Smallpox.
A. e. GUSTAFSON, County Supt.

Smallpox.
There seems to be large number
of cases of some contagious disease
in various parts of the county that
appear to be smallpox. Some cases
are no more severe than chicken pox.
General symptoms are quite similar.
Many are being vaccinated to pre-
vent smallpox. This is a wise pre-
caution. About so children and adults
from school districts SO, 70, 100 and
(Chengwatana township were vac
cinated Friday afternoon at district
SO, Miss Nieboer's school.
We also understand the Hinckley
school pupils have been vaccinated
and vaccinations have been planned
for pupils from rural schools Y, IS,
112, 80, 1O2 and IL, to be given at
the Crosby school district, Miss Ly-
seth'S school,
Miss Marion Krogdahl, the county
nurse, is assisting in all of this work.

sible.

The annual ti-tuberculosis seal
sale is now about to be launched.

A committee of 43O physicians, in
Guiding several professors from Har-
ward and Yale medical schools, have
revolted from the stand taken last
month by the American Medical AS
ISOLATION, when at its national con-
vention it turned down all resolutions
calling for governmental participa-
ton in safeguarding the public health.
The committee holds that ''the health
of the people is direct concern of
the government" Its action indi-
Gates that the high-handed manner
in which the A. Nj. A. is run will
no longer be tolerated.

If the farmers think that the pres
ent Congress will be in great hurry
to pass needed farm legislation, they
may find themselves in for a great
disappointment. Opposition to all
forms of aid, either to farmers or
workers, is fast developing.
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau's speech before the Academy OF
Political Science was not tiny voice
in the wilderness. He spoke for Big
Business and the things that Big
Business is demanding today. TIC
what extent is the Administration
lending these gentlemen an ear?
Morgenthau's proposals are as fol-
lows:
l. Reduce federal spending by cut
ting down unemployment relief, pub
lie works and farm aid.

quiring lower-income people to pay
federal income taxes.
One year ago, the President re-
minded us that one-third of our pop
ulation are ill-clothed, ill-housed and
ill-fed. Does Morgenthau argue that
within the space of one short year
this third are now well-clothed, we'll
housed and well-fed? If not, then
why does he argue that our basic
problem is no longer the same as it
was, and therefore our basic policies
should be reversed?
At present the country is exper-
fencing a sensational rise in relief
applications. Does it make sense for
Morgenthau to say in one part of his
speech that no one must go hungry,
and in another part of his speech
to call for reduction of expenditures
for relief and public works?
AS to farm aid, Morgenthau is
equally slippery. He manages to
avoid direct call for reducing
farm aid, while he plainly indicates
that such reduction is absolutely de-
manded by the circumstances as he
describes them. The hundreds of
thousands of farm tenants will have
something to say to kid-glove farmer
Morgenthau upon this matter.
ReactionarieS who oppose all lib
eral, labor and farm legislation are
now insisting that the federal gov
eminent cut relief, farm aid and pub
lie works. Morgenthau speaks for
that kind of ''millions''-not the mil
lions of American producers and
small businessmen.

car lines in the city of Duluth, to

missioner Harold Atwood, who is
handling the case, has announced
While bumper crops and falling
prices are blamed by some of the
so-called experts" of high finance
and investment gambling for the re-
cent stock market slump, these ex-
perts do not say just why an abun-
dance of farm products should pre-
cipitate a panic in Wall Street.
The logical thought would be that
goods are produced for the consum-
ing public, and that the economic
system should be so built as to ad-
minister to the well-being of the pub
lie. The stock exchange does not
want abundance but scarcity, be-
cause when there is a scarcity of GER
tain goods the price is sure to rise
and with rising prices it is easier
to make large profits.
1t may be noted that the recent
stock market slump was felt in Eu-
rope too, but when the price of stocks
of private profit businesses in the
Scandinavian countries slumped and
| caused severe losses, the price of the
stocks of the cooperatives remained
stable. In those countries the GOODS
are strong enough to exercise con-
troll of their own affairs, and this
stabilizing influence probably helped
to prevent prices of stocks of private
businesses from tumbling still fur

convention of the Illinois Fedora
ton of Labor at LaSalle, ILL.,, was
high in praise this week of the
treatment accorded the Negro de-
legates by Union officials, the con-
vention committee and by Mayor
H. M. Orr of LaSalle.
LaSalle, nationally known be
cause Big Ben clocks are manufact-
ured there, has long been notorious
as the most rabid Jim Crow town
in Illinois, the citizens priding
themselves on the fact that no Me-
gro has ever lived there and they
all obey the read and run" signs
plastered all over the city. Several
years ago, Dave Washington, trav-
cling representative of Tuskegee
Institute, stopped overnight in La
Sale unaware of the Jim Grow
ban, and the next morning he was
summoned before the secretary of
the chamber of commerce and told
to leave the city on the next train

