diminishing.
POLICE PROTECTION.
The Department of Public Safe
ty seems to be committed to poi
icy of developing friendly feel
ing between the police and the col
ored population. They are more
considerable than ever. Whereas
there have been a case or two
(caused by individual inefficiency)
which have caused kind of UNI
easiness on our part. We know that
the powers in authority will do all
in their power to protect US in the
enjoyment of our everyday life.
If we had small percentage of
bootleggers and other lawbreakers,
it would make the task of the po-
lice department less arduous.
THE COURTS.
The attitude of our courts has
decidedly changed during the lass
decade. We venture the opinion
that justice is just as easily OBJ
tanned by the Negro as by the
whites in Richmond Courts. The
Federal Courts here have proved
their merits more than once. AL
are convinced that not one iota
of prejudice is allowed in their
chambers.
Well, we had better stop here
for a while, and see how this takes.
It is truth, and we have learned
that truth attracts many foes and
its opponents are legion. Upon
second thought, we had better
mention one more influence we see
upon the horizon.
THE HIGH SCHOOL.
If there is a man who wishes US
well and is absolutely sincere in
his work for us it is Principal W.
w. Townsend, of Armstrong High
School. His devotion to the chill
dren under his care and his zeal
in going beyond his regular duties
in looking after the children un-
der his care should be commended.
His real worth at Armstrong is
sometimes overlooked, because of
the press of the general discussion
for colored principals. But we
should not forget that Principal
Townsend has been and is a po-
tent influence for good.

Probably the next happiest
man to Connie Mack in Phila-
delphia last evening as the
clan gathered around press
headquarters and ruminated of
the series which only a few
hours before had ended in a
triumph for the Athletics and a
practical wash-out for the Car
dinals, was Henry Pierpont Ed
wards, secretary Of the Amerl-
can League.
While Connie Mack was BEAM
ing, Henry Pierpont Edwards
was radiating, and then when
Connie would start radiating,
Henry would shift over and
start beaming. And that's the
way it was all evening long.
You see, Henry is strictly an
American Lacquer, as baseball
men go. Either you are one or
the other if you are in baseball,
and it's almost impossible to be
neutral, even if you are a for
mer player and have served
time in both outfits. You al.
ways come out of baseball with
a strong leaning to one loop or
the other.
And, being an American
Lacquer, Henry was highly
gratified by the newest achieve
ment of his organization, and
he made little bones about his
pride in the Athletics and in
the American League at the mo-
ment. Henry was taking little
credit upon himself for the Phil
adelphia win. He as much as
said he helped the AS immense
ly in their final victory in the
sixth game of the set.
"You know" spoke Henry,
"about three weeks ago, when
the Athletics were in Chicago,
Jimmy Dykes and Bing Miller
told me they only hoped the
Cardinals won the National
league pennant because they
were both sure they could eat
up any pitcher on the st. Louis
roster.
"And having confidence in
them both, I was sort Of hop
ing their hope would come
through, particularly in that
they were sure they could con-
meet with the likes of Grimes
and Hallahan and Flint Rhem
and the others.
"Then I watched the first
five games and observed how
poorly Dykes and Miller hit
against the Cardinal hurlers
in the face Of their boasts
to me out in Chicago so re-
Gently.
"Too, knowing the sixth
game was so crucial to both
teams; that the AS could

win it and win the series or
the Cards could win it and tie
UP the series, I stepped down in
the Athletic dugout before the
sixth game and gathered Bing
and Jimmy on my knee and
told them I hadn't forgotten
their self-confidence of a few
weeks back and that I ex-
pected them to come to life
md uphold the gallant escutch-
con of the dear old American
League.
"I gave those two boys a
good scolding and said they
should be ashamed of them
selves to have thrown me
down when I had been ex-
pecting so much Of them in
view of their own words such
a short time ago.
"Well sir, they looked down
right ashamed. Finally they
bristled up and said I could
start right away looking for
the fireworks and I Stolled
away admonishing them I ex-
pected to see some action i'm
mediately.
"And I saw it. Dykes hit
for 1000 for that last game
and Miller for .666 and I'm
taking a wee bit Of credit to
myself for having gone down
in the dugout and put the
issue right up to them"

you, comes by his American
League prejudices largely

ball behind the Cleveland In
dians for the better part of a
quarter of q century. When
President Ernest Barnard, a
former Cleveland owner, be-
came head of the Junior or
ganization, he did so only with
the understanding that Ed
wards would detach himself
from his life calling of news
paper writing and go to Chi
cago with him to be his right
hand, his right eye and his
right ear-as it were.
Henry is all of that and he
and the league president are
one and inseparable. They
both have the honor Of the
American League very much ut
heart and thus Henry took it
upon himself to enter the Ath-
letic dugout yesterday and have
good, heart-to-heart talk with
those reticent series hitters,
Miller and Dykes.
You all know what happened
in that sixth and final game
and none Of you can say it
wasn't Henry's curtain lecture
that inspired Miller and Dykes
to unlimber their lumber.
