lieve. II, in addition to the analysis,
1t Is shown by medical consensus, that
the claims are false and misleading, the
Government moves TO ban the product.
But difficulty arises under the statute
as now written. The Government must
prove that, in producing and advertising
the medicine, the manufacturer must
have guilty knowledge that the drug
VIII not accomplish what the label says
1t VIII. It Is not difficult, with the aid
OF q bright lawyer, for the drug manu-
facturer to show that he is innocent of
intentional fraud and really had faith
in his nostrum.
DR.. Cullen and Senator Copeland want
an amendment to the law which will
enable the Government 10 suppress q
patent medicine on its merits and to
punish the purveyorS. It is a fayorite
defense Of patent medicine men that
there Is no such thing as q general opin-
ion among the medical profession. 1t
is. indeed, true that in some cases
physicians can be found who refuse to
condemn a medicine. They take the
safe course and declare that it might do
some one some good. While the Gov
eminent consults large numbers Of ply
sicians on the merits of drugs, 1t cannot
possibly cover the entire profession. The
case cannot conceivably be made alb
solutely complete. While it has been
suggested that medical associations take
over this work, DR.. Cullen points out
that he cannot delegate his powers.
There might well be excellent reasons
for not doing so. 1t Is not unknown for
scientific bodies to be controlled by
cliques. The Government must make
Independent investigations.
Frowns on False Promises.
The chief point of the pending
amendment to the drug protection law
deals with the question OF the purveyor's
guilty knowledge. The Government will
not be required to prove such knowl-
edge, if the bill passes; it merely will
have to show that the drug offered is
not, in fact, what it is labeled to be
and that medical consensus does not
agree that it will effect the cures
claimed for it. This viii greatly sim
pity procedure and make easier the
suppression Of misleading claims.
1t has been urged against drug con-
public the right Of self -medication.
This is refuted by the Government OH
Gals. Any one, it Is claimed, who wants
to take the chance Is entirely at liberty
to make experiments with medicines
and II he thinks ne can cure cancer
by amounting an ak with salve and
placing it under the patients bed, he IS
free to do SO. But no drug manufac-
turer should be permitted to make
promises on label to raise false hopes
in the patients breast. He should be
required to state precisely what the
medicine contains If the patient wants
to try that particular strange mixture he
is as welcome to do so as to exercise
freedom of worhip. But not under false
colors. And it is particularly insisted
by the Government authorities that the
label should indicate whether an in
gredient is habit-forming.
The drug control office has a sort Of
museum consisting of death certificates
made for them.

Depression and Negro Education.

In an interview which appears in
todays Star DR.. Ambrose Caliver,
senior specialist in the education of
Negroes for the United States once
Of Education, chooses compelling ex-
! ample to illustrate the extent of the
double blow which the depression has
dealt to Negro education. Where a
man has the bare necessities Of life
and you take quarter of what he has
away from him you are striking him a
far harder blow than when you take
away fourth Of the goods of the man
who has plenty" This is what has
happened to Negro education. which,
DR.. Caliver points out, made its great
est gains since the war. These gains
may have been slight, in so far as sp-
proach toward reasonably attainable
goal is concerned. But they were gains.
The fear now is that the curtailment
OF fund; available for support Of colored
schools will wipe them out. The lozs of
a little when that little represents G.
Is harder to bear than the .oss of q
fraction of the whole.
The figures which DR.. Caliver cites
to indicate TIRE extent of loss in physi-
cal support Of colored schools represent
only part of what this loss really
means. Advanced leaders, such as those
represented In TIRE recent meeting In
Washington Of the Association for the
Study Of Negro Life and H story, have
emphasized their belief that an I'M
portant part of facilitating and as
sisting the advancement of the colored
race lies In the field Of cultural de-
velopment; teaching the Negro the
history Of his background and aiding
him In the practical utilization Of quail
tiles and characteristics which are part
Of his heritage. In the looping of funds
available for schools, both colored and
white, the procedure has generally been
to dispense with what the authorities
conceive as the non-essentials, and in
this machine age" such things as
music, art, physical training, health
and vocational education have been
the first to so, as they represent the
most recent additions. This loss has
been suffered along with the shorten
ing of school terms, the abandonment
Of an appalling number OF schools, the
reduction of teaching personnel and,
in many of the communities where the
schools remain, large. unwieldy classes,
where anything approaching personal
instruction is cut Of the question.
Like many other steps associated with
this period of general distress, such re-
trenchments as those which are Grip
pling the colo-ed schools are economies
in name only. AS DR.. Caliver points out,
the inevitable result is to retard the
Negroes economic development and. de-
nying him the right and the oppor-
tunity to work out his own salvation.
place him as a burden on the state.
The more intelligent solution of an in
tricate problem might lie in the ex-
tension Of Federal aid-as is being done
in SO many other cases-to Negro educa-
ton in those communities which have
been unable to meet the cost unas-
sisted.

