TROTTER AGAIN.
(By DIR. w. H. Lowry. !

The great William Monroe Trotter
has broken out in a new spot. But AN
analysis of the eruption shows that it
is just Trotter.
This time, he and a few of his faith
full followers have called upon limited
portion of republican congressman and
laid before them certain demands for
recognition Of the Negro by the league
of nations clause in the peace treaty.
We agree with Mr.. Trotter that the
Negro should have better treatment at
the hands OF his own government but
we rather doubt the effect of Mr. Trot
ter s comment along this line.
Mr.. Trotter IS songs are set too much
10 jazz music. Waving bloody shirt
is poor method to adopt in subduing
an angry bull. We are not prepared to
enter the arena and grasp the bull by
the horns and conquer him by mere
twist of the neck as Mr.. Trotter would
have those few republican gentlemen
believe. Those men who listened to Mr..
of the G. o. P. and Mr.. Trotter and his
would be followers represent a smaller
portion of the Negro race.
The best thing for Mr.. Trotter to do
is to stop his solo work and come down
and organize his race into a grand
chorus and with the proper finacial
backing the song will be heard, not by
few members of one political party,
but by the people of the United States

Those who love Kipling's tales of
India, and especially of the work and
adventures of the English officers who
have devoted their lives to the i'm.
provement of that vast empire, will be
interested In the story of Sir Herbert
Edwardes.
Edwardes was born In 1919, year
after the death of Warren Hastin gs,
the first governor of British India.
Like Hastings. he went to India nrst
in the interests Of the great East India
Company. but he was made an en-
sign of the First Bengal fusiliers. In
five years he mastered Persian. Hindu,
and Hindustani, and acquired the
knowledge Of the Indians, which later
made him invaluable.
He possessed rare tact and person.
ality, he was often able to conquer the
wild hill tribes without firing a shot.
He was able to go where no other man
of his race could have lived. He was
promoted to major by the time he was
so. but unfortunately. lost his rignt
hand in active lighting, His health

From then until his death, when he
was 40. he alternated between India
and England; the first country could
not spare his services, the second built
him up when his health suffered from
overwork. He became major general
of the East Indian army. and tho
greatest authority on this part Of the
British empire!

an interest in a fifty or sixty thousand
dollar property. 1t Is our belief that
1t can be shown that q consolidated
school costs the rural tax payers very
little more to support than the many
small school houses scattered over the
township. Even IL 1t costs more. there
can be no question that for the value
to the people and to the pupils, the
cost Is relatively much less.
Now is good time to begin giving
this matter some consideration. With
in q very few miles we can find three
consolidated schools already operating.

[Muscatine Journal


The coal hoarder is the newest COM
munity liability. In the course OF the
past several days, local dealers have
received orders from houscholders who
reported that they had less tl.an a ton
oil coal on hand, When the black
diamonds" were loaded and delivered.
the coal man found that the bin was
well stocked. The result is the return
of the coal 10 the company yards, Tor
the local firms refuse to make deiiv-
cries where the consumer has a rea-
sonabIe amount of fuel on hand.
With the limiting OF soft coal deliv-
cries to ton per family, the cost of
distribution Is necessarily Increased.
Any attempt to hoard coal is not only
unfair TO those who are really in need
of the fuel, but it adds to the cost of
service, for any form of waste effort
must be paid for.
The effects of the coal strike will be
as the individual citizen
measures up to his responsibility. II
seIfishness is to prevail, we can not
expect TO escape without paying fer an
Indulgence in this vice.
