U. S. S. CRUISER DETROIT
 VISITS PORTLAND CANAL

On the morning of July Is, the U. S. S. cruiser Detroit, steamed up Portland Canal into Canadian wa ters off Hyder, says Sewart News. Her guns opened with a national salute of 21 guns, the first ever heard in the Canal. which was re- piled to in characteristic northern fashion with 21 charges of dynamite, timed to fire at the proper inter- vals.
 Carrying an armament of ten 6-inch guns, four 9-ineh anti-air- craft guns and two torpedo tubes and equipped with mines, with a complement of 450 officers and men, the Detroit is designed for scouting, convoy and work where speed is more essential than heavy hitting power. The ship remained in port throughout the international cele- bration at Stewart.

MISPLACED ADJECTIvEs

A folder advertising the Seattle University Commercial Club Alaska excursion said in listing the delights of the trip: Approximately nine days, 2,35O miles of delightful voyag- ing on placid inland seas, Seattle to Skagway, with frequent visits to quaint and interesting cities in cluding Ketchikan Petersburg, Ju- neau and a 350-mile side-trip to picturesque and romantic Sitka."
 The copy writer, or some one, misplaced a few adjectives. Ket- chikan, Petersburg and Juneau may be quaint but Wrangell diselaims the description and prefers plain, unadorned interesting" Just why Sitka is accorded all the romance is rather difficult to understand. If Sitka has any more romance floating around than Wrangell, she is travel ing at a rather speedy gait for a small town.

IF EDITOR TOLD THE TRUTH

The Ringing Eagle has been severely critisized lately for not tell ing the truth about the recent oc- currences in Ringing, D. K. Sprad- ling, editor, wrote in a first-page editorial June 25. He explained why he did not give the whole truth, by quoting an Indiana news paper whose editor had decided to print all the facts. The Indiana man wrote a local news item as follows:
 John Benin, the laziest merchant in town, made a trip to Beeville on Monday.
 "John Coyle, our grocery man, is doing a poor business. His store is dirty and musty How could he ex- pect to do any business?
 "John Doe, the cold-blooded viii lage banker, suffered sun stroke while cutting weeds the other day No one visited him while he was in bed.
 'Dave Conkey died at his home here Tuesday. The doctor pro nounced it heart failure, but home brew killed him.

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
 On behalf of the crew of the tug boat S. H. Finch which was in port here Sunday night and Monday I wish to tell you that the crew are unique as they do not call their cook Dirty" Instead they speak to him and of him, most respectfully as Greasy"
 Greasy is a Mississippi River cook and this is his first trip north. When the tug was coming through Seymour Narrows Greasy distin- guished himself by saying, Look at the rifles. There must be sand bars here" Sailormen of this sec tion will appreciate that.
 On Monday evening Greasy pre- pared a real banquet when the boss invited aboard the tug few representatives of the youth and beauty of Wrangell to dinner party He served root beer in so many de- lightful ways that the guests were wild about him.
 Yours very truly

FIGHT FOR PARKING
RELIEF Is PLANNED
Denial of Plea for Changes on Con
nectlcut Avenue Between K
and S Attacked.

Denial by the District Commission
erS OF a petition by merchants and resi-
dents OF Connecticut avenue between K
and S streets asking for relief of the
parking situation in that area was at
tackled today by Howard P. Dixie, a
business man of 1910 Connecticut ave
nue., IN letter to William A. Van
Duzer' tra1nc director, and Washington
newspapers.
Declaring that, by meeting the re-
quests of the petitioners lin mart " the
authorities have rendered conditions
worse along certain portions of the
section in question, Dixie asserted he
stands ready to take the matter be-
fore the courts or Congress ito pro-
tect our rights" and is asking for
pledges to defray costs of legal pro-
CeedingS.
The petition Of the merchants and
residents, according to Dixie, sought a.
one-hour parking limit on Connecticut
avenue between K and S streets. and
abolition In that zone of the mo park
ing" regulations between street car
loading platforms and curbs. Since the
drafting OF the petition, Dixie declares.
a one-hour parking limit was fixed on
Connecticut avenue south of Dupont
Circle but this action, he saws. While
commendable in itself, has rendered
conditions north of the circle worse. 1t
also has had the aggravating feature OF
limiting the parking privileges of neigh
boring non-buslneSS sections, he added
Okle. IN his letter, also attacks the
opinion of the Traffic Advisory Council
that q serious traffic hazard is created
where automobiles are permitted to
park between loading platforms and
el1bs. -..-..-..'.......0

USE VOTE, BARROW
ADVISES COQORED
Ballot Can Control Election
for President, He Tells
Conference Here.

The most effective weapon the COL
ored man can use for the benefit of his
people is the ballot, Clarence barrow
OF Chicago told group of colored
leaders and an audience Of 1900 people
assembled for the closing session of
the NonPartisan Conference in the
John Wesley Church last night.
barrow urged the colored man to be
independent in politics and to use his
vote IN such fashion as to get what
he may desire out of both political par
ties. If used discreetly and with in
tell1gence, the noted criminal attorney
pointed out, the colored man could
hold the balance of power in the coun-
try during a presidential election. He
declared the Republican party couldn't
hope to carry Illinois. Ohio, Indiana,
Missouri and four other MidWestern
and border States without the assist
ance OF the colored voter.
Says Debt to G. o. p. Is Paid.
Admitting that the race owed a debt
OF gratitude to the Republican party,
Darrow said so years of continued vot-
ing should have settled that and the
colored man should receive a receipt.
Paid in full"
You will receive nothing from a
party" Darrow said, "if they can count
your vote as cast before the election
year after year The way to deal with
the politician is to keep him guessing.
Those Democrats down South don't
want you to vote because they know
that you will vote against them. My
advice to you is to be independent in
politics. If I were in your place I
would vote for men like Norris of Ne
braska, or Senator Bob La Toilette and
other Progressives of the Senate, who
nave done great services to the coun-
try"
Darrow said the colored race is be-
ginning to assert its power more and
more and that no doubt in time its
cause would win. He pointed to the
stage and music as arts in which the
colored person already excelled. In
art he also referred to Lawrence Dun
bar, the poet, and Booker It. Washing
ton, famous educator.

meeting represented only the beginning

lief that even in the matter of dis
reimbursement there is a quickening of
the conscience toward the colored mans
cause even in the States where he has
no vote. Persistent and indefatigable
petition, in such areas, through long
drawn-out non-violent plan of public
action, he believed, would prove eff
fective.
