Science and Theory.

Theorists may disagree, but not
scientists. Science means knowledge
and men are~scientists only to the ex-
tent of their absolute knowledge. The
true scientist will never ask that you
accept his opinion; he only asks that
you accept his ;facts.-Dr. Cyril G.
Hopkins.

Hospitality.

Hospitality MUST be for service and
not for show, or It pulls down the
host. The brave soul rates itself too
high to value itself by the splendor OF
its table and draperies. It gives what
It hath, and all It hath, but its own
majesty can lend a better grace to oat
cakes and fair water than belong to
city feast.-Ralph Waldo Emerson.

American Indians Origin Unknown

No definite solution has been found
in regard to the origin OF the Amerl-
can Indian. Anatomically, the Indian
bears a striking resemblance to the
MOngOlinn Therefore 1t Is reasonable
to believe that his ancestors originally
crossed from Asia to North America.
The period Of this migration cannot he
calculated accurately. 1t is believed,
however, that man has existed in
America mt least $4,000 years and not
more than 100000 years.

Find Old Church Ruins
Under Rheims Cathedral

N Paris.-The work Of repairing
the ruined Cathedral Of Rheims

remains Of ancient churches
which formerly stood on the
same site. Under the pavement
of the choir, which was shat
tered by German shells, have
been found the old foundations
Of the Cathedral Of st. Hincmar
which was destroyed by fire in
the Ninth century. Beneath these

JUSTICE SWIFT
IN new JERSEY
Trials Of Bandits and Major
Criminals Rushed on the Day
of Arrest.
IS FOUNDED ON CALvAMsM
Wheels Of Court Move Quickly
Famed Not Only for Accuracy and
.a.. Rslsntlsssnsss, but for Fair
g8 ness and Efficiency.

Trenton, N sJ.-Interesting light has
/ been thrown on the operation and
speed "of Jersey Justice" as result
other crimes While misdemeanors
and felonies have increased In New
Jersey, as elsewhere in the country In
the last year or so, state records show
that there have been few disagree
ments Of juries, and prison sentences
have been extended to maximum linn
it's in order to discourage violations OF
the law.
One feature Of New Jersey law that
few, if any, Of the other states have.
and which is said to have been q
prime factor in giving the state It's ira
ditional reputation for lightninglike
court procedure, is provision that q
jury in first degree murder trial may
designate life Imprisonment instead OF
the deaths penalty for the convicted
person. This has resulted In many
quick convictions for life imprison-
ment where, otherwise, there might
have been Jury disagreements.
Quick Bandit Trials.
Cases like that of the Union county
bandits, Charles and John Krebs and
Martin Shannon, who were sentenced
to serve from Sc to Is years each, and
who were tried, convicted and were
beginning to serve their sentences
within 14S hours of their capture, are
occurring daily in New Jersey, the
present so-called "crime wave" appar-
emily furnishing an excellent test for
the efficiency Of its courts.
Jersey justice" famed from Maine
to Florida, from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, and even overseas, not only be-
cause Of it's speed, it's accuracy and its
relentlessness, but also because Of it's
fairness and efficiency, was not estab-
lished overnight. 1t is scarcely tan
gible thing, It may be best described
as "a state Of mind" the, people de-
manding that their law officers be effi-
cient above everything else. Thus
prosecutors, grand juries, judges, petit
juries and all other branches of the ad-
ministration Of justice, which lead the
criminal to prison and the murderer to
the death chair, are just so many
wheels and gears and belts In an al
most perfectly working machine"
whose motive power IS the people.
Tradition has had much to do with
making Jersey justice" Beginning
with the early days Of the settlement
of the state, when many crimes were
punishable by death, the Calvinists
brought into east Jersey distinctive
views Of religious and civil matters
which probably were the roots Of ''Jer-
sey justice. y, " 2s
New Jersey differs in no great re-
spect from other states as to the. gem
eral legal procedure for the punish
ment of crime. Lynchings and crime
against accused persons, however, are
rare. Officers of the law. from the
highest judges down, are well paid, and
every effort Is made to keep politics
out Of the courts. At present there
are more than three-score life pris-
oners in the state prison here and
eight out Of every ten convicts are in
for long terms.

MCCORMACK CONTINUES
HIS ANTI-LYNCHING Fight f

Chicago, June Ex-senator Medill Nc
Cormick spoke at massmeeting OF
$500 Negroes recently, at the Trinity
church, Prairie avenue and Thlrtieth
street, on the anti-lynching bill which
the senator introduced in Congress.
"This bill seeks to create a commits
mission to explore and study the ways
and means by which mob violence can
be ended,' Senator Mccormick said.
"a printers proof first stirred me,
when I was merely boy, to the real
ization that there was great wrong
in this country which needed righting.
The thought has been with me all these
years, but the opportunity for me to
start definite action on the matter has
never come until the present time.
'sI expect long fight, but I am go
ing to see it through if it takes me ten
wears or more. I find the election OF
President Harding proved an unlocked
for help, as he is strongly opposed to
lvnchings. The black man is on trial
now in Illinois. The attempt. to force
on him handpicked judges in the pres
ent election, furnishes him with an op-
portunity to assert his political rights
by voting coalition non-partisan ticket.
And the election of the coalition ticket
iudges will be message to the men IN
the south that fight is being waged
for the black mans freedom IN the
north.' r

NEGRO WOMEN JURORS
FEARED GREATLY

(By The Associated Negro Press.)
Frankfort, KY, June 9.-The right
of women to serve on a jury in Ken
lucky, will be determined when the
appellate court decides the case of Con
rad Wages against the commonwealth,
filed here on appeal of the Laurel cir
cult court. Two women served on the
jury that convicted Wages when he
pleaded guilty to the charge of having
made moonshine.
Public opinion appears to be divided
on the question, many fearing colored
women will insist on doing share Of
the jury duty in case the court decides
the question against Wages.
