they violate that code of ethics which
even prize fighters and bullies respect.
They would make themselves appear
great by endeavoring to belittle the
work of DR.. Washington, and to ac-
complish this they resort to methods
not inconsistent with their ideas OF
common decency and fair play. To
illustrate: A few weeks ago the color
ed Students of Harvard University en-
gagged certain public parlors on whose
walls hangs DR.. Washington's picture,
together with pictures of other men
who have served their race. Because
DR.. WaShingtCn'S picture is so dis
played, these parlors are an eye-sore
to The Guardian, so the editor and
one or two of his associates appoint
themselves a committee to plead with
the Harvard students net to have their
reception as proposed, only to be told
by the students that they preferred to
be allowed to judge of that matter for
themselves. Failing in this The
Guardian coterie waited on several Of
the young ladies invited to attend this
reception and tried to persuade them
not to go, but were told to mind their
own business.
''The Boston branch of the Business
League arrange to give a banquet in
honor Of DR. Washington, and again
The Guardian promoters busy them
selves button-holing those invited to
attend the banquet, beSeeching them
to stay away.
Failing IN their efforts to array the
Negroes against DR.. Washington, they
tIy another scheme Washington is
soaring too far above them, and they
would pluck some feathers from his
wings so that he might fly only at an
ordinary pitch
How better can we dc this, they con-
spire, than by poisoning the minds of
the southern white people against
him? This is their next move, and
to communicate their ill-cOnceived de-
sign, base and baseless letters regard
Erivate affairs were sent to many of
the leading white newspapers in the
South-the Atlanta Constitution and
Montgomery Advertiser included.
E'Is this the tactics of honorable men
engaged in a worthy and righteous
cause? If so let me learn patriotism
of Benedict Arnold and loyalty of
judas Iscariot.
''NC one regrets more than myself
trying TO create among members OF
the race. This they consider their
mi ssion, however, and to accomplish
it l shall have to say of them as the
old lady said of the devil: They are
certainly industrious.'

Mr.. Robert w. Taylor, financial sec

eu through washington few days ago
en- route to his work in the North.
Mr. Taylor is graduate cf the Tuske-

written much. His appearances be-
fore colored audiences, representative
of the r1pest and best in American

WOmEN FOR HAYES
ConVentians Conference.-The
Afro American Council Scored
Representative Colored People
Should Call at 66e White House
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Why this Outburst against Lawyer
Hayes, of Richmond, because he
delgned to express himself. on the dis
franchisement Of his people in the
South, especially at his home, the Jim
Crow cars, ETC., ETC.? His utterances
were his and he alone is responsible
To our way of thinking, they were
very OppOrtune, coming Immediately
on the wake of delegation who called
on the President to express sympathy
and Offering to relieve him of the en-
barrassment Of troublesome candidates
for office. and s6ggsting that all such
candidates first be passed upon and
recommended by the Great Afro-Amer-
lean Council The papers reported
that the President didn't give his
opinion; probably if he had the dele
gatiCn would have left his presence
Sadder but wiser men. We read that
a proposed convention is to be held in
Alabama to denounce Hayes, and to
assure the white people that the color
ed people are devoted to them, and
that they do not approve of what the
lawyer said. Let us hope this is
false report; surely the colored people
there have troubles enough CT their
own, and as the politicians say, need
to saw wood. At least let the Negro
here at the Capital, (where there is
as much prejudice as elseWhere,) speak
out, even though all may not approve,
he is at least safe from being remOUed
quietly. Another Negro in New York
suggests that Negroes remain away
from the receptions held at the White
House; although at these functions
one comes in contact with the China
man, the Italian, the Turk, the Jew,
the Indian and nearly every ether
people; still, the Negro, regardless of
the fact that he is a part OF the Amer
lean people, soldier and man, must
not go, because by his presence some
white man or woman is embarrassed;
his official position must play no part
in the matter. Just think of a few
colored men saying these thingsi AL
though they are being disfranchised,
Disseminated against on cars, and be-
ing crowded out of every place, even
in the industrial and mechanical world.
The women should like some of these
writer's to know that they are a part
Of the race, and that they intend to
agitate and to protest against these
outrages, and to say further that they
are really growing tired of these self
appointed ap0logists speaking for them
or telling them what to do.

ORDINANCE NO as.

