A LEGIONNAIRE REPORTS
Editor Gets Florida Nut

Isaac L. Moore, Jr., militant
member of the Johnnie Baker Post
No. 291, accompanied his comrades
Of the American Legion to the
convention held in Miami, Florida.
He returned home this week tell
ing of the various adventures met
in his contacts with the southern
ers. Moore carried with him to the
southern city his valiant disregard
for the conventions established by
that section, and found this cou-
rageous course the best possible de-
Tense against unpleasant expert
ences. The stories of his adven-
lures were most interesting, but
the most valued, to We editor, was
a cocoanut in its original wrap
ping, taken directly from Flor
ida tree. This memente, which,
they say, the monkeys of the state
are able easily to open, We editor
will find necessary to use an ak
to accomplish the same result. #
indeed we came from the monkeys,
we surely lost something in the de-
scent.

Russian Hangman Dead

Phihpieff, for several years off,
cial hangman of Russia, died In
poverty in a small village In the
Ukraine, according to reports from
Riga, Latvia. During his term OF
office he executed 937 persons, 17S
during the reign of the late car
and 759 during the three years of
Bolshevik rule from 1917 to 1920.
His nerve gave way and he was
obliged to retire, although still a
comparatively young man. Phil
ipieff was considerate to the per-
sons he was ordered to hang, and
he kept a careful record of every
execution. Against each victims
name he added notes describing his
bearing when faced with death.

Chinese Official Sells
Right to Print Money

A novel method of raising money
is reported by a southern CORE
spondent on the basis Of tidings
from Hamkang, Henghua, says the
United Press.
There the magistrate, If this tale
Is correct, will permit shop, or
other business concerns, to print its
own banknotes If 100 silver dollars
are first handed over to the magis-
trate.
All Corners are accommodated, so
long as they have 100 silver dollars
to put on the line. Most firms are
allowed to put up unlimited
amounts, In all denominations, with
no question Of backing.
In order to support his clients,
the magistrate threatens the death
penalty in the event that anyone
refuses to accept any note issue.
One merchant tested the decree.
His head now decorates the civ
gate.

Health and

By DR.. w. D. Brown
MORPHINE ADDICTION

There is much loose thinking
concerning drug addiction. De-
rivatives of opium and cocaine
are commonly spoken of as "dope." "
However, these drugs have an i'm
portant place in medicine. Opium
and derivatives, such as morphine
and heroin, are used frequently to
alleviate pain, to decrease respira-
ton, to lessen nervous irritabiity
before operation, to decrease per-
istalsis of intestines, to stop par
oxysmal cough. In fact, without
these drugs many pathological
conditions of the body would be
fatal. Cocaine is used only as a
local anesthetic preliminary to
treatment or operation. There is
really no use now for cocaine as
there are many synthetic drugs on
the market which are better and
less dangerous than cocaine.
The question is continually
asked, "Does a physician cause his
patient to become morphine ad-
dict by the use of morphine dur
ing an illness?" Of course, the an
swer is "No." A study of this
problem shows that habit forma-
ton is result of social custom.
The pleasure users" wish to es-
cape from the grim realities of
everyday life. Their lives are so
miserable that enjoyment is at
tanned only by dulling their senses
to mental pain. Once the habit is
formed, the habitue will go to any
means to obtain the drug. Their
entire personality is changed.
Nothing they say can be depended
upon. Since the cost of the drug
through illegitimate channels is
high, sooner or later their money
is exhausted, and, in desperation,
they turn to the Federal Govern
ment for aid.
AS a "stool pigeon" the habitue
gets money and supposedly assists
in stamping out this problem of
addiction. What actually happens
is that he becomes cog in the
machine of graft for which the
taxpayers are taxed still further.
There is no real effort being made
to stop morphine addiction. A mild
suppression only is wanted. An
example is often made of some in
experienced physician who, usually
in good faith, is trying to relieve
some malingerer from a gallblad-
der collie or a Dietl's crisis.
The lesson to the individual is
Don't let anyone but a physician
give you medicine for the relief of
pain by hypodermic injection. Do
not let some "friend" start you in
nocently into use of morphine by
telling you that it is harmless just
this once, for most habits have
started in this manner.

HERE and
THERE
By W. M. Smith.

Ira Dea Reid, speaking before
a great crowd at Phyllis Wheatley
at its tenth anniversary celebra-
ton, drew a rather gloomy picture
of the status of the Negro in the
Recovery measures now engaging
the attention of the administration
and the country.
Because Mr.. Reid used the very
finest of English and spoke rapidly
and without hesitation, the impli-
cations of all he said did not fully
reach all his hearers. After a
careful review in my own mind of
the things Mr.. Reid said, I come
to the conclusion that he intended
to declare that: the Negro has not
benefited from any of the recov-
cry measures; that from the Presi-
dent on down., there has been a
disposition on the part of those
charged with the Interpretation of
these measures to accept the idea
of differential both in the pay al
lotted to Negroes and in the de-
gree in which this group shall
benefit from the relief offered.
Mr.. Reid also called attention to
the efforts of those within the
American Federation of Labor to
keep the Negro outside the pale.
The lack of sympathy in the pas
sage of a National Anti-Lynch
law; the general trend in govern
ment and in the thinking of the
major group to force the Negro to
accept lower status in economic,
health, education and all other
matters affecting his standing and
growth as citizen.
Time did not permit the speaker
to go very deeply into these
things nor to submit a program
by which the Negro should en-
deavor to guide his future actions.
Perhaps it was not necessary in
either case. We can admire his
frankness and the courage that in
duced him to speak as he did be-
fore an audience composed large
ly of white persons.
We have long held the suspicion
that the Home Owners Loan Act,
among others, has not always been
fairly administered; we have long
known that in the south, the home
of the great majority of our group,
the Negro has been Disseminated
against in the matter of wages,
forced to accept a differential, or
go without work; has received the
short end of relief; has suffered
as a tenant farmer, losing much
of what he formerly had rather
than prOfting from the govern
ment's bounty for plowed under
cotton, and that the sentiment of
the country, as shown by its high
est officials and the great major
ity of it's citizens and the union
lied labOrers, show conclusively
the need he faces of working out
his own salvation.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Reid in his con-
illusions made this thought crystal
clear, it matters but little if the
bulk of what he said was not per-
fectly understood.
If we realize, as he intended we
should, that the Negro stands very
much alone; that he suffers much
from the lack of the help he should
receive; and, that for that help he
must look largely to himself, then
shall we realize, too, the impera-
tive need for all of us to cling
closer together, to support more
consistently the organizations we
now have of our own, working for
our advancement; to be more spar
ing of our criticisms, especially of
those whom we acknowledge as
