Watkins might be expected to
concoct. and he was evidently
looking for well-feathered nest
for himself when he had the bill
introduced. But the Courier

Watkins plea for its adoption.
Practically every member of the
committee opposed the bill.

GERMAN NAVAL MEASURE

Much concern has been felt in
the United States over the report
last week that Germany's newly
announced naval measure extend
ing the war zone to the waters
around Great Britain and maxine
neutral vessels liable to attack bv
submarines in that region. Be-
cause the full text and intent of
the order was not known, it was
felt that it would be difficult to
keep the United States out of par
icipation in the war, because un-
der the order as it was at first un-
derstood. American vessels were
almost certain to be attacked and
American citizens would almost
certainly be killed or injured, and
our duty to our own citizens would
not permit us to allow such con-
duct on the part of a belligeremt
nation to pass unnoticed. In other
words. the United States, as it APP
Deared. would be forced to take a
hand in protecting it's own pro-
perty and citizens.
But the Berlin government now
explains that no hostile action
against neutral shipping is con-
templated. The German subma-
rines and warships are to use ev-
cry endeavor to avoid sinking Am
erican, or other neutral vessels,
and under ordinary precautions
they will be practically as safe as
they now are.
The proclamation by the Ger.
man admiralty declaring the wa
tiers around Great Britain war
zone, like similar British meas
ures taken as a precedent. is in
tended only to warn neutral ships
that when there thny will be i'm
the naval field. and exposed ia
similar dangers that any neutral
would be when venturing onto q
battlefield-running the risk of
being struck by chance shot.
1t is asserted that the Germans
have no intention of sinking an
American, or other neutral ship.
unless she is carrying contraband
of war. and then only after the
crew is given a chance to escape.
The warning to neutral shipping
it is asserted. was brought about
by the reported British order
hoist a neutral flag when British
vessels are in danger. and to give
England. if possible, taste of
her own medicine. The aim is not
at neutral commerce.

VETO KILLED n

Inc immigration bill is dead.
Three times has there been an
immigration bill passed by as
many different congresses. and
three times has it been killed by
a Presidents veto. The first one
was killed by President Cleveland.
the second by President Taft and
the third by President Wilson.
The agitation will continue un-
til bill is finally passed that will
escape a veto. or be strong en-
Ough to override the veto. A lit
erary test is not the only test that
can be used to limit immigration
and perhops next time some other
test will be used.
The vote on the bill, both be-
fore and since the veto, was non
partisan. Party lines wholly dis
appeared. about the same propor-
ton of each party being cast both
for and against the measure. The
vote in the House last Thursday
lacked Just five votes of the neces-
sary two-thirds to pass it over
the veto. Nd

a WASHINGTON INCIDENT

one OF the most unnatural en-
mites known to exist is the enmity
between labor and capital. The
two are mutually dependent. and
mutually helpful. and should be
the closest Of friends. Yet they
are nearly always enemies. and
why? The reason obviously is.
that neither fully understands the
others view point.
Down in Washington. d. c., the
other day. capital and labor join
ed hands in a most Unusual way.
and it produced good results.
when John D. Rockefeller. Jr.. had
q personal interview with mo
Their" Jones. the high priestess of
organized labor. Each made a
surprisingly favorable impression
upon the other. and they parted
with the warmest Of good feeling.

asparagus does we'll in North
Dakota. 1t should be started in the
spring on land that has been thor
oughly enriched by blowing under
fifty loads of wefl rotted stable
manure per acre to depth of 10
or IL inches. Set the plants in
burrows a foot deep and four
feet apart. Use one year old plants
and set them 80 that the crowns
will be four or five inches below,
the surface of the soil. The secret
OF successful asparagus ;culture
is to keep the land rich. This can
be done bv successive top dress

Americans can be free and equal
without danger to the Republic"
No prejudice nor pressure at WASH

Nearo constituency. Alliance holds
bioaest and most enthusiastic meet
ing for years.
To the Peoples Sunday Alliance is
due great credit. for having such a
man as our next congressman 10
speak to us and tell us as best he can
what we may expect of him in Wash
ington. Denver witnessed new
scene, an unusual spectacle, when the
Presbyterian church was comfortably
filed with race men and women and
representatives of the white people.
After singing John Browns Body"
and reading the Emancipation Procla-
nation, the spirit of freedom and
brotherIy kindness and consideration
reigned, filling the room with patri-
otic inspiration. The faces of the
audience were radiant with racial
feryor and enthusiasm, for real en-
had possessed the gath
ering.
Beginning his speech with words
something like these: mo race VINO
and continuously cele-
brates it's birthdays, it's great days
which marked great experiences and
crises, can ever be perpetualiy SUD-
iected or made Inferior" Congress-
man Hilliard, a rare spirit for his
party, voiced the encouraging mes
sage of the strong, dominant Cancas-
ian: and in word and prayer and song
came back the assurance that the
swarthy brother had caught the note
of equality, justice and uplifted citi-
and was hopeful OF his pro-
eressiye history and ultimate destiny
in this country. Congressman Hill
lard, after briefly reciting the many
through which the Negro
had passed to get to his present sta
tus. dramatically referred to the
God hath made OF one
blood all nations of men," Acts II:
26; land Malachi, when speaking for
a company, said, Have we not all
one Father? Hath not one God Gre
ated us? Why do we deal treacher-
ously every man against the other?'
His spirit of fairness and plain talk
ringing with SO much sincerity sim
ply thrilled the audience.
He then touched upon the segrega-
ton, caste and prejudice in Washing
ton, if any existed, and assured MS
hearers, just as he had been fair and
square with them in the past, no pre-
judice nor pressure of anybody could
make him do his fellow man an In
Justice. Here the audience gave him
a great ovation, and after his speech
many old men and women took MS
hand and fervently shaking 1t, said
they would pray that God would
cause him to act upon every occasion
in the future just the way he talked
to us New Years night.
