TOEND STRIKES
ON RAILROADS BY
PENALIZING MEN
Senate Committee Adopts Pro-
visions Seeking to Pre-
vent All Disorders
AS A PERMANENT POLICY
Government Control Would
End Thirty Days After En-
actment of Measure
By Associated Press

Washington, Oct. IS. After
adopting provisions to end railroad
strikes by penalizing employees who
go on strike or others who foment
strikes, the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee to-day completed
the draft of a bill to establish a
permanent railroad policy. Gov
ernment control and operation of
the roads would end thirty days
after enactment of the measure.
The bill will be reported out early
next week. 1t is similar to the orig
inal Cummins measure, providing
for private control and operation
of the railroads under the strict sup
ervision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and a national transpor-
tation board.
The railroads would be divided
into competitive regional systems
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission empowered to fix rates in
suring a return of 1-2 per. cent
upon actual value plus one-half of
one per cent. for improvements.
The plan for adjusting the
financial obligations of the Govern
ment and carriers growing out of
net balance of about $400,0OO,0OO
owing by the carriers shall be car
ried by the Government at six per
cent. interest for at least ten years,
with new notes of the railroads as
security. The earnings made by the
Government above the guarantee to
the roads will be paid to the roads
to offset their Indebtedness to the
Government.

TERROR OF NEGRO RULE.
BY VIM. Howard Taft.

This second objection is the one
that there are more brown, black
and yellow people in the world than
there are whites; and that, as this is
a convention of all the nations, a
league of all nations, there will be
more varigated Colored constituents
than there are whites; and that in
some way or another, which he does
not explain, we are going to have
Negro domination; that the Negroes
of South Africa will unite with the
Negroes of Panama, and then the
yellows, the four hundred million
of India, with all unite, and then we
are going to be made brown, black
or yellow, or come under that domi-
nation. 1t Is not explained how. It
is not suggested how the conspiracy
is to be formed, nor when formed
how is to work out under the pro-
visions of the League.
The assembly can elect new mem
bers. 1t can recommend a settle

consistency between treaties and the
obligations of the League. Now how,
under that machinery, are those Col
ored gentlemen going to obtain the
tyranny that the objector has shown?
What is the object of such speech?
1t is to stir up the Southern con-
stituencies where sensitive on the

AGITATION NOTICED BY WHITES.
Nittle Rock, Ark, Gazette)

Agitation among the Negroes dur
ing the past year has not gone un-
noticed by Southern white men. This
agitation makes heavier the work
of Negro leaders in the South. The
South needs the Negro and wants
the Negro. but If the Negro, in spite
of what he knows of conditions in
the North, desires to go North, the
Southern white men will not stop
him. The Negro who remains in the
South is assured aid and friendship
from Southern white men SO long
as he conducts himself if as a good
citizen should. But when any Negro
attempts to incite his fellows in the
South to murder, arson or other
crimes quick results will follow, and
the man, either Negro or white, who
knows the South and tries to make
himself believe otherwise is fooling
himself.

TRR OPENING OF OUR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

The opening OF our public schools
this week again reminds us OF both
the lack and the imperative need of
sincere cooperation of the parents
and the general public with the teach
ing corps in order 70 OBTAIN a maxi
mum Of efficiency.
When we realize that the future
prosperity and social status OF the
race depends very largely upon the
quality and quantity Of information
received and retained by the chill
dren Of our public schools, the ne
cessity Of cooperation becomes more
apparent. The success Of pupil In
school depends in no small measure
upon the attitude of the child to-
ward the teacher and the school. This
attitude is often the result of the in
fiuence welded by. his parents and
the general public. Children hear
entirely too much dis arabing criti-
cism OF the Colored schools from
older persons, persons often incap-
able Of passing upon the merits
or demerits of the teacher or the
school system. Such criticism often
brings the child 10 school in a frame
Of mind united either to receive or
retain the instructions offered him
II is in the public where the child
becomes master OF those characters
and signs which enables him to be-
come he heir to the past experiences
OF the human family. To those who
realize the value of such experience
the education Of the child win APP
pear as essential TO its welfare as
its food and clothing.
The fact, that society has decreed,
by the establishment and support Of
free public school system in everv
civilized country, that education is
essential to prepare one for the in
telligent discharge Of his duties and
obligations to his fellow man, is con.
elusive evidence OF its value. Not
only has the state made II possible,
that every child receive this primary
training but it has made 1t obligatory
by statute that each and every child
does receive It. In the public schools
society has taken upon itself many
Of the parental duties. II the par
form these duties society must per-
emit Is incapable or unwilling TO per-
form them for its own protection.
The formation and establishment of
those fundamental habits that are
20 essential to success In any va
cation OF life thus hscomes part
OF the work Of the ppblic schools.

