COOLIDGE MUST SOON
DECIDE COHEN CASE
Negro Now Serving Without Sal
airy Must Have Commission
or Get Out in December
WASHINGTON. D. q 49,

WASHINGTON, d. C. Oct. :
Among President Coolidge's I'M
pleasant heritages from his predec-
essor is the necessity of reappoint-
ing on dropping Walter L. Cohen,
the most powerful negro politi-
clan in the South" as Controller of
Customs in New Orleans, Cohen is
now holding the office under a re-
cess appointment made by Pres.
Harding last May, following the
Senate's rejection of the nomina-
ton.
Cohen will continue to serve with
out salar until the next congress
convenes in December but will then
have to have new commission
from the President If Mr.. Coolidge
renews the appointment it will of
fend the Lilly Whites" one of the
two Republican factions which have
been in controversy ever since Co
hen was named. The Presidents
failure to renominate Cohen would
disgruntle large number of negro
politicians and voters.
The Lilly Whites now have an
influential ally in the White House
on the person of Secretary Slemp.
When he was Congressman for the
Ninth District of Virginia he started
a lily white" organization which
was intended to exclude negroes
from public office AID from po-
sitions in the Republican party. He
also voted against the. Dyer anti
lynching bill which thousands of
negroes vainly pleaded with the last
Republican Congress to enact. At
the time of Cohen's first nomina
ton he had the backing Of the Re-
publican National Committee and
of large section of the Republican
workers. in louisiana. 1t was aleg-
ed by Warren Kearney, regarded as
leader of the lily whites that the
appointment was made in the face
of a promise from President Hard
ing that he would not nominate any
negro to a Federal position in Louis
lana or elsewhere in the South.

The average spectator at a game
is of the opinion that the quarter
back does all the thinking for the
team as far as the selection of plays
on the field is concerned. Superb
cially speaking, he does; he, with
the captain, guides the offense. The
spectator forgets, however, that the
quarterback in his turn is guided by
the system and that all of the men
plus the coaches are part of that
system. The system develops foot
ball brains, controls the football
thought of the quarterback, and
furnisheh him the data on which to
base his generalship.
The coaches must compel the
Pquartefback to respect the law of
averages land teach him discrimina-
ton between sound football and the
go as you please" hit or miss kind.
They should assist him in selecting
the plays not by merely telling him
what and when to choose, but by
terrifying him with a group of for
nations and cycle of plays which,
because they are related, implant
themselves firmly in his memory.
The kind of play that is taught.
the way it is taught, the time the
play Is drilled, the part of the field
1t Is practiced on, the backfield man
which the play emphasizes and the
number of plays, are all cogs in the
wheel that operates the football
machine.
This system should not be so
rigid in its demands that the gen
eral cannot extricate it from a
groove. but should be flexible
enough to be varied from year to
year because of the varying ability
of the players.
The quarter and the captain must
be so much a part of the system
that they understand the true mean
ing of every play and the part each
man of the team is to play. They
must know the why and wherefore
of every move which the coaches
make, such as using play "A" in
preference to play 3D." and WHY
back No. 2 is used so much more
than No. 3 or No. 4 and why one
should punt on the third down
nearly all of the time against GER
tam opponents, and why one should
punt half of the time on the second
and the other half on the fourth

