but the wary politician does not put his

the recollection of us all the New York

MILK PRICE GOES Up
TO T010CENTSAQUART
Washington Dealers Today Is
sue Notice of the Advance
to Consumers.
BELIEVED TO BE CITY WIDE

The price of milk in Washington has
gone up.
Hereafter the residents of the capital
will have to pay the advance in price
Several of the dealers today sent
notices to their customers to the effect
that hereafter the price of milk would
be 10 cents. Inquiry at the dairies
Of others brought the information that
the increase in price practically was
city-wide.
The reason given by the dealers for
the increase in price is the fact that
the producers-the farmers in Mary
land and Virginia-are demanding more
money for their milk and threatening
a strike if they don't get it.
1t is stated that a few milk dealers
in Washington have been charging 10
cents a quart for their milk in the past.
but with these few exceptions the great
bulk of the milk dealers have been SELL
ing at 9 cents a quart.
A Sample Notice.
One notice sent out to customers by
a dealer today reads as follows:
ITO meet the price demanded by the
producers, on and after November II
1916, and until further notice, prices
will be as follows: Milk. per quart, 10
cents; milk, per pint, 5 cents; cream,
per pint, 16 cents; buttermilk. per
quart, 8 cents; whipping cream per
pint, 40 cents
1t was explained that the only change
in this list of prices is the increase of
from to 10 cents for a quart of milk
The dealers contend that they cannot
afford to pay the milk producers "a
cents gallon for milk and sell it here
at SO cents a gallon and make reason
able profit, or even a living profit. The
Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers
mittee, mas issued practically an ulti-
matum to the dealers that they must
pay "a cents, which amounts to an in
crease of approximately 2 cents a
gallon.
Investigation Not Made.
When the milk producers associa-
tion was demanding an increase to "a
cents a gallon for milk supplied to
Washington, and the dealers were in
sisting that they could not afford to
give this increase and continue in husi.
ness, the suggestion was made by con-
sumers here that the whole matter
ought to be looked into by the District
Commissioners or by committee of
disiutereSted business men. Both sides
disclai timed any desire to increase the
price of milk to the ultimate consumer.
But the increase to the consumer has
come about and no investigation was
made.
The executive committee of the Milk
Producers Association gave out a
statement at the time an investigation
was suggested. saying that it would
welcome such an inquiry, that the in
crease in the cost of feed and of labor
had made 1T imperative that they OBJ
tain more for their milk or go out of
business.
1T looks" said consumer of milk
today, as though the producers and
the dealers had settled their difficult
ties and that the public must pay the
bill. 1t may be that the increase in
the price of milk is justified, but if
the public is compelled to pay, surely
II seems that it is entitled to the facts
in the case"

inability to devise any scheme where
by passengers would be prevented
from crowding on cars or carrying
their maximum number. as prescribed
by the order, but explained that. by
recurring a sufficient number OF cars
in the rush hours. it would then be
up to the public to decide whether or
not it would enjoy the benefits.

NATIONAL DEGENERACY.
Lincoln Adhered Oppression
and Despised Hypocrisy.


The speech Of Abraham Lin
coin in 1855 regarding the pollt-
zeal situation and the tendency
to disregard the rights of human
beings to life. liberty and the
pursuit of happiness is striking
~ applicable to the condition of
affairs in this country at the
present time.
Mr.. Lincoln said:
Il am not a Know Nothing
that Is certain How could l be?
How can any one who abhors
the oppression Of the Negroes
be in favor Of degrading classes
Of white people? Our progress
In degeneracy. appears to me to
be pretty rapid. As a nation we
began by declaring that all men
are created equal
I'VE now practically read it.
All men are created equal ex.
cept Negroes When the Know
Nothings get control it will read.
All men are created equal ex.
cept Negroes and foreigners and
Catholics.'
. when 1t comes to that l
should prefer emigrating to some
country where they make no
pretense of loving liberty-to
Russia. for instance. where des-
potism can be taken pure and
without the base alloy Of hypoc-
risy."

