were made and soon after the idea
was born Mrs. Lichtstein and her
daughter were the possessors of
an annual income of $4,000.
Mr.. Lichtstein had arranged that
the income from property valued
at $250,000 be paid to his wife and
daughter. Love and affection for

of trust filed today.

A teamster driving heavily
loaded truck stopped his horses in
front of the Press building yester-
day to rest them. An elderly wom-
an who was passing stepped out
into the street to pat them ON their
noses.
Il hope you're always kind to
your horses" she said to the driver
as she petted them.
"Yesm,' he answered. Il always

That's right" she said. "They

had turned the corner.

INDICTED q
YEARS AFTER
When StiIlweII Eloped He Took q
Girl Baby Along

UPPER SANDUSKY, O., Oct. 20.
The Wyandotte county grand
jury today indicted Wilbur E. Still
well of Marion for the alleged kid
mapping of Tillie Purdue, q years
ago. Tillie at that time was two
years of age and the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert T. Purdue, for
merly residents of this county. 1t
seems that Stillwell eloped with
the wife of Purdue and took with
her her infant daughter. Purdue
never heard of them again until he
read recently in newspaper that
Stillwell had appeared in trial as
a witness. He investigated and
found that he was the same man
who had broken up his home.
1t was developed today that the
former Mrs. Purdue is now the wife
Of wealthy contractor at Sacra-
mento. Cal, having divorced Still
well several years ago. Tillie is
now young woman, unmarried.

the white robed king of all the
primeval attractions of the once
unsettled west, was most devotedly
worshiped by the Indians.
When you see the Indian today,
poor and degraded, think of him
when he was rich and free, and un-
stained by the white mans vices;
when although savage on the plains
and in the forests, he lived an hon.
orable life, was brave and cour-
ageous. He and his fellows loved
the broad valleys, majestic noun
tains and clear skies; their wide
rivers, sparkling streams and crys-
tai lakes, where lived the finny
tribes; their great plains, where
roamed the deer, the elk, the buf-
falo; their dark, dense forests, the
home of wild and savage beasts.
They loved to hear the bluejays
cawing among the trees, and the
humming birds made sweet music
with their tiny wings"

And the dog came back. That
ia the climax o ia story in connec-
ton with lost, strayed or stolen
canine. A little over eight years
ago, when the present owner of the
animal was sitting on her front
porch on Nineteenth avenue, the
dog, then only a puppy, came tear
ing down. the street, and when 1t
reached the porch gave jump and
landed in her lap.
Ever since that time, until the
first of last April, he has been a
great pet of the family. About the
middle Of April he suddenly dis
appeared and that being the dog
killing time the owners supposed
he had fallen a victim to the dog
catcher.
Great was the surprise of the
family when, the other evening,
just six months from the time he
disappeared, he trotted onto the
porch of his former home. Now he
seems as much one of the family
as he ever did.

RACE HATRED MUST
BE STRANGLED

The Arbitration Board has prac-
tically settled the strike of the
Brotherhood of Locomtive Firemen
in Georgia, and it is needless to
say that the railroad company got
the best of the settlement. The
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men made a serious mistake when
the organization raised the barriers
against the black man, thereby
bringing about a race war which
could only end in an advantage to
the exploiter. The black man filled
the position of fireman for one dol
lar less per day than the white
man, and the Brotherhood permit
ted this injustice to be meted out
to race that is struggling against
all the prejudices born of the CEN
turies. The smaller parasite in
commercial circles in Georgia was

the Negro firemen being paid the
scale. Over in Wyoming short
time ago a japanese construction
company secured the contract for

The vision of several thousand
Japs flinging dirt and taking in
the equivalent reused the ire of the
"laboring classes and a strong
protest against the winners of the
contract was made. Canada has
removed some of the restrictions on
Chinese immigration and the con-
ditions confronting the clans of or
ganized labor become daily more
complex. And, where will the Ne

INTELLIGENT UNDERSTANDING.

