the president gave Mr.. Ballinger clean bill of fare
but the trouble would not down and it became so acute
as the time grew that Secretary Bainger himself
has come forward and demanded thorough nves-

Of course John Lockwood Wilson will not submit
his candidacy for the United States senate to succeed
Senator Piles to King county straw ballot as between
himself and Judge Burke with
A King Humphries holding out as he says
County he intends to do for the simple
Candidate reason that, Humphries would di-
rect every one of his supporters to
vote for Judge Burke because he believes that he
(Humphries) would have better chance to win the
prize Judge Burke outside of King county than he
would Senator Wilson. Hu nphries would himself
vote for Judge Burke in such contest It is plain to
be seen Humphries is endeavorng to work out some
scheme whereby King county will eliminate Wilson
from the fight and then he thinks he himself will be
able to eliminate Burke While this paper does not in
any way speak for Senator Wilson, yet it believes Sen
ator Wilson would say he in Seattle today IF all
of the King county candidates for the senatorial toga
will go into such fight will offer objections but
will not go into two cornered fight with more
candidates preparing to enter the contest regardless of
of the decision Of the straw ballot The friends of
Senator Wilson of the opinion that he in line for
the senatorial toga which he is going to seek next
year, and they will not permit any to side track
him by some political legerdeman.

Recently Negro, Isaac Fisher, school teacher in
Pine Bluff Arkansas, decided he would compete for
the prize of the best essay Good Roads offered by
the Manufacturers Record and to
negro his surprise he got the second
Talent prize, which meant hundred dol
Smothered lars cash for him. Then he de-
cded to enter the essay contest on
an economic subject, which was fathered by big
clothing firm and again he won the second prize which
brought him $4OO Had Fisher been told to appear in
and to enter the contest he would have refused
to have done so because he would have believed his
color would have been more instrumental in the mark
ing of his papers than the actual facts Had those Of
ferng the prize been asked of the possibility of Negro
winning the second prize they would have rdcued the
idea And thus it is the talent of the Negro in the
United States is smothered out because he not get
an opportunity to demonstrate to the world to what

show your talent among the black folks but vugarly
speaking, this is white mans country and it is ut
terly impossible for the black to build up black
mans country in the midst of white mans country,
and therefore the talent of the black man. if developed

white man. Give the black chance at whatever
you have to do and then if he is wholly devoid of
