PUTTING ON THE BRAKES.

They are putting on the brakes down
in Washington,
They have found some ugly traits
among the Rays.
So the Rays are brought to answer
down in Washington;
They have got to tell the powers
about their ways.
OF course they'll tell some fancy
fabrications,
They are eloquent, and the story
they will tell;
They will leave out tar and feather
demonstrations,
They will try to. get excused from
raising hell
Down in Georgia law and order is a
feature
OF the rakes who boast of having
a white skin,
For the black man there's no rights,
he's a creature
OF conditions. and with white ju-
ries cannot win.
Maybe Uncle Sam will have a
stronger reason,
Since the Catholic and the Jew are
'mong the white;
To build a case, and try the kays for
treason,
He never seemed concerned in Ne
gro rights.
We always thought the crackers
would go too far,
We knew they had some wheels
that wouldn't work,
That their boast of giving justice at
the legal bar
Was never dealth to Negroes but
with jerk.
And now they've got the Rays be-
fore the powers,
We have longed to see the gov
eminent intercede.
And now the Rays are having anx-
ious hours
Explaining all the evils of their
creed.
The ways of the trsnsgressor brings
attention
To the nation bent upon the squar-
est deal
To the people who ask for its inter-
vention,
And to saturate with grace the ma
tons veal

VACCINATION AGAINS

The following data from authr

As is we'll known, the soldie

cinated against both typhoid

phoid with q deaths. In the

with 1873 deaths.
These figures mean in our

was one case Of typhoid to 1856
while in the Spanish-American
there was one case for every
men. In fact it has frequently
stated that typhoid killed MOI
our soldiers in that war than
destroyed by all other causes.
during the world war it Is of
est to note that for the first
in history the typhoid rate was
in the army than it was in the
ian population.
But this is not all. Here are
figures showing the

all of these There is the living
death. Every day we see hundreds
of people dead to ambition, dead to
truth, dead to character. and dead to
anything like life OF goodness, use
fulness, service, brotherhood. How
can they stand this living death? We
would like to excuse them by say
ing they are ignorant; we would like
to say that they have failed to seize
on the opportunities that offered
them life. Maybe that is it. They
were recreant to their own best in
terests, and so they try to escape
the hell of this living death by NUT
terings and prayer incantations, pre-
fences of piety and camouAage
Education offers life. SGetting the
intellect trained to think soberly on
all of the worthwhile principles OF
life, getting the mind acute to act
with grace and precision, getting the
nerves trained to weather the storms
and conflicts of life. to love the real
beautiful, and to feel the head throb |
and tender impulses Of our noblest |
human nature; this is life. Life in
love, in beauty, in wisdom, in truth |
and all that wealth could ever give.
Learning is our reward; courage
comes with character counter-bal-
anced with a decent regard for the
preachments of nobility. To be great
one must be learned. To be good
one must be righteous. Life offers
more than our frail imagination may
conjure. Death offers nothing wor-
thy of human imaginings.
Duty done is often mistaken for
happiness. Courage to lay down
one's life is the way to eternal life.
The spirit of sacrifice is hand maiden