COlOred COP Leaders
Eye Mid Term Meet

Chicago, Nov. 4 (ANP)-Color.
ed Republican leaders of the coun-
try this week learned that plans
for a 1888 mid term convention of
the Republican party are in the
formative stage and that details of
the confab will be ironed out at
the forthcoming Nov. 9th meeting
in Chicago of the National Com
mittee, headed by Chairman John
d. M. Hamilton.
Tho opinion semed prevalent
among many of the colored stand
ardbearers that the 1888 conven-
ton, if called, would resolve itself
into a test of strength between
former Gov. ALI M. Landon, the
party's 1886 presidential candidate
and former President Her5ef
Hoover. 1t is learned here that if
the midterm convention is called.
Mr.. Hoover is anxious to have ad-
opted a plan he has endorsed as
sembling the delegates.
Mr.. Landon, it was said at To
pka, insisted that if the convention
is held the rank and file of the
party should be represented, both
in the convention proper and in the
deliberations Of the committee char
ged with bringing in a report on
poliay. Mr.. Landon conferred here
with National Chairman Hamilton
last Monday, following which Mr..
Landon said:
"Mr. Hamilton came to Topeka
primarily to talk over any action
which might be taken by the Re
publican National Committee at
its meeting on Nov. 9th. Naturally,
we discussed the possible action
that the committee might take,
not only with regard to establish
ing a policy committee to consider
the pertinent questions which are
before the country, but also the
possibility of a conference or a con
vention to consider such expires
sions as a policy committee might
formulate. But before a decicsion is
reached, there are a number of
things that will have to be careful
ly considered We are particular
ly concerned that if the national
COMMITTEES should decide to hold a
convention that the rank and file
should be represented in delibera-
lions, as we'll as in the considera-
ton of any report on behalf of the

fecting labor.
He is a graduate of the Univer
sitv of California, where he ma
jored in Labor Economics. Follow
ing his naturalization from the
University of California, he stud
led Sociology under E. Franklin
Frazier at Fisk university.
Returning to the state of Cali
fornia he became actively engaged
in problems affecting persons in
the various Federal Projects. Sew
alliances were formed for the pro
lection of workers within the Fed
eral set up for the purpose of ele-
waiting the sub normal standards
where persons in these projects
were subjected.
Because of his perseverance in
the field of political, industrial and
social proplems, he was chosen to
head the Oakland Council of the
National Negro Congress, making
p very fine counter position in the
field or organizing a trade union
section of the Congress, which re-
suited in his services being sought
after by the large unions, and from
there to become actively indenti-
fed with the Southern Pacific Din
ing Car, Cooks and Walters unions,
serving in the capacity of vice
chairman and secretary business
manager. He recently attended the
National Negro Congress in Phil
adelphia, and has been given an
extended leave of absence to study
labor and economic problems
throughout the nation.

been elected which is functional on
q national basis could not be ser

He was connected with the first
contract with the powerful South
ern Pacific Railroad company oper
ating in California, for the Dining
Car employees. This was no small
task in view of the fact that so
little had been done in the matter
of trail blazing in his field.
Most people do not realize that
numerically dining car employees
are the largest group of railroad
workers among Negroes. Even lar
ger than the Pullman porters
group, and therefore a definite &c
onomic and political power to be
recognized with. Mr.. Johnson finds
time to take part, amiss all of his
work in the civic, political and &c
onomic life of the entire community
in which he reaches through
his efforts along with other pro
gressive forces.
Mr.. Johnson was made Interna-
tional Representative of the Hotel
and Restaurant Employees Interna
tional Alliance Bartenders' League
of America For Dining Car en-
ployees in the early part of 1887.
A position to which very few Ne
groes achieve in A. F. of L. Unions.
Mr.. Johnson is on a tour at the
present time, in the interest of
Dining Car workers for the pur-
pose of unifying and solidifying
the progress outlined by the gov
eminent of Dining Car employees,
and a national structure for the
purpose of obtaining economic, in
dustrial and political equality and
equal rights of Dining Car and al
lied service workers.
