Senator Sherman Announces War On
 Henry FOrd's Son

Washington, Feb. 18.-Henry Ford would have been defeated for United States senator from Michigan if the opposing candidate "had not spent 20 cents" because of the war record of his son, Edsel Fords Senator Sherman, republican, Illinois, told the senate today, adding that he expected to get young Ford's exemp- tion record before the committee on elections, Flaw or no law, objection or no objection"
 Referring to young Ford as the "scion of the house of Ford" "The Duke of Detroit" Senator Sherman declared his repeated efforts to ob- tain draft records from the adjutant general of the army had been fruit less. He was urging an amendment to the second deficiency bill making draft records available as public documents.
 "The democratic central committee spent more money in an effort to elect the father of this distinguished military dodger to the senate than was spent in the Newberry cam paign," declared Senator Sherman, land Ford was defeated purely on the war record of his son Edsel."

A LESSON FOR SOME NORTHERN
 COMMUNITIES.

People of other sections long on talk but short on wisdom concern ing the South and the negro ought to learn from the tragedy in Pine Bluff last week, when George vicks, negro assailant of colored women and murderer of City Detective C. C. Lynn, was shot and killed. The circumstances connected with the af- fair will not be published by those who are continuously censuring Southern people for alleged injust- ice to the colored man, but who are blind to the outrages inflicted on the negro and others in their. own communities. The colofed people of Pine Bluff and Jefferson have op- portunity to correct false impress sions and do good for their race by taking such action as will tend to ret aright the misguided, foolish people Of Northern sections whose misdirected efforts are doing injury to the negro and the South.
 Vicks attacked women of his race. The law, represented by Southern officers, sought to save the women by incarcerating the criminal. vicks committed murder - cold -bloodedly and without provocation he slew an officer. Did Pine Bluff seek ven- xeance on all black people, as they do in some sections of the North under similar provocation They did not. White men and colored men determined that vicks at large was dangerA Aus-- that vicks must be taken dead or alive. He was taken
 dead. It was the only way to pre-. vent him from killing others.
 With vicks dead, the body was turned over to an undertaken and inferred, { the sheriff discouraging suggestions of few excited persons that it bA burntd. There was no soutbreak; no semblance of racial clash; no thought of harming any innocent negro.
 We doubt if there is community in the North that would have han dled the situation as well.
 If alleged friends of the negro will devote themselves to aiding him to become more efficient, as produc- CT. will seek to discourage crime among negroes, and help him become a better citizen--as negro leaders of wisdom in the South are doing they will better serve the interests of the colored race.

Grain Corporations Abolition Opposed
 by, Rep. Summers

There could b.. no export of American wheat were the grain corporation abolish ed, he said, and the result would be the dumping of large quantities of wheat on the domestic market.

MUST USE MORE COTTON.

Explaining "Why Woolen Clothing II High" the February Rotarian, the official publication of the Rotary organization, declares: :
 If every ounce of wool in the world were made into 16-ounce cloth Comparatively light weight) there would be but 1-5 yards for each of the inhabitants of the Unit ga States and Europe; not enough to make suit of clothes; nor would there be any left for the people of Canada and the rest of the world. There would be no wool left for Blankets, overcoats, carpets, auto mobile robes, felts for boots, and EA hundred other articles in which wool is used. People arc said to be paying big prices for suits that are mot pure virgin wool, but that in many instances contains shoddy. |This is old wool that has been worked over. It is said thsrc are no {S&$puSl$tS teSto Lu8S VIII IStSol tut ;1resence of .all wool yhoddy" in arments.
