Are you exposing yourself

Often it contributes directly to that over

In his usual routine the average city worker
takes 5000 steps day, on hard, modern
floors and pavements. If you wear nail-studded
leather heelsyou give your body 8, 900 joltsIand
jars day-for every step with hard heels on
still harder pavements acts as hammer blow
to your entire nervous system. The constant
repetition of these shocks exhausts your en-

Rubber, as you know, can be made hard

known. The compound is then "cured" or

DISSATISFACTION VOICED AT La
BoR CONGRESS.

Washington, Oct. 23.-In the labor
congress in progress in this city, many
complaints are coming from various
groups. While the railroad unions ap-
pear to be the only group invited which
may refuse to participate, the confer
ence will assemble with the farmers
and Negroes dissatisfied with their
representation.
Farmers organizations have pro-
tested that they should have more than
three delegates and some Negroes have
requested that member of their race
be appointed to present their interests.
The Negroes We're not given a dele
gate, it was said officially, because no
attempt was made to draw color line
in sconsidering labor problems, and all
recommendations will apply indiscrimi-
nately to white and black workers.

NEW YORK METHODISTS CON-
DENIM RACE RIOTS.

Leroy, n. Y.-Two significant Incl
dents happened during the recent ses-
sion of the Methodist Episcopal Church
conference held here, with Bishop Burt
of Buffalo presiding. The Rev. DIR.
NJ. S. Rice of Detroit, in a lecture on
Modern Affairs" paid high tribute
to the prowess of the Negro soldier
during the war and made II strong
plea for Christian America to face the
Negro problem in the light of the teach
ings of Jesus Christ. 1.--44-E ~
The following morning the Rev.
james L. Rose, pastor of the Second
Baptist Church, was introduced to the
conference, and as Il representative of
the Negro race declared that Negro
religious leaders We're straining their
ears to hear what their white Chris
tian brethren were having to say when
in all parts of the country the Negro
was being subjected to mob violence,
lynch law and race prejudice. The
Rev. Ray Allen, district superintend-
ent of the Rochester district, declared
the conference ought to go on record
as condemning the outrages.

RACE RIOTS:
PREVENTIVE
MEASURES
BY JAMES E. GREGG PRINCIPAL HAMPTON INST.

ex-President Taft, and DR.. George Il.
Haynes, director of the bureau of Ne
gro economics in the U. S. department
of labor, and other competent authori-
ties, and established such joint com
mittees Immediately, without waiting
for the bitter lessons which Atlanta,
Chester, East st. Louis, Springfield,
Coatesville. Washington. Chicago,
Knoxville, and Omaha have had.
Furthermore, it is an obvious, abso-
lutte necessity that something substan-
tial, unmistakable, and unfOrgettable
should be done in the way of punish
ing the persons who are guilty of this
Infamous bloodshed. If Negroes have
not merely exercised the right of self
defense but have been assassins and
murderers, let them suffer the full
penalty of the law but, if white men
as now seems undeniabe-havec com
mitted these crimes. let them suffer
exactly the same penalty.
Still further, especially as we re-
member the loyal service of cOlOred
soldiers, the time seems ripe for the
removal-by federal action, if neces-
sary, though state Action is much to
he preferred: by legislation, if neces-
sary, though the quiet common consent
of one community after another is far
more effective-of the grievances. in
justices, and heavy burdens of exploit
alton and oppression which the Ne
groes, in the North as well as in the
South, have borne with much more pa
tience than white men would have
shown.
Simple fairness: in the courts; in
buying and selling; in the conditions
of labor, housing, and travel; in edu-
cational and recreational facilities in
the exercise of the right to vote =
simple fairness is all that the Negro
asks. Neither the white people of the
North nor the white people of the
South, as they think it over, will wish
to grant him less.
No white man who is honest can
help putting himself, in Imagination,
sooner or later, in the black mans
place; and then the solution of the
problem comes swiftly in the light of
that fundamental justice which is the
Golden Rule of love.

BISHOP PHILLIPS DELIVERS ABLE
ADDRESS.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 22.-Bishop c..
II. Phillips, well known colored bishop,
delivered II very timely address last
night at Caper's Chapel c. NJ. Il.
church to large sized audience which
frequently interrupted the speaker
with applause. He used as a subject,
"The War, the Negro and What He
Wants." and entertained the audience
one hour, calling attention to the Ne
gro's loyalty and devotion to the Stars
and Stripes in peace and war times
The bishop referred TO the efforts
now being eXerted by the white people
of the north and south to give the Ne
gro justice. He approved of the stand
taken by the federal council of
churches of Christ in America, the
Southern Sociological Congress and
similar agencies against mob violence
and lynching and pleaded that law and
order prevail. He directed attention
to the addresses of Gov. A. II. Roberts
against lawlessness and urged the peo-
pie of Tennessee to cooperate with
him.
..rhe Negro wants justice aud the
chance to make of himself a good
American Citizen" said the bishop.
He wants better homes, better schools
better farms and other agencies that
will produce his economic freedom.

Gently have shocked IL u
shamed the whole nation. That
forty persons should be killed,
several hundred wounded, ana
two thousand left homeless by the
burning of their dwellings-all this
taking place, not in raw, rough, semi
barbarous frontier community, but in
two of the greatest cities of the land,
one of them the National capital, the
other the metropolis of an important
Northern State-and that this should
be made possible by the failure of the
civil authorities to maintain law ana
order, is stain upon the honor Oh
the United States which must sadden
the heart of every loyal citizen. More
over such events are alarming, omi-
nous.
a., If in Washington and Chicago mobs
made ND of the. basest element in the
population can commit such deeds OF
brutal violence, and bring to pass n
reign of terror lasting for days, where
may not such things happen? What
town is safe? When shall we read of
similar atrocities in widely scattered
cities?
The all-important question to be
asked and answered is: What can be
done to prevent such horrors from
ever happening again? Yes, ever
again. These race riots of 1919 ought
to be the last that disgrace the United
States and it is the duty of us all to
see that this ideal is made fact.
Without attempting to fix precisely
the responsibility for these two out
breaks, it seems clear that in both
Washington and Chicago there was n
'history," as the medical men say, of
neglected opportunity to cultivate mu-
tual understanding between the races.
Ignorance regularly breeds enmity,
and racial antipathy always flOurishes
most rankly among the people who are
the lowest in intelligence, in manners,
and in spiritual culture. In democ-
racy most of ALL this class of persons
must be enlighteden, led, guided, and,
if need be, controlled. Broadly speak
ing, they are the people who make
police force necessary. They should
never be allowed to become mob.
Experience in more than one South
ern community has proved that com
mittees of reference, representing the
best men and women of both races, can
overcome difficulties, remove friction,
settle disputes, create a wholesome
opinion, fOrestall inter-racial conflicts,
and, best of all, promote such sympa-
thetic mutual knowledge as makes the
growth of race-hatred impossible.
Washington and Chicago should have
had such representative councils long
ago. when it was evident to every OBJ
server that trouble was brewing.
Every city, North or South. East or
West, which has any considerable Ne
gro population should heed the sound
advice on this point by DR.. Robert X.
