Vashon High Team
Defeats Moran 37-17

Tuesday night at the high schoo
gymnasium, Vashon defeated Moran
37-17. Although vashon won by &c
points the GENE was fairly interest
ing. One Of those regrettable Incl
dence which so seldom occur In
basketball happened Tuesday night
One Of the Moran boys turned his
knee In such way that he was I'M
able to continue in the game. The
coach reports that the lad will be
fortunate II he ever completely re-
covers and that he will never be able
to playbasket ball again.
The second team defeated the Bur-
ton Boy Scouts by 500 score. The
Scouts were no match for the schnn,
boys as the score indicates.
Next Friday night vashon will
meet Silverdale on the home floor.
There will be two games beginning at
7:30 p. m. Come and root for the
team!
Last Friday night vasl,on was de-
feated by cambridge 2S-l7 In the

Executive Committee
Consider Problems

On Tuesday evening members of the
executive committee of the Com
mercial Club held the regular Janu-
airy meeting ut the Sweet Shop at
Vashon. After a delicious dinner the
routine business was presented for the
consideration of the committee,
G. L. Garner gave resume of the
work of the road committee, In sub
stance that which has appeared in an
earlier issue Of this paper. He called
upon c. M. Rhulen, road supervisor,
to tell of the work being done by the
county at the present time.
Reports were given by other stand
ing committees. With the report of
Maurice Dunsford, chairman of the
entertainment committee there was a
discussion Of the adviseability of CIV
ing a charity ball in place of the an
rual banquet. 1t was finally decided,
however, to hold the banquet in
March. Conditions Just now do not
seem to necessitate raising funds for
the relief of those in need.
Ira Thompson, for the educational
committee, spoke on the subject of
consolidation Of the Island schools.
He urged the necessity of careful
selection Of directors for the March
school election, since every district on
the Island is so seriously handicapped
by shortage of funds, due to unpaid
taxes. The Island schools, so Mr..
Thompson reported, are in the same
financial straits as many other schools
all over the state and nation. So
acute is the situation that there is a
possibility that the faculty of the
local high school may have to be cut.
The board Of directors are at their
wits end to solve the problem without
involving the Island in too great an
indebtedness and the resultant heavy
interest which unpaid warrants draw.
1t is truly serious condition in the
economic situation.
Plans are under way for an all Is
land meeting Of the Commercial Club
within the next month.
A special appeal was made by Secre-
tary Martin for all members to pay
their dues for 1892. The organization
is in need Of funds, and the payment
of dues is the only source of income
at the present time. This appeal re-
suited in the payment of dues by all
present.
DR.. Bennett reported that he had
been working on a ferry schedule to
propose to the Kitsap County Trans
portation Company that would mean
an additional evening trip, with the
last ferry leaving Fauntleroy at 1890.
Representatives of the ferry company
will be invited to attend the next
meeting of the club and opportunity
given for general discussion.
In keeping with the policy adopted
at the beginning of the club year the
president and executive committee are
combining their efforts to our prob
lens here at home, rather than max
ing any great effort at drawing the
of the outside world tn tho
Island. The program for the year is
unusually fine and constructive, and
from all indications will see great &C
complishments.

Mrs. Harriet Bird all Of Seattle. Mrs,
Mason gave very interesting talk on
the Odd Fellows home in Walla
Walla.
After the lodge work. for the eve
ming was completed all present re-
paired to the banquet hall, where
they found long tables, tastefully
decorated with chrysanthemums
awaiting them. Here they enjoyed
delicious salad, cake and coffee, and
n number of excellent speeches and
the exchange of good fellowship which
is always feature of the meetings OF
these two fraternal groups. w. D.
Garvin officiated in the capacity OF
POSTMASTER
The installing officers; the program
committee with G. G. Soike and Mrs
Grayce Therkelsen, chairman; and
the refreshment committee with Mr.
F. M. Sherman and Mrs. Eta Leslie
chairnen deserve much credit for
such successful evening.

Only Family Men
Get Work On Road

With $4,000 available for work on
the Burton-T allequah road about AZ
men are already at work. A list Of
about so more will be put to work II
possible. All Of these men have
families. single men not being con-
sidered. The men work in nine day
shifts. This work is proving a real
relief measure for many Of the men
who have had no steady work for
months There Is a daily pay roll Of
SITS. This work was pushed, and the
money appropriated for this road In
the 1881 budget was made available
through the cooperation Of Commits
sioner Brinton and Supervisor Wiltse,
working in conjunction with the road
committee Of the Commercial Club,
of which G. l.. Garner Is chairman.
Had few days more elapsed 1t would
have reverted to the generM funds.
All Of the work of clearing for the
new road Is being done by local men,
with the exception Of the operators
of the machines brought over from
the mainland for this work.
The state work on the road will
probably begin early in February,
when the county work will end.
Whether the contractors employ local
men is as yet merely conjecture, al
though it was previously reported that
one Of the conditions of the contract
would be that local men should be
employed las far as possible"
The county commissioners have de-
signed as arterial highways the road
from Vashon Heights to Dockton and
from Burton to Tallequah. This road
will be properly marked In the next
few months. The question of reduce
ing the blind corner hazards will also
be considered in the very near future.

