To meet the miners demands for work, the companies turn over to them mine and offer them $1 for each ton of coal mined and loaded on cars. Thus twenty miners loading 100 tons in one day receive $1OO to divide among themselves.
 Once the coal is placed on the cars, though, the companies are the benefciaries, for they have succeed ed in getting a ton of coal at the tipple for $1, where it would cost them $1.75 under the Jacksonville agreement.
 And the men who do the work for $1 ton under this "co-opera- tive arrangement" are union men. who are not permitted, under the Jacksonville agreement, to do it for less than $1.75 a ton.

Austrian Factories Active
 Rolling Tobacco for Women

VIENNA, Apr. S.-The use Of to- bacco is increasing enormously in Austria. Although the population to- day is 6,700,000. the state factories now turn out more cigars than they did before the war when the country had population of 52,000000.
 One cause of the increase is found in the fact that women are smoking, not only after meals, but at all times of the day and everywhere. Also, there is no age restriction on the sale of tobacco to juveniles.
 A recent local exhibition arranged by the Anti-Nicotine Union, design ed to portray the alleged harmful et- fleets of tobacco, failed to interest the public.

EXTRA PAPER.

"
Tell the world that Washington, D. c.
boasts of the oldest colored daily in the
United States. and that it's still alive and
going strong. When '"The Washington Daily
American made its initial appearance OH the
streets and newsstands of the city, although
we were hopeful of its success, we were
afraid that it could not stand the day in and
day out strain required of a twenty-four hour
paper.
We had absolute confidence in its staff,
headed by David E. Taylor and Eugene L.
c. Davidson, for we knew if it could be done
they could do it; yet We were not any too
optimistic over the chances of their journal
istic infant, for we knew something of the
elements which challenge. the Negro press,
both weekly and monthly.
The sturdy little American has, however,
taken its permanent place in the field of the
Negro newspaper. 1t hasn't missed a single
issue and it has given the public news when
it was news. The editorials of the American,
with many of which we agree, and with some
of WHICH we do not, have set a new standard
Ct virile thought. Each one is very much
alive, logically argumentative and faces the
acts as Messrs. Taylor and Davidson see
them. The paper has been wide awake to
those vital matters of greatest concern of Ne
gro life and there is no denying the fact that
the American has rendered a useful service,
unselfshly and in a public spirited way.
Most important of all, its editors have
demonstrated the fact that a Negro daily is
just as possible as a white daily. IT'S A
REALITY. Their steadfastness is to be
commended, and the ranks of Negro journal
ism should rejoice that two such stalwarts as
they have, with their daily sheet, thrown TN
foreseen abilities and forces into a field of
crying need. Loig live the Washington Daily
American.

y &c 80

When Freedmen's Hospital was occupying
poorly equipped frame buildings, some twenty
years ago, near Sixth and Bryant Streets N.
w. Washington, D. c., we marveled at the
%temerity of the quiet young physician who ac-
cepted the call of the Government to become
Surgeon-in-C Chief of one of the Races young
est institutions of healing. In those days the
Negro medical profession was in its early
childhood and hospital stats made up of race
men and women were as rare as a day cold
day in June. White administrative officers
were doubtful of the abilities of the Negro
medical art, and. the only lever which was
prving Negro hospital efficacies up into their
own aim and right was the desire Of white
staffs to separate themselves as much as pos
sible from close contact wi h Negro patients
Or. Warfield accepted his new post with
modesty and with a deep love for service
He laid his own practice upon the atar OF
sacrifice and began the slow task of beginning
to build the present Freedrnen's Hospital. one
Of the mightiest institutions of its kind in
these United States.

HOWARD FACES
THE QUESTION.

