REV. eAcoTE's HOME BOMBED.

The home of Rev. S. W. Bacote for
twenty-four years the popular pastor
of Second Baptist Church this city,
was dynamited last week by some mis-
creant who evidently is following out
the propaganda of certain interests
on the East side who do not want Ne
groes in that section of the city. DR..
Bacote has lived in his home, 221O
Kansas Ave, for more than twelve
years and has always been courteous
ly treated and highly respected by the
white people of that section. He has
always counselled the industry cour-
tesy and conservatism on the part
of his people, but apparently that
counts for nothing with that class of
Rough necks" who delight to sing
"All Coons look alike to us. No ar
rests have been made.

MISSOURI MY OLD HOME.
By Chas. P. Wilson,
jefferson City, Missouri.

go back to the land of my fathers,
Go back to my home in the West;
Where nothing in life troubles or bothers
And every doing his best
Where the good things of life free the clover,
That blooms in the pethorc loan,
go there when my rambles over,
Go back Missouri my home.
There is quiet and thrift in the fertile green valleys
There is oyousness back in the hills,
And the spirit of effort indulgenty rallies
The grinding of grist in the mills
From the lark to the owl is epoch of glory
That the grandeur of Rome
| want to be there for the end of the story
Back there in Missouri my home.
Then, Ho! For the land by the broad Mississippi,
bounty it sweeps its flood
Where pioneers buded wonderful city
By faith in their God and with blood;
Where plenty distributes a generous
From forest from stream and from dome,
No place in the world afford such pleasure
As back in Missouri, my home.

THE WASHINGTON OF SOUTH
s- ~ AMERICA.


We all know the Washington OF
North America, but how many can
speak with certainty of Bolivar, the
Washington of South America? Yet
in real patriotism and sacrifice Boil
war compares with Washington and
is far superior to any other South
American hero. Boliver. born in
what is now Venezuela, studied in
Europe and the United States be-
fore he returned to free his coun-
try from the oppression of Spanish
rule. Like Washington, he had to
fight a continual uphill battle, and
was even compelled on two occa-
sions to seek refuge in the West
Indies; but finally returned to COM
plete the overthrow of the Span
iards. Boliver reaped more reward
than many patriots, for he was not
only president of Venezuela, but af-
ter freeing Peru from Spanish rule,
the southern part of Peru was NAM
ed Bolivia and practically given to
him. But Bolivar had many enemies
and after serving once more as pres
ident of Venezuela, he was given
the choice of staying in that coun-
try and being executed, or going
into exile with a pension of $4,000
a year. He chose the latter SEN
tence.

OHIO FINDS RIVAL TO OUR JOHN
SHELL.

William Uncle Billy Peyton, a
negro believed to have been the old
est man in Ohio if not in the United
States, died at his home near Mari
eta. Ohio. at the age of 1913.
Until a few weeks ago Uncle Billy
worked in the fields every day near
his home at Torch, Washington
county. He distinctly remembered
when Thomas Jefferson was Presi-
dent. Peyton drank liquor and
smoked and chewed tobacco. He
was temperate in his drinking, but
was an inveterate smoker. Walking
was one of his hobbies, and until a
few weeks ago frequently walked
from his home to Little Hooking, a
distance Of eight miles, returning
the same day.

MANY HUSBANDS IN HOME

Although polygamy is we'll
know social institution, the opposite
state of married life-polyandry, in
which one woman is the wife of
more than one mans less practic-
ed, yet is an accepted institution in
parts of the world In Thibet e;-
pecially is polyandry practiced. The
most usual case is where a brother
allows younger brothers to assume
the place of husbands in his home
upon their reaching maturity. AS
might be expected, this state of mar
riage is found only in regions where
conditions are such that one man
would find it very hard to support
or protect a wife. The practice of
killing girl babies and a consequent
shortage of women is another cause.
In Thibet, the country where this
social custom is most prac-
tIced. the majority of the people are
herders and are away from home for
long stretches of time, which fact
help to keep down the number of ex-
cess husbands available for house

ADVOCATES WATER TO RE
PLACE COAL.

How coal crisis such as the
country now faces would be alleviat-
ed by the development of electric
power by water was pictured to the
Senate by Senator Jones, Republic
can, of Washington, who urged the
Senate anew to act on the pending
legislation in the electric develop
gnent of navigable streams.
The bill, already passed to the
House, was laid aside in the Senate
at the extra session to make way
for the peace treaty.
The ultimate development of all
the power available in navigable
streams, the Senator declared,
would be equal to 7S0, 100000 tons
Of coal, representing value of more
than s1,500,000,000 - more coal
than the country now actually pro-
duces. At the same time, Senator
Jones declared, the ultimate devel-
opment would mean the improve
nlent for navigation of more than
1000 miles of the upper reaches of
navigable streams, and besides de-
veloping power would develop sys-
TENS of water transportation.
Twenty-Five States, most of them
IN the West and South, Senator
Jones declared, needed the legisla-
ton to unlock natural resources.
Calling attention to water develop
ment, which, he said; was now going
ahead to renewed speed in Europe
and South America, Senator Jones
declared that if Congress waited too
long before acting it would find
American engineers, capitalists and
machinery makers too busy with
at home.

