No newspaper in America, and we in clude the great ,nd powerful ‘Hil.es of the country, barring none, has a more learned, lucid ana scholarly corps of editorial writers than The Negro World. Its editorials aud special art icles are classics. We do not always agree with the position taken by our able contemporary, and we think that it errs on the side of too much lauda tion of llaivus Garvey, but we cheer fully bear testimony to the ability with which this great newspaper is edited and the powerful influence it mu't wield. That it carries a section print ed in Spanish to reach its large num ber *f readers in Spanish-speakH** countries bespeaks for it a far-reach in ' influence which none can gainsay. The Negro World is a great joamcl and is moulding a tremendous race consciousness and sentiment among I conic of African descent throughout the world. This influence should noc lie underrated. BEING HELPFUL rJ^HE one who gets most out of life is he who tries to help somebody else who may not have had the same advantages as himsel f cr v ho has been overtaken by some misfortune. In the day of the Great Assize we are to be judged as to what use we have made of the opportunities given us to help the other fellow. THE DYER BILL rpHE Dyer Bill to make lynching a federal offense is before Congress. Now is the time for northern congress men and southern congressmen, too to prove that they' really want the lynch ing evil supressed. WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY The Question of Race Superiority W/E print elsewhere in The Negrc World the New York Sun’s ac count of the address of Dr. de Lapov ouge before the Eugenics Congress, at which the famous French anthropolo gist spoke of the colossal disaster v-hirh : lushing tcwaids white civ ilizatiem. Dr. de Lapoyouge said in the eour.-e of h:s address: "Rac-m may quite easily accept the same language and may change their religions and customs and may be called by the same national name, but they cannof change the shpw of their skulls their skin or their character. Anthroiiolog ical analysis, however, reveals the ex istence of a superior white race and of inferior white races. It is this su perior white race which, by virtup of its superior fitness, is now occupying the positions of social responsibility in education, finance, science, religion. We are confronted with the fact that the supplies of petroleum, coal and necessary minerals are limitedard and the fimtlog of equivalents for these supplies is a task which only the su perior race can undertake. The su perior race has gone so far toward these ecpiivalents already that we can ♦ N O TI C E . ► CONCERNING THE KRl G PARK DANCE « > * » - TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN : < ► < > , > We have been made to understand that people are ' ’ under the impression that 40% of th proceeds fiom the Y !“Dancing Feast” given at Krug Park and conducted by the £ Blue Circle, Monday, September 12, 1921, were to be donat- y ‘ | ed to the Church. This was a mistake and we wish to £ make it clear that the Club could in no way make such a £ prmiose, because it was given only 15% of the proceeds y • according to contract, for conducting the dance. This £ amounted to $58.12. The remaining 85% of said proceeds Y ! \ did not come into the Blue Circle Club’s treasury, and we ' ‘ have no knowledge of its disposition. y i | We are making this statement in order that the public X • ■ will be acquainted with the fact that there has been no •> | | enormous profit acrueing from the dance, coming into the y i i Club’s treasury. £ • • Y I Made this tenth day of October, 1921, under our seal. f ; 2 • SIGNED— % THE BLUE CIRCLE CLUB, 2412 Lake St. f < i Y Council W.

But more significant were the re marks of Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn of Columbia University, that education and environment do not greatly' alter racial values. It is certainly unusual to read o! a distinguished French scientist speak ing of a superior white race ami inferior white races and saying noth ing about an inferior black race. Pei hajvs he does not regard the blacl: race as inferior or as insignificant and inconsequential as not to be taken Into account. The question of a superior race G largely a relative question. When we discuss inferior and superior races, we bring in relativity; not the relativity of Einstein, however. Three thousand years ago the Babylonians and Egyp. tians were powerful and prosperous and egardeu theme-elves as suueitor. while the Greeks were rude and semi barbarous. Twenty-five hundred and twenty-four hundred yeai s ago the Greeks had reached the high watet mark of civilization hnd regarded themselves as superior, while the Ro mans were rude and semi-barbarous. Two thousand years ago the Ilomar were the conquerors of the world and regarded (hemselves as superior, white the Britons, Gauls and Germanic tribes were rude and decidedly bar. barous. Today the descendents of 1 tie e-stwhile barbarians and savages are dominating the world, regarding them selves as suiierior and considering the Zulus Kaffirs, Baustos. Ba Guta, Ba Lolo, Ba Luba, Ba-Mangwata, the Mandigans, the Krumans, the Sene 'Hiese and Vat tribes as rude and de. cldedly barbarous and of an inferior racial stock. Perhaps five hundred years from now the despised and ex ploited Africans may be carrying The torch of civilization and deciding who is in the world.—The Negro World. LIVING A SELFISH LIFE In every community there are people , who live almost entirely to and for themselves. They never identify themselves with the church or any other organization which maks for social uplift or stresses, albeit imper fectly. the fraternal or or'al ideal. This is a serious mistake. Every man owes it to the community in which he lives to contribute of his best to that community. He owes it to society. Living to oneself may seem easiest, but the normal man and woman is he or she who loves to be friendly with his kind and this is impossible when one withdraws himself and by his iso lation is living a selfish life.

