CALIFORNIA DAILY ADVO-
GATES DEMOCRACY

(By Associated Negro Press)
z TOCKTON, CALF, June I'm
- speaking editorially on THE De-
mands of the Negro" and going into
detail concerning the achievements of
the race. the Stockton Record, white
daily, states that the colored people
of America are asking no more than
should be accorded them if we are at
all really sincere in what we are APP
plauding in President Wilson and 9th
er leaders of national and world
thought in their efforts to establish
and perpetuate democracy"
Concerning the much talked of mis-
nomer of social equality the Record
says: "The most vexatious element
of the entire Negro race problem
seems to be the ghost of social equal
ity which bobs up every time the word
Negro is mentioned This, however,
is an issue by itself. Social equality
is no more matter of legislation than
is intellectual equality. To accord the
Negro his political, educational and re-
ligious privileges is the sacred consti- |
tutional duty of the American people,
but this does not involve the question
of social relationship. one is not !
Il social equal because he is white
man. Taste, culture, affinity and en-
are the things that deter
mine social equality. If either the Ne
gro or the white man prefers to ac-
cord his own race superiority and pri-
ority that is his privilege so long as
he does not interfere with the right ac-
corder to others by the constitution"
The Colorado statesman., 1919-06-21

an enterprise would command the sup
port of many large companies that
would be interested in aiding the new
venture TO become firmly established,
Another idea is that the Negro insur-
ance company, with which the cooper
alton of other Negro organizations
would be assured, should make the
necessary connections with local build
ing and loan associations.
Since the war many northern cit
les have had such an increased de-
mand for houses and apartments from
colored tenants that in certain COM
munities the congestion has become
serious. The urgent need of dwellings
that shall be in every way desirable
has been emphasized by the fact that
there is a steadily increasing number
of Negroes able to pay for comforts
and conveniences as well as for mere
shelter and place to sleep.

Concentrate on Measures.

Citing the three measures selected
by the Legislative Council of the Cali
fornia Federation of Women's Clubs
as typical of the legislation women are
interested in, Mrs. Robert j. Burdette,
wife of the noted humoriSt and lee
turer, now of San Francisco, Calf,
yesterday suggested the enactment of
similar measures by the present Re
publican Congress.
with the enfranchisement of wom-
en- in California; said Mrs. Burdette,
"came the desire for the enactment in
to law of some of the measures for
which, as women, they had been work
ing previously Hundreds of sugges-
tions were sent in, many faulty bills
drawn, and it was realized that un-
less our energies were concentrated
upon the most practical and most
needed, nothing would be accom-
plished.
"To this end, therefore, a legisla-
tive council of women composed of
members of the state federation of
womens clubs was elected, its object
to look over and select three meas
ures upon which the women's energies
would be concentrated. Headquarters
were maintained at the capital in Sac
ramento during the state legislative
session, that the women's legislative
council might be in touch with and aid
in the passage of these measures.
''This year the three measures be-
hind which the women concentrated
their energies were a state bureau of
child hygiene; community property
law giving women the same rights as
men: and law for fallen women
which would take them from the de-
praving influences and confinement of
Jail, and in the health-giving en-
vironment of farm, let them regain
health and self-respect.
"Such measures as these interes:
women far more than intricate techni-
cal questions because they touch the
daily life and daily needs of everyday
life, and make for better conditions
and better citizenship-and this means
better government. And that, l take
it, is what every real American wants
and aspires to-" added Mrs. Burdette.

ASK RAILROAD DIRECTOR GEN.
ERAL ABOUT NEGRO DIS
ELIMINATION.

CHARGING receipt of information
~ that the director general of the
United States railroad administra-
tion had issued an order discrimi
mating against Negroes in the sale
of tickets, the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie today addressed an inquiry to
| Walker D. Hines, director general,
demanding Gin the name of United
States citizenship the immediate
resembling of the order, if it had
been issued.
The letter to Mr.. Hines is as fol-
lows:
1--WE have been informed that for
some time past the offices of the
railroad administration have been
discriminating against purchasers OF
railroad tickets for third parties who
were colored. The United States
Railway ticket office at Cleveland.
Ohio. refused to sell to the Rev. H.
C. Bailey, pastor of the Antioch Bap-
tist ,Cndrch of that city, ticket
from Madison, Ala, to Cleveland,
Ohio, which Mr.. Bailey desired to
send to his daughter, Mrs. Lottie
Beadle.
"The clerk refused to sell Mr.
Bailey the ticket. saying that an or
der had been issued by the director
general against such practice on the
ground that it was encouraging col
ored labor to come North
We wish to inquire whether such
an order has been issued by the dl-
rector general. Should it haye peen
issued we would wish to protest TO
YOU in the name of our 200 branches
and $1,000 members of both races
in thirty-nine states against such an
unwarranted invasion of the constl-
tutionai rights of individuals. Such
an order would constitute an intoler-
able tyranny and we demand IN the
name of United States citizenship
that if it has been issued it be re-
scinded at once

SIX HUNDRED TEACHERS EN-.
ROLLED AT TENTH ANNUAL
SUMMER SCHOOL AT TUS-
KEGEE INSTITUTE.

Tuskegee, Ala, June 14.-Five
hundred and thirty-nine teachers
from fourteen states enrolled at Tus-
kegee Institute Monday morning for
the opening of the Tenth Annual
Summer School. This enrolment is
unprecedented and shows how the
teachers in the rural communities in
the South are striving to strengthen
themselves for the work and the
heavier responsibilities which have
come to them by reason of recon-
struction and re-adjustment of con-
ditions which grew out of the war.
The enrolment to date is 57S.
At eleven o'clock Monday morn
ing, the opening day of the session,
DR.. Robert r. Morton, principal, ad-
dressed words of welcome to the
teachers. Among other things. he
said:
Teachers as a rule make great
sacrifices. You do it because you
appreciate the Importance of the
service you are rendering to the race
and to the nation. 1t is both inspir-
ing and fascinating to take child
and watch his growth during the
months and years of his school life
as he developes into young manhood.
There is nothing that equals it in in
terest and mutual helpfulness. There
is no amount of money that can COM
pensate for the services rendered IN
the development of character-the
effect of your life upon the boys ana
girls whom you are teaching. There
fore, | do not yield-even to the
preachers, for whom 1 have the high
est respect-in comparing their sacrl-
fices with those of the average school
teacher"
Other speakers for the week were:
DR.. Geo. D. Goddard, rural school
agent for the state of Georgia; Mr.
C. ]. Galloway, director of the ex-
tension department, Tuskegee Insti-
tute. which directs the work of the
Rosenwald Rural School building.
Mr.. w. B. Riley, superintendent OF
education, Macon county, Alabama;
DR.. H. o. Sargent of the federal
board of vocational education.
Mr.. Ezra c. Roberts, director OF
the academic department and sum
mer school, commenting upon the en-
rollment, said: "Of the 500 teach
ers now on the grounds, 235 are
teachers in Rosenwald schools and
they have come for special training
which we have arranged for them.
Through the generosity of the gem
eraI education board. the teachers in
the Rosenwald schools have had
their railroad fare paid to Tuskegee
in order that they might have this
special training which is designed to
establish certain definite standards
in so far as industrial work is con-
cerned."
In addition to the regular summer
school course, special instruction in
thrift and Red Cross first aid are
being given.

many women are in politics there must
naturally be readjustment of politi-

many more.
"As the party of progress, the lie

Miss Moriarty belongs to the Wom-

are earnestly advocating the affilla-
