By associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, Oct. 29—In the light of the "Commission" report out of Chicago on the "pleasant relations" of races in Mississippi, this story from The Clarion, daily, is a wonder. It says: "An affair happening in Jackson or rather close to Jackson, Sunday, that has attracted some little attention is the alleged taking of Drummond Leonard, a Yazoo City Negro, from the Y. & M. Y. train by white men and the administering to him of a rather sound thrashing. "According to the story Leonard, well-to-do Yazoo City barber, desired to send his two daughters to school at Atlanta. For the purpose he wanted sleeping car accommodations and attempted to reserve them at Yazoo City, where the agent informed him he would, if a sleeper was desired, do well to engage a drawing room in order that the children would not come into contact with other passengers. "According to the story Leonard came to Jackson Sunday afternoon and asked for his sleeper tickets, which the agent refused to sell him. He is said to have becomeignant and to have cited the law. The effect that the agent could not refuse him. He later is said to have obtained a drawing room and placed his daughters on the A. & V. train. "Leonard took the Y. & M. V. train to Yazoo City, and when the train reached Annie, a short distance from Jackson, he is said to have been taken off by some white men of this city, carried into the woods and thrashed, after the whipping he was told to run and it is said made good time obeying orders. "A conversation with a gentleman at Yazoo City, last night, revealed that Leonard returned to his home yesterday morning, that his shop had been closed all day, and the impression prevailed he had left the city for good."

Gen. Isaac Sherwork, member of Congress from Ohio, and a civil war veteran, indented the bill. He said: "I think that upon this monument there should be large statues of Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass." The committee was told that 400,000 colored soldiers were in the American forces during the late war; that 3,000 colored soldiers participated in the Spanish-American war, and that a similar number took part in three other wars, civil war, war of 1812 and the revolutionkry war.

The national Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully urges that in the event of a new or reorganized industrial conference a representative of the 12,000,000 colored people in the United States be appointed. It is submitted that Negroes constitute one-seventh of the Nation's labor supply; that Negroes are becoming an increasing element in the industrial life of the Nation; that there has been and still is extensive mitigation of Negro labor; that the Negro migrant has been subject to unfavorable conditions such as faced the immigrant from Europe; and that economic and other causes are shown in a report of the United States Department of Labor, "Negro Migration, 1916-17," to have caused the migration. In the interest of a fair approach to race relations as an important element of industrial adjustment in the United States, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully urges representation of colored United States citizens.

