LTBERIA--AND A NEGRO
STATE.

January Z, 1922 will complete the
first century of the experiment OF
a Negro state in Africa The first
settlers sent over to the West Coast
of Africa by the American Colonial
ton Society, acting under the pro-
lection and auspices of the United
States Government, occupied lands
since constituted into what is known
as "the Republic of Liberia"
1t can hardly be said that the
experiment has proved a brilliant
or even plain economic or race
success in the effort to civilize and
elevate the blacks. But the human
mind runs about in circles and cycles,
and, as the first hundred years are
about to close, the Liberians them
selves, together with their black
and Colored brethren throughout the
world, and the whites who have
tried to promote that enterprise, are
taking stock of this investment in
humanity
Also, the drawing to close of this
first century promised, at one time
to be signalized by a great Negro
movement toward the establishment
of a black empire of United
States of Africa"
So the approaching celebration at
Monrovia and elsewhere of the CEN
tennial of this Negro Republic, de-
spite the apparent collapse of the
imperialistic adventure of a certain
group of American and West Indian
Negroes, and the very modest prog
ress of the blacks have made in free
Liberia itself, is an event of suffi-
cient interest to the world to chal-
lenge universal attention.
While Liberians are about to cell
citrate a full century of existence as
a free people, as matter of history
the real independence of the country
was not formally and courageously
declared until July 26, 1847. It
is more than doubtful If Liberia
can be considered entirely independ-
ent even today. AS late as 1882 the
English cowed the black republic
by feet of warships into ceding a
large strip of its lands. France fol-
lowed this noble example of neigh
borliness by exacting similar con-
cessions adjoining her African ter
ritory; and even the United States,
in 1912 and again 1918, sought to
impose upon the young black repub-
dc in return for proposed loans of
some 100000 and $5,000,000, terms
that might have transformed the
black state into another Haiti-if

liberties and the lives of its people

Liberia, it will be evident to even
the most cursory reading of its short
and simple annals, has been the
prey of her two neighbors, England
and France, and menaced even by
it's protector, the United States. So
much on the side of civilization and
neighborly love and helpfulness.
On the side of savagery, she has
Jared only a little better. 1t is true
that her colonists have shown some
reversal to type, and strolled over
the borders into still darker spots
of Africa Some, II is said. have
reverted to full savagery, at least
to the full state of uncivilization that
prevails among the tribes of the
hinterland. But the Republic has not
been greatly mperilled from the
bush. If not interferred with by
civilized peoples, ii is probable that
it will more than hold its own as
against the competition and lure of
the foremost tribes, and some day
develop into a great influence for
the rescue of the Dark Continent
from its preimeval night.
We have before us an admirable
book on Liberia-that is. it is adj
mirable in nearly all respects. 1t
is entitled "The Republic of Liberia"
and is written by R. G. F. Vaughan,
a Fellow of the Royal Geographic
Society, and for some years British

Mr. Maungham writes fully and in
terestingly of every phase of Liberian
life and of the conditions throughout
the country. He reveals it as not
intolerable by reason of its heat
and torrential storms, and as entire

that the employment of the immense
numbers of natives at present lead

THE LAW AND THE MOB.

Sheriff Dan Harston Dallas County again demonstrate
ed his readiness to place the of the law above the
nands of the mob
On last Friday morning he calmly said mob bent on
ynchng prisoner held in his jail that there nothing do
ing" And there wasn't.
Sheriff Harston in this only did the duty to which
he obligated by his oath of office But the frequency with
which others smar placed have dsregarded both their oath
and duty by pandeng to the mob spirit makes his action worthy
of special concentration
And commencing his action it be forgotten that
his fearless stand for due of law this other
caso has been made possible by the opinion Of the Dallas Co
ty public generally.
Dallas Cuony seems to have brought realize that
mob spirit only increases instead of decreasing the crimnay
of group by rendering all persons equal in crime with the
law breaker whose life snuffed out by the mob in their midst
The prisoner thus protected enemy to socety9ud if
facts made public deserves to the full penalty
cibed by the society of which ne member for the crime
hich he committed re cannot his punishment for in
such his the Law has been known to fail
The action of Sheriff Hrstcn guaranteed to the State and
its people satisfaction of their demands without disgrace any
of their communities.
His action commended as is the spirit of the people
whose laws ne uphods Such spirit well spread to other
parts of oyr state
The law should be supreme.

