SELF-INTEREST AND THE NEGRO

1t would be much to the credit o
Columbia to house its negro population
under more sanitary conditions than
now prevail. \ walk through the ne

tions that are a disgrace to an age OF
scientific sanitation, an age that al
most gets the horrors" at the thought
of germs.
The conditions of negro life i'll Co.
lumbia afford little more chance. phys
ically, for life than do the conditions
in a village of primitive blacks in
Africa. The yards are frequently un-
clean and many of the houses are set
up in the air on silt foundations. Il

held in distrust and in subjugation in
order that life for the Caucasian may
be safe in a community where many
negroes live. Still many crimes are
against white men. So.

in defense several times that dyna-
mite had been placed by capitalist
hirelings for the purpose of arousins
prejudice against the case of the un-
ion men.
The case of the Seattle man lends
force to the suspicious aroused by
the charges of the union men in the
cases recently finished. The union
dynamiters have at least the appear
ance of sincerity in some cases. They
seem to believe they are fighting for
the cause of the mass of people when
they resort to dynamite to back their
failing fight for better conditions. The
case of the Seattle man has not this
advantage. 1t is obviously hypocriti-
cal and vicious. The act was done
for the purpose of arOusing prciudic"

VIEWPOINTS
Who Would Pity Il Railroad! !

Editor the MiSOurian:-lf any one
wonders why business is not picking
up more rapidly after the depression
of last year. let him notice the con-
dition of the transportation industry
at present. Congress recently made
appropriations for expenses for hand
ling the mail including the parcel
post. but practically no additional pay
was granted the railroads for the cost
of hauling the rapidly increasing bus
mess of the pOstOfiice.
This act in itself seems to be grossly
negligent. In combination with other
conditions il looks still worse. The
United States Express Company is go
ing out of business on account of the
competition of the parcel post. That
means decreased revenue for the rail
roads. True. another company will no
doubt take over the business of the
United States company. but it will not
pay the railroads the price the first
company could not continue to pay.
The business of other companies has
also been decreased.
The railroads are now asking for an
increase in freight rates on the ground
that their present income is not suili-
cient. The increase they ask may be
necessary but it is fairly well cstab-
liShed that a slight increase is needed.
Only about year ago the big systems
suffered a loss of millions of dollars
worth of property in the floods of Ohio
and Indiana. But who ever beard of
sympathy for a railroad? The 1--WE
should worry" attitude seems to be the
rule with the country in regard to rail-
roads. Can they be expected to push
their safety campaigns while this
combination of circumstances remain?

4 DYNAMITER,

fessed that he planted dynamite for
the express purpose of obtaining the
arrest of striking teamsters whose
strike he was helping to break. He
should be dealt with summarily. Ii

status of such a man.
More than a score of union dyna-

THE GIRL WHO WORKS,

should Il girl wait two years after
finishing high school to earn money
and then 90 through the University in
the ordinary way. or should she come
to school Immediately and work her
way?"
This question. which is to he de-
bated next Tuesday, brought out some
illuminating discussion at recent
meeting OF the University Woman'S
Debating Club. Most of the young
women spoke from personal expert
cnce.
More University women than an oc-
casional glance at the campus crowds
might indicate. are making sacrifices
and some are ever enduring real
hardships that they may get an edu-
cation. Girls told of living in COM
munty houses. of working for their
board and room and of doing other
kinds of work. One student boards
at the Cafeteria and by doing without
meat and a few other luXurieS. cuts
her bOard-bill to s. month.
Students who are here because they
haven't anything else to do or because
ii is the customary thing. may not
realize what getting an education
means. Often il is a pitiable fact that
they do not have a clear comprehen-
sion of their privilege and thus lose
the best part of their four-year course.
Those actual cases which show the
determined ambition of young women
should jar the self-satisfied ones out
of their rut. Such questions of debate
and informal discussion broaden the
students point of view.
