can branch OF the Ethiopian race
ought to use the word Negro" as lit
tie as possible, and that we ought al
so to spell that word with a small
IN" 1t has not been my pleasure
to read the remarks made by Judge
McCants Stewart Of Liberia concern
ing the word Negro" as spoken OF
by the Centersville lady in her good
letter; and while do not hold myself
out as an authority, as a member OF
the race I beg leave to express my
own humble opinion, and that with
view to bcgetting thought upon the
part OF any who may chance to read
it.
THE WORD AND IT'S DEFINITION
Why should the name Negro" be
used little Or spelled with small
"n?' The definition of that word is, in
brief, this: "A person belonging to
the TYPICAL African branch OF the Eth
iopian race. "a person Of any Of
the black Or Negroid races OF Africa
....a member OF the aboriginal race
Of Panua, or OF similar oceanic
tribe"
Now for my part I cannot see any
thing in the rcmotest degree disgrace
full about the name, Negro" even
though the somewhat vulgar word,
"niggcr," does mean any low princi
pied fellow black or white. I do not
even look back upon the bondage Of
some Of our race for many genera
tons as thing any wise disgraccful
to that race, but I SEQ in it condi
ton that arose and endured for q
time solely as one Of the steps where
by those Of the future generations
might take up the work Of rcecnera
ton and salvation for the whole race.
And I am glad to say that tho work
ing out OF the salvation OF that race
is something which is now rapidly
being accomplished.

$150s000 to be invested in new busi-

nearssfuture. will cost 100000. to, be
provided by a direct state a%ppropria-
tom The last assembly appropriated
$1,000 for improvements on the ex-
ecuttve mansion, and a considerable
sum for extensions and repairs at
theHstate penitentiary.
The United States government will
invest approximately $4,000 in new
buildings at the Indian school, which
increased attendance has made an alb
soiute necessity. There is a prospect
ofSthe expenditure Of $4,000 or more
in%Simprovements and alterations at
Fort Lincoln, which MAY be trans
formed into an aviation station in a
transcontinental route extending
from Boston to Seattle and generally
following the line of the Red Trail.
Private construction will include
the erection of the new Eltinge the
alter, to cost $40,O0O:. $4,000 in the
Logan-Hughes building. at Broadway
and Third; $4,000 in the new Capital
City Bottling Works: $4,000 in a new
storage warehouse for the Lahr Motor

Elks' building, and at least $500
In new homes, including a five-flat
apartment house to be erected by L.
K. Thompson.
There is not included in this aggre-
gate the Bismarck Athletic club, upon
which work is to begin in early fall,
and which will cost $4,000; nor ap-
proximately $4,000 which may be in
vested in a new bank building, upon
which it is probable work will be com
menced this fall. Account is taken OF
improvements to cost $4,000 or more
which will be made in the Bismarck
bank building. which is to construct
an entirely new front. both on Main
and Third streets.
Several big projects are dependent
on this years crop. Should the Bis
marck territory enjoy a good, rain
within the next day or two, which
will insure a bumper yield, it will be
entirely safe to increase this years
construction estimate for the capital
CITY to a million dollars.

Berlin, Tuesday, July 1.-(By the
Associated Press)-The communistic
leaven has again arrived to the fer

there are indications hat the strike
movement may develop into a political

The candor and boldness with
which the Independent Socialists and
their communist followers are play

of their footing than during the
March revolt.

points and. generally Tightening mar
tial law regulations.
The government, while apparently
satisfied. the present strike movement
Is purely political and is determined
to treat it as such. nevertheless it is
not under-esttm ating it's grave influ-
ence upon economic conditions.
The cessation of the city rail traf-
fic has had it's influence on the work
ers of the suburban roads and belt
lines which stopped operating on the
ground that the o~vercrowding Of the
cars is contrary to public safety.
Berlin's downtown streets today
again were jammed with long lines
of two, three and four-wheeled We
hicles, many Of early types which
readily brought high fares. The few
'available automobiles and motor
buses were quickly filled. Many
persons are using bicycles or roller
skates.
The most serious phase Of the situa.
ton is the attempt of the striking
rail workers to halt h movement OF
freight cars, especially those carrying

Brookings, S. D., July 2.-Follow-
ing advices sent out by the agricul-
tural college. farmers throughout the
state are sowing late millet on ground
where corn has been drowned out.
Prof. j. w. Wilson says that black
Neronish millet has been sowed as late
in the eason as this in experiments
and has produced 80 bushels to. the
acre. Hogs fed on the millet seed
have gained over a pound per day
for the first fifty-six days. The seed
when cracked is recommended for
lambs, and is said to have almost as
much food value as shelled corn.

Effects of the ordered coal strike
November l were felt in Topeka to-
day, retail dealers said, following price

Jobbers and retailers in turn have

$1.25 a ton since the strike affect
ing 400, 900 men thruout the country

ford Dudley, McCleery-Dudley Coal
company. said the advance resulted
from bidding by jobbers, and retailers
were forced to follow suit to cover
The McCleery-Dudley company,
Dudley said, stopped taking orders for
Kansas coal today. Orders already
in. it was asserted, will be consumed
by Kansas coal on hand and en- route.
Consumers in Topeka, as elsewhere
will bear the brunt Of the coal strike
if it takes place, retailers here pre-
dicted today. Railroads, public insti-
tutions and industries, it is believed,
will have an advantage in getting their
orders filled from any surplus on
hands of jobbers or operators. This
condition, it was pointed out, will be
more acute because consumers, until
the last few days. failed to see danger
of the threatened mine tieup and did
MT buy coal early. They were keeping
order clerks ION the jump today,
however.
Pinch Here in Few Days.
Many Topeka dealers predicted the
crisis created if the strike is called will
pinch here in a few days. Storage coal,
it was declared, will be Cleaned up"
in a few days. 1t was not large today,
and many retailers said they were sold
out one day and had few cars on
hand the next.
Goal operators, jobbers and retail
ers do not think the strike will be a
long one" Dudley said. "a short one.
though, will create situation that
cannot be recovered from in a short
time. A coal shortage already exists
1t is being aggravated in the rush of
consumers to buy. Production will be,
of course at standstil1 during the
strike, and this will add a serious
problem to, the already serious short
age.''
Several other dealers expressed
Dudley's view, many smaller ones say
ing they would have little coal after
the first day or two
