Wisdom of Booker T. Washington.
toaruthersvllIe Democrat-Argus.,


Booker T. Washington, the great
niger educator, said, "the first,
most important, and hardest lesson
to learn a niger is that he is a mig
ger. After that the rest is easy" He
once said, "when black fellow has
been in my school six months with
out learning that he is niger send
him back to his unfortunate parents"
Pemiscot county niggers had better
buy round trip tickets before starting.
They may, however, get some school
ing at home, if we are correctly in
formed. The moment the black man
learns that his modern ancestors were
niggers, that he is niger, and that
his children will be niggers, the race
question will be forever settled. Then
he will have true and sympathetic
friend in the white man, and will be-
gin his march towards peace, happi-
ness and prosperity. Unprincipled
politicians have preached equality to
him in order to perpetuate his politi-
cal slavery until they have about de-
stroyed mighty good wor khand.

Not Fabulous.
1.-THE Baptist Home.) }


The Home has made progress ever
since it started. 1t has acquired some
property and taken care of quite lot
of old people. 1t has gone forward
with it's work of building without in
terruption, and has drawn to itself
the sympathetic interest in our peo-
pie all lover the state. In other words,
the Home has been and is a success,
and our people like the work it does.
These facts have created the impress
sion in some quarters that the
churches must be pouring money into
the treasury of the home as water
pours over broken dixie. A little
examination of the figures for the
year ending June 80, 1922, will dispel
this false impression. Our books
closed June 80. During the twelve
preceding months the Home received
for it's support from the churches So
393.71. This money came from 751
churches, representing 81 associa-
tions. This amount does not include
individual gifts, nor does it include
payments on Victory Pledges. Neith-
er does it include special gifts for the
building fund received from IA
churches and church departments.
The last minutes of the General AS
sociation reports that we have in
Missouri 1909 Baptist churches. When
we compare this with the 75l churches
contributing to the support of the
Home during the twelve months end
ing June 80, we see that the Homes
support for the year has come from
far less than half the churches. Be it
remembered also, that in the 751
churches there is many a one whose
entire contribution has been made by
Sunday School class, a young peo-
ple's or women's society. In this
count we have called everything
sschurch" that represents more than
one person. In another part of the
paper we give table showing the
amount that has come from each as
sociation, the number of churches in
the association participating, and the
average the contribution would be
for each church if equally divided
among the entire number of churches
composing the association.
The marvel is, that we have been
able to accomplish SO much with SO
little. With more support we can
care for more people The churches
are not impoverishing themselves by
their gifts to the Home, the average
gift from the participating churches
being $12.51, and the average from al
the churches from the state being
$5.19. 1t is quite evident that the
support of the old folks Home is not
very heavy drain upon the finances
Of the churches. When we further
consider that of the entire amour
given by the churches for the sup
port of the Home through period O
twelve months all but So, ,O65 93 cams
from the Offering, we are almost con :
strained to feel that the churches are
not taking the Home for Aged Bap1
fists very seriously.

To the Members of the Sewing Circle.

There is probably not a member of
the circle who does not have occasion
to use gingham. Gingham frocks and
aprons constitute one of the neces-
stiles of the American home. Ameri-
can women will read with special in
terest the following from Senator
Simmons (Dem., N. C.), which shows
up simply one of the many points OF
attack which the Republican tariff
makes upon the American housewife.
In speech recently, Senator Sim
mons said:
"I have taken the duty ON ginghams.
That is an average, l believe, of 4S
per cent. The initial duty would be
80 per cent. Under this section the
duty added would be 70 per cent.
That is 42 per cent. Then add the
dye duty, and you have per cent
more. That would raise it above the
maximum. 1t could not go higher
than 45 per cent; but the compensa-
tory duty on account of the Egyptian
cotton is not embraced in that limita-
tion, and the compensatory duty ac-
cording to the calculation that I have
here, made by the expert, would
amount to per cent if there was
Egyptian cotton used in the cloth,
which, added to the 45 per cent,
would make 49 per cent, as against 20
per cent under the present law"
AS cotton cloth can be made more
cheaply in America than in any other
country in the world, and there can
therefore be no reason for the tariff
except to enable American manufac-
turers to tax the American home, the
special hardship and iniquity of this
tariff on ginghams becomes glaringly
apparent. The above, however,
covers only a single item. The tariff
on cotton is intended to increase the
price on all kinds and grades of this
universally used product. In antici-
pauion of the passage of this measure
prices have already been advanced.

strenuth of a clssr Conscience.

