The Chicago whip. (Chicago, Ill.) 1919-19??, 1920-09-11
Served Three Terms AS Alderman
Knows No Difference In Color

A careful observation OF his judicial
record stamps him as a man who as a
public official, has lived beyond the
hampcring petty influences which so
often disturb the judicial poise OF
members OF the Municipal Court. He
administers the law according to law
and does not arrogate to himself the
right to determine a defendants case
by the color OF his skin. Advt.

The Chicago whip. (Chicago, Ill.) 1919-19??, 1920-09-11

Mr. George 7 Kenncy, Secretary
Of Maclay Hoyne. in an interview
with repre- sentative. sought to make
clear the attitude OF the States Attor-
.ney in reference to our group. The
interview was sought by virtue of the
TACT OF the almost universal unpopu-
larity OF the States Attorney among
the colored people OF Chicago Mr..
kcnney said, The motive prompting
the States Attorney in his operations
in the so-called black belt has been
not only misunderstood but wilfully
misinterpreted. Mr., Hoync has never
attacked any race OF people as race
but rather has endeavored to attack
a system which happens to infest the
territory in which large number OF
colored people live. In evidence OF
this fact. he has gone into various
other wards and endeavored to rid
the sections of the vicious elements in
order to bring about better social and
community environments for the law
abiding and respectable citizens"
Cites Edward Wilson as an Argumen.
"As an attestation OF this fact,
cite the presence of Mr.. Wilson in the
States Attorneys Office who is a
colorcd man who does not hold his
job by virtue of any political innu-
ence but because of meritorious SER
vice rendered in the Department OF
which he is the head No colored
man can substantiate with facts the
contention that Mr.. Hoyne is mali
ciously and Intentionally prosecuting
the colored people on account OF their
color because he is merely attacking
a system which has fastened Itself
upon certain elements of the colored
people as well as upon other race
groups in the city and which system
he is pledged by his Office to eradi-
cate"
Sincere Effort to Rid City of Vice
Mr. Kenney further stated, mfr.
Hoyne is making sincere and serious
effort to rid the city of its crime and
where his office permits of vice and
the records show that this is not con-
fined to the Second Ward and neither
is the political scheme which makes

A SPLENDID TICKET.

In the opinion of The News the ticket
nominated by the democrats at San Francis
co is the best that could have been chosen.
AS candidate Mr.. Cox has many advantages
over Mr. McAdoo or Mr.. Palmer All fac
lions of whatever trend of thought within
the party, unless it be the extreme prohl-
bitionists can unite upon him and give the
ticket earnest and loyal support. He has
proven to be especially strong in Ohlo'
which is pivotal state. The vice presl-
dental candidate, Mr.. Roosevelt, has not
been conspicuous as national figure and
is not so we'll known, but he is recognized
as an able man and a good democrat, and
will contribute to the success of the party
in November.
The representatives of the party having
now acted, and, having done so well, 1t be-
hooves the democrats of the nation to get
whole heartedly behind the nominees and
give them an overwhelming victory. Here
in Georgia let's roll up the largest majority
for Cox and Roosevelt ever given national
ticket

A Disgrace to the Empire
State OF the South.


from the InomaSVlile times-GhtSEPhiee'
In the penitentiary of the state there are
twenty-nine hundred prisoners, or about
that many, and of that number about one
half are there for manslaughter. This state
ment is hard to believe, and yet it is au-
thentic from the records of the prison COM
mission. One-half of our penitentiary prls-
oners were sent there for varying terms for
having taken human life.
Such record is one that Georgia must
give heed to. 1t is sufficient to tell of it
self the trend of affairs and to point the
great problem of all problems that faces
our people today, the cheapness of human
life. Very few men or women relish the
thought of killing anybody and yet it is ac-
complished so frequently as to make this
state one of a very few with enormous rec
ords for murder of varying degree.
The court records would show much
more conclusive record of Slaughter than
does the penitentiary, for anybody who has
taken the trouble to even casually survey
the records of any or all courts will find
that more are freed than are convicted in
cases of this character. The mere fact that
we are so prone to take human life is
sign that is by no means good and that may
lead to the most disastrous results.
Georgia is ashamed of that record, and
it ought to take steps of all or any KIND
feasible or possible to remedy the situation:
The varying contentious as to the cause OF
these homicides has nothing to do with it
except to warn US where the danger hes
normally We can take such steps as may
prove iustfable in regulating the causes,
but we have to face the inevitable fact that
in the hearts of too many Georgians there
is murder.
The record should be expunged in the
years to come of this very dangerous feat
ure, and it must be done by Kidding the
state of it's murder accessories, the pocket
pistol and the pocket flask They both have
produced more than enough to last for eter-
nifty in this and many other states. Let's
be rid of them and perhaps we may de-
crease the actual killings in Georgia: The
record is disgraceful enough for all citizens
to take an active stand in seeing that men
guilty shall be punished and that the weap-
ons they so commonly use shall be legally
outlawed.

