Purity of the Proud

"A ND so say If the south wants
4 A racial purity it must increase
the ego of the Negro woman. Now
l ask you is that way in which to
encourage chastity sufficient to repel
the advances of lewd white menq
For there are such even in the
south.
Horrible penalties are visited upon
the Negro who dares to cross the
color line, but there is lenience for
the white man who makes the same
journey.
If there is to be a true passion
Tor racial purity it must come from
both sides. 1t is not possible to tell
a person in all sorts of ways that he
Is inferior and at the same time as
sure him that he ought to be salts
fled with the condition into which
1t has pleased God to call him.
1 know that in certain southern
libraries books written by Negroes
are not acceptable. Could any,
thing be more silly and short-sigl1t-
ed on the part, of the lily-white
faction? Instead, the southern
Nordic should be eager to hail every
display Of Negro genius. Raise up
the Negro from an enforced hurnil-
ity and he may in time be not onlv
content but eager to accept segre-
cation.

Heart F'1ncti0nsaS Pump
No. 26Q

A LII through life the heart continues to beat Life
4 n is over when it stops. The rate of the heart
beat varies with the age of the person and his activity
at the moment but for adults it is usually between
seventy and eighty times a minute.
The rate increases during violent exercise.
The heart is pump which keeps the blood in cir
culation. The circulation of the blood was discov-
cred by William Harvey the great British anatomst
who was born in 1873
The heart is divided into chambers known as the
aurices and the ventricles.
Until the time of Harvey, the circulatory system
was almost entirely misunderstood.
1t known that there were two sets of conduits
for the blood the arteries and the veins. 1t was also
known that the veins contained blood which was
bright scarlet in color while the blood in the arteries
had darker color.
1t was thought. however that the left side of the
heart sent the bright blood into the arteries while
the right side sent she darker blood into the veins
Harvey showed that the blood flowed into the ar
teries from the left side of the heart. The blood
makes it way through the tiny capllaries from the
arteries into the veins.
The veins carry it back to the right side of the
heart.
The blood absorbs oxygen il the lungs. The blood
which is pumped out of the heart into the arteries is
bright scarlet because it contains oxygen.
AS the blood circuates through the tissues of the
body it gives up the oxygen and absorbs carbon di-
oxide, waste product from the tissues This accounts
for the duh color Of the blood which Is returned to
the heart by the veins.
But this blood is next pumped to the lungs where it
absorbS new supply Of oxygen. It then returns to
the heart ready for another Journey through the

The Princes Tour


Earoun Al Raschid learned many things In MS
midnight prowings about Bagdad, things which
ruler never can learn on his throne. Incognito opens
many doors.
The Prince of Wales does well to have personal
look at starvation in the British mining fields No
accounts of starvation are convincing as per-
sonal look There are times when one wishes owners
OF mining properties, in the United States oil
America would take a personal look.
We remember once when there was strike
among the textile workers in Lawrence, Mass, and
the police were trying to prevent starving parents
from sending away the children A United States
senator went up and took personal look at con-
ditiens The effect was such no mere description
would have produced. 1t was healthful effect.
The prince cannot, by waving wand, relieve
starvation amorg the mine workers If he gave all
his own and his fathers personal fortune it would
not restore prosperity to the mine industry. But
the prince can do real service to humanity by
forcing the spotlight which follows him to disclose
these pictures of misery.
BY taking thought. nation may begin to alter
the werst of economic conditions. If the Baldwins
VIII not take thought, the MacDonalds and the
snowdens may. If the tories find no way out,
perhaps the liberals and the laborites can.

Enforcement Funds
senator's.

There is no real disagreement between house
and senate on the question of increased funds for
prohibition enforcement majority in both
branches insists honest and effective enforcement
and feels that existing conditions be improved.
But the house believes that an additional expen-
diture of $24000000 of the taxpayers money should
not be sanctioned for any purpose in hasty and
haphazard manner. 1t is to be hoped that the SEN
ate will recede from its position and adopt the pro-
cedure dictated by prudence and custom.
The senate's plan is obviously unsatisfactory and
violative Of all business principles It proposes TO
turn $240oOO0O of public funds to be spent at
the direction CT one individual when and if he finds
that appropriations already made are insufficient
The house prefers to await survey of the govern
ments needs, as well as the broader survey of law
enforcement proposed by the President-elect.
The alignment of vets and dry In both houses
reveals that politics rather than devotion to law
forcement inspires the present insistenee on i'm
mediate extra appropriations.
We do not believe that the American people, vets
and drys, subscribe to such policy in the expendi
tiire of their money. No individual or firm would
tie up much money without proper information
concerning its use.

