WHITE TEACHER FIRED
BECAUSE OF PREJUDICE.

Saxton's River, VT, June 2.-Roland
G. Batchelder (white), science teach
er at Vermont academy, has resigned
at the request of the academy Off
cials as result of his refusal to eat
at the same table with boy of our
group who recently arrived at the
school from Haiti. The request that
he resign, the officials said, was the
outcome of alleged insolence to the
faculty in connection with the Haitian.
Batchelder is a graduate of Dart
mouth, 1921.
The Colorado statesman., 1922-06-10
(From New York Globe.)

G.J
a veritable epidemic of lynching has
spread throughout certain southern
states. Since May 6 eight Negroes
have been lynched in Texas, and Tues
day Georgia mob surrounded a
swamp in the effort to capture n fugi-
tive Negro. No other nation which
lays any claim to civilization indulges
in such frantic exhibitions of primi-
tive savagery. The phenomenon, how
ever, is not peculiarly southern. Illi-
nois is as bad as Texas, and Pennsyl-
vania is not better than Virginia. 1t
is a problem of race relations, and
decent public sentiment in many
southern states is opposed to insane
manifestations of fear and cruelty in
dealing with Negro offenders just as
similar men and women disapprove
mob violence in the north. The out
rageous fact is, however, that in both
regions feeble public officials condone
the acts of the worst elements.
Governor Pat NJ Neff of Texas
seems to be such n creature When
asked whether he contemplated doing
anything to bring to justice mobs
which murdered eight Negroes, he said
that he had no statement to make.
1t is difficult to conceive a more
cowardly attitude. If Mexico or any
lesser country had indulged in violence
to the degree permitted in Texas and
ut least condOned in silence, if not
actually approved by the governor, in
tervention and war would be imminent
Texas is guilty of the same kind of
success as is the Turk, and for much
the same reason-race prejudice. Yet
most Texans regard the Turks as Il
very cruel people!
The anti-lynching bill, which has
passed the House, is now pending in
the Senate. A determined effort is
being made by those senator's who ex-
pect to appeal to Negro constituents
in the autumn to obtain a floor debate
upon the bill. on the other hand,
Senator Borah and others whose opn-
ions on matters of constitutional law
are worthy of consideration now state
that the present bill is unconstitu-
tional. If that is true, the bill ought
to be redrafted and, if possible, the
constitutional objections ought to be
removed. 1t is useless to give vent to
heroic legislative gesture by passing
a doomed measure. 1t ought, however,
to be possible to devise some legal
means of compelling barbarious com
munities in the American nation to
observe the common decencies of the
law. That is the immediate problem.

NEGRO STUDENTS LEAD In MEMORY
CONTEST

Kansas City, Mo.-Three weeks ago
the local daily papers carried an art-
Gle that the Negro school boys did not
march in the Boys Parade because
they were not given their alphabetical
location, but were always 'hitched on
to the end of the procession. Now,
the same papers announce that the
Negro pupils lead in music memory
test and two colored schools made the
highest marks.
The Board of Education inaugur-
ated the system of competition in mu-
sic memory to counteract the Jazz
craze" Miss Mabel Glenn, a noted eX-
pert in music, is the general supervfs-
or and has several associates, one of
whom is colored, Miss Blanche Morri-
son. During the term, certain selec-
tions We're famiIiarized by the pupils
in the various ward schools. On May
18th, at the Junior College, 1000 pu-
pills competed for honors. The col
ored schools We're given the first
chance, at the same building, and un-
der the same conditions only three
hours before the whites.
1t is significant that although the
Negro schools competed among them
selves, two of them made higher
scores than any white school in an
identical competition. The average for
the five highest white schools is 97.19
while first five colored schools made
977S.
1.-THE Kansas City Star" the leading
local daily paper, states, "The James
and w. w. Yates (colored) schools
won first places in the music memory
contests Wednesday at the Junior Col
lege, the Sanford b. Ladd and Wen
dell Phillips (colored) winning second
places. The competition was very
close, the first twelve white schools
ranging from So to 9S.375 in their
standing, the first five Negro schools
ranging from SOS to 995. Perfect
scores were made by 81 white and Al
600 contestants"
Prizes of $50 worth of records were
given to the two highest schools and
S25 worth given to those winning sec
ond place.
The phenomenal success of the col
ored pupils is largely due to the high
grade of efficiency and persistence on
the part of Miss Morrison, the super
visor, and the cooperation OF the
school principals. Both Prof. Herri-
ford, principal of Yates school, and
lips, say that they expect to keep the
lead next year.

