Story Of a Hall Dollar

There is indignation galore among
the parents of East Lake, and it is due
to the indignity they allege was thrust
upon their offspring by a teacher in
the school there AS the story goes
the teacher had a precious half dollar
which got itself lost, strayed or stolen.
The director of the young idea alleges
that it was the latter. because she laid
the money on her desk and that it
could not take wings and fly away Of
it's own volition. She put the question
regarding the whereabouts to her pu-
pills. but everyone of them, from the
biggest to the littliest and all the way
between asserted their ignorance.
Then that teacher made a move over
which a man would have deliberated
for some time-whether it was better
to incur the ill-will of those pupils and
| incidentally that of their parents by
casting black suspicion upon them for
the paltry sum of fifty cents or to lose
| the amount outright. But she, with
out hesitation took the former course
She not only kept the tots prisoners
in the school until darkness had falleT
i upon the earth. but she submitted then
to the indignity of being searched. i
\ all reports be true, she could give {;
I custom inspector cards and spades
3 upon the gentle art of searching
Pockets and lunch baskets. so the stor,
goes. were recklessly turned inside out
and the boys and girls even were re
uuired to take off their shoes, regard
1 less of wicked holes which have such
habit of appearing in their stocking
when least expected, in the teacher
q fruitless search for her whilom hal
dollar According to history, 1t is stil
among the missing, and the indignatio
n of the pupils still runs high.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
"Let Us Alone

LET US Alone
From the New York Times.
Mr.. Talbot. of South Carolina has
the House of Representa-
tives by assuring the gentlemen from
other States that only the people of
the South understand the negro or are
capable of solving the race problem to
the satisfaction of all in interest, and
that any interference from outside will
only tend to disturb the delightful
family relation now existing between
the whites and blacks and delay the
millennium. This is familiar talk, and
to say that we have heard it ad naus-
cam is not to speak too strongly. The
trouble is that the people of other sec
lions are beginning to understand the
negro problem in the South so well
that the Southern political leaders are
rendered uneasy by the intelligence
with which their expedients to dis
franchise the negroes while still count
ing them for purposes of representa-
ton are discussed in the North and
West. This is the weak point of their
position.
There is no doubt much TO be said
I'm favor of a restricted franchise when
the restrictions are imposed impartially
upon all who do not know enough to
vote intelllgently. but it requires great
ingenuity to devise an argument to ex-
cuse the representation in Congress Of
some millions of negroes who are not
permitted to vote. If the South deems
it essential to the protection of its ma
terial interests that its citizenship
should be cut down one-half or some
other large proportion, it should not
expect double representation for every
white man who votes. That the party
managers want it is natural enough,
but it is the habit of the professional
politicians to want more than they are
entitled to. and this seems to be .ns
case in the present instance.
