literature the Negro is taught
what he is not and cannot become,
what he should do and cannot hope
to do. The same system which in
spires one element of the popula-
ton to climb to higher levels
crushes in the other the spirit of
enterprise.
"Some of the trouble lies also
in the fact that no special thought
is given to the education of the
Negro except so to direct it that
whatever he learns to do may not
be prejudicial to the interests of
those who are not anxious to have
him rise :"

JUDGE DAVIS TURN

UOONA LA Az / ~ AAN
The strange turn of Judge Lee
Parsons Davis in White Plains, N.
Y. Supreme Court, by which he
would force Mr.. and Mrs. Joshua
Cockburn to give up their $4,000
English Manor House which was
built in what is supposed to be an
exclusive" section of the city,
should be thoroughly considered.
This judge says in effect that the
requirement of money, and of So
cial position as result of money
and right living, makes no differ
ence when one is colored-that
nothing short of turning white will
make it possible for one to live in
certain sections of the State of
New York.
If Judge Davis has the law on
his side, it is certainly an amaz-
ing situation. Negroes of New
York State, where there are no
laws against inter-marriage, have
rested in the false security that
only the lack of money could keep
them out of certain privileged
places. They can even live at the
Hotel Pennsylvania, the Hotel
Commodore, and other swank no.

they cannot buy land and erect a
beautiful home if a group of snob-
bish whites get together and agree
to keep out all colored persons
except servants"
Judge Davis, who was Alice
Rhinelander's lawyer, knows a lot
about the color question. Perhaps
about the color .question-about
the intimate details, since he had
Alice strip before a jury to show
that her body was dusky and that
she did not deceive Kip-that he
felt obliged to discuss the color
question in such detail and to be
so dogmatic in his decision. The
judge averred: '"There can be no
doubt that the defendant is partly
'colored'. She considers herself an
octoroon; that is, person having
one-eighth Negro blood"
Judge Davis little suspects how
many Negroes" he is driving into
his own Exclusive" group by this
declaration, who have more than
one-eighth Negro blood, but who,
to all appearances, have less. Nor
can any one blame them. If
Judge Davis wants to take the re-
sponsibility Of drawing the line
Of demarcation on octoroons and
whites, he is welcome; but our
view is that he is taking on more
than he can manage, and that
Public Policy, which he claims
she is upholding, will suffer more
from his construction of it's mean

suffer. For those Negroes who

WHY NOT A VISIT TO BRISTOL BAY,
 TOO?

Again the Navy steams north. Word comes that five cruisers of the U & Battle Fleet will head for Alaskan waters next month, going to the Vest ward and others to Southeast Alaska ports only Dropping anchor in Juneau and Aux Bay will be the Northampton the Chicago and the Salt Lake City Touching other Alaska ports will be Pehsacola and the Louisville It is probable that they will be accom- panied by a few destroyers at least some of the latter will be in the north during the summer as has been the practice for years
 Alaska always is glad to see Navy prows headed this way Not only because we enjoy its visits but be- cause we feel that in the future years the Navy will become larger permanent part of Alaska than it is The time is not far distant when naval head quarters will be established in the Territory as the Pacific Coast defense program reaches its ultimate goal Today the Navy is more conversant with Alas kan waters than is generally admitted It has sounded and chartered a large part of the waterways of the north far out into the Aleutans. When the time arrives that money will be available for the establish of naval bases in Alaska Navy men will be ready to go ahead. And each year they come north they add to that store of knowledge about Alaska and its future defenses Thus we welcome their visits for in addition to being a pleasurable occasion, know that they coming north with purpose-gaining further knowledge adequate defense of the Pacific and consequently Alaska.
 The Navy's visit inspired one Alaskan to make this suggestion as he read the accounts o Japanese invasion of the Bristol Bay area:
 Why suggested he wouldn't it be a good scheme to have the Navy steam up off the Aeutians and Bristol Bay for battle maneuvers of these summers? The psychological effect on foreign in- vaders might prove excellent protection for Alaskan fishing waters
 And why not indeed? When Mussoni wanted to make the right kind of impression in the Med iterranean he troted out his fighting forces and put quite a show while other countries looked on. Its a quaint old war-ke custom that seems to promote a sort of peace

