The reckoning gesture, however,
which the Northern political powers
are making to the Southland can brook
no possible good for us; for it IS
roundly asserted that the Northern in
the South becomes southernized about
one hundred times as fast as the south
erner in the North becomes northern
lied. And either the Republican or
the Democratic parties bidding for
southern favor must subscribe to the
time-honored doctrine Of keeping the
Negro in his place" The 'wooing" -
spells disaster to US, unless we can be
permitted to intervene. II the Metho-
dist Church, North and South, cannot
unite on the color question, how under
the sun can the poor sinners of the

Northern capitalists have found it
most profitable to sew dollars down
home" Florida is a standing proof
Of the financial wisdom just at this
time; but Florida, even under the
bloom of Northern capital, is certainly
no heavenly land for the struggling

just two stimulants behind the whole

We present to the readers a man
who has come up from stalwart Amer

the old town Of Jefferson. when an
nexed 70 Chicago was given ward

by energy he sought early in life TO
battle for himself that ultimately would
become creditable record for those
whom he hoped to have named after
him
He entered the service Of the Post
office Department in 1904; filed the
various positions Of clerk, carrier. sta
ton examiner and foreman. He is ac-
tive in all character Of athletic sport:
his chief diversion is the gun club and
bowling; he is a pioneer in the radio
field Of his neighborhood and mainly
through his activity radios became as
prominent as telephones in the neigh
borhood where he resides. This serv-
ice he gave without thought of hope of
reward. We write this sketch at this
time more because the men with ap-
pointive power in the Postofice De-
partment might in scanning their list
for promotion, look with favor when
they reach the name on the roster Of
William F. Haas, assistant superin-
tendent of Chicago Lawn Postofice.
The men who serve under him at this
station give him the highest recon-
mendation for having a human mind,
recognizing the fact that he once filled
the under positions and his smiles and
words of advice to the men are always
that there are better things farther up

made to the Berlin police by Com

he who threw n bomb last year at
President Wojciechowski of Poland. A
Zionist student named Stanislaus

Proposed Cut.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-P)-A
reduction in rates on grain and grain
products moving from Colorado
Wyoming, Kansas, Oklahoma and Mis-
souri, points to Louisiana territory
west Of the Mississippi river, which
railroads proposed to make effective
rs Of August ~, last. were held by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
today to be justified generally. Pro-
tests against the reduction were made
by Texas flour milling interests.
5 The reduced schedule, which pro-
posed to lower the rates to the terri
tory described by amounts ranging
from one-half cent to 16 cents per
100 pounds, has been suspended by
the commission, but today's decision
will permit them 70 become effective
January o.
In view Of the Texas complaint the
commission held, however, that the re-
auctions were unjustified as to a part
of the railroads and ordered them
cancelled in so far as the railroads
proposed to make them from points on
the Observation-Disclosures, Rock Is
land and Frisco systems. The reduc-
lions will apply from all other West
crn railroad points but by reason of
routing the commission concluded they
would be discriminatory if put into
effect from these three railroads.
