NEGROES AND PROPERTY
VALUES.

Chicago, Sept. 4-(Fditor of Tn.
Tribune. )-Let me tell you my exueri-
ence with Colored neighbors. I have
a six fiat building on a good residence
street on the South Side, next to
which was an empty house, and BY
some hook or crook a Colored family
with four children of their own and
who entertained other Negroes lavish
ly got hold of this house, in spite OF
the efforts of neigh6ors to prevent it.
Before these Negroes moved in / av-
eraged $50 per month for these apart
ments and all were rented. Now three
of them are empty and for one of the
others I get $50 and the other two
$2s-and glad to get it. The neighbor-
hood has changed completely in less
than a year. The well to do white peo-
pie left the block as il a plague had
struck it. How would you like to have
a large Negro family, with all thar
that means, move in next to you or
next to property owned by you? Why
do they want to go where they are not
wanted7 Colored people have no busi-
ness in exclusive white neighborhoods,
and am sure you will agree with me.
and with the many others who read
the letter in question with the utmos;
indignation. am by no means the
only property owner who has cause 10

ed family in a block means a depre
eiation in values of 50 per cent-you

Ny Dear Sir: desire to congratu,
late you on the fight you are making
upon social conditions as they exist ir
certain localities of our city.
have always been a stauch admir-
er of your paper and the many fights
you have made in your efforts to save
the race from itself, and it might be
well wished that we had many more
such men as you, who would hew to
the line regardless of who the chips
strike.
Your life proves that you have not
NEemained silent when It was essential
to speak out. You have reminded both
the pulpit and the pew of the import
anee of leading straight and upright
lives. You have pointed out to the
preacher the danger of his appetite, 7"
whether that appetite had a tendency
to drunkenness or the spelling of vir.
tue by Haunting their immoral conduct
in the faces of their congregation, or
whether it evidence itself in i'll got
ten gain. You, sir, have been man
enough to show up these ministerial
cohorts of vice and crime who de-
pend not upon their work, but rather
more upon the skill of their eorrup
ton. You, sir, have turned the search
light upon their saintless, smiling faces,
behind which there is no conscience
and whose priestly robes are stained
and polluted with immortality.
These same divines are now loudly
crying "Hollier than thou" but, sir.
this cry of virtue is but a sham and
a vain attempt to stife their own
cowardly conscience and in their ef
fort to besmirch the character of 9th
ers, who refuses to be used by
them. But permit me to say, they are
not bringing to themselves any substan-
tial power nor permanent good, but
instead disappointment and mortihea-
ton, which is the common fate of a
vaulting ambition overlapping itself.
They will find in the ultimate end
that their apparent success is but a
barren seepter within their grip.
thence to be wrenched by unlienial
hands, no son of theirs succeeding.
And in closing permit me to say.
continue the fight which has now be-
come a part of your life's work, until
the arrow of truth shall have Penetrat-
ed the very vitals of dishonesty and
the perpetrators be made to cry out as
did another sinner of the same type.

do to be saved"

Baseball Minstrel
Show.

Baseball men of the State Col
lege are making big plans to
give a big minstrel show in a
few weeks to raise money for
additional equipment for the
team this year. Joe Hahn, pre-
sident of the athletic association,
has appointed the following COM
mite to take charge of all ar
rangements for the show: Chas.
A. Lund, Frank Brown, Vaughn
Jones and Robert Phillips.
The committe is now at work
getting a line on music and black
face stunts for the performance
and a meeting will be held of all
interested men in the near future
to start active rehearsals for the
show.
1t has been the custom for
several years. u til last year, to
give a big minstrel show every
spring for the benefit of the
baseball team and the shows have
been highly successful in the
past, one of the troupes taking a
trip to Walla Walla after the
performance in Pullman. AL
though most of the old time
black face artists have retired
from college, there are still a
quantity of Billy Vans, Billy
Boards and Dockstaders in en-
bryo romping about the campus
so that the promoters promise a
first class production this year.
The participators will not be
baseball men only, although a
number of the state college ath-
letes will take a part in the
show. The chorus will be an es-
pecially fine one as it will be
composed largely of glee club
men.

UP to their form displayed in the
game with Los Angeles.
This was the only game of the
three. however, in which the
boys are satisfied that they play
ed up to their ability. Ivan Put
man, forward, played a particu-
larly brilliant game in this first
contest as he did in the other
two.
The second game with Whit
man, which gives the Walla
Walla institution two out of
three with the State College. was
one of the hardest fought battles
ever seen in a northwest basket
ball game, Whitman winning by
score of % to 18. Previous to
the game they had a big rally
and turned out crowd which
filled the gym to the doors. War
rem Belt starred in this game,
securing goals on almost impos-
sible attempts.
In the last game of the trip,
that with Oregon Agricultural
college, Bunk Barnes was practi-
cally the only man on the team
who was in shape to play. Hol-
comb, Crane, Putnam and Cap
tain Anderson all entered this
contest with bad ankles. Torpen
replaced Crane in the last half,
he also getting in the last half
in place of Barnes in the final
Whitman game. However, it
cannot be denied that o. A. c..

as they played a fast, heady
game againts the w. S. G.. team
