WORD "NEGRo" DISCUSSED.
Argument of Congressman Sims OF
Tennessee In the House.

Argument of Congressman Sims OF
Tennessee In the House.
A Washington dispatch says: The
house had under consideration Mon
day a bill increasing the salaries of
the school teachers in the district OF
Columbia, reorganizing the board OF
education. The bill provided for a
board of education of nine members,
three of whom shall be of the col
ored race"
MIR. Sims OF Tennessee said it was
time to get away from miscalling the
negro race. He said the word "col-
ored" included the yellow, brown and
led people, as we'll as negroes. He
said the word "nigger" was cor
ruption of negro" and wholly in
correct, in the description Of the rsc2
Of people provided for III the bill. He
said that Secretary Taft, one OF the
sblest and greatest men of his time,
il his recent address at Tuskegee in
stitute, had used the words negro
and negro race" twenty-five times and
"colored race" but four times This
fact Mr.. Sims thought, was luminous.
Mr.. Sims amendment to the bill,
striking out the word ''colored" and
inserting negro" wherever it occurs,
was defeated. The bill was amended
SC that the board of education shall
consist of nine persons without regard
to color.
