Citizenship Rights Not to Be Abridged. | |1. All persons bom or naturalized in the United States, t •; and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the J ■ > United States and of the State wherein they reside. No j. !! state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the X JI privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor | ; • shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or prop- | !! erty without due process of law, nor deny to any person X !! within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. X THE TWIN STRIKES rPHE twin strikes, coal and railroau, do not seem very .near settlement. Daily the public is led to believe that the end is near. Conferences are be ing held, but little progress is made. Operatives and employees seem to De stubbornly contending for certain con cessions which it would seem might well be left to a board of arbitration. In the meantime tremendous economic waste is going on for which the public must pay. Strikes, like all forms or war, evoke greater evils than they allay. FORMING PUBLIC OPINION JOSEPH CARR has sent a commun ** ication to the Omaha Daily Bee commending its editorial contest “To , Help Form Pubic Opinion,” which 60 fully expresses the views of many of our own thoughtful readers that we give it space in our columns and com mend its careful reading. The Amer ican newspaper has a great responsi bility placed upon it. The race news paper shares this responsibility in a limited degree with the great dailies and national weekles. The formation of sound public sentiment is greatly 1 needed at all times and never more particularly so than in these hysterical days of the reconstruction period. SENATE GETS DYER BILL JVDW that the committee has recom mended the Dyer Bill to the Senate j it does seem to us that that august! body should get Into quick action. It is not a sectional measure, nor a par-' tisan one, but a patriotic one. If Americans believe in the reign of the law rather than the reign of the mob, federal steps should be taken to make , this fact plain not only to our own citizens, but to the world. The Dyer measure has this as Its objective. It. should be speedily passed. We are told this is a white man's civilization, well then It is up to the Congress of the United States who are all white men to help save their civilization from barbarism and savagery. Estab lish and maintain the supremacy of law. The individual states admit their lmpotency; the federal government should therefore act. P. M. Harris, popular barber of the South Side, returned last week after an extended visit through the South. He also looked over his oil interests while on this vacation thus mixing business and pleasure. Worth Recording. A Washington woman had scrimped for a long time to take a trip to pana ma. A man very much younger than herself. In the deck chair beside her, was making the voyage for the good of a frazzled nervous system. He was a whimsical youngster, who could Joke at his own ups and downs, and she was used to boys, so they talked of this and that until at last the subject came around to the thing that makes the traditional mare go. The woman, atlll dazed at the Aladdln-like power that could transmute small economies into a fairy world of blue ocean bil lowing Into blue sky, took her turn at the conversation by voicing civiliza tion’s oldest platitude: “Money talks, doesn't It?” "It sure does, though my money only knows two words—'Good bye.'” And tlie woman has brought It home as one of her good little stories. The Church Fair. The suburban woman and her sev enteen-year-old son, George, went to the church fair. The fair, like most eburch fairs, was costing the woman a great deal of money. It was a chance on this and a chance on that. A few articles she bought outright. Since she was well known and her hnsband's salary was also a matter of town gossip, all her friends who had charge of booths Insisted upon lier buying and buying. All this continual handing out money M too much for George’s compre hension. He couldn't seem to under stand the cause of It all. Finally, when hie mother was free for a few ■oments, be looked at her seriously and asked, "Mamma, do we have to pay te get out?”—Chicago Journal. . 400.000 ELIGIBLE—ONLY 2,500 VOTE IN SOUTH CAROLINA Columbia, S. C., Aug. 11—Although there are 400,000 colored men and women of voting age in this state, only about 2,500 of them have been able to pass the rigid disfranchising laws, get themselves registered and vote. There are the same number of white people of voting age in the state and 64.000 of them voted in the last elec tion for Woodrow Wilson. Harding got a little over 2,250 votes. Efforts of the republican party to increase the colored vote in South Carolina has aroused the Columbia State, a white daily paper here, which declares that unless the Negro is kept out of politics, he cannot be kept out of jobs in the cotton mills. This white newspaper also calls upon the governor to appoint the “right kind of judges of election and registrars” so that even qualified Negroes may not get their names on the books. S. PAUL’S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 26th and Seward Streets R. Taylor. Pastor Is it necessary at this time to ask the question, “What Is the Purpose of Divine Worship? Why Have Two Services or More One Day in Seven?” It certainly shouldn’t be and yet there seems to be much confusion on the matter. Let us remember that God Almighty established the idea that to keep us human beings correct spirit ually at least one-seventh of our time should be definitely devoted to epiritual development Shall creature say to the Creator, “You are in error in this matter.” And he gave some apostles; and some prophets; and some evangelists; and some pastors and teachers for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the mnistrv, for the edifying of the body of Christ. Services Sunday: 11 a. m., “Meat.” 8 p. m., “The Call of Levi.” 7:15 p. m., Christian Endeavor, “Pride and Humil ity,” Jas. 4:6-10; Miss Minnie'Givens, leader. Penny-urious, So to Speak. A man who had Just opened a store In a strange town was Interrogating one of his early customers on the pur chasing power of the citizens. “Now, there’s Deacon Brown,” he said. “He has the reputation of being wealthy. Would he be likely to spend much money In here?’’ “Wa-al,” drawled the native, reflec tively, "I wouldn't exactly say that he’d go to hell for a nickel, hut he’d fish around fer one till he fell in.”— Salt Lake Telegram. A Privilege of Youth. Mrs. Chatterton—Oh. Henry; what do you think? Little Richard Is be ginning to talk. Her Husband—Good luck to him I It's more than I’ve been able to do In this house. How did he ever gat the chance? Growth of the Telephone. If the telephone calls that were put In last year in the United States alone had been scattered evenly about the earth, every person in every country would have been seven times to the phone—every one of India's troubled millions, of China's and of Africa’s, and of the almost countless others In every other land. The wires used In the United States would span the dis tance of the moon 100 times—would circle the earth 1.000. The army and navy of the United States together number about the same as the em ployees of the Bell telephone system. T ramps. The age of the average tramp be fore the war was fifty years. Now it’s thirty-two. And the 1922 model tramp rides on auto trucks Instead of freight trains. Tills information Is from the report of a New York welfare associa tion with a name us long as Barnum’s Cardiff giant. The association is seek ing a way to reduce the number of tramps. Quickest way is to give them the jobs they seek. Second, and im possible, is to kill the wanderlust that exists in every human, a psychoan alytic complex, reaction from the dull grind of civilization. ..-~T I LINCOLN NEWS AND t :: COMMENT :: Mrs. W.