TASK FOR THE NATIONS.
Ray Stannard Bakers Plea For
Human Brotherhood.

uOUdU oTOSu0TUOOOs
Ray Stannard Baker In a re-
cent issue Of the American Mag
azine has the following to say
about prejudice of one race
against another:
"Why will men not see that
there can be no true civilization
while any men In the world are
left out of 1t and that no race and
no nation can 60 far forward
while other races and nations
lag behind?
LET the white person again
tread the black person under his
heel! (Say. which Is trodden IN
der heel after allN
st is not enough that we give
the alien nations our learning,
our religion. our science. What
signify all these things? Are
we hurt by giving them? Are
we not, on the contrary, the ma
terial gamers? No; we must be
prepared to 60 further than that,
else we have not learned the
fundamental concept of religion.
at Is not the great task of any
nation that It shall remain pure
or white or learned or that It
shall assure to its posterity the
possession of land and comfort,
though this has been the belief
and the doom Of every arist0cra-
cy from the beginning of time.
The great task Of every ad-
vanced race or nation Is to bring
more love. more light. into the
world.
"A stand for racial aristocracy
means war, hatred, barren ex-
clusiveness and finally degenera-
ton and failure; stand for ra-
cial democracy and brotherhood
means love in the world. friend
illness. sacrifice. new fertility. a
wider sweep for faith and final
triumph. Individuals may suffer
in the process. nations may per-
ish, but civilization. the kingdom
Of humanity. will grow. will be-
come more beautiful.
Eve are willing to do every.
thing for Cinnamon or Hindus
or for our own poor. except the
one essential thing. Yes. educate
them "a little': yes. teach them
the religion of resignation: yes.
give them shoes and coats. but
do not disturb us in our luxury.
1T won't work: It won't work.

selves we have failed utterly"

THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.


Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.
The moral phase of the Negro
problem Is the most serious part of
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard of the life of the
masses Is the only solution.
As with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about q reform the woman
hood of the race must be taught
how to instruct their children in
those virtues, that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro Is by nature religious and
therefore moral. He Is both; but he
Is not enough of either when Il comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because Of his crude
conception Of what the Christian re-
ligion really Is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another.
Often the foremost woman In the
church Is so far from a model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This misrepresenta-
ton OF the genuine article takes MANY
forms and sometimes the one woman
Is combination Of AFT. She allows
beer drinking, card playing, and rag
time music In her home. She Is loose
In her conversation. Her language Is
often smutty. Her demeanor be-
comes woman Of the street. Her
home Is haneout for "siiding elders"
and ioafine, hungry preachers. Her
house Is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to be men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are theregore tire freshest things In
the neiphborhood. They run the
church. They sit IN the front heat.
chew gum, talk and keep their "gang"
eiepiing. To speak TO them Is to
throw a match into a magazine Of
powder.
These wise and talented youngsters
Of the leading sisters, get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers. They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren Of too many OF those who aspire
TO leadership IN our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and Influence OF their mothers and
give Our churches aft kinds OF trouble.
What we need Is new type Of
women in our homes as mothers,
and new type Of women In our
churches as leaders and examples for
the young.
The wig wearing, gum chewing,
beer smelling. mouth running, street
trotting, home negiecting, convention
fever type Of women are out OF style,
and from them may we soon be de-
livered.

RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS OF
THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
Important Work of an Organization
Which Opposes Race Prejudice.

The National Association For the
Advancement Of Colored People, with
headquarters at 70 Fifth avenue, New
York, has a membership of 10000, with
sixty-three local branches. The asso-
citation has, among other objects, equal
ity Of opportunity for the colored peo-
pie, with exact legal justice for the
race In common with all other groups
Of citizens Of the United States. The
official organ Of the organization is the
Crisis Magazine, edited by DR.. w. e.
B. Du Bots, which has a circulation of
over $4,000.
The association Is composed Of mem
bers Of both races, but the colored peo-
pie constitute 80 per cent of the mem
bership and circulation Of the Crisis.
The society employs nearly 800 mem
bers Of our race among its workers and
maintains legal bureau for the con-
siderati0n Of cases involving discrim-
alton on account of color.
The association recently successfully
opposed the food Of legislation hostile
to colored people introduced into the
Sixty-third congress-; defeated the at.
tempt made to segregate colored peo-
pie In the civil service of the United
States; appeared through counsel in
the grandfather cases" recently ruled
upon by the supreme court in one of
the most important decisions in its his
tory; opposed segregation ordinances
In Baltimore, Louisville and st. Louis,
carrying the Louisville ordinance up to
the supreme court, where it is to be
argued by counsel representing this
association.
It also gave publicity to the dangers
Of proposed farm segregation in North
Carolina which would prevent colored
people from buying farm land; made
an investigation Of jimcrow cars and
has nearly perfected a legal case to
test the Oklahoma law in order to pre-
sent the question to the interstate COM
merce commission with the object of
securing equal accommodations for
white and black. 1t kept a film play
10 which objection was made out of
two states and several cities and in
many other places has succeeded In
having the worst scenes eliminated.

