Aeschylus a. Syracuse.

For four days in April dramas of the
Athenian tragic poet Aeschylus were
performed in the old Crock theater at
Syracuse. in eastern Sicily. Aeschylus
has long been popular in Syracuse.
Twenty-threc centuries ago Athenian
prisoners taken in the great defeat be-
fore that city, and sold as slaves after
the custom OF the time, earned their
freedom by reciting the verses of their
great poet. Perhaps some of the men
thus set at liberty organized com

ANTLTIP AGITATION
AND PULLMAN PORTERS

salaried at less than pullman por-
ters?
l refer particularly to pages or
redcappers in stations owned by
large railroads and union stations,
operated by syndicated railroads
where in many cities they receive
salaries merely sufficient to legal
ize their services.
If, as they contend, expectation
and acceptance of gratuities be-
base and demoralize and that it is
for moral and humanitarian reas-
ons they agitate, it would only
seem logical and reasonable that
{ they begin where tipping is most
general and most generous. thus
beginning where the danger of de-
moralization is most imminent and
working around TO pullman porters.
But as blind as we would be, wa
see everything.
Only casual analysis will suffice
to convince one that this unfor-
tunate agitation is conveived in
and born of prejudice that is a
rank injustice to pullman porters.
They are class of servants that
deserve much better.
OF course everyma1p wants all
he can get for his hire, but we
must admit that the hysteria of
these agitators will be accepted
with better grace when they decide
to share their uncomfortable SYM
pathies with those of their own
blood who are serving as walters
on S25.0Q and $1,000 salaries and
those serving as redcappers for
corporations that can buy and sell
the Pullman Co. for less salaries
than are paid pullman porters.
Then and not until then will we
appreciate as we would like to,
their oratoIy aud ink.

Special to Colorado Statesman.
1t is not my purpose to discuss
here the salary phase of this prop
osition, preferriug TO leave it solely
to those whose business it is and
whom it only should concern-the
Pullman Co and the Pullman Por-
tiers.
Neither is it my desire to pass
upon the propriety or ethical
features Of the general system of
gratuities.
l merely wish to PROFOUND some
pertinent questions Of information
to those who have singled out pull
man porters as objects of their
spasms.
1.-THE system of gratuities is uni
versally recognized, countenanced
and practiced by all classes from
millionaire to tramp. why have
pullman porters been singled from
other recipients of gratuities for
all this voluminous agitation?
If, in their capacity, they serve
as faithfully and satisfactorily as
recipients in other capacities, are
they not as much entitled to fee
if the party served is disposed to-
donate? And if not, why?
When pullman porter con-
scientiously serves in his capacity
of administering to the comforts of
the same passengers for from one
to four consecutive days aud
nights, if any body is, who is more
entitled to fee than this same
pullman porter?
Considerable capital has been
made of a crouch, (Which in most
instances is purely imaginary
that porters are alleged to express
when offered small fee. In rebut-
tai it needs only be suggested that
it is a matter of general informa-
ton to those of public experience
that pullman porters and colored
walters are more profuse in their
of small fees than
any other class of servants with |
whom they come in contact.
We have hesitated to believe
that pullman porlers were singled
out designedly because the position
ls ordinarily regarded as colored
mans job, but Developments tend
slowly, if at all, to dissipate such
If this agitation is for the sake
of economy, why not begin first
where the most can be saved?
Walters in taverns, cafes, large no,
tells and bellhops therein are
greater benehciaries of the fee sys.
tenn than pullman porters, in that
they expect more and somehow
get it.
If it is presumed that the Pull
man Co. has and is reaping har
vest and can amply afford to pay
larger salaries, why not logically
choose employees of corporations
with capital double and triple the
capital of the Pullman Co. who are

AS the curtain rose Olmstead's
orchestra played a selection from
"Adelle" which was followed by a
solo, "The Battle Hymn of the
Republic" by Miss Lena j. Broo3s
assisted by the Festival Chorus
and audience. Prayer was offered
by the Rev. John Quincy Adams
of the seminary. The Festival
Chorus then sang Jerusalem the

In making the presentation ad-
dress former Mayor Aiken said
"We are gathered here this ev-
ening to pay tribute to one of the
uoblest and greatest-character of

countless dangers and risked her

such wonderful service to her peo-

this tablet to her memory as a
heroine and patriot, and it is with
a feeling of pride that we unveil
this tablet to her memory"
At this point the lights in the
house were dimmed and Miss Alice

riet, stepped forward and drew
back the flag. In the light of the
colcred electric bulbs the effect was
most pleasing.

tribute was paid to the memory of
the late Harriet Tubman, familiar
ly known as "Aunt Harriet" on
Friday evening, June IL, when a
large bronze tablet, token of love
and esteem of the citizens of Au-
burn, was unveiled at the Auditor
ium Theatre. The tablet, which
has been placed in the County
Court House, bears the following
inscription:
In Memory of
HARRIET TUBMAN
Born a slave in Maryland about 1921.
Died in Auburn, N. Y.
March 10, 1918.
This Tablet Is Erected by the Citizens
of Auburn, 1914.
Called the "Moses" of her people
during the Civil War, with rare cour-
age, she led over three hundred Me-
groes up from slavery to freedom, and
rendered invaluable service as nurse
and spy.
With implicit trust in God she
braved every danger and overcame
every obstacle, withal she possessed ex-
traordinary foresight and judgment SO
that she truthfuIly said: "on my un-
derqround railroad | nebber run my
train off de track and | nebber los a
passenger"
The unveiling was marked by
appropriate exercices, prominent
men of both races participating.
The principal address was deliver
ed by DIR. Booker II. Washington,
who eloquently recited the achieve
ments of Harriet Tubman, glorified
her life and characterized her cour-
age, conatancy and wisdom as
models for the races of the world.
The speaker also extolled his race
for the great progress made in fifty
wears of freedom and predicted for
it a bright and happy future.
Mayor Charles w. Brister paid
glowing tribute to Aunt Har-
riet," as did former Mayor E. Clar-
ence Aiken, who presided and
made the presentation address.
Mrs. Mary E. Talbert of Buffalo,
president of the Empire of the
Empire State Federation, read an
excellent and interesting paper on
the life and deeds of Harriet Tub
man.
The spacious lower floor of the
theatre was filled and all the boxes
were occupied. Seated on the
stage were the speakers, the men,
bers of the Auburn Festival Choir
us. an orchestra and guests. In
one box was group of Civil War
veterans, while another was occu-
pied by party of prominent So
oiety women of Auburn. Con-
spicuous in front seat of lower
box was Emily Howard of Sher-
wood, to whom a tribute was paid
during the evening by DIR. Wash
ington for her kindly interest in
the Negro. Delegations repreaent-
ing colored societies, occupied
boxes, and colored citizens from
adjacent cities were present.

Ships and Waves.

When the waves of the ocean are
one-half the length Of tie ship and
one-twentieth OF the length in height
the stress upon the ship itself is very
little increased above that in smooth
water. But when the waves are OF
the same length us the ship or one and
one-half times it's length the stresses
are considerable higher than when the
snip is in smooth water: hence, in view
OF the fact that waves are seldom
