mailed from here ON Sept. 27 and
received IN New York Oct. 2. which
has been examined and which he is
positive was written by the evange

Ormiston has been sought through
out the country for many weeks on
charges Of conspiring with the
evangelist to pcrpctrate n kidnapping

of kidnapcrs as she asserts.

Old Problem, LeaOes
Room, for Argument

The question of whether the bach
elor or the married man lives the
longer is one which has been discussed
for long time, but the problem today
is still unsolved. After weighing the
arguments Of all investigators and
comparing the bewildering array Of
statistics gathered in many countries
under varying conditions, it is impos-
sible to reach a conclusive answer.
Many statisticians and other investi-
gators who may qualify as experts on
the subject hold views Numerically
opposed to one another.
The answer to this question has
a general and far-reaching influence.
If 1t Is established that the chances
Of long life are greater for bachelors
than for the married, both men and
women will naturally be Influenced in
choosing between the two states. The
moralist finds such statistics the basis
for argument. For the insurance COM
panies the question Is very practical
one. Before millions of dollars are
risked upon the expectation of life,
the most reliable figures obtainable
are gathered, regardless of trouble or
expense.

Commandments That
Are Worth Observing

Honor your. parents by having a
thorough physical examination every
birthday; for an ounce of prevention
is worth ton of cure.
Honor your friends by taking
daily bath; for cleanliness Is a part
Of goodness.
Honor your family by having your
life insured; for life insurance guar
antees the cooperation of the insurer
in the prolongation Of the L.; of the
insured.
Honor your stomach by having your
teeth examined by dentist at regu-
lar intervals for bad teeth are an
abomination to the system.
Honor your digestion by being care
full Of your diet; for many man digs
his grave with his teeth.
Honor your lungs by breathing fresh
air; for ventilation is a means OF
grace.
Honor your nerves by taking plenty
Of rest In sleep.
Honor your fellows by obeying the
law; for 1t is mark Of good citizen
ship to obey law whether one likes
1t or not

that power effective in behalf of the
race.
"This has been brought home to
the N. A. A. C. P. by numerous let
tiers of inquiry asking about the rec
ord of candidates for Office and seek
, ing our advice about how to vote in
the coming elections.
"Our reply is very simple; make
every candidate for election to the
United States Senate state unequivo-
cally and plainly what he intends to
do, if elected, about the Dyer bill,
Acknowledgement and segregation in
Washington. AS every one knows, it
is the United States Senate that has
blocked passage of the Dyer Anti
Lynching bill. with the result that
there have been more lynchings in
the first eight months of 1926 than
there were in the whole twelve
months OF 1870.
Our advice to colored voters ev-
erywhere, is to vote for the senatorial
candidate, irrespective of his party
who answers the three questions in
a straightforward and satisfactory
manner; and to vote against any
candidate who fails to do so. If a
candidates past record does not ac-
cord with his promises, demand an
explanation. If colored voters will
concentrate on these issues, if they
will write in large numbers to candi-
dates for election to the Senate, il
they will force these men to declare
themselves, great step forward will
have been taken toward making the
votes of Negroes as a group in Amer
lea, effective"