Seventy Years Ago.

Seventy years ego today Abraham
Lincoln pronounced his Gettysburg ad-
| dress. Some still are living who heard
him speak, and they can have no more
precious memory. The mar.yred Presi-
dents words have become a world clas-
sic, their immortality guaranteed by
their majestic but simple beauty. Spok-
en- for a particular moment, intended to
rerve but an instsnss's need. the ncbil-
ity Of both the thought and the utter
ance was so compelling that multitudes
far removed from the original occasion
feel the power Of the message and re-
spond to its appeal. No other Grafton
of modern times has been its equal 1t
stands alone, an unparalleled expression
of the grandeur Of a master spirit, the
elemental splendor Of an Illuminated
soul.
Critics have declared that the text
may be scanned, AMI it frequently has
been printed in the typographical ar
rangement of poetry. To the question
as to the source Of its music, analysts
have replied By citing the Psalms and
Shakespeare, bat it is not exclusively a
mechanical trick Of rhythm Which gives
it its mystic character of linpid and
harmonious prose. In point of fact,
the ADDRESS may be explained only In
terms of aspiration It is like f-ag-
ment of opaIescent SKY, flash of climb
ing flame, scrap of verdant wind-swept
hillside, or mighty wave Of the illinit-
able seat Is dynamic as these things
are, natural ana authentic as the uni
verse is Lincoln shared with the
Psalmist ana the Bard of Avon the in
stinctive capacity, judgment and char
ity which are aspects of divinity, yet
are deeply human
The address, then, must have come
out of the infinite, and it was america
that spoke at Gettysburg So viewed,
the Emancipator's phrases signify the
dedication not merely of a battlefield
but of a Nation. Conservation is in
them. patriotism and loyalty SHINE from
them, and love and mercy reach out
through them to touch the heart of
mankind
One by one, in an unending sequence,
the curtains of the ages will fall. and
Lincoln and his vision will remain.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Chrysanthemum.
Again you greet us, thing of toussled
glory,
The final chapter of the Summer story
With hints Of snow to come
You are no blossom, manicured and
fused up,
But debonalr, go-as-you- please and
mussed up,
Oh, gay Chrysanthemumi
on, blossom with pedigree historic.
You have produced of phrases meta
phoric
A formidable sum:
We've called you cold slaw," in our
jocund rawlings.
A tangled ball of yarn, a bunch of shay
ings.
You seemed, Chrysanthemum.
The modest violet long since has faded.
Ene blighted rosebud pines away un-
shaded
Where bees once loved to hum.
But you. Though skies look down with
sullen sneering,
Are on the job, with jaunty perseyering.
Old friend Ch-ysan.hamum.

I'VE feel Comrade Gusev's death
will be a great loss to the revolu-

states the resolutiop. Especially we
workers and Communist Party men,
bers feel the loss because comrade
Gusev was much interested in the re-

conversation with Comrade GuseV
some years ago. At the time he ex-
pressed himself that probably the
first Communist administration in
the United States will be elected in
