To the Editor
have read with interest tht
published report of the coroner's
jury on the recent race riots and
must voice my dissent from the con
illusions of that body. They show BY
their own statements that the fail
ure to impartially enforce the law
was the basic reason for the riots.
The suggestion of segregation
oven by agreement, is un-American
n-Chrstian, and unlawful. 1t is un.
American because we live in de
mocracy, which presupposes that the
right of each individual is identical
without regard TO race, creed OF
color.
1t is un-Christian-and this is al
legged to be Christian land-be-
cause it fixes a color line, which is
contrary to the law of God. The
basis of Christianity is the Father
hood of God and the Brotherhood
Of Man.
1t is unlawful This has been de-
cided by unanimous decision of the
United States Supreme Court. Even
if a few colored men should be so
base as to consult such a plan, il
would mean nothing and both par
ties to the agreement would be gull
ty of conspiracy Of others of their
lawful rights. The colored people
will not sanction any such scheme
and will not consent to be ousted
from their homes which, they have
purchased legally and occupied le-
gally.
Segregation has been tried for
thousands of years as a cure for
racial and religious antipathies with
cut success. Instead of creating a
good feeling it has only aroused hos
tility and resentment. The whole
purpose is to show the civil infe-
riority of the people segregated and
to consign them to a fixed degraded
status from which neither they non
their children's children can hope TO
escape.
In Europe today, the Jews are suf-
fering from their enforced segre-
cation in the ghettos, which makes
those outside the pale despise THEN
bapless victims, and render whole
sale murder easier when the awful
pogrom comes.
Just now there is a lot Of talk
about the Americanization of the
millions of foreigners who cannot
speak English and who have no con-
ception of American ideals. The col
ored man needs no AUGMENTATION
He speaks the English language. He
is an American, not an African. Ac-
eording to the Census of 1910, OF

Syphilis from the Greek meaning

contact, kissing, sexual congress, use Of
towels, public utensils, by inheritance
and quite often innoeen,ly contracted
in other ways.
The history Of Syphilis has It's begin

left its vertiges in the human family,

Old TIME sWEETHEARTs WED

Cedar Falls, May 10.-Rev. J. C.
Orth of Des Moines, who gained
more than statewide renown during
the war through his relentless fight
against pro-Germanism, wed the
sweetheart of his youth, Miss Clara
Denniston of this city Thursday.
Doctor Orth and Miss Denniston
were both country school teachers.
They became fast friends and were
engaged for several months. Later
they drifted apart and the Rev Mr..
Orth married another, who has since
passed away, and they did not hear
of each other again for twenty odd
years The early romance was re-
viyed during the great war while
Mr. Orth was going up and down
the land speaking daily in behalf of
war work.
Mrs. Orth was born and brought
up on farm in Black Hawk county,
being the daughter of pioneer resi-
dents of Canadian and Scotch origin.
She attended Iowa State Teachers
College and then began teaching in
the rural schools of Black Hawk
county. She finished a course at
the teachers college and went to the
SUdle VI " dSuluBlOn " tcdCh, uuI
was soon compelled to return to
Iowa on account of failing health.
Later she resumed her teaching and
at one time was a teacher in the
city schools of Cedar Falls. She
built home for herself and brother
at 1921 College street here, where
she has resided for the past five
years. She is highly educated
and broadly cultured woman.
Following the ceremony here, the
Rev. Mr.. Orth and his bride started
on an extended eastern trip, during
which they will visit New York and
Washington. At the latter place
Doctor Orth will attend a national
meeting of patriotic organization,
being scheduled to deliver an adj
dress. After their honeymoon trip
they will make their home in Des
Moines.

is now on hand in the hands OF the
manufacturers and in warehouses,
more tobacco than there was one
year ago in spite of the raise of the
prices. The cigar type of tobacco
is a little short but the other varie-
ties more than make up for 1t, as
there are fully 162,000,00O pounds
more than one year ago. The fg-
ures follow. showing the amount on
hands at the dates given below:

PLANT ENsILAGE CORN EARLY

Planting the ensilage corn last
instead of first, is an expensive mis-
take very generally made in north
ern portions of the United States.
Strong terminating seed of ensilage
varieties from further south should
be planted two or three weeks ear
lier than the home grown seed which
is planted for the production Of
grain.
Earlier planting causes better
yields.
After several years of testing, the
office of corn investigations has es-
tablished the following fact, which
should be utilized by dairymen and
ensilage corn growers of the north
ern states: When large ensilage
varieties from Virginia or Missouri,
for example, are planted in northern
states late in May, they make a
rapid, long jointed, tender, succu-
lent growth, and are so green when
fall frosts occur that they are heavy
to handle, low in feeding value and
make ensilage which is sloppy and
too sour. But when planted in
April or very early in May they
make a slower, harder growth, bet
ter withstand spring frosts and sum-
mer droughts, and reach a more ad-
vanced condition of maturity and
produce more grain than when
planted later. Fall frosts, not
spring frosts, are not be feared.
Early maturing, home grown va
rieties do not need and may not be
benefited by unusually early
planting, but large-growing ensilage
varieties are benefited. Though
somewhat dwarfed by very early
planting, the large ensilage varie-
ties will, by nature, make ample
stalk growth, and because of early
planting, will yield more and ripper
grain and make richer and sweeter
ensilage. Early planting supplies
the age necessary for maturation
and reproduction.
Early cultivation warns the soil.
Ensilage crops in the north are
made much more profitable when
these two points are observed:
1. Judge the crop by its feeding
value and not by its height or
weight, or the amount of labor neces-
sary to silo it
2. Although earlier planting
pays Early cultivation dries and
warns the soil surface. II it re-
mains wet it remains cold and the
young corn cannot grow. Stirring

and the corn to grow; while nearby
uncultivated soil will remain cold
and the corn at a standstill.

Sioux City. May 10.-The city

the recall of Mayor Short sufficient
for the recall of Mayor Short and or