BRYAN'S LOST CAUSE.

Standing in democratic shoes the action
of the San Francisco convention on the pro-
hibition question was the wise course to
take. Prohibition is part of the funda-
mental law of the nation 1t is written into
the constitution 1t was ratified by forty
five states. The saloon is dead issue.
Why, then, should the cadaver be exhumed
and paraded as political issue? Mr.. Bryan
in his argument before the committee in ia
vor of his bone dry plank admitted it was
dead, but that it was necessary to bury the
carcass. The service has been performed.
The forty-fve state legislatures which rati-
fed the amendment did it. The silence of
the platform leaves no chance for a discus
sion of the issue between the two parties 1t
eliminates the question from the campaign,
and leaves the real issue to be decided on
judgment instead of thirst.

Contempt for State Rights.
From the Bainbridge Searchlight.

If the press of the country and every
man who can make a public speech don't
begin a concerted attack on Capitalization
of power in the general government every
state in this union will be but a province
or satrapy in five years. You will find it
within the power of the little seventy-fve
dollar clerk in one of the departments at
Washington to set aside the sovereign pow
er of state. This is not exaggeration.
Then in short while revolution will fol-
low. The writer of this is not a calamity
bowler nor Jobs comforter, but we make
the statement here and now that this dan
ger is very grave and unless our congress-
men and senator's quit bowling down to
propaganda and being downright political
towards we will not have as much power
in the state of Georgia as the provinces of
Turkey. Why even the ancient treaty rights
of Cuba and the Philippines are held more
inviolate by the United States courts than
the rights of state of the union

AN ENCOURAGING SIGN.

The newspapers of the state are taking
up the question of economy in the expendi-
ture of public money, and are urging it as
the true remedy for the bad financial condi-
ton of the public treasures state, county
and municipal INSTEAD of an increase of
the already heavy tax burdens, as has been
the tendency for some years past. 1t is
time to call a halt in that direction and
consider those who pay the money into the
public till instead of those who spend it. 1t
is an encouraging sign when the press of
the state take up that side of the ques-
ton, and change for the better may be
expected. More care should be exercised in
the expenditure of the peoples money, and
more thought given to the welfare of the
citiizens from whose pockets it is taken.

GOVERNMENT SUGAR SALES.

The News recently commented on a state
ment which was printed in a number of
newspapers that the war department had
sold sugar in France at cents a pound
have proved that there was
no foundation for the report. Editor Her
ring, of the Triton Gazette, is in receipt of
a letter from the private secretary of the
Secretary of War in which it is stated that
no sugar has been sold to foreign govern
ment at that price. The letter says:
"About 400 900 pounds were sold to
the American Relief association at IL
cents a pound, 100000 pounds to
France at IL cents pound, and 6,000,-
900 pounds to the British, to replace
jam purchased from the British, sold
on a cost plus transportation basis
from the United States to point of de-
livery Approximately one-fourth of
the quantity was sold at $.0751 and the
remaining three-fourths at S.1941 per
pound.
The News is glad to give publicity to the
above AS the Gazette says, in these days
of political prejudice and partisanry it is
necessary to scan carefully all statements,
even in the guise of news, that concern Of
ficials and their acts.