you would know whether life is

UtiIitY Laws

That many Of the laws pending before the legls-
lature in respect to utility regulation possess merit
beyond question.
That few of them viii pass is more than doubtful
The utilities knowing what they want. have
group Of lobbyists who hobnob with the lonesome
awmaksr the evening and persuade him that the
poor utilities are really just outside the poorhouse anc
that any law that would relieve the people might send
them the hill.
One of the meritorious measures which the utill-
ties are fighting would take the publicly-owned
utilities away from the public service regulation.
If the utility commission really represented the
people, as it is supposed to. this law would not be
necessary
Some cities own their electric light plants. Some
have water systems. They can control and regulate
their own business by electlng capable city officials
When the state interferes in the administration
Of the utilities it does so order to prevent the peo-
pie from getting the most capable administration
They always step in when these plants become most
efficient.
The truth is that the insult monopoly, which is
rapidly taking government as well as electricity
does not like the constant comparison between eff
cent municipal plants giving low COST and his own
system
His agents shudder when they see the things that
are happening in municipal plants such as one in
Richmond.
One of the other measures which should pass would
put holding companies under the utility commission
The water baron Of indianapolis DISCUSSES some OF his
own operations through his Delaware corporation
which owns the stock of the company.
The public does not get view of the real manage
ment as long as corporations which hold the STOCK
of utilities are not under public control
But even if these laws are passed the people will
get little relief as long as majority of the commits
soners are utility minded"
Just what that means is interpreted in huge bur-
dens upon the public. No law for the protection OF
the people viii be of any benefit if the commission Is
named by the utility interests.
Whenever any member of the commission renders
decision which the utilities do not like his term of
Office has in the past been of brief Duration The
utilities find ways of getting to Governors.
1t would be unfortunate for the people for the
next four years If the recently named policy man
for insult should come into control of the public utility
commission through his boyhood friendship for the
Governor.
The fact that ne was rapidly promoted by insult
after the election Of Governor Leslie should warn the
Governor that there is necessity of special caution In
naming utility commissioners. Those who have been
kind to the insults in the past ought to retire. The
men who have shown independence should be retained
unless the state of Indiana is to become province IN
the insult empire.
To pass good laws is highly important. To get
men with some regard for the rights OF the people TO
enforce these laws is even more important

which senators voted against their confirmation. Aside
from the fact that the President already gets record
of the secret roll calls on nominations, and thus is in
position to punish such opposition senators, Senator
Norris made the real answer to Bingham
ANY who is not willing to assume that re-
sponsbity ought not to be in the senate. We ought
not to hide actions fer fear some enc may take
revenge on us"
If there is any excuse for these secret executive
sessions except to poltia deals that has
not been stated The people properly suspicious of
any senate combinations OF public officials which can
not stand open doors and light.
We hope the United Press, which published the
secret senate vote on the confirmation of the insult
attorney, Roy O. West secretary of the interior will
repeat it's public service We hope senators will
tnue to try to call up the reform resolution in this
and every session until the anchronism is abolished
For this involves the whole issue of popular con-
troll of government Secret debate and voting is as
dangerous to public interest it is humiating to
senators.

They have killed the resolution to Americanize the
senate by eliminating secret sessions. But like the
black cat the issue will back to haunt the SEN
ate until these hrsh-hush proceedings abolished
OF course the Jones reform resolution was not killed
outright Yesterday That would not have been posi-
bile Most of the senator's sensitive to public
opinon to vote openly against the reform 1t simply
was sdetracked by legislative maneuvering in such a
wav that it has little if any chance of coming up
again at this session, much less of being acted on
favorably.
Senator Curtis, who soon is to be inaugurated, as
Vice-President, is the man who blocked action yes
.erdav His original plan was to commit the reform
tn the rules committee of which he is chairman. But
when that move was shown up by the reform group,
Curtis was satisfied to push the resolution out OF its
privileged calendar position which just as effec-
tive in this crowded short session to inter it in
committee.
Curiously President Dawes, who is conSeIva-
tive on practically every issue but change of senate
rules had brought the Jones reform resolution close
70 victory by ruling that only majority vote nee
esary for passage Hence Curtis interviewed just in
time.
All that the Jones resolution does is to require a
two-thrs vote to put the senate into secret session.
What Is so revolutionary about that? An adequate
answer can not be found in the debate on the resou-
ton.
About the only defense Of the present secrecy sys-
TEN was that Of Senator Bingham. who iamented that
sxscutive officials would punish senators tnsy knew

