Try This Tonight

=
 What do yom do when sluggish sys- tenn shows the bowels need help? The best thing yet discovered for this is still a little candy Cascaret. Take one tonight if liver and bowels aren't functioning as they ought. See how quickly bad breath, coated tongue or a bilious, headachy condition is cleared up. No griping or discomfort from Cascarets. The quick, pleasant relief they always bring constipation sufferers is lasting. For Cascarets are made from cascara which doctors say Gctyally strengthens bo1cel mnscIes. So you can take Cascarets as often as needed. 20 million boxes used yearly proves their merit.

Filipinos Pass Law
To Stop Discrimination


MAN1LA.-fCNS)-The house of
representatives have ordered the
city council to pass law against dis
elimination when Representative.
Briones, a negro, was denied admit
lance to an American apart
ment house. The Senate bitterly de-
nounced the invasion of American
race prejudice and declared the
white people could carry on such
practices in their own country and
China, but that it would never be
permitted in the Islands.
The motion to enact anti-discrim-
nation legislation passed unanimous
ly, and so aroused are the Filipinos,
that unless interfered with by Amer
lean imperialism nation law will be
passed making discrimination illegal.
A bill has already been proposed
making discrimination punishable by
a fine of 200 pesos on the first of
Tense and revocation of the license
on the second offense.
The American owners feel very
much incensed with the action of the
Filipino legislature and will probably
take steps to annul this legislation.
They say the action of the legislature
is due to Bolshevik propaganda. The
Soviet courts recently sentenced to
three years in Jail, two American
engineers who discriminated a Ne
gro worker.

Recalling the action of the White

Isn't it about the ratio of lily dis

are opposed to giving colored folk

The incident also gives insight into
the character of the young colored

Lily-White Hoover

The death of Walter Cohen re-
moves the last presidential appointee
holding an important Federal post in
the South.
Mr.. Cohen was comptroller of Gus
toms of the port of New Orleans.
He had held office for twelve years,
with no complaint against him or
his work except that he was colored
When word came to him that Mr..
Hoover planned to remove him from
office, and. although i'll, he came to
Washington to protest, he was adj
vised that the President could wait
until he was dead before filling his
place with lily-white opponent.
Mr.. Cohen was buried Monday,
January 5. Seven days later. Mr..
Hoover sent to the Senate the nom
nation of Charles Cantrell, white.
As he did so, the President cut
another notch in the stock of his
trusty rifle which he has named
"Neero Eliminator." Already he has
cut there notch for Mr.. Ben Davis,
ex-N at ional Committeeman for
Georgia.
One by one Mr.. Hoover stalks his
victims. He fired at Mr.. Perry
Howard, Mississippi National Com
mitteeman, but the latter, though
ousted from his position as special
assistant to the U. S. Attorney Gen
eral in Washington, has managed to
retain the titular leadership in State
politics.
But the President hasn't put his
gun away and the "eliminator" will
yet get Mr.. Howard if he don't

Wants Government
To Pay For Slaves
That Lincoln Freed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-An-
other southerner has decided that
the Negro is his DOGGY man in the
announcement that he intends to in
troduce two measures concerning the
Negro into congress which he him.
self describes as radical.
This gentleman with the Negro on
his mind is Congressman II. A. Green,
Florida Republican.
: The first measure he is consider
ing is one which would require the
United States to reimburse the es-
tates of former slaves owners for
all the slaves who were freed by
the Emancipation Proclamation of
Abraham Lincoln. Mr.. Green has
figured it out that the federal gov
eminent might do so easily and
cheaply.
His figures indicate that the
slaves was four billions of dollars.
Claims for about half of the number
could be made, and when the gov
eminent had finished whiting
down the number and value of the
claims about half of the claims
would have been invalidated. leav-
ing only, small expense item of
about one billion dollars as result
of passage of the measure.
Congressman Green thinks such
law would be just because the
slaves constituted about half the
property values of the south prior
to the war and their freedom re-
suited in the financial ruin of the
section.
Mr.. Green's other radical pro-
posal is measure for appointment
of a commission to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of setting apart terri
tory within or without the United
States for the sole occupation of
Negroes.

A few additional facts: A crowd
OF $500 men and women, some with
children, watched the mob do its
daetardly act.
The sheriff and his deputies made
no effort TO hinder or pursue the
mob after it had accomplished its
hellish purpose.
Within stones throw of the
burning building with its human
torch, company of Missouri Ma
tional Guardsmen was stationed. II
was not called into action.
The Chief of Police was requested
to direct traffic to the execution.

spite the fact that the sheriff, his
deputies and the chief of police
were present and the leaders of the
mob made no effort to conceal their
identity.
Conclusion: President Hoover will
not say anything about law enforce
ment, Secretary Stimson will con.
tinue to write letters to Liberia
about enforced labor. The mob
members will remain high and lead

copal Church and prattle about the