PRESIDENT BY ONE VOTE

The cynic who maintains that
election returns arc a foIegone con-
clusion Will do we'll to recall some OF
the close decisions that have taken
place in this country. Three men-
Aaron Burr. Tilden and Wade
have missed the Presidency of the
United States by a single vote. In
the tie vote between Tilden and
Hayes. Congress had to appoint a
special commission of fifteen men
ave from the Supreme Court, five
from the Senate, and five from the
House OF Representatives de-
eide the matter. Hayes won by 4
vote of eight to seven.
The case of aaron Barr aid JEFF
ferson is better known. Each had
seventy-thvee electoral votes, al
though both were from The same
party. Jefferson: won the tie and
became President of the United
States, while Burr became Vice
President, as the rule was then. Be
cause of the active opposition of Al
exandeT Hamilton 10 Burr in this
and other political contests. the
tragic duel at Weehawken took
place. BuTr's later attempts tn
found an independent government in
Mexico read like wild romance.

VISITING NURSE IN EVERY
re COUNTY DIR. LOCKS PLAN

What is to be done with the
money from the sale of Red Cross
seals in Kentucky this year? This
inquiry is heard from many persons
not informed of the fact that most
of the money used to fight tubercu-
losis by the Kentucky tuberculosis
Association, to provide visiting
nurses 10 teach the victims of the
plague and their families how to
take care of themselves, comes from
the sale of these little Red Cross
Christmas seals every winter.
A visiting nurse in every county
in Kentucky and a dispensary under
the direction of the ablest physicians
obtainable, besides travelling clinics
to go from county to county where
needed in the fight against tubercu-
losis in the State are the objects to-
ward which DR.. J. S. Lock, execu-
tive secretary of the Kentucky Tu-
berculosis Association, is bending
his energies and which the money
from the sale of Red Gross Christ
mas Seals will make possible, IL
the sale proves large enough.
Visiting nurses are needed badly
in some of the counties where there
are many cases of tuberculosis, a
large number that could be cured, II
given proper attention, to say moth
ing of the prevention of the devel-
opment of other cases through prop
er care of the patients, which the
visiting nurse teaches. The death
rate from tuberculosis and the num-
Der of cases has been greatly re-
duced wherever visiting nurses have
been available.
The National tuberculosis Associ-
alton has sent Captain M. 3.
Thweatt, until recently an officer in
the United States army, into Ken
lucky to help organize the campaign
to sell these stamps and bands The
campaign starts December 1, and it
it hoped the States quota will be
sold by the 10th.

SM0KIN' AND CHEWIN' PRICES
ARE TO SOAR.

The manufacturers of chewing
and smoking tObaccos of all varie-
ties are to increase the prices of
cigarettes, plug and smoking to-
baccos, according to a recent official
announcement. They claim that the
present prices are based on prices
paid producers for tobacco last year
and that the increase makes it nee
essary to boost their prices in turn.
1t is said that there is greater de-
mand for American tobacco than
ever before, caused not only by in
creased consumption in this country
but for the tremendous European de-
mand caused in part by the &C
quaintance that Europeans made
with the tobacco used by the Amer
lean soldiers abroad.

THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT

In this reign of King III. c. of L.
multitude of little things have be-
gun to assume huge appearances
One Of these little things that now
looks big is paper. Paper is so com
mon that little value has heretofore
been attached to ii. We see il scat
tered on the street; we use il to
pack boxes; we wrap packages with
il; and make fires with il. But to-
day, newsprint, one Of the common
est and cheapest grades of paper
costs from 8 to Il cents a pound.
Paper, IL seems, now ranks with

In the United States, the State has
assumed the responsibility for edu-
eating the people within it's borders.
The Federal Government offers and
provides cooperation, advice, infor-
nation and services of great value,
but the right of the State to con-
duct the educational function re-
mains unimpaired. 1t is up to the
State authorities everywhere to see
that they carry out the. duties which
are entrusted to them under this
system of Government When the
State has fallen down, the Federal
Government must take remedial
steps.
Admittedly, the State authorities
are best acquainted with conditions
within their own commonwealth
and with the sentiment of their own
people. They know what should be
done.
In practice, how does this prin-
ways have properly balanced edu-
cational system? Is the right kind
of emphasis laid upon physical ed
ucation? The war has opened our
eyes to health conditions which we
ignored few years ago. We had
been told to watch the health of
American school children, for alarm
ing symptoms, reported everywhere,
showed that the National average
was none too high. But what has
been done? Only a small number of
States have enacted measures
which, in the belief of educational
experts, doctors and others qualified
by training and study to express an
opinion, go to the heart Of the
trouble and provide for real physical
education. What are some of the
essential principles of the well-de-
veloped system? Obviously child
requires exercise, drill, study, -recre-
alton, and rest; he or she needs bal
anced rations, and should be in
structed in sanitation. The care of
the teeth and the feet-in fact, of
every part of the body-is some
thing which has not yet been
learned by every American school
boy and girl.
Unless community has taken
direct and drastic steps~to safeguard
its healthy children and to bring its
sub-normal boys and girls back into
condition, by measure especially
drawn for that purpose, it is quite
likely that some, if not most, of the
important elements enumerated
above have been neglected.
Individual citizens must recog-
nize their duty in this connection by
bringing their own influence to
bear upon their communities, and
upon their Legislatures. Education
al authorities in towns and villages,
as the immediate custodians of the
physical and mental welfare of their
children, are still more directly
concerned with this problem. But,
after all, it is the State Legislator
who must assume the heaviest bur-
den of responsibility. For this rea-
son, a large number of National or
CARNATIONS, which feel that the
problem is upon their conscience.
and which are cooperating through
the medium of the National Physical
Education Service of Washington, !
D. c., desire to call public attention
to the action taken in thirteen |
States in behalf of physical educa-
ton and to the movement which is |
going on in a group of other States !
for the purpose of enacting suitable |
measures.