FIRST NEGRO TO APPEAR BEFORE RY.CARMEN UNION FIRST NEGRO TO APPEAR BEFORE RY.CARMEN UNION Mr. Jordan W. Chambers, business manager from the Coach Cleaners' Union of St. Louis was in Kansas City, Mo., last week where he appeared before the Executive Board of the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen in the interest of the organization of which he is business agent. This young man has the distinction of being the first member of the race to have been invited by this great body to further argue the merits of a resolution of which he was the author and presented at the last labor conference at Jersey City, which has caused much comment among labor leaders all over the country. Mr. Chambers was formally one of the Summer High students and is making a mark in the business world. He is prominently connected with the Elroy Mrg. Company, being vice-president and treasurer of the same. The following is the resolution which embodies the young man's contents and of which might be said, "has brought the bacon home." To the Executive Board of the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen: Whereby the Executive Board will be petitioned to give a square deal to organized labor, and especially to the crafts of work that they claim jurisdiction over and deny members the right of joining said organization for racial reasons that have been adopted in your constitution. Whereas, the influence of the world of affairs in the present and the future of the masses and the laborers is such as to make it necessary for a close and more kindred feeling of sympathy and purpose on the part of all who labor. In this spirit of oneness and purpose can only be most completely achieved when the benefits derived by the efforts of the Organized labor is not predicated on sect, creed or color, but shall rather be a common lot and heritage of all and is in the past the cause of a lack of realization on the part of organized white laborers to keep organized colored laborers out of the organized fold. This has made it possible for the ungrateful employer to exploit the one against the other to a mutual disadvantage of each. Therefore, I make this request upon the Executive Council of the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen to recommend to the Annual Convention of the said International Organization to indorse this request of the Railway Coach Cleaners' Organization No. 16088. Since the Negro has been a factor in Organized labor, a great deal of them have given it a special study and are competent to organize and hinder the various efforts in which they are engaged. Therefore, I request that the Executive Council of the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen indorse competent Negro workers of the various crafts, that they claim jurisdiction over to be employed as Business Agents and Organizers of their Classification of work. The advantage of creating such positions for Negroes to represent the various crafts will make it easier to encourage the Negro to the Trades and Labor Movement, which would be of vital interest to the Labor Movement in general. In the case of the Executive Council of the Brotherhood of Railway Carriers does not know that the Negro as a worker has the utmost confidence in his own representation, and he would be in a better position to encourage his co-worker to affiliate themselves with the Trades and Labor Union. Request of J. W. CHAMBERS, Boston, Mass. Union, Local 10508, St. Louis, CIVIC LEAGUE The Central Civic League will meet Wednesday evening, November 6th, at P. M. at Union Memorial Church. All members are requested to be present and all colored citizens of St. Louis are cordially invited to attend and join us in promoting the welfare of the colored people of our city. ADVISES WHITES TO READ MORE OF OUR PAPERS Virginia Professor Declares They Would Learn The Truth And Be Greatly Benefitted. Says Editorials are Temperate Though Resolute; Uncompromising, Yet Dignified. By Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 29.—Have a heart, good people. The House is divided against itself. It is, written, "That a house divided against itself cannot stand." While Congressman Burns is of the opinion that many race newspapers are doing harm, Dr. Robert T. Kerlin, professor of English of the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va., makes the exclusive statement to the Associated Negro Press concerning newspapers. Starting in its frankness and complimentary to the last degree, Dr. Kerlin says: "I am reading Negro newspapers—reading them by the dozen, reading them by the score, from all parts of the country, from half the states in the Upsilon; papers of every kind, secular, religious, fraternal, institutional. Let me tell you some of my impressions—the impressions of a white man. "First of all, I am profoundly impressed by the unanimity of these papers in their expression of the wrongs, the discriminations and injustices practiced against the colored people by their white neighbors and fellow-citizens. Never, I think, did so many millions of people constituting a racial unit exhibit such a solid front, such unanimity of feeling and purpose. Their reaction to lynchings and the riots of which they have been the victims—to the shame of white America—has been that of one outraged and tortured soul, heroic in forebearance and in suffering. "Then I am impressed by the force and resoluteness of the colored people's contention—also put forth with absolute unanimity for justice, for opportunity, for constitutional rights, and for all that as human beings and patriotic Americans and loyal citizens, they are entitled to." "Such are my impressions, not to proceed further in stating them, that I wish the white people of America generally might go to reading your papers, and do so with a serious mind to get your point of view, to learn how you think and feel on the subjects that so vitally concern us, to know what measures you have to propose to bring about better racial relations and an improvement of conditions with prevention of mob violence and lawlessness. Out of such reading would certainly spring a better understanding, atoning sympathy, sane and surer. co-operation. The question of questions for us as a nation today is racial adjustment. The present condition of distrust and hostile feeling, ill-disguised, if not open and violent, is intolerable to all self-respecting and heartened people. It is utterly opposed to Americanism and to Christianity. I, for one, take my stand for justice, for humanity, and for a square deal. Simply because it is right and following the promptings of my own heart. "Another things I wanted to say about your papers is that they display no little editorial ability, and reflect credit upon the face. Their editorials are often worthy of the ablest white papers, suggest in reasoning, temperate through resolute in tone, uncompromising yet dignified in their demands, throughout showing intellectual strength and moral conviction. "A general reading of the best colored weeklies could not but greatly benefit the white people and produce good results for all Americans." NEW POST AMERICAN LEGION ORGANIZED A new post of the American Legion has been organized in the city. This post has been organized in the "Ville" and is taking care of all the world-war veterans in that part of the city. It is named after Fred Howard, a "Ville" boy who made the supreme sacrifice.

REFUSED USE OF COURTHOUSE FOR CIVIC CONGRESS By American New York Press. Oct. 29 — The crowded population of Lancaster is highly increased at the action of the county commissioners in refusing them permission to hold the Negro Civic Congress In the Court House. They enjoyed this privilege before, but this year when they made the request they received a curt "No." The season for this action, according to several leaders of the colored population of the city, is the come-back of the Republican organization for having dared to oppose Mayer Trout at the primaries. At that time they declared they had not received fair treatment from the chief executive and announced publicly that they intended to oppose his nomination, which they did at the polls, and are now refused the right to hold an open convention on property which they help to maintain by the payment of taxes.

