To the Editor of the Banner:
In your Saturdays issue some re-
marks reported to have been made by
the writer at a reception in honor of
Mrs. Crane were sharply criticised in
a letter signed by a number of excel
lent colored men, who charged me
with having a grievance against their
race.
1t is impossible to give a just i'm
preston of five-minutes talk in four
lines of a newspaper, and | sincere Y
regret that fuller report was not
printed The reporter briefed my re-
marks in rather offensive form, as
follows; "One of our big problems
here" he said, "is our forty thousand
colored population. Instead of being
taxpayers they are burden on u.s."
What really said upon that occa-
sion would not, think, be regarded as
in any way unkind or unjust to our
colored citizens. 1t was far from in
dicating a grievance against them.
Mrs. Crane, of Michigan, an expert
enced specialist in civic improve
ments, is visiting Nashville to study
and lecture upon heath conditions,
cleanliness, schools, parks and gener-
al municipal needs. Being called
upon at the meeting for remarks, |
suggested among other things, that as
a Northern expert, Mrs. Crane would
have to consider Nashville from a

the success of the concern is assured

I sincerely hope that the relations
between the new officers and the new
board will be as harmonious, as pleas
ant and congenial, as those that ex-
listed between the members of the old

The announcement that bids would
be opened for the location of the Nor

School for Negroes that is To be es-
taDllshed somewhere in Tennessee.
was hailed with delight by large
population, especially of Nashville
and Davidson County. The people
have already begun to look with in
terest upon the location of this school.
as it will mean a great deal to them
throughout the length and breadth Of
the Volunteer State. While Tennes-
see is possibly the last Southern state
TO go into the educational business
with a distinctively State Normal
School, it is no argument that she
is to take second place.
This is a matter that has been pend
ing since the last legislature made it's
appropriation. The school no doubt
would have been located, and posi-
ply the work on the building would
have been already begun, had not a
lew unforeseen obstacles arisen TO
prevent it. There are but few people
willing to predict or to say definitely
where the school will be located, but
Davidson County is advancing more
claims and arguments to sustain these
claims and more stubborn facts to
back up both arguments and claims
than any other county in the state.
Her advantages are too we'll known
these facts have been too we'll estab-
l1shed to need any further comment.
The course pursued by the State
Board Of Education in selecting the
sites for the location of white schools
and the method employed in making
these selections offer more consolation
to the white citizens of Davidson
County, who are hoping and praying
that the school will be put here, than
anything else The county is in the
center Of the state measuring East
and West or North and South. It
has railroad facilities that make il
more accessible and easier reached
from any part of the state than any
other county. 1t enjoys educational
advantages that are not dreamed of
by any other section of Tennessee.

priation to look after it which must

travelling expenses of these commit.
tees appointed by the various legisla.
lures from time to time, is an econom-
ical way that is said to be considered
by the board of education, in looking
tavorably toward Davidson County.
1t seems that the race has narrowed
down to Hamilton County and David
son County, with the latter having a
shade the better of the race. So next
Wednesday is looked upon as an
oventful day; all that is going to be
done by the citizens of Nashville and
Davidson County must be done before
May 4th, as on that day they must
march up and deposit with the state
officials their sealed bids, after which
1t will be known who has won so far
as county and location of the school
are concerned.
From the time the bill was intro
duced up to the present there have
been steady and determined forces at
work to bring about the permanent
establishment of the institution some
where. The people are hopeful and
are trying to conserve every interest

THE CONSERVATION POLICY
Senator Borah Voices Ideas on the
Subject.

Senator w. E. Borah of Idaho
held the close attention of tile
senate Monday afternoon when he
made a plea for changes in the
conservation policy allowing the
opening Of lands held as forest
reserves and power sites in Idaho.
His contention is that states
affected by these acts have not
been placed on an equal footing,
commercially, with their sister
states. In part he said:
"The conservation policy, which
teaches the farmer the science Of
farming. how to vary his crops,
protect them from insects, and his
stock from disease, how to make
IS bushels Of wheat grow where
only 20 grew before, which re-
forests those timber lands which
will produce timber and nothing
but timber, which will adopt a
policy of regulation and control.
admitting of use and development
everywhere, is a true conservation
policy. Bnt the policy which
withholds the agricultural land
from production and hinders in
dustrial life, which forces the
citizen into a city or foreign
cline for lands is not only short
sighted and unwise, but it is a
blunder, which, in legislation, is
even worse than crime"
