Mca bread 8 Waele, x | e a a i ~ When the Bankers Get Through ;With Dolley he will be Ready to Return to Mission Creek! _ THE GEORGIA FIREMEN’S STRIKE Southern White Men are Struggling to Get Menial Position Now Filled by Negroes. The strike on the Georgia rail- road by white firemen to compel the company to discharge col ored firemen who have been with the road since its existence is high treason and an insult to what is left of the good name of Georgia. Governor Smith should have stopped it at once but did not have the courage and man- hood to stand up for that which means justice and fair play to all all parties concerned. Gov. Smith is blinded by prejudice— so much so that it brought forth the following editorial from the Greenville (S. C.) Daily News, a red-hot Democratic paper. The News says: “Ie waxall right for Governor Hoke Smith to favor arbitration as a means of adjusting the differences between the firemen and the man. agement of the Georgia Railroad, but when he failed to protect the intereets of the public and the prop- erty of corporations and individuals againe: the fury of mobs he failed aignally in the performance of hie duty. it ina fearful piece of busi- neas when a railroad ia forced to auspend operations ard allow every wheel to stand idle because of mob violence. The etriking bremen are not accused of violent outburste, but people in several communities along the line who have no dirco! interest in the controverey are re. sponsible for the prerent condition of affairs all over the xyatem, We repeat, if Governor Smith hed meatured up to his full duty the Georgia Railroad would not have been foreed to suspend operations. ‘We are not prepared to believe that the people of that great atate. taken sea whole, are in sympathy or ip any degree tolerant with the Jaw. less condition of affiirs which necessitates the perpetration of ary such outrage as that which has been inflicted upon a corporation which ie dependent upon the powers of the state for its existence. Now as tothe merite and de. merita ot the case of the firemen, we are not fully prepared to exprevs a olear opinion, Thematter should and doubtless will be submitted to a bosrd of arbitration for final ad. justment, But that has nothing whatever to do with Governor Smith having order preserved, violence put down and the rights of vested interests proteoted and re. speoted.” Unionism is well encugh when the members act right, and when they failto respect the law and the rights of those who may dif- fer with them, they are no more than other criminals and should be dealt with as such. The triveling public does not care one snap whether the fire- man is white, black, blue or red just so they reach their desti- Mavon sately ave On thie aw also their freight in a like man- ner. Anengine will Lelch forth smoke and steam as well for a black fireman as a white, and engineers who have tried both claim the colored man is better as he works harder to obtain results, As in all cases the white striker wants the earth,and in thts matter, the Greenville (S. C,) Daily News presents the {following as his contentions: “The strike of the firemen of the Georgia road 1s caueed by a refusal of General Manager Scott, of the Georgia road, and Stiperintendent J. D Patterson,of the Georgia Ter. minals, to sign contracts submitted to them. “The jmmediate cause for the strike is the discharge of ten white firemen, or hostlere’ helpers from the Georgia terminals, and the filling of their places with Negroes. “Both Mr. Scott and Mr, Pat. tersou say that neither had authority to sign the contracts submitted to them. *¢The cemand now of the firemen ie that Negroes be eliminated as far an possible by the Georgia road. Thay will probably not spsist that Negroes who were employed as fire. men before the strike be discharged, but they will ask that white men be given the preference. They will ask toothat whenever poesible a Negro will be :eplaved by a white man “The pith of their demand, it would seem, will bo that the seniority of the white fireman over the Negro be fully recognized. “In tbe contracts submitted to Mr- Fatterson and Mr. Scott were a number of atipnlations, One, that if a hoatlery’ helper be hurt he be aveured of employment for life, “It in understood that the fire. men intend to make a fight on three officials of the road, It may be that the