BIG HIT AT BOOKER WASHTON THEATRE Good Singing. Continuous Flow of Furious Fun and Variety of Dancing. Ginger Jack Williams' Stars With Trio of Buck Dancers. No Vulgar Expressions or Uncouth Actions. The combination of performers, under the name of Pal Williams and Company, which was introduced to the Booker Washington Theatre patrons Monday night, has proved to be one of the most entertaining outfits which has ever visited that house. The company possesses all that goes to make up an ideal light comedy concoction; good singing, variety of dancing and a continuous flow of furious fun that does not depend upon vulgar expressions or uncouth actions to win aplause. The dancing is the dominating feature and while every member of the well-balanced company seems to possess a goodly measure of this art, the work of the Wiggans Trio is exceptionally good. This triangle of terpsichoreans consists of the famous Ginger Jack Wiggans, pretty Baby Wiggans and diminutive Chick Cole. When they have concluded their repertoire the patrons have been treated to one of the most varied and artistic buck dancing exhibitions on the stage, as well as a dash of real comedy. The balance of the performance is none the less entertaining. Pal Williams, Frank Tansel and M. Williams keep the fun going. They throw the house into a aft of laughter with a graveyard scene and incidently score a hit as a vocal trio. Madam Williams has an excellent voice and her singing is one of the features. A quartette of singing and dancing girls are always on hand to support the solosists in the several song numbers and their rhythmic movements add pep to the offering. Originality, variety and talent are winning big applause for the combination. Pal Williams' "Dixie Belles" Next Week. The Booker Washington patrons will be pleased to learn that Pal Williams and Company will remain over next week and present another big entertainer. Next week's ball will be "The Dixie Belles" and will be coupled with another side splitting comedy entitled "The Man of Today." Among the special features will be a special act by the Wiggans Trio, headed by Ginger Jack Wiggans, the world champion buck dancer, with a record of 65 separate steps in six minutes' break in the next week. Wiggans will dance a contest with the comical little "Black Jeff." The girl is the prize. There will also be a continuous round of spicy singing and dancing numbers with comedy galore. The cast is talented and another big show is assured. Dancing Taggart Hartgraves will be playing the week of November 38 at Huntington, W. Va., as a festival attraction. He is on the Weber ting. Pearl White will be seen in a new serial at the Booker Washington Theatre beginning Monday, November 10. Gripping situations and scenes, masterful dramatic effects and an all-star cast—these are the attributes that go to make "Paid in Advance," the new Universal super-production to be shown at the Star Theatre this Sunday, a picture that remains in the memory of every motion picture devotee. The locale of the story is the Canadian Northwest, heart of the fur country, and Dawson City, Rhondie, in the stirring days during the gold rush to the Yukon region. An enforced choice between two heartbreaking evils, in the situation that must be surmounted by Dorothy Phillips in the part of Joan Grey. She herself at auction after being told that she must choose between the proprietor of an iniquitous dive and the crowd that frequents it. "Checkere" at the Criterion This Saturday. The great Fox film, "Checkers," will be shown at the Criterion this Saturday. There are many, big spectacular scenes in the film, such as an actual race at one of the large tracks, a thrilling train wreck in which a freight car containing several persons and a race horse apples into a river, and a sensational scene in New York's China town. "The Gamblers" Sunday. Harry T. Morey in "The Gamblers" will be the Criterion attraction on Sunday. The film is different in plot and treatment from any other play or film subject that professes to deal with the same basic theme—finance. It is a visualization of money intrigue in its most interesting phase. The production was adapted from the famous play of the same title by Charles Klein. "Back to God's Country" at the Jost-A-Mere. Nell Shipman in "Back to God's Country" will be at the Jestamere Theatre this Sunday, and Monday. The big pictures just finished a successful run at the New Grand Central. Sixteen varieties of the furry and feathery folk, including bears, lions, tux, porcupines, wolves and deer, are seen in their natural roles in their forest homes. The scenes were photographed in the arctic ice fields and frozen forests north of the fifty-sixth parallel, and near the pole than any other picture. The temperature dropped as low as fifty degrees below zero. One man at his life, another's feet were frozen. At the entire company suffered unold hardships to make this picture salient.

