THE FIERY CROSS PAGE THREE

The Weekly Digest

Even admitting that Arthur Brisbane usually gums the works in his sublime editorial chaff, he occasionally supplies material for a text or food for reflection. He seems a pretty solid American when he talks like this: "What has the United States to do with deciding what Germany shall pay, how many billions France and (he others shall get? It wasn't our war. It isn't our funeral, or our celebration, and we don't get the money. Somebody ought to tell I'ncle Sam that story about the man that got rich 'by minding his own business'."

It seems to be a settled practice

on the part of Europe to beg America to feed and clothe the European poor. It may be that her lords and potentates are living off the fat of all lands, but that does not matter in the least. The whine is innistent: "Feed our starving ones." Charity is all right it is more than all right; it is Godlike. But begging is an evil and breeds greater -vin Kurone bees too much and

been almost 20,000. At conservative estimates this section now numbers more than 200,000 colored people. Recognizing this as a fertile field for missionary endeavor, the Roman Catholic church is now conducting a

well financed and vigorous campaign to bring Its religion prominently

into this section. Already several Catholic churches have been established in the community. Although the negro, as a whole, by previous experience and training, is Protestant in his faith and affiliations, the effort of Romanism to entrench itself in this Harlem stronghold is vigorous and progressive. Having

the interests of the negro at heart, Protestants will no doubt do all in their power to restrain the noxious

impulses of Romanism. It is said that t.e Federation of Churches of Greater New York Is giving some attention to the situation and will do all in its power to cope with the Catholic advances toward the negro who has shared with the white r.ace all the mental unrest and emotional struggles that have marked the last

WASHINGTON, April 21. Changes

will be made in the enforcement of the national prohibition law after May. This was revealed by a study of the revised regulations of the federal prohibition unit, which constitutes the unit's interpretation of laws and court rulings.

Some brewers will be particularly affected if the unit strenuously enforces the revised regulation. Four years' experience with the prohibition enforcement has brought forth changes like the following:

"The advertisement, sale, etc., of stills, parts of stills, worms or coils, malt, malt extract or syrups, hops, isinglass, fruit juices such as grape mash, dried fruits and fermentable materials as wrell as recipes and

formulas for the manufacture of liquor for use in the home or elsewhere, are prohibited." Sale of Raisins The legal bureau of the unit explained that under this regulation a

grocer who sells raisins, knowing that they are to be used in the manufacture of home brew, can be held liable. The same is true of a dealer selling isinglass, which is used as a clarifying agent. The official explained that successful prosecution for the sale of fermentable beverages, which become intoxicating after the sale had been made, had been difficult for the same reason. The revised regulations further state that the sale of malt extract with hops and clarifier to any per

son other than a holder of a permit Is not permissible, notwithstanding

j the fact that the vendor may furnish the purchaser of such materials with recipes containing a i warning or caution not to do cer- ! tain things, as thereby the product j will develop a high alcoholic con

tent. Conspiracy Prosecution This type of violation, the attorney explained, had usually been prosecuted under a conspiracy clause, since many recipes were sold telling what not to drr; yet the purchasers went ahead and made alco-

The pope didn't attend the dedicatory ceremony at the Knights of Columbus welfare building at Rome. A Hearst headline suggests that "fear of misconstruction" caused the pontiff to cancel arrangements. If It was any sort of fear that caused the pope to alter his intention, we'd like to sec the picture of it. The Vatican is not noted for its "fears of misconstruction." A correspondent who is not a

Klansman, but who can see as far as the: next one, puts several facts on immigration vividly, pertinently, as follows: "They are coming over lit the rate of 30(1.000 per year, on the average. By and by they'll all be here. What then? Shall we have another Italy, another Greece, another Poland, and another Japan within the I'nited States of America? But it would not be the I'nited States then. It would be New Japan. New

Italy. New Greece, etc., for it so happens that the European and Asiatic j nationals already here have not yet j formed the habit of uniting for any j purpose. Instead of allowing them i to come over in ever-increasing ; numbers and to cart along all of' their old world baggage, could not ' we set up Americanization schools ! for them over there. Let them study i us. understand our governmental i Ideals and find out what it means to become American citizens before i embarking for the new world. It j would aid us immeasurably in main- ; taining our standards of citizenship 1

and it would be a lot less expensive." Ilv way of comment, John Eight Point would like to observe that Klan lefiven is beginning to make even

the non Klansman get busy. It's not that we have to go back to the constitution to find the ideals of a sane democracy, but rather that we must try to catch up with what those old fellows meant when they Knid, "That to secure these rights life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness -governments are instituted among men, deriving their Just powers from the consent of the governed." The grand old principles on which our forefathers staked their all are still a long way ahead of our poor practices, and it's going to take some mighty fast walking to get up to where we ought to be, considering the start we have had and the time we've had to try ourselves out.

