Glenn Frank Sees Peril
From Centralized Power

Washington, D. C. (ILNs)-Dr.
Glenn Frank, former president of the
University of Wisconsin, told a Ma
tional Press Club audience that "the
right to vote is in danger of becom-
ing mere formality," and that IAN
undue amount of power is centralized
in the federal government"
''The idea that there is no danger
from centralized power as long as the
people retain the right to change adj
ministrations every four years is a
false one" Frank said.

Clio HAS FAILED
In First Major Test, Green
Says

Washington, D. c.. ILNS)-The
strike against the, Republic Steel Cor
poration and other independent steel
companies has been "lost" and the
committee for industrial organiza-
ton has failed to meet its first ma
lor test successfully" President Will
liam Green, of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor said in a stateemnt
issued here.
''The hosts of labor are truly sorry
because of the failure of the costly
experiment and its tragic outcome" !"
President Green added "They regret
that thousands of workers were per-
suaded to sacrifice themselves as vic
Tins of ill-advised and untimely
strikes"
Green said there were outstanding
reasons why the strikes were lost.
The reasons he cited were:
First, only minority of the steel
workers employed were organized
when the strikes were called. Second,
public opinion was aroused because
Of the violent policies pursued by the
CIO in the automobile and steel
industries during the past year" ]"
Public opinion became openly hos
tile" he asserted.
Green declared that the policies of
the CIO have brought the threat Of
repressive legislation against labor
all over the country and that as a re-
suit, the American Federation of La
Dor must intensity its fight against
anti-labor legislation such as compul-
story arbitration, the incorporation of
unions and restrictions on labor's right
to organize and strike.

MOONSHINE SLUMP
Due to Increased Employ.
ment

Basil Fl. Minnich, investigator for
the alcohol tax unit, credited increas-
ed gainful employment in Southern
Ohio yesterday for so per cent de-
crease in the number of illicit whisky
distilleries seized in the district in
the first half Of 1887, compared with
the corresponding period last year.
Minnich said the 21 Investigators
working in 48 counties in the South
ern District of Ohio cpatured 107
stills this year, compared with 204
in the first six months last year.
Operators fail to find the illegal
liquor business profitable" he said,
and many people who formerly op-
Grated stills have gone into other
employment.
Minnish, who has directed presen-
tation of 158 liquor law violation
cases in two federal courts in the
last six months, and heavier penalties
assessed by federal courts since re-
peal also had acted as a deterrent to
the Illegal liquor business.
Prison terms, he said, were 25 per
cent longer and fines were 81 per cent
higher than in 1885.
The bulk of the illicit business in
Southern Ohio, he said, is centered
in Lawrence and scioto counties,
where 154 stills were nabbed last
year In all except these counties,
still seizures showed a decline in 1896.

Intolerance s an msidious evil, hindering the mind, Sitting the soul
and restraining any good natural impulses one may have. 1t creeps
upon a person nawares giving the mind no chance to throw off its
deadenipg influence.
Intolerance invariably goes in an eternal circle 1t results from ig
norance, from non education. A truly educated person, VINO knows
different phases Of The different questions from personal research, IS
not intolerant. But then, completing the vicious circle, an intolerant
person is utterly incapable OF being educated out of bus bigotry by the
very inertia of his self egotsm. He is rriated and impatient at any
effort to bring enightment to his attention because OF his very sats
faction with his narrow mindness.
An intoerant person usually is not conscious Of his narrow mind
ness. and so honestly believes he has full knowledge of both sides OF
the question involved. He thinks he has carefully studied the issues,
both pro and con; but unconscously he lean on the opinions THAT
conincide with his, and puts no faith whatever in any unfavorable
knowledge. + sometimes twiststhe most obsure things by devious ways
to seem to Uphold his conviction or theory, and substantateh his reasoning
which isn't really reasoning; only feeling.
The Negroes, must unfortunately, have been victims of continual
intolerance for a long time. No matter how high some of the represent
atives Of the race may rise, only the worst and lowest characters have
been noticed. For their own protection, the Negroes control the members
of their race so that the unworthy people cannot bring moro suffering
and raise greater barriers of intolerance in the minds of a people whose
self complacency deude them into grave injustces.

Then the room wouldn't hold it,
So the busy tongues rolled it
Til they got it outside.
Then the crowd came across it,
And never once lost it,

Til it reached to the sky, sir,
And frightened the moon;
For she hid her sweet face, sir,
In a veil of cloud lack, sir
At the dreadful d~istrace, sir
That happened at noon.
This lie brought forth others,
Dark sisters and brothers,
And fathers and mothers

And while head long they hurried,
The people, they Hurried,
And troubled and worried,
As lies always do.
And SO, evil bodied

In smoke and in shame.

And hit a sad liar

The Great Emamcipator

A slave il hidden deep in the soul Of every man, whatever his race,
his coor, bis creed, his religion. Mon are slaves to conventions, to fears,
to desires, to habits, to cupitity, to selfatness, to cruelty and to the
numero Gus other vices that anslave the mnd the bodies, and the con.
duct of countless millions.
On February the 1874 all Of the people of the United States, and
many people of other countries, shall revere the memory of Abraham
Lincoln, known the world over as the Great Emancipator.' And prob
ably the reason for which he insisted, worked, and died for the freeing
Of the Negro slaves Of ills country was that he, himself was Il freed
man.
lie was a freedman in that lm ger sense of the word that means he
was 10 slave. He had no petty vices, he fought convention, fear, habit,
pol .hy desire, and most certainly cupidiy, sedshness, and cruelty to
bring about one Of the most noble pieces of work ever performed in the
history of the world. People and conventions said, wait awhile. Stall
off Let the climax Of the slave ehuation come to someone else. Maybe
the solution will come naturally in time" But he forced the issue,
knowing he was competent, and praying for Divine Guidance, until he
achieved the goal Of the realization of other peoples empty dreams.
But mis- labor of love comes to naught when the peoppe he strWed
FOR willingly knowingly. voluntarily, become slaves. They become
slaves to petty vices and crudities, never realizing that while a man Is
free he can accomplish great ends for himself and his people. The men
who would do for others must first free themselves and so fulfill their
obligations to the Great Emancipator' and achieve worthy aims in life.