SIX GOOD REASONS
Why You Should Join The National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People.

1. It teaches that race prejudice is
the most evil thing in the world to-
day and that "Jim Crow" cars, race
segregation, anti-intermarriage
laws and all other manifestations
of 1t are unchristian and cruel eff
forts of the stronger to Cypress
the weaker
z. It combats in the courts, state
legislatures, the Halls of Congress,
the government departments and
everywhere the spirit of persecu-
ton against the Colored People
which grows out of race prejudice.
s. It aims to bring about such a
healthy public sentiment in this
land that Colored People will be
accorded all their social. civil and
political rights and will receive
exact justice in all the relations of
life.
T. 1t believes in and teaches the doc
trine Of the Fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood Of man, and the
VI oil idSCS OuI NIHCI-
lean civilization.
s. It aims to uphold the honor of
our women by opposing the pas
sage of anti--ace inter-marriage
laws
g. It is composed of members of both
races and sexes on terms of COM
plete equality and as brothers and
sisters in this holy cause of free
dom.
An Appeal for Funds.
The Association needs mon
ey and new members. 1t costs just
one dollar to join. If you believe in
fair play, in fighting for your rights,
if you believe in organization and CO.
operation, join this Association and

brotherhood a reality and not a
fiction

New Movement For Race Segregation.
Of appointing capable physicians of our
race as health officers in the larger
cities to administer to the needs Of the
colored population exclusively. The
idea does not meet the general approx
al Of the race, and we believe that few
reputable physicians among the color
ed people would accept an appointment
with segregation as its chief object.
The fact that the colored race does not
want any special recognition of the
kind mentioned ought to be well known
to public officials at this stage Of our
progress and citizenship. In all mat
tiers Of public service, conveyance and
comfort the colored people simply want
that which Is due them in common
with all the other races which make up
our country's citizenship.
Niles ovInston euoossds Miss Nsrnsy.
Miss Mary White Ovington, the well
known social service leader in Brook
Ign, has been appointed secretary for
the time being Of the National Associ-
alton For the Advancement Of Colored
People. Miss Ovington succeeds Miss
May Childs Nerney. who resigned the
position at the January meeting of the
association to enter another line of
work. Miss Nerney had been secretary
for three years and half, during
which time she rendered valuable serv.
ice to the organization. She knew the
work thoroughly, and 1t was with re-
greet that the association accepted her
resignation. However, on account of
Miss Ovington's deep interest In the
association, coupled with her knowl,
edge of its aims and needs. the work
will not suffer any setback. Miss
Ovington is one Of the vice presidents
Of the association.

BIG VICTORY FOR THE RACE.
Commission Votes Down Clarence
Poe's Race Segregation Plan.

Commission Votes Down Clarence
Poe's Race Segregation Plan.
The university commission on the
southern race question, which held its
meeting at Durham, N. c., recently.
voted down Clarence Poe's proposition
for race segregation with a decided
emphasis.
Mr.. Poe's proposition included three
parties to the race problem, as follows:
First, the Negro; second, the wealthy
or professional white man unaffected
by Negro competition; third, the poor
laboring white man who does and must
face such competition. II would not
have less sympathy or thought for the
Negro, but more for the disadvantaged
white man." says Mr.. Poe in his pleas
to keep alive the flames Of race preju-
dice.
II hope your commission will study
this third factor and also inquire II
separate grouping does not encourage
better Negro leadership and communi-
ty life. Also make study of mulatto
traits and achievements as distinguish
ed from pure Negro and inquire to
what extent mulattoes are increasing"