Big Attractions
 At Pleasure Beach This Week

Confetti. serpentine crepe. raokets, spIendid orchestra and a good crowd were the attractions last evening at the first of the "Mardi Gras'' cele- pTat.ons when are being held at the night this week until and including Sunday.
 Added to the fun of last night will be the chariot and horse races this evening. There will also be the in tensely interesting stage coach race and hold-up: Anyone who has wit messed one of the Thursday night cele- brattons knows Of what amusement they are and the people who have not visited the pavilion on racing night may be sure that they are missing a big attraction that is not nonsensical but which is as clever as it is funny.
 Manager Doe" Ownes is working out some original plans for the meth cd of bidding goodbye to the dance hall for this season. Although he will not divulge the nature of the program he has planned for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, patrons of the pavilion know of "Doc's' past ability in pleas ing the public which visits his palace of dancing and are waiting eagerly:

UNEMPLOYED
 IN UGLY SPIRIT

London, Sept Demonstration by the unemployed were held in many places throughout England yesterday and in several cities serious disorders were narrowly averted. An ugly spirit was in evidence at Bristol where a crowd atacked a building occupied by tho board of Guardians, and clashed with the police. In the ensuing struggle banners were broken and a red flag was captured by the police. Finally, the gates before the body of constables charged upon the crowd, which was dispersed, but the windows in a hundred shops were smashed by the manifestants.
 Exciting scenes also were witness ed in Liverpool. After an encounter with the police, unemployed workers presented to the council a io-mfnute u1timatum threatening that at the expiration of that time they would not be responsible for the conse- quences. The lord mayor s,1bse- quentIy appeared and assured the leaders in the demonstration that a plan would be formulated for finding work.
 One of the most notable demon- strations occurred in Wales. where mountains from Abertf1lery to Fred egar, a distance of f2 miles. A similar manifestation in Sunderland cu1Ini- mated in an attempt to force the gates of the workhouse Failing in this, members of the crowd entered the guardians building and 1t was neces- sary for the police to eject them.

New York, Sept. s-Adsuki. or Or iental beans and vitamines., as they in for a share of discussion today at the various sessions of the American Chemical Society at Columbia Univers- ity 1y new in the United States, was de- ciared to be superior in protein value to the old fashioned navy bean or it's big brother, lima The subject was taken up in 8 paper prepared by and c. P. J. Gersdorff. of the United States Department of Agriculture Washington. The paper declared that the bean lacked, however a suf- fciency of the important sulphur bearing acid, crysine and should be served with foods such as eggs,
 milk and meat. The article of food. which does not require cooking. was originally grown only in Manchuria, it is used for making soups. gruels confectinns, cakes, as a four for shampoos and a base for facial cream
 vitamines were discussed in two papers, one by Prof. J. s. Hughes of the Kansas State Agricultural College of Manhattan, Kansas, declaring that calves nursed by COWS that were fed on food containing a small percentage of vitamines were likely to go blind. He described experiments carried on at the agricultural college to prove his point and declared they showed that while COWS that ate few vitam- ines might produce a fairly abundant supply of milk, the quality was so poor that 1t was not adequate for their young.
 MT. Hughes. in another paper. de- c1ared vttamines in hens food had a great effect upon the quality or chickens matched from their eggs Lo percentage of vitamines means a low percentage of strong healthy chick ems, he declared, while experiments proved that the hen fed with food containing a plentiful supply ef the invisible food factors usually became the mother of husky chicks.
 Don't count your chickens before they are hatched,' he advised. for he said statistics showed that about half of the 6o0,o0O,oo0 eggs set in the United States each year actually matched. This he said, meant loss of $12,000,000 and could be largely eliminated If more vftamines went into the grown hens food
