that part of the country now is show
ing its heroism by race riots and
lynchingS.
The Negro here became the goat"
OF social wrongs. He serves as the
sacrifice, like the Jews in Ukraine
and Poland; and, therefore, the Jew
can so deeply mourn and feel with
the Negro in his tragic condition.
One bright star in the Omaha trag-
edy has enlightened the noble-hearteG
people of America. That is the he
roic holding of tn city mayor of
Omaha. An elderly man of 60, who
defended the victim until the last
minute and almost sacrificed his life.
He was ready to fall as a martyr
to the madness of the mob. He al
lowed himself to be hanged, but
would not surrender to the cry for
the Negroes blood.
Such heroes and martyrs for JUS
tice are not so very common among
the American elected masters. They
are more willing to surrender to the
mob, and even defend the mob to
the face of the world
For as we know--a mob consists
of many voters, and it hardly pays
to disagree with mob of that kind

the member of the World Trade Club
first undertook to explain, in one
minute, all that needed to be known
of metric units. He did it to the
satisfaction of eminent auditors. Here
is how he did it:
Learn only the units dollar, me-
ter, liter, gram:-dollar. the measure
of value; meter, the measure of
length; liter, measure Of bulk; gram,
for weight. You know all about the
American dollar. The metric units,
meter, liter, gram, are lust like dol
lar, divided decimally and multi
piled decimally. If you want to COM
pare metric unite with present units,
the meter is 10 per more than the
yard; 500 grams is about 10 per
cent more than the pound avoirdu-
pois, the liter is per cent less
than the U. S. liquid quart (13 per
cent less than the British LIQUID
quartz THAT is all 80 per cent need
to use the metric standards"

LIFE OF COLORED MAN VALUED
AT 81 BY JURY.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 1.-The
value of human life was placed at
81 by a jury in Circuit Division 2.

A verdict for the amount was rem
dered in favor of P. Dallas Washing
ton, administrator of the estate of
Daniel Turner, Colored, who died as
the result Of a fall caused by the
breaking of wooden facing guard
ing an embankment ON Nicholas ave-
nue., in Anacostia.
The administrator sued the Dis
trict of Columbia for $4,000 damages
and at previous trial was awarded
S1,00, but the verdict verdict was re-
versed by the Court of Appeals
and new trial ordered. The new trial
jury held the District responsible, but
assessed the damage at only 81, the
court instructing them that they
should base their verdict only on the
earning power of the deceased, who
was 20 years old and made only
Sc per week.

ment officials associated with the At
torney General in the campaign to
force down living costs, including
Director General Of Railroads Hines,
was considered in some quarters as
summary of the governments po-
sition in the face of the recently re-
newed demand of railroad workers
for an increase in pay. The railroad
crafts tactly-agreed in August with
the suggestion of President Wilson
! TO postpone their demands for in
creased pay for ninety days, to
await efforts of the government to
bring down prices.
I'm August" the Attorney Generals
statement says in connection with
demands for increased wages by rail-
road shopmen, based on the increased
cost of living, the President announ-
ced to the public in view that the
cost of living would be lowered as
soon as there were settled conditions
Of production and of commerce, as
soon as the treaty of peace was rati-
fed and as soon as merchants, man
ufacturers, farmers and miners had
certain basis of calculation.
More Production Needed.
In statement TO the shopmen
themselves the President declared
that the primary step was to increase
production and facilitate transport
tation, so as to make up for the
destruction wrought by the war and
the terrible scarcities it created. The
President added that the governmnt
had taken up, with all possible vigor,
the task of bringing the profiteer to
book, making the stocks of neces-
saries in the country available at
lower prices, stimulating production
and facilitating distribution.
THE movement inaugurated at
that time to gain control over the
cost of living has been largely in the
hands of the Department of Justice.
1t should be- helpful to point out
what has already been accomplished
and what further steps are in con-
temptation. To alleviate the stu
alton, it is necessary to look meek
and ascertain what the trend of
wages has been in past years.

JEWISH DAILY SPEAKS AGAINST
LYNCHING.

TIL following editorial is from "ThC
Jewish Daily Forward" of recent date
and is a scathing denunciation. The
editorial tends to show that the He,
brews are with us:
The Black Stain Spreads.
Again a massacre on Negroes, anC
again in state in the North, where
the Negroes life has always beer
considered sour.
In many instances is the tragedy
of Omaha more frightful, more muir
derous than the lynchings which oc-
cur in the South. The mob in Oma-
ha acted like wild band of savages
and they simply could not feel con-
tended with the blood of their victim
After they hanged him. and riddled
his body with hundreds of bullets
they dragged him through the streets
as mad dogs pull their prey. And
among the widest of this mob were
young maids and women. They not
only entered the wild dance, but they
took pleasure in the act. And even
the following day, when the drunk
enness passed, those women related
to their friends with pride the active
role which they played in that bloody
ceremony.
The answer which the civilized
white citizen of Omaha gives is the
old known, "The Negroes became
wild lately, and attacked white wom-
en-, and therefore, they must be
lynched." This same answer was Civ
en-, in Washington. Chicago, and
wherever the Negro massacres oc-

But the true reason is surely the
same as the true reasons of mas
sacres in other cities. The massa-
ores are the result of the present
economical circumstances and the old
injustices against the black people.
And for BOTH the responsibility rests
upon the cursed capitalist system
which derives it's, gains by spread
ing hatred between man and man:
and by causing wars for the piece

ers and the other.
The Negroes were fooled into the

by capitalists agents. They were
promised miraculous advantages if
they would leave the South and en-
ter the industrial cities of the North.
and so, they came.
They risked their lives and their
freedom because the governments of
the Southern states employed all COM
pulsory rules to keep them back
South. They came North and sold
their health, their sweat and blood
to those bosses. They could not find
any homes as the whites did not
want them as neighbors. The re-

Food Prices, But Asks for Coop
GRAFTON OF All Honest Citizens.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Expectation
of decline in retail food prices be-
ginning between January 1 and
March l was expressed tonight by
Attorney General Palmer in a state
ment summing up the efforts of the
government to date in forcing down
the cost of living.
"The cost of living, already under
control" said the Attorney General,
"can be reduced if every one who
produces will produce his utmost, if
those who buy and consume will save
and eliminate extravaganza and If all
honest people will join with the De-
7artment Of Justice in stamping out
profiteering and boarding."
Explaining that a downward trend
in retail food price ordinarily was
shown during the first two months
of year, Palmer said it was the
hope of the government that this
trend will he accelerated this year
the campaign initiated by the
government, which is just now gett-
ing well under way"
Although statistics compiled by the
government show that in previous
years retail food prices increased du-
ring the fall months. Mr.. Palmer said
that since August this year such
prices had been maintained practi-
cally stationary.
Only since October %. when neces-
sary amendments to the Lever food
control act were passed the Attorney
Generals statement said. has 1t been

cases of profiteering and boarding.
From October 20 to date. 179 prose-
cutions have been instituted, and