An ordinance to submit to the voters of
the City of Pullman, Washington, at
its next general city election, which
will be held in said city on the 9Th day
of December, 1903, the question of
whether the city shall or shall not sell
its electric light works.
Whereas, in accordance with the law
in such cases and provided, the city
council of the city of Pullman, did on
the 22nd day of October, 1908, at reg
ular meeting of said city council, duly
pass Resolution No. 10, wherein it is de-
clarsd that the city electric light works
of said city cannot be operated by said
city OF Pullman so as to pay the costs
and expenses of operation, and interest
on the capital invested therein, and the
necessary depreciation thereof, and that
the same threatens to become burden
some charge upon the taxpayers of said
city, and said Resolution was thereafter
duly published according to law, and the
same ia now in full force and effect,
therefore:
The City Council of the City of Pull
man do ordain as follows:

Cause For THANKSGIVING.

1t is fitting that there should be
one day in the year set aside for
general thanksgiving. 1t is also
fitting that it should come at the
time of year it does. President
Roosevelt and the governors of the
various states, according to GUS
tom older than the nation itself,
have set aside next Thursday as a
holiday and day of general thanks
giving. No matter how hard the
times there are always some things
for which the nation, the state and
the people may truly be thankful.
This year the nation, and in par
ticular Spokane and the people of
the Inland Empire, have special
causes for thankfulness. Never
has the nation as a whole been
more prosperous than during the
year now drawingt to close. Never
have the Pacific Northwestern states
been so prosperous as during the
current year. The northwest leads
the nation, and Spokane and her
tributary territory leads the north
west. We have indeed much to be
thankful for.
During the past year, notwith-
standing some unfavorable devel-
opments the volume Of real estate
transactions and building opera
tions has far exceeded all previous
records. There has been a large
immigration of desirable citizens
and settlers; crops have been good;
farmers and people are prosperous,
and the volume of wholesale and
retail trade has been unprecedent.
ed. Bank clearings and postoffice
business testify to this unparalleled
prosperity in no mistakeable terms.
Trade during the past week has
been the heaviest in the history of
the city, with the exception of hol-
iday week. Wholesalers report
that already there is demand for
holiday goods and notions far in
excess of any other record for SO
early in the season. Many lines
bid fair to be exhausted long before
the ruch for Christmas goods be-
gins, and they laid in much larger
stocks at the beginning of the sea-
son than ever before.
Truly, the people of the city and
of the Inland Empire have much
to be thankful for. The Trade can
wish this people nothing better than
that the year to come may be as
prosperous as has been the year
now drawing to such a successful
close Trade.

The Preparatory preliminary de
bate was held last Thursday after
noon. Two teams were chosen, one
to meet the Preparatory School of
the University of Idaho, and one to
meet the Walla Walla High School.
The preliminary as a whole was
very good, despite the fact that the
participants had less than a week
in which to make preparation.
There were FIVE teams and each
debated phase of the question sub
mitted by Idaho: Resolved, that
the punitive clause of the fourteenth
amendment to the Federal Consti-
tuition should not be enforced, it
being agreed, first, that the clause
has not been rendered unnecessary
by any other part of the constitu-
ton, and second, that the regulation
OF suffrage in several states is i'm
peratively necessary.

BETRAYlNG THE r

According to the Reno Journal, Car
son Appeal and Podunk Bombardino, a
traitor could not breath the pure air
Of Democracy, Popocracy, S~ilverocracy,
or what in thunder the ants do call
themselves.
1t is refreshing, however, to find in
the ranks of the oppositionists a clear
note of truth and courage such as that
sounded by the Reno Ledger, the most
Straightforward and untrammeled or
gan of Democracy in the State:
1.-The Ledger has no strings on it.
It is independent and fearless and Is
ready to expose politicians who would
betray loyal party men and reward
traitors Men who violate pledges de-
serve severe criticism and are liable
to get it before the Ledger gets
through"

Beef Steers-The run of fat cattle
was far from heavy this morning, but
the receipts we're largely made up Of
common to medium kinds Of half fat
corr fed stuff. Buyers started out
bidding prices that were lower and
as sellers were unwilling to make
much of a concession the trade was
a drag from start to finish. 1t finally
developed into a slow and weak to 10c
If snap and life and the forenoon was
well advanced before many loads had
passed over the scales. At the time
OF closing our report there were still
cattle unsold.
Sheep-The following are the days

markets were below expectations and
the trend of prices at all markets was
reported stronger.
