It is right that the offer should be refused, right to every- body concerned. The great problem of the United States is the development of the colored race, development through education and training in social, political and economic con- ditions. It is our problem, created by ourselves, one which cannot be shifted to any other country without rank injustice to the col- ored race and a wanton refusal on the part of this country to per- form an obvious duty. We have deliberately made the conditions that exist here. We have developed our own problem by the way in which we have thrust upon the negro the priv- ileges of citizenship, for the re- sponsibilities of which he had had no preparation. We have winked at abuses and injustice. We have allowed prejudice to take the place of judgment and often persecution to overcome justice. We must reap the whirlwind where we have ourselves sown UNIQUE STYLE SHOP WILMETTE Before purchasing suitable apparel for that outing, see us.

Bourbon county, Kansas, is being overrun with rattle- snakes this year. And no bour- bon for snakebite! But bourbon always did produce a rare crop of snakes. as a If Russian rubles continue to irop in value and the coal strike does not end soon, some enter- prising American might make his fortune selling baled rubles for fuel. REY Prohibition is bringing lots of moonshine into American homes, say the wets. Sunshine, say the drys. Book Reviews By John Philip Morris THE UNMAKING OF AN AMERICAN If, as Peter Whiffle suggested, a book should be printed in ink whose color |} was in harmony with the text, UP- STREAM by Ludwig Lewisohn should be printed in brightest scarlet on gray paper, for it was written not with ink but with the heart's blood and tears of the author. We may not always find ourselves in agreement with him as in his pas- sionate protests against prohibition, but we must always feel his sincerity and his own deep belief in his state- ments. UPSTREAM is also a fearful indict- ment against the wrongs that modern America has committed against the spirit and the letter of the Declaration of Independence and bursts those ora- torical bubbles that froth of the equali- ty of opportunity and the chances given the energies of the emigrant for anything in the way of true spiritual development or in fact for anything except the making of money. UPSTREAM is Mr. Lewisohn's auto- biography and describes in joyous de- tail his boyhood in Germany, his adolescence in the South, has strug- gles to fit himself for a career that never materialized and his trials and sorrows as an alien in thought, re- ligion and purpose in New York and elsewhere. Although he became a convert to Christianity and was a member suc- cessively of several different Christian creeds he shows that Jewish birth and ancestry clings as closely and as inseparably as the fragrance of a rose jar. While Mr. Lewisohn strays for pages down philosophical byways the book reads easily as fiction and as de- lightfully. It is both a plea and a challenge. As a plea it is worth con- sidering and as a challenge it lies waiting for a champion to do battle. John Philip Morris.