An intelligent understanding of
current questions is what our peee
pie need. They must turn from
the contemplation of the sad-faced
martyr and grapple with the pres
ent The Negro must know the
causes of financial depression, ana
have a full knowledge of his rela-
ton to labor. He must know these
things not as beautiful theory,
but as hard facts. And knowing
these things he must place his bal
lot and his moral influence where
it will do the most good. The get
ting of wealth alone will not solve
the problem. We must get ALL
that goes to make a people. The
lawyers, the teachers, the editors
and orators must bring these
things clearly before the masses OF
our people. Race hatred will pass
away when both sides can see and
intelligently understand the rela-
ton they bear to each other. Labor
cannot succeed without giving a
square, fair deal to ALL the labor
ing elements. So long as present
conditions prevail the efforts of or.
ganized labor will be neutralized
by the laboring element outside the
order. The Negro, as well as any
other class, will be forced to stand
with his friends. Let us labor to
eliminate race hatred in the labor
world.

IGNORANT PREJUDICE.

Elsewhere on this page we repro
duce an editorial comment from the
Miners Magazine relating to the
very recent decision of the Georgia
Board of Arbitration in the case
of railroads employing Negro fire
men. 1t is a splendid rebuke to
the carping prejudice of the labor
union and a strong appeal to the
manhood of the nation. The Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen of
Georgia protested against the en-
ployment of the Negro, and the
railroad companies checked the
question up to the State Board OF
Arbitration, and the board decided
in favor of the Negro And the
howl goes on.

were honest in their expressed de-
sire to help the struggling laborer,

CHANGING ISSUES.


Political issues have decidedly
changed within the past few years.
All classes of citizens seem to real
ize it except the Negro. He still
votes under the influence of 1868
and the abolition of slavery. Our
people are apparently standing
with their mack to the future, gaz-
ing in rapture at the fast-declin
ing rays of a setting sun.
The principles and isms OF our
early freedom have long since be-
come history. New questions OF
public policy occupy the stage and
we must face about and under
stand them. Over at Washington
Just now the spectacle of the House
and Senate endeavoring to "revise
the tariff downward" so as to take
the wind out of Democratic sails,
and yet keep it high enough to sat
isfy "the interests" and protect
american Labor. And this is the
kernel of the nut In this "protec-
ton to American Labor" the Ne
gro has no lot or interest. The col
ored orators sent out by the party
bosses still tell the dolorous story
of emancipation and Democratic
hypocrisy. If it were possible to
eliminate a few discredited fire
eaters from the Democratic party,
the best-trained Negro with a mi
croscope could not find the line OF
difference between the two old par
ties on the race question. The race
question only crops out, like the
convenient ghost of the Witch OF
Endor, when called forth. The
trust. the tariff and American Ia
Dor is the absorbing topic at pres
ent and it behooves the Afro-Amer-
lean orators to get busy along these
lines.
The great struggle of tomorrow
will be between labor, organized
and unorganized, on the one hand,
and combined capital on the other.
A few years ago the world roared
with laughter when Ignatius Don
nelly in his Caesars Column
drew the dismal picture OF the
coming struggle. But those who
have followed the trend of events
can see the shadow of coming trou-

NEW YORK WHITE TEACH
ERS OBJECT TO COL
ORED PRINCIPAL

New York, July 2.-Twenty
teachers-about half the staff at
Public School No. 125, in Wooster
street, Manhattan have applied for
transfers, owing to the assignment
by the Board of Education of Will
lam l.. Bulkley as head of the
school.
BulkIey is classified by race as
a Negro, but in appearance is said
to be almost white. The school is
known as part time school, ow-
ing to its overcrowded condition,
and there is said to be fewer than
80 Negro children in it. Most of
the pupils are of Italian parentage.
Buckley has been for several
years a public school principal in
New York, and has had charge of
a night school also. Industrial
training is said to be a sort of hob
by with him.
A vacancy occurred in the Woos.
ter street school through the trans
fer of the principal. Then, on the
eve of the summer vacation, came
the announcement that a Negro
principal had been sent there.
Some of the teachers were up in
arms at once. They held a meet
ing to decide on a course of action.
Various plans were proposed, but
they were told they had right to
apply for transfers, and 20 of them
ost no time in doing so.
Bulkley dropped around to look
over his new charges just before
school closed. 1t is said the feel.
ing of good will be expressed for
the teachers did not have a very
enthusiastic effect and no resolu-
tions of regret were passed after
he went away. He sailed for Eu.
rope Wednesday on his annual va
cation.
