much to its happiness and well being

lives and limbs"
In letter addressed to Federal
Managers, Mr.. Hale Holden, Regional
Director says, This has my hearty
approval and / shall be glad to have
you officially and actively support this
Drive. With this advance notice there
is plenty of time in which to formulate
plans and perfect arrangements where
by you will be expected to enlist and
receive the hearty support of all Off
GERS and employees in your respective
jurisdiction"
This Drive ought to be the greatest
interest to the general public, and at
least during this period of two weeks
it would seem an appropriate time for
us all to give serious thought to the
wholly unnecessary and avoidable toll
of lives and limbs being collected every
day outside of railroad circles and join
with railroad men in an effort to not
only safeguard ourselves but our
neighbor Along this line of thought,
there never have been so many auto
mobiles struck at public highway cross
ings of railroads as during the sum-
mer just ending. A recent check was
made by one certain large railroad in
volving 223 separate cases of auto
mobiles wrecked at such crossings; of
this number 30 had died" on cross
ings; Ill attempted to cross directly
in front of and were struck by trains;
SO ran into sides of engines or trains;
l skidded into train; 10 ran into and
broke down crossing gates lowered to
protect them from passing trains; 3

men doing his duty by trying to warn
autoists of their danger. In consider
ing these causes it is well to remember
that most of them resulted in loss OF
life, in certain instances several lives
So while railroad men are going te
try, during the two weeks, October ls-
81 inclusive, to safeguard themselves
in every possible way, why should not
our churches, our Chambers Of Com
merce, our Societies of one sort or
another, also take up this humanitarian
and praiseworthy work for the COM

As indicating the possibilities from
cooperation, whether in greater
Safety endeavor or anything else, it is
worthy of mention that during the
first six months of 1919 as compared
to the same six months last year, there
was, on Federal controlled roads, net
decrease Of $50 employees killed, net
decrease of 1S,454 employees injuredi
and total net decreases (including all
cases. employees and others) of 1901

Second Stage.

i The secondary symptoms, as they
are called, follows the initial mani
fetations. In nearly every case they
ara sometimes so slight as to be over
locked by physician and patient.
Nature rarely works by abrupt divi-
sions, and in syphilis, as in all other
diseases, the symptoms of one stage
mcrges into and after coexist with
those of another. The stress and
/ broad facts to be remembered with
syphilis is that it usually falls upon
one system, i. e., the skin, bones, ner-
vous system or internal organs; and
In most all cases definite course may
be discovered and accounted for its
prediction.
The secondary stage occurs in A
to weeks followinf the primary sore,
terminating with its disappearance.
The outbreak is generally preceded
and accompanied by feeling of
great discomfort slight rise in
temperature, marked anemia and
severe headaches in the front and
back of the head, occurring after
strains, overexertion, worry and wear
on the nervous system. These head
aches come on after ones days work
is done. Pain, especially in the long
bones, being worse at night, and oc-
OCCASIONALLY localized to one part.
Glands nearest the point of infection
being the first to be enlarged, they
are firm, hard, painless, freely NOV

tendency to break down.
The skin and the eyes often have
yelowish tinge, which show evil

seldom bald, but the hair that re-
mains is dry and lusterless. In most
Eases the hair returns on treatment.
The nails also show a change.
They lose their shiny or glistening
appearance and become brittle, hav-
ing tendency to break at the free
edge; they yield to treatment very
slowly.
The eyes become inflamed, causing
an inflammation of the iris in nearly
60%, this occurring within 8 to 10
weeks after the first lesion; then
both eyes are soon affected.
The greatest damage done by
syphilis is to the nervous system,
causing tobes and general paralysis.
Treatment at this stage in the young
patient should be kept under control,
thereby checking the progress of the
tertiary stage and its facilitating in
fluences. In the Incorporate, tuber-

Through it all white people should
keep their minds clear and not per-
nit themselves to make the mis-
takes of thinking that all Negroes
are alike. When some degenerate
Negro assaults a white woman and
is lynched for it, white people who
do not tn INK deeply come to the
conclusion that every Negro woul"
assault white woman if he did
not stand in fear of lynching.
Now, nothing could be farther
from the truth than this conclusion.
ANYONE who knows the Negro peo-
ple knows it is not true. The Ne
gro who assaults or who desires to
assault white women is the excep
ton. We do not fear to say thai
this kind of Negro numbers only one

an average as white people can claim
The fact is that the average Negro

Jim Crowism Must End.

We trust that the Republican
House of Representative will not
fail in its patriotic duty to take high
ground and courageous action upon
the Madden Anti-Jim- Grow Amend
ment to the railroad bill. The rail
roads of the country will be shortly
taken from Government control and
returned to private ownership. The
s.alwart Congressman Madden OF III
inois proposed an amendment TO the
Esch bill providing for the roads re-
turn which abolishes all separate ac-
commodations on interstate travel
based on race, color or previous con-
dition of servitude. This amendment
the House voted down on Saturday
lag to IL. Final action on the meas
ure was postponed until the present
week
There was the same time serving,
faint hearted action upon the major
ity of the Republicans who voted that
has almost always marked their
course We find Congressman Sny-
der from New York taking full agree
ment with the position of Democratic
Representative Summers of South
Carolina. We trust that the colored
voters of Congressman Snyder's dis
trict will fittngly rebuke him when
his name appears in the Republican
Primaries next September. We urge
the colored voters of every Northern
State to ask their Republican Con-
gresham when they come up for
election next Fall to explain their
vote on the Madden Amendment
+ They must know from this day forth
who of their friends have the courage
of their convictions. Ii has been thi:
same cowardly supine indifference
upon the part of the Republican
Party in times past that has enabled
the Democratic Party of Dixie tt

against the black man. The time il
now when coolred citizens in thu
Northern and especially in the close
pivotal border States must hold thu
Republican Party to strict account

whom their votes have helped to pu

Wambsganss, working alongside oi
Chappie at second base, is far from
the worst keystone guardian in the
big leagues. The addition OF Larry
Gardner to the Indian infield prob
ably has done more to put strength
into the club than any single thing
since last year. The veteran third
saseman was sent to Philadelphia oy
Boston some time ago, branded as a
has.been after he had done noble
work with the Red Sox during the
years they won pennants. He didn't
fret about it, but went ahead with MS
work and was sent to Cleveland
shortly afterward in trade for BOD
by Roth. His record since joining the
Indians speaks for itself. His hitting
is only slightly below the fine aver
age he generally had while with Bos
ton.
Manager Fohl always has been Q
good judge of pitching talent. The
main trouble with Fohrs pitchers has
been that they didn't last. Several
phenoms have been uncovered for the
Indians in late years, only to bloom
and then quickly fade.
In Sandy Uhle, youngster picked
off Cleveland lots, Fohl seems to
have shared conner. Phillips, an
other rookie from the Southern AS
sociation, has won his spurs. These
two, added to Guy Morton's come
back, have saved Fohl lot OF ex,
planning and may yet form the neu-
cleus of a winning bunch of hurlers.
