H. Coleman is founder and president. There were twenty-four graduates and the class typified in its beauty and absolutely flawless personal appearance the valuable lessons that had been imbbed from the broad curriculum of the Hair-Vim Vogue and School. As an indication that the courses offered by Dr. Coleman is not confined to the gentler sex, the exceptionally fine class included one young man. The class colors were blue and gold.

Finley Wilson, the eloquent and magnetic editor of The Washington Eagle, was presented as master of ceremonies. His introductory speeches proved to be models of the forensic art.

She urged the graduates to emulate the splendid example set by Dr. Coleman in thrift, energy and preparedness. "Look as well as you can," she said, "for good looks often unlock the door of success. The world is wont to judge men and women by their personal appearance, as well as by their character and competence; hence, it is the keynote of your calling to admonish each individual that he owes it to himself to make the very best of what Dame Nature has given him to build upon."

PEARSON'S MAKES SOUTHERNER SQUEAL PEARSON'S MAKES SOUTHERNER SQUEAL WRITES LETTER AND GETS HOT REPLY Pearson's Magazine for May carried a vitriolic attack on American Democracy as practiced on Americans of African descent. It drew the fire of a certain small calibre Oklahoma in the form of a letter which we reprint together with the reply of the editor of Pearson's: Wagoner, Oklahoma. Editor Pearson's: I wrote you a letter asking that you say something about that infernal question, that nasty problem known as the nigger question. You ignored my letter, but I see that you have quite a piece in the May number about Southern lynchings of the black murderers and rapists. The fact that you don't know anything about the question, and that you have never been South, and have no intention of visiting that section, that you might secure first-handed information, makes no difference. Nearly all American editors write about things they know nothing of, for the average editor isn't interested in the truth, but is, like every one else in this land of dollars, interested in circulation, in dividends. But even if you don't know anything of the subject and have the Englishmen's prejudice in favor of niggers as opposed to at least Southern white people, I hope you may write many articles of bitterness illustrated by the brush of some South hater, because that is a sure way to stimulate interest in the question by the real thinkers and patriots both North and South, and that's the surest way to hasten the final solution, the only solution, i.e., the migration of the Negro. J. R. MUNROE. I have been all over the South from Memphis to New Orleans and from Old Point Comfort to the Rio Grande, I am not an Englishman, and have no English prejudices, and if I know less about "niggers" and "Southern white people" than Mr. Munroe I know that every bit of knowledge I get in life deepens my horror of injustice and cruelty and helps me to understand that black murders and rapists (sic!) are infinitely better than the whites who would lynch a pregnant colored woman (as told in the May Pearson's) because she has denounced the murdering of her husband.

Westward bound to test out the strength of the formidable American league clubs in that half of the circuit, the Yankees already have run afoul one defeat at Cleveland, and the White Sox have advancing by lagging two structures from the Athletics. The Giants dropped backward a full game when the Reds fell on the Braves for a victory and the Cards whacked out a win over the New Yorkers. The Yankees are on the hardest stretch of the season. If they can survive the western trip, they will have of any club to step out with the hunting. The Giants now have their great opportunity to turn the season into success.

OLD JINX PICKS ON DARCY BOYS OF AUSTRALIA By Fred Turbyville Not even Jack Darpmer cornered the lightheart more successfully than did Les Darcy, the famous Australian middleweight when he invaded America a year ago. And then a sudden illness put the final knockout on the Australian flash before he had the opportunity of showing fans here just what he could do. Back home a younger brother took up the task of writing "Darcy" prominently in the archives of the boxing world. His name was Frank Darcy. He was only a lad but he was making strides to the front as rapidly as did Les. Today word reaches us that he, too, is dead—a victim of pneumonia following flus. Had the Darcy brothers both lived the boxing world today would have three sensations comparing with the greatest axe of Darcy. In their classes they were as good as the Utah boy who just sent Willard to his Kansas farm. 19,650 SAW TITLE BOUT: RECEIPTS WERE $410,732 TOLEDO, O₂, July 10—Exactly 19.- 650 persons paid their way into the Ray View Park arena July 4, to see the heavyweight championship bout.

The quarterly statement of earnings of the Lackawanna Steel company is always awaited with interest in Wall street, as it is the first of the reports of the large steel companies to make its appearance. The report issued on Wednesday, showed a deficit of $233,686 for the second quarter of 1918. For the first six months of 1919, the upheaval after charges and demolition amounted to $974,022, equal to $2.77 per share, against $6,782,833, equal to $19.32 per share, in the first six months of 1918. The statement reflects past rather than current conditions. After years of experimenting a Misurian asserts he has perfected a process for extracting potash from cottonseed bulbs.

