conducted an extensive search for the
minerals most needed in war. The
University School of Forestry has as
sisted in surveys of lands suitable for
returned soldiers. The College of
Engineering has been indefatigable in
enlsting it's graduates and under
graduates in positions of greatest mil

Home Economics in cooperation with
other departments of the University
has assisted in the statewide program

SHAM DEMOCRAClES.

A DANGEROUS BILL.

The Illinois Senate this week passed
the Wheeler bin creating board of
cooperating educational advisors, con-
sisting of four white persons and five
colored men. 1t provides for a study
on the economic and industrial rela-
tionship between the white and
colored races and for cooperation
with state and local authorities "in
procuring better housing, educational
and industrial conditions for the
colored race and to endeavor to bring
about better understanding between
the two races"
The Wheeler bill is class legisla-
ton and it would be very unfortunate
and perhaps disastrous to the well
fare of the co1ored people if it became
a law.
No matter what the seeming bene-
fits may be, such legislation would un-
doubtedly prove the opening wedge
for further special and perhaps dis
eliminating enactments in the future.
It would be dangerous precedent.

DR.. CLANCY is WORRIED

DR.. Rockwell Clancy of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church is worried about
the menace" of Mohammedanism and
Buddhism in American. Says he:
"Thrice every day 5000 followers
Of Mohammed in America turn their
faces toward Mecca and pray. And
where the American flag floats oyer
the Philippine islands 100000 persons
are followers of Islam. Buddhism also
had set up it's cross legged god in our
west. There are seventy-four Bud
dhist temples in the United States"
Japanese brides-to-be are met at the
ports in the west by Buddhist priests
and the marriage ceremony is per-
formed according to Buddhistic ritual.
1T is the plan of the centenary
movement to have ministers of the
Christian religion meet these ships,''
wrote DR.. Clancy. 1.-THE world recon
struction program of the centenary
makes provision for neutralizing and
ultimately removing other non-C Chris
tian influences in the religious life of
the country
The Methodist Episcopal Centenary
Committee, proud of the fact that the
church has turned it's back on God
and Disseminated against the colored
people of the United States, now seeks
to remove other mont Christian influ-
ences," and jimcrow the Japanese.
Neither Mohammedanism nor Bud
dhism has color line, either in
theory or practice. Theoretically
Christianity has no color line, but
practically in America the principal
business of christianity is to segre-
gate and lower the social status of
colored people.
Bishop Hartzell one of the greatest
of M. E. bishops, once Bishop of
Africa, who spent many years on the
African continent said that the SUPER
iority of the Mohammedan African
over the Christian African was most
pronounced. The Mohammedan held
up his head and compelled respect;
the Christian did not respect himself
and of course did not command re-

which merits the thoughtful attention
OF every family and every individual
who would get ahead in life:
Wise spending implies the balanc-
ing of all needs and of all means Of
meeting these needs and, after bal
anc1ng needs against means, spending
IN such way as to meet the most
urgent needs, even If lesser ones have
to be left unsatisfied; in essence it
means sort of budget-making. When
a family, city or state makes budget,
what it does essentially is to take a
comprehensive view Of both needs and
income. It is important that not all
the income be spent on the first needs
that may occur lest other more urgent
needs appear and no funds be left to
meet them; that is, thought must be
taken so that available income can be
applied intelligently and wisely to
cover most important needs and to
satisfy them somewhat in proportion
to their relative Importance.
Perhaps the most important and
d1hacult problem in connection with
wise spending Tor saving) is to real
lie the relative importance of future
as compared with present needs. The
temptation of all of us is to satisfy
present needs at the neglect of future
needs. 1t is very foolish to neglect
the urgent necessities Of today for the
petty wants of the morrow, but few
need very much persuasion to induce
them to take care of the present.
Where most OF us are foolish or un-
wise is In satisfying petty wants of
the present rather than saving in or
der that urgent needs of the future
can be met"
