Public Investigation Urged

The questions involved are in our respectful judg-
ment eminently suitable for the calm investigation
and decision by the public through the agency Of fair
arbitration and cannot be disposed OF to the public
satisfaction in any other manner
The decision OF a Commission OF Board of Arbl-
tration, having the public confidence will be accepted
by the public. and the social and financial rearrange-
mens made necessary thereby will be undertaken BY
the public, but in no less deliberate nor orderly
manner
The railroads OF the country cannot under present
conditions assume this enormous increase in their
expenses Il imposed upon them It would involve
many in early financial embarrassment and hank
ruptcy and imperil the power of all to maintain
their credit and the integrity Of their securities
The immediate increase in cost followed by other
increases that would be inevitable, would substan
TALLY appropriate the present purchasing power Of
the railroads and disable them from expanding and
improving their facilities and equipment to keep
abreast Of the demands Of the country for efficient
transportation service.

strewn with flowers and that he must
work out his own salvation with fear
and trembling, but there is no doubt
in the mind of The Blade that the
Negro will deliver the goods. From
The Blades point of view the Negro
has made a good showing. He has
demonstrated his capacity to absorb
and assimilate the American civiliza-
ton in a marvellous way. He has
made a progress unparalleled in his
tory for so short a time, for fifty
years ago he was chattel, a mere
thing in the eyes If the law. Today
ne is a man and citizen, having by
sheer intelligence and shift reduced
his illiteracy to 33 per cent, which
means that out Of total of one hun.
bred only thirty-three are unable to
read and write This is no mean
showing. If the Negro has done this
in fifty years, think what he will do
in fifty more and in fifty more. In
reviewing the progress the Negro has
made in the past in so short a time
only his bitterest enemies would not
concede to him the probability as well
as the possibility of a great frtue.

THE STARS IN THEIR COURSES
SIDE WITH A RACE FIGHT
ING FOR IT'S RIGHTS-TH
HISTORICAL TEST.

Boston, Mass. This year 1916 for
Colored Americans is historically
critical 1t marks the accountability
year Of the first Southern president
since freedom. and the half-century
since the passage of Congress Of the
Civil Rights Bill and of the l4th
Amendment creating their Citizen
ship. ~
For some years we have been los
ing on rights of citizenship, in law
or practice, South and North, an ON
nous sign. At the height of such a
year what is to be the answer of Col
ored Americans, itself, what is it's
historical record?
HOW RECORD OF RACE CAN BE
SAVED.
Religious, fraternal, charity, bust
ness organization, local organizations
for rights or national by the philan-
thropic aid Of noble friends, are all
most excellent, but not sustain our
historical record as race. This can
be easily done. however. by the for
nation Of an Equal Rights Commit
tee by Colored Americans in each
Colored Community. Have il under
stood that these committees are for
cooperation with other organizations
and all difficulty is removed. They
. Ia, al,t Of sol
fight or initiative. are for members of
all other organizations TO join, and
are not to interfere.
The great Opportunity comes Now.
Every Colored Community should
form an Equal Rights Committee at
once. and send a delegate to the Ma
tonal Colorcd Citizenship Rights
Congress called for Washington, d.
{. in one months time by the Ma
tional Equal Rights League, whose
branches hold up this cause but in not
enough places. Through the Con-
gress or league these Equal Rights
Committees the very name has
power can be nationally connected
Send either n delegate or a message
TO the Congress. Thus without any
interference with existing agencies
our race can save ITS own historical
record and toy self help and spirit re
tain a valid claim before mankind TO

Teach Children
How to PLAY

That mothers should not only take
an interest in the play Of their chill
dren, but should participate in their
games and other childish pastimes, is
the opinion of Mary Pierce Van Zile.
dean of the division of home economics
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
The mother is more likely to be in
sympathy with the troubles OF a child
than his joys. She too often considers
1t waste of time to enter into his
play, yet If he is hurt she will stop
anything she is doing and comfort him
Her interest in his play will double his
delight in 1t.
Freedom and sympathy are not
enough. The child needs right mate
rails in order that his play may be of
the greatest value to him. Expensive
toys are neither essential nor desirab
The best are those that are common to
him and the rest Of the world. Some
of the available materials are earth
air and water. Children derive profit
able enjoyment through playing In
sand, mud and clay. In the use of tools
for digging they are unconsciOusly de
veloping manual skill that will serve
them in later life.
The chief thing for parent to rec
ognize is that Il child must have com
panions. a fundamental need in child
nature is social intercourse. This is
noted from babyhood. The child is con.
tent If in the presence of people, but
will rebel at being left alone.

When she caught sight Of the rum
away, no one was to be seen upon It,
but she knew Rhinelander and Storm
were inside and as she began to over
haul the chase, she sounded her horn
insistently. The two men, leaving
Spike, who in the face of the common
danger had pulled himself partly to

To their amazement they saw at their
heels Helen humping violently along
in Seagrue's machine. She signaled
them excitedly She tried to shout
to them but could not make q word
heard above the deafening noises.
Rhinelander and Storm did make out,
however. that she wanted them to 60

climbed the side ladder again.
Helen, still close behind, scribbled q
note. folded 1t hurriedly. took of q
shoe. stuck the note inside and with
