of good pure water could be stored
and held in reserve in case of neces
sity. This reservoir could be supplied
from the waters of the stream that
came out of the canyon.
BIandford Took a Hand.
City Attorney Blandford said that
he had for years made a study of the
water question and especially had
put in considerable time in investi-
eating the subject of riparian rights.
He had reached the conclusion that
the city would eventually have to go
to Mill creek for it's water. Possibly
water could be developed on the
Thomas springs but he did not be-
lieve that that plan would be wise.
He believed that the city should ac
quire rights of way at once as it would
be cheaper to secure them at this time
than a few years later
GIasford Expressed Himself.
Councilman Glasford said that he
was not in favor of digging wells on
the Thomas land. He characterized
the development work that had been
done at the Thomas springs as vast
ing the peoples money, and ne did
not want to see any more of the city
finances thrown away in that manner

would only mean that the city would
be compelled to put in pumping
nual expenditure of a great amount
of money. This was the scheme of
Engineer StorrOw, who was only look
ing forward to forcing the city to pur-
chase electrical power from the COM
pany by whom he was employed as
engineer.
Councilman Smith Had His Say.
Councilman Smith was of the opin
ion that the most important matter
| that should be considered was to pro-
vide some means of securing immedi
ate relief for the present scarcity of
water. This should be settled first
and then the other portion of the wa
ter subject could be taken up later.
He still believed in carrying on de-
veopment work, and when it was
definitely ascertained that sufficient
water had been found, to go to the
people and ask them to vote bonds to
bring the water into the city.
Harry H. Turner Spoke.
President Harry H. Turner of the
was present, was asked to express
his views. He favored the employ
ment of Mr.. Thomson or some other
competent engineer to take up the
matter at once. He said that there
was no time to lose, as he believed it
] would require fully one year to get
the water for the city. He suggested
that the city could install temporary
pumping plants to tide over the pres
eHl ullllcully uHlll al ADEQUATE sup
ply could be procured. He believed
that the citizens in general would
back up the council in any scheme
that was feasible to provide more
water, after it had been demonstrated
by a competent engineer that the wa
ter was to be had.
Must Follow Instructions.
Councilman Mexican was in favor of
employing Engineer Thomson, but he |
wanted it understood that when that
gentleman made a report that the |
council should follow out his inStruc-
tons. and not pass it up as had been |
done in other cases. 1t was no use to
employ an engineer to do the prelim- |
mary investigation and then not do
anything after the report was sub
mitted to the council.
Thomson to Be Employed.
Councilman Smith then moved that
Mr.. Thomson be employed and upon
the second of Councilman Mexican
it was carried by unanimous vote.

when the day of the Negros of America
cease to be a political factor, their
condition will be even more itiabIe in

right to teach our people to secure edu-

class of people who live under Demo
cratic form of government, and have
no voice in selecting the men who
make its laws and execute them. If
the Negroes become as wealthy as the
Jews, and have no part in selecting
the men who will tax their wealth and
their property, or those who pass the
laws for the confscatiOn of it, or sit
on juries and try them for their liber-

their property rights are tried, then

At the Yuletide Stag on December

Wetmore, of Jacksonville, Florida, by
Messrs. Bob Cole, RosamOnd Johnson,

My friends the Negroes have
reached a crisis in their affairs in this
country As you well know we have
been disfranchised in great many
of the Southern states, and several
other states are threatening to do the
same. 1 want to appeal to you gentle
men who live here in the North where
your votes are counted, to help us of
the South, if not, we are lost. l mean
help us by impressing upon the Con
gressmen from your several districts
the fact that you are interested in the
welfare of your brothers in the South
and insisting upon their supporting
some measure in Congress for the re
lief of your Southern brothers Gentle

whatever, and viii be the butt and

honest in every part of this great
country L do not advise my friends

that the Negroes be taught to die if
necessary in defense of their right of

your votes gentlemen, and therefore
will not join the South in any such
damnable undertaking. There is an
other matter in which we seem to have
reached a crisis in our affairs, and
that is the higher education Of the
Negro in the South want to tell you
gentlemen that I know whereof L
speak when 1 say that a great num-
Der of the institutions for the higher
education of the Negro in the South
are in hard straights for money, and
are barely able to keep their doors
open. The reason is, that our good
white friends of the North who have
given so many thousand dollars to
help such schools as the Atlanta Uni
versity, Claflin University, Fisk Uni
versity, and a great many others of
their kind in the South, have ceased to
contribute to these schools; and when
any of the friends of these schools ap-
proach the philanthropic men of the
North now and ask for contributions
they are almost invariable told mo,
I cannot give anything for your school,
as I believe the Negro does not need
| higher education but needs industrial
| training, and what am able to con-
| tribute I now give to Tuskegee or
/ other schools, Of that kind, or words
to that effect Gentlemen as I look
around me, 1 see some faces that would

