CLEANUP
A BIG SUCCESS
Many Pullman Citizens Chase Tin
Cans and Observation-Disclosures
District Presents Much I'M
proved Condition

Tin cans, bottles, and other rub
bish fell before the onslaught of
Pullman's citizens Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week and as a
result the residence districts of Pull
man present the cleanest and most
sanitary appearance for many
months. The two days had been
proclaimed official cleanup days by
Mayor Shaw, the Chamber of Com
merce had taken an active part In
preparations for the two days clean
up, and it only remained for the
citizens to show the proper spirit and
do the work incident to the renova-
ton. That they did not fail in this
is proved by the appearance of the
front yards, back yards and alleys in
the residence districts after the &C
tivities had ceased on Wednesday
evening.
A drizzling rain on Tuesday morn
ing threatened to put a decided
damper upon the ardor Of the advo-
Gates for a cleaner and more sanitary
Pullman, but the weather man was
not so unkind after all, as he turned
off the tap before noon and Old Sol
came out in all his glory to rejuyin-
ate the spirits of the downcast The
property owners and tenants in the
residence districts went to work with
will, and by nightfall a large ma
jority of the residence properties nAu

day was devoted to cleaning up va
cant property and alleys, in the dif-
ferent districts as outlined in last
week s Herald.
While the householders in the
residence districts did their work
With a will and accomplished much
good, many owners of downtown
property let the two days go by I'M

the business section are still piled
high with rubbish, despite the eff
forts of those in charge of the clean
up operations to instill the SAM

business men alike.

FORFEITED Debate
COSTS CHAMPIONSHIP
Pullman Wins Two and Gets One on
Forfeit, but Is NOsed Out of
County Championship by
Winona on Three Wins

By winning unanimous decision
over Endicott high school in the
county debate held last Friday even
ing in the high school auditorium,
the Pullman team completed an I'M
broken string of victories and incl
dentally placed itself in line for the
championship of Whitman county.
In Friday evenings debate, Pullman
had the affirmative of the state ques-
ton, Resolved, That the immigra-
ton of unskilled laborers from the
countries of eastern and southern
Europe should be excluded from the
United States" The team was COM
posed of Eric Egge, Helen Reyes and
Erick Klossner. Endicott was rep
resented by Raymond Darden, Wal
ter Hellbaum and Carrie Fickler.
The debate was spirited and inter-
esting from start to finish and the
losers are deserving of commenda-
ton for the sportsmanlike spirit dis
played in the face of defeat.
On the same evening Winona won
a unanimous victory from Farming
ton, which confined the race for the
county championship to these two
teams. to be decided by County
Superintendent Busbey on points. A
canvass by the superintendent
showed that Winona had landed the
county championship with total OF
II points, with Pullman second with
nine points, and Pennington third
with seven.
Under the rules of the series OF de-
bates, each vote received by team
counted one point, while one point
was added for winning. Except in the
last contests the official vote OF the
Judges was not announced, although
the winning team was apprised OF
its victory. Previous to Friday even
ing's contests, Pullman had won one
debate from Colfax, while Palouse
had forfeited, and Winona had won
two contests. This gave Winona
considerable advantage as far as
points are concerned, in as much IS
the forfeited debate counted only two
points for the local team, while It
would have been possible to annex
four points had the debate been held.

There are only 100000 American

they're dying off. There are 10000
900 of us, and the government isn't
called on to do a thing for us, as a
race"
OF the negroes, 100000 are in the
southern states, and S5 per cent. of
these in rural districts or villages. He
thinks that the negro's best chance is
in the south. The southern white is
more tolerant of the negro's differ
ences from the white race. He is more
inclined to give the negro a chance.
That's all we want he said Just
chance. l saw the other day that
S50,O00,000 is being spent annually to

The honor of class oratory, assigned
to negro at Harvard, is indeed a
creditable achievement, though elo-
quence in this fervid and imaginative
race is not an unusual endowment,
many negro preachers having mani
tested this moving quality. 1t is stated
that this graduate-to-be has it in mind
TO devote his life to the uplift of his
race. There is ample opportunity for
many lives to be so devoted. The
freed race has progressed unevenly,
individual specimens attaining to
high degree of knowledge and culture,
while the mass of blacks are as much
the wards of civilization as ever they
were in the days of bondage Not till
individual culture begins to bear fruit

I'm no professional agitator for
temperance" said Booker Washington.
in a recent address, but keep whisky
away from the negro. In the counties
and states where there are no open
barrooms the negro is so per cent bet
ter off. don't believe that prohibition
increases drunkenness, as one so often
hears. Certain men will get whisky
anywhere-but in prohibition counties
you hear of the ten men who do get
whisky-and you don't hear of the 100
men who do not.
There are 100000 colored people al
ways sick from preventable causes"
said he. Some one is paying the bill.
Not the colored man directly-for he
can't"
He opposes segregation In cities
mot because the colored man objects
to associating with his own people. He
is proud of his race. He wants to as
sociate with his own kind. But ex-
perience has taught him that where
he is segregated the street lights are
DINNER and the streets muddier and
the sidewalks more full of holes and
the police service more Indifferent
than in other parts of the same town
but that he is made to pay his full
share of the bills
Nor is he in sympathy with the prop
osition to plant immigrants on the
soil of the south. The colored man, he
thinks, is already fitted to his environ
ment. If he is given fair chance he
is the most satisfactory laborer the
southern employer can have. But he
wants little of the comforts of life.
He wants good church and school and
social facilities in the country dis
tricts.
"The white folks of Dallas county,"
said he, held a meeting in the court
house one night to discuss the ques-

stumped him. After 1t was over he
met the sheriff.

could not understand that word i'm