In "The Market of Souls," a new Paramount-Aircraft picture which will come to the Pendleton Theatre, this Sunday and Monday, Dorothy Dallon, the popular star, is said to have a dramatic vehicle of the first rank. Thomas H. Ince supervised the screening of the story, which relates the adventures of Helen Armee, a country trained nurse; who comes to New York to follow her profession. There in the fast set in which her friends, the Howells, are leading lights, she meets men of both the vicious and manly type. Two brothers, Lyle and Temple Benean, are love with her. Lyle is a rounder and attenta to take liberties with Helen. He is foiled by Temple, who is blinded in a tussle with his brother. Helen helps to nurse back his sight again, and a romance is budding, when Lyle revenges himself by telling his brother lies about the girl. Only after the evil brother has died a soldier's death in France does the truth come out and Helen and Temple are made happy. An added attraction for these dates is Back Stage," a screaming bariste. THE MIRACLE MAN ON MARKET STREET COLORED PEOPLE WILL HAYE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THIS GREAT PICTURE AT REDUCED PRICES. "The Miracle Man," which will be the big attraction at the Comet Theatre on Thursday and Friday, November 13-14, was adapted from George, M. Cohan's striking Broadway success by the same name. It has been pronounced one of the few truly compelling stories in the world. The central figure is a white-haired patrish, who lives in the hills near the sea and who has reputed power to heal the sick and crippled, Tom Burke and his band in their haunt in the New York underworld read of his miracles and conceive the idea of capitalizing them for their own gain. So they go A Screen Sermon Of Life's Daily Evils MACK SENNETT'S NEW COMEDY and THE RANGER OF PIKES PEAK to the town where the old man lives and frame up a miracle for him. To their surprise they discover that he really possesses the healing powers accredited to him. Gradually under the beneficent influence of their new environment there is worked a transformation in the hearts of the crooks that make Rose, the gangster's beautiful decoy, the charming girl she is at heart, that evolves, a farm hand out of a dope flend, and finally, brings out the better nature of even the hardened, sophisticated Tom Burke himself. This masterpiece has been seen in but two St. Louis theatres. For four weeks, at 35 and 50 cents admission, people were turned away at the New Grand Central on Grand and Lucas. This record was repeated for two weeks at the Central Theatre, 33 cents admission. The fact that it has not been seen in other houses so far is due to the high rental price. it has been reviewed by critics, the clergy and numerous public organizations and acclaimed a photo-play that every living soul should see. The manager of the Comet Theatre, after reviewing the picture at a special screening felt fortunate in searing a contract for its exclusive run on Market street, by paying more money for it than any other two pictures shown herefore.

"CHILDREN OF THE SUN." CLAIMED TO BE PROPAGANDA By Associated Negro Press OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 29—Some time ago The Smarter Set came out with a new show entitled "Children of the Sun." The play was written after the book, "Children of the Sun," by George W. Parker. The company sold the books between the acts. The book itself is simply a scientific and historical review of the organization and made its first appearance more than a year ago. Recently, however, the Theatrical Managers' Association has placed the sale of the book under ban in all of the white theaters, claiming that it is propaganda and should not be given to the public.

Up to the present many photoplayers are the "Living Classics of the Silent Drama." But it remained, for George Lane Tucker to produce a photoplay that outrivalry anything in the amusement world. It is no small task to attempt to put into words the appeal of his production, "THE 'MIRACLE MAN.'" It takes one by the heart, the head and the eye and plays its harmony. It is a drama of Faith, of Evil, of Good and of Bad. A play of Crooks and Fakers, and of God-seeking souls who at the end come out well rewarded. It is the play that will live in your memory for years to come as the only picture that pictures the supreme cry of the soul made visible. This marvelous production, after a successful run at the New Grand Central Theatre for four weeks, and two weeks at the Central Theatre, will be shown at the Comet Theatre, on 21st and Market streets, on Thursday and Friday, November 13th and 14th, at the lowest price of admission this production will ever be shown; for adults 25 cents, and children 15 cents. The tremendous expense for the production has compelled the producers to set a standard admission price which is the only means of enabling a theatre manager to exhibit this supreme photoplay to his patrons, and the management of the Comet Theatre is confident that his patrons will appreciate such a tremendous offering, paid the biggest money ever paid for a picture heretofore. —Remember the Dates for— "THE MIRI MAN" Thursday Friday November 13-14 SOC AND LOC SOCIETY Mrs. Emma Wright Hibbler of Little Rock, Arkansas, in visiting Mrs. J.

