MITCHELL TALKS OUT LOVD The ill fated Shenandoah left behind her the makings of better air service, if investigation and recommendation mean anything to our government. It was said by some that Colonel "too much" for the good of the vEervice; but his talk has not yet raised any objections around 1 the table of he naval court of inquiry.

And be it said, Mitchell visjtalkhig out loud, "rif'it requires trained army officers to direct an army; and it requires trained naval officers to direct a navy in its oper ations at sea, Colonel Mitchell insists that the men who direct flying ought to know how to fly themselves. This is not bad xj argument, and Mitchell is getting a hearing. It was a hearing that Mitchell sought from the first. He may have talked "out of school" so to speak, but he was talking in the only manner 'Calculated to bring his complaints to official attention. The peo jle are thankful that Mitchell is getting a hearing.

he is telling the country, the world, for that matter, i niany things few of us have contemplated seriously. He pre 'diets that the Orientals will invade this country on the west by of Alaska and the Aleutians and Bering Straits, if they a invade us at all. He knows there is little or no defense against such an invasion except' from the air. He does not believe the Lrmv and navy are taking seriously enough the importance of 1 the He isayff the air service is not being developed! improved. He is telling the whole story, and as unpleasant tsAit may sound to his superiors, he has the ear of the populace.

AMd it must be remembered hat the populace does the fighting a time of war. 't. President Ooolidge may have in mind the fact that this country has lost a full dozen vessels in times of peace, more than the war took as its toll. Secretary Wilbur has been asked tjj rsigny by a New York newspaper. Mitchell may, by talk t'ixsjf'QuI loud, disclose some incompetencies hitherto unknown liet bim talk, so long as he tells the truth.

PROHIBITION DOES NOT PROHIBIT The Federal Council of Churches has just released its re port on prohibition. The report is lengthy and attempts to be rather comprehensive. It is released as, and is evidently in Xv tended to be, an argument showing the favorable progress of Prohibition since the passage of the Volstead Law. it is in interesting to note some of the observations made, all of which fAre attributed more or less to Prohibition. Examples are: Homes are better furnished; husbands i 'spend more of their income in the family circle; marital rela tions improved; more sanitary homes; mental health is better; liquor less accessible to children; more drinking by young peo less respect for law.

rAJ Now a brief review of the report reveals but one conclusion, In spite of the better homes, in spite of the money Vthe husbands spend on the families; in spite of the mental health being better, whatever tht means; and in spite of the improved marital relation (they forgot the figures on and in spite of all the claims made by the optimis tic researchers, he sad admission is made that the young people are drinking more, and there is less respect for law. v4 In the name all that is Holy," what more evidence of a hell bent direction. do we want than the admission that the CTPung people are drinking more, and that there is less re spect for law. A drunken young generation, and disrespect for law! We admit this is a cheerful report, and it does more to Prohibition than it does to liquor. Bring back the pur and the brass rail.

i i 'If our young people are drinking more under Prohibition, 5 then as to them. Prohibition is a failure and a curse. If there vH less respect for law, then Prohibition, if continued as we PTe lt D0W wil1 eventually break down the laws of the land. yriMf. Prohibition had done but one thmg: It has placed a pre raium on liquor, and the young people are drinking because 13 a human curiosity which does not resist going after things on which premiums are placed.

Liquor pro iS whether the liquor is in the young or the old, black or white, rich or poor. If the report of the Churches shows us anything, it shows us how badly we need simply to regulate liquor, and not Prohibit liquor. LOGAN TO GET INDEPENDENT SUPPORT I fe. Vv Our daily papers inform us that the Independents back ing the candidacy of Professor Smith, for Mayor, against Judee vuai.w H. Ane, win support Alderman Kobert H.

Logan in eiecnon in ivovemoer. JLogan is the colored man who was defeated in the Primaries, although he is a Republican is oldmg an office to which he was elected by the Repub Jican. party six years ago. Republican ward leaders united to defeat this year, and his defeat was made possible by Vi another coloretl candidate, who refused to withdraw for the akecf harmony. Other factors enter into the defeat of Logan, ana there is not a little dissatisfaction among the people of the )yard, both white and colored.

is evidently some unusual fear in the minds of those who worked the defeat of Logan. Even after Logan was de a defeated candidate, the successful man, or his friends, Wers exempting the name "Independents" for, the evi 2 Purpose of preventing Logan or his friends from using that thS election. This was the open indication to an ioU9in? that aU was not well with the opposition. i WHAT IS A MOMENT TO YOU? A man 'Tan for a taxi cab In, order to save a 'few moments. He slipped upon the ice and killed himself.

A man in pursuit of what he knew was his duty, orer rode his physician's advice to go home to take preventive pneumonia treat ment and stayed on duty after having been in 'water to his' wajst on a winter night. He died of pneumonia a few. days later. "A woman crossed the street when she could have waited for a minute for the traffic to change and rive her the right of way. Sho was struck by a car and went down to fracture her skull and later to die.

A woman was in too much of a hurry: to wait for someone to come and help her lift a heavy pail of hot water down 'from the stove and it tipped and scalded her so badly that she was ill for weeks. How many time we thoughtlessly SAVE A MINUTE AND RISK A LIFETIME. It is seldom that we human beings ean "beat time" and not take pun unmentflor so doing. Time is a man shaped convenience and like a great number of things which he has made eventually becomes endowed with a sort of personality and "mind of its own." Machines obey laws until when a man ignores that law they appesr to have a vindictive impulse to destroy their maker and master. Yet if the individual had "gone along" with the man made thing and recognized its limitations and its importance or non importance it could not have turned "and rent him.

