MIR. DEBS' RELEASE,

The Communication of the sentence Of
Eugene V. Dcbs by President Warren.
G. Harding should win the approval
Of every right thinking citizen in this
country. Going to extremes in such
masters will not accomplish the pu:
pose. We do not subscribe TO the ton
cts Of Mr.. Dcbs and We do not belong
to his political party, but we do &C
cord to him the right to think and arl
for himself and those whom he repre-
sentS. He is sincere and he does not
belong to that class OF propagandiStS,
who have an itching palm and WHO
seek to oycrturn the government H.
benefited.
He represents advanced though,
along this particular line and no
should have been dealt with in far
different manner. Making martyrs of
leaders in their particular lime OF
thought has revolutioniZcd the world
Martin Luther stands out as u remark
able evidence OF this and Jesus Christ
is an ever present example and an
everlasting demonstration OF this
kind df martyrdom. When President
Harding looked far into the future
and released Dehs, he showed states

OOLORED FOLKS PROGRESS.

We have received the annual report
Of the Auditor Of Public Accounts and
in keeping with It's past excellence, 1t
will naturally attract the attention Of
the thoughtful. Tho value OF the real

ia Is ($52,505,961) Fifty-two million,
five hundred and five thousand, nine
hundred and fifty.one dollars. Tho val.
lie Of the realestate in the cities is
($i8,574,120) eighteen million, five
hundred and seventyfour thousand,
one hundred and twenty dollars.
The value of the personal property
Of the colored people Of Virginia is
($17,729,397) seventeen million, seven
hundred and twenty-nine thousand,
three hundred and ninety-seycn dollars
Of this ($3n791 ,O56) three million, sew
on hundred and ninety-one thousand,

the real estate and personal property
Of the colOred people OF this State IS

When it is considered that thi.,

HUNDREDS Of SERVICE
MEN ARE AT SHERMAN

CAMP SHERMAN. Chillicothe, O.,
Feb. LEU. P,)--War heroes back
in Camp Sherman today were engaged
in studying professions which will en-
able them TO SO out in the world with
in a years time and earn q living.
Paid at the rate of 500 4 month
and given free board and lodging, sew
eral hundred e%X-service men were stu
dents Of Uncle SAINTS first army voca-
tional university which fits men to
become plumbers, mechanics, %tailors,
shoemakers, %launderers, sign painters,
farmers and electricians.
The exservice men, DUBBED train
ees,' have taken to the vocational
school idea and though the program
for their education is rather meagre
at present, they are working hard.
The school at present is a ponderous
thing. Large camp buildings. being
used as schoolrooms are considerable
distance apart and it is a long walk
between classes. This difficulty, to-
gether with the fact that when the
school started instructors were forced
to go easy with the "train-ees," result
ing in what looked like inefficiency to
the outsider, has resulted strong con
demnation of the school.
But authorities in charge believe
that in six months the situation will
be entirely changed and that critics OF
today will thoroughly approve Of the
school.
Red tape in Washington in getting
appropriations, has interfered with
plans for the development OF the
school. Some "train-ees' who were
dissatisfied with the in which
efforts were made to get them to work
learning q profession also caused
criticism to be heaped on the school.
There are between two and three
hundred "train-ees'' here. All are dis
charged service men, but there is NO
military aspect to the school.
The first batch of students to arrive
we're mostly from cities. Some OF
them disliked the quiet life. Shortly
u batch of "train-ees' from agricul-
tural communities will he brought In
and with their arrival 1t is believed
the morale of the entire student body
will be strengthened.

POINTS WAY TO
HELP EX-SERV|CE Men

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 16.-(I. n. 81
When Lincoln's ex-service mems or
CARNATIONS put their stamp of approx
al on a jobless veteran the man thus
branded is due TO run to work-or
from it.
The Lincoln plan whereby jobs have
been found for a small army of UNI
employed Veterans of Foreign Wars is
drawing inquiries from American Le-
gion posts, welfare organizations,
civil associations and city officials
throughout the United States.
Originating with H. L. Carpenter
and other officers of Richard H. Har-
ris Post No. 131, Veterans of Foreign
Wars, the system has been approved
by the Lincoln ChaT.be of Commerce
Rotary Club, business organizations
and city fathers.
Plan Is Explained
/ As explained by Captain Carpenter,
the plan in brief is:
Each applicant found worthy and
well qualified is supplied with 8
blank form petition, which he car
ries to residents of a certain assign
ed district for signatures. The sig
nator.es pledge themselves to pay 81
a month each for night p~atrolling and
policing of the district in which the>
reside. The man thus obtaining suffi-
cient signatures is supplied with {
police badge, armed and put to work
as night patrolman in his prescribed
precinct. He is an authorized membe'
of the city police force, for whose ser
vices the City Treasury is not assessed
He reports to police headquarters b,
telephone each hour between s p. m
and 6 o'clock in the morning.
The city is divided into patrol zones
which interlap, the patrolman of on'
zone c%ncountering his fellow Officers
of two neighhoring zones at regular
intervals of half an hour.
Fires Are Fewer
Lincoln has not recorded a seriou!
fire in the residential districts since
the soldier patrol system got urde
way. Burglaries and AUTOMOBILE
thefts also have been reduced to
minimum. liquor manufacture is vir'
tually nil. In fact, the home section
