WHY NOT MEET IT?

Yesterday one of our best known
Negro citizens, who has been a faithful
employee Of the state house during leg
islative sessions, entered the lobby OF
one Of our best hotels to canvass some
OF the members of the new legislature,
and was promptly told that he could not
remain in the hotel, il he wanted to
eommunieate with members OF the leg
islature he must do it by telephone.
Now this was in plain violation of
Law, for which anyshotel could have its
doors closed, lie persisted in. But that
is not the serious side Of il; the serious
side il the effect this and other exclu-
ei0ns lis having on the minds of the
younger generation. This man was born
IL slavery, and he is used to it. But the
boys and girls who are coming on, and
being educated. are not used to it, and
do not understand it.
Lawrence. Jones Of Piney Woods
school, on the occasion of his last visit

children when they are asked WhyFtheir

We ride in the street cars with the
colored people, we have them ON our

and put all our relations on the basis OF
peTsonal merit. There are whites we
do not tolerate because they are en-
titled to IL. There are coIored people
who earn the same exclusion. But, be-.

era in the world % affairs by Tecogniz-

patriotism, or courage, or fidelity, there
can be no color line in Americanism.-

The Council Of Peoples Commissars

This new ruble note IS not as

Soviet exchange rate enables you TO
get about $4,000 rubles for the dol

one OF the Illicit banks you can get
as high az 10000 rubles for the dol

SCHOOLS OPENED MONDAY

The city schools opened Nor
day with an unusually large at
tendance of the first week.
Largest for the past four years.
The Junior high school Will be
in like proportion, being approx
imately 100 pupils.
The greatest difficulty is ex-
perienced in finding rooms
large enough to hold the aver
age class.
The elimination of manual
training and home economics
has caused a stamped to the
commercial and foreign Ian
guage departments. Begin
ming Latin has 27 and French
II, both being large classes for
that line of work
The beginning class in type
writing at the school was so
large as to make a division of it
necessary.
The school is blessed with a
line of big huskies for foot ball
and is looking forward to the
first line-mash.
Miss Gunderson will give an
evening course in short hand,
lypewriting and book keeping
provided there are enough pu-
pills to justify the opening Of
this particular course. TUT
ton will be decided later. The
course will be open to any one
wishing this kind Of work.
