TALKED LIKE NORTHERN
MAN; ALMOST LYNCHED

Pin Bluff, Ark, Sept. 27.-Having
n his possession clippings which
showed that he had been delivering
lectures in Louisiana and Mississippi,
rging colored people to stay in the
South is all that saved J. w. White,
a colored visitor, from a severe fog
cling by whites at Crossett, Ark, re-
emily. Five white men had taken
White five miles west of Crosses,
to either lynch of fog him because he
was believed to be a labor agent, and
that he had enticed many colored
people to 60 North. White was well
dressed and is said to have "talked
like Northern Negro" and this was
why he was mistaken for a labor
agent. When his captors became con-
WINGED that he was "on their side of
the fence" they brought him back to
town, loaded him down with good
cigars and other refreshments, and
sent him on his way rejoicing.

is THIS NOT PATRIOTISM
Chicago Herald-E xaminer.)


"The honor of my race, family and
self is at stake. Every one is expect
ing me to do big things. I will! My
whole body and soul are to be thrown
recklessly about the field tomorrow.
Beware of mass interference.
Fight low, with your eyes open and
toward the play. Roll back the in
reference. Watch out for cross
bucks and reverse end runs. Be on
your toes every minute if you ex-
pect to make good. JACK"
So John Trice, colored, tackle on
the Iowa State football team, wrote
down his thoughts in Minneapolis
the night before his first big game.
And the next day, on the field, he was
killed in action.
Will anybody say that the boys
death was a waste? Will anybody
say that the spirit he expressed and
left the record of to burn in the
hearts of men who shall follow him,
was not a high and flaming thing?
Will anybody say that latter all,
he was only going to play in game"
or that eff he had lived he might have
been a useful citizen?
Useful! So he might have been,
and would have been. No boy with
that light in his heart could have
failed to lead men on. But has he not
been useful?
He was not playing a game only.
He saw himself as symbol, and the
game as life. Not what he played,
but how he played it, counts. A
colored, he stood for honor, for cour-
age, for aspiration. He went to COL
lege to learn to be a good farmer, and
he would have been a good farmer,
for he was man.
He was only playing game, but
he played it as soldier dies for his
country. He was only colored boy
in an agricultural college, but he left
a message that will not be forgotten
while determination endures. All he
did was his best.
The letter is his monument, and it
is monument that his race, and his
family, and his college, and his coun-
try may be proud of.
Only a game-till John Trice made
it beacon.

THE
RIGHT THING AT
THE RIGHT TIME
TRAVELLING
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

A good custom il better than q law
Euripides.
NUR friends are beginning to travel
~ again.
Now it is more like old times, and
If our friends 60 abroad they 60 with
lighter hearts and with more baggage.
Therefore it Is quite the thing to give
them little gifts and, if they want US
to, to see them off. Be sure, though.
that you are wanted. Nothing is more
embarrassing than to arrive unexpect-
eddy on the deck Of a steamer to find
the friend you have gone to see of
surrounded by an invited party Of
which you are not member. So don't
60 unless you are quite certain that
you are wanted, both for your sake
and for the sake Of the traveller.
AS for the gifts you send, be sure
that they are really desirable, and not
merely something that will fill up the
steamer trunk and bags. If you know
of some travelling accessory Of which
your friend stands in need, that Is
good choice. A book Is never amiss
because after it is read it can be left
on shipboard If it 10 in the way.
Candy, although it is a conventional
present, and one of the few things that
a man is supposed to give to a woman,
is nevertheless not very good choice.
A great many persons even though
they enjoy ocean travel are particu-
larly careful not to indulge In sweets.
Flowers, another Of the conventional
gifts of men to women, are always in
perfectly good taste. However, they
are sometimes in the way in the state
room. If you know that anyone dis
likes flowers on the steamer don't send
them.
AS in all other cases where gifts are
concerned a man may send flowers,
candy or books to woman. Books
in this case include magazines, and
sometimes half a dozen current maya
zines are as welcome gift as anyone
could receive. They provide just the
kind of reading that some people like
on shipboard and can be discarded
without a qualm when their reader is
through with them.

BUILDING TRADES
SCALE UNDER WAY

A satisfactory adjustment of the
differences between the Building
Trades council and the building con,
tractors Of Portland is predicted by a
number of unionists following the ap.
p0intment of a joint committee rep
resenting the two interests. The
committee consists Of three members
from each group who viii confer
with view to reaching an agreement
to be- submitted to the respective
memberships for ratification.
The differen ces have arisen
through the building crafts request.
ing that the wage scale be returned
to the level of 1890, that scale being
cut approximately 10 per cent two
years ago.
OF the IL crafts in the building In
dustry the wage is in dispute in less
than half. Plasterers, electrical
workers. bricklayers and plumbers
have been granted increases recently.
A number Of crafts suffered no cut in
1921. These crafts are not now de-
manding increases.
