Mixed Dancing
Under Ban in
Portland, Ore.

Portland, Ore, April 24.-MiXed
dances in the city will be banned from
now on if the mayor and city council
can find any way to put stop to it.
Action by the authorities follow the
raiding of a dance hall conducted by
r. D. Stuart three weeks ago. White
and colored men and women were
dancing indiscriminately. The mayor
claimed that mixed dancing must stop
in the interest of common decency.
Stuart's lawyers defied the mayor,
declaring that there was no law on the
statute books which prohibited white
and colored people from dancing to-
gether if they were well behaved and
wanted to.

America Disgraced
By Lynching Habit
Methodist Bishops Declare It
Must Be Utterly Abolished,

Hot Springs, Ark, May 12.-(Spe-
cial. 1.-The official weight of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
numbering two and quarter million
members, was thrown into the balance
against lynching by the Quadrennial
Address of the College of Bishops to
the General Conference now in session
here. Having commented on the Ne
for education and on the remarkable
progress made by the race since it
emerged from slavery, the bishops con-
tinue:
1--WE urge our people everywhere to
do all they can for the uplifting of the
Negroes in preparation for a safe and
helpful citizenship. This implies that
they shall have complete justice where
their lawful rights are concerned We
especially urge that everything posi-
bic be done to prevent lynchings,
which are no less a disgrace to those
who engage in them than they are an
outrage upon the helpless victims. This
crime of crimes, which is not only
complete subversion of law but n
stroke at the very life of law itself, has
discredited our nation in the eyes of
other civilized nations and brought un-
dying Obloquy upon many of the states
of the Union. 1t is hoped that the
states will continue to legisate against
this shameful crime and that the pub
lie conscience will be speedily so
aroused that it will be utterly abol-
ished."

Must Remain i'm
Jail, Although
Millionaire

jefferson City, Mo-, May 5.-If you
were in Jail and had about $4,O00,000
that you couldn't spend, you'd get an
idea of just about what freedom might
be worth to you. Two or three of
those millions, perhaps.
That's the question d. II. Hays,
serving three years in the state prison
heref or forgery, has little time and
cause to think over. He has had let
ters from various persons urging him
to sign away oil leases on 160 acres of
oil land he owns in Mexico and tele-
grams from lawyers in Oklahoma City
telling him not to sign for less than
$4,0O0,000. Hays isn't signing and he
isn't talking. He's just saving wood.
With allowances for good behavior
in prison and everything going right
he may get out of Jail by September,
1923. and get chance to spend the
$4,000,000 that his lawyers say this
land is worth since oil has been dis
covered. Hays says he owns the land,
about quarter section of it, but that
is all he has to say.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 4.-If any
body sees James Manuel destitute and
friendless walking around the streets
tell him he is worth S2,OOO,OOO, even
though he doesn't know it.
When he left Tampico, Mexico,

1t is worth S2,25OD00, according to Il
letter received by Kope from Joe Es-
pino, a former friend of Manuel, who

that he may claim the fortune due
him.
Espfno has lost trace of his former

WHAT is THE CHRISTIAN
CHURCH COMING TO?

This question is often asked in these
days by keen observers of the signs of
the times, and judging from present
conditions, such questions may be jus-
titled, realizing the fact the church
militant has never claimed perfection,
has had and will always have her
Judases and false brethren reminding
US of the parable of the tares and the
wheat. But when we behold such far
removed conditions from the old hand
mark, that makes the parable of the
tares tame in comparison, it is time
to sound alarm.
1t is sad commentary on the
church when many of her officers are
men who have never made any claim
to Christianity, and who braZenly adj
init the same. Think of choir leaders
as well as many of their members die
tating as to what Christians shall
sing; trustees, deacons and other Of
ficers who have no personal knowl-
edge of Christ, overseeing the affairs
of the church; young men and wom-
en of the world teaching classes in the
Sabbath schools, b. Y. p. us and
Christian Endeavor and other organi-
cations for spiritual uplift.
To one who has grown to manhood
under the nurture of the Holy Writ
and believes in the pre-eminence of
Gods word, to see the influx of sin
penetrating the heart of the church, it
is time to show the danger signal, but
we invite the wrath of God by our
brazen defiance of His law. If that
he true of her officers what may we
expect on the part of the laity, who
today, with many, are picture OF
those disObedient Israelites who
served Baal and forgot Jehovah; and
ministers whose psychology is that
''crowds draw crowds" being success
full ofttimes in drawing crowds, when
instead of giving them the gospel mes
sage, they are pampered with some
pleasant entertainment or some eXclt-
ing lecture on some question of the
day, and some who would not attempt,
as did the Apostle Paul, to know moth
ing among their flock save Jesus and
Him crucified While we deprecate
said conditions, a word to the faithful
must be spoken. 1t is an individual
question for all protesting Christians
to make that road for themselves. His
kingdom will come, in spite of all the
forces of evil-only pray God that we
may cooperate with Him in helping to
bring it to pass.

