Some Bear Dope

The following statement was Civ
en- out today by the South Carolina
Cotton Association:
AS an illustration of the propa-
ganda now being sent out by the
cotton bears, the following is cited:
"The movement for reduction in
acreage in this section of the country
may have some effect, but there is
no such movement on hand in the
West where they have had good sea-
sons and expect to plant full crop!
This propaganda in the Southern
States reads that there will be no
reduction in the West and in the
Western States it reads that there
will be no reduction in the South.
Another big cotton firm sends
out the following: eve are glad to
note that you have been successful
in your campaign to bring about a
general reduction in acreage, but as
written before, we are sorry to see
it because we do not think it will be
necessary, and if we are right in our
views of the market, we believe that
the prices prepailing around plant
ing time will induce farmers to put
a much larger acreage in cotton than
originally contemplated"
CAS- an illustration of information
sent by the New York firms the fol-
lowing was sent a leading business
man and planter in South Carolina:
can opinion has been given by the
attorney for the Bureau of Markets
of the United States government
that all transactions in old style
contracts (thoSc trades made prior
to March y must be liquidatcd be-
fore MAY |, 1919. All trades on hand
after that date must be in new
style contracts liquidated by our
customers. We must therefore re-
quest that you close out your old
style contracts in accordance with
the above ruling!
"This is absolutely and positively
contrary to the rulings of MI. Brand
Of the Department of Markets. AS
a result of such Incorrect infolma-
tion being sent out vast amount of
cotton was closed out. If such had
not been the case, the market would
have shown a remarkable high level
before it would have been possible
for the bears to have stopped the adj
vance
1t appears that some people in the
State are making a fight on the cot
ton association The following letter
has been received from one man: 81
have asked several men to pledge
themselves to cut the acreage and
usow this letter: They say they
wont pay anything for some big man
to live without work and smoke his
cigars on"
The South Carolina Cotton Asso-
citation has 1900 men who are Civ
ing untiringly and unselfishly of
their work and services without re-
muneration Their only compensation
is their earnest desire to gain COM
mercial freedom for the South and
benefit our State and its citizenship.
The central committee members
have been overtaXed and oveiwork-
ed They are paying their own ex-
penses and gladly rendering every
effort possible to push the work to
successful termination. In addition
they have contributed of their own
means to assist in the financial sup
port. which is of course absolutely
necessary.

TUST how long it takes to get
rested depends on how "deep"
~ YOU sleep. Perhaps you are one
of the lucky individuals who are
"dead to the world" when you sleep.
But if YOU arc only about half
asleep all night, tossing about and
waking at every little sound, you
can stay in bed twenty-four hours
and still need sleep.
Sleeping soundly is a matter of
getting perfectly relaxed. The slight
est noise keeps the nerves alert.
What you need for deep, sound
sleep all night is perfectly qutet bed
and a spring that tnoites complete
relaxation.
That's why people sleep so much
better in the Simmons Metal Bed
and Slumber King Spring.

DR. TOmpkins' Article Replying to Mr..

Distinguished Citizens.

Dr. William j. Thompkins,

Kansas City, Mo.
Dear DIR. Thompkins:
want to congratulate you on your
article which appears in today's Kan
sas City Sun, relating to the parade of
the 92d Division contingent in Kansas
City. l did not read J. A. Wilson's
article, but ! did see the parade, and
was filled with pride at the enthusi-
asm and pep" shown, not only by the
returning soldiers but by their friends
who followed them through the
streets.
AS the parade passed our building
could not but call to mind another
parade that I saw in the city of Co
logne in the early part of 1915, when
several companies of Germans were
being inducted into the service of that
country. These men were followed to
the training camp by their wives and
children, and as they were about to
discard their clothes for the German
uniform, they naturally wore their old
clothes. Notwithstanding the fact
that everyone of the men had received
several years military training, they
were as motley and disheartened
group of men as ever saw, and their
wives and children looked, as they
doubtless felt, as if they expected their
| husbands and fathers never to return.
Our men went to war with smiles
on their faces, and accompanied by
the cheers and good wishes of all their
! friends, and they are returning with
their heads up and with the conscious
ness of having fought bravely for a
good cause The difference between
the two parades presented a remark
able contrast. The men of the 92nd
| Division were all heroes, and while
| it is true that they were flanked, "cov-
cred and hidden" by an enthusiastic
group of friends and relatives, it was
but an evidence of the affection and
pride in the soldierly conduct OF these
| heroes. l think the Negro race ought
to be proud of the spirit which was
shown by the soldiers when they en-
listed, as well as when they returned,
and ! am glad that you have replied
! to any criticisms which may have been
made either of the parade, the soldiers
in it, or to friends who received them
so cordially.
Yours sincerely,
EDWIN c, MESERVEY.

