A MEANS TO AN END.

The mayor used his Negro
FRIENDS and "The Birth of a Ma
ton" as means to an end, by secur-
ing legal decision as to his power
to revoke licenses, and this power was
an end to their appeals and protests.
He caused burden of expense on the
taxpayers by weeks court proce-
dure, also much expense to Mr.. Balm
bridge, the theatre manager, and left
it to his advisory committee, "who
saw no harm in the play" He has
not measured up to that standard OF
dignity becoming public official. He
is a poor politician and poorer mathe-
matician. He can't figure the cost OF
his action. 1t is political suicide. 1t
were far better that he had permitted
the show without the advertising.
There are some things within the
bounds OF charity, loyalty and public
sentiment, and others within the pale
of selfishness, lawlessness and invis-
ible interests. May God direct Mayor
Nye so that in the future he will use
his discretionary power to differenti-
ate, so that we shall have cleaner
city government and better citizen
ship.

surrounded by a two foot path on all
sides, SO as, to make 1t convenient for
each bed to be worked by the student

been thoroughly spaded up and other
wise prepared for planting. Each stu
dent Is required to hand In a report at
the end of the spring term covering
the operations performed on the plot
and the cost OF producing the different
vegetables In the bed.
The wheat plot consists Of thirty
rows OF winter wheat. divided into
three parts CT ten rows each and treat,
ed as follows: The first ten rows are
MANFRED with stable manure. the Sec
ond ten rows untreated. and the last
ten rows are treated with acid phos-
phate fertilizer ut the rate OF 6Ot
pounds to an acre. This IL done. to as

Home Training Most Important.

We are prone to think that the
Negro Is by nature religious and
therefore moral. He is both: but ne

Often the foremost woman in the
