JOURNALISTS TO MEET.
Nashville viii Be Host to Members Of
National Negro Press Association.

Nashville Will Be Host to Members OF
National Negro Press Association.
Nashville, Tenn.-The meeting OF the
National Negro Press association is to
be held In this city Wednesday, Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, Feb. Z, 8, 0
and 10, 1917. The official call is Just
being released from the corresponding
secretary's office of this city, and it
comes out signed by C. ]. Perry Of
Philadelphia as president, Joseph L.
Jones of Cincinnati as chairman Of the
executive committee and Henry A.
Boyd of this city as corresponding sec.
rotary.
This will be the fourth time the
newspaper men have gathered in the
metropolis OF Tennessee for an annual
gathering, it having been made the
regular meeting place Of the regular
sessions by constitutional provision.
The executive sessions have been held
generally In connection with the Bust
ness league during the month Of Au-
gust.
1t is understood from the correspond
ing secretary that they are expecting
the largest attendance in the history Of
the association, as there are practically
no annual gatherings being held now
in midwinter that will interfere with
the newspaper mems program. The
Nashville membership, which consists
Of twenty-five or more, has already
called a meeting of the local members,
and they are making preparations for
the entertainment of all who may come.
In addition to this, some OF the leading
newspaper men Of the United States
who are connected with the association
have expressed their intention Of being
present at this session.
The work to be completed covers
wide scope and is Of vital interest to
the newspaper fraternity. Some con-
stitutionnl changes are tn be made,
but the most important thing will be
the consideration Of the report Of the
executive committee, which held its
session last August in Kansas City.

AN APOLOGY TO THE PUBLIC AND
MY MANY FRIENDS

At the dance at Old Colony hall on
Jan. 1, 1917, presents were to be given
every lady present. We only had 125
presents, but there were 200 ladies'
present. Rather than to give to some
and leave out others, which would
cause bad feeling, we decided not to
give to anyone We did not expect
such a jam. The biggest crowd that
was ever in Old Colony hall.

Earth seems quite another place
Without the cheer of mothers face.

EShOuld Be Legalized.

State Senator Bray's bill to legalize
party conventions is conceived In the
right spirit and certainly aims to ac-
complish no more than what should be
practically attainable.
1t aims to give legal recognition and
standing TO practice already estab-
lished. Party conventions have in point
of fact come back. Every party has
now bowed to expediency and returned
to the convention-even the La Toilette
republican wing, the inventors of the
primary law.
AS Mr.. McGovern said of the La Fol-
lette convention calling it confer
ence" does not alter the fact that it
was a convention) if conventions are to
come back, they should be legalized. "
Absolutely SO. And they have come
back, Enthusiastically to stay. They
serve a useful purpose that experience
has shown cannot be dispensed with.
Senator Bray's bill takes the middle
course and seeks to conserve the essen
tial elective principle of the primary
law while restoring the indispensable
function of the convention. 1t con-
serves the popular choice principle by
requiring that the convention delegates
be chosen at the primary election. The
convention will frame and adopt the
party platform and name the party or
ganization.
The Bray bill will work great i'm
provement in our election system by
combining the better features of the
old system with the new, and it forms
good basis for party agreement on a
popular line. The practical necessity
for conventions having been demon
strated, having been practically con-
ceded even by the progenitors of the
primary law. why not legalize them?-

ELLIS USHER, Milwaukee newspaper
correspondent, hands out the following
good advice: In the face of prospec-
tive war and the daily assurance OF
more and more taxation to prepare the
nation for an emergency, the obliga-
ton constantly grows stronger for the
Wisconsin legislature to cut down ex-
penses, and postpone every outlay that
will add dollar to the burden of the
people. Prices are inflated by war, and
the man who gets five dollars day
now is spending it all for higher living
costs. If living costs are up and ris-
ing, as we are told, from 80 to SO per
cent, SIS day now will buy no more
than $3.50 and So would three years
ago, and it is doubtful if it buys as
much, because of the tendency to look
at the larger income and forget to
reckon the higher outgo. This is human
nature, and the result is extravaganza,
rather than economy. The obligation
on public servants to look ahead and
take care is therefore the more press
ing.

WIsCoNsIN's public debt, per capita,
increased more than three hundred per
to the survey just compiled by the tax
commission. The indebtedness, less
sinking fund assets, of counties and
other civil subdivisions has grown since
1890, the total from So, 145, 189 in 1890
to $37, 8l6, 643 in 1913, and the per cap
tia from $4.83 in 1890 to SIS 63 in 1913.
Whet would become Of the individual if
he became the same wantOn spend
thrift? The ease with which public of
ficials spend other peoples money is
simply appalling.

Goods had been delivered at the ware
houses by the growers. These trans
actions are all right so far as profits
for the packers and the big concerns
are concerned, but it means a stiff
smash for the small cigar manufacture
ers. for they will sorely miss their to-
bacco next year. Even should they be
able to lay their hands on any OF these
goods, the prices to be paid will be
art-breaking, for they will have to
nav the profits to the original packer
and to the packer who bought from the
other, if there are any such. The
grower who has not yet sold his crop is
a much courted man these days. The
packers are not riding the county hunt-
ing up crops, but they are keeping
their ears open to the call OF the grow
ers who still have something TO sell:
The selling price now is not log as 1t
was when the bulk of the crop was

er this is done the more quickly the
grower relieves himself of all RESPONSE
bility for the tobacco. He shifts this
to the buyer, whose trouble begins with
the receipt of the crops, but this year
there has been practically no trouble.
Either the grower has stripped clean
and fairly, or else the buyer wants the
goods so badly that he takes no chance
of losing it through row.

and negroes brought out lively hear
ing before the judiciary committee of
the upper house Well known repre-
sentatives of the colored race f1ocked
here in large numbers to fight the bill.
Attorney De Refe, Milwaukee, said
the loyalty and allegiance of the col
ored- people never has been question
ed. Always they have made good sol
diers and no other race has made
more progress in the same length of
time that the negroes have been free.
He did not attempt to justify the inter
marrying of white persons and ne
groes. 1t is regrettable that such mar
riages take place, he said He objected
to the Bennett bill because the enact,
ment of such a law, he thought, would
lead to other restrictions which would
discourage the negroes in the fight to
improve their race "The first thing we
know he would have Jim Grow street
cars and Jim Grow theaters," he said.
The argument against the bill was
that the black man was brought to
America against his will, that he was
amancipated by the whites and now
to attempt to enslave them would be
a step backward.
This legislature will pass bill Gre
ating dry zone around the Soldiers
home in Milwaukee. How big the zone
will be is a matter not decided, but
there appears to be little doubt that
some kind of a dry zone will be estab-
1ished.
