In 558
A. D. Constantinople was effected,
Germany in SAG, Ales $50, Cuvergne
and Clermont in 563 and many other
places during this sixth century. The
mortality was very high, entire cities
were depopulated in many instances.
Lists of these outbreaks in London
in 664. In the eleventh century, a
pandemic occurred originating in Per-
STA, Mesoptamia, Asia Minor, West
ern Europe being effected. During a
pendemic which occurred between
1300-1400 twenty-five per cent of
the people in Asia, Africa, Europe
died of this disease.
Later in the 10th century an out
breaw occurred in Brussels in 1902,
Verona in 1917. Germany in 1926,
France in 1881 and 1884. In 1850 and
1853 another pandemic is reported.
The great Plague of London &C.
CURED in 1865. At this time there
were 68,596 deaths in London in 8
or A months, 100000 people left the
city because of this disease. At that
time the mayor of London ordered all
the cats and dogs killed; by his order
10000 dogs and 100000 cats per-
ished. AS a result the plague aided
by the rats and mice almost destroyed
the city. A total of 195,849 people
persisted as a result of epidemics of
the Plague during the 18th century.
In Canton, China, during an cpl
demic between March and August,
1894 thousands died of the Plague.
In 1900 and 1904 this disease in
troduced itself in this country but
was not as severe as it was during
epidemics and pandemics of Asia,
Europe and Africa.

Stocks and Bonds.

Distinction between stocks and
bonds is clear and we'll defined. A
person buying bond invests money
at fixed rate of interest. His orig
inal investment is secured by tangible
assets, such as real estate, rolling
stock, machinery, etc. A bond is of
the same nature as a mortgage. In
terest is paid to holders because those
issuing bonds can in the couse of bust
ness channels use capital thus secured
at a profit sufficient to warrant pay
ment of fixed rate of interest for use
of money.
A bond holder does not assume any
partnership risks of company making
the issue.
Bonds are never issued legally for
more than the known and assessed
value of security offered.
Bonds suffer less fluctuation in
market price than other securities.
Bonds have ordinarily fixed mar
ket price and are accepted as col
lateral more readily than stocks.
In come yield on bonds is generally
less than that on stocks, but security
is greater.
Bonds have priority over stock in
interest awards by organizations
which have both stocks and bonds.
Government, state and municipal
bonds are secured by entire or spe-
cific resources of government, state
or municipality issuing bonds.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Q.-How does U. S. pay interest
on government bonds?
A.-From revenue, special and
general.
Q.-Why are government bonds
selling now below their face value?
A.-Prices are determined by mar
ket demand.