Holley the Victim Of
Race Prejudice at
Naval Academy

The report that Emil T. Holley, the
young man appointed by the New
York congressman to the Naval Acad-
emy at Annapolis, Md, had fallen in
his mental test is nothing more than
could have been expected; that is to
say, the report. Race prejudice in
America is complete, absolute degener-
ate insanity, without modification or
palliatiOn. There is no question in the
mind of any sane individual, whether
he be white or black, but that the men
of Holley are sufficient to pass any
fair and just examination or test; but
where the disposition is to force fail
ure and thereby establish the absurd
ity of the prejudice claim to inferior
ity, it would be silly to expect men
possessed with that prejudice, and
therefore blind to every sense of rea-
son, justice and honor, to do other
wise. We venture to say that if the
questions submitted and the answers
given by Holley should be submitted
to any intelligent body of men unde
filed by race prejudice, that his stand
ing would be the highest or among
the highest of those taking the test.
The idea of placing in the hands of
individuals the power to do just what
their ignorant, blind and insane preju-
dice desires is not only humorous but
ludicrous, to think that they will re-
make themselves by exercising little
portion of justice, reason and fairness.
They say, however, that HOlley failed
in his mental test We do not believe
it: and it would take far more con-
vincing proof than the words OF the
three examiners who claim not TO
have known the individual whose pa
pers they were examining or whether
he was white or colored. The fight for
an entry into this academy must be
continued; and whether Holley has n
second opportunity or not, thee olored
citizens of this country must break
which has prevailed against their just
claims as citizens for over n half cen
tury Better far that there be no
Naval Academy, that there be no navy,
that there be no ships of war, if they
are to protect an institution of preju-
dice that has retarded the progress of
civilization and is the break power to
the advanced enlightenment of man
kind in the Western Hemisphere

Of the vanities and extravagances of
the present day WILL no doubt, hear
with surprise that 1t is not the van

admiring parents that keeps the pho

a photographer who has been making
some observations on folk who come
to his studio.
IF it wasn't for the babies we
would have to go out Of business,
he said. From the time they are
big enough to take out until they are
or 4 years old the parents can't
seem to get too many pictures of
them. And the only reason most of
them stop then, is because they have
another to start making pictures Of.
THE fiappers come in a poor sec
ond to the babies. They have some
pictures taken when they leave high
school. and again when they fall in
love-fatally, I mean. We can al
ways tell how serious it is when the
girl comes in first, tries TO look her
prettiest and has her picture taken,
and then a little later comes back
again, dragging the reluctant young
man to be photographed.

Horne favored heavy gold ship
ments, so that the United States, sud
denly flooded with gold, would see
the disadvantage Of upsetting trade

The Earl Of Balfour, acting foreign
secretary during the illness OF LORD

the note. Winston Churchill, minister
of colonies, was strongly in favor OF
issuing the note declaring it would ap'

Sir Auckland Geddes, the British

might in fact have a salutary effect.

Premier Lloyd George, after being
thus advised regarding the probable
effect in the United States, abandoned
the neutral position he had been hold

LOCALSPORT
CIRCLES
Team Mixes
With Belt Valley
Gridders as Start

Dopesters of high school football
in Great Falls will have an opportuni-
ty to form their opinions of the Blue
and White machine a week from Sat
urday when it meets Belt Valley high
in the opening practice game of the
season. Crouch and Shirley, the local
mentors, have been grilling the lads
through scrimmage the last few days
and are beginning to get results.
Leo Spogen, Belt coach, says he is
going to give Great Falls high the
hardest race the locals will have this
season in the smaller games.
Although Great Falls is much like
other schools throughout the state IN
not having veterans back, 1T proba-
bly, is a little worse off thai the
others in having any C team men
from last year to utilize.
However, George Sohl is being
looked forward to by the coaches as
the most apt candidate for punter
this season. He kicks well and
might work in well at fullback.
Several huskies have come to the
local high from the north country
along the high line. This has been
the result of several of the
smaller high schools eliminating the
last two years of the curriculums as
economy measures. With these men,
a part of the line should be assured,
with the proper training.
