How One Texas Organization Has
Kept tho Question Alive.
WACO, Tex, July 16.-Four years aso
Waco elected mayor upon a "muni-
cipal ownership" platform. The CITY
council the next year submitted the
question OF the city water and light
plant. BY vote of four to one the peo-
pie said "build and operate" Then the
Bell Water Company-the private cor
poration having the contract to fur
nish water-began a canvas for a new
contract and the aldermen have de-
ferred and deferred, with nothing done.
Last winter, during the city campaign,
the Central Labor Council questioned
all the candidates for mayor and alder
men and got their written committa1 to
the cause OF municipal ownership. Yet
they presented q new contract with the
Bell Company. The people felt 80 out
ragged about it that the council shifted
the responsibility by ordering another
election, and on June 30 the people
again gave majority vote for building
and installing their own. plants.
Organized labor has kept the question
alive and nursed it into real life: Let

CHARGES AGAINST FISCHER.

Those were serious cha rges that
Thomas White, the employment agent,
brought against AldermaE In George
Fischer at the Monday eve hing meet
ing OF the City Council. Why Mr..
White should wait five years to spring
them can not be understood. He
charged Mr.. Fischer with holding up
his license for the past two months,
because Fischer had an unjust bill
against White.
Imagining that Fischer was doing
him the injury, Mr.. White sprang his
sensational charges. IN Justice to Mr..
Fischer it should be said THAT he did
not speak to one member of the coun-
ell, not even to Alderman Trevillion,
about Mr.. Whites license. It was
Alderman Trevillion alone who hung
up Mr.. Whites license, and Mr. Ire
Wilton has been opposed Ito granting
him a license for several Years. AS a.
matter Of fact Mr.. White Wals not justi-
fed in attaching Mr.. FISCHER. Now
that charges OF bribery have been
made it is sincerely hobed that the
fullest investigation be hAd The COM

A MASTERFuL WOMAN.

A woman who is coming to be the
foremost feminine figure Of her time
Is Miss Margaret Haley of Chicago.
This woman swung the big conven-
ton Of the National Educational asso-
citation last week against such giants
as President Eliot Of Harvard and
Butler Of Columbia
It was at the business meeting Of the
directors. The college presidents want
ed the nominating committee appoint
ed by the president. Then Miss Haley
came to the front. She said:
"This association is composed largely
OF women, and this is an attempt to
shut us OUT
The debate waxed warm. Parlfa-
mentary tactics were resorted to. Miss
Haley is somewhat Of a parliament
arian herself. The Chicago woman
stood her ground and won.
Then she made fight for an appro-
prtation Of $1,000 to investigate the
economic status Of school teachers.
Her protest was fought bitterly. Miss
Haley won again.
This is not Miss EIaley's first VIC
tory.
A couple Of years ago tho school

their wages because OF the condition

BLACK AND White.

After all, this negro question about
which the daily newspapers are max
ing so prodigious an outcry is, in its
essentials, working class question.
A certain proportion Of the white
people Of the United States are deter
mined that man with a black skin
must be ever and always a newer Of
wood or drawer of water. His brain
may have the genius of Dumas or a
Frederick Douglas, but if in it's veins
flows a trace OF blood he is condemned
to occupations that stunt and dwarf
his mentality.
North and South alike this condition
exists If the problem seems the more
acute in the old slave States it is only
manding. The spirit which condemns
the black man to his own restricted
sphere, industrially as we'll as socially,
exists quite as much among the whites
north as south OF Mason and Dixons
line.
So far as there has been any effort
in the main proceeded from men out
side of what we call the 1aboring class
from clergymen, educators, Journal
lists, capitalists. But Indifference to it
on the part OF workingmen would be
grave blunder.
Race prejudice is easily transformed
into class prejudice. The spirit that
says the negro may not hope to become
a lawyer, teacher, educator or banker
save for the service Of his own race
will soon say the same Of the Rus
sian, the Hungarian, the Jew. II a
man OF SURPRISING talents and earnest
industry may not rise above the dead
level Of his race, we shall soon find
that 1t will be equally hard for. him, to
surmount the boundaries of his class.
Indeed, today class spirit no less than
race prejudice is becoming character
istic of American society.
If you want to know what this means
to the negro of trained intellect get
Professor Du Bots pathetic book 1.-THE
Souls of Black Men," To imagine what
it may yet mean to workingmen you
have only to translate his stories into
terms Of your own class.
It is an excellent thing that the labor
movement in the South is taking the
negro into full communion. That may
be the beginning Of the most effective
work for the correction Of an evil that
nenaces the rights and liberties and
the souls of white as we'll as black
workingmen.
