Admits He Still Drinks "When He
Wants It In a Speech To Detroit
Y. M. C. A. Negroes.
Detroit, Nov. 10.—With a fling at
prohibition and genially pessimistic
comments on life in general, Clarence
Darrow, Chicago attorney, addressed
.-•1,500 negroes at a branch Y. M. C. A.
Saturday. * ^
Darrow is in the city as counsel for
Ossan H. Sweet, his wife and nine
other negroes charged with murder
#ir. cohnection with the shooting to
death Leon Broiner, when, police say,
* volleys of shots were fired from the
Sweet residence located in a ^rhite
neighborhood.
, • Regarding the Eighteenth amend
ment, Darrow said: *
“1 used to drink before prohibition
moderately.' I still drink. The Vol
stead act has not seemed to have the
slightest effect on my appetite.”
Darrow said that he would not dis
cuss the Sweet case, but commented
that “it is certain that a district built
to house 5,000 negroes will prove a
bit too small to accomodate 80,000
now in Detroit. Obviously they must
live somewhere. If they move into
white neighborhoods they depreciate
property values. It is true and I
confess I do not know what is to
be done about it.”
After commenting on the race prob
lem in the United States, asserting
the “man on the ground Always feared
the newcomer,” and that “if a white
man went to the Congo he would
be hated and misunderstood, Darrow
took up the question of slavery.
Refelring to the emancipation pro
clamation of Abraham Lincoln, he de
clared it was “a devil of an emanci
pation proclamation.”
“Did you ever read it?” he asked.
“Well, it told the South if it quit
fighting it could reenter the union
and keep the negroes as slaves. Lin
coln was not an abolitionist of the
stripe of Sumner and Garrison. He
only resorted to emancipation later.
It was not a part of his program from
the first.”

James Hamilton Lewis, always pic
turesque, but sometimes inaccifrate,
says the Republican nomination fight
in 1928 will be between Secretary
Hoover and Vice-,President Dawes. He
says the “two-term tradition estab
lished by Washington, will not break
down.”
-
“ALWAYS ON THE JOB”
•
Mr. Lewis is just 100 per cent wrong
in two ways. There isn’t any ques
tion of a two term tradition.
Mr. Coolidge has been elected by
the people ONCE, and it is the elect
ion, not the accident of a presidential
death, that counts. Unless we have
very bad times in America, between
now and 1928, and we shall NOT have
them, the nomination and election of
President Coolidge are as certain as
anything can be.
Moving pictures compress a great
deal of work and effort into a short
period of “seeing.”
Will Hays says the average eight-
hour day of film work, actors, actress
es, directors, working hard for eight
hours, produce THREE-QUARTERS
OF A MINUTE of actual film display.
In one big picture, soon to be re
leased, a sixty-five acre field was
covered with a “set” costing $300,000,
and it represented in all just six
minutes of moving picture entertain
ment. . i
This compressing of hard work is
not new. Montesquieu devoted more
than twenty years of intense research
and study to the production of his
two small volumes, “The Spirit of
Laws.”
Darwin, over a period of thirty
years, gathered information about
earthworms, and their contribution to
’ New York, Nov. 16.—After a race .....
vjlith death io a special train for which { 8 fertility, that you may read
<i K -
freight and passenger trains were
shunted to sidings, Gus Waggener,
wealthy oil operator at Fort Worth,
Texas, was at the bedside of his dying
sister tonight.
The racing special train acqpered
the 1,051 miles between St. Louis and
New York in three hours less than
• «
* the scheduled time of twenty-three
hours of the fastest of the expresses
on the Pennsylvania railroad.
Mrs. James A. Gilmore, the sister,
suffered a relapse Thursday from an
old illness. Three physicians and four
attending nurses decided that her
brother should be tailed ^rom Fort
Worth. j t — —
A limousine waiting here with a
traffic policeman on the running
board to clear the way completed ar
rangements and Waggener sped to the
bedside of his sister in record time.
The trip cost more than $1Q,000,
$5,000 of which went to the train
crew, Mr. Waggener having promised
them that sum if they made the run
in twenty-four hours or less.
, When he climbed from his coach
liere and started for the limousine,
he called back over his shoulder to
the crew, “you win, boys; you are
wonders.”'
in a few minutes.
Fortunately, and most important,
moving pictures when the best use is
made of them will compress EDUCA
TION, as they now compress action.
It will be literally possible through
moving pictures to teach a child in
three-quarters of arvbour, and to teach
well, thoroughly and PERMANENT
LY, more than the child can learn
under proper methods in a dozen
school days of eight hours, speni in
doors at a time when the child ought
to be out m the sunshine.
In politico we used to fight about
slavery, then about tariff and the
full dinner pail. Those issues are
worn out, and as Mr. Robert Barry
says, political fights now are centered
on alcohol and religion. Those issues
will pass away, but men always will
have something to divide them.
The Reverend Selden T. Lelany says
faith helps disease, as it undoubtedly
does, and. gives a scientific explana
tion. Faith inspires beneficial emo
tions; they cause in the body “chemi
cal changes that banish disease.”
Gould
The Reverend Francis J. Hall con
nects suffering with the will of G6d,
and says sickness is sometimes goed
for you. When people are wtll, they
lack useful warnings that sickness
gives. Science and religion are draw
ing together.

Conductors and trainmen in the
West want more money, an increase
of $25,000,000 a year. To say it will
horrify the conservative mind, yet «f
the increase in pay be granted con
servatives and everybody else will be
better off. All that the big man can
get is what the little man has to
Ppend.
Let him who thinks low wages
mean prosperity for the big man start
something in China. He will find men
and women to work for a few cents
a day, but he wont build any great
fordwe. Good wages are to a «a
tion^s prosperity, from top to bottom,
what irrigation is to the nation’s
crops.
