ST|MSON IS SPEAKER
AT Y.M.C.A. DEDICATION
Exercises Are Held at New
Twelfth Street Branch of
the Organization.

In place OF President Taft, scheduled
to have spoken at the dedication yester-
day OF the new 18th street branch Of the
Y. M. c. A., 1916 18th street, the corner
stone of which was laid by President
Roosevelt, Secretary of War Stimson was
the orator at the exercises. and defend
ed Mr.. Taft's attitude on religious and
racial questions
The gymnasium Of the new building,
where the exercises were to have been
held, was found too small to accommo-
date the large number of colored people.
Secretary Stimson spoke from the steps
Of the building to crowd that filled the
street to both ends of the block. and
which cheered his sentiments freely and
loudly.
''You know how President Taft" he
said, showed his interest in developing
the colored branch Of the Y. NJ. c. A.
In the District by contributing generously
to the building fund. He has shown time
and again his deep interest in the colored
race and in the Y. NJ. C. A. movement
Lauds President Taft.
President Taft is more free from class
feeling than any man 1 have ever known
of, despite any reports to the contrary
and especially for those who have not
had the same advantages as others. Were
it possible he would be here to tell you
this himself. and he much regrets his in
ability to be present.
THE erection of this building is some
thing for the colored race to be proud of,
designed as it was by colored man,
money contributed by colored people. 1t
shows that the race is capable of accom-
plishing much II given the opportunity.
1T Is also significant that gifts of white
men and of people not come ted with the
Christian religion helped in a large way
to make the completion of this building
possible. julius Rosenbaum. a Hebrew
OF Chicago, contributed $4,000 to the
building fund. This shows that there is
a tendency to give the colored people a
chance to show what they can do.
Great National Problem.
THE problem of the colored race is a
section and no particular class of people.
1t can never be solved except by the CO.
operation Of peoples of all religions and
all races. We must face 1t as Americans.
all fighting together under one flag for az
common end"
Other speakers were DR.. George Otis
Smith, president of the Washington Y. M.
C. A.; w. Knowles Cooper, general sec
rotary Of the Washington Y. NJ. c. A.,
and r. C. Morse. References to ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt were made by each of
them. E. J. Morton. chairman of the
colored branch presided.
The conservation services were held this
morning in the new building. The Allied
Minister'S Union conducted the exercises.
The rest Of the week will be given over
to exercises in commemQration of the
opening of the building.

IS THE VALLEY
DOING ITS PART
FOR HOMESEEKEES

For weeks the Press has devoted
much of its energy to arousing in Los
Angeles an interest in Imperial valley,
and in this work ii has met an unusu
al degree of success
But now, when the attention of the
outside world is called to this valley
we are facing. the fact that the peo-
pie of the valley are doing almost moth
ing to make use Of the splendid oppor-
tunity afforded them.
There are hundreds of thousands of
people hunting for just such homes as
Imperial valley has to offer, but the
policy of the valley is similar to that
Of Macawber, waiting for something
to turn up
There is no organized movement to
challenge the attention OF the people
out of the valley TO what we have to
offer. There is no song of the praises
of Imperial valley that reaches the
ears of the multitude.
1t is not as il should be, and while
we are blaming others for lack of ap-
probation, it is we'll for the people of
the valley to pause long enough to
consider how they can take advantage
Of the opportunities presented.
All things come to him who hustleS
while he waits.

GOVERNMENT OPENING
BIDS FOR NEW WARSHIPS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Bids will
be opened today at the navy depart
ment for the construction OF the two
gigantic new warshipS. Oklahoma and
Nevada. 1t was originally intended to
open the bids January f. but a post
ponement was granted to permit ship
builders TO amend their bids because
OF the ruling of the navy department
that those undertaking the contracts
must establish the eight-hOur day
throughout their plants. This decision
has necessitated a revision upward
in the bids on the Nevada and Okla
hOma.
II is understood that the bidders
have made considerable increases in
their estimates to cover the increased
cost Of construction under the opera
ton Of an eight-hour day 1t is feared
that the bids will be so largely in
creased as to bring them above the
limit of cost imposed by congress, and
so cause a further delay in building
the new vessels
Ship builders who have shared in
the government work have long strenu-
ously opposed the application of the
eight-hOur day law TO work done by
there have been several cases in the
last two years where no acceptable
bid was received because of the eight
hour restriction. Now the rule is to
apply to all employees of a ship yard
doing work for the navy whether the
men have anything to &c with the gov
ernment contract or not. At least, this
is the practical effect of the ruling,
although it does not say so in 50 many
words
Congress has fixed the limit of cost
of the Oklahoma and Nevada at Sc. .0O0,-
600 each, exclusive of armor and arma-
ment. 1t is the intention Of the de-
partment to have both ships built in
private Yards instead of in a navy
yard. If the bids exceed the limitation
imposed by congress, that body must
he appealed to for more money. ANY
change in the specifications reducing
the cost would be bitterly opposed by
the officers of the navy.
The only navy yard with facilities
for building such ships as the Okla
homa and Nevada is the New York
yard, which is already taxed to it's
capacity in the construction of the
New York.

RECORD or THE GINS
LOOKING VERY GOOD

Above is a summary of the opera
tion of the gins of the valley for the
season up to January IS, the amount
being about 1000 bales in excess Of
the total output of the valley last year,
while it is expected that the output
this year will reach fully 5000 bales.
These figures indicate that the end
of the cotton harvest, which began
September Is. is near at hand. Pick
ing probably will continue for a few
weeks longer. however, and there Will
be record Of full half year of cot
ton picking This is a condition un-
known elsewhere and is made possible
by perfect climatic conditions.
