REV, GRAHAM RETURNS

Congratulations are in order for the Rev.
D. A. Graham, pastor Of the First A. M. E.
Church Of this city, who has just begun his
third years pastorate Of the church, for in
this he has broken the record as no former
pastor of this particular church has ever
held the place to exceed two years. Last
Sunday, the first service after his return
from the annual conference record-break-
ing congregation met him when he entered
the pulpit for the usual Sunday services.
All of which leads us to think that, if a
preacher is a success the first year of his
pestorate, then he should be more so the
second, still more so the third and so on ad
in6nitum. When a preacher finds himself
at logger heads with a majority of the men,
bers of the church, over which he presides,
he can put it in his pipe and smoke it, that
it is he and not the congregation that's
wrong. So long as a pastor of a congrega-
ton earnestly breaches and teaches the will
of God as he understands it and each day
lives up to the principals as set forth in the
golden rule he will never be at outs with
the rank and file Of the members and well
wishers of the church, whose destinies he
directs. Five years is the maximum time
preacher Of the A. M E. Church can hold
charge and we see no reason why the Rev.
Graham can not hold this charge for two
years more without fuss, friction or faction
alsm coming into the congregation.

are daily and hourly changing to white,
hence the whites and the blacks can not diff
fer to any great extinct.
If Mr. Ellis is one of those white men that
have come to the conclusion that a black and
white man are alike human beings and he
stands ready to extend to the black man the
right hand Of fellowship we will meet him
more than half the way, and for his liberal
mindedness will at this time promise to sup
port him for anything he may desire to run
for in the future. The colored man of this
country is sick and sore Of the caste handi-
cap and will boost any one that will deliver
him from the body of this dead one.

CLARK COMES BACK

Never in the history Of Seattle has news
paper change Of hands brought forth the
general satisfaction as the change Of the
Post -Intelligencer from the Taylor-Bone ad-
ministration to the Clarke M. Nettleton ad-
ministration. TO the reading public the an
nouncement of the change was like clap
of thunder from clear sky and since the
announcement it has been the seven day won
der as to what brought it about But suf-
fcient to the day is the evil thereof, the
change has been made regardless Of what
prompted it and Seattle will be the gamer
thereby.
Clark Nettleton, the new publisher of the
t-Intelligencer, is no stranger to the
journalistic arena of Seattle and very
familiar figure in the business circles Of the
Northwest in general and Seattle in partic-
ular, and if he does not soon have the "old
paper" back to it's palmy days under Leigh
S. j. Hunt, when he, Nettleton, was it's edit
or in chief, then we sadly miss our guess. He
knows we'll the temperament of the people his
paper will represent and he knows what
they expect and want in the way Of news
for the leading paper Of this city and state
and he is full and overflowing with the
"stuff" that will give the people just what
they want.
Since leaving the editorial chair Mr.. Net
tleton has been closely identified with the
business world Of the Northwest and it is
estimated that his business firms have netted
almost million dollars, but be that as it
WILL he has done business with business men
on a wholesale scale and has held his own.
No man in the city is more personally
popular than is Clark NJ Nettleton, and hav-
ing resided here for the past thirty odd
years and having kept fully abreast Of the
times he has an acquaintanceship second to
no man in the city and he therefore has
been able to do but little more than receive
congratulations from every man and his
brother for the past week. Who, if any
one, is associate with him in the purchase Of
the paper is of little or no concern to the
people, sufficeth to them that Clark M. Net
tleton heads the list and they as one person
exclaim, "All is WELL"

INCREASED TONNAGE.
FOR c. & 0. CANAL
New Boats to Be Built as
Rapidly as Labor Can Be
Secured for Construction.
GREATER STORAGE SPACE

Backed by the governments promise
of cooperation, the Canal Towage
Company today is making active plans
for greatly increasing shipments of
coal from Cumberland via the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal.
New boats are to be placed in service
as fast as the labor for building them
can be obtained. Storage facilities for
the increased shipments are to be pro-
vided.
While the government has not taken
over the canal, it is standing back of
the present operating company in such
a way as to assure as big an increase
in tonnage as though Uncle Sam were
operating the waterway.
Despite the fact that the strike of
boatment has delayed the opening of
the canal nearly month. it is consid-
cred certain that shipments from now
until the end of the boating season will
total at least 10000 more ton1 than
were brought in over the waterway last
year.
Four boats laden with coal left Cum
berand for Washington yesterday and
others are due to leave today. Capt. l.
A Champion has been paced in COM
mand of a new boat which is expected
to be the first to reach here, early next
week.
Boatmen living at Sharpsburg are
still on strike, but it is hoped they will
decide to return to work in the next
day or two.
Government Position Announced.
Official announcement of its abandon
ment of the proposal to operate the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal was made
by the government yesterday. A state
ment issued by the railroad admins
tration said that while the manage
ment of this waterway would not be
disturbed, the government would CO.
operate in every way to increase ship
ments of coal to Washington via the
canal
The statement was as follows:
THE United States railroad admins
tration has not found it necessary or
advisable to undertake the operation
of the boats on the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal.
