slowly, very slowly, coming into that knowledge which is his one chance of developing into a growing national asset-the knowledge of the way of making a living. When one looks into the effort that is being made to give the Negro the right sort of an education, he finds a much more cheerful picture than he had thought. The Southern states. for instance, are meeting with no little eagerness the offers that come 10 them to give some direction to the education of the Negro The problem is basically one Of money. The way has been found to give our colOred citizen an educa- ton that will strengthen his fiber, widen his vision and at the same time make him happy in achieving a use fuI place in society. There are no more inspiring and promising reports written in this country than those of the various foundations which are promoting the right method of edu- eating the Negro. Not only is the response from the states encouraging, but experience has gone far enough forward by this time to demonstrate that with guidance, oversight. and the bearing of only part of the

THE PEOPLE SAY
PORT OF BRIDGEPORT.

There seems to be a considerable rrlisund erstanding or to put it mildly, a lack of understanding, as to the measure for creating "a Port of Bridgeport" Of course the expendi- ture Of several millions in a given locality would. at the outset, create a sort of fictitious activity. It would look like something doing as long as the money held out
 The ability to nail the city's grand list for two mills annually or say, an expenditure of $45O, ,000 a year. in per pituity. would certainly tend to keep up the interest in that direction It is only when we get down to actual shipping statistics that the difficult na- tlre of the proposition becomes ap- parent.
 Our big manufacturers all have their New York agencies. Why Look over their shipping register in ordinary times on any one day-so many cases to pier so and 50, for LiverpooI-so many for the pier of the Havre line - so many for the Bremen pier-to the Italian line at another pier-to Argentina at another - to Brazil another, and so on through the scores of lines of ocean craft Other piers and railroad ter ninaIs are reached for the domestic trade. The problem of distribution is the one important factor of the com nerciaI city. How is it to be met by the Port of Bridgeport" When we have excavated miniature Panama Canal through the meadows to the Housatenic river as proposed with a 40 or 50 feet channel and sup pIemented this with dockage facilities and railroad connections what as surance have we that lines of trans Atlantic or domestic trade will for sake the many advantages of the big commercial centers to locate here? Could we fill the requirements as to the loading and distribution of cargo involved in an ocean going traffic? Could trade be diverted from the big commercial centers into out of the way Bridgeport and handled at profit to the parties concerned?
 The dubious nature of the invest
 nent from a local standpoint is indi cated by the fact that both New Ha- ven and New London are unwilling to undertake it on their own credit but petition the state to furnish the funds for the purpose Our chronic condition of plunging is such that we would hardly care tow ait for such limited financial aid A whole sale marketing of bonds has come to be a civic habit with us.
 In dererence to the future soivency of the city it might be well to to ask ourselves such questions as these: If New London with her liInitless deep water frontage and with S1,000,000 state aid already had, is unwilling to Tho Scheme, but petitions the state for more how then can Bridgeport with out any deep water frontage afford to risk her future credit in the large undertaking of excavating and main taining an artificial hhrbor?

Lieut.. GreeTlhut Organizes Veterans
 of World War

Lieut.. Eugene Greenhut of New York effected a preliminary organi zation of Bridgeport veterans of the late war at Elks' hall last night. A number of soldiers of all branches were present and were welcomed by Postmaster Greene, who encouraged them to unite the boys who had done their bit, so that their welfare in the community would be safeguarded.
 Lieut.. Greenhut, who is one of the organizers of the organization in New York, said: '+The object of the or ganization is not to confine its mem bers solely to those who wore a uni form. I would suggest that you form an association of all patriotic citi- zens This would bring both factions together common meeting ground to look after the needs of the community. It would make 1t vitally easier for the returning men to be ab- sorbed by their community and would bring direct help to them if they were in need.

 President Wise of the United said in New York yesterday: Wishing to stabilize prices so that all retailers would make reasonable profit under the exist ing conditions as compared with the old, we took the bull by the horns and raised our prices ac- cordingly.
 We did not expect that having taken a stand to protect the le- gitimate profits of all, large and small our action would be used as a club to reach our trade and dis organize our business
 In New York yesterday the prices of both chains of stores were about the same, but in Bridgeport the managers of the United had received no word from headquarters to change their prices, and so here Schuite, is sell ing the same brands for Is cents, that the United are charging 20 cents for.

The bill was on the calendar and In the senate thequestton had been divided, the favorable report of the committee on cities and boroughs ac- cepted and the bill rejected.
 House chairman Sherwood endeav- ored to have the same course follow ed in the house and got as far as having the committee report accepted and then met opposition from Minor ity Leader Geary who wanted in formation as to the peculiar proposi- ton.
 MT. Sherwood had explained that the bill appeared to have grown out of the grievances of three real estate dealers, only one Of whom presented a concrete case to the commit.e~ and that not having any special mevr< in 1t. MT. Geary poked ridicule at a committee which would report favor ably on such a case as Mir. Sherw wood described and asked il the house had all the information. MT. Sherwood said he had never favored the bill and believed any such investigation should start in Bridgeport and not in the legislature in Hartford He said
