"Colored and white people through
out the United States are urged to
obtain all possible information about
the vaudeville artists who parade at
night draped in bedsheets and pillow
cases This information If sent to the
office of the National Advancement
Association will be duly sent out to

know what kind of patriots meet in
secret to devise plans for violating
the United States Constitution and
the federal criminal code.

JEALOUS WIFE IN RAGE SMAsHES

Rolling Pin and Bed Stat Used on

Mrs. Rosa WHbeI thought she de-

Miss Cugyek is employed in the
Stock Yards as a stenographer. Wribel
is also employed there. Each morning
the two went to work together and
each evening returned in the same

Mrs Wribel discovered that they
also ate together and demonstrated with
her husband. He merely laughed and
told her that it was none of her bust

Hot Reception on Cold Evening.
Tuesday night Wnbel and Miss Cug-

around each other. They explained
that the embrace was just a protection
against the cold, but Mrs Wribel was

She armed herself with a rolling pin

The teamster who hauled the ma

would likewise come under this act
as would every other worker whose
labor was part of the machine.
The act, in short, would reach any
one employed on commodities ship

commodities were manufactured.
The act is the most far-reaching
ever passed by an American law
making body and would enslave the
wage earners of this country.
With fine irony, the last section OF
the bill provides: That nothing in
this act shall be taken TO deny to any
individual the right to quit his EN-.
ployment for any reason"
But if that individual does any
thing with intent to obstruct, de-
lay, hinder or prevent the movement
of interstate or foreign commerce,
he is liable to heavy fine and impris.

IT'S CRUEL.
Sending Children to Bed for Punish
ment.

Some parents have the habit of pun
ishing their children for wrong doing
by requiring them TO 90 to bed during
the daytime. There is danger in such
punishment Children who lie in bed
unoeeupied are likely to develop bad
habits. A child should not lie in bed
at any time while he is awake unless
he is kept busy in some wholesome
way. When he is sent to bed for pun
ishment the chances are that he will
not be occupied and the consequences
are apt to be harmful.
So the parents encourage their chill
dren to remain in bed and rest after
they awaken in the morning. 1t would
be better for them to arise at once.
If they really need more rest than they
can get from a nights sleep, they
should form the habit of taking nap
at a regular time when they are tired
and sleepy.
Parents who discover that their chill
dren have already acquired bad habits
from lying in bed unoceupied should
explain in a frank but kind way the
dangers arising therefrOm; such par
ents should follow this explanation
with redoubled efforts to keep the at
tention Of their little ones filed con-
stantly with wholesome thoughts and
occupations.
Evil habits are probably acquired
more largely through the practice of
lying in bed awake OF being sent to
bed for punishment than from any
other eause.-Prof. NJ. V. O'Shea,

N. A. A. c. P. FIGHTS KU KLUX
KHAN.
Federal Investigation Demanded, AL
so Denial of Mailing Privileges.
Police and Justice Depart
ments Informed

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, 20
Fifth Avenue, New York, has issued
a statement announcing the steps
which has been taken in the fight
against the Ku Klux Khan. James
Weldon Johnson, secretary of the Ad-
vancement Association, signed the
statement which is as follows:
"Colored People throughout the
united States as we'll as white Amer
leans are urged to join with the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People in fighting
the ridiculous and sinister mumery
which the Ku Klux Khan is trying to
make people believe represents Am
ericanism. Colored people have rea-
son to know that the Ku K1ux Klan
represents terrorism and oppression,
that it is organized to maintain So
called white supremacy which means
depriving colored people of their con-
stitutionaI rights by violence.
TO date the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie has taken the following steps in
its war on the Ku Klux Khan.
l. The Postmaster General of the
United States has been written to
asking him to refuse the privileges
of the United States mails to the Khan
for soliciting members.
2 Information having been OBJ
tanned that the Khan intends to organ
ize branch in New York City, let
tiers were written to the United States
attorney for the district of New York,
also the New York district attorney,
the Police Commissioner, and the
Mayor of New York and the Cover
nor of New York State. Assurances
have been received that no branch of
the organization will be tolerated in
New York and in a published state
ment assistant district attorney Al
fred J. Talley scored the Khan as
narrow chested bigots.'

BILL TO ESTABLISH SERFDoM
IS APPROVED BY U S.