1t should be a source of pride and
inspiration to every Negro in Greater
Kansas City to witness the wonderful
record being made by DR.. J. Edgar
Dibble, one of the foremost physicians
and surgeons of the race. Quiet and
dignified in manner, extremely cour-
teous in disposition and actively ag-
gressive in all things pertaining to
racial advancement, DIR. Dibble has
been a distinct asset to the Negro peo-
pie of this community in all the years
he has resided here.
A graduate of the famous Meharry
Medical College, DIR. Dibble took a
Post Graduate Course in one of the
greatest medical schools in Philadel-
phia, and when he came to this city
he was fully equipped to practice his
profession, and his record has been
one of continued success since being
here.
Dr. Dibble believes in opening up
new fields, and more than a year ago
had occasion to demonstrate his abil-
ity to the management of the Kansas
City Nut and Bolt Works, that employs
many hundreds Of men. They were SO
impressed with his ability that he was

employed as their regular physician
and surgeon to look after their colored
employees. One of the positions held
by DR.. Dibble that he prizes very high
ly is that of physician and surgeon to
the Building Laborers' International
Protective Union of America No. /,
the largest organization of Negroes in
the West, being elected to this posi-
tion by the Union over the heads of
quite number of other physicians
who were applicants for the place.
Possibly the greatest endorsement of
his ability came only last week when
he was selected by the famous Kansas
City Southern Railway as local sur
geon to care for all their colored en-
ployes which, to those who know, is a
very responsible task. DR.. Dibble, dur
ing the recent worlds war was com
missioned first lieutenant and exam
ined and prepared a great many of the
successful candidates who received
commissions at the Des Moines Train
ing Camp. There are few men who
have contributed more to the material
and constructive development of the
race in Kansas City than DIR. Dibble
and the Negroes of the South and
West are Justly proud of him.

A SPLENDID PHARMACIST,

Mr.. Alexander Lee, pharmacist, en-
ployed by DR.. f. S. Lee at the Palace
Drug Store, 18th and Woodland, was
one of five successful candidates to
register as a pharmacist in the state
of Kansas by an examination held in
the University at Lawrence last
February. There were twenty-five APP
plicants, he being the only Negro. No
one should hesitate to take their pre-
scriptions to a store where they will
be correctly and reasonably filled by
such competent druggists as DR.. E. S.
Lee, who has been in the business
for twenty-five years, and his efficient
clerk, Alexander Lee, who for more
than ten years has served in some of
our best drug stores as prescription
druggist in Missouri and Illinois,
where he is now registered. Our
physicians should use every opportu-
nifty to impress upon their patients

 GOLDMAN, HERMAN EQUIVALENT ID DEATH
Final Effort to Prevent Anar- chists from Being Sent
 to Russia Made

Washington, Dec. 10-Deporta- tion of Emma Goldman and Alex ander Berkman to White Guard" Russia would be equivalent to pro- nouncing death sentence on them, Harry Weinberger, counsel for the two radical leaders. asserted in a brief filed today with the su- preme court in an effort to pre- vent their removal from the Uni ted States. f-}o
 The highest court was asked t. receive an appeal from the action of Federal Judge Mayer in New York which dismissed an applica- tion for habeas corpus writs. Counsel for both the accused and the government were permitted to submit briefs.
 Weinberger, in his brief. admit ted that his clients were anar- chists, but contended there was in sufficient evidence to warrant de- portation and charged that the sec retarv of labor exceeded his iur- isdiction and discretion" in issu- ing deportation orders. Constitu- tionality of the statutes under which it was issued also was at tackled. and at this point counsel said that deportation to the "white guard" country of Denekine, Kol- chak and Yudenitch would be equi- valent to a death sentence.
 Any action which would delay deportation was opposed in the governments brief, which declared the defendants a menace to society Should the appeal be granted, the government asked that bail be re- fused pending final determination,
 In granting Weinberger permis- sion to seek an appeal for error, Judge Mayer gave him until D. m. tomorrow to perfect his writ and it was believed the supreme court would take notice of this in reaching a decision.
