n ALESTINE, the land where
Christ lived, and long since
known to all the civilized world
as the Holy Land, on a whole cannot
be called beautiful land. Every
province, and there are seven, has its
peculiar physical form and taken sep
arately they are interesting to note,
but grouped they remind one of our
own hills and valleys, except, of
course, they are devoid of the natural
signs of care and cultivation. In
striking such comparison, do not be-
lieve me to mean the more picturesque
scenery which America has, but Pales-
tine, to me is like the state of Cali
fornia, uphill, down-hill but with
twice as much variety of scenery and
climate. All American, though, has
no such remarkable plateous as Pales-
tine.
Running north and south along the
shores of the Mediterranean sea is the
the Plain of Sharon, and the PhOeni
clan coast. Gradually rising up from
them into what is almost the middle
Of the country are the mountains of
Judah, mountains of Ephraim and
Mount Carmel. These mountains are
a literal dividing line between East
and West Palestine. Just beyond
them lies the Dead Sea, 1,300 feet be-
low the level of the Mediterranean.
Due north of it and about siXty-five
miles distant, is the Sea of Galilee.
These two inland seas are Joined by
the River of Jordan and its tribu-
taries Beyond them and further in
to the interior, lay the Mountains of
Moab, Mountains of Gilead and Mount
Hermon, all of which slope gently
away to the Syrian Desert The land
of Palestine comprises the provinces
of Judea, Samaria, Galilee, Phoenicia,
Damascus, Decapholis and Perea,
which in turn comprise all the various
types of land from sandy seashores
and fertile valleys to lofty, barren
mountains and burning desert lands.

coupled with the fact that they do not
exceed eighty miles in width and 25O
miles in length, help to make Pales-
tine the most remarkable part of the
World. 1t has been called the Least
of all the lands" and rightly so, for
had it been larger its influence might
have been less.
AS might be supposed, in such
land of varied conditions, the inhabi-
tants are engaged in just as varied
pursuits. The chief, however, are
farming and sheep raising. There
are, of course, the merchants and
traders, seafarers, laborers, learned
men, guides, servants and countless
professional "do nothings." But on
whole, the 100000 persons get along
to suit their fancy without much aid
from the outside world and apparent
ly not much thought of it. The most
ancient methods are used in tilling the
soil and grinding grain. In fact, every
where Is to be seen the most obsolete
methods. 1t is just now and then
that one glimpses an occidental touch
in doing things, and always used by
modern settlers. Donkeys and cameis
continue to be the chief beasts OF

II " l'eoISs toi-
demned to death by Arkansas
Il courts in connection with the
riots of 1919, whose cases the Nation
al Association for the Advancement
of Colored People has fought through
five courts, including the Arkansas
Supreme Court, will not be executed,
according to a decision rendered by
the highest tribunal of the land on
February 10, setting aside the convic-
tion of these men. The Supreme
Courts decision takes the cases of the
condemned colored farmers out of the
jurisdiction of the state of Arkansas
and requires the United States Dis
trict Court to examine into the at
tempt to railroad these men to death.
The Arkansas cases constitute the
center of fight being made to bring
the facts of peonage in the cotton
raising sections of the United States
to light, and to bring federal pressure
to abolish that evil. In the legal bat
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People has raised
S14,572 AZ and already spent $14
besides thousands of dollars raised
and spent by the colored people of
Arkansas who were vitality Interested
in the fate of their comrades. The
victory before the Supreme Court is
due to the courageous and untiring Ia
bors of Scipio A. Jones, a colored at
torney of Little Rock, and to Moor
field Storey, president of the n. A. A.
C. p, who appeared before the Su-
preme Court in Washington on Jan
uary 8, 1923, to argue the cases.
The Arkansas case originated in the
riot of 1919, when it was asserted
that the colored farmers in and near
Phillips county, Arkansas, had con
spired to massacre the whites" A
personal investigation of the riot made
by Walter f. White, who was sent to
Arkansas by the n. A. A. G. p, dis
closed that far from planning mass
acre" the colored farmers had been
organized to employ lawyer to COM
pei settlements from their landlords
who were holding their tenants in a
state of peonage or debt slavery.
During the riots, some 250 innocent
Negroes, men, women and children,
were hunted and shot down in the Ar
kansas cane brakes. posses of white
men coming from Mississippi and Ten
nessee to join in the hunt. The col
ored men, arrested were beaten and
tortured to make them testify, sixty
seven were sentenced to long. prison
terms and twelve were sentenced to
death. The cases of all the men SEN
fenced to death hinge upon the cases
of the five whose convictions have
been reversed by the United States
Supreme Court.
In the brief filed before the Supreme
Court by Mr. Storey, it Is charged
that the courts of Arkansas, including
the Arkansas Supreme Court, the
newspapers, leading white citizens ana
clubs, conspired or connived at con-
spiracy to railroad these colored
farmers to death.
The Supreme Courts decision says :
1.-The ground for the petition for the
writ is that the proceedings in the
state court, although trial in form'
were only the pressure of mob with
out any regard for their rights ana
without, according to them, due pro-
cess of law" Concerning the trial ac-
corded the colored men, the United
States Supreme Courts decision says !;

REJECTS s-HONUR THEORY.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Judge Gary of the steel trust takes the usual position of accepting the theory of eight hours, but" he is quoted, i've do not in tend to wreck the industry and that is what would happen if we adopted it."
 This claim is not in accord with engineers and scientists who have shown that eight hours will do ex- actly the opposite from wrecklng the industry.
 Judge Gary's statement marks the end of a conference at the White House, recently, on this subject. Emo tional people imagined at that time that the steel trust experienced a change of heart and would voluntarily yield concessions to it's employees.
