Georgian, which was at one time said
to have been worth more than a

Large sums are known to have
been lost by Banks in Chicago real

that considerable investment was
made in a 100000 building here, but
due to demands from other direc

not be met and the investment was
lost.
Other investments in Florida and

In New Hospital

COLUMBIA, S.C.-Negro veterans
Of the world war who are sent to the
new United States Veterans Hospital
which was dedicated here last Mon
day, will occupy building to the
right rear according to an an
nouncement made during the dedica-
ton.
This building which will accom-
modate 73 patients. has been set
aside for Negroes and will be man
ned by white physicians and nurses
with Negro orderlies and maids. II
is. however well furnished and
modernly equipped.
Those who have visited the new
plant which was erected at cost
of $1,000 900, expressed the opinion
that in no way did it compare with
the Veterans Bureau Hospital No
81, located at Tuskegee, Alabama,
and supervised by Colonel Joseph II
Ward and an entire Negro staff.
The opening of the local institu
ton with its Negro section, has given
rise to memories of the fight waged
by the National Medical Association,
DR.. Robert r. Motion, and other
leaders of the group throughout the
nation, to employ Negro staff at
the Tuskegee institution. DR.. J. A.
Kenney, at that time medical di-
rector of the John A. Andrews Hos
pital at Tuskegee Institute and the
present editor of the Journal of the
N MA. who was one of the leaders
in the fight for a Negro personnel at
The institution, declared recently that
II the government thought IL ex-
pedient to place hospitals in south
ern states and establish segregated
sections for Negro veterans, that
these sections should be under the
supervision of Negro physicians and
surgeons and nurses.

Junkers and Bankers

It's been some time since I've tried
to settle the troubles of the world
at large. | say "tried" advisedly,
because all the good advice | ever
gave to the world was all for the
cat. Just the same, if the world
had listened to me instead of the
damphools who've been running it
in the last thirty years, the world
would be a heap better off.
A fine example of the dehorned
cattle to whom an irresponsible prov
idence has entrusted the destiny Of
mankind is just now given by Ger
many. After the war, the kulturvolk
had a golden opportunity of getting
rid of its junkers. Ropes were still
plentiful, and but few of the trees
had been sawed down during the hos
~tilities. So if eventually, why not
now? But "Ruhe list des Burgers

first duty of the citizen), as Lands

of elevating these junkers in the
only proper manner, and declaring
their estates state property, they
left them securely at said estates,
with the result that the junkers are
back on the job.

brainless outfit that ever governed

Record of Roosevelt in

CHICAGO-(F.P.)-The labor rec
ord of Franklin d. Roosevelt as
governor of New York was criticized
by Norman Thomas, Socialist can
didate for president, in an address
broadcast over station VIGIL, owned
by the Chicago Federation of Labor.
"Hoover's record" said the So
cialist candidate, "is we'll known and
generally disapproved by workers.
Many of them are so busy hating
him that they swallow Roosevelt on
faith. l have nothing but respect
for Roosevelt as a gentleman. But
against him as a leader and governor
of New York | bring these charges:
Gas governor of New York he did
not make any attempt to correct the
Wall Street abuses which he now
condemns; though he now speaks
for a shorter work week, he has
done nothing to change the condition
existing in the state of zoe, 1000 work
ers who labor seven days a week;
he has refused to call a necessary
special session of the state legisla-
ture to deal with unemployment;
and despite his p~rofessed belief in
regulation Of public utilities he has
permitted the New York utilities to
raise rates without making any eff
fective fight in opposition"