A great fnancier in New York sat
one day, a good many years ago, on
the board of one of the big life insur
ance companies, and argued with its
members that they ought to buy space
in the newspapers every year and
print their whole balance sheet, show
ing every dollars worth OF property
they owned. One director objected in
dignantly. 'But some day you will
make a bad investment" the objector
said. "What are you going to do
then? Are you going to advertise that
to the public too?7 To which the
financier replied: "If you know in adj
vance that every investment you
make is going to be advertised, you
will be much less likely to make a
bad investment" Joseph French

The League of Nations.
tFrom the Brooklyn Eagie,)

(From the Brooklyn Eag1e)
Few organizations show so much
life as the League of Nations, which
certain Republican leaders solemnly
assured US was dead and had been
buried by the overwhelming vote that
carried President Harding into office.
rhe League was never quite so much
alive as today, and it is continually
branching out in different directions.
The "Second Year Book" of the
league, compiled and edited by Prof.
Charles Fl. Levermore, has just been
published by the Eagle. The COM
plete record of the leagues activities
from it's creation is contained in the
two volumes prepared by Prof. Lever
more, and the second year of the
league found it much stronger and its
work increasing in magnitude, di-
versity and Importance. In the
"Second Year Book" Prof. Lever
more has given greater scope to the
volume and includes not only the ac-
tivities OF the League Council and AS
sembly and their com mittee and COM
missions, but covers as we'll the Wash
ington conference, the meetings of
the Allied Supreme Council and othe r
international conferences. This COM
bination is both logical and service
able. The Supreme Council of the
Allies and the Supreme Council of the
League are all but synonymous, while
the Washington conference was made
up of members of the league, plus the
United States. Sooner or later it is to
be hoped that the purposes of all
these agencies will be centered in the
League of Nations, which was special
ly designed to do what all the inter
national gatherings have been trying
to do, namely, bring about lasting
world peace.

The Bubonic Plaque.

The bubonic plague is an epidemic
disease which has been very prevalent
and terribly destructive in almost every
part of the eastern hemisphere since
the Third century B. c., and probably
before that time. From the discolQra'
ton of the skin by effusions of blood,
which is characteristic Of severe and
fatal cases, it became known as the
Black Death. The disease is unknown
in the tropics. 1t has prevailed most
extensively in temperate climates, and
it is not Of infrequent occurrence in
cold countries such as Russia, Sweden
and Norway. A moist and moderately
warm climate is most favorable to its
development, while intense heat CT
cold will usually arrest it.

institutions devoted entirely to their
care" he writes.
The Generals reply, that "because
we have money is no sign we should
waste it," and "we must be careful in
the disposition of it," is hollow and
pointless. More, it bears out precise
ly Col. Sprague's description of the
Generals capacity. Just as economy
was secondary in winning the war, so
it is secondary in caring for the men
who gave their health to win it.
Virtually every visitor to this country
has compared our treatment of
wounded men unfavorably with the
treatment accorded those of the debt
ridden countries of Europe, where
the number of dependents, moreover,
is far greater. Others, with less, have
done far better by their heroes.
If Gen. Sawyer cannot reconcile his
Marion ideas of thrift with the neces-
sity for haste in this matter, he would
better heed Col. Sprague's admoni-
tion, and step aside.

A Small Man in a Large Job.
(St. Louis Post-Dispatch,l

II.
When President Harding caused his
family physician, Charles E. Sawyer,
to be elevated from the status of a
little country doctor to the rank OF
Brigadier General, the country snick-
cred and allowed that it could afford
to indulge the chief executive in his
personal whim. But when Brigadier-
General Sawyer was placed in charge
of the plans for tie treatment and
care of disabled veterans, he acquired
an immense responsibility to men
whose claims on the nation are vital
and pressing.
The result is seen in a biting letter
which Col. Sprague of the American
Legion addresses to Gen. Sawyer,
charging him with seriously delaying
and interfering with the program
from "penurious and mercenary'
motives. He says, in plain words
that the small town doctor has been
unable to grasp the problem. 1t is q
stern accusation, and it is supported
by telling testimony. more thar

Nominated and Repudiated.

fSt. Louis Post-Dlspatch.
The Democratic primary returns in
dicate the denomination of Senator
Reed by small plurality three or
four thousand votes.
Although it is too early for a
thorough analysis of the returns,
they clearly show that the Senator
was repudiated by majority of his
own party. The case against him was
complete and the Democratic verdict
condemned him, but he pulled through
by the votes of Republican admirere,
particularly the German American
element. 1t was moral defeat. He
himself magnified and sneered down
the weakness of his opponent, yet
after an intensive, exhaustive cam
paign of about three months, in which
he played upon every string of argu-
mentative and emotional appeal, he
failed to rally q majority of the Demo-
Gratis to his support, but won pitiful
plurality from Republicans in the cities
and Republican counties.
The result is Disappointing to all
those who fought Senator Reed on
principle and who hoped for an over
whelming Endorsement of the great
and vital cause for which the Demo
Gratis stood. There is, however, in
the results gratifying evidence that
the cause of peace through interna-
tional CO. operation is not lost, but, or
the contrary, holds vigorous support
among large elements of the people
and is opposed mainly by special ele.
ments, moved mainly by foreign
antipathies and sympathies.
