"THE average negro" says Chief of
Police Speers of Kansas City, makes
far better witness than the average
white person, except in cases where a
fellow man of color is on trial for
stealing from a white man. The negro
believes that crime of this kind is no
crime at ALL The white man he con-
siders his lawful prey. Bat let seri-
Gus crime be committed murder, a
daring robbery or an outrage and the
negro who learns anything of it i'm
parts his knowledge 10 the authorities
with alacrity. And in an event of this
kind, even though the criminal be his
dearest friend, or even a relative, he
will not be spared, In fact, o negro
will testify against enc of his own
race, if he be guilty of murder or out
rage, with more freedom than would n
So true is this that we frequently get
most of our knowledge about the most
serious crimes that are committed
through negroes calling at the station
and telling us what they know about
them"

THE COLLEGE DIPLOMATS ARE At 1T
The college diplomats have begun TO promote

usual The task Of arranging baseball sched-
ule in the spring is generally accomplished with
out any severe strain upon the epistolary re-
sources of the various clubs. Whether owing to
yerna lassitude or to the diffidence of mex
perience the negotiations are won't to proceed
without resort TO arms or even TO an ultimatum,
and the public knows nothing about them until
on some preferably fine afternoon it is invited
to repair to a more or less inconyenient field of
battle and cheer for its favorites. Lofty and
aninating exhibitions OF verbal feint parry,
thrust and counter are usually reserved for the
exclusive benefit of the football season, and the
community was therefore unpepared for the
epistolary combat which is now in progress be-
tween Yale and Harvard, with Princeton look