discharye of these three men will be aeked. Mr. Ball, of the firemen, ays that in all {prob ability the discharge of one will be ineinted on. “The strike ix not confined sim. ply to the Georgia road, but aleo extends to the Georgia Terminale, which je eeparate and distinct, The Georgia Terminale are owned jointly by the Georgia, Weat Point sod Louisville and Nashville roade."” The officials of the road know who they want to employ and what pays the best. The dis- charge of ten white firemen was not on account of any particular love forthe black man, but be- cause they were not giving the company satisfactory service, and now they have the gall aad cheek to demand the discharge of all colored firemen and that white men be given the preference over blacks who have been with the toad since its existence. Where did this class of white mea come from and what strain of blood courses through their veins? No decent, ordinary person would ask that such ex- treme prejudice be put in force. We did not think Georgia or the South had aclass of white men who would stoop to take a fire- man’s job froma colored mao. We have been told that all of the laborious work of the South belongs to the Negro, that white men are too proud and too good to stoop to menial labor. Great God! What is coming over the aristocratic South? Her proud head is gradually bending low and the ‘‘Good Old Georgia’ in whose sands the colored brother ‘sang let him live and die; where President Taft ate ‘*' possum and sweet taters'’ and white men told him to let the Southand the Negro alone and they would work it out, is the first to lure her pride and seek to drive the black man from a field of labor that has always been conceded to him. It is the same ‘*Good Old Georgia’’ where Taft said ‘I will give you white men the offices if you will give the black man a show."’ Now ‘Good Old Georgia’ keep, your promise, and let the black man perform the labor. You say you can live offof the spoils of office and the colored brother says he can live by the sweat of his brow if let alone and given an opportunity. President Taft has his eye on the Georgia white men and remembers what they promised at the ' possum supper.

Mrs. Henry Mitchell is very ill and has been for several weeks. Prof. R. F. Adams departed last evening for another tour through the country visiting different orders. The closing exercises of Douglas school, under the principalship of Miss Naomi Smith, was witnessed by the most immense audience ever seen at a similar affair. Each girl and boy did his or her part with the case and grace that always seem to characterize the acts of the most carefully trained indi- --- idual. Miss Smith simply covered herself with laurels, by the showing made in this event and the successful years work just completed. At the conclusion of the program Prof. G. W. Wood, who recently brought much good to Springfield by establishing a commercial school and opening a beautiful ice cream parlor and confectionery at 605 Boonville St., in his able, easy and logical wasy as usual carried the house by storm in a fifteen minute address under the subject "Preparation for claiming a place in life." Miss Ala Palbright, teacher of room 5 and one of the very best instructors of the teachers of Springfield and who has been successfully employed for the last 12 or 14 years gave one of the most delightful, interesting and beneficial entertainments of the season. Miss Palbright very seldom comes before the public with her children but when she does, it is worth your while! This was a drama, entitled "Crowned After Dawn." The actors and actresses were grand in action and beautiful in costumes in the several scenes. Fine solos and good selections were also enjoyed. Listening to the exquisite music rendered by Prof. Liston's Orchestra between the acts, one imagined themselves at a grand opera. There was a jolly outing and fishing party that spent the afternoon at Doling Park. This party consisted of: Misses Marie Stemmons, Douie Williams, Anna Smith, Naomi Smith and Messrs. Jas. and Emmett Andrews, Wm. Hayden, Profs. Wood and Miller. It took the entire party to capture and bring back two little fish. They just did arrive in time to rearrange their toilet for the Commencement exercises. They had a most enjoyable tim as they thought they had pretty good luck. (?) Euclid Chapter No. 23, O. E.

