TITLES TRoTTER STATE
MENT ON DYER BILL

James Weldon Johnson, Secretary o.
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, 70
Fifth Avenue, New York, today is
sued the following statement:
at is to be regretted that organiza-
tons having common aims cannot
work together without attempts on
the part of one to belittle the work
of another.
The n. A. A. c. P. regrets to have
to call the attention of colored read
ers to the false implication in VIII
liam Monroe Trotter's statement, sent
out broadcast from Washington, to
the effect that delay in favorable &C
ton on the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill
was in any way attributable to the
N. A. a. c. P. or its lawyers. Ii
makes no difference that the imputa-
ton is put into the mouth of Senator
Borah, who himself had requested
these briefs and stressed their i'm
portance.
1T is needless to point out that
briefs by eminent lawyers on the con-
stitutiOnality of the Dyer bill, which
the n. A. A. C. P. obtained were and
still are, essential to any favorable
consideration whatever for the meas
ure on the part of the Judiciary Com
naittee and the Senate. The truth of
this is demonstrated by the recent
events in the progress of the bill.

DIET AND RACE"
By F. p. Amitags

Published by Messrs. Longmans,
Green & Co., New York. Price SIPS.
Postage Toe extra.
Mr.. Armitage is the author of three
books on chemistry and it is from
this angle that he studies Diet-Race.
The major part of the book is given
over to the subject, Diet and Color.
The writer Classics the people of the
earth by their color, White, Yellow,
Red or Brown and Black, and then
analyses their diet. He finds that
flesh eating people, and especially
those who eat raw flesh are generally
light in color and he asks, if there is
not something present in raw flesh
that is not present in boiled meat,
that is present in less degrees in vege-
tables, and is markedly wanting in
farinaceous food. He finds the some
thing salt.
Salt, that is what makes blondes
and its absence makes brunetteS.
Through a hundred convincing pages
the author piles up statistics upon his
theme. Salt is present in greater
quantities in flesh than in vegetables,
hence the flesh eating people are
fairer than the vegetarians. But an
other element enters there. When
salt Sodium chloride) and potash are
present together in a food, as in the
case with many vegetables, the pot
ash takes up the chloride and the salt
is then expelled from the body
through the kidneys. So not only do
vegetables have less salt than meat,
but the body does not retain the little
salt that they have. Boiled meats
lose their salt through the cooking,
so the Tahitians, who eat raw fish,
are lighter than the Adananese who
exact heavy penalties from those who
roast, instead of boil their pigs. To
live on farinaceous food, on roots and
fruits, is to have dark eyes and a dark
skin.
But the chief argument lies in the
relation between. the distribution of
skin fermentation and the distribu-
ton of salt deposits. THE peoples
of the world, in respect OF their salt
supply, are separable in two groups:
Those inhabiting Europe, the West of
Afghanistan, Persia, Syria,
and the North OF Africa, and the rest;
a separation which is almost identical,
geographically, with that suggested

MAKING ONES SELF
t AGREEABLE


The great curse of the race is the
human misft, the undesirable
thoughtless individual who has no
hope in life, no spirit to be some
body, doubly concerted, wise in the
low by-ways OF ugly living, crude al
ways and never satisfied with any
thing, wishing always for what is for
hidden, and cruel even to himself that
he deserves no more. This is one OF
the ways we. are forced to describe
some OF the ignorant low brows that
think only of themselves, and are on
bad terms with all of the world.
The chief aim of life when all is
said and done is making ourselves
agreeable. Striving to be useful, and
fitting into situations that make hu-
nianity noble and good. Acquiring
knowledge leads to the self same end.
Making ones self beautiful, cultivat-
ing sweet disposition, being kind to
Others, making lie pleasant for those
who are dependent on you, teaching,
beading, hafmonizirg, showing the
way, serting good examples, lead in
the pure liie and living after the prin-
ciples OF right and truth, all make |
life sweet even if we are poor as to |
possession of this worlds goods.
If one is living for amusement's |
sake, and has no decent regard for
the serious side of life, he is some
kind of fool that inspires our sym
pathy, and makes US look upon him
from our lofty heights with a con-
temptableness that must almost ex-
haust human pity.
The praise of men is worth all it
costs to be agreeable. To stand out
as an example of all of those excel /
lent qualities of heart and mind, rich
IN the splendor of truth and honor is
and makes such characters
among us respected and beloved by
the multitude. To noble ends the
purposeful individuals among US give
the best that can exalt nation.
Poor indeed is he whose heart can
not respond to pleasant situations of
noble living. and right acting, pure
thinking. He may be as rich as
Croesus, as learned as Caesar, and as
powerful as was Napoleon when in
the lofty authority as the ruler of the
world, yet if there is no fertility of I
human spirit that can harmonic with
the sober graces Of the universe, he
IS a man without country, a home,
OF any thing else worth while.

