Prof. Kelly Miller Addresses

proud that they can claim men who

no civil discrimination here ana that
colored people should help to keep
1t so by doing there part in up.
More than $500 colored citizens
attended the meeting. Among the
speakers was Commissioners Oyster

"What will President Coolidge
Jdo?" You hear the same ques-
ton everywhere. It rises in a
million throats. A hundred jour-
nalists would give much to be
able to tell their readers what
President Coolidge will declare in
his first message to Congress and
what policies he will pursue in
the next important six months.
Abstract Answer Easy.
A legion of statesmen and dipIo-
mats, gathered here from the four
corners of the world, would lay
their plans and projects to help or
halt him, according as these plans
affected the destinies Of themselves
land their nations. A score Of can
ds0ates would start stringing a
reps across his path, ankle-high,
Ike the kids on Halloween. An
army of lobbyists here would sell
that inside info to their bosses.
What he will do can be told
very safely, in the abstract. The
Judge summed il all up in his
charge to the jury in that acct
dent case: What would the aver
age. prudent man do under aver
age and normal circumstances"
Figure President Coolidge as 4
conservative, but independent, with
occasional progressive trimmings,
with pride of reputation. who has
gone through all the political Of
fees from city solicitor. mayor,
State representative, Senator and
president of the Senate, lieutenant
governor, governor, and Vice Presi-
dent to President without single
defeat, and make your own guess
on what he will do. One might
look over the facts in any given
case and ask himself: What would
the average right-minded man de
under the circumstances"
4 The Muscle Shoals Case.
Muscle Shoals is a good illustra-
tion. Why shouldn't Henry Ford
have it? The farmers want cheap
fartilizer. Southern States want
cheap power electricity. The ma
ton needs a nitrate plant ready
for time Of war. He is willing TO
pay good price, spend $50, 10000,
limit himself to per cent profit
and turn back the entire plant to
the country, finally. The Govern
ment recently received. $4,000, 900
for Gorgas plant. which it can
spend for a new power house. ( n
less the Government spends soIrIv
and Ford spends some, the plant
will be worth little or nothing. Why
not trail along with citizen who
Is turning his war profits back
into the National Treasury? What
would the average prudent man do
under the circumstances?
What would the average, prI-
dent man do who has OF his

government operation of railroads
during the war is shown by the an,
nouncement that the government and
the Pennsylvania railroad have adj

The railroad agrees to pay $50,
600 900 to the government. The rail-
road operates through the eastern
munition manufacturing territory,
and the government spent large
amounts in extending terminals, build
ing new tracks, and adding equip
ment. These improvements were
made while the railroad would be
endeavoring to market its bonds to
secure funds.
