GOOD CITIZENS FURNISHED

The Piney Woods Institute came into the lime
light for bit of publicity this week thru the COM
mendable article by Alma and Paul Ellerbe, pub
lished in the April issue of McClures magazine.
The fact That getting an education in the Sunny
South, is not simple task, was well pointed out
and the earnest endeavors of those wishing to
learn are greatly appreciated.
The compulsory education of persons under
sixteen years of age, which is fairly well enforced
in the large cities of the North, does not include
the southern Negro of the farming districts. The
commercial system still being a system of barter,
on account of the scarcity of money, all other
units of exchange are practically dispensed with.
Because of these conditions, the practical educa-
tion afforded by the Pney Woods Institute, under
the direction of Lawrence c. JONES' principal which
requires little cash. is of unsurpassed value to the
1t trains those who learn, that they should
pass their knowledge on, and the striving for an
education by the sweat of his brow makes each
student value what he can learn. AS time goes on
this institution will become one of the nation s
prize assets
We say national because the effect of the
school upon each community will be felt thru the
students they spread out thru the country.
The keynote of the success of the school is thrift
therefore the students will carry into each COM
munity the much needed lesson of thrift Such
schools deserve our support because they furnish
us with desirable citizens by their thorough sy-
stem of encouragement of good habits and
thoughts and the discouragement of improper ha-
bits and low morals.

NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK

The eighth annual national Negro Health
Week is being held this week, April to 8. 1t is
a week that should attract interest and should be
observed by every Negro in America.
Through the influence of Tuskegee Institute
the national Negro Health Week was started eight
years ago and each year it is growing of more i'm
portance to the Negro race. 1t is approved of by
the United States Public Health Bureau and they
issue pamphlets and magazines regarding plans
that should be followed. A very opportune pro-
gram for the week has been arranged and publish
ed, and it is hoped that same will be followed
very closely.
The Tuskegee Negro conference and the Ma
tiona Negro Business league, who are the princi-
pal sponsors of this movement, have done Won
derful work. They have accomplished more than
the general public appreciates. In this work they
have been aided by Negro agencies and organiza-
tions, especially the newspapers and women's
clubs
This week the public has the opportunity to
show its appreciation of the work and acquaint
itself with the efforts that have been put forth for
the betterment of rising race
We are sure that the Negroes of America will
take advantage of this privilege provided for them
and aid in the movement with work and encour
agement

A BAD MOVE

Out in Portland, Oregon, the mayor and the
city council have taken into their own hands the
rights and privileges of citizens of this democratic
country and have enacted law restraining whites
and blacks from intermingling at dances. In other
words, they have decided with whom the blacks
shall play and with whom the whites shall play"
So we learn from pacific coast journals.
Such legislation is entirely unfair and an in
fringement on the constitutional rights of Amer-
can citizens. The spirit of such law and the law
itself is In defiance to principles for which black
men sacrificed their very lives on the soil OF
France. 1t is not only to be condemned from a
'black point of view" but by any fair minded peo-
pie with any sense of justice We cOncede that the
interminging under some circumstances does not
promote high respectable social equality but we
do believe that it is a sacred personal privilege
for man to choose his companions-those with
whom he wishes to associate himself with To-
gether these companions are subject to doing the
same things any company of people will do re-
gardlesS. They may promote business enterprises
social welfare domestic welfare, carry on com
merce, construct great buildings, promote racial
harmony; then again, they may do disrespectable
things promote disorder, act in ways unbecomnp
good citizens even break laws and be arrested II
depends upon what they stand for in life
But to make law prohibiting blacks and
whites from intermingling in any way, endangers
the attainment OF the exact principles of democra
cy, human rights and civil rights. 1t is a dis.
grace which democratic people should strive to dc
away with. 1t is problem which national state
or city governments should not deal with 1t is q
problem for each man to meet and decide for him
self.
Portland will feel the results of this awkward
step.

GOOD FOR THE A. G.

Our rather belated congratula-
tions are offered General Barrett
for his hard boiled" stand against
one of his officers who refused to
obey one of the rules OF the sum
mer encampment at Fl. Sill.
While the whole affair is not
worthy of the widespread publicity
given it, it is indicative Of the nan
ner Of mar who is at present adju-
tant general Of the state.
This particular officer, though he
ranked we'll in the state guard. re-
fused to submit to a bit OF discl-
pline. Suppose he had been a priv
ate?
General Barrett demanded and
got his resignation, That was the
proper course.
And if Governor Robertson is
wise, he will not attempt to re-
store the rank Of the denoted Of
ficer, the Ardmoreite believes.
1t is a radical mistake to criticise
the guard because one officer made
an ass of himself. The guard as an
arm of our national defense, must
depend upon its peace time discip-
line as a school for wal time con-
duct. And the guard comes in
mighty handy some times.

raili Dads of the country, and there

of public suffering, certainly the
government has an Astounding right
to step in and act for this public.
Perhaps the most sensible sugges-
ton yet made in this regard, is that
when a strike reaches unmanagabls
proportions, where governmental
interference is necessary, the gov
ernment should first take over the
industry involved, then place troops
thereabouts TO see that the indus
try is not halted.
Troops, used merely to protect an
industry where workers are strik-
ing, prompt the Legitimate criticism
from laboring mem that the gov

Let the government first assume
control of the property in ques-
ton then it can be run until own

II the state would turn just a frac

crowd he boil weevil out of Oklahoma
millions of dollars would be added 70
the potential riches Of this common
wealth.
None of the citizens Of Oklahoma
City will realize just what a menace
the boil weevil is until late next fall
when some farmers who ought rave
money will have nothing but a SAD
looking cotton patch with a lot OF worth
less cotton hanging from the bolls, left
to weather in the winds.
The boil weevil is spotted through the
whole cotton producing area Of Oklaho'
ma. What is a clear patch today may
be an infested field tomorrow. No
| farmer should lay his cotton by this
year and drive off TO camp meeting
| Everlasting fighting, constant watch
ing. will keep clean fields clean.
Every field should be inspected daily
| Pick a boil here and there, tear u
apart, and II you find a weevil go &c
work.
Every banker, every merchant every
town business man should crusade
against the boil weevil with the fervei
of an interested party. The fall pros
perlty Of Oklahoma which looms Sc
fair in the neal future, Will be impaired
If the boil weevil is permitted to lay
waste the cotton crop.
A good cotton crop means good times

The word cop originated in Lon
don, from the initials Of constable of
police" This interesting bit OF infor-
nation comes from Enright, New York

Enright has 1900 policemen under
him, 100 being traffic cops. The
other Il, 900 guard 1000, 900 people and
$40, 900, 0O0. 900 of treasure.
This probably is an average for the
nation on which basis each American
policeman keeps an eye on CSC people