Ho that litle deed of kindness to your brother Klansman today. He may be downhearted; cheer him up. He may think the price of lifetime service to bis God and country comes too high ; show him that It does not. Be the rainbow that drives away the clouds of storm and promises the

quiet that comes after the thunder and lightning. You are bound to your brother by sacred bonds. You know how these bonds hold and the symbols behind all bonds. Pass on the service of good cheer, and show that In union there Is always trength succor, service and relief. Between the Harlem river and 143d street Is the largest community of negroes In the world. No other city, either In Europe or America, hag so large a negro section as New York. The census of 1920 gave the number at 160,000. Probably the annual gain In the last four years has

viewpoint dominates at our consulates abroad. You"', find Catholic stenographers, clerks and secretaries holding down Jobs. What are you going to do about this, Klans-men?

In each one of the thousands of Klan lodges we have a rendezvous for righteousness. But we must turn apathy into action. The whole world faceB a new crisis, and Amer

ica and her loyalists must be ready to bring the crisis to a successful termination. Our government must j contribute to the world a nation in j which there is a minimum of illit- j eracy, poverty, and crime. The i

righteous purposo of the Klan is clear.

Klansmen should teach each other a truth which is almost axiomatic with statisticians immigration has not increased the population of America; It has only displaced older races by later races. Social and economic changes act upon population. Hold social and

economic conditions as they are and

the population will increase

year to year. Let social and economic conditions change and the population will decrease. This tact has been noted by great statisticians.

Tne revised regulations state that after May 1 authorized manufacturers of alcohol and other liquors, wholesale druggists and importers of wine may orally solicit orders and furnish price lists to persons qualified Under the act, but that the advertising of wines for sacramental purposes or similar religions rites, by printed announcements in religions papers or otherwise, is not permitted.

ST. LOUIS, April 19.- Bertrand

Russell, English pacifist, speaking

before an audience which filled Sheldon Memorial Tuesday night, undertook to tell "Why Men Fight."

Concrete conclusions of the speaker were that public ownership of raw materials, natural monopolies

and agencies of transportation is a necessary step toward peace, and that large corporations, using the armies and navies of their nations, at the people's expense, to defend their interests abroad, are breeders of war.

Causes for war may be found under heads of politics, economics and social psychology, Russell said, and taking the last subdivision first, he discussed the effects of leadership,

in that leaders find their power increased in war. The kaiser and the czar, for instance, both wanted war, because each thought he could win. Ministers of religion, the speaker said, are surprisingly bellicose, more so than the average man. The Chinese, he remarked, are unable to

see how, in view of the non-resistance teachings of the Sermon on the Mount, Christian nations go to war. But it is not only leaders who desire war, lie continued. The or

dinary man Wants it, or leaders could not drag him into it. "Wre must get men to dislike. war in prospect," he said. "It is not enough to dislike it when it actually comes." National fear was named as a potent cause of war, and international organization, along the line of the original plan of the League of Nations, was mentioned as a means of

removing this fear. Collective hysteria was described as a cause of war, and the speaker cited wartime

news articles and editorial matter as "blasts of unreason," difficult to

understand in re-reading them at this time. He told of the belief in England, in wartime, that the Germans had cut off the hands of many Belgian children. "Watch yourself when you find that you are getting excited," said Russell, who said that while he himself was "not very patriotic," the public feeling in his country had

some effect on him for a time. Education could train people to insist on the truth, he said, but instead, it seems to make falsehood more readily accepted through "collective hysteria" which passes as

patriotism when taught to children. Redividing his subject, Russell said there were rational causes for war, and that some persons sought war for their own advantage, and sometimes obtained such advantage. To deal with war, he said, war-mon

gers must be stopped, or the public must be immunized against them as against disease bacilli. Another subdivision, and he discussed wars of principle, wars of prestige (he Included the SpanishAmerican war among these), and politicians' wars. The formula for the last-named was outlined thus: "The politician tells the voter he

will make him rich and prosperous. The voter gives his vote, but does not get rich, and the politician then tells him that a wicked foreigner is keeping him out of his rights. England, before the war, thought its unemployment was due to Germany. England has unemployment now, though Germany Is not causing it."

McKINLEY PARK, Alaska. Tradition has it that Mount McKinley, the loftiest peak on the American continent, sinks about two feet a year from Its official altitude of

20,300 feet. Resident point out that there is an average of four earthquake shocks a year, and contend that the mountain settles about six inches with each tremor. By way of attempted confirmation they refer to the Aleutian Islands.