A Poetic Wedding.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
There is an authentic record of a we'd
ding being performed in rhyme Down in
Mississippi when blushing Bette johnson
and bold James Davis appeared for mar
riage before Judge Norman Moore the latter
said:
"Jim, will you take Bet
Without regret,
To love and cherish
Until one of you perish
And is laid under sod,
SO help you God?"
The bridegroom replied in the affirmative.
Then, turning to Bette, the judge con-
tinued:
"Bet will you take Jim
And cling to him,
Both out and in,
Through thick and thin,
Holding him to your heart
Until death do you part"
A modest bow of consent was given by
the bride and then Judge Moore dismissed
the happy couple with these words:
Through life's alternating joy and strife,
now pronounce you man and wife"

Sweet Potato Losses.
From the Macon Evening News.

Many thousands of dollars are lost an
nually by disregarding proper storage and
marketing methods, assert specialists of the
bureau of markets of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. Losses from faulty
methods of storage are enormous. 1t has
been estimated that approximately 50,000,
600 bushels were stored in earth banks last
season. The usual waste of about one-half
by rot and shrinkage would show loss of
5000, 900 bushels, worth in producing sec
tions at least s3O,0OO,OOO. Better types Of
storage houses have shown a loss of not
over per cent. The rapid gain in number
of well constructed storage houses is lead
ing to increased shipments.
Sweet potato producers also lose by not
keeping sufficiently informed as to market
conditions. Not only should they be thor
oughly familiar with conditions at nearby
market centers but with conditions at 9TH
er markets as we'll. Compared with the to-
tai crop or with the movement of white po-
tatoes, relatively few sweet potatoes are
shipped north although there is often
good demand for them at some points. The
farmer should know where these points are
and should know which types of varieties
are preferred.

ABOUT BABY TALK.

Marguerite Rogers Franklin, speech elm
ic specialist for the kindergarten division
of the federal bureau of education, is op-
posed to baby talk. By that she means
that the gurglings and mumblings of moth
ers to their babies must cease if the depart
ment's efforts are carried out. Likewise
the first incoherent and lisping words of the
baby must be rigidly prohibited. Baby must
not talk except when it uses precise En-
glsh, when its grammatical construction
and its pronunciation are strictly scholarly.
The government expert" has never been
a mother. Therefore, her profound ideas
are synthetic. But even her limited knowl-
edge of the science of speech and of the
physiological development of the voice or
gans in the baby, to say nothing of its men,
tai development, ought to have shown her
the folly of her theories. 1t is just as in
telligent to argue that the baby should not
be permitted to walk until it is able to
move with the military tread of the trained
soldier as to contend that it should not be
allowed to talk until it has mental power
to express its ideas in connected sentences
and to utter the words with the enunciation
of trained maturity. Speech is an acquired
accomplishment. If a baby never heard
speech it would develop no power to speak.
Mutes may have perfect vocal organs, but
because they are unable to hear they do
not develop or use these organs. The baby
undergoes a development from the time it
begins to cry until it dies. 1t learns facts
not by combinations of thought, but by sep
arate thoughts. 1t learns what water is.
When it is thirsty it expresses its desire
for water in a word or even in the part of
a word. 1t may be able to say only iva,
but it is better to have it do that than re-
main silent until it can say, Il am thirsty;
give me a drink of water Yet that is
what the wise woman of the bureau of edu-
cation would have done. She should get
out among the practical and intelligent
mothers of the land and gather some knowl-
edge to replace her distorted freaks of
mentality which she is now displaying.
How long will the people permit their
good money to be paid for such absurd
things as this so-called government expert
is teaching? And there are hundreds of
others, even who are being paid for equally
as useless and senseless work. The states,
too, are rapidly falling in line with similar
waste of public money.

Second Fiddling the Home Paper
From the Fl. Gaines Georgian.

