Secretary of National Baptist Pub
fishing Board Presents Encouraging
Report at Norfolk.
! Norfolk, Va, Sept. 12.-(Recipro-
cal news service with a report
brim full of facts and figures that
were appealing, pleasing and COM
mending, the Rev. R. H. Boyd, was
heard before the National Baptist
Convention in this city. The twenty
second annual report on the work of
the National Baptist Publishing Board
and its plant located at Nashville,
Tenn, occupied the center of the
stage when it was read. 1t is in
pamphlet form and shows that about
$500, 100000 had passed through the
institution during the past year which
closed August 31st. The business de-
partment alone representing the man
ufacturing plant where everything
can be turned out from postal card
tQa cyclopedia, or from calling
&sfd to Bible, hand handled 1885,
1890, an increase of more than
100000 over any previous year of
It's existence
When DR.. Boyd was introduced by
the Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., the chair
man of the Board, who had served
in the capacity for twenty-three
years, a dealing applause greeted
him by the Baptists who had gather
ed from every section of the United
States at this annual convention.
The increase in the circulation of
Sunday School literature, the in
crease in the production Of religious
tracts and methods, the improved
method of Sunday School work with
the new periodicals and improved
paraphenalia for prosecuting the work
were given much attention in DR..
Boyd's report and address. No at
tempt was made to read the entire
report, it was circulated in PAM
phlet form among the representatives,
but it was emphasized during the
remarks that not played by the Board
itself in the withstanding the promi-
nent part butting their part towards
winning the war, having fourteen
stars in their service flag they had
met every adverse condition such as
shortage of labor, high price of ma
terial and the increase in the cost
of labor to the entire satisfaction
Of all. DR.. Boyd showed that a news
press, one of the lated designs, a
duplex perfecting, enormous cost ca
pable Of turning out had only recent
ly been installed at an the newspaper
publications with more rapidity. The
invoced value of the plant was shown
to be more than $350.000.00, those
on the pay roll number ISL, while
the operating expenses of the plant
for the past fiscal year aggregated
$4,000 per day.
Our whole desire has been to pro-
mote better religious literature from
Baptist point of view and to keep
steadily employed Negro men and
women who are not able to find sim
liar employment in institutions oper-
ated by members of the other race.
We only want an open door to OPP
portunity and better regulated COM
mercial enterprise for the rising gen.
GRAFTON. l am willing to give the
hinder of my years for the service
my people," declared the venerable
secretary, who is now entering his
seventy-sixth year. When he had
finished number of addresses COM
plimenting his work were made by
the leaders of his denomination.

veal the grave character of this kind
Of lawlessness as it grows steadily
in our nation.
America has got to stop this moch
justice, or mob law will throw us
back into barbarism.
1t is only lynch law as applied
to the Negro, but lynch law as ap-
piled to regulations and principles
of right that threaten to undermine
our country.
Not unmindful of the wickedness of
lawlessness applied to the Negro
criminal many men are turning to
the same danger menancing in other
ways.
1t is blind hatred born of bitter
experience that all men, irrespective
Of their political or economic opin-
ions, have fair trials when charged
with offenses.

ADOPTED BY SENATE
FOREIGN COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON, Oct 22-Four re-
vised reservations to the peace treaty
were adopted today by the senate for
eign relations committee, with the ad-
ministration leaders voting solidly
against them.
The committee also adopted a pre-
amble to the reservation providing

fective, until three of the other allied
and associated powers had agreed to
the senate reservations This, too,
was opposed by the administration

The four reservations approved re-
lated to Article X, the Monroe doc
trine, withdrawal, and domestic ques-
tions. On most Of the roll calls the
division was IL to 6. all Of the Repub-
licans and Senator Shields, Democrat,
Of Tennessee, voting in the affirma-
tive. 1t was the first time Senator
McCumber had voted with the ma
jority on the treaty.
The reservation adopted relating to
Article X was identical, except for the
transposition of one phrase, with the
one which President Wilson announced
on his western trip that he would be
Obliged ito regard as a rejection of
the treaty"

Census Applications for
Wayne are Still Short

"Not enough applications from
Wayne County residents to take the
examination for census enumerator,
have yet been received" said Jesse
Stevens of Liberty, census head for
the Sixth district, Wednesday.
Wayne county must have 46 enum-
applied. Many people have received
application blanks but have not
turned them in. All applications
must be turned in not later than Mon
day, October 27.
Census enumerating is pleasant
work and the pay Is based upon the
number of people enumerated" said
Stevens. THE enumeration in Rich
mond will last about weeks and the
enumerators will receive from 2 to
cents a person. This should make an
average wage Of between .&4-5e to IS
for an hour day. The enumeration
in the country will last 80 days and
the enumerator receives 20 to 80
cents a person, which should net him
between $3.50 and SIS day. The per
son may finish the work before the
allotted time.
The examination is open to all cit
liens Of the United States, man or
woman, between the ages Of 1S to 70,
who can read and write English.
Blanks may be obtained from Stew
ems at Liberty and few at the local
postoffice. Persons holding blanks
and not intending to use them are
urged to pass the mon to some one
else who will.

BERLIN, Oct 22.-Count Johann
Won Bernstorff, former German ambas-.
sador to the United States. who yes
terday was the principal witness be-
fore the committee Investigating the
responsibility of German officials in
causing the outbreak of the war, re-
sumed his testimony today.
While on the stand yesterday, Count
Won Bernstorff told of the efforts of
President Wilson in 1914 and 1916 to
find way to bring peace proposals
before the allied governments.
German peace tentatives, made from
time to time, however, handicapped
Mr.. Wilson in the opinion of the for.
mer ambassador, being construed by
the allies as evidence of weakness on
the part of Germany.
1t was Count Won Bernstorff's i'm
preston that Mr.. Wilson intended to
propose temporary peace which would
not touch on territorial issues and
would leave major problems connect.

belligerents.

SIDE OF
LIVING COST TOLD
BY SENATOR CAP?ER
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct 22-The farm
ers side of the high cost of living
question was presented to the senate
today by Senator Capper, Republican,
of Kansas, who declared that while
farmers are selling their products at
a loss in declining markets, the con-
sumers are paying rising prices.
Faulty distribution was blamed
largely for this remarkable specta
Gle" Senator Capper deplored the
numerous industrial strikes and the
small representation given agriculture
in the industrial conference.
an our efforts to get rid Of the
high cost of living disease" said Mr..
Capper, Il fear we are in great danger
of dying Of the remedy. AS a result
of Washington's efforts to reduce high
prices by breaking down entirely the
cost of food, the remarkable spectacle
of rise of one per cent in the cost
of living. coincident with market
drops that are putting livestock rails
ers out of business and causing SER
ious losses to other producers, has
resulted.
Illustrating the anomalous situation
of farmers and consumers, Senator
Capper said farmers are selling their
"HedI at d lOSS, duuIA5. IL ldheS
four and half bushels of wheat to
make a barrel of flour. The wheat
raiser gets about S8S7 for the wheat,
the miller gets S12.70; the baker.
$3.50, and the hotel keepers here in
Washington. as it is doled out in thin
slices, S587."
Among the remedies suggested by
Senator Capper were cessation OF
federal government propaganda, which
tends to bear down the prices of farm
products"
Legislation to free the livestock
producer of alleged control of the
markets by the packers also was
urged by Senator Capper.
Price making in necessities of
life." he said, should never again be
left to the gamblers of the exchange
or to corporate monopoly"