Grandeur Mount Rainier r— -1 Avalanche Lily S ope, Rainier Naiion*; i-arn I*r*p»r*d by lip* National Olographic So ciety, tVanbington. It. C.) As the famous apunese luuuutuln, Fuji, dominates its section of Japan, -o the great white cone of Mount Rainier dominates the I’acifle North west. a landmark and beauty-spot fr*tm j the populous cities of I’uget sound, from tlic prairies of eastern Washing ton, and even on clear days from far at sea. It is the glacier mountain without a peer in the Fritted States, and Is estimated by one authority to radiate a greater volume and area ol ! ice than any other one mountain In the world. Its area of glacial surface is estimated at .VJ.islO acres. To the st rauger In Puget sound It ap|tears to be less than ten miles away i but on further Inquiry the tourist learns that it Is more than forty miles ' distant in a direct line from sea-level ! at I’uget sound, from where mountain survey measurements are made and all Rainier park travel starts. Studying it more In detail, lie begins ' to comprela i d Its size and rugged , aimtmnj But the s.-etie is beginning to change: the sun Is low In the west: the lower Hid of tile glaciers, white j a feu minutes ago. become a graded ' ! tint of rose pink : the blue has changed to a purple, but the summit Is still j I white, for It Is 7.000 feet higher than I ! *he snow line and projects up Into the white rays of the setting sun. The red rays are slowly moving up the 1 mountain; the summit Inis changed j i to rose hue. the Inst coloring of day. which It holds for s,,me minutes after the sun has h ft the landscape und i then changes hack again, finally, from warm to the cold purple afterglow tliHt generally precedes a summer night on I’uget sound. Its Cap a Weather Sign. View ing Mount Rainier after the I ■ weather has been fair for some days. 1 u is .mini to see the summit covered with m cloud. This cap Is very interesting and is always looked at : for a forecast of m change of weather, j especially w lam It forms immediately : in contact with the summit, hugging down closely like Hu inverted saucer. When the * up forms suddenly, like the sudden drop of a barometer, ihe j change of weather is not long coming. The cap d**es not always touch the | iiiouu afn top. hut Is occasionally some i distance above and holds its shape I during m whole day or more. From ,i fur distance tills cap aptwara I to be a ..till cloud with no motion, but | In studying It from close range »ne will observe that at the west edge the cap develops rapldlv. dissolving t*> in visible condition at the east edge. Evidently It Is h stationed point of I condensation but not a stationed ac cumulation of moisture. The crater of Rainier, concerning which many question- are asked. Is not dangerous, but rather a life-pre server. and has lu*en s« used during storm. There ar** no u|*eiiii#gs within the crater large enough to be danger ous. The whole circle of 1.600 feet iiameter is filled with fallen black lava and covered with a thick pack of snow the year round, except at (tie edges near tin crater's rim. The main crater was the mountain's principal vent of eruption, but there is one other place called the little crater; It Hnd a few other"s|>ots near the top are also warm. The lirst jut riles to the summit al ways made the crater their inn. where they stayed at night, warmed by the steam that issues from the xnmll fissures just within the crater’s rim: but of late the plan has been to reach the summit from t ump of the floods (elevation. .",500), starting about 1 a. m.. reaching the summit Just after noon, and, after some hours’ rest, re turning to camp the same evening. Hot Steam of the Crater. In making a trip to the mountain’s summit, August. 1911. the writer took along a thermometer to ascertain the steam temperature, and found the steam of the main crater in places tp be shout 150 degrees F. There are other places where the heat Is above | boiling point. The steam is evidently snow water that seeps down and comes in con tact wllli the internal heat, returning In vapor through file same general open I ings. It seems to contain no gas or fumes, and Is of feeble fort* and little volume, soon disappearing In the high, dry atmosphere, it Is not seen from a far distance and Is not a factor In j producing the cloud cap that forma on the summit previous to storm. | ? i l Reid—Duffy Pharmacy I l I t 24th and Lake Sts. } —, _1 f 1 Publications stating ti nt smoke and fire toms front litis vobulin during .seismic disturbance have no founda tion of fact, for It Is evident, that n*> civilized mull ever witnessed such a sight, and that vn'i title action lit this section is a phono neiion of the long (Mist.