| board tonight, I see some men who
would not occupy the positions they do
in the world, and I myself would not
| be here, were it not for this class of
/ schools which were founded in the
/ South, and maintained by Northern
| philanthropy Mr.. Washington with
his propaganda of industrialism has
/ captured the white American public,
and white men of the North who used
( to give one dollar for the higher edlI-
cation of the Negro, now give nothing
/ towards assisting him in obtaining
higher education, but give two dollars

and have no criticism to make of
{ him for the work he has done at
| Tuskegee; and I wish him continued
I success with his industrial school.
( But gentlemen 1 belong to that class
+ of Negroes who believe in higher edu-
cation for those of US who are capa-
bic of receiving it and utilizing it.
One>of our greateset weaknesses is that
we are extremists Ny friends,
Trotter, Marshall, BENJAMIN and
others of Boston, are such extreme
anti-Washington men that they are
almost cranHs on the subject of indus
trialism versus higher education. And
on the other hand there are thousands
of Negroes who are such pro-Wash-
ington men that they are fools on the
question of higher educatiogl versus
industrialism, and they believe Mr.
Washington is perfect and has made
no mistakes or that he can make any;
and this class of extremists do him
as much harm almost as his enemies. /

DEMAND FOR CODE DROPPED.
State Board Modfies Regulations for
Applicants Taking Tests.

SEATTLE, May 21-Applicants for
license to practice dentistry in this
state are not now required by the state
board to sign the code of ethics, insist
ed upon heretofore. The state board
decided at a meeting held yesterday
exacted of the students or applicants
who came before the board for exam
ination. At today's meeting when the
examinations began nothing was said
Of the code and ethical and non-ethi-
cal students sat side by s de upon ex-
actly the same level before the board.
The decision to abandon the attempt
to secure pledges that the code of
ethics would be followed was made by
the state board after a serious rupture
between dentists had occurred over the
previous ruling. Members of the state
board explained that the newspapers
had opposed the provision, the people
were dissatisfied with it and criticism
among dentists made it inadvisable to
continue the plan of demanding sigma
lures to the code.
The state board reOrganiZed this
morning. DR.. Thurston of Spokane,
president, and Dr. Stryker, of Everett
secretary, have retired from the board
They are succeeded by DR.. Irwin of
Vancouver and DR.. Edgars of Seattle
The new officers of the board are: DR..

tiOns before the board.

Young Millionaire Will No Longer Be
Be an Exile From New York.
NEW YORK, May. 2f.-ReginaId

NEW YORK, May. 21.-Reg eginald
Vanderbilt If an eh- gambling expr-r-
sion be permitted, mas decided to
pass up his friend. Richard Garfield.
The American obtained this Informal
ton today on good authority. He is
coming to this city whenever he feels
like it in the future and if District
Attorney Jerome feels disposed to ask
him questions he will find Reggie"
pleasantly willing to answer them.
But Vanderbilt will not return to New
York before next fall. He always
spends his summers out of town.
The decision that Reggie was not
wise in making a martyr of himself
simply to protect Garfield was reach
ed at a conference held at Newport
yesterday. There We're present, be
sides Reggie, a prominent lawyer Of
this city and members of the Wander
bile family
At this conference the entire situ-
alton was gone over Win q view 10

ton in the Garfield matter. It was
held that Garfield has repudiated
practically every obligation that a
gambler is supposed to exercise to-
wards a client. In other words Can
field has not proved himself a gen
tleman" gambler as the word has
been known among the young men of
the smart set To be more explicit, it
was explained that many gamblers
from the days of Morrissey to the
present John DAILY, never permitted
their clients to get into trouble.
Garfield, it was stated, has not been
so elf-sacrificing and as a conse-
uuence Reggie Vanderbilt's advisers
see no reason why he should be. So
he is through playing the martyr

GLASS LEGISLATION.
Act Imposing License on Newcomers
Is Held to Be Unconstitutional

NORTH YAKIMA, May 21.-Judge
Rudkin has declared the act of March
D. 1903, relatives to imposing a license
on all persons wanting to transact bus
mess in the state without having first
resided six months therein unconsti-
tutionaI. The question came up on
habeas corpus proceedings in the case
of the State VS.. J. Q. ConneI, who was
arrested for selling vehicles without a
license. The court says: The con-
stitutiOn requires that acts of this ma
ture shall be equal and uniform in
their operation and to be valid must be
directed against the business to be
of persons engaged therein. This is
clearly a trade and not a police regu
lation. If merchants of this state de-
sire protection against the class of
persons or business methods described
in this act they must either refrain
from transacting business in the same
manner themselves or submit to the
same burdens. The constitution and
equal protection under the law i'm
peratively demand this. After an ex
tended examination of authorities SO