THE OBSERVER
FRED G. THOMAS

Yates one to cry out aloud for VEN
geance; the appalling ignorance into
which Negroes In that section are
forced. and the inhumanity of Chris
tian toward Christian seems impos-
sible. But these things are facts. II
they were not, the book would have
been suppressed as malicious propa-
ganda. And it urges me to make,
with your permission, an appeal to
you and your readers to join me In
an effort to end conditions rivaling
those of the Spanish 1nquisition.
This appeal is Of an unusual ma
ture, l am aware that atheists, ag-
nostics and irreligious persons will
scott at the suggestion. But, with
conditions as they are (our financial
helplessness), feel that this appeal
and suggestion is most sane. AS we
form only tenth part of Americas
entire population, and as we cannot
make our demands with dollars in
politics, any help from that source
is too remote. And, as our leaders
CD are too busy pleasing white folks,
the only thing to expect from them
is what we have already received
nothing. And now, since "the prayers
of the righteous availeth much"
appeal to Negro Christians every
where, who know within themselves
that there is righteous God and that
He will answer prayer, to pray.
My plan Is simple: a moment
day devoted to sincere prayer will
suffice for the individual exhortant.
But suggest that all of our churches
all over the country and every de-
nomination, under honest ministerial
leadership, set aside Sunday for the
purpose of asking God-with faith
to deliver our people from the hor-
rible conditions found in southern
peonage farms, prison farms and out
of-the-way small townships.

OF this city has probably contributed
many thousands of dollars to this
worthy purpose. The primary pur-
pose OF the organization is to dis
seminate knowledge concerning tu-
berculosis, and to finance clinics, doc
tors, nurses, and executives with their
attendant stenographers and en-
ployees.
Unfortunately this association has
not been able to place Negro in any
position that draws a salary. We
have reputable physicians, graduate
nurses, efficient stenographers. It is
true that Negroes are the recipients
of the educational work on tubercu-
losis, but it would be only fair that
they get some of the employment
that is incident to the existence of the
organization.
Everything today is commercial
lied. Nobody seems to be willing to
give time without pay. Every
charitable organization makes more
Jobs and more salaries. Executives get
salaries usually commensurate with
those Of Industrial workers in execu-
tive positions. If charity really per-
vaded the systems Of these execu-
tives, they would take only very
small salary. just enough to allow
them an average living. think they
would emulate Christ If they were
really imbued with that spirit of help
ing the unfortunate. But the high
salaries dispute IN part at least, the

A SERIOUS CONDITION.

We folks up here In this great
northwest, enjoying all the pleasures
and benefit of our splendid citizen
ship, little realize what it means to
be compelled to live in conditions and
environments that some of our people
are forced to endure. Namely, the
unspeakable oppression of the peonage
and chain-gang savagery of certain
parts of the south. read in the No
vember issue of the Crisis, the first
paragraph "As the Grow Flies" this
highly important bit of news. 1t says :.

Japan. having read Spirak's Georgia
Niger :, will refuse to recognize the
United States Government until the
chain-gang slavery is abolished under
the supervision of the League of Ma

this country, No wonder the govern
ment at Washington has appointed a
committee to investigate peonage and
prison conditions. And now a Mr..
Moxley Waldo Willis, Sr., has writ.

aid of our Christian group to invoke
divine assistance to the end that this
accursed evil may be blotted out. 1

DEMOCRATIC WORKERS
HAVE HIGH HOPES

washington, Nov-(By the Asso-
eiatsd Negro Press)-The FIVE Negro
Democrats who were the most conspic-
hous in the Presidential campaign
will be equally as prominent during
the Roosevelt Administration. They
are Julian d. Rainey Of Boston; Rob
ert L. Vann Of Pittsburgh; DR.. Joseph
L. johnson of Columbus; William H.
Thompkins of Kansas City-who were
regional directors, and Lester A. Wal
ton of New York, who was director of
publicity.
Not only is 1t expected that the five
will receive outstanding appointments,
having the ear Of Democratic Party
leaders, but 1t is thought that they
will have much to do with the shap-
ing of Negro policies.
Bisop Reverdy G. Ransom, who
served as head of the National Co1ored
Citizens Roosevelt Committee, will be
persona grata with the incoming adj
ministration, also Negro state leaders,
such as DR.. W. G. Alexander of New
Jersey; Joseph l.. Mc1emore of Mis-
souri,; Harold E. Bledsoe of Michigan;
Henry A. Fleming of Indiana; Thomas

Chauffers Licenses
Should Be Renewed
Now TOSave Expense
cHAuFFEuRs RENEW LICENSES
IN NOVEMBER.

Chauffeurs expecting to renew their
licenses will do we'll to remember that
by making application to the secre-
tary of state during the month of No.
vember, they may be spared the in
convenience and extra expense of TAX
ing an examination. The following
provision of state law governs:
"All chauffeurs' licenses issued here
under shall expire at midnight on De-
cember 81 of the year for which it is
issued, but may be renewed without
examination upon such evidence as
shall satisfy the secretary of state
that the licensee is qualified to con-
tinue as a chauffeur, but no renewal
of license issued before November
l, in any year shall be granted un.
less application for such renewal is
made during the month of November
of the year for which the license was
issued" Section 4, Chapter 433, Laws
1920.
This means that application for re-
newal must be made before Decem-
Der 1. There is no provision in the
law for extending the time for re-
newal without examination. If the ap-
plication for renewal is not mailed to
Mike Holm, Secretary of State, St.
Paul, Minnesota, before that date, he
is not permitted to issue chauffeurs'
licenses for the coming year except
upon a regular examination.
Mr.. Holm reports that a very large
portion of the chauffeurs Of the state
have not sent in their applications yet
Application blanks were sent out from
the secretary of states office during
the last week in October to every
chauffeur in the state addressed to
each at the last known address.
MANY of these blanks have been
returned to the office unclaimed" says
Mr.. Holm, evidently because those
particular chauffeurs have changed
their addresses without reporting the
change to this office. However, if
the chauffeur will address letter to
this department at once. we shall be
glad to forward the necessary blanks. .
