TOWN OF VALDEZ
 OWES ONLY $1S,000

In spite of all the improvements in Valdez the past few months the financial condition of the city is bet ter than it has been since the days when Logan Archibald left the coun- Gil. The city now owes $1S,000 and when the taxes are in this fall the council will secure enough to reduce the indebtedness to about $13,000.

LoCGERS WAIT
FOR WEATHER
Contractors Well Up with Work and
Cold and Snow Would Be
Welcome.

Cold weather and snow are the two
weather conditions the loggers of all
northern Minnesota are enxiously
awaiting and there is general COM
plant of the open winter which has
thus far prevailed in this section.
The Virginia & Rainy Lake COM
pany has in 81 camps in the country
about Cusson and to the north of this
city and is working about $500 men
in the woods. It has 100000 of logs
on the skids and camp foremen would
be much pleased with snow and crisp
Minnesota winter weather.
The general unusual condition
in the woods is reflected in the
unrest of the woodsmen. Men are
coming and going from the camps
daily and the Virginia & Rainy Lake
company alone has paid out $4,000
in money to men who came out of
the woods since the season opened.
Labor is not scarce and there are
plenty of men available, but the
woodsmen seem disconnected and old
time loggers account for the fact by
the statement that a real lumberjack
doesn't like winter in the woods
when the ground is bare Of snow and
the season is "backward."
At the beginning of the season the
wages being paid were from $26 to

DR.. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
STARTLES US.
n
louisville News.

Inc Loulsville-CourierJ Journal quotes
Or. Washington as saying in a recent
speech that ''the Negro should stop
lighting segregation and lend his fore
es toward identifying the neighbor-
hood in which he lives" If DR.. Wash
lngton is correctly quoted this is mos.
dlscouraging. 1t is inconceivable that
one who occupies so prominent a DO
sition in the Afro-American world
should so far forget his position and
MS dignity as to urge his race to cease
protesting against the most cowardly
and humiliating legislation in the lano.
1t is safe to say that segregation
mas many champions even among our
race, but almost without exception
they are to be found among the ele-
ment where there is the least intelli-
gence and where there is an inherent
fear of opposing anything the white
man chooses to do. But here we are
smitten from an unexpected quarter; a
recognized leader of his race, an edu-
Gator, tells us to forget our manhood;
TO forget the sacred and inalienable
rights of political and personal liberty
and to passively submit to the humili-
alton OF being pushed aside as though
we are a race of lepers, because we
would seek cleaner and healthier neigh
borhoods inswhich to live.
To submit to degradation without
serious objection is worse than coward
~; it is unmanly and ignoble and any
race that would do so without exhaust
ing every means of moral and legal
protest is unworthy of the name OF
civilized. Segregation is wrong, wrong
in principle and fact; and, if DR.. Wash
lngton believes it is wrong, as we think
ne does, it is to be deeply regretted
that he lacks the moral stamina to
say
1t is obvious even to the friends and
supporters of DR.. Washington, that if
he is quoted accurately, he can not
in the future be regarded as being in
sympathy with the Afro american who
places his self-respect and manhood
above everything else, and who is not
willing to sacrifice either for the sake
OF living on more congenial terms with
his white brother.
DR.. Washington's statement is as
puzzling to the News as it is painful,
because even if he believes that we
should not oppose segregation it
seems worse than a blunder for him
to throw open so vulnerable spot to
the many opponents of his policies by
saying So
However, the advice of the sage of
Tuskegee is not going to have any
effect on our local fight one way or
the other. Surprise and disgust are
expressed on all sides by those who
read his quotation and the News is
forced to confess to the drawing of
some very painful conclusions, none of
which are too complimentary to Dr.
Washington

ANNIVERSARY OF ATLANTA'S
SHAME.

Eight years have passed since the
bloody massacre of innocent Afro
Americans at Atlanta, Georgia, and we
reprint from the Independent, Du
Bois' famous "A Litany of Atlanta
that the race may not forget the aw.
full days when Colored men, women
and children were shot down like dogs
because of their race. Not a single
of any crime whatever.
The massacre was caused by the
incendiary editorials of the Atlanta
News and Journal, owned by Hoax
Smith, since governor of Georgia and
now United States senator from that
state.
In his gubernatorial canvass Smith
also made incendiary speeches incit-
ing the Caucasians against Afro-Amer-
leans and demanding that the race be
disfranchised. This has since been
done by legislative enactment
Senator Hoax Smith is said to be
the author of the Jim GROW policy Of
the present administration and he has
the active support of Vardaman, Will
liams, Clark, Heflin and nearly every
Southerner in Congress.
Every Afro-American parent ought
to bring "A Litany of Atlanta" to the
attention of his children. Let them
commit it to memory-it is a gem of
perfect English. Let it burn into the
souls of your children so that they
may know that in it's efforts to de-
grade the Colored race and reduce it
to condition not far removed from
slavery, the South does not hesitate
to murder innocent men, women and
children.

Surrendered Rights Never Regained.
(MartinShurg Pinneer Press

(Martinsburg Pioneer Press.)
Editor Dabney, of the Cincinnati,
Ohio Union, like Hon. H. c. Smith of
the old reliable Gazette of Cleveland,
is up in arms against sprout1ng caste
in his city. Right you are, that rights
surrendered are seldom regained.
Your contention that a few teachers
salaries amount to nothing compared
to the cowardlessness of the men and
women mixed schools give us is true
Our early life was spent in the schools
of Chicago, never sitting by the side
of children of darker color. Leaving
that city and going south to teach,
about ten years later we returned to
Chicago and going to the Appellate
Court, found our class and seat mate,
Mr.. Frank Lane, head clerk over more
than hundred clerks. We embraced
each other and before all of the clerks
he wept with joy and said to his first
assistant Take my place, for John
and are going to paint the old town
red today" He got his buggy and
took us over all of our prank grouno-,
and o! what a time we had that day.
One of the old teachers threw her
arms around us, and many of the then
boys were then men in various kinds
of business and all greeted us, and
Mrs. Curtin, one of the noblest and
sweetest women Chicago ever owned,
and for whom the whole city mourned
greeted us as mother would her
long gone and returned son. Mix the
schools. for there is no color in heaven.

TURKEYS GREAT COUP.

That was neat coup executed by
Turkey. Seeing that the time was
opportune she has by stroke OF the
pen abolished the obnoxious system OF
extraterritoriality and declared her
self supreme in her own house.
The principle of extraterritoriality
has been very exasperating to the
Turks. The alleged christian
powers, because the Turks are Of Ash.
attic origin and Mohammedans, assume
that they were unable to handle their
own affairs and compelled them by
force of their superior warships to
submit to the indignity of allowing
consular courts of the various powers
to take the place of the regular Turk
ish courts. Then Great Britain, Rus
STA, Germany, France, Austria and
Italy established branch postofices in
the various cities of the Ottoman EN-
pire for the use Of foreigners and in
order to compete with these usurping
establishments the Turks were
obliged to sell stamps at prices below
the regular postal union rates. The
subjects of the great powers were
treated with more consideration than
Turkish citizens and exempt from tax
alton.
The situation was almost unbear-
able, but the outrageous condition was
backed by the combined. navies of
Europe so what could the poor Turks,
who had but few bum battleships,
do? When they voiced strong pro-
tests against the injustice of the
thing, the Christian powers simply
pointed to their warships.
Then came a change. The great
Christian powers began to spring at
each others threats and while they
were engaged in the delightful pas.
time of numbering men with machine
guns, Turkey, which is now ruled by
the young Turks" who have modern
lied court procedure and brought the
tribunals Of justice up to date, seized
