Editor Morning News: After having
read Judge Emory Speer's address on
the race problem, which seems to be
SO perplexing, especially to those Gas
he inferredl who wear prejudfced
glasses, l submit a few thoughts for
the consideration of the public.
In order that those who read this
may know that 1 am in a position
to know whereof speak, L will say
that have devoted twenty-nine years
to the ministry, or in personal contact,
directly and Indirectly, with all classes
of negroes. The record of my church
will show that l have now under my
pastoral care 5000 negroes.
l have spent many years reading
books, newspaper editorials and spe-
clal articles devoted to the solution of
the race problem, and many of them
were as foreign to even a possible So
luton as the East is from the West.
The plan suggested by Judge Speer, 1
am quite sure, meets the hearty ap-
probation of the negroes of this coun-
try. If we had a few more friends
we0 posted concerning our ancestry,
nature and disposition, who would
speak OF the hopeful and bright side
OF our future as a race. in a few
years the condition of the race ques-
lion would be improved 50 per cent.
There are not a few negroes whU
thoroughly believe in law and order
and the just administration of the laws
OF this country who will do anything
TO aid the superior race in the protec-
ton of those laws, protecting the
MONIES, honor and virtue of the women
OF this country There are also many
negroes In this city, state, the South

UNIFORM PRICE
LOST CITY ORDER
SAME FOR SACK AS FOR CAR.
sIPPLE BROS. UNDERBID GRAIN
COMBINE AND GOT ORDER.

Bid Was Not Submitted Mt Regular
Time, but Firm Sells City the Feed.
Four Members of Combine Bid the
Same, Charging City the Same for
Carload Lot as One Sack Could
BE Bought I'm Open Market.
Four of the firms that belong to the
grain combine here submitted bids to
furnish the city with a carload of feed
for the fire department at the same
rate that one sack of oats can be pur-
chased in the open market, and as a
result an outside firm got the con-
tract The bids were submitted some
time ago, but no meeting of the COM
mittee was held until yesterday, when
the contract was awarded to Sipple
Bros.
1t was owing to the fact that the
meeting was postponed that the al
dermen learned that the dealers
wanted to charge the city the same
price on a carload lot as for one sack.
Alderman Oliver, the chairman Of the
Fire Committee, several days ago in
structed the superintendent of the DEB
partment to buy sufficient feed to last
the department until the committee
could meet and award the contract
The bids had then already been OPEN
ed. There were four bidders and the
prices were the same. When Chief
Mcguire went to buy the feed he went
to Levkoy and Haymn, one Of the
firms that had bid.
The committeeman who had seen the
samples had decided those submitted
by this firm were the best, and as all
the prices were the same it was sup
posed it would get the contract. The
small quantity of feed that the chief
wanted to last until the committee met
was purchased at the same price as
had been bid on a carload lot by the
four that submitted bids. This put the
officials to thinking and Sipple Bros.
offered to sell 2 cents cheaper than
the combination prices.
The committee met yesterday and in
structed the superintendent after an
hour and forty minutes session, to pur-
chase the feed from Sipple Bros, al
though that firm did not have in bid
at the time advertised. The fire de-
partment is about to overdraw its APP
preparation, and some believed the pur-
chase of feed in small quantities was
due to this fact. but such is not the
case. Alderman Oliver states that he
instructed Supt. Mcguire to buy in
small quantities simply to keep the
department supplied until he could get
his committee together and award the
contract. 1t is true, Alderman Oliver
CD -.
about $500 of having enough to pay
its bills this year, but this had moth
ing to do with the buying Of feed in
small quantities.

him the building in which the pool
room was; and he and his men, having
been denied admission, went up the
tire-escape and accomplished a very
satisfactory little raid. And, after
all, the name Of the aggrieved citizen
got into the papers.
This Is typical of the way in which
the majority Of us regard the law.
We all want the law enforced; but we
want it done so that we shall have all
the benefit and somebody else all the
trouble. We are all willing to find
fault If the authorities do not enforce
the law, but how, few Of us will help
them do it! And how little thanks
those who do help, may expect to get
from the rest Of the community
Everybody agrees that when forger,
or a defaulter, or a murderer, or
some other sort of criminal Is caught,
he ought TO be punished; but IN prae
tiee that eulprit Is always somebody's
brother or son or husband, and the
innocent as well as the guilty will
suffer. In the abstract, an unhun@
scoundrel guilty Of crimes which err
danger the safety Of society ought to
be removed from all opportunity Of
misbehaving; in practice, that scoun-
dreI has respectable family connee-
tons, or powerful political hackers,
or a genial temperament which wins
him friends, or some other plausible
reason for milking an exception in his
particular case. 1t Is for the public
TO discover some means of keeping
order in society without anybody be-
| ing hurt who does not deserve to De
hurt. The law has not vet succeeded
