WISHING

Do you wish the world were better?
Let me tell you what to do;
Set a watch upon your actions,
Keep them always straight and
true;
Rid your mind of selfish motives,
Let your thoughts be clean and
high.
You can make little Eden
OF the sphere you occupy.
Do you wish the world were wiser?
Well, suppose you make start
BY accommodating wisdom
In the scrapbook of your heart.
Do not waste one page on folly;
Live to learn, and learn to live,
If you want to give men knowledge,
You must get it ere you give.
Do you wish the world were happy?
Then remember day by day
Just to scatter seeds of kindness
AS you pass along the way;
For the pleasures of the many
May be ofttimes traced to one,
AS the hand that plants an acron
Shelters armies from the sun.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

TRYING TO KEEP PEACE
IN IRELAND WHILE THE
NEGOTIATIONS ARE ON

London Oct 1.-THE British and
Irish delegates, pending resumption
of the Irish conference tomorrow,
were today considering alleged
breaches of the truce in Ireland ana
endeavoring to devise means by which
they might be avoided during the ne
gotiations looking 20 a settlement
the future of Ireland. Thsi was the
first difficulty faced by the conferees,
the assumption by the Dial Eareinn
of the functions OF government in Ire
land having caused much irritation
here Actual outbursts of conflicts
with the crown forces are regarded a.
less serious than the virtual oustine
of the British authorities by the Sim
Fein courts and police, as the crown
forces cannot, without breaking tho
truce. take active measures against
this policy on the part of the Sim
Fem.
Under the terms of the truce. Il
crown forces must not carry arms,
which the British government alleges
the Sim Feiners do.

NEGRO ORGANIZATIONS
TELL HOUSE COMMITTEE
ABOUT XII KLUX KHAN

Washington. Oct. 12.-Before call
ing William j. Simmons, of Atlanta,
imperial wizard of the Ku KluX
Khan, to the witness chair, the house
rules committee heard representa-
tives of negro organizations today in
support OF resolutions providing for
congressional investigation of the
order. 1t was expected that Mr.. Sim
mons would be put on the stand dur
ing the day to speak for the Khan and
10 give the committee the full story
OF its activities as he saw it.
William Monroe Trotter, of Boston,
speaking for the National Equal
Rights League, the first witness, de-
clared the Khan was "a private unof-
fetal organization which interferes
with personal liberties of people most
of whom are outside its membership
Such Interference, he charged, was
an attempt to prevent proper exer-
else of government.
The method of coercion,9 Trotter
said is shown by the sending OF
threatening letters to persons to
cease doing certain things" and by
use of hooded gown. He character
lied the khan as a real menace to the
personal security of millions OF
Americans.

Pueblo Most Serious
BY far the most severe of the dis
asters in the United States during the
period covered by the Red Cross re-
port was the Pueblo flood early in
June, 1921 The rehabilitation prob
lem confronting the Red Cross In
Pueblo was one of the most difficult
in recent years. When the first news
of the horror was flashed throughout
the country, the American Red Cross
National Headquarters responded with
a grant of 100000 for relief work.
Governor Shoup of Colorado, appre
clating the long and successful expert
ence of the Red Cross in organizing
disaster relief work, placed the en-
tire responsibility for the administra-
ton of relief in it's hands.
In response to appeals from Pres
dent Harding, Governor Shoup and
other governors of western states and
through local chapters of the Red
Cross and other community OrganZa-
lions, publicSpirited citizens brought
the total contributed for Pueblo's re-
Mobilization to more than $325,000.
The terrible havoc wrought by the
flood waters Is a matter of record.
More than 1900 homes were affected
and 1851 persons were left homeless.
Estimates of $5OO,00O as an absolute
minimum for rehabilitation were made
by Red Cross officials In charge of tn.
relief work.

Fast Work in Wall Street

The Wall street explosion was nota-
BILE in that relief workers Of the Red
Cross were on the scene twenty min
utes after the disaster occurred. The
race riot at Tulsa also was unique in
disaster relief annals In that outside
of small emergency relief fund con-
tributed by the Red Cross, the only
relief measures outside the city con-
sisted of the service of social work
ers, nurses and a trained executive
whose object was to assist local forces
in directing their own efforts.
In decided contrast with the pre-
vious year, only one tornado assumed
the proportions of a major disaster.
This occurred on April Is, in the Dor
der sections Of Texas and Arkansas
with the city of Texarkana as the
center. The significant feature of this
disaster relief work was the fact that
1t covered so much rural territory as
relief workers.
The famine in China, necessitating
relief expenditures totalling more than
$1,000,000 by the American Red Cross
was by far the most serious Of the
foreign disasters in which the Red
Cross gave aid.
Builds Up Its Machinery
In connection with the administra-
tion of disaster relief measures, an in
creasing effectiveness on the part of
the Red Cross to deal with emergen-
cles was manifested during the past
year. In 1923 Chapters of the Ameri-
can Red Cross there have been formed
special committees to- survey the re.
sources of their respective communi-
ties and to be prepared in case Of
disaster. In others Of the 3,4o2 active
Chapters, a network of communication
has been formed through which instan.
taneous relief may be dispatched to
any part of the United States.
That its work in this field may be
continued with ever greater effective
ness, the American Red Cross is ap-
peallng for widespread renewal Of
membership during It's Annual Roll
Call, to be conducted this year from
November IL to "a.

PRoaREsslVES IN CONTROL.

The government Of the state Of Wis.
consin is once more controlled by the
forces Of progress. On Monday last
John J. Blaine took the oath Of office
as governor in the state capitol in Madi-
son, in the presence of distinguished
company, including United States Sen
ator Robert NJ. LaFollette.
Senator LaFollette had travelled all
the way from Washington to witness
the event, which represented one of the
greatest triumphs Of his remarkable po.
litical career.
More than a quarter Of a century
ago fBattle Bob" LaFollette began the
struggle to rescue Wisconsin from the
grasp Of the predatory interests. After
many reverses he was elected governor
and in few years placed Wisconsin
in the front rank Of progressive states.
Then he was sent to the United States
senate. He and his friends endeavored
to see to it that the right kind Of men
were kept in the governors office, but
they were not always successful. La.
Toilette could win office for himself but
sometimes tho forces Of reaction were
able to capture the governorship. This
has been especially true in recent
years.
In the last campaign Governor Blaine
entered the Republican primaries as the
LaFollette candidate. He had been a
member Of the state senate and attorney
general, and had made = magnificent
record in both positions. He carried
tho primaries by q handsome majority
and won out in November, although the
reactionary Republicans Joined forces
with the Democrats in an effort to de.
feat him.
Governor Blaine is young man Of
courage aud ability, and liberals predict
for him most successful career in the
governors Office. >,.:. b, u. s