For years Negroes have been working the farms of white owners on shares and when the time came for a settlement, owners have refused to give them itemized statements of their accounts. Negro tenant farmers and share croppers must buy their supplies during the year from the plantation store or some designated store. The system kept the Negro continually in debt, and it is an unwritten law in Arkansas as in many parts of the South that the Negro may not leave the plantation until the debt is paid. One case which will show the economic exploitation is that of a Negro on the plantation of R. B. McCombs, a white man in Ashley County, Arkansas. The Negro's crop was worth $3,222.76, the Negro's share being $1,661.38. McCombs paid the Negro $326 and refused to pay him any more, declaring that the Negro had taken up the balance in goods. The Negro brought suit but failed to obtain a judgment, the jury being white, as is always the case in that part of the country. Another Negro coming from the State Labor Commissioner's office, declared that he had worked 27 acres on shares and that the total value of his crop at present prices was $1,505. The owner of the land had taken all of the crop, had refused a settlement and the Negro had walked 122 miles to Little Rock, hoping to get a lawyer, being absolutely penniless. Many similar cases could be cited and it was a determination to protest these conditions that led to the formation of the organization which is claimed by the whites to have "planned a massacre." So far as I was able to discover, after a careful investigation on the ground, there is no basis for belief that a massacre was planned by Negroes and, in point of fact, it was the Negroes who were massacred. Negroes outnumber whites 6 to 1 in Phillips County, and if a massacre had been planned the casualty lists would not have been 25 Negroes as against 5 whites. Many white people expressed doubts of the truth of the "massacre" stores sent out. It appears that the purpose of those stories was to cloak the robbery of Negroes by white landlords and agents. Prices charged by landlords and plantation stores as compared with those in the open market: Dacon (cheapest grade, known as sour belly) $50 lb. $20 Mary Jane Molasses, 2.00 gal. $10 Compound land $56 lb. $2 Sack of flour, 24 lb. $2.50 $1.25 In one case a Negro was charged $50 for two second-hand plows which cost, when new, $16 each. In another case a set of rope plow lines which cost 25 cents each were sold for $3.50 to the Negro. In another case a Negro was charged $58 for a tow sack and four bushels of cotton seed, the value of which was $4.00. In another case a Negro was charged $52.60 express for moving of nine pieces of furniture 100 miles by freight. The actual cost could not have been over $5. There have been numerous lynchings in the past when Negroes have attempted to obtain settlements from landlords and the farmers' organization was a combine for the purpose of protesting against such outrageous conditions as those.

Literally riddled with bullets and shell particles, he still manages to look life square in the eye and SMILE! If the stitches ever come out of Jack Mason, or the silver plates in his head and body get loose, he'll naturally FALL APART. But do you think the contemplation of such a disaster bothers him or chokes the laughter in his heart? Not on your daguerreotype: "Serg. Jack" not only rings up a normal number of grins and chuckles every day, but he SINGS AT HIS WORK—sings the folksongs of his Race in a rich and pleasing bartone which helped to coax $5,000,000 out of the American pockets for Liberty and Victory Bonds, and has helped him to persuade many an "almost, persuaded" to enlist in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. Mason received all of his wounds in the service of his country. He got all but ten of them in the single engagement of Belleau Wood, "The Gettytsburg of Europe." The rest he achieved: in the Philippines, Mexico and China, during his fifteen years' service in the regular Army. He has practically all of the decorations and acknowledgments of courage, efficiency and resourcefulness that the grateful nations could bestow. He wears the Distinguished Service Cross of America; the Croix de Gueur and Medallie de Legion d'Honneur of France and a British badge for courage. He also wears a special Medal issued by the United States Treasury Department for his work on behalf of the various war loans. Sergeant Jack has three silver plates in his head, three in his left shoulder, one in his right shoulder, and three others in his legs. He has long since lost count of the stitches taken in his body at one time or another. He is as full of holes as a ton of Swiss chees—YET HE LIVES.