| A0-N NN-No-N--- In it's new fair-labor standards bill the admins tration sets abolish child labor outlaw sweat shops. fix minimum wages and maximum hours and generally do by statute what the late MIRA tried to do by codes in fixing decent working conditions in interstate industry.
 ? To accomplish these simple and human ends it has sent to Congress measure dank with tangle- wood of than 10000 words of obscure and legal istc phraseology The Black Connery bill it stands may be a masterpiece of the awsmths art but it strikes us as an open invitation to lawsuits evasions and other attempts to defeat its high purposes The first thing Congress should do is to simplify it.
 Having said this, we hail the Back-Connery bill as the next great American adventure in human sal wage and social reconstruction
 At the bottom of the social structure there exists a great unredeened mass of our people With living standards low to menace the nations economic health Brookings Institution found that in pros porous 1929 nearly 60O00OO American families or 21 percent of the total had incomes under 000 while l2 0OO000, 42 percent, had incomes under Sl50O year Estimates of an adequate health-and- -decency standard for five-member city family ran from Sl 800 to S2,500 annually.
 Which that this rich country is keeping a race of meager shabby city and rural slum dweers who easy prey to disease crime and radicalsm and who in good and bad times are heavy drain upon our taxes and phanthropes. It also means starved market for food clothing and comfort and luxury goods that our industrial plant is ably geared to furnish.
 Is a Federal law providing for minimum wages and maximum hours the answer to this condition? Probably We know that experiments up to now have not supplied the answer. With the exception of new Oklahoma act the State minimum wage laws so far enacted apply only to women and children and there are only twenty-four such statutes. Some of the States and regions refuse to consider such laws and engage in bitter competitions for cheap labor. The organza ons of labor unions, while spreading rapidly may not reach into the oppressed industries for years if at all And appeals to employers to pay higher wages have been futile because of the chselng minority that is out for all profits the traffic will bear
 The new measure is we believe, right in principle, and if wisely administered it may go far toward rais ing the standards of ower-bracket workers.
 Like its il-starred predecessor, MIRA, this splen- did project be wrecked by ambition To suc- ceed it should shun both party politics and bureau- cratic arrogance It should avoid too much of the punitive and encourage the reasonable approach It's labor standards board should move into the oppressed industries by one, arming itself with exact know ledge as goes after the of the English royal commissions, lest it cause more damage than good. It must keep itself flexible, the bill intends 1t should remembering that industry is delicate mechanism which cannot be mended with hatchets and crowbars.

MAYBE IT'S TOO BIG A DOSE

Maybe it's the heat weather otherwise, but apparently the United States Senate is rising to in dignant heights Yesterday the Judiciary committee not only recommended that the Presidents court form plan be turned down but it did so in what re- porters referred to as "bisterng" language. That, too is apropos of heat
 Ten of 18 members on the committee have decided the plan is dangerous" In fact they used several other words including futile, needless and the old standby the representatives of free people" The other eight members of the committee also "repre- sentatives of free people, seemed to find nc danger" in the proposal to speed up the court pro- cedure.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE le, 1887

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16, 1887 Mingled good and ill may be ex- pected through the hours of this day, according to aStrology. The morning may be time of encour- agement through important news from industrial centers.
 This is an suspicious day for sign ing legal documents, however doubt ful they may seem. There should be fair luck for many theatrical folk.
 Letters received under this direc- tion of the stars may brslg offers of employment, or other oppor- tunities.
 Labor today is not well directed. Unrest and discomfort will continue to be fomented, but there may be strong forces at work to stabilize industry.
 While this configuration prevails much secrecy regarding public policies may be maintained by gov ernment heads The public will have to resort to conjecture on in ternational affairs.
 Differences of opinion may be expressed in small as well as large groups at this time when there may be many controversies among men of positive ideas. The sway also affects domestic relations un- fortunately.
 Espionage now will be widely dis cussed in the United States where troubles affecting workers will be fomented by foreign agents and their employees.
 Fires are to be of unusual peril this month. Campers should be es- pecially cautious. In cities explos- ions and conflagrations started by incendiaries may cause loss of life.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of ad- vancement, socially and financially. New friendships are forecast.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be fond of detail, exact in thought and able to develop natural talents with success.

CRISFIELD ASSOCIATION TO
BUILD GRAND STAND

The Crisfield High School Parent
Teacher Association has voted to erect
a grandstand on the school grounds.
The structure is to be located directly
behind the home plate, and will be
designed to accommodates patrons to
high school baseball as well as soft
ball games that are to be played on
the school diamond again this season.
Sponsors of the softball games have
stated that they will erect bleachers
along the third-base line. Together
with the proposed grandstand and the
bleachers along the first-base line, ev-
cry one attending baseball and softball
games hereafter should have little or
no trouble in finding seating accom-
modations.
The bleachers to be erected this
year are to be of the portable type
and will not form a solid line, but will
be designed so as.to allow ingress and
egress about the diamond.

CHILDREN POISONED BY
PAINT ON FURNITURE

At least twenty-five children have
died and thirty-five others have been
ill from lead poisoning in Baltimore
in the last three years, according to
the April issue of Health News, month
ly publication of the Health Depart
ment.
Virtually all of the poison cases re-
suited from the chewing of paint from
cribs, high chairs and woodwork paint
ed with a lead-containing pigment.
In every instance the furniture in
volved had been reprinted in the home.
New cribs and other children's fur
niture are seldom painted with lead
containing material, it was pointed
out. Most of the victims of the poi
soning were in the teething age.
In discussing the poison cases, the
Health News said in part:
LEAD poisoning is rarely thought of
