Boston, Dec 30 The market is us
ually quiet around the holiday season
and the past week has been no eXcep-

few gains in price more than offset by
number of sharp drops. Poultry
opened firm, but buyers held off and
took only what they had actual orders
for. so the market had to go lower to
clear the amount of goods on hand
Turkeys dipped from 55-5Sc down to
45-52c, many preierring to chance
placing their good birds in cold storage
for next summer rather than accept
less than 48c, and the market steadied
at this price and appears irmer. All
kinds of poultry dropped in sympathy

FREEDOM.

Freedom is mans ability to do as
he blamed pleases
1t is the choicest gift of civiliz,
alton and is the most highly valued
next to tho ability to make some
other man 10 what you blamed
please
From tho beginning of history,
men have fought for freedom at
every opportunity. Nothing has made
brave men to buckle on their swords
and wade through rivers Of gore so
chserfully as the belief that some.
one was holding out on them IN the
liberty line. America became free
country almost $50 years ago and
yet today the fight for freedom goes
on more iercely than ever. Scarcely
an election occurs in this country in
which some patriot does not arise to
plead with the people to strike OH
their shackles and vote as one man
for freedom as represented by the
right to drink beer all night or to
organize holding company with
grabbing attachments.
This sad condition does not exist
because of any lack Of desire to
souse this land in the purest brand
OF freedom, but because 1t is so
difficult to determine who shall par.
take thereof. It Is very easy to Sc
cure perfect freedom for one man but
IN order to do this he must be en-
abled to interfere with the freedom
Of several thousand others. If he
does as he pleases he is bound to in.

has perfect right to do as he pleas.
es. Nothing is more annoying than
to be struck in vital spot by some
unfettered son of freedom who is
driving ar automobile down the
wrong side Of the street at mile-a-
minute gait in full pursuance of his
sacred privileges.
Man had perfect freedom before
government was invented hut it
proved to be very unhealthy, owing

COLORED TROOPS GIVEN RAW

London, Jan. 1s.-Under the caption
THE Savage South" The Pail Mall
Gazette publishes a review OF the
slaves. Apparently the reviewer has
been led by the tone of the volume
into thinking that large proportion
Of the United States lives by and for
the lynching of Colored people. Here,

take one, Mr.. Graham suggests, for
those OF her own States In which the
name Of civilization is darkened by
atrocities far more horrible than those
charged to the account CT Turks or
Kurds. Mr.. Graham does not ex-
aggerate when he, says that such a
scene has put those white denizens of
Georgia on lower level than canni-
balls"
France the Negro did not get square

OF being entrained for Cherbourg when

attached to the French army, where
some of them gained brilliant distinc-
tlon.
The. colored problem is one that
presents riddles for the British EN-
pire as well as for America, and the
Increasing race consciousness of the
the Negro throughout the world makes
Injustice under. one flag react on
others. That Is one. of the reasons
which make the conduct of a debased
white population in the Southern
States Of America a matter of very
real concern for powers like ourselves
and France which likewise possess
Negro subjects"
While this "tu quoque" method of
argument Is scarcely strictly logical
there is doubt that It will carry to
many. minds a powerful appeal and
/ will help foster an impression which
is not helped by the fun publicity giv-
