To keep. THE
NEGRO WORKER
IN THE SOUTH

t'The South cannot conpsts on
financial basis with other sections Of
the country fer the labor Of the ne
gro, but the South can easily keep
her negroes against all allurements,
ID she will give them a larger meas
ure of those things that human beings
hold dearer than material goods.
Generosity begets gratitude, and
gratitude grips and holds men more
powerfully than hooks of steel. It is
automatic that fair dealing, SYM
patty, patience, tolerance and other
human virtues benefit no ex-
ercise them even more - bene-
ficiarie of them. 1t pa,s ~ be just

topics of importance to both races
The first Of these dealt with the

human actions are like boomeranes,

STATE SPELLER DONE
More Than 10000 Volumes Completed
at Topeka Plant.

The banner day in production of the
state printing plant was reached Mon
day when 1929 volumes of the new
Kansas Speller were finished. On two
or three days of laast week, the output
reached $500 but the run of Monday
was the first to exceed 1906 volumes
since the state began the manufacture
of texts. In addition to the completion
of this run of school boks, the plant
also did a full days work on the reg
ular state printing, in itself no small
task as the record for the biennium
just ending shows.
The mere statement that 1900 or
400 jobs will be completed before
July l by w. r. Smith, state printer,
does not give an adequate idea of the
amount of work done. For instance
fewer than thirty tickets of this num-
Der represents the school book work
for the last year. or a million and a
half regular text books and $4,000
penmanShip books. A better idea of the
volume of textbook work may be OBJ
tanned from the fact that in the edition
of advanced arithmetic, one of the 81
titles published by the state, there are
more than 80 tons, or nearly five car
loads of finished books. The Fifth
readers published for this year re-
quired half this amount of stock and
other books in proportion.

HANDLE MUCH OIL
Ben PauIen Compelled to Put
on More Inspectors.
Output in State Has Doubled
in a Year.

Appointment of three additional
deputy oil inspectors was announced
today by Ben Paulen, state oil in
spector. The new inspectors are:
Q. Stone, Emporia; Clarence Miller
Platte, and Nick Simon, Pittsburg
Each inspector receives S125 a month.
These appointments make a total OF
nine oil inspectors in Kansas. No
change has been made in the person.
mel of the six inspectors employed un-
der the Cumiskey administration and
they will be retained as hold-overs for
an indefinite length of time.
Paulen stated this morning he
feared still more inspectors would
have to be appointed to cope with the
increase in the kerosene and gasoline
production of the state and to comply
with the new filtration test demanded
in a law enacted by the last legisla-
ture. The carrying out of the old
gravity test consumed only two or
three minutes while the filtration test
takes up nearly an hour, according to
Paulen.
In addition, the production in Kan
sas is increasing by leaps and bounds.
For instance, in April. 1916. there were
only 40, SAT barrels of kerosene tested
and 1882 barrels of gasoline against
! 54,3 barrels of kerosene and 104,
| 239 barrels of gasoline in April. 1917.
In May, 1916, the tests of kerosene
amounted to 50,14 barrels; gasoline
| 77,45O barrels, against 55,84 barrels
of kerosene and 100,935 barrels OF
gasoline in Nav, 1917.

QUESTION GOOD FAITH
Senator Stone Warns Against Attempt
to Rob Treasury, Building Ships

Washington, June 19.-Warning
against "coldblooded attempts to rob
the United States treasury" SenItoI
Stone TO-DAY carried, the Denman-
Goethals shipping board fight to the
floor of the senate.
There is an issue there seems be-
tween General Goethals and Mr.. Dem
man." he said. General Goethals
made contracts at $95 per ton for
steel. Mr.. Denman turned those con-
tracts down and made contracts pro-
posing tentatively contracts at $56.
Il am compelled to say that 1 re-
at the head of the shipping board"
Price Was Left Open.
Stone declared he did not wish to
appear to involve Goethals in at
tempts to have the government pay
too great q price for steel, but declar-
ed steel companies apparently were
trying to do this. He said he thought
GoethaPS approval of $95 a ton con-
tracts did not reddound to Cocktails
reputation for efficiency"
Senator Smith, Michigan, expla ned
that no matter what tentative agree
ments were made now with the steel
companies the government would fix
the actual prices and these would be
paid. Meantime, he upheld Goethals
in the claim that $95 was just as
good a working basis as $50 or any
thing else, pending price fixing by the
government.

The present attack is believed to be
the direct result of the tornado, the
destruction of Kings store and his
financial loss His family stated to-
day that since soon after the storm
he has had Authorizations. He has
told of seeing three-horse teams pull
ing loads of goods stolen from the tent
in which his store has been located
since the storm. He declared he shot
right at the men with the wagon but
failed to find any of them when he
searched the ground.
Before the commission today he
carried on a normal conversation He
became angry several times when
members of the commission asked
him to relate some matter then pro-
ceeded to talk with each other while
he was telling his story.
you've asked me a question, I'm
answering it and you are talking with
each other" he said I'm thru. "
And he walked back to a seat with his
family.
Il suppose now they'll go ahead and
find me insane" he remarked. And
the commission did
