Monday, May 8, three very signifi-
cant votes en- questions relating to
Preparedness" were had in the
House Of Representatives.
By a vote of 221 to 142, the House
refused to accept senate amend
ment increasing the standing army
to 25O,O00 men.
By vote of PSI to 1O9 the House
rejected the proposal to permit the
president to organize a volunteer
army' of 26O,OOO men in times of
peace.
BY a vote OF 176 to 173 the House
appropriated $4,000, 900 for the con-
struction of great nitrate plant,
which will forever render the Ameri-
Can people independent of the Pow
der Trust"
Government Nitrate Plant.
The fight to give the government
a great nitrate plant. which was fin
ally won by just three votes, was the
most interesting. and in some res
poets the most significant, contest
of the day.
AT present all the nitrates used
in this country in the manufacture of
powder and fertilizer come from the
plains OF Chilli. In time of war an
enemy could cripple us by blockad-
ing the Chiaian ports.
A few years ago, system was
discovered by which these precious
nitrates may, by the use of water
power, be literally drawn from the
atmosphere. TIE process is covered
by a multitude OF patents owned by
a heavily capitalized monopoly. This
concern is now operating big plant
in Canada and has made several at
tempts to come into this country
and secure control Of desirable' water
power sites, but up to date 1t has
not been successful. 1t would like
to go into partnership with the gov
'erpment, and its Washington repres-
entatives have submitted many prop
ositions, all of which meant big ddvi-
dends for the monopoly and limited
returns to the nation.
The Powder Trust" has been ON
the alert, hoping to be able to de-
feat any arrangement which would
weaken its control of the powder
market.
Two Monopolies Combine.
When the matter came to an is
sue in the House, the Powder
Trust" and the nitrate monopoly bur
led whatever differences that may
have existed between them and uni
ted to fight tire construction of a
plant owned and operated by the gov
ernment. The combination almost
won out but at the last moment lack
ed three votes.
1t is expected tfat the government
plant will develop 100000 horse pow
er. About $4,000 horse power will
be required to make the powder need
ed by the government in times of
peace and the remainder will be
used to make fertilizer for which
there Is an almost limitless demand
from. southern farmers. 1t Is believ-
ed the government will be able to
reduce the price of fertilizer so per
cent, thus saving the farmers many
million dollars ysar.
In case of war, TIE entire product
of the plant would be devoted to
military needs and would be suffi-
cient to meet almost any emergency.
Altogether, tie nitrate plant seems
to be the biggest and sanest pre-
paredness measure so far passed in
congress.

Copper output Breaks Record.

Uncle Sam says that reports from
the Michigan copper mines show the
production to be the largest in the
history Of the industry. The total re-
fined copper produced in 1915 amount
ed to 23S,956.410 pounds, as compared
with 15S,74S pounds in 1914.

Artesian Wells Pump Themselves

Uncle Sam says that along the low

pahannock many artesian wells are
being made to pump themselves by
using the force developed by the arte-
sian flow to operate hydraulic rams,
which in turn raise the water to the
bluffs above the river.

Taught Our Democracy Much Needed

OF the many high tributes paid to
the memory of the late DR.. Booker T.
Washington by men Of both races and
Of all walks Of life the following, by
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New York.
is masterpiece. He says:
washington was great educator
in that he never forgot that he was
dealing with human material-that he
was commissioned of God, not 50 much
to fill mems minds with knowledge as
to help them to fulfill their own lives.
He gave to his people something more
precious than gold-the knowledge that
the art of service and the part of lead
ership are complementary terms.
washington dared to proclaim to his
newly freed people that freedom was
not thing Of fiat or proclamation, but
must be wrought out of their own
souls. Statesman was he, who sound
ed the note Of service to race which,
after centuries Of oppression, inevita-
bly, longed to hear its rights urged and
stressed He realized that hand in
hand with every advance made by his
race must go a corresponding gain in
the good will Of the white race.
"This great American taught our de-
mocracy lesson which it needs to
learn, lest it cease to be. He taught
us that the greatest thing in life is
self forgetful service. Drunk as we
are with things, intoxicated as we are
with the passion Of self satisfaction
and self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, let us not for
get the lesson taught by the life Of this
man in his quiet strength and fine dig
nity-how great a thing is the selfless
service Of a cause.
"Let the Negro remember that the
color line vanishes in the presence Of
real greatness. Let the Negro ever
bear in mind that, while an entire race
cannot seek protection under the shad-
ow of one great name or ten great
names, a race. like man. must stand
upon it's own feet and not upon the
shoulders Of a single man."

His counselor was Clifton T. A. French,
a young attorney Of our race whose
ability as practitioner is attracting the
attention of the legal profession here
in way that is causing old timers in
the profession to look well to their lau,
rels.
Upon the completion Of the testimO-
ny of the complaining witness at the
trial in question a novel point of law
was being argued by the counsel for
the people and the defense when the
latter created much CONSERVATION III
the court by the production of evidence
of great weight and at the same time
made motion to dismiss the complaint.
The court Immediately granted the mo
ton with full vindicatiOn and the pre-
siding Judge paid Attorney French
fine personal compliment.
It is high tribute to the legal ability
Of this young sprig Of the law to be
called to the bench by presiding Judge
Rosalsky (who is austerity personified
and complimented and praised in full
some phrase on his sound knowledge of
legal procedure in a case Of such vital
importance to the defendant and his
counsel. His course clearly indicated
that he had read the law to some pur.
pose and that he saw in this particu
lar case an. opportunity to put it to the
test.
As soon as he made the motion to
dismiss and produced certain evidence
to justify his action In defense Of his
client the learned judge at once saw
that he could do no other than to dis
miss the complaint. Counselor French
had scored. The Judge realized it and
the prosecuting attorney reluctantly
admitted that he was defeated-out-
pointed, licked Ito a frazzle" by Ne
gro attorney who understood what he
wanted and got it. The judge and
counsel at the bar owned the force Of
the Negros ability and then extended
their congratulations to the young dis
ciple of Blackstone who had won q le-
gal victory of which many an old vet
eran practitioner at the bar would have
been proud to have to his credit. But
this is not the only legal skirmish In
which, Mr. French has engaged. An
other case in which he secured an ac-
quittal for his client was that Of The
People versus William Anderson,
which was bitterly contested at every
point by this brilliant young man. and
ended in the freeing of his client. Mr.
French's practice covers both the civil
and criminal courts. and thus far he
has been successful in all the cases in
which his firm has appeared.
Mr.. French received the degree Of
B. A. from New York university and
from Columbia the degrees Of NJ. A.,
III. B. and LII. NJ. In addition, he has
completed all the resident work for the
degree of Phi. d. and has only to write

the professional men of the race ev-
erywhere are demonstrating their
ability in the most convincing and
gratifying manner to acquit themselves
creditably in the learned professions
The French brothers are westerners.
and both of them are live wires"
Their future in the legal profession is
big with promise. and they will be
heard from in some very big cases
some day. for they keep abreast of all
the latest decisions Of the courts. be-
cause this is the business Of all wide
awake and progressive members Of
the New York bar. They are not
social bugs but lawyers who are in
New York for the practice Of this hon.
Orable profession.
