OLD lister TO BE.


Oar ulster to be time you know
When folks just join'd de church, -
Dey cared for sick as best dey could,
And dat won't very much.
Of course de church must stand ahead;
But listen what say:
You otter take both sides along,
For de Afros is got de day.
It ulster be when some one die
Dey halter beat sweep,
few would halter wash and shroud
De rest stand off and peep.
But now Jest let de big bell toll,
Crowds come from ever way
An Afro member is dead -
And dat lodge gets Gle day.
Dat painted box is out of date;
No wagon haus our dead.
And when you sick committees come,
Dey bring dat daily bread.
Yes we have caskets finest sort,
And tombstones at our sway,
SO you Jest we'll ter come on cross
For de Afros got de day. =
You straight life folks wild policies,
Dis amt your time ter vote
Now don't think hard we work our side,
You paddle your own boat.
Dere's many person could been lived
Now melting in de clay
For dey had no lodge to for dem,
For de Afros is got Gle day.
You need not say save up cash :
And dat will bury me,
For time you pay your nurse and cook,
And dat big doctors fee.
Your socaled friends will leave you, bud,
Jest naked jay.
We take your application now,
For de Afros is got de day.
4s
Eff you don't believe we keep word,
Join and den you die,
And let your hant stand off piece,
And crowdng by.
Your spirit, bud, would halter smile,
So watch, as we'll as pray,
We've said enough you all know we'll
For de Afros got de day.

This false propaganda is also working hardship upon
all of Baptist Sunday Schools by making it necessary
for the Publishing House raise the price of literature
Many schools of weak UNCONVENTIONAL pride will thereby be
driven other publishing houses for cheaper literature
1t is a wekncwn fact that many of religious leaders,
including pastors and superintendent have not developed
consciousness and Baptist faith sufficient to look to their
Publishing Houses for literature for their school, and
not very much is required to drive them from US.
This dangerous propaganda not only making it hard
for DR. A. NJ Townsend but hard for the entire denomna

FAILURE AWAITS YET PENSION
BILL DESPITE PASSAGE BY HOUSE
HARRY K. THAW

Despite its overwhelming pas
sage in the House, Administration
leaders today predicted failure for
the johnson veterans relief bill.
Characterizing it in direct oppo-
sition to the warning Of President
Hoover that Congress was spend
ing too much money. they asserted
II the bill ever reached the PreSi-
dents desk he would veto it. They
declared its operation would entail
an expense of between $500, 000, coo
and $4O0, 000,O annually.
The House, however, passed the
bill, 324 to 40, on q record roll
call, riding rough shod over the
Republican leaders who con-
demned it-aS extravagant and as
q measure which would not bring
the relief for which it was de-
signed.
Under the measure as passed,
the major portion Of the operation
cost would go to carry. out the
modified Rankin amendment, pro-
viding for compensation for 10 per
cent disability of all veterans
where the disability became APP
parent before January /, 1890.
AS originally introduced and APP
proved by the House veterans COM
mittee, compensation was provided
for 10 per cent disability which be-
came apparent before January /,

 After an investigation by Dr. w H. Chase of Cordova, Chairman of the Alaska Game Commission the Kodiak brown bear that maul- ed Mike Kalmakoff at Kanatak has tbeen exonerated of blame. The bear,~sa mother, followed by her two, cubs, ran from Kalmakoff when she first saw him with his companion Nicoli Ruth. The men pursued to catch one of the cubs, which could not keep up with the mother. When Kalmakoff was close to one of the cubs, the moth- CT turned and rushed at him. She mauled and clawed him an instant and. then, evidently frightened by his screams, left him. She hastened away with her cubs. The injured man was taken to the hospital at Kodiak. He is recovering from his wounds.

WASHINGTON. Oct 6. Sen. Thomas Walsh of Montana must have chuckled silently when he read in the papers that Louis Cramton of Michigan had been de- feated in his effort to keep his seat in the House.
 Senator Walsh is having the po- litical battle of his life to hold his seat in the Senate. For that req son probably he is able to appre- ciate the situation all the more.
 Walsh and Cramton got mixed up in a feud at the close of the last Congress
 The latter, as Chairman of the subcommittee on appropriations in the House, succeeded in getting through that body an amendment to the interior appropriations bill that construction of road through the Glacier national park in Mon- tana be held up until private own CTS either sell their property or permit the government to condemn it.
 Walsh owns a summer home in this area.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-An 80-page mimeograph report of the Internal Revenue Bureau says that statements made that consumption of alcoholic bever- ages is greater today than prior to the adoption of the Eigh- teenth Amendment are unwar- ranted. The report says it ap- pears that the consumption of alcoholic liquor in the United States is growing less year by year.

Not Consulted

What Walsh objected to-and he fought with the tenacity of a bull dog on the floor of the Senate was that Cramton consulted neither him nor Senator Wheeler, his col league, about the thing.
 The Michigander is recognized authority on the question of parks. He has visited most of them, has made a careful study of their needs, and has come to the front in the House whenever this question was up for discussion.
 Added to this, Crampton is a member of that powerful group in the House which guides the expen- diture of public money. and is jeal- ous of the Houses right in such matters.
 Stocky, robust and bespectacled, he fights to the last ditch when aroused. e
 We should get rid of the private holdings in our national parks, , said Crampton, after Walsh had succeeded in getting an amendment through the Senate staying the power of condemnation of such property, "as soon as we can and secure the national parks for the people of the nation.
 Senator Walsh knows that in ownership of home in the Gla- cier national park he has certain area that is his, and the rest of us have what is left"