THE BUILDING BOOM

There is much significance in the character of the building
boom that Perth Amboy is now experiencing. While there Is al
great deal of work going on, the building trades being extremely
busy, there are practically no dwelling houses being built. There
are several stores, lodge and association buildings, and some fac
tory structures, but new residences are conspicuous by their abb
sence. 1t is something that is deserving of serious consideration.
The building inspector says there are only eight or ten resi-
dcnces under construction in Perth Amboy. For a city of $4,000
population this is nothing at all. When we visit other places and
see block after block of houses going up we cannot help but con-
trast the situation with the condition in Perth Amboy. What
does this mean for the future of the city, How are we to con-
tinue to grow if new houses are not being built for people to live
in' Why is Perth Amboy not experiencing a boom in the building
Of residences along with every other town and city, Why is it
that such building as is going on here is almost exclusively of a
commercial and semipublic nature. 1t is up to Perth Amboy, if
II wants to continue to grow, to find the answer and apply the
remedy.
The situation in the suburbs and neighboring towns is entirely
different. Residences ttat are to be future homes of the work
crs of Perth Amboy are going up on every hand. 1t is plain that
while Perth Amboy is getting the business, the ~neighboring towns
&c getting the people. While these people will continue to dc

ut in our civic life. This is bound to have its effect.

ROMANCE OF A MARBLE LADY
TOLD OF BY HASKIN
Daily Letter by Frederic j.. Haskip

pleased to curtail the mason's bill,
the owner cheerfully acquiesced and
the stone mason brought the statue
to Washington.
The mason, in addition to his
structural work, also was a carver
Of tombstones and monuments. He
had a stone-cutting yard in Wash
ington, directly across the street
from the United States Capitol
Building and there he took his
statue and set it on a pedestal. He
diligently set about making inquiries
and finally ferreted out the old story
of how the statue had como to
America-of how it was in reality
II Of the Elgin marbles, in all
probability the work of Phidias.
Lost Among The Tombstones
A craftsman who took pride in
excellent workmanship and pleasure
in beauty, he made no announce
ment of his discovery although he
could have sold the statue for many
thousands of dollars. Any museum
and scores Of private collectors
would have been pleased to pay him
almost any price he might ask.
He preferred merely to keep it
standing in his yard, surrounded by
his W humber specimens of the
s~tonecutter's art and there il remain
ed. For the most part. no one paid
any attention to it at all. Occasion
ally, some one with a discriminating
eye would remark the statue and
make some inquiries concerning it
but its owner was rather reticent
and invaria bly, said the statue was
not for sale.
On one occasion, some twenty
years ago, a c-onnoisseur of art of
wide reputation happened TO pass
by the old s~toneyard. He saw the
statue and gazed on 1t in wonder.
To his practiced eye, it stood cut
from among the surrounding stones
like a rose among daisies. He went
to the ~stonecutter's shop. asked for
the owner and said to him:
perhaps you will think that I
am a little crazy, but il that statue
out there is not a Phidias o a PraS-
%iteles, it is the work OF an imitato-
as great as either"
you're perfectly right" answered
the stonecutter, THE statue is the
work of Phidias."
Well, then, what in the world IS
it doing in a tombstone cutters
yard?"
The s~tonecutter, recognizing a fell
low appreciation of the magnificent
work. told him the whole story and
he since has told 1t in many eapi-
tails of the world.
The end OF the tale is that the
old s~tonecutter died recently and his
estate, including the stoneyard, the
Phidias and the miscellaneous col
lection of tombstones passed 20 his
heir, a man who had not followed
his fathers art and trade and had
no active interest in art treasures.
, The whole estate was put up for sale.
Even then, the old statue was not
commercially exploited and many
tombstopes and blocks OF marble
were sold before the statue. Finally,
the word got around among the peo-
pie in Washington who knew the
story-probably not more than halt
a dozen-and the statue was sold %

Bay st. Louis Turns Down Issue
for 100000.

Gulfport, Miss, July 3.-In the
election held at Bay st. Louis to
determine the issuance of Sl00,00o
for the erection of a new high school
building the proposal was defeated
by twenty votes. The interest IN
the election ran high and a tote!
of 425 votes was cast. At the close
of the count the vote stood 20
against and 205 for.
Defeat of the measure is explained
on the ground that Bay st. LOUIS
has an outstanding bonded indeb-
tedness of $30s,0O0, the greater part
of which has been voted within the
last five years for seawall construc-
ton and the installation OF mod
ern waterworks system, and the ad-