- HEALTH SERVICE -----
Foreign Bodies Found in Head, Lungs

Another soldier had certificate
stating that a piece of shrapnel was
in his right lung, and the frag-
ment was found in his hip.
In three cases pieces of shell were
found by the X-Ray to be within
the heart, where they moved about
constantly with the motion of the
blood.
Examination of one of the soldiers
with a piece of shell in the heart
one year later indicated that the
piece of metal had become anchored.
None of the three men with pieces
of shell in the heart had any idea
of the presence the foreign sub
stance, nor did it seem to disconl-
mode them in any way.
Such Investigations are an indi-
cation Of the great resistance of the
human body to disturbances OF
various sorts.
Were it not for this fact, the
amount of illness and death would
be far greater than it is.

Why They Live Long

ID ETURNING to Childs and his
m attempt to popularize a vege-
tartan diet, he is just one more of
that vast multitude of human be-
ings who believe that king life, or
good health depends on some, par
ticular diet, habit or attitude of
mind.
An Indian, who claimed to have
attained the age of 1877 not SO long
ago, said that he attributed his long
life to the fact that he had never
sat in chair, or slept in a bed.
New comes Congressman Charles
M. Stednaan of North Carolina
claiming that he is able to celebrate
his eighty-eighth birthday in good
condition because he has bathed
two or three times a day and
washed his face ten times for most
of his life, though not denying that
'.the providence of God" may have
helped.

IND you see where the Hohenzol-
~ erns had a fight at Doom,
when they assembled to celebrate
the kaiser's birthday?
The kaiser's second wife and his
daughter in-laW - both 'in-laWs"
which is a lot of dynamite, you
know, mixed over a quarrel as to
which is the head of the house.
1t wouldn't be half so foolish ii
the Eiohenzellerns had a house, but
they haven't. There isn't anything
left, but the foundation and part
of the summer kitchen. It was
blown I'm by the artillery OF the
Allies.
But the old royal, social stuff per-
sists.
Both of the ladies wanted to sit
next to the kaiser, but you and 1
would much rather have sat by the
kraut and pigs knuckles.
y y
The upshot of it was that the
kaiser's second wife went to bed and
covered up her head and refused to
come down-even for pie!
It was quite an international
complication, or would have been in
the old days when the Hehenzoll-
erns we're on the throne instead of
on the scrap pile.
From all we've seen of this crowd
they would be wonderful neighborSl
This new dictator of Egypt an

Business Republics

NOTHING illustrates the democ-
4 rization of industry like the
way big boys turn to politics when
they want to get, or retain control
of some corporation.
Childs is out after proxies to
clinch his victory at the stockhold-
erS meeting which will take place
March Z.
In the same way Rockefeller is
out after proxies with which to
GUST Colonel Stewart when the
stockholders of the Standard Oil
Co., of Indiana meet on the same
day, and Colonel Stewart is out
after proxies with which to save
his job.
Most of our major corporations
are getting too big for any one man,
or even small group of men to
control through stock ownership,
which means that they have evolved
from dollar despotisns of ecoponic
republics.

Cassandra

In ancienC days lady named CaSsandra made
herself unpopular by running about the city of Troy
telling everybody that the city was to be visited
by very hard luck.
There just had been an election in Troy. con-
Servative president had been elected the stock
ket booming The federal reserve board was
lending spectators money at low rates of interest
and nobody believed Cassandra.
Tt seems that Cassandra, who was daughter of
Pram, of Priam & Co.. Inca was very good looking,
and had attracted the attention of Apollo AS mark
of his favor, Apollo endowed Cassandra with powers
of prophecy. She could tell even when the stock
market going to break.
But one day Cassie was pettish and Apollo got
peeved SO he did another miracle over her, and de-
creed that although Cassandra still should retain her
gift of second sight, nobody to believe any of her
predictions.
So what good does it do for H. Parker Willis and
other able authorities on banking to tell the bankers
that stock market which is selling on the basis of
per cent returns can not be a healthy market and
something dire may happen
The CasSandra persists.
