RECALLS COURAGE

Mary Terrell Found Wife of
Warwick Interested in
Negro Problem.
By MARY CHURCH TERRELL.


When the Countess OF Warwick
passed away last Tuesday on her
estate at Easton Lodge. Dunmow Essex,
not many miles from London, Eng
land lost an interesting. forceful and
original personality. She was cour-
ageous, she used her brain, thought
for herself and dared to do what she
considered worth while and right.
1t is a great temptation to start
right off talking rapturously about her
beauty. For she was noted as beauty
for many years. And any one who
writes about the Countess of Warwick
would naturally be expected to refer
to the fact that she was one of
Edward Wis closest friends. But
many who know that she was a reign
ing queen in England's highest social
circles do not know that she used
much of her time and strength and
social prestige for the betterment of
the conditions of those less fortunately
than herself. 1t is because
she did this that it was my good
fortune to meet her and retain her
friendship.
The countess and I We're invited to
address the International Congress of
Women in Berlin. Germany, "a years
ago. The countess was invited to talk
about the English women who earn
their living at farming and 1 was
asked to deliver two addresses the same
day. In the morning when the
countess was to speak, l was to de-
scribe the conditions under which
colored domestics in the United States
work. and in the evening, at the
meeting in the Philharmonic, I was
to talk about the progress and problems
of colored women. But the countess

Debtors Versus Owners
Cincinnati Enuuirep

Tn a very thoughtful and scholarly report Just published, the Twentieth Century Fund has surveyed the problem of debt in the United States and found much to criticize The most important feature or the report is the recommendation that direct owner shin should replace debt financing to large degree In other words there are too many bondholdefs anu not enough stockholders in the American economy
 The report emphasizes the lnadequacy ot the dollar or any monetary unit as measure oi Vaiue. points out the serious monetary crslS Whch always comes with depression when desperate attempt IS made to collect and pay debts. large part of our total indebtedness is necessary the committee recog nzes Few homes could be bought except through mortgages Cash values of insurance policies repre- sent necessary debts. Cities must issue bonds Tor major improvements The main body of bank credit is short-term debt and is essential to our business system.
 Yet in corporate business the tendency to issue bonds rather than stock has gone much too far, and has introduced dangerous element of rigidity into our economic system, the report finds. Going fur ther it points out several ways Of correcting this For one thing the government should not discriminate against stockholders by taxing their income twice and that of bondhoders only once as being done today Another remedy would be to permit modest portfolios of firs-grade equity shares to insurance companies, as safer than many bonds and more responsive to changes in the value of money Likewise gradual abolition of tax-eXempt public bonds would provide partial remedy
 There is much to think about in this report dealing 1t does with an unexcitng but very lm- portant question of ong-range financial policy. By coming grips with this underlying rigdity Ill our business system hope to temper the rigors of "a future economic depression

J. 5. TO GUARD
 BRIT. RULERS
 DURING VISIT
Extra Precautions Will Be Taken for Safety of
 King, Queen

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Precau- tions equaling those surrounding President Roosevelt on travels will be invoked for the safety of British King George and Queen Elizabeth on their visit to the United States next summer, the secret service indi- cates.
 Every foot of railroad right-of- way over which the royal train travels from Canada to Washing ton will be inspected and every switch and crossing guarded to pre- vent mishap to the Presidents sov- ereign guests, it was learned.
 In event the king and queen cross the Atlantic on the British battle cruiser Repulse, as London reports said they may, navy officers believed the President might as- sign an escort of United States war ships to meet the Repulse far at sea and attend it to Quebec.
 Army officers expected heavy de- tails of troops will be stationed at the border point where the couple will cross from Canada to the Unit ed States to give their majesties the twenty salute accorded i royalty. 1 Formal announcement by the king of his intention to be the first British sovereing ever to visit 3 i former British colony provoked the capitals social campaigners to be- gin laying their strategy for invita- tions to functions in the sovereign's honor here Royalties presence is expected to make the functions the most dazzling Washington has evel 1 seen.
 Kings, queens and princes oi royal blood have visited here occa- sionally in the past, but never has a royal couple come together. The l last sovereign to come here, Queer l Marie of Rumania, was accom- panied by a son and daughter, but the king remained in Bucharest

FRIDAY DECEMBER 2. 1aa8

FRIDAY, DECEMBER Z, 1858
 Astrologers read this as decep- tive day in which adverse planetary aspects dominate. Women should be especially cautious in giving their friendship or confidence.
 This is the month in which Saturn the reaper brings retribution for misdeeds. As the year closes it is well to make amends for unjust judgments and unfair business deals.
 The sign warning of intrigue, se- cret plots and hostile plans affect ing both individuals and nations continues to presage trouble.
 Young men should be careful in their dealings with girls who may be deceitful, untrustworthy, mercen- ary and tickle, while this configura- ton prevails.
 The stars seem to favor persons who have money and influence. High political officers may tend to ignore the claims of supporters.
 It is well not to launch any new project at this time when there may be a tendency to misleading op- timism. Routine affairs are well di- rected
 Labor continues under omens that foreshadow a long struggle for cer- tain objectives, but shorter hours of work appear to be indicated
 The Far East has a forecast of disaster which will bring additional suffering to China and Japan. Am ericans will aid in wholesale relief.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of some anxi- ety but general prosperity Inheri- tances or insurance will aid many.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be highstrung, energetic and ambitious. Mutations of fortune attend the lives of certain of these subjects of Sagittarius.

 Fro,, the foregoing it is obvious that the com nittee has done this it has approached the labor problem in Juneau from the sensible and sane view point of Juneau problem. It isn't trying to seUCle the national labor troubles It is deahng With the local situation-the situation with which, as gooo citzens of this community we are all primarily con- cerued The situation with which we must continue to be primarily concerned if we are to avoid chaoS' and if is our firm conviction that there isn't person in this community who actually wants strlie ana unrest.
 The proposition presented by the committee Is mt offered as complete solution to the labor prob lem It is offered as a temporary means of getting Ioca industry back into activity. II agreed to TOT sixty days it may prove foundation on which per- manent peace may be established. It may not put certainly in the best interests of this community It is worth trial The proposal as this is written IS before the various nious their decision It is our helief that the AFI and CIO members are Just as fair-minded and just as eager to reach an intelligent agreement as the members of the committee, thus II such temporary accord this can be reached a start will have been made toward getting ulhgs going again in this community.
 
 And in discussing the local labor situation, 1t cannot be overlooked that employees of the Alaska Iuneau mine are going to vote tomorrow, under the provisons of the Wagner Labor Act, on which laDor organization they prefer to have represent them as the bargaining agency. It IS purely maIVer lor employees of the mine to determine and 1t would De well for some of us to remember it. Naturally, we all have common interest in the operation of the mine which furnishes the life blood of this commun- itv and on that basis alone The Empire 1eeS free to uree