people have long way yet to 60 in
the annals of freedom and liberty.
The Vanishing African
DR., Fl. H. Laughlin (white) Of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington,
states that within four generations the
American Negro, now 80 per cent Of
the total population, will have shrunk
to but $50 per cent. The good doctor
further sings his swan song by saying
that within the same span Of time the
United States will be dominated BY
descendants of present foreign-born
residents. who, it was presumed, be-
cause of their prolific ways, will null
tiply more rapidly than native stock,
black and white. Were this unhappy
absorption to continue, the African
would all but have vanished within the
next fifteen generations, and the diff
cult problems of interracial adjustment
in America would have disappeared,
we presume.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
inter-mixture in the South and inter-
marriage in the North are taking a
heavy toll from the African ranks.
Even so, Dr. Laughlin should take
into consideration the tremendous
trend now on foot to reduce the Negro
to ghetto life. The Indianapolis ordi-
nance, when coupled with all the other
state and municipal enactments aimed
to keep the Negro in the poise Of half
man rather than whole man. are
bound, if nothing intervenes, to go a
long way towards defeating DIR.
Laughlin's prediction. AT least, dur
ing the next dozen or so generations,
the Negro apparently faces either (l)
freedom and determination, or ~
segregation and racial longevity; and
just which one of these two "evils" is
the lesser, we cheerfulIy leave to DIR.
Laughlin and his kinsmen,-that is, Of
course, as we said before, if nothing
intervenes. Of course, history teaches
US that evil is usually counteracted at
some time or other in connection with
every base situation, near or distant;
and within our own hearts we and our
children shall look hopefully forward
to some God-given solvent which will
knock both of the above-named posi-
bilities into cooked hat, thus relieving
the progeny of both DR.. LaughIin's
race and of our own to some future
days of Peace, Truth, and Justice.

Pace Makes Statement

Harry A. Pace, candidate for Grand
Secretary, at the coming election and
Past Grand Exalted Ruler OF the
order, says:
The Order of Elks has around
100000 in cash, $4,000 of which is
on deposit in two white banks in Rich
mond, Va. One OF these banks paws
no interest whatever on a $4,000 de-
post they have had for nearly ten
years. while another pays 2 per cent
on $4,000 that has been with them
for .long time.
Il have sought for many wears TO
have this money properly invested or
to be distributed for deposit among the
worthy banking institutions operated
by our own people. There are only
two obstacles in the way.
One of these is the Grand Secretary
and the other is the Grand Treasurer.
both Of whom have blocked every ef-
tort to put any Of this money in col
ored banks, except one effort made by
me throughout a whole years time.
after which I succeeded in placing
$1,000 in the Wage Farmers Savings
Bank of Savannah, Ga, against the
opposition of both these men.
I'm addition to this fact the Order
paid for printing during 1o24-25, the
sum of $3,o12.06, all of which went to
one firm Of white printers in New
York, notwithstanding there are dozens
of printing houses operated by mem
bers of the Race who are also mem
bers OF the Order. All Of this money
should have gone to colored printers.
This year am making a further
endeavor to break down this program
by running as candidate for Grand
Secretary against George Bates. Should
| win I pledge that every dollar of
that money will be deposited under
proper safeguard in Negro banks and
that every dollar Of money expended
for printing and supplies shall go to
colored printers"

those who have followed the fortunes
Of this rapidly growing organization.
The present Grand Exalted Ruler,
J. Finley Wilson, Of Washington, D.

for fifth term, and is confident of
his reelection. There is an unwritten
law in the Elks that no man shall serve

four years and only two men have ever
served that long since the original
founder of the Order, B. F. Howard,
served ten years. 1t was one of Mr..

wrecking the organization.
Singularly enough, one of the lead
ers in the fight against Mr.. Towards
perpetuation in Office was the present
Grand Secretary, George E. Bates.
who had ambitions then to become
Grand Exalted Ruler. But evidently
Mr.. Bates changed his opinion about
the long tenure of Office after he be-
came Grand Secretary, as he has been
in Office Is years and is DESTROYS Of
holding on to that lucrative job, which
now pays a salary Of $500 per year
besides expenses.

department have made their second ar
rest in three days.
The healer" taken into custody at
his home at No. lila Sherman street,
gave his name as John Moser, sixty-six.
He is alleged to have treated all sorts of
ailments with the use of a punching
machine. - His arrest followed a visit
to his home by A. F. KewaId, a health
department Inspector, who posed as a
patient in need Of treatment for rheuma-
tism.
In District Court, Moser was given a
continuance to February Is and bail set
at $500.
Several decades ago there came into
use in Germany a contraption which
made tiny holes in the chest.
The machine had a plate covered with
a myriad of needles about an eight of an
inch long, fastened to a spring gun de-
vice. The trigger was pulled and the
needles plunged into the patients chest.

GOVERNMENT ASKED TO
SPEND MILLIONS TO MAKE
COTTON In CALIFORNIA

We feel that the following article
will draw the interested, if not
startled attention of its readers, With
Georgia and the South suffering from
overproduction of cotton, it is pro-
posed in Congress to spend $780,
009,00O of public funds on develop
ing further great cotton acreages in
the Far West In this connection 1t
is well to remember the warning OF
President FL. G. Hastings, of the
Georgia Association, published last
week that West Texas already enjoys
a permanent advantage of seven cents
per pound over Georgia in cotton
raising. The Swing-Johnson bill Is
filed with significance for the far
ners of Georgia and the South.

ed for the crop, while the lack of
need for fertilizer is further I'M
portant advantage.
Profit
When good middling is selling at
15c in New York, the corresponding
17.5c in the Colorado River basin is
return on investment in addition to
sufficient to give very satisfactory
cost of making the crop. When, as
at present, the price in New York IS
13c, the corresponding 15.5c in the
Colorado River basin is not satisfac-
tory and only the best located and
best farmed tracts can show a salts
factory return under these conditions.
Present conditions, however, are
clearly abnormal.
Senate document No. 142, p. 81,
lists the ultimately irrigable lands IN
the lower (sub-tropical) Colorado
River basin, including irrigable lands
in Mexico, as 2,02O,000; of which
there were irrigated at the date OF
the report 1922, 698,OOO acres. The
difference, or the potentially irriga-
bic lands is 1,322,O00 acres.
Owing to the fact that the low
water stream flow of the Colorado
River is now completely. used up, with
present demands for more water than
is available at low water, there has
been but little new irrigation since
the date of Senate document No. 142;
in fact some previously irrigated
lands have failed to be farmed.
If the price of cotton were to ad-
vance sufficiently, new production
might ultimately reach 100000
bales. A price of 15c should mean a
new production of 100000 bales an
nually, the figure used herein. If
the present price of 13c should con-
tinue indefinitely, it is questionable
if the new production could ever ex'
coed 100000 bales, but continue
ton of the present price seems i'm
possible.
