ion Of the week.

ton. Steers were quoted at 5000;
heifers, $6@9.75; and COWS, $5@8.
Calf Market Slumps
Lack Of the same urgent demand
that characterized the Monday calf
market caused a demoralizing feel
ing to run rampant among traders.
The market broke sharply at the
start of the trading period but
closed with a total loss of about 50.
Best vea1ers were quoted at SIC with
the bulk of the sales at SIS to $3.50.

mated at 500 calves.

department and prices were fully
steady with the previous day.

Ozark, Ark, March 19-If Less
Mcpherson serves all the time in
prison to which he was sentenced here
today in the Franklin County Circuit
Court, he will be an old, old man when
he regains his liberty. Mcpherson
was one of the three men held on
charges Of robbery and arson growing
out of the disastrous fire here week
ago. When he appeared in court to
answer to the charges he pleaded guilty
to everything Of which he was accused
and for each offense the court imposed
a maximum penalty. A compilation OF
the sentences revealed that he has az
years to serve in the state penitentiary,
He is Is.
Mcpherson was held on seven
charges Of arson and the maximum
penalty of 10 years on each charge
made term of 20 years. The court
added FIVE years for grand larceny ana
seven more for burglary, bringing the
total prison term to 81 years.
Two Others Released
Two other men held with McPher-
son, were far more fortunate. They
are Frank Oliver Of GAINESVILLE and
Sonnie Scott of Coal Hill, both OF
whom were ordered released and were
set at liberty.
Although Mcpherson pleaded guilty
to all charges, he made no SPECIFIC ad-
missions and implicated no one IN a
plot to destroy the city by fire.
Practically all of the buildings on the
north side of the town square were de-
stroyed in the fire which IS said to have
followed the robbery Of the Wakefield
store and which caused loss OF
$4,000. Soon after the arrest OF Nc

!. Amending the Constitution
By THE CAMERAMAN

8. Amending the Constitution
Not few thougatless colored people
are jumping on the band-wagon OF a
dominant group OF equally thoughtless
whites and urging the recall Of the
Eighteenth Amendment of the u. S.
Constitution, which puts the ban upon
John Barleycorn and his alcoholic
family. These ardent agitators, while
deeply sincere in their wishes to hear
the clinking glasses and see the foam
ing cups Of yore. are undoubtedly
moved by the anti-prohibition wave
which is sweeping the country at this
time In their zeal, however, they
leave overlooked the sad. sad precedent
which would be established were the
recall of the Eighteenth Amendment
accomplished The precedent Of tam
pering with the Constitution would be
just the fodder the Solid South would
most joyously absorb in its vigorous
desire to waive the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth AMENDMENTS Indeed, with
happy laughter this particular section
of our Federal Commonwealth would
point to the repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment as reason why the FIT.
teenth should be forthwith set aside.
1t is the belief that the South was the
most active advocate of the Eighteenth.
Surely, however, revery brother knows
just how dormant the same section is
with regard to the Fifteenth.
In joining the bandwagon of repeal
Of the Eighteenth, the brethren Of the
dark cloth are indeed skating on the
thinnest of ice. 1t has been well said
that the u. s. Constitution affords no
standing ground for extremists; and if
anyone thinks that the Eighteenth
Amendment was put into that historic
document by the extremist group, that
is no reason why it should be taken out
by another extremist group. If the
white man. wants repeal, let him set
himself to the job in his own way; but
let it be unsaid at the consummation
Of a Constitutional repeal, if such an
i'll event ever takes place, that any
black man was a party to it. The
boomerang Of repeal might pass the
white repealers on its backward course;
but no one. can deny the probability Of
its bringing with it an era of harm for
those citizens whom the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments, are sworn
to protect BEWAREl

German "Kulture" Kicks

According to the usually accurate
New York Times, German culture is
singing the blues over the fact that its
erstwhile proponents have lately
weakened under the strains of Negro
jazzers and the offerings of Negro
actors, who, say the ex-Kaiser's
people, are a detriment to German So
cial and cultural policies. The Times
quotes the official organ of the German
Nationalist, which, in a recent issue,
said: "The contortions of these exotic
guests has not any connection with art
and culture. German artists who have
undergone long years of training are
starving, while troops of colored per-
formers are gathering enormous SAL
aries"
Thus, there is sounded new tune to
the future of colored American per-
formers abroad, who were once wont to
find a warmer welcome over there
than, at times, they received upon the
American stage. In fact, London and
Paris music halls, along with Berlin
centers of amusement, have long since
given our musical and theatrical aces
the glad hand. Is this genuine pro-
test, based upon unemployment diff
culties and industrial depressions which
now abound in Germany? Is it back
thrust on account Of memories Of the
American Negro troops who, during
the World War, made quite dent in
the German army? Or is it a subtle,
semi-secret motivation Of some unseen
bloc which is stealthily endeavoring TO
innoculate Europe with an increased
hatred toward the darker races? It is
of little moment whether a colored
actor or cabaret singer is permitted to
entertain a single unit of German Gull
ture; but it is of supreme importance
that German culture and that of all the
other countries of Europe, Asia, Aus
tralia, etc, be made to recognize the
fact that the world is firing Of dealing
in colors; and that the modern trend
will be to deal with men as men, in
peace or in strife.