Washington, D. rC.-The Poindex-
ter railroad anti-strike bill slipped
through the United States Senate as
quietly as a motion to indorse the
appointment of a crossroads post
master.
The bill was on the regular calen-
dar and one objection by senator
would block it. The absence of a
quorum is never raised or routine
matters and senators are thus permit
ted to engage in committee hearings.
Several routine bills were being
considered while handful of SEN
ators were present.
The clerk read the Poindexter bill
as favored by the committee. This
proposal involving the liberty OF mil
lions of citizens was not discussed for
an instant. No objection was raised
no vote was taken and the chair an
nounced its adoption.
Almost Immediately after its pas
sage Senator LaFollette appeared in
the chamber and gave notice of re-
consideration of the vote. This pro-
cedure holds the bill in the senate
until finally disposed of.
The bill is referred to as a rail-
road anti-strike bill, but it applies
to everything that enters interstate
and foreign commerce and sets aside
the foundation of the LoFollette sea-
mems law, which permits seamen to
quit their employment when their
vessel is safely locked.
Under this bill if a Hindoo crew
shipped in India on a British vessel
for $40 month, arrived at an Ameri-
can port and were told of their rights
under the LaFollette seamen's act,
and they quit to enforce the going
rate of wages" at that port, the party
that told them would be guilty Of
interfering with foreign commerce and
liable to IS years imprisonment and
$4,000 fine.
Railroad employees are not only pre-
vented from striking but the act ap-
plies with equal rigor to anyone who
seeks to prevent any person from
engaging In employment or from con-
timing in employment in any eapa-
city in the production, care, main
tenance or operation of any means
or agency of such commerce."

PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE
TO UNCLE JOE"
Illinois Veteran Breaks Record for
Length Of Service.

Washington-An unusual tribute was
paid today by the House of Represen-
tatives to Representative Joseph G..
Cannon of Illinois, who has established
a new record for length of service in
Congress. "Unele Joe" was all smiles
as Champ Clark of Missouri, the Demo
cratic leader, and Others told of his
accomplishments during his long ser
vice.
When it came his time to talk, Mr.
Cannon described the ceremony as
wake, and said he was beginning to
wonder if he was not already realizing
the hopes of those who desire to return
from the other world to communicate
with friends still participating in the
ordinary affairs of the earth.
What Happened in 1872.
Many big things happened in 1872,
the year he was first elected to con-
gress, not the least of which was viO-
lent eruption of Vesuvius, he said.
"Speaker Gillctt and Mr.. Clark were
the polls that year" he
said, "and Jim Mann, at l6, was try
ing to decide whether he would be a
farmer or a lawyer. Rainey and Mon
dell were beginning to figure life in
and the ambitions of
Claude Kitehin and Nick LOngwor:h at
the age of 3 were eentered about their
first pants"
Had Two Vacations.
Admitting that he had been in con
gress Off and on longer than other
members, Mr.. Cannon declared he was
not the veteran in continuous service.
"Gillett, Clark, Mann, Butler, Green
Of Massachusetts, Moon and Sims rank
with me in that line" he added, "be-
cause had two vacations which | did
not seek, and those four years were
the longest years that have interviewed |
since / first came to Washington.

Morse would present himself to the
court whenever wanted.
The warrant served upon Mr.. Morse
charged conspiracy and embezZlement
in collection with an alleged false claim.
The warrant alleges that the conspiracy
began July 16, 1919.
Mr.. Morse later in a public statement
made complete disclaimer of assertions
by Government representatives and
characterized the charges as being neb-
ulous in charcter. Mr.. Morse's state
ment said:
1T have read az carefully as tho time
has permitted the charges formulated In
the complaint, and will say in regard to
them:
They are so nebulous and false and
lack and definite statements Il is impos-
sible for me to deny them specifically.
but I have no hesitancy in saying that
in so far as I have any knowledge there
were no false statements made, neither
were there any false vouchers presented
to the Fleet Corporation by the Virginia
Shipbuilding Company.
Further. the only definite charge
made was on the 18th day of July, 1919,
u statement made to the full Shipping
Board. Emergency Fleet Corporation by
the Virginia Corporation through it's
officers, Mr.. C. H. Livingstone. its pres
ident; Mr.. Martin, its treasurer; Mr..
Christy, its auditor. and its counsel.
Messrs. Gibboney, Scott & Gordon, at
which my son. E. A. Morse. and myself
were present, which statement I have
no hestancy in saying was undoubtedly
true"
It is not probable that Mr.. Morse will
be asked to return to Washington for
several weeks. In all likelihood ne will
spend Christmas with his family in New
York and not be disturbed by a court

While the women of this mob were

being repulsed in a smaller attack at
two mines of the Sheridan Coal Com
pany at Mulberry.
Sentiment is rapidly crystallizing that
the only solution of the new situation
is the presence OF troops with plenty

Certain circles in Vienna also are TAX
