 ! In the September American" Ray ! Stannard Baker relates an interesting 1 incident of the south which has SO l oiological bearing and which he de
 scribes under the caption, "A Pawn
 in the Struggle for Freedom"
 Tn 1908, Alonzo Bailey, young ne gro. signed a contract to work for 9
 white man for one year at the rate of
 SIP a month. He received an advance payment of $I5 and went to work.
 After Bailey had worked a little
 over a month he jumped the job for reasons not disclosed in the nara tive. He was penniless or nearly so, and for that reason there was no
 practical relief for the employer in a suit for damages for breach of con tract.
 So, the story goes on to relate, the young negro was arrested under an Alabama law that provided that when a man receives money on such a con tract and stops before 1t is worked ous. the presumption is at once created that he intended to defraud the em- ployer, and under that presumption he should be punished criminally.
 The negro came into court and or tered to prove his real intent and mo- tives. He offered to show why he quit work when he did. But there was the legal presumption which the law said was indisputable. There fore 1t was immateTial why he quit work. so far as the law of Alabama was concerned. The contract was prima facie and conclusive evidence of intent to defraud.
 The negro was tried, convicted and sentenced to serve 136 days at hard lator. There was no trial or hearing further than that his white employer related the facts showing that the con tract had been broken, and produced the contract itself.
 AIonzo Bailey had a young wife who finally interested two able and fearless young lawyers in his case. The Alabama statute had been held unconstitutional by courageous judge on the superior Bench after a hard fight by the white planters to uphold it, but the supreme court ct Alabama had reversed him and upheld the law enacted to protect the plant CTS from Iaborers who wouldn't live up to their contracts.
 These young lawyers carried the Alondo Bailey case to the supreme court of the United States and Justce Hughes wrote the opinion, declaring that a state cannot compel one man to labor for another in payment of l debt by punishing him as a criminal if he does not perform the service or pay the debt.
 imprisonment for non-payment Of a | debt is ar outgrown custom, but the rule that precludes a man, black or white, from going into a court CT justice" with an explanation of his failure to keep his contract was ] clear outrage and mockery of ids-I tice. To stop a mans mouth and sen tence him to jail and hard labor on the statement of his accuser, plus i contract, is a clean denial of justice

 There are denagogues in all count ries-men and newspapers. We have this class with us but 1t is a hope less minority and will go out of busi- ness with the hrst state election. The people of this new state want capital and population.

DISTRICTS OLDEST /,
TEACHER SOON TO
TAKE YEARS REST
Mrs. Laura Bradley, in Serv-
:, ice Fifty-three Years,
s.. to Ask Leave.

Mrs. Laura Bradley, the Oldest
teacher in point of service in the Wash
ington schols, is about to ask the Board
of Education for a years leave of abb
sence. This retirement from service
may mark the permanent quitting Of
the service by Mrs. Bradley.
- For fifty-three years Mrs. Bradley
has been a teacher here, spending the
greater part of that time in work
among the Georgetown schools, where
hundreds Of boys. many of them now
prominent business and professional
men, were trained by her. For the past
few years she was teacher Of the sew
enth grade at the Taylor School, Sew
enth and G streets northeast. and pre-
vious to that she was principal OF the
jackson School She also had charge
at the jefferson for a number of years.
High tribute was paid her today by
school officials.
Mrs. Bradley is not only at the top
Of the record in point OF service but
she is pretty near the high-water mark
in actual accomplishment" did A. T.
Stuart. "She is beloved by pupils and
by parents in the communities where
she has taught and few persons con-
nected with the school system have
cast a more far-reaching influence.
Mrs. Bradley is modest and retiring,
and when seen at her apartments, 1900
Massachusetts avenue, refused to tell
about her career, and begged that no
mention of her retirement be made.

RECHAB|TES WILL
HAVE CONCERT At
SESSION TODAY
Committees on Law, Finance,
and State of Order
to Report.

A banquet. followed by a concert by
members of the order, will be the main
event of the second day Of the fifty
ninth session of the High Tent of the
Independent Order Of Rechabites, which
is being he'd at Pythian Temple.
The delegates are now all seated, and
the roster is complete, embracing rep
resentatives from nearly every State.
Today will be given over to the reports
| Of the committees on law, finance, and
state of the order. The law committee
will recommend several changes, notice
ably the right of referendum, which
will give the several chapters a chance
to express their sentiment regarding
matters which are to come before the
High Tent.
Last night the delegates were the
guests of Jehu Tent, No. %, at which
place the new ritual was exemplifed.
Tomorrow will be taken up with the
election of officers, and the designation
of a place for meeting next year. There
are several cities bidding for the con-
vention, and the probable place is in
much doubt today.
Ruler Williams Explains.
High Chief Ruler Williams, Of this
city, is much pleased with the work
of the order during the past year, and
is satisfied that an effective fight is be-
ing carried on by its members against
liquor. II was evidently misunderstood
as to my remarks about President Taft
and the Emperor of Germany" said
Mr.. Williams today. 81 did not say that
these men were total abstainers What
4 oh hu
have taken stand against drinking al
cohoH0 beverages in public places and
at public banquets, and the whole world
applauds the stand they have taken.
The Emperor of Germany has severely
criticised the officers of the German
army for their drinking, and this shows
that the cause Of temperance is gain
ing favor.
Established In England.
The order of Rechabites was estab-
lshed in Stafford, England, in 1885, and
the first chapter in the United States
was formed in New York city in 1872,
by Captain Turner.
The name and precepts of the or
der are taken from the Thirty-ffth
chapter of jeremiah, and the modern
Rechabites are carrying out the pre-
cepts and examples of the ancient tribe,
and are doing a grand and noble work
for the uplift of mankind.
Our main object is for temperance, and
the curtaling of the liquor traffic. We
do not work from a public standpoint,
although in favor of no license. What
we belive in is to defeat liquor by
bringing individuals into the order who
are addicted to the use of alcohol, and
to correct this fault in them for the
better condition of God home and ma
tive land.
Also we have benefit funds for the
sick, and death benefits as an en-
couragement and inducement to keep
the members in the order"
