London, Sept. ia dispatch TO
the Exchange Telegraph from Copen-

Aftonbladet expresses the belief that
the United States intended to induce a
rupture between Argentina and Ger
many or between Sweden and Ger
many or to find a pretext to treat
Sweden as masked enemy power.
In the latter case, the Aftonbladet
is quoted as saying the moment was
judiciously chosen, as Sweden was ac-
tually negotiating with the United
States, where efforts were being made
to create difficulties in or

In concluding that feature of his re
port on the importance Of elementary.
secondary, college, agricultural educa-
ton and teacher training DR.. Thomas
Jesse Jones says:
Elementary education is peculiarly
the responsibility Of the public school
authorities. Though the enrolment Of
the philanthropic schools is 10 per cent
elementary. their pupils are only pei
cent Of the Negro children six to four
teen years of age. The southern states
out Of their limited resources are
spending 100000 annually for the
salaries Of teachers in the colored pub
lie schools. While this is proportion
ately not more than a fourth of that
spent on teachers in white schools, 1t
Is q substantial sum.

| ton and Tuskegee institute. and it came
to him that II boy could get there,
whether he had money enough or not,
he would be given an opportunity to
work his way through school il he was
industrious.
He reached the Institution as green
as you could find a young man. he
was a full grown man. He went be-
fore Professor Houston. who looked
Mt this young man and then without
i examination assigned him to prepsr-
: atory class. This proved to be too
high for him, but he told them If they
would give him few weeks he would
pull himself up to the class. This was
granted him, and it was soon discov-
cred that he had not only worked him
self up to the class but was actually
in the lead.
At the close OF school his first year
he got a job In Birmingham working
in the blast furnaces, which was too
much for him, for he was so anxious
to save money to get some more ed
ucation and finish at Tuskegee that
he did not eat sufficient food. and this
resulted In chronic indigestion. which
kept him out Of school whole year.
1t was after spending year out of
school trying to regain his health that
he went to Tuskegee in the summer,
and In the three months In the summer
he made up the whole years work.
1t had never occurred to him that II
was disgrace to be poor, especially
when in pursuit OF an education He
often found 1t necessary to borrow the
clothes OF his roommate to keep up
good appearance. Near the time of his
graduation he was back in his board
bill and was notified that unless his
board was paid 1t would be necessary
for him to stay out oe school 1t was
then that his roommate suggested that
he write to man in New York who
would perhaps help him out In re
sponse to letter sent to New York
came a check for $50. which was a
loan.
He graduated and. having attracted
the attention of Mr.. Washington dur
Ing his school life by the delivery of
an address, was selected as field agent
for Tuskegee. which position he held
for four years, receiving high com
mcndation from Or. Washington. He
was said to be the most successful
field agent that was on the rpnd for
Tuskcgee institute. He resigned the
position one year ago to accept the
principalship of Voorhees, Normal and
Industrial school which is a little
Tuskegee within itself. The school
was founded by Miss Elizabeth Wright.
and Mt her death 1t was presided over
by Professor Martin A. Menafee, the
treasurer, who is still with the school.

Denmark, s. C.-The institutions OF

many able men, and some OF them
have entered the various professions,
such as lawyer, doctor. dentist, while
others have sought the schoolroom,
feeling that 1t was their calling, and
In this they are making good. They
are making the world know that they

. most inadequate. So long as the ele-
mentary school facilities are INSULT
cient every kind of education above
0e elementary grade Is seriously
handicapped and the well being of the
community is endangered. The posi-
bilities of night schools for adults
should receive serious consideration as
one means of overcoming the large
amount Of Negro illiteracy.
Secondary Schools and Teacher
Training.-The primary Importance OF
secondary schools for colored people
lies In their contribution to the much
needed supply of trained teachers for
the elementary schools. According TO
the state records. over so per cent Of
the colored teachers In public schools
have an education less than the equiv
alent of six elementary grades. This
lamentable condition can be corrected
only by system of public secondary
schools with provision for tea cher train
ing, theory and practice Of gardening
and manual training. Much effective
help could be obtained through the ac-
dve cooperation of the public sec
ondary schools already organized. One
Of the most hopeful movements toward
teacher training and secondary educa-
ton is the plan to multiply county

sonal property to other districts in an
effort to escape the assessor 1t pro-
vides that one-third of all such prop

a house bill by Carson of Clay county.
The bill provides that residents of a
county may vote to take over a tele-
phone line which shall be operated by
the county.
In event the voters decide to take
over a line in operation. the county
commissioners shall seek to buy the
line. If an agreement cannot be
reached as to the value of the prop
erty, three appraisers shall be ap-
pointed and the county shall pay the
actual physical value of the property

toll service would be provided patrons
by the counties owning their own tele-
phone lines.
Secure Competitive Bids.
A house bill by the highways COM
mitttee provides that counties must
see competitive bids before letting
bridge contracts. The measure is
aimed at the alleged bridge trust

for bridges without competition. The
house measure positively prohibits the
construction of bridges by counties
where competitive bids have not been
secured.

MURDER AND SLAVERY
While Searching for Slayer Officers
Find Four Men With Woman.

Council Grove, Kan, Feb. 5.-The
Mexican colony here was depleted
Sunday by the murder of one, the
flight of the slayer and the arrest Of
four MeXicans on a charge of white
slavery. This charge grew out of the
murder as the Mexicans were caught
while officers were looking for the
murderer.
A strange bad Mexican. supposed to
be from Harrington, was shot and
killed by Joe Guerra, a local Mexican.
Officers here believe the stranger
came here hunting for a countryman
against whom he had a grudge, but
before he found his man he and
Guerra became drunk on indicas can
nabis and the shooting followed.
Guerra escaped and has not been
caught.
While searching for the slayer Of
ficer Kirk Mcfarland went into a
bunk car at Dunlap which was sup
posed to be empty. He poked around
among hunks and bed clothes and
kicked out four MeXicans and negro
women. None of the Mexicans was
Guerra, but all four were brought here
and placed in Jail on a charge of
white slavery. Officers here are con-
sidering asking Augustin Alba, well
known Mexican detective, to come
here and assist in the search.