FRENCH Following a senate testimonial meeting in his behalf, Fred M. Wilcox, Appleton, yesterday afternoon, was reappointed and confirmed as a member of the industrial commission to succeed himself. The upper house had refused, 10 to 12, to confirm Gov. E. L. Phillip's appointment of Fred H. French. While nothing was said against French in his ability to represent the laboring classes on the board efficiently, many senators, including Wilcox Benford, Conant, and Skowrox, spoke highly of the work done by Wilcox during his six years on the commission. Bith favored French on the ground that the commission already has three lawyers and needs a labor representative. Gov. Phillip, in reappointing Wilcox, issued the following statement. "Since I have been governor many requests have come to me from organized labor asking that I appoint one of their number on the industrial commission. Inasmuch as the work of the company deals almost entirely with labor, I felt responsible and I looked around for a man in the ranks of organized labor who would fill the bill. I found such a man in the person of Fred H. French of Milwaukee and I appointed him to succeed it to fill the role. The senate did not see fit to appoint a majority of the members seem to express a preference for Mr. Wilcox, and I have therefore reappointed him." The senators met the appointments with applause. Rules were suspended immediately and Wilcox was confirmed unanimously. He expire June 30. 1235. He was appointed in 1913 by Gov. F. E. McGovern. R-34ENROUTE HOME; WIND AIDS HER Dirigible Averages 55 Miles an Hour After "Hop Off" From Mineola; Due in England in 70 Hours MINEOLA, L. I., July 10.—The British dirigible R-34, starting on her return voyage at midnight, was reported about 300 miles out at 7:10 a. m. today. She is averaging about 55 miles an hour. The decision to start last night instead of waiting until 4 o'clock this morning—as announced yesterday—commander, by paj. G. F. Scott, commander, at 10:15 p. It was occasioned by receipt of an official weather bureau bulletin urging haste because of the approach of a storm. By 11 o'clock the officers and crew had donned their flying clothes of sheepskin and everything was in readiness. A 25-pound sack of mail was placed board. Lieut. J. J. Quinn, in charge of the departure, gave the signal to the 500 men clinging to the guy ropes and dolls to swing her around to head to the wind. The big airship was slowly turned until she pointed toward New York city. At 11:40 the balloon was signalled, and the hydrogen gas, which had been flowing into the balloonettes thru a ten inch nose, was cut off. At 11:55 bells thiked throughout the length of the craft. Then "Let go!" When the airship passed over Brooklyn at a height of about, 2,000 feet she was picked out of the darkness by a number of searchlights from the Sperry building. The total distance is about 3,200 miles, 2,200 of which were over open air. A canvas tent erected inside the image tent caused from dust, blite standing between runs.

Badger 6200 AMES WARNS SCHOOL DISTRICT CLERKS UN EXECUTED AFFIDAVITS ON CLOSEING WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF PUBLIC MONEY STOUGHTON, July 10.—Sylvanus Ames, superintendent of rural schools, has received some annual reports of district school clerks who have failed to execute an affidavit provided on page 8 of the blank reports, lack of which would cause the schools to lose their public money. These reports will be returned for correction. Nearly all the schools have a session less than the required eight months because of influenza. The affidavit must state they closed because of communi- nicable disease or other causes beyond control of the school board. Mr. Ames has found that in some rural schools, suit has been threatened against boards to recover salary paid teachers when recurrence of influenza caused a second closing. The first was on order of the state board of health and some taxpayers believe school boards should have waited for a second order. The state department of education has ruled, however, that teachers' regular salaries had to be paid and that district boards had full authority to close school because of contagion. Another school fight in the eastern district is over the question of town clerk also becoming school district clerk. Mr. Ames has obtained an opinion of the attorney general that this is not illegal, but the controversy may be carried further. As was predicted in Wall street several days ago, the directors of the Keystone Tire company at their regular meeting on Wednesday declared a stock dividend of 15 per cent and also gave the shareholders the privilege to subscribe to a block of new stock at the rate of one new share for each three now held. The price of the new stock will be $40 per share. It is rumored that the directors of American Locomotive will when they next meet to act upon dividends seriously consider raising the rate to $2 quarterly on the common stock. Midvale Steel's report for the quarter-ended June 30 last should be made public Aug. 6. And there is reason to expect that net profits will at least on par with the earnings of $1.37 as share, the first quarter after everything, including taxes and heavy charges for depreciation and depletion.