(By A. N. At the request of the delegates from the jNetherland, the grand sire of the Independent Order of Oddfellowc H. A. Thompson, in' trodueed a resolution at the Sovereign Grand Ledge Convention, recommending that action be taken to permit admission to the.

order of races of color the (world over. The Netherlands request was made, it was stated, in the interest of the Dutch East Indies.l They hd won over Logan, but they were afraid, even in the face of victory. I The Independents sawlhe sign of fear. They went into Court, and exempted the name, "Non partisan jparty of Allegheny County." Under this title, the Independents can vote for Logan in November. The fight is on to a (finish, and the primary fight will be forgotten when the guns begin to roar from the lines of the Independents.

The colored people of Pittsburgh feel that the Independents have declared themselves for fair play. Colored people are not ingrates. If the Independents are acting sincerely in their offer to help Logan, they have played the wisest card this city has seen for many moons. The Independents will get almost every colored vote in every section of Pittsburgh in return for their assistance to Logan in the Fifth Ward. Colored people will help those who help them.

They are powerless when standing or acting alone, but they are a mighty power when added to other forces. The Independents will get more by supporting Logan than they will get in actual support and votes from any other' political alliance they have made. If they elect Logan, they will have a nucleus for future efforts! If Logan fails, they will be accused of double dealing, and they will die aborning, so far as colored people are concerned. We shall see what we see. FOR WINTER READING With the approaching season pf indoor activities comes the thought of how one shall engage one's self during the coming winter months.

Perhaps the most profitable pastime for the mind is reading good reading. And because there is so much offered us, it is very important that we make careful selections. Our recent review of periodicals led us far afield. We encountered any number of monthly, weekly and quarterly periodicals all bent upon telling the reading world, a separate and special story about man and his civilization as it operates today. We were trying to find something to read during the coming winter months.

We found something more interesting, at least for the moment. 1 "lluuc oi iue many omer excellent journals to be found on inc. news sianas or ine country. White Delegates Refuse To. Stoy At Eastern Hotel When 'Golqr Line Is Drawn ATLANTIC CITY, N.

Oct white secretaries of the Student Department of the Nationally. M. A. refused Friday, to take accommodations in a white hotel on the boardwalk, because the colored staff of the National Council was refused accommodations and went with the colored secretaries to the Ridley House, a colored hoteL Among the white secretaries now staying at the Ridley Hotel are two white southern men.v They are aa strongly opposed to the segregation practices of the white hotels, as the men from the East and West. The action of this group probably dooms Atlantic City as a future meeting place of men, since the National leaders of the organisation are determined that they will not hold national meetings in places' that draw the color line.

Probe Labor Conditions In Missouri (By the Associated Press) JEFFERSON CITY, Oct. 1 The state Labor Department and The Missouri Negro Industrial Commission are at the present time cooperating in investigation of labor conditions among Negroes of the state. At the suggestion of state Labor Commissioner, Hon. Roye Hinkle, Robert S. Cobb, Secretary of the Industrial Commission, is collecting data on the labor, health, housing, and educational conditions of Missouri Negroes.

Commissioner Hinkle plans to ure the information gathered as an aid to the industrial expansion program of hi. department. Secretary Cobb and Chairman Hubbard have onered Mr. Hinkle the fullest cooperation of their department and the commissioner has said that he regards the investigation' of the Negro working conditions as a timely and important 'issue. 31 r.

Hinkle said that many vt World's Work offered us a most interesting opportunity; and we pass it along to our readers. In the September Number of World's Work we found three very interesting articles all dealing indirectly with one and the same subject the South. But the letter from the editors of Columbia STATE. South Carolina, offered us the inspiration for these lines. The history of the struggle of STATE is invaluable.

Every American, black and white, Jew or Gentile, ought to have that letter in the home library. Few institutions struggle upward against such traditions, prejudices and boycotts as did the STATE. To us, the history is the history of more institutions than one. We have decided that STATE shall be one of the journals for our own reading this winter. Of course, World's Work holds a unique place among readers of the whole country.

It offers so much to so many. And we can not escape mention of The American Mercury, green of cover and attractive, and within, the reader finds fields, as i were, green and inviting, ripe with hanging fruits and food for the mind. We are going to read The American Mercury this winter. We mention these periodicals because they are not afraid they will "offend their readers South," or North or West or East if they publish the truth about mankind, and his varied relations. To those who seek to improve the inind by reading, we offer the above, periodicals as wholesomesafe and dean.

And we do not. by any stretch of the imagination, attempt to em Missouri. He intends to cooperate with tie Negroes who wish employment and cotton growers who need help. In a recent letter circulated amon? the leading colored citizens of Missouri Chairman Hubbard urged that the Negroes support Commissioner Hinkle's drive for greater use of Missouri mined coal thruout the state. The Chairman urged support of the measure as a "boon to business conditions." He expressed the belief that a development of the mines would encourage home Industry and would give employment to many men both white and black.

Secretary Cobb will pend several weeks in Southern Missouri studying the labor, housing and health conditions of the "migrants employed in the cotton section. Woman, AgVdrll5, Diw SENATORIA. Miss, Oct ll "Aunt Jane" Fiewellen. said to he 115 years old. died, here recently.
