After an experiment of two months
Lincoln School has demonstrated the
success of its children's cafe. From
fifteen to twenty items make up the
bill OF fare each day with no item
selling for more than four cents. 1t
has been shown that pupils may be
provided with a warm, fresh lunch
at a daily cost of from six to ten
cents. From two hundred to three
hundred teachers and pupils are regu-
lar patrons of the cafe and visit sfrom
parents are quite frequent. This is
said to be the only Negro school in
which the moo lunch is under the
direction of the domestic science de-
partment and supervised by the higher
officials. Only those pupils who go
home for lunch are permitted to leave
the school grounds during the noon
intermission. II is the intention of

An official returning from Alaska
reports that white men are not only
exploiting the natives in the most
fragrant manner for financial graft,
but that they are debauching the
wives and daughters of these timid
people in the most shocking manner,
all of which is in keeping with the
history of the white men in their re.
lations toward so-called inferior races
everywhere.

1t is hoped that the reported threat
of Governor Major to dismiss both
of the Police Commissioners will be
quickly carried out and that their
places may be filled by men of higher
patriotic instincts. The most sacred
trust of a public official is the trust
Of protecting life and liberty and
should never be given over to men
of confessed narrowness and preju-
dice.

If Governor ONeal of Alabama lives
up to the spirit of the great address
which he delivered at Tuskegee last
week he will create a new era in favor
of decent opportunities for Negro
education in his state. He declared
ignorance to be the greatest foe of a
free government and education to be
the birthright OF every citizen, black
or white. This principle, he said, will
be his guide as executive of the state.