JOB WELL UNDER WAY CONCRETE POURING ON COUNTY PAVING TO BE COMPLETED NEXT WEEK STOUGHTON, July 10.—About 109 feet of the 1,600 foot concrete paving on North Page street from the city limits inward, had been "poured" last night by Fess & Fess of Madison, contractors under supervision of W. H. Sommers, chairman of the Dane county highway committee. The job will be finished next week. The county street and Dunkirk avenue the county is building a 28-foot roadway. Concrete was laid on Dunkirk avenue from the southern city limits to the railroad subway, about 700 feet, and construction of the earth shoulders is all that remains. These are four feet wide and the concrete is 18 feet wide. The two jobs will cost about $11,000. It is estimated in Wall street that the forthcoming second quarter report for 1919 of Allis-Chalmers will, after all deductions, including taxes and contingent reserves, show net of approximately $1,000,000, a slight increase over the previous year. This rate of net would mean $11 a share annually on the $26,000,000 common, as against $11.06 in 1918. Undeclared back dividends on the preferred have been reduced to 2½ per cent, and there is a feeling that this will be paid off by the spring of 1920, possibly earlier. The dividends amounted to approximately $18,300,000 compared with $17,251,117 on March 31 and $23,153,703 on Dec. 31, 1918. It is that the crowd behind American Bosch Magneto are buying the stock with the knowledge that the directors will raise the dividend rate next month. Earnings are running at an annual rate of $18 a share after all taxes and charges. An $8 dividend rate is suggested. It is asserted on the street that a change in control of the Crucible Steel company has actually taken place according to the gossip in the street, it is believed that W. H. Childs, president of the Barrett Manufacturing company, will be the leading influence in the company's management Also, according to the reports, it is believed that the new management will from time to time declare extra dividends on the common shares in view of the financial position of the company.

THE SCANDAL MONGER Next to the Stool Pigeon, if not equal to it, the most dreaded and contemptible creature in any decent community is the Seandal Monger or Social Scavenger. It can generate and circulate more unadulterated hell in five minutes than all the host of angels ean quench in eternity. The Seandal Monger is the highest, most finished and at the same time the lowest and most shame- less type of gossip or purveyor of vicious personali- ties. It is the common backyard-garden variety of gossip what the highly trained musical artist is to the m@re beginner, ‘To produee it, requires not only a native aptitude, but long training supple. mented by a suitably vivious environment. Like the toadstool or fungus it thrives and reaches its highest stage of development in a damp measmic and noisesome atmosphere, Neither plant nor ani- mal, it is a “‘thing’’ of uncertain origin and mis: erable finish ‘The natural prey of thiy foul eaterer to human weaknesses are young girls just budding into wo- manhood and others, who have before them a life of promise, Yet men and women of maturer years, even gray haired grandfathers and grandmothers are not Wholly immune to their vile attacks.

Upon its long slimy tongue, a tit-bit of evil report is rolled like a bon-bon until it loses its savor by constant re- peatings. In itself it supposes the entire world is unclean.

TREATMENT OF THE NEGRO ‘There are many people in this country who, to pnt it mildly, do not care much what is done to the Negro inthe South, Lynehing they naturally abhor, but as to distran-edueational opportunities they are, to speak plainly, indifferent. They dodge their responsibility by saying that they guess if they lived in the South they would do what the Southerners are doing. Their attitude is not to be commended, because it really hurts the Negro, but it is intelligible and it is not afirma tively hostile But if these people, in a sense, condone the de- nial, to the Negro, of his constitutional rights, they do not condone hypoerisy in the matter. Speciti- cally, they have no use for protestations of an almost passionate sympathy for oppression of raves clyewhere, such as President Wilson has so frequently uttered, when accompanied, as in his cast, by & caginess toward the state of the Negro in the South where his electorial votes come from In Paris as a journalist, Mr, Du Bois, editor of the Crisis, started a movement for a Pan-African congress. “Impossible,” said an officer of the American mission, to whom he applied; “the French government would not permit it." Mr. Du Bois took the matter up with the French, American denied passports. ‘The net result,” Mr. Du Bois writes, “was that Clemenceau, prime minister of France, gave us permission te hold the Pan-African Congress in Paris." It was held de. spite the obstructions placed in its way by the Democratic administration Mr. Wilson can be as humanitarian as any one with regard to the oppression of Jugo-Slavs, but naturally he does not want the treatment of the Negroes by the Southern states stirred up abroad —or, for that matter, at home, Altogether, the indignities heaped upon onr Negro troops by the army con stitutes w shameful chapter in the history of the war : One does not have to be a Negrophile to feel disgust for the lack of sineerity in the President's talk about the rights of the oppressed, and for the obvious political reason behind his unwillingness to espouse the dapanese demand for racial equal- ity ‘The Solid South is his political meal ticket New Bedford (Mass.)
