The Screen Removal.

A goodly number of people
are under the impression that the
screen ordinance, if carried, will
mean that you can not have any
screens in your saloon at all and
that people can see man when
ever he goes up to the bar to get a
drink, but that is not so. 1t simply
means that when the saloon is
closed at II O'Clock, all screens,
blinds, partitions, etc, are to be
moved and the place clear so you
can see all over the place until
the saloon is opened again at B
O'Clock. Saloons are to be closed
only five out of the twenty-four
hours.

There is nothing harmful in any

treatment, all the lynchings, etc,

The Tuskegee Negro Conference.

On Wednesday and Thursday,
January II and 18, 1912, the
twenty first annual session of the
Tuskegee Negro Conference will
convene at Tuskegee Institute.
Wednesday, the first day, will
lie devoted to a mass meeting of
the Negro people. Thursday, the
second day, the annual Workers
Conference will be held. In the
call for this conference the state
ment is made that its purpose is
less to teach than to inspire. :
The first day will be taken up for
the most part with informal re-
ports and personal experience of
representative men among the
farmer and laboring classes from
all over the South.
The purpose of these reports is
to afford broad view of actual
conditions and Of what the people
themselves, either as individuals
or through their churches and
schools, are doing to improve
them. The second day will be de-
voted to conference of the teach
ers and others who are engaged
in some definite form of work to
improve the masses of the colored
people.
The purpose of the Workers
Conference is to bring the work
Of the school, the churches and
other institutions into closer touch
with the practical and everyday

SHALL THE SALOONS GOV
ERN THE PEOPLE OR THE
PEOPLE THE SALOONS7
This is the Question Before You.
Screen Ordinance Will Be Great
Improvement and Protection
To the Youth.

The election which has been
forced on the people by the saloon
interests, to be held Dee. 18th, is
an important one because the peo-
pie are called upon to settle a most
vital question: Shall the saloon
govern the people or the people
the saloonsq We say let the peo-
pie rule.
Barber shops have closed on
Sundays in obedience to COM
mands. Now the ordinances are
fair. The screen ordinance is one
of vital Importance because it pro-
tects your son and daughter and
does away with wine rooms, clears
the tracks and when saloon has
closed you can see all over the
room.
The $1,000 license cannot do
any harm to anyone; if man can
pay $500 for a saloon, two men
can pay $1,000 just as easy.
The license for bartenders is an
asset for them because it protects
them from intrusion and raises the
standard of the bartenders' fra
ternity.
The commissioners, Messrs.
Davidson, Coe and Spaulding,
have no fear Of the recall. They
are doing their work in earnest
and above board. This is no fight
to abolish saloons, but merely to
regulate them.
Every Colored voter should feel
it personal duty to support the
ordinance, because we know too
well what bad conducted saloons
do for the Colored people. If the
saloons win this fight the Colored
people will again be insulted, NAL
treated by ignorant and unscrupu-
lous policemen. The commission
err mean to give the Colored peo-
pie fair and just and proportion
ate recognition, and if this election
goes in favor of the ordinances
you will see a change.
Let all the Colored people who
are looking ahead and desire to
save the young people consider
these things and prepare to vote
for the ordinances.
You will find that it will be to
your best interest to stay with the
best people, that is, the people who
stand for the high ideals and
moral improvement. There will
be lot of one and five dollar bills
floating around just before and on
election day, but these same people
will join mob after the election
and run you out of the city for
all that.
We can't afford to go against
what is best for the community
We claim that these ordinances,
if enforced, will prove an asset
even to all decent saloon people.
Let the dives go; what good are
theyi
Remember if you vote against
the ordinance you vote away your
own chances for a peaceful life,
where you do not have to dodge
robbers and cut throats and mobs.
Shall the good people or the bad
people have Springfield
