Men From The Army
Especial to the Tribune.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug 26.-
Coming upon the heels of another
bill that just had been introduced to
prohibit the intermarriage of white
and Colored, Representative Caraway
of Davis, Tenn, introduced a bill TO
prohibit the enlistment of any mem
ber of the Negro race in the mill
tary or naval services of the United
States of America, and directing the
discharge of all members of the race
now serving in any branch of the mill
tary or naval service of the United
States.
The southern members of congress
seem to be running wild on the bases
when it comes to introducing bills to
curb the freedom of the Negro race.
The affairs of the government are
coming to bad end when the money
of honest taxpayers is used to sup
port such narrow-minded statesmen
as represent some sections of the
south. To them the only way to gain
a national reputation is by constantly
hammering on the Negro.

AUSTIN, Tex. Aug. 26.-Speaking
at the meeting of the State Farmers
Institute this morning, j. E. Clayton.
a Negro of Manor, Travis county,
who is a member of the field force OF
the Texas Department of Agriculture,
gave assurance that there is no occa-
sion for uneasiness among the white
people of Texas of trouble by the
Negro race.
There seems to be unrest over the
state that the Colored people are 60
ing to give the white people trouble, +"
said Clayton. There is no foundation
for this. | stand here and say for
the $4,000 Negroes in Texas that they
have no intention whatever of pull
ing away from the white people. They
want your help and they want to help
you. They are not going to he
misled; they know who are their
friends"
Clayton told about the Negroes
when they meet in convention of
praying to the Lord to take care of
the white people. "They know that
the white folks have the money in
the banks and if the Lord will take
care of the white folks the Colored
people know that they will get some

Government Report
Especial to the Tribune.

WASHINGTON, Aug 26.-Attorney
General Palmer said today there was
evidence that the government cam
paign to reduce the cost of living al
ready was bearing fruit. A prominent
vegetable packer of Maryland wrote
Mr. Palmer that prices in many lines
were beginning to ease off, as it be-
came evident that the department of
justice meant business in announcing
that criminal proceedings against
hoarders and profiteers would be in
stituted wherever the laws were vio-
lated.
I'VE want to make clear, however"
the attorney general said, that moth
ing we can do can change the immut-
able economic laws on which prices
depend If we can increase the sup
ply by greater production and lessen
demand by greater saving on the part
of the people then the cost of living
should come down. We can help that
along by forcing hoarders to put on
the market food held out for an adj
vance in prices and further by holding
up to public scorn or by prosecuting
if congress gives us the criminal
amendment to the food control law
those who are guilty of trying to ex-
act greater profit than is reasonable
and just We are going to make the
market-that is the law of supply and
demand-operate normally instead of
artificially"

A GREATER TEST.
New York Globe)

Since the Negro has had his lib
critics abused, his constitutional
rights laughed at, his person insult
ed, it is a greater test to ask him to
appeal to the law than it is to ask
the same thing of the white rowdies
who have been the aggressors in most
of the recent race conflicts. The re-
quest must still be made, however,
for when both sides descend alike ia
the brutal arguments of the mob the
angels themselves might despair of
bringing peace.