SENATOR LODGE PRESENTS DYER
BILL PETITION TO The SENATE

i'You ask how American marines can
be so cruel? That is the story of i'm
perialism the world over and through
out all history. Do you think it is any
worse than some of the things done in
India and Siberian
Judging fronR the standpoint of
these people and the honor of the
American people, we ought to get out
of Haiti and out of every place where
we have no right"
Senator Borah's championing of the
cause of Haiti follows a two-year cam
paign waged by the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Colored
People. The initial expose of condi-
tions in Haiti was made by Herbert
J. Seligmar and by James Weldon
Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. c..
p, both of whom were in Haiti at the
same time.
Several military and naval commits
sions endeavOred to whitewash what
had been done. But the N. A. A. c. z.
continued the fight, helped Hatians
who came to the United States to pre-
sent their case to the American peo-
pie, and finally co-operated in the for
nation of the Haiti-Santo Domingo In
dependence Society under whose aus
pices Senator Borah spoke in Carne-
gle hall.

Senator BOrah
DenOunces Seizure
OF Island of Haiti

Senator William f. Borah of Idaho,
one of the most powerful Republicans
in the Senate, has taken up the
charges against the American occupa-
tion of Haiti, first pressed by the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People. In ringing
lecture delivered before an audience
of $500 people in Carnegie hall, New
York, on the night of May 1, Senator
Borah declared United States marines
had invaded the black republic and
held it in military subjection for five
years in the interest chiefly of New
York bankers.
Senator Borah told the story of the
invasion of Haiti, of the overthrow by
military force of the Haitian govern
ment and the setting up of a president,
D'Artiguenave, who would be subser-
Went to American military authorities.
~ am convinced we are in there to
stay unless American opinion brings
us out" said Senator Borah urging all
Americans to make their views heard.
unless public opinion is aroused, di-
rected and sustained, we will stay
there.
Don't forget that the soil of those
countries is the richest in the world
and labor is cheap and abundant-20
cents day is the wage. 1t has be-
come dangerous for an Independent
people to let it become known to the
world that they are in possession of
vast natural resources"

against United States marines, Sen

Prevalence of rabies IN all
parts of Kentucky has led the
State Board Of Health to issue q
new warding that all persons
bitten dy dogs promptly should
take measures to protect them.
selves. Twenty persons in local
tiles scattered all over the State
have applied to the board for
treatment for the disease in the
last thirty days.
The first step to be taken, ac-
cordlng to DIR. Lillian South, d.
rector Of the boards laboratories,
is to confine the animal that has
done the biting. She emphasiz.
ed the fact that it is not neces.
sary to Immediately kill the dog.
If he lives nine days it is certain
that he has not rabies, and no
further steps need be taken.
If he dies before the expiration
OF this period of confinement,
however, his head should be sent
to the laboratory of the State
Board for examination. There it
will be determined whether or
not be was afflicted with rabies.
In case the former is true the
person bitten should take the
serum treatment for the disease,
as when it develops In a human
being it invariably is fatal.
This serum treatment can be
obtained free of charge at the
State Boards laboratories, or 1T
may be obtained by persons out
in the State unable to come to
