Sentiment or Results?


voters will be called upon to settle
one of two things: whether they will
vote for man on sentiment, or wheth-
er they will vote in a way that they
believe will bring the best results to
the most people. This question comes
right home to the Negro. Good-sound-
ing words are all right when there is
nothing to be done, but when human
ity is suffering, and young children
are being deprived of those things
they should enjoy, it is no time for
sentimentalities, but reasoning Mayor
Howse and his administration have
been charged with many things, the
most of which it would be absolutely
impossible for a man to do. When
you take up the record of the Mayor
and of his administration, you are
compelled to admit that the affairs of
Nashville have, under the present
regime, been conducted on higher
business plane than this city has en-
joyed for many years, and above all
things, Mayor Hillary E. Howse has
seen to it that the black people of the
city be given square deal. He has
not only been Mayor of Nashville,
but he has extended sympathy where
it was deserved, and has conducted
the affairs in such way that Nash
vile is being looked to from all parts
of the world at this very hour.
He believes in every man having a
living chance, therefore he recon-
mended to the council that the wages
of the city school teachers be in
creased, and that they be paid twelve
months in the year. Those opposed
to the Mayor, on grounds best known
to themselves, found fault with this
and fought it to the bitter end, but it
so happened that we had set of
councilmen who were business men,
courageous and anxious to do what
was right, and the Mayor was sus-
tanned by the council One of the lead
ing daily papers published by man
known to be bitter enemy to Mayor
Howse, and who has always been
looked upon as a milk and cider pol
itician, has taken special pains to OPP
pose every attempt Of the present adj
ministration to do anything for the
betterment of Nashville. The people
who are opposing Mayor Howse and
his administration now are being
urged on by this same individual, who
is neither Democrat nor a Repub-
lican nor a Socialist, but merely an
81 am" the one man who knows what
is best for everybody and everything,
and when it is reduced to it's final
analysis, it is clear that the motives
of that individual are selfish. The
Negro voters of Nashville will be
courageous if they will rise above all
sentiment and cast their votes for the
straight Democratic ticket in the Oc-
tober election which is composed of
men who know how to do things. and
have the courage of their convictions.

Make It An Official Census.

The proposed recount of the popu- lation of Phoenix has the approval of everybody. The only question is one of procedure. IL is obvious that in order to make the recount of great value to the city it should be an of ficial census-one which will be re ferred to by all publications and of, ficials as authoritative The trouble about an unofficial recount-a census taken by or at the instance of pri vate citizens, even if il be with the sanction of the city government-is that the result would not go into official records anywhere.
 Fortunately, the laws of Arizona provide for an official census A census of the school population is taken every spring. and finished in May, and the city government of Phoenix may. if it chooses. join with the school board of the city in taking a complete census lection 1886 of the revised statutes provides:
 First It shall be the duty of the census marshal to take the census of all the children between six and eighteen years of age in his district.
 Second Where any chartered mu- nicipal corporation lies within a school district and comprises a portion only of the territory and inhabitants con- uained in said district. if such mu- nicipal corporation be desirous of se- curing a complete census of all the inhabitants living within its corpOr- ate limits, the mayor and council of such municipal corporation may serve written notice to such effect upon the trustees of such school district and the census marshal at least one week previous to the taking of the school census in the said district. and there upon it shall be the duty of the cen sus marshal to include in the school census a full and complete census of all the inhabitants, whether within school age or otherwise, who are re- siding within the corporate limits of said municipal corporation. Provid- ed. however. That the added expense incident thereto shall be first pro- vided for by the municipal corpora ton requesting such complete cen sus"
 Fortunately, also, the question of expense is already settled. The local light company has offered to defray the expense of recount and no doubt it will be all the more willing to meet the expenses of an official census.

ton, more or less reliable, that it is the only perfect" constitution ever written-albeit it provides for an un- limited soaking of Maricopa county taxpayers at the hands of a board of equalization elected by populations hostile to this county. We already have the information that said con stitution is an inspired" document. the criticism whereof in any language. however mild, is sacrilege.
 So that Colonel Bryan cannot tell us anything new in favor Of the con stitution We may, for the sake of being pleasant and agreeable, admit all the fine things he can say for it.
 What all of us will really wish to know from Colonel Bryan when he comes is, his prescription for curing our age-long ache, for statehood with that constitution. How is the precious document to serve our purposes at Washington?
 If Colonel Bryan can tell us how and why we shall get statehood with the constitution he comes to praise, his visit will not be-in vain.

