NEGROES ON THE ISLAND OF
RHODE ISLAND

published and Distributed by the
author, Charles A. Battle. 70 William
Street, Newport, R. ID
This little pamphlet is interesting
because of the vast amount of histori-
cal information and reference that is
given on the early Negroes of Rhode
Island.
The author takes US back to the
sixteenth century and describes. by
dates, places and names, the introduc-
ton of slavery into the original colony
and the subsequent steps taken to
abolish it.
An insight. not usually found in
histories, is given Of the part played
by Negroes in the Revolutionary War
and many pertinent details are given
on the activities of black soldiers, pa
triots and civilians.
The early attempts to educate the
Negroes in Rhode Island are por-
trayed in a manner that adds consid-
cradle romance to the efforts of our
early pioneers who struggled under
extreme difficulties.
As the Negro gradually secured an
education, schools and churches came
into being and the part that the church
has played in the lives of our people
is given in detailed chronological or
der over a period of one hundred
years. There are also many sketches
on the lives Of other successful Ne
groes who have reflected creditably.

Sentimental Slobberings

(The Literary Service Bureau)
Affection is commendable in both
the objective and subjective phases.
It is inspiring and encouraging, com
forting and heartening. But. ever
in regard to this very beneficial ele-
ment exaggeration and excess are
sickening and Improbable.
The woman who will sit on her
husbands lap, in public, and. in the
presence of others constantly kiss and
caress him or demand and receive
such from him vii surely make her
self ridiculous. This is also true of
the man who publicly kisses and car
esses hi wife, using endearing terms
and other manifestations of affection
Such manifestations of affection
belong to the finer, inner, private con-
Germs Of the man and the woman, and
public displays, as often seen. are
foolish and ~nauseating. Such conduct
gives evidence of a maudlin dispos-
ition or Of an attempt to deceive the
public. But, for the most part. peo-
pie of any community are largely
cognizant of the real attitude of a
man and his wife toward each other.
and cannot be deceived by this "out-
side show" Then it is generally
known that the married people who
are such gushers in public are not so
kind and confectionery" in private,
as an old man used to say.

NUVeIHDef I, 1857
Mr.. c. c. Galloway,
Managing Editor of the Omaha Guide,
2418-20 Grant Street,
Omaha, Nebraska.
My dear Mr.. Galloway:
received your letter a few days ago asking me nv
opinion as to your pro-rata of employment in the schools
of Omaha.
Noting the percentage given in your letter the sit
uation seems to me a serious one.
It is unfair and unjust to the Colored TAXPAYERS
OF Omaha, to send their children through the schools to
the opportunity.
Your race is a part of the t~axpaying citizens of
Omaha and there is no reason you shouldn't have yorr
pro-rata of employment.
| do hope through the contacts you are making. a
fair consideration will be given to the Colored Girls and
Boys of Omaha and you will soon have teachers in the
schools.
You can depend upon my hearty cooperation.
Yours for Success,
Lester Palmer,
Municipal Judge, Omaha.

economic existence we need race representation in every
public offic in this country. We have three race candi-

you going to do about it? Make your vote count at the

private person still remains, said Mr.
Dillon adding that the larger private
corporations to which his firm has
loaned money are solvent, and that
wherever there is any difficulty in meet
ing their foreign obligations it is a
question of transfer; that is, their abil-
ity to get dollars rather than their
solvency.
At the last dividend meeting of West
inghouSe Electric Co. 1t was intimated
rather vaguely that unless there was a
turn for the better in the way of busi-
ness disbursements to stockholders
might have to cease, temporarily at
least.
Bookings early in December showed
some gain, but orders since the middle
OF the month have slumped, accord
ing to reports.
Declaration Of a dividend at yester-
DAYS meeting came, despite the reduc-
tlon. as pleasant surprise, and may
be interpreted to mean that the West
lnghouse management is viewing the
future with q certain degree OF op-
timism.
Short-Term Credits.
German short-term credits, of which
ABOUT $500, 900 are estimated to be
held In the United States, probably will
be extended for another year at the
expiration of the former Stillhaltung
(Stand St1ll) agreement, February 29,
The original plan to fund them into
long-term loan, to be repaid in in
Stallments over a period of years, ap-
pears to have been dropped. The aban-
comment is due to necessity rather than
choice. In the meantime interest is
being paid promptly and punctually,
and If reasonably satisfactory basis
is reached in regard to the reparations
problem there should be no difficulty in
repaying all outstanding credits.
The advance in German issues regis
tered in recent sessions is probably in
anticipation of pending favorable de-
Velopments. These may include a post
ponement of reparations payments for
two or more years, extension of short
term credits, with an agreement on the
part OF Germany to liquidate them while
the reparations moratorium is in force;
reduction of military expenditures by
Europe, and concessions by the United
States in connection with interallied
debts.
The steadily mounting deficits of the
French railways is not to be covered
by means of an increase in freight
rates, according to authentic reports
emanating from Paris. 1t is expected
that the government will authorize the
roads to issue bonds up to 3,11O,OOO, 900
francs, or about 25000,000. 1t will
be recalled that, according to an agree
ment between the French carriers and
the government, railroad issues consti-
tute to a certain extent obligations of
the French government.
