Stop Night Coughing
This Simple Way

People who have persistent, an
noying coughing spells at night, and
who through loss of valuable sleep
are weakening their systems and
laying themselves open to dangerous
Infections, can stop their distressing
trouble promptly by a very simple
treatment. Hundreds who have
hardly been able to rest at all for
coughing, have gotten their full
nights sleep the very first time they
tried it.
The treatment is based on a re-
markable prescription known as Dr.
Kings New Discovery for Coughs.
You simply take a teaspoonful at
night before retiring and hold it in
YOUR throat for 15 or 20 seconds be-
fore swallowing it, without follow
ing with water. The prescription
has a double action. 1t not only
soothes and heals soreness and irri-
tation, but it quickly loosens and
removes the phlegm and congestion
which are the direct cause of the
coughing. The result is that you
usually sleep as soundly as a babe
the very first night, and the entire
cough condition goes in a very short
time.
The prescription is highly recon-
mended for coughs, chest colds.
hoarseness and bronchitis. and is
wonderful for children's coughs and
spasmodic croup-no harmful drugs.
Economical, too, as the dose Is only
one teaspoonful. 1t is on sale at all
good druggists. Ask for

JUDGE BHRTLETT-
OUR LATE. FRIEND.

Time, the tiresess censor Of life's span, has
obeyed the call of Death by yielding up
another staunch friend Of our group /. the
passing of Judge Willard Bartlett, late CHEF
Justice of the New York Court Of Appeals.
We well remember the amiable justice. whs
used to take delight in passing out gifts Of
candy and money to the little colored children
of Middle Long Island, New York Nor did
they worry during the early days Of Judge
Bartlett about having fireworks on the Fourth
Of July, or plenteous goodies during Thanks
giving or Christmas periods. for Judge Bart
lett was sure to stop at the house and re-
member the Riddles, and mother AMI father.
also.
e. Judge Bartlett believed in an even break
for everybody, and it is not strange thas he
remained on the bench year after year. ustd
he was given the highest judicial assignment
within the bounds Of the people Of his State
Justice saturated his whole life and was ful-
some in his soul long before his elevation to
the Chief Judgeship.
1t seems that many Of our friends Of the
yesterdays" are passing on, and though
many remain in the ranks of the old-fasnoned
just folk, such as PowderH, Harlan and
Bartlett are not stalwart These absentees
must be replaced and the growing band Of
"supremists" must be made to know thai in
no wise are they considered as embodying
the true spirit Of America. Justice must not
be confined to the Bench, for it is needed
just as much in the highways and byways
where men Of the type Of Judge Baaett
seem to be few and far between.
We are grateful, though. for the advent
Of men such as he. From their memoirs we
can extract wholesome examples Of real
manhood which may sway the pack
whenever it besets us most savageH.

MICHIGAN AND MISSOURI
MARCH FORWARD.

Forward-ooking movements Of great sig
nihcance, economically and socially, are
taking place in the Statea Of Michigan and
Missouri, where state officials are foreseeing
a new day for the Negro population. In
Michigan, C. A. Campbell, Negro special
agent, attached to the State Department Of
Labor and Industry. has visualized wide
expansion of agricultural territory, upon the
soil of which Negro farmers and agriculturists
may find wealth of employment in farming
and agricultural occupations, which are quite
as important as the anvil chorus of factory
or industrial plant.
In Missouri, another State official, Robert
S. Cobb. has compiled an Illuminating report
upon the conditions surrounding Missouri
Negroes. Mr. Cobb did not miss anything
in his facts and figures relative 70 industry.

two officials than Ito pen a true picture Of

standing. But the gentlemen have gone
step further. They have made reeommen-
dahons to their cheftains, and they have
pointed out to the country at large what may
be done to put all the citizens Of their STATES
upon a parity. thus equalizing labor and
protecting health. happiness and home.
The remedy is a paatable one, and there
is no reason under the sun why the people
Of Michigan and Missouri, both white and
colored, should hesitate to take it. 1t contains
for such events as have had such harmful
effects in East St. Louis, Chicago and Wash

PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE
is pursuing the course of a fearless
statesman, His proposition for the
reduction of the expenses of Govern
ment IS the correct che. He proposes
to increase the pay of those persons
who are employed by the government
and to reduce the number of those
employed. who are not essentially
necessary for the conduct of the
government. ~<
By this method, he would promote
the efficiency Of the service. OF
course there will be a loud cutlery in
certain quarters as result of this
policy but it is carrying out the
declaration Of one of our greatest
statesmen and financiers, when he
said, what Is needed is more business
in government and less government

policy. He will pOpularize his ad.