Kelly Miller lecture on ‘Race Loyal- ty’ at the C. M. E.church Mon- day evening under the auspices of the Y. M. C.{A., were very much gratified and profited from the bounteous store-house of one of America’s greatest philos- ophers. He is thoroughly edu- cated which cannot be said of but few of the race because they have not had the opportunity or took jthe time and many have tried and found their grey mat- ter to be too limited. Mr. Mil- ler has devoted every minvte of his life to securing a higher edu- cation, which™has cost consider- able money and years of hard study. He is a native of South Caro- lina, about 42 years of age and has a wife and five children. He is dean of Arts and Science at Howard University, Washington, D. C., one of the largest and best known educational insti- tutions in the country. He is author of several books per- taining to the advancement of civilization and the white man’s unfairness to the Negro. His remarks on *'Race Loyal- ty'’ if followed by the Negro race would improve their con- dition sc fast that all opposition would fade into insignificance. Prof. Miller said that loyalty to a cause or race is the only sal- vation for any people. He said Moses's loyalty to the Hebrews made him famous and his peo- ple happy. ‘'No one should Jook to the popular side of a question to gain favor,’’ declared the speaker, ‘‘but must take a just and righteous view and stand by it."’ He said the loyal- ty of Lincola and other martyrs to the cause of freedom brought success to their efforts and crowned them with the ever- lasting respect of the people cf the nation and that before the Negro can succeed he must be loyal to his people. At Kansas City Peof Miller was greeted by a crowded house and hundreds were turned away being unable to get into the hall. After the lecture he was ban- queted by the business and pro- fessional men of that city. He also addressed the graduates of the Topeka Industrial Institute, A man who teaches people something every time he opens his mouth as does Prof, Miller should be better paid. An ad- mission of fifty cents is small enough for such an able lecture. He labors under a disadvantage by lecturing under the auspices ‘of his own people as his lectures are just as beneficial to the white man as to the-biack, e oe vo «THE bankers of Kansas should sally tothe support of their in- surance plan which will sot only rotect depositors bugen@inselves fv, If Dolly is pérmitted to eddie with the banking system of Kansas there ont to be all kinds of diso ex. in, the - mercial world, % espedial ‘ Mga case of this kifid whegg fameace and business's b tigtogh politics.

While something has been done in Lagos, to the Germans belongs the credit of having assisted to create a native export industry in malize from Logoland, which is already yielding results as remarkable as those at tending the rapid development of the most industry in the Gold Coast. Logohand is the smallest German colony in Africa, lying midway between the Gold Coast and French Dahomey, with a coastline of only thirty miles, a total area of 31000 square miles and a population of 1000,000. From this relatively restricted area the natives exported to Hamburg in 1901 600 tons of maize, which in 1907 had grown to 19,500 tons of a value of $300,000 while last year the quantity exported amounted to no less than 29,771 tons. It seems that from the following despatch the new South African Union is beginning to have a real color problem on its hands despite the article to the contrary I sent you sometime ago. The following despatch shows the trend of events. Mr John Langerman, member of the Legislative Assembly for Randfontein, speaking at a banquet given in his honor by his constituents, deprecated the principle of proportional representation in the new constitution which he said would mean the abandonment of the essence of the equal rights principle. He deplored the enjoyment of political rights by the natives of Cape Colony. The time might come when Cape Colony would try to impose the native franchise upon the Transvaal, which they should prepare to resist, even by force of arms it necessary. It was absolutely impossible to have blacks on the same footing as whites. Universal indignation has been caused in Russia by the savage sentence of the years' hard labor and life-long exile in Siberia passed on M. Lopukhin, formerly head of the police and a connection by marriage of the Imperial family. The charge against him was one of treason in that he had revealed or total secrets to the Czar's enemies. But his real offense lay in the fact that while betraying Czell, the master spy (known as the limes of crime), to the terrorists, he had made public the methods of the secret police. It is now known that presumably with the approval of his superiors Czell was steeped deeply in the crimes of the terrorists to a degree that could hardly be excused even by those who approve of the employment of provocative agents. M. Lopukhin, in his own defence, pleaded that he has always suspected Czell of playing a double part. When the two lionesses Bartzell came to M. Lopukhin and told him that, in addition to his other crimes, the spy was plotting against the Czar's life, he felt bound, for conscience' sake, to unmask the arch-criminal as a secret agent of the police. M. Stolypin the Premier, had promised that full light would be shed on Czell's abominable deeds, by this pledge was cynically violated at the trial. Despair reigns in the household of M. Ispukhin. His wife cannot bring herself to take the possibility of the sentence being carried out. "He does not deserve such a fate," she cried. "and surely cannot be made to undergo it. But I shall certainly accompany him to Siberia if need be, and shall leave my daughters in the care of relatives." COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. Rev. John Turner at Raton, N.