According to recent reports from scientific sources, no one can state the location of altitude of many of

the small islands in the Aleutian archipelago. One day an island may appear well above water and the next day it may have vanished. Numerous small islands, including Bogoslov, are reported to have disappeared without a trace, Bogoslov is recalled as the island which suddenly appeared while the crew of

NEW YORK, April 19. More than ?14,000,000 was spent for public recreation last year by cities' In the United States and Canada, according to the Playground and Recreation Association of America, which has Just compiled the returns from a questionnaire on community play. This sum Is more than twice the amount spent for the same purpose ten years ago.

In a total of 680 cities reporting community recreation leadership.

660 conduct 6,591 playgrounds and recreation centers under paid leaders. In 1906, when Theodore Roosevelt and others organized the association, only forty-one citie3 had

playgrounds and recreation centers with paid leaders. 1,200,000 Attend Dally Approximately 1,200,000 was the reported daily average of children and adults at the summer play

grounds of the country in 1923. This

figure is four times greater than the 1913 attendance. The reason for the steadily increasing expenditure for recreation at a time when municipalities are

bent on economy, the association states, is that playgrounds and recreations are recognized as a good investment. Delinquency and crime costs are reduced. The chief of police of Leominster, Mass., says that delinquency cases in Leominster averaged ninety-one a year prior to the organization of community service, the local recreation agency. Since its coming, the number decreased to fifty-three in 1923. Improves School Attendance

In Utica, N. Y Anna D. Rayland, chief probation officer, attributed to the efficiency of playgrounds the fact that not a single child was put

to the supervised play program for the fact that while previously he had had twenty or twenty-five cases of delinquency in his court in a month, in the six months after the playgrounds opened he had only five cases. Topeka, Kas., found that truancy decreased when playgrounds were opened near the schools. De

fiance, O.; Centralia, 111., and other cities reported the practical elimination of mischief and property destruction of boys at hallowe'en, due to the organized community celebrations of the city recreation committees. Many other cities reported de

creases in delinquency, attributed by judges, probation officers and others directly to organized play. Street Accidents Reduced Reports from some of the cities showed that playgrounds had been effective in reducing street accidents to children at play. An example of this was found last summer at Lewiston, Me., where citywide recreational activities were shared in by 118,000 persons, mainly children. Not one death or drowning of a child at play was reported during the , summer. Many other activities reported by cities included the use of athletic

badge tests, community singing.

block parties, dramatics, music mem

ory contests, holiday celebrations, industrial athletics, winter sports, organized hiking, horseshoe tournaments, marble tournaments and art activities.

Krupp Works ,Now Beating: Sword Into False Teeth

Net income of the Illinois Central Railroad Company for 1923 was $15,4807-3, equivalent, after allowance for preferred stock dividends,

to $13.55 earned on the $109,522,300 of common stock" outstanding. This compares with net earnings of $16,089,675, or $14.29 a share, in 1922. Despite the fact that the net income decreased during the year, traffic was the largest in the history of the company, and the gross revenue was $165,626,981, in comparison with $154,860,387 in 1922. This increase was more than offset by an

increase in expenses of $13,299,901, i of which more than 4$7,000,000 was i due to increase in maintenance of ; equipment and right of way". The report also showed that in De-; cember, 1923, the Illinois Central received from the Central of Georgia Railway Company $15,000,000 par: value of its common stock in exchange for a like amount of 6 per ; cent cumulative preferred stock sur- 1 rendered by the Illinois Central for

URGES JAIL TERMS IN DRY LAW PROSECUTION

New Attorney - General Tells Federal Attorneys to Press for More Rigid Penalties

WASHINGTON, April 19 Attorney-General Stone is prepared to insist on more rigid penalties for liquor law violators. He has prepared Instructions to all United 8tates attorneys, it ls said, ordering that they use all "reasonable methods" In pressing for Jail sentences on convictions of prohibition

law violators. The attorney-general believes that

sufficient use has not been made of provisions of the Volstead act providing for jail sentences in case of conviction of a second offense. In many cases, department officials said, the offenders have been allowed their freedom after payment of fines, only to return to bootlegging. Jail sentences for first offenders are optional with the courts, it was explained, but the attorneygeneral holds that United States attorneys can exert Influence in disposition of the cases that should lead to application of more rigorous penalties.

Discretionary Power The physician has discretionary power in some instances. The regulations now say: "In the case of a grave emergency, where great A ffering or loss of life might result from the delay incident to writing upon the proper from of prescription blank or emergency

prescription the full details of the emergency, a physician may write in

lieu thereof the words 'grave emergency' and forward to the director, with a duplicate copy of such emergency prescription, a statement of the details of the emergency." This proviso ls made, however: "Liquor administered by physicians under this regulation must, not be furnished to the patients under conditions constituting a sale." Prohibition officials explained that most of the revised regulations had

been written after a study of court decisions, but that juries would decide in the future, as in fhe past, as" to the intent of the law.
