DR.. CARVER'S NEW INVENTURE

The latest experiment being conduct
ed by DIR. George w. Carver, the Ne
gro chemist whose fame may assuredly
be called national is with road-build
ing material made of cotton.
However fantastic such a project
may at first seem, the fact remains
that DR.. Carver has perfected products
which, if less sensational, are certainly
as remarkable. The man, whose devo-
ION is genuinely inspiriting has no
respect whatever for the original uses
of any substance he chooses to work
with. One who can make ink from
peanuts is not likely to be baffled by
the difficulties involved in making a
road material from cotton.
his latest research may, indeed, be
one Of the answers to the cotton sur
pulls question, which is not, after all,
ia problem OF purely depression origin.
If Dr.. Carver succeeds, he will make a
contribution to southern welfare Sc
cond only to that of DR.. Herty of Geor-
gia, who claims the discovery of new
use for this sections pine-the making
of newsprint.
The reputation of southern scientists
is steadily and brilliantly increasing.
Dr. Carvers distinction enables the
race of which he is a member to share
in the pride which all of us must feel
in contemplation of southern techno-
logical explorations and achievements.
And another reason is furnished all
of us for being proud of the institution
at Tuskegee. +,

CHICAGO BISHOP ,
DENOUNCES
LYNCHING

Tyler, Tex, Dec %, lamp While
the streets of Beaumont and the roads
Of the section thereabout were still
warm with the tread of the mob which,
in the words of a Texas daily, was
robbed" by the death of its victim,
but later took the dead body from Of
ficers and burned it, Bishop Randall
A. Carter, one of the foremost leaders
of the race, Chicago, spoke out in no I'm
certain terms here Saturday against
lynch law. The Chicago bishop referred
to lynch law and the rule of the mob
as "inimical to the safety of the high
est and the lowest, the most depraved
savagery to which mankind can stoop
that breeds not only anarchy, but is the
precursor of governmental disorgani-
cation, civil instability andd disintegra-
ton"
Bishop Carter comp].mented Pre-
sident Franklin D. Roosevelt for his
utterances a -ainst rolling made before
the Federal Council of Churches and
said, "The only thing lacking now is
that the President bring to bear the
influence of his great office to the end
that those in places of power shall
carry cut their oath of office"
He said: "Lynching when Negroes
or ANYBODY else are the victims is un-
necessary under any circumstances as
we have not yet turned over the me-
ting out of justice to n,obs and hood
l,,rns. Let it be understood that the
C. M. E. Church does not condone the
crime Of rape on the part OF Negroes
let if also be understood that we do
not condone rape on the part OF those
who are not Na-roes as for that.

The Weekly Echo comes with greet
ings to all of its readers and we'll

many blessings that our Heavenly Fa-
Their has bestowed upon us. He has
been good to us; better to us than we
have been to ourselves. During these

the midst of plenty; there are those who
know nothing of want, hardship and
starvation. Whereas, on the other
hand. there are those less fortunate.
Some are hungry, destitute, sick or
afflicted.
Aay we remember them in our pray
~, and in our days of plenty Let u
ren,ember that God loveth the cheerful
eiver and that it is better to Civ than
to receive.

women will be in a hurry, let us De
careful as to how we drive our au'-
omobiles: as to how we cross the street
in front of approaching cars; as 10
how we use firearm. Let us remember
that a life once lost can never be re-
Gained Just one time to live after
death, into judgement. We are not only
to watch ourselves, but we are to
watch the other fellow who may be
careless and unconcerned We wish foi
all MERRY CHRISTMAS AND q
HAPPY NEW YEAR. May Gods
choicest blessings rest upon you ane

The New Farm Relief
Chicago Tribune)

Farmers are in difficulties, as more
Of them are coming to see every day,
largely because of sabertooth taxa
ton. The low prices which prevail
are in part the result OF rate Of
taxation on farms which has forced
the farmers to strain every nerve to
grow as much as possible in order to
meet their tax bills. Overproduction
on the farms, induced by high taxes.
has been accompanied by reduced
buying power in the cities as the re-
suit Of industrial stagnation. Here,
again, ruinouS taxation has been at
work with its characteristic results.
The farm bill now pending in con-
gress makes no frontal attack upon
this basic cause Of the farmers dif-
ficulties. The farmers taxes will be
no less as result OF the passage Of
the bill and neither will the purchas-
Ing power Of the cities be increased.
The bill will raise the price Of food
stuffS by taxing consumers and may
be expected to result, therefore, IN
lessened consumption.
After taxation the chief enemy Of
farm prosperity has been the farm
board. From the day early In 1880
when the farm board started buying

prices has been steadily downward

Never Saw please

One wonders, as he reads Governor
hangers latest message to the North
Dakota delegation in Washington. just
what those gentlemen think upon re-
ceipt Of q communication couched
almost In terms Of command.
It would be particularly interesting
to learn the private reactions Of one
Lynn J. Frazier, senior senator, who
Is due to run for reelection in two
years.
Are his thoughts Of his past expert
ences with the governor or do they
probe into the future?
What must be the reactions Of
Junior Senator Nye when he receives
q ukase which terminates with the
brusque injunction: "see II this can
be remedied Immediately" Somehow
one expects to see added the final
touch Of military command in the
words And report to me at once"
It may be that Senator Nye has
forgotten the huge majority which
returned him to his seat and the
rather obvious fact that Governor
LANCER rode into office on his coat
tails, but it Is doubtful. He must
know In his heart that he contributed
far more to hangers election than
tho latter gave toward his success.
