loudly sounded the praises Of Mayor
Dever, Messrs. Ross C. Woodruff,
Guy Guernsey, Sheldon w. Govier,
Arthur F. Albert and William d.
Meyering, extolling his administration
as mayor and his fairness as presid-

as follows:
There is nothing depressing about
the situation" said Mr.. Dever. "Chi-
cago is going ahead. The morale in
this city is such that it would succeed
over any effort to hold it back.

Der of the British Colonial Service,
hypersentiveness and a suspicious
point of view are the chief causes Of
the racial feeling throughout the world.
The expert recently described the col
ored population Of the Bahama Is
lands, numbering some $1,000 persons,
who are the descendants Of the slaves
brought from the West Coast of At
RIGA in the palmiest days of the slave
trade In 1907 it was made illegal for
any British subject to engage in the
traffic, though it was not until August

the Bahamas. These descendants of
slaves, says the English writer, have
an attractive personality, good man
ners, and a CHEEKY disposition and if
they are lazy, that is fault for which
environment is largely responsible, and
one which even the white man does
not wholly escape in the Bahamas lati-

Shortly before o'clock Monday

William Hale Thompson and big

tudes. The half-caste, however, is
usually morose and suspicious, ever on

quently attributing to his white neigh
bors a hostile attitude that does not
exist.
The American visitor to the Ba-
hamas finds in the colored native a
neverending source Of interest and
amusement. He is polite and anxious
to oblige; he is musical in his own
inimitable way, and he is the fortunate
possessor of a sense of humor and a
philosophy Of life which carries him
smiling through the troubles of not

Alderman Louis B. Anderson who
had received more favors from the

member of the city council, was as