The storm on Howard hilltop had merely
subsidized, and angry looking clouds are appar-
emily proclaiming the coming of a Judgment
dav which may be the Omega OF a University
founded for Negro youth, supported by the
people. and disrupted by minors and majors,
who see the mote in Towards eye so plainly
that they have forgotten the beam which
adorns their own eyes. All in all. the How
ard picture resembles a prototype OF slelgllt
of hand. which has developed into high
powered sle;ght of mind. Last Friday night,
in a meeting which was popped up by ORA.
1orv Of varied declensions. the general alurltl
association OF Howard University is said to
have resolved upon a modus operandl which
shall terminate in the dis1nissal,o OF Towards
president. a white ecclesiastic of excellent
training and splendid pulpit address, but pro-
badly lily fitted to head up a great educational
institution such as Howard has been and seeks
to be
1t is said that picketing was prescribed by
the angry alumni and that another strike may
be inaugurated as a prelude to the fall term
when Negro youth are about to COME to How
ard University for. educational purposes.
Press reports have it that one orator, a gen.
1leman from Alabama (where Negroes do not
~vote-neither do they go to class A colleges)
has taken I'D the Howard collegiate situa-
ton with southern senator's" (who. as we all
know, believe that a pick, shovel or hoe. rath-
er than a pen, chisel or scapel, are the proper
tools for a Negro to work with) with the
idea of relief.
Now we do not know the merits of the
Howard cases; nor can we say yea or nay
concerning the Howard administration. Too.
whether or not good faith follows in the wake
of administration chaT1engers in a question
mark with us. But we are, for the sake of
our boy and girl, and the sakes Of other boys
and girls of the Race, who look upon Howard
as a heven of education-not a prize fighting
ring-deeply interested in what takes place on
the hilltop. We are interested in methods net
not strife; and in the public welfare, not the
whims of a few.
We beg to repeat, in solemn style, what we
have sounded before. (1) Howard Univers-
ity is an institution of quasi public welfare.
(2) Howard University is supported by the
taxpayers of America. The safeguarding of
those two units is the first duty of every in
dividual or organization. from the University
president to the most humble alumnus or STU
dent at Howard, who has onest-to-goodness
virtue in his heart. Whoever. from President
Durkee on down. becomes selfish enough to
place above those pinnacles of Negro educa-
tional fervor a method or a practice which is
conflicting with those two items, takes upon
himself a responsibility nearly as great as that
of Pontius Plate, and one from which, as the
long years to come roll by, he will never be
able to wash his hands.

TIE MISSING LINK.
y

Next to high finance, "The Missing Link
seems to be the most absorbing topic of the
great white world of today. Trying to mould
the missing link into a reality, barring evolu-
ton theories, and interpreting the works and
intentions of the Maker are forming the "a
hour work day for a galaxy of ambitious
whites who are, however fearful lest at some
time it be further reaffirmed that man is/but
clay, and like a meerschaum pipe is more
highly valued when colored.
Coming back to the missing link, however
a host of explorers are now enroute to Africa
where African psychology and physiognomy
will be z~ealously studied. DR.. Carl Jung
heads one of the mental expeditions to the
dark continent, while another expert DR..
Alonzo. Pond acting as Befoit Colleges re-
preventative heads another expedition which
will go to Algeria, Africa and there try to
find the missing link.
What disturbs Our tranquility however, is
the question: Is it the hope that the scien.
fists will find the missing link down in the
Sahara belt and thereupon promulgate rne
theory that Negroes having come from Africa
are direct descendants of the missing link, and
hence are not humans? (Since many of them
are not treated as humans). If this were to
come to pass, science would next be confronted
with the task Of finding out what per cent.
Of Negro blood in America is human and;
contra, and how much efficacy had been lost
from Anglo-Saxon blood through miscegena-
ton. 8Izs
Why the missing link should be sought in
Africa any more than in England or Russia,
Tor that matter, we cannot, religiously or 9th
erwise divine. And in the meantime, it is
reported that an injured Negro bled to death
because two white ambulance attendants, upon
reaching the scene, refused to give him aid
or to carry him to a place Where he might
have received aid. Now that wasn't very hu
man, was it? All of which reminds us that

superiority of the French should be
crushing. They have at their dis

civilization has developed. The R1f-
fans rely almost wholly on the rifle

confirm that view. There the issue
on this point is clean cut. The French
not on'v have every modern weapon,

of them. They have been carrying on
what might be called machine war
in which equipment counts for much
and the individual infantryman for
little. Like most European nations
they have tended to neglect sharp
shooting, rifle warfare.
THE Riffians have hardly any
thing but infantry. With them the
individual soldier counts for nearly
everything. Each n is bred for
fighting. They are of Berber stock.

that he could have done this if he
had not given them time to bring up
