A story is told of a patriot who was exiled from his native France on account of political convictions. He joined the French army, fought through the world war and was allowed to return to his home. He found what he thought, once was the most beautiful countryside in all the world in desolate ruins. He still thought it was beautiful. He went about in such a joyful mood, his neighbors and friends in the midst of great sorrow inquired the why. He told them to behold the beautiful countryside and nature all about them. The> Replied, “but there is no beautiful countryside. Do you not see our homes and lands have been all laid waste?” He in turn replied, “Ah! beauty depends on the state ot mind of the adorer,—more so than the condition of the subjects of adoration.” It would be a changed world indeed, if this mental conception of beauty was transplanted to the minds of the feminine group who occupy the center of things in the high places of our civilization. A great concern of this group is to array and display themselves, so as to appear beautiful in the popular acceptance of the term. It goes without saying the purpose is largely to attract the masculine group. The styles of the time seemingly connote increasing anticipation of making a physical appeal. But the admir- ' ation of the masculine contingent for the fair sex, which extends only along lines of physical appeal, is only a passing fancy. Many of the fair sex learn this after marriage. And therein, exists one of the many circumstances making the moral problems of our day. As passing time detracts from the masculine appeal of the fair sex, they strive with painful anxiety to preserve their entrancing curves, wrinkless faces, etc. Everything, anything is done to maintain a measure of physical attractiveness. Beauty and youth must be served. Those of the fair sex, who have not,— or who lose their requisites of beauty,—entrancing curves, wrinkless faces, etc., sometimes abandon the situation, with little misgiving as to the worth while of it all. It is not strange that a vast element of the modern masculine group looks on the fair sex through mental spectacles inclined to a low angle, and our civilization is suffering a moral relapse. Something must be wrong with our mental aspect of human beauty. The poet has said, “a thing of beauty is a joy forever.T“But it is a poor rule that will not work ' both ways,” and if the consideration applies as well to feminine pulchritude,— it appears, “a thing of beauty may be a sorrow , as well.” Finally beauty is a very fickle shrine at which the world has always worshiped, and always will. And the devotion to * beauty probably depends on where principals stand. THE PROHIBITION ISSUE, ANON

It appears, prohibition is the greatest moral issue confronting the American people since the settlement of the slavery question. There are strong forces arrayed on both sides of the prohibition issue, and seemingly, the question is due a long run in national politics. As it stands there is a wide and marked opinion that prohibition is a

failure.

As noted in these columns here-to-fore, the law is unquestionably good. Again it is an undeniable fact that the law is not being enforced, for many reasons. Some people say, it is class legislation. An international^ known columnist, recently said, “prohibition interferes with the northern worker’s beer, and the southern Negro’s gin,—but does not interfere wuth a gentleman’s champagne,” any place. He later asserted in substance, give an American enough prosperity ^apd his bootlegger will solve his prohibition

problem.

Our prohibition laws, it is charged, have put an equivocal social exaction upon a material social order, wherein people are continuously striving for more freedom of action. The^results seemingly have been negative as here-to-fore noted. Law is a rule of action, and good or bad. it must be sustained through .or by the respect of the people. as readily as otherwise. In a democracy it is assumed the laws are made by the peopla and for the people, all the people,—otherwise the law as well as the democracy will eventually fail. The wrangle over prohibition is particsignificant on the eve of a national ion. There is a little possibility that eith ,jor political party, placed at the nahelm, will do anything to change condiin the country as far as prohibition is cerned. But citizens whose cause js esin these columns will do well hence- , to be wide awake when any threat ixipering with the Federal Constitution

pending.

The Democrats have declared for the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment in their platform. They nominated a candidate, who is wet, and immediately surrounded by wet associates. Candidates do not change company or friends when elected, ordinarily. The eastern wets, who are close to the Democratic nominee will be as close, perchance he is elected as they are at present. The wets countenance a change in the prohibition laws. We can not say how far this change will go, if it should get under way. The Democratic south is against the tampering with the prohibition laws, but any precedent, in tampering with the Federal Constitution is a menace to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Perchance a Democratic national administration comes into power, and the wet forces become strong enough a precedent and an opportunity for further nullification of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, is possible, through modification of the prohibition laws. The views projected here may be considered as very unlikely, but the Republican party has moved to abandon its political guardianship of the Negro and the antagonistic south will have more leave to attack him unless he makes a new political front, in keeping with the general course of the nation’s politics. On the face of the possibilities, which may evolve out of the prohibition issue, voters particularly, Negro voters, will do well to study candidates carefully before voting. Studying their associations, connections and interests as well as issues or measures before you vote.

WHERE DO WE STAND, AND WHY?

A southern daily recently engaged in a blind fury of invective against Prof. R. D. McKenzie, who condemned the befuddled theory of “Nordic supremacy.” In scoring Prof. McKenzie however, this champion of “Nordic supremacy” inveigled himself into self condemnation by stating lame traditions as facts. Our contemporary ran true to form in condemning the black race, and as we examined this disparageful raillery, we agreed with ourselves-that the Negro people do need more self-criticism. There is much truth in the white man’s criticism of the Negro people. However we do not forget there is a beam of prejudice and bigotry in his mental eye, and he is elusive of the truth in many things concerning Negro people. In criticism of the American Negro he has not measured up to his opportunities. We make allowances for the restraints around him in his surroundings. The individuals or groups who enjoy all that is near and dear to the human heart have made these things. They are pioneers and leaders, who have paid a price for their places. They have made and are now making the great contributions in essential endeavors,—producers and masters of the material things they survey. The American Negro will never attain any higher place in the nation’s social scheme, than the average position of the Negro in the economic scheme. If the Negro is a serf in the economic scheme, he will be a serf in the social scheme. Regardless of race and creed or color, a group which is low in the economic scheme will be low in the social scheme. It rests with the individual or group to rise in either case. ^ The laws of social evaluation are unavoidable, but the Negro people have never faced these laws squarely. Whatever measures of social justice Negro people do not enjoy, may be acquired largely, on the proving ground of economic endeavor. Social justice is commanded rather than demanded by those who have produced and control the wealth and material resources of this country and all other countries. In his relation to the general people, the Negro has faced benevolence, tolerance and indifference or hostility. He has shown a beggarly appreciation of benevolence arid tolerance, in the effort or price he has expended to measure up to the highest plane of social progress. The benevolent and tolerant attitude, once wide spread, are giving away to indifference along with hostility. The chief hope of advancement for the Negro people of America depends upon their ability to make a place for themselves in the economic scheme, comparable to that of any other like number of the general, people. In this Negro people, as yet, must prove themselves equal to such opportunities as are available or relinquish a wider measure of social justice.

After the November election, the first measure in farm relief will be the distribution of plums.

A vacuum sweeper, and a cough drop might be used as party emblems this fall and save some advertising expense. They are already advertised.

“An empty parking space” might be as far reaching in this campaign, as the old cry of “a full dinner pail.”

The modern reformer unlike charity does not start at home, a contemporary says.

Once upon a time there was a dove who built her nest in a high tree. Every year, about the time her young ones were beginning to get feathers, Reynard Sly-boots would come along and say to the

dove:—

“Give me your young ones- to eat; throw them down to me of your own accord, or I will gobble you, up, as well as them!” The dove, frightened at the threat, wmuld throw down the young birds and thus it happened year after year. = Now one day, as the dove sat most melancholy upon her nent, a