"COLD-BLOODED BUSINESS"

The Manager of the Steamship Line Of
the Back Cross Navigation and Trading

Booker T. Washington. is riding the
bounding pillows somewhere between New
York and the West Indies. is quoted in the
New York press as saying: we are going
to run it on cold-blooded business lines. We
do not intend to cut rates. All we want is
a quare DEAL.
"Cold-blooded business has an ominous
strain, not unlike the evening dirge of hang
man, or the reverie Of the master Of galley
Save ship. 1t is in direct contrast to the
Golden Rule, and, if thoroughly applied to
us poor mortals, it would make the world
decidedly more unhappy than it is. Let us

OPINIONS OF A FEW

So fond is Misery Of Company that COM
parsons have frequently been made between
Negroes and Jews with the assertion that
the latter are as often the detectives Of scorn
and social hatred as are the former 1t
may be enlghtening to see ourselves reflected
in the mind Of son of Palestine. who IS
now candidate for high degrees in one Of
America leading universities.
# The Jewish gentleman, whom we know
personally, and who was mos gracious and
cordial in his approach, was quite clever
enough to preface his remarks by reference
to the late Booker T. Washington, whom he
quoted as having said: Our greatest dan
ger is that in the great leap from slavery to
freedom. we may overlook the fact that the
masses of us are to i've by the production OF
our hands. Hand-producion is always de-
serving of praise. and all the masses, white
and black. are subject to the same rule.
However. we think it is somewhat over
emphasized with regard to the BROTHER
who. like his racial contemporaries. yeams
for graduation day. now and then. from
the pick and shovel. 8
Our Jewish informant continued BY saying
that IN hesdssrs'ss hack Of incentive is
found great paA d tie cause IF the worry
IN this so-caFed Negro problem. We can
hardly agree viii our friend in this philoso-
ply. Too much incentive that is. too
much to suit the other fellow is the thing
that makes his palm itch TO clamp the lid
tightly upon us.
Our philosopher rambled on by stating:
I'VE find the major part of the Negro work
ers in the field of unskilled labor due in some
cases to his lack Of education, in some by
exploitation by the white people, in other
cases to the lack of assimilation which exists
between the white and Negro races. in fur
ther cases to the awkwardness Of the race,
and finally in the determinations shown
against the race Amen. with some reser-
vations as to assimilation and "awk-.
wardness"
We thank our informant for his tribute to
the Negro planter poet actor. singer, ply
sician. lawyer, and in fact. all the en-
deavors which he has been allowed to work
to his hearts content.
Our friend was little dusty upon Ger
tain social conditions distasteful to us all. He
said. very soomiy. 1t is regrettable fact
that the colored people should. if they &C
tually do, look for social equality with the
white race. -ssi
Personally, We have witnessed about fifty
seven different varieties Of social equality,
many of which are existing under misnomers.
The increasing number Of mulattoes is one
phase Of the social equality game which we
would like to see thrown in the discard.
In conclusion, it can be seen that the Jew
ish group, unlike us, is not paying homage to
the "misery-oves-company' doctrine. That
group considers itself we'll out Of the woods,
and is complacenty basking on the isles of
independents. viewing our ills in the same
nonchalant way and in the light Of the same
PHILOSOPHERS pursued by the other white
groups. Clearly, it's our move.

IF THE BLACK STAR LINE and

steamer has been purchased and
sailed for West Indian ports, the
scheme is doomed. To be sensible

a half million dollars more is avail
able. Then the promoters will have
enough ready cash to ensure the
success of the venture by taking care