The latest addition to the negro business world of the two Kansas Cities is the elegant undertaking establishment of Messrs. Wyatt and Randolph, located at 920 North 3rd street, Kansas City, Kansas. Not only is it one of the neatest and best equipped establishments of its kind in the west but it has at its head two of the most progressive and well known men of the two cities. Mr. S. Wyatt, the manager, was with the K. C. Embalming & Casket Co., for eight years as embalmer and funeral director, and is in a position now with his large experience and modern and up-to-date equipment to give better service than ever before to the public. Mr. Wyatt is a graduate of the famous Clark School of Embalming of Cincinnati, first licensed embalmer of color in the state of Kansas, having received his license in 1902. Mr. Wyatt says the statements circulated that he was out of the city or intended going away was absolutely false as he has not been away and has no intention of leaving Kansas City, Kansas. He belongs to the Masons and Odd Fellows and is held in high regard by all who know him. Mr. F. E. Randolph has been a resident of this city for a quarter of a century and by thrift and industry has acquired a comfortable competency. He also is a member of a number of fraternal organizations and though of a modest and retiring disposition, stands high in the business world among both white and black. This splendid firm has selected an excellent location for their business and it goes without saying that they will succeed beyond peradventure. The Son congratulates them upon their wisdom and wishes them unbounded success. --- THEY ARE OFF FOR THE PIANO! Who is the Most Popular Lady? Your 'Vote May Decide.

The average individual thinks that the only way to get title to Government Lands is to make a homestead entry and live on the same five years before getting a title. He is of the opinion he is limited to 160 acres and he would not live on a tract of land five years if the Government would deed him over one-half of a state. There is a way for any citizen of the United States to obtain title to any Government timber or agricultural land in any state in the Union without residence or cultivation. The only way to do this is to buy U. S. Government Land certificates and pay for your land with same. Railroads and timbermen obtain title to Government Land in this way. The Government discontinued issuing these certificates about the year 1853, therefore they are getting very scarce. The firm of H. B. Sanders & Co., Judge building, Salt Lake City, Utah, have secured a few thousand acres of them that they are offering at the rate of $27.00 per acre. The certificates come in 80 and 120 acre pieces, and can be located on any timber or agricultural land in Alaska or any state in the Union. Each piece has a letter of approval attached to it from the Government, and there is no limit to the time in which to locate them. According to the official report of the Department of the Interior under date of July 1, 1908, there is still over 75 million acres of unappropriated land in Oregon, Washington, California and Idaho. Some of the finest timber land in the world is open for entry in these states. Any person wishing to get title to some timber land or anticipating the starting of a townsite in the west, can get full particulars by writing the above firm.

Besides being the only perfect de- VICE for drying the hair quickly, it works won- ders in that it will surely straighten curly hair and gives it the natural fluffy and wavy appearance so much desired. Its reg- ular use will increase the growth of the hair in beautiful waves. The Magic should not be judged by some of its poor imitations. Do not be deceived; get the genuine. See by this picture that you are get- ting a handsome toilet article for your money. The Magic Aluminum Comb is never heated di- rect; it takes a moderate heat from the steel bar (which alone is hea- ted, the comb being removed for the time). It can nev- er burn the hair or scalp. STEEL HEATING BAR SHAMPOO DRIER MFG.CO. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. ALUMINUM COMB HOW TO USE THE MAGIC The Handsome Aluminum Comb is never heated direct. The clamps, which hold it in place, are released by turning the handle. Then the heavy steel bar is heated (like a curling iron) in gas or alcohol lamp. The comb is slipped back into place, the handle turned and the "Magic" is ready for use. Hundreds of ladies write on that they would not attempt to arrange their hair without the Magic. We positively guarantee that it will straighten the cur- less hair without injury to the hair or scalp and, by keeping the head free from dandruff, it increases the growth of the hair. Hair dried and straightened in 30 minutes after shampoo by using the Magic. Do not be deceived by imitations, buy the genuine, get the best—and to fashionable ladies for years, it always gives satisfaction. AGENTS WANTED IN EVERY TOWN But don't wait for an agent.