CURES FOR SOCIAL Ills

In his address to the State Press
association at Pullman, President
Holland of the State College under

desirable features of the American
democracy, and to suggest remedies.
Summed up Or Hollands program
for Improvement includes criminal
law procedure immigration restric-
ton and democracy in education
In deploring the low value set on
human life in the United States. the
State College president approaches
the familiar and as vet unsolved
problem OF law enforcement with its
handicaps OF legal technicalities and
delays of court procedure That
murderer is less likely to be caught
and punished here than in England
or Europe is a fact that has been
impressed upon US for a long time;
and that this has a direct bearing on
the high homicide rate in the United
States is a reasonable conclusion
1t is not so certain that the growth
OF the lawless element in the United
States is an outgrowth of unrestrict-
ed immigration. In some of the
large cities it undoubtedly is, but
murder and lynching are prevalent
in rural communities as well Still,
strong case can be made for the
Manipulating of immigrants, and for
an intelligent policy that will edu-
cate them after they are admitted,
and not exploit them as cheap labor
Some day perhaps. the country
will have overcome some of the bad
tendencies to which DR.. Holland re-
fers, The courts can not do it all;
neither can the immigration authori-
ties nor the schools, but an awakened
public conscience, if there is such
thing, can make considerable head
way.-Spokesman-Review.

speaks volumes for the good work

youth of the land The Boy Scout
movement is young in years but it
has lived long enough to justify its
value to the community which en-

The time has come when we must
educate for service, and this new
movement carries that idea as one of
its cardinal principles. Inculcate the
spirit of service, of helpfulness and

THE STUFF MEN ARE MADE or

The New York Christian Advocate
presents this interesting item show
ing the stuff real men are made of:
Roger Babson, whose business or
gauization has produced several UNI
usual pieces of information concern
ing American commerce and indus
try and who has subjected the great
corporations of the business world
today to searching analysis from
several novel points Of view, has re-
Gently given the public this fact to
contemplate. He took one hundred
executives responsible for the ad-
ministration of these great enter
prises and set up an inquiry as to
the human stuff that they were
made of, beginning with the influ-
ences which surrounded their boy
hood. And he publishes this as the
result: Sons OF bankers, ) per cent;
sons of manufacturers and mer-
chants 20 per cent; sons of farmers
aud laborers, 20 per cent; sons of
teachers, physicians and lawyers, 90
per cent, sons of poor country preach
ers. 80 per cent.
The sons of the preachers had a
good start, says an exchange. They
were born in poor, but honest,
homes, which is about the best that
can happen to a boy who has in him
the talent for success, That 80 per
cent of the men who are at the head
of hundred great American indus
tries are sons Of preachers at that,
is surprising testimony to the value
of training directed by religious
parents All the sons of preachers
are not religious. Some of them are
quite irreligious. But the majority
take kindly to parental discipline
and example set by parents who are
unused to luxury, though accus-
toned to a plain sufficiency. Either
too little or too much in the way of
personal comforts is dangerous to
the future OF SPIRITED Doy. II MS

il is prone to take on a sordidness
difficult to conceal or eradicate in

hand. if the boy has had too much
of the softening influence of super
fluous comforts he declines, for one
reason or excuse or another to be-
gin his career far enough down to
give him an insight to the founda

that has carried so large a percent