It had it's Foundation in theories of life evolved in the ages of ignorance. in an age when life was primitive and men had not come to reflect upon the deeper motives of human actions.
 In our civilization. big and potent as it is, we should be able tO see our duty clearer We should he big enough to see that if it is wrong to receive into our homes the woman who sometime in her life has gone astray. it is also wrong to receive the man who has sinned and who because of double standard of morals goes on shining. The woman. as a rule. who has made a mistake and is repentant. is not nearly as likely to corrupt or taint the lives of those with whom she comes in contact as is the man who is al- his associations no matter what his past may have been.
 There are very few women in this world who have deliberately fallen from grace The majority have gone wrong through the wiles of others and because as girls they were not properly trained for the combat with the world or made ac- quainted with the basic principles of life. Sheer ignorance. and nothing else. coupled with a license m re- gard to freedom of action and asso- citation that is startling to any one who stops long enough to think of the risk, is responsible for a good many of the victims who yearly fall into the nav or the thing known as the White Slave Traffic. And these victims are kept there through the cold blooded and inhuman attitude of the relatives and friends who should. at least. show more of the spirit of the Good Samaritan.
 If the prodigal son is to be re- ceived into his fathers house with open arms. then. too. should the prodigal daughter he so received. This encouragement and this hope will go a long way towards helping her redeem her past and towards keeping her out of trouble in the

OPENING THE DOORS

We have the public school plants. but most of us no more appreciate what it means to have these possessions than the people in Europe before l492 ap- preciated what it meant to have the |earth" says The Survey. There was a whole hemisphere of incalcuable wealth and opportunity about which they knew nOthinng. And in the pub lie school plant there is a whole hemi- shpere of value unrealized. undiscov cred. by those who thing of tt simply as a building for the education of chil- dren with the additional use of an oc- casional evening school"
 This opening paragraph of the re- port of the school extension committee was the chief feature of one of the most interesting sessions at the Buff falo convention of the National muni- cipal league.
 The report defined a social center as
 the public building or group or build
 ngs and grounds which form the capit- al of the neighborhood, and focal point of its common educational, recreational. political and social life. the institution which is to the neighborhOOd or smaller division of a city as the civic center is to the city as a whole" The complete and fully equipped social center has nowhere been realized. but the testi- mOny of many speakers from many cities showed the progress made toward it. Professor Charles Zueblin and the Rev. Samuel M. Brothers traced its ancestory from the primitive gather ings Of free men in ancient Greece and Rome and Palestine down through the folk mote of northern Europe, the old New England town meeting and the citizen gatherings in the little red school house in the colony of Massa- chuseets bay.

Welcome to Bryan.

It is announced that the Hon. Will liam Jennings Bryan. an amiable gen tIeman of large fame. is to come into Arizona to make ''whirlwind cam paign" in favor of the adoption of the pending constitution. The com ing of the peerless colonel for this purpose will be in the nature of car rying coals to Newcastle. or an in vasion of Holland by the Dutch.
 Just why the former leader of the democratic party is so much inter ested in securing the ratification of a constitution which will defeat state hood for Arizona, nobody has told us Perhaps he wishes to be mixed up on even the temporarily winning side, for once in his life. If so, nobody in Arizona will begrudge the pleasure the experience may give him. The eminent statesman from Nebraska has encountered defeat so steadily during the last fifteen years-the latest and most humiliating rebuff having been administered by his own party in his own state-that possibly it will give him some joy to be the leader of a winning fight just once. He will receive a cordial welcome from republicans as we'll as demo- crats and socialists Notwithstanding the heated advice given to democrats by their leader in Maricopa county when the republicans were so i'm pudent' as to import a speaker from Oregon, and notwithstanding that republicans have not forgotten the fine courtesy that was thus shown d visitor we guarantee that no re- publican win advocate the throwing" of Colonel Bryan into the Colorado river" On the contrary, he will he treated with the courtesy that is due one of the really great men of the world-a man who. although wrong in many of his notions as to the most practical methods of reform. is never theless a decided force for good gov ernment
 But Colonel Bryan will find a dif- ficult job cut out for him. We have already heard all about the constitu- ton. We already have the informa-

"She's the best press agent in the
country" so said man recently who
is in a position to judge Of such mat
tiers concerning the publicity work OF
Mrs. Claiming Pollock, better known
in the professional world as Miss
Anna Marble.
Mrs. Pollock comes of several gener-
ations of stage folk and seemed pre-
destined for career as an actress.
but as she herself says, Il had no
hnnkering for the limelight, but my
relatives kept heading me toward the
stage. Finally John Dunn persuaded
me to become press agent for Flora
dora which he brought to America,
and my work has been cut out for me
ever since"
From that time on Miss Marble has
handled the publicity for Oscar Ham
merstein's grand opera, press ACCENTED
several vaudeville houses and went
out ON the road ahead Of Nazimova
when she first came to this country.
AT present she is press agent for New
York'S mammoth show, the Hippo
