C. Clark, the genial representative
of the B. G. Ewing Paper company,
Spokane, was in town Saturday and
over Sunday on one of his regular
trips through the county. He threw
chill in the newspaper fraternity
by announcing another stiff increase
in the price of paper stock, which is
the third or fourth time paper has
jumped upward since the beginning
of the war; If this upward tendency
continues much longer there are some
porary retirement until after the war.

much satisfaction in the fact that the
news from the front was exceedingly
encouraging.
Sunday some unknown person walk
ed into the residence on the East Oro-
vile Orchard tracts, owned by George
Pulls and occupied by Miss Viola Pulls
and young brother, ana stole purse
containing SIS. Miss Pulls had receiv-
ed the money the day before from her
father with which to pay the railroad
fare for herself and brother to Sc
attic. She placed the money under
pillow and was away from home visit
ing a neighbor. She noticed some per-
sons coming out of the yard but could
not recognize them. She thought moth

but when she reached home the money
was missing.
The Okanogan Independent reports
that Mrs. Chester Erwin of that place
had received notice from Washington,
D. c., that her husband had been Sc
verely wounded in battle on July 3.
Erwin went out from Oganogan in
the first draft contingent, and was as
signed to Co. e, 161st Infantry, and
T, left with the regiment for France
last winter. He was transferred from
the 161st to another regiment after
reaching France. Erwin is the first
Okanogan county boy, so far as re-
ported, who has been wounded In the
war, although if the government is
so slow in reporting casualties there
may be others.
Chat Mcclellan, of Kettle Falls, the
discharged member of the 72nd Can
adian Highlanders who spoke here
Monday evening, did not come to
Oroville to find himself among strang-
ers. He is an old acquaintance of
DR.. and Mrs. D. H. Lewis, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. S. Gray, Mrs. George
Stoltz and a number of the railroad
boys. He expects to return here with
his wife in a few days and visit with
DR.. and Mrs. Lewis. We have heard
the wish expressed by many that
Mcclellan may be induced to make
| another public talk while here, giving
more information of army life at the
front in his inimitable way. He would
be certain to draw very large crowd.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Henson came in

may be added in this connection that

The Power of a Smile.

There's a wondrous lot of power
In an honest, wholesome smile;
1t often starts "A blessing
That will travel for mile,
Why, when hearts are sad and heavy
And the days are dark the while,
You can notice that things brighten
From the moment that you smile.
What the rose is to the bower,
What the jewel is to the ring.
What the song is to the robin
In the gladstone, days of spring,
What the gold is to the sunsets
That oft cur souls beguile,
All this, and more, to people
Is the blessing of smile.
When you see a face that's saddencd
BY the cruelty Of strife,
Into which shave come the wrinkles
From the tolls and cares of life,
Just send ray of sunshine.
To smooth its brow while,
And bestow a passing blessing
BY the giving of smile

OUR BURDEN

Under the heading a Citi-
zen, we recently paid our re-
spects to that class Of Negroes.
who, by their utterances and acts,
acts, have done so much to alien
ate oar white friends and encour-
age guy enemies. The character
we entlcav0r TO portray is far
more familiar in the south where
conditions are more favorable for
his vile practices; though not al
together unknown IN the north.
Members Of that class never
hesitate, in their efforts to carry
favor with the whites and thus
gain some temporary personal
benefit, to belittlc their own race
and intiict upon it cruel re
proach TO receive the white
man s stamp Of "a safe, wise and
conservative leader Of the Negr-
ocs - is to them the highest mark
of dignity and honor.
just now the most conspicuous
figure and notorius example of
that class Of race traducers is one
Rev. Silas X. Floyd, d. ID. Of
Augusta, Ga, who in an Eman-
cipation Address at Macon under
the curse Of bringing to his
people words of hope and en-
couragcmcnt. deliberately be
traycd them INTO the hands of the
enemy. Among other equally
questionable things he says i:
Every now and then you will
hear Negroes saying that they
have no chance, they have no
rights everything is against
them. .., Everytime | hear a
colorcd man say a thing like that,
| ask myself this question: What
would he do with the chance if he
had it, A great many rights
and privileges are not denied the
coIorcd man of the south, and
what use is he making of his
chances More things are grant
ed Negroes in the south then are
denied them. -. When you think
of the small relatively small
progress the Negro has made in
education and in the accumula-
ton of money and property and
in the attaining of upright, hon
orable citizenship, you may well
ask: what would the Negro do
with other rights and privileges if
he had them. In Georgia, especially
in Georgia, there is no reason
why the colored man should cry
and mourn and lament. ] know
that our, state carries the belt III
the 4rccgsds oG lynchings. and !
know that in some parts of
Georgia the Negro is being driven
out; but in spite Of all the dark
ness. there are many signs Of
light and hope and encourage
mcnt for the Negro in our Geor-
gia sky.
In answer to the foregoing read
what the l.. s. Bureau of Educa-
ton says in Bulletin No. 30: In
the 50 years since freedom was
dccreed. Negro iIliteracy has de
creased from over 90 per cent. to
80 per cent: almost 900 900
The Wisconsin weekly blade. [volume] (Madison, Wis.) 1916-1925, 1918-02-14

colored men are now farmers of
varying degrees of independence +;
a quarter of a million own their
farms; the total amount of land
owned by them aggregating 30
100000 acres of fertile soil.
And further on in the same Bull
letin; They (the Negroes con
tribute not only IA goodly share
Of the taxes for their public
schools, but also considerable
sum toward the private schools.
Furthermore. the colored people
give considerable sums to extend
the terms OF the public schools.
It is probable that their total
gifts aggregate 100000 annually
over and above their share Of the
public taxes. AS an authority on
these matters we prefer this Bull
lctin to Rev. Silas X. Floyd, ID. ID.
Not long since Governor Il. l..
Philip, in commenting on the
progress made by the colored
people used this expression: For
a race so recently raised from
slavery, the advancement Or the
American Negro is in many ways
remarkable. Most remarkable is
the fact that, while fifty years
ago few Of the Negro race could
read or write, the percentage of
illiteracy has been decreasing at
such a rate that it promises at no
distant time to overtake the
whites. y
Another distortion of the fact is
statement by Rev. NJ. Floyd to
the effect that the majority of the
young men between Is and 30
years of age cannot write their
names. In refutation of this
Islander we offer the Census Re
port, Bulletin 1919, which shows
that in Georgia only IL per cent
of the coIOred men over 81 years
Of age are illiterate and i'll Red
mond county in which is Augusta
but - per cent.
We have no patience with the
class to which Rev. NJ. Floyd be-
longs. BY their words and deed,
for nearly 300 years they kept
themselves and their fellows Ill
slavery. and even new discourage
every effort to improve their
condition. Admitting that Geor-
gia carries the belt" for lynch
ings, yet he declares that in
Georgia especially in Georgia
there is no reason why the color
ed man should lament :. If not
in Georgia, then certainly now
where.
The colered people of this
country will never secure their
full rights 50 long as they have
among them men of the class Of
DR.. Floyd-men who are so ready
to rush to their white folks =
and speak disparaginly of their
own people. Let colored man
complain of conditions. and i'm
mediately the DR.. Floyds appear
