Announcement has been
made in the daily press that
the six Elaine negroes, freed
on technically at the state
penitentiary walls Monday
night, have been engaged to
talk from negro pulpits in Lit
tie Rock Sunday.
1t should not be forgotten
that these negroes stand CON
victed of murder in the first
degree in the courts and that
their freedom is due solely to
the fact that two terms of the
trial court had been allowed
TO pass without their cases be-
ing given a rehearing, after
being remanded by United
States Supreme Court. They
stand convicted of murder in
the eyes Of our courts and our
citizenry, and any attempt to
make heroes of these men, con-
demned as murderers by the
courts, should be prevented.

TENDENCY TO HERESY

The Editor of this publica-
tion has noticed with anxiety
the boldness of the so-called
"higer critics" in recent
months to discredit portions of
the Bible, In a few instances,
men who are supposed to be
our advisors and leaders in
things spiritual, products of
some of our church theologi-
cal schools, in their zeal to-
ward the evolutionary the
ory, have made bold to say
that the creation as given
in Genesis, the first book OF
the Holy Bible, is all wrong,
and there seems to be a grow
ing ten6ency among modern
lists to discredit various other
parts Of the Bible.
In cdntrast to the above, Rev.
LII. Riding, of this city,
preached two excellent SER
mons recently on "What is the
matter with the world" an0
What are we going to do about
it?" In these sermons he tooh
the position that the tendency
in the troublous times since the
World War has been to depart
from the faith of our fathers" ="
This he continued, sis the
real trouble with the world to-
day. The people will have tt
return to the simple faith Of
our fathers if the nation is
saved for christianity" Con
tinuine, the minister laid The
blame for this condition OF
the higher critics" who would
destroy our, faith in the Bible
by denying portions of it. "lt
is either all true or we cannot
afford to accept any of it, anC
for my part l know it is true
every word of it." he said.

rine is being lost. Recognizing
that the time was opportune
for an undertaking of this ma
ture, the organizers of the
Great Northern S. S. Co. form
ed their Corporation, which re-
ceived its charter from the
State of Massachusetts,, Octo-
Der II, 1922.
They visual ed a new ocean
steamship line, plying between
Boston and European ports,
controlled by the people
which would offer to these
same people, a chance for
ocean travel on comfortable
commodious ships, at a price
within the reach of all, but
large enough to allow a profit
for the investor and a suffi-
cient margin to allow for the
carrying on and enlarging of
the enterprise.
This was their threefold pur-
pose-to render a genuine sar-
vice to the people,-to help
build up American ship
ping,-an6 to bring business
and trade to the port Of Bos-
ton.
In spite of the failure of the
Ship Subsidy Bill, in spite of
the opposition which each new
competitor in an established
field encounters, this Compa-
ny is bringing its plans to ma
turity and expects that very
soon it will be able to offer
definite sailing dates to the
public.
This, surely, is an enterprise
that merits your support.

The answer is:
Chemically one may fill the bodily
requirements by. means of two large
meals. but it will probably be at the
expense of perfect health.
Then there is the sour milk fad.
Because fermented milk is useful in
certain well defined conditions, it does
not by any means follow that it is
a cure-all.
"The raw food fad is reasonable, 4"

Columbia University, sin proportion

cooking. Improperly cooked vegetables
are more difficult to digest than raw
vegetables because the stomach will

Mine Owners Reject
Demands of Union Men

New York, Jan. 20.-(By A. P.)-The
six-hour day. five day a week demand
advanced by the United Mine Work
ers of America in 1920 today became
an issue upon which will depend the
success or failure of wage negotia-
tons in progress here between the
Union and bituminous operators of the
tristate competitive field.
1t was rejected. as was the whole
list Of demands submitted by the
miners. The fact that the operators
were prepared to ask concessions
equally unacceptable to the miners
was all that saved the conference
from abrupt collapse. for it was be-
ieved their very divergence offered a
path to compromise.
A subcommittee of employers and
miners was named to consider both
sides demands and from them draw
il possible. a platform which would
make possible further negotiation
when conferences are resumed Mon.
day. This subcommittee went into
session at once.
