A MOTHER test in the great ques-
u ton of DEMOCRACY that our
1 nation in its attempt to deceive
the world as to the splendid govern
ment of its local affairs and will brook
no interference from outsiders, Is
brought to our notice, and that strong
ly TOO, in the demand made by go
whites of the Clayton Addition, when
they called at the home of Claude De
Priest, city fireman, at 264O Gaylord
street, last Tuesday evening, and cool

allowed to live in this part of the city
and they would see to his removal This
committe Gas it is called) was led by
Foster Cline, duly registered attor-
ney-at-law, who was II member of the
district attorneys staff some years
ago. and who was Il vigorous prose
cutor of law breakers as well as an
ardent advocate of the constitution of
this country granting every legal right
to the citizen who has given proof of
his support, respect and obedience to
our great Republican commonwealth.
We have said it again and again; eX-
pressed it often in the columns of this
journal, that however much the mem
bers of this dominant race, in their
respective capacities, officials or 9th
erwise, will pat you on the shoulder
and wishing they were many more
like you," the usual expression, there
is always the little margin for them TO
play in. 1t was this same Foster Cline
who remained perfectly quiescent at
the time when our legal champion, the
late William Bolden Townsend, fought
that vicious and pernicious 'segregat-
ed property owners bill" that came up
70 our city council and was thrown
out by Townsend's explanation of the
Colorado statute, which made great
impression, backed up by the array
of evidence from leading colored and
white residents of this city of several
years residence and unquestionabie
reputation. This Foster Cline, who
played the dual part even though he
was in the peoples service and receiv-
ing the peoples money, comes again in
the Iimelight and says in leading this

WILSON GREETS LEGION

Cleveland, o., Sept. 24-President
Wilson, through the Legionaire, the
weekly publication of the posts in Guy
ahoga county, yesterday sent a mes
gion. which will open a three days
convention here Monday.
He congratulated the members of the
Legion on the ideals exemplified by
their service during the war and by
their efforts since the war as an Or
ganization devoted to public welfare.
The message follows:
Years are now beginning to sepa-
rate us from the day Of trial and deeds
OF valor which marked Americas par
ticipation In the world war AS the
number OF the years increases the
things which you did in foreign fields

ity with which you fought fittingly rep
resented the faithfuness with which
those at home labored and sacrificed
in the same cause. The result OF 1t all
was a military victory In France and n
moral victory In the world. the deeds
OF valor, the deeds of high thinking.

will be good for all future generations
to continue your practice of cherishing
these memories and keeping them
bright as an example and inspiration.
my own high privilege OF leadership
was. a daily privilege There was no
need to urge; we all went forward as
comrades to great end and we can
survey the result with gratitude that
America was permitted to make so
great a contribution to righteousness
among peoples and among nations"

ings. He asserted the stimulation TO
savings was not interest return. but
merely the inducement OF safety.
THE real question at issue" he said.
appears to me to be not only Justice
to deposltors, but also whether the ag-
gregate OF national savings can be in
creased by offering larger return on
postal savings deposits, whether more
savings can be pulled out OF stockings
wastes and Injuries and wild cats
Every dollar so saved Is contribution
TO national welfare"
Mr. Hoover said he preferred estab-
lishment OF some institution modelled
after the farm loan bank rather than
have mortgages on new construction
exempted from the income tax. He
said he thought the people would be
willing to submit To government direc.
ton in reconstruction problems. "if II
took the form OF campaign OF educa-
ton" With the recuperation abroad.
he said, he expected 70 slackening of
exports and consequently relieving OF
domestic conditions. He said this would
not solve the immediate situation, but
would help.

added, examination of any annual pos

Mr.. Hoover declared II would seem

Possibility That Arab Tribes viii Be
Reunited as One Result of
the Great War.

One Of the most interesting figures
at the opening of the peace conference
was Prince Einir Faisul, son of the
king OF the Hedjaz, the latter known
as "the grand old man Of the East He
is very handsome and his picturesque
headdress was well suited to his style.
As the prince strobe up and down the
room before the opening Of the session
be was perfect type of Arab beauty
and dignity. The representation Of his
fine race in the peace conference and
their present effort to establish their
ancient kingdom recall the general
opinion which, believe, is held among
orientaIists. that the Arabs are des-
tined ultimately to play a big part in
the world. I have seen them in the
districts around the Suez canal and
the Red sea and have wondered wheth-
er they would not again become a
great. people. Individually, it seemed
to me that. they were finer than any
other orientals. Asa wandering race
they have lacked the cooperation and
cohesion which enable nation to
make headway. 1t would be one OF
the historic romances if out of the
world war the Arabs emerged as an
organized people prepared to assume
heavy responsibilities in the near
East, New York Times.

Precious Stones in Nebraska.

A man from Nemaha county. Ne
braska. went hunting moonstones in
California and found two good speei-
mems. He remembered that he had
seen rocks of similar formation on his
farm, and when he came home began
looking for moonstones along the cow
path. When he had made collection,
AS he thought, he sent them to the
state geologist, who pronounced them
agate, chalcedony, topaz and tourma-
lines. From these jeweler cut %
evals 81 moonstone, mocha, sardonyN
and moss, and carneIian agate, and 80
diamond cuts of others, including aine-
ihysts and rubies. These gems. which
have been named the finest OF the KIND
in Nebraska range in color from very