SUPERIOR TO COPAIBA & INJECTIONS SANTAL CAPSULED M1DY RELIEVES IN 24 HOURS NEGROES BUYING REAL ESTATE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY CHIGAGO, Oct. 29 — The Associated Negro Press survey for the week discloses unusual activity along reality lines in every section of the country. Never in the history of the Race has there been such large realty deals closed and contracts let, for construction of residences, business blocks, theatres, churches and schools. Notwithstanding the high cost of living, Colored people are showing surprising financial resources. Everywhere there is a growing confidence in financial cooperation and co-operative investments. In some instances, amounts range from $500,000 to one million dollars. CLEARING HOUSE NEGLECTS COLORED BANKS Attention has been very respectfully called to the Clearing House Association of Norfolk, Virginia, to the fact that in their monthly statement that three Colored banks with resources of more than a million dollars, have not been included up to date in the general report, it is believed that the suggestion will have the desired effect upon the Association. The Conference of the National League on Urban conditions held. In Detroit, has been watched with much interest by people throughout the country because of the very constructive work carried on by this organization. Welfare workers of both races from every section of the country were in attendance and the results of the conference will have almost beneficial effect in a national way upon the problems of Race adjustment. Great interest is manifested throughout the country in the Curtis resolution before the judiciary committee of the United States Senate for investigation of lynchings and riots. In a statement to the Associated Nero Press, Senator Curtis says: "You may rest assured it, will give me pleasure to do what I can to secure favorable action. The subcommittee do not feel that they can take the matter up until after action has been had on the Peace Treaty. There is a question of jurisdiction which they want to carefully look into. I feel that because of the importance of the question that the United States government should make a thorough investigation." It is difficult to comprehend the necessity for having the investigation wait on the Peace Treaty. Investigation of various other kinds are now in progress and organization throughout the country are writing their senators and representatives urging that every influence be brought to bear for immediate consideration. The question of "jurisdiction" is being discussed, but the majority of opinion is to the effect that the Senate has a very good right to act. By Associated Negro Press: WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 29.—The National Race Congress in its address to the country says in part: "Patiently we have submitted to the many acts of injustice heaped upon us by an intolerant element of this country, and still counselling law and order and the observance of all forms of good government we say now without reservation and with firm conviction in the justice of our position, that when it becomes a matter of self-protection—a question of life and existence—the man who does not rise in his own defense is not worthy of citizenship in a Republic like these United States. "If this nation desires to maintain its proud position among the nations of the world and prove that it is a democracy in deed as well as in word, it must carry out the letter and the spirit of its constitution." Any government which has the right to make its citizens bear arms in its defense must by the same token have the power to protect them. A nation which proposes a democratic progress for the protection of the weak and oppressed people of the world should inaugurate the same program at home. Moreover, we believe it to be in the interest of good government and in harmony with the spirit which gave birth to this nation that every intelligent man and woman, North and South, should have the right of suffrage. "Notwithstanding the fact that no race representatives was invited to sit in its councils, we view with gratification the effort now being made in this city by the conference called by the President of the United States, to effect an adjustment of the labor troubles existing throughout the country, and respectfully recommend the adoption of similar action on all grievous public questions. "The migration) of the Colored people now going on from the several southern states is primarily due to the lack of safety of the home and is indicative of the fact that the Negro is sensible of the economic value of his labor. This movement clearly demolishes to the South that all forms of proscription, Jim Crow cars, segregation, and lawlessness must cease; and better school facilities, better housing conditions, and better wages must be provided; if the migration is to be checked. The inflow of a large number of new groups to the congested cities of the North calls for the active cooperation of all concerned, so that, as soon as possible, the newcomers may be assimilated to their new environment. "We advocate education to law; strict morality; temperate habits; the practice of thrift and economy; the acquisition of education and property and counsel our people everywhere to take advantage of all educational opportunities offered them. We call upon all state authorities to make equal and adequate appropriations for school buildings, salaries for teachers and provide for a minimum school term of six months."
