have crumbled. But he believed
in himself, and so he did some

and the first big library. And

Of the energy that creates some

DONE IT-that is called brag-

power giving fair warning Of
what is coming.
Professor Nicholson. winner of
the Nobel prize and greatest
living physicist, tells the story of
a truly modest, very learned
scientist, called as witness in a
law suit growing out of the use
Of Niagara's electric power. The
lawyer examining him asked him
if he was a very great specialist
in his line. He answered "Yes."
He then asked if he was the very

was under oath and had to tell
the truth" 1t is possible to be
modest and at the samestime to
know that you amount to some
thing. 1t is possible for the
English nurse whom Havelock
Ellis admires to jump into the
sea stark naked to save drown
ing men, yet be perfectly modest.
If you think otherwise, what is
YOUR definition of modesty in
men and in women?
Modesty distinguishes man
from animals. No animal has any
modesty. All human beings not
insane have more or less, al
though in some of the lowest
savages and in some of the most
prosperous human parasites it is
hard to find.
Certain religions have made
a religious rite of immodesty
abominable.
Like other things, modesty has
been the result of mental evolu-
tion, but do not tell that to Mr..
Bryan if you meet him. A new
born baby is not modest; you
know it. Same with a newborn
or primitive race.
Modesty began long ago in the
forest, and women began it, as
they began all the high virtues.
II is easy enough for any woman
to guess how it began.

Clothes to Cost More
Walsh Tells Senators

An advance in the price of cloth
ing In predicted by Senator Walsh.
OF Massachusetts, as the result Of
agitation for a hign tariff on wool,
which. he says. has already sent the
cost OF cloth up 25 to 80 cents a
yard.
Senator Walsh read a letter yes
terday from a large clothing concern
in Boston in which It was said that
the cost OF making a mans suit has
already increased from 81 TO 81.
The retail consumer" the letter
continued. instead OF being able to
get clothing for less in the fall Of
1922 than he did in 1921, will be
obliged to pay the same price. II not
more. because the reduction in labor
costs has hardly overcome the ad-
vance in the price OF cloth"

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure cartarr-
hal deafness, and that is by constitu-
ional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes
When this tube inflamed you have a
rumbIing sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube to its nor
NAL condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrah Peafness that can

Notice Of Change of Policy Of this
Paper Regarding Writ-Ups, Etc.

Notice is hereby given by the
manager OF this paper, that be-
ginning with August fst there
will be a charge on all matter sent
here for publication except purely
news.
All papers, Obituaries. Pro-
grams. Resolutions. Essays. Ser
mons. Personal Write-ups, etc.
There will be charge OF 81 90
for the above named for Is lines
and all articles containing more
than IS type lines Ioc will be
charged fer every additional line.
This does not apply to news o.
the churches.
We are compelled to do this for
financial protection. Our more
than p years of experience in
the newspaper world has taught
US that we have been giving
away hundaeds Of dollrrs annually
paying for setting type for such
things in which the general public
is not interested in. and most OF
the time the persons writing are
not subscribers and not interested
in and have no Race pride or
Race Loyalty, they make long
and loud speeches to the galleries,
preach great sermons and write
fne papers on patronizing Race
enterprises and that is as far as il
goes with them, as nine times out
ten they give their job work what
little they have. to other persons
other than face papers and are
withholding the support from the
men vho are fighting mob and
lynch law and the many other IN
equalities and evils which contain
mate the race fifty two weeks in
the year. while these would be
race lovers find excuses IN giving
their work to others claiming they
are too high priced or the work is
inferior to others. when at the
same time these same papers that
they refuse to let do theirs are do
ing work for Negroes who do not
pose as Race leaders, and too.
these same race papers are doing
Job work for some OF best busi-
ness firms and individuals OF the
white race. The papers are great
so long as they boost this class %
individuals for naught and let him
help the fellow who does not need
his financial assistance. There
seems too much racial jealousy
, and envy among the majority
OF our great leaders and that ac-
connts for slow progress along
race enterprises.
Therefore We have taken the
matter Under careful advisement
and have concluded to place a
small charge on all matter. except
purely news All Associational.
Conventional matter we expect
the officers OF the Bodies to take
care Of in more systematic way
hereafter at quarterly and annual
meeting. Our experience a, the
meetings in the past forces US to
make this request.
No one who believes in a Just
compensation for honest work
will object to this requirement.