The Southwest Georgian dislikes to play
second fiddle" on wedding announcements
about people residing in the vicinity of Fort
Gaines AS a rule the editor of this paper
keeps posted regarding the marriage prob
abilities in this community but we always
refrain from publishing items about such
delicate matters until authorized by proper
persons SO to do. Neither do we make a
practice of interrogating the families of
rumored prospective brides, because the in
PRODUCTION of such subjects by persons out
side of the home circle could precipitate
embarrassing situations. 1t is not unreas-
enable for us to expect to receive copies of
announcements of marriages and engage
ments of some people before they are sent
to distant big-town dailies. Keep in mind
that we usually know about such things in
this locality long before the Atlanta and
Macon papers are told and that there is
nothing to hinder US Except regard for in
volved parties desires) from publishing al
most any rumor that comes to our ears. 1t
also should be remembered that the little
old home paper" is not expected to wait for
the big city dailies to print write-up of
the wedding week or two after it hap
pens-and then bring up the rear with
clipped" report. People do not, we know,
Intentionally act snobbishly by snubbing
their home newspaper in this matter of an
nouncements, but the average country ed
itor holly resents being ignored even mad
vertently.

Check Up Merchants.
From the Baskin (Ky.) Independent.

Local merchants in localities where the
mail order houses are pulling strongly may
well be reminded that these great trading
mediums obtain most of their results from
effective advertising; therefore, home mer-
chants must advertise adequately if they
are to successfully meet this keen competi-
ton.
Sears Roebuck Co. have 200 girls en-
ployed checking newspapers to ascertain
the volume and kinds of advertising car
ried. In towns where the local store adver-
Using in small, or otherwise unimportant
special campaigns are instituted and bun
dies of literature are distributed.
1t is an actual fact that the check-up sys-
tenn of Sears-Roebuck Co. reveals that the
business returns to the company from
towns where the local advertising in the
home papers is light are very high when
compared with receipts from localities
where the home merchants use large
amounts of space.
The lesson is plain. The local merchants
must fight fire with fire. They must fight
mail order propaganda with home town ad-
Ivertising. We all know that newspaper ad-
Ivertising is the best form of advertising IN
la merchandising campaign. Various self
Istyled merchandising councillors" assert
that the mail order house catalogue Is one
of the best examples of direct advertising
the use of space in home town newspaper
where the dealers goods and prices are
printed? The home store is within easy
reach and goods may be inspected with the
expenditure of a few moments time. This
is real, direct advertising. 1t transfers an
article from the dealers show case directly
! nto the customers hands.

NOTHING BUT POLITICS.

Two gentlemen met and in reply to the
query, what do you know?" one of them
said, Nothing but politics"
Do you really know politics? Both of
the recent big political conventions nomi-
mated men for president who, according to
the average political representation, did not
have ghost of chance when the roll calls
began. Yet as roll call followed roll call
the high men gradually lost and Messrs.
Harding and Cox gradually gained votes un-
til they were nominated. How all this was
done has been told hundred times in as
many different ways. Yet, it is dollars to
doughnuts the way it was really done has
not been related.
Certain "moves" in the political game
are made when the purpose is seldom I'M
derstood One can guess, but guessing is
confession of ignorance. The fact is COM
paratively few men really know politics

A USEFUL GEORGIAN.

The Savannah Press, commenting on re-
cent communication given the papers by
Hon. Joe Hall concerning the states empty
cash box and its financial condition, pays
this tribute to the rugged old statesman of
Bib:
Mr.. Hall, who is a patriot and a
thinker. has repeatedly called attention
to the bad state of affairs into which
the state was drifting. He has been
compelled frequently to vote against
special appropriations in the house and
against the final passage of the general
appropriations bills on the ground that
these bills appropriated money
than could be provided for, during the
years in which the appropriations, came
due, from the revenues of the state. Mr..
Hall is fearless and a conscientious
man. He has given valuable time and
thought to state legislation. No man
deserves more of the state.
The News has more than once alluded to
the value of Mr.. Halls service to the state
of Georgia as a member of the general as
sembly, and it is to be regretted that he re-
tired from that body after many years of
usefulness as lawmaker. He owes it to the
people to return to the legislature, and Bibb
county would do public service by elect
ing him for life. One may not always agree
with him, but there is no one who does not
respect him and concede his worth as bal
ance wheel in the states legislative body.