GULF STORM PLAYS HAVOC ON
TEXAS COAST.

citizens of Odem and members Of
the train crew, waded for miles
though the brush hunting survivors
of the storm. The train is being
held until other relief arrives.
Most of the survivors rescued at
this point were from the north beach
section of Corpus Christi and were
carried inland by the rush Of waters
up the Nueces river. Practically the
entire country between Odem and
Corpus Christ was raging sea all
Sunday night and every low point is
still flooded with water, In addition
to the loss of human life hundreds
Of cattle and thousands of birds and
other game were drowned or killed
by the storm.
The first man rescued here follow
ing the storm was J. G.. Griffith, Sc,
a fisherman of the Reef Corpus
Christi, and who fought for his life
for nearly twenty-four hours before
being rescued. During the heavy
rain and as the waters were rising
he had gone into a home on North
Beach to assist in moving an inva-
lid lady to the second floor. While
occupied at that task the waters
rose four feet in as many minutes
and the party consisting of three
men and the lady took refuge on the
roof. The house soon broke to
pieces and he saw the others drown
while he was unable to help them.
John S. Tanner, IS, ward of his
uncle, z. G. Taylor of North Beach,
saw his uncle and aunt carried off
by the flood in one direction while
he went another. He was badly cut
by timbers which struck him during
the time he was in the water.

Puactuality. industry. truthfulness
thrift, honesty and a knowledge Of
the duties. rights. and privileges Of
the Individual in social organization
on a scale more extensibe than the
family institution, are among the
duties Of the primary schools.
This part of the schools work
should be supplementary to the work
OF the home. However in our Colored
schools there are those who must
depend almost wholly upon the school
for adequate instructions along these
lines. We do not think it any re-
Election upon the parents of the Col
ored children to say that the work
Of the Colored teacher is far more
arduous than that of the white teach
er. The past history and environ
ment Of the Colored parent has not
fitted him so well to perform his
duties as the white parent. This
work however, society has decreed
must be done. The Colored teacher,
the hired servant of society is ex-
pected to make good the deficiency.
To say that the Colored teacher is
often lily prepared to meet this ar
douous task can not be denied. There
are many reasons for this. The most
potent however, lies in the fact that
tho remuneration does not justify
the cost Of thorough preparation. To
meet the problems presented in the
Colored schools would require great
or skill than TO meet those to be
solved in the white school. Even II
the pay justified the preparations re-
quired, this opportunity and facili-
ties accessible to the. Colored teach
er are far Inferior to those of the
white.
Hence, II the race hopes to make
progress through and by means Of
the public schools, cooperation and
sympathy must not be withheld from
the Colored teacher.
In order to further prepare the
child for the part he is playing in
the social organization, the free sec
ondary schools offer elective courses
in their educational systems. This
enables the child to select that train
ing which will directly assist him
in the trade or profession which he
intends to persue. The directing of
child's effort and energy into one
channel makes 1t possible to con-
centrate all his power toward his
chosen vacation. Much time and
money may be saved by such con-
centration of effort.
II is this feature of the school
system that especially demands the
cooperation of teacher, parent and
child in order that valuable time and
energy be not wasted. Consult with
the principal and teachers as to the
best course for the child to select.
Learn from the child his inclinations
and aspirations and backed by your
own knowledge Of the child's ability
consult his instructors and assist
in planning the child's future along
lines that will develop his best ia
Tents.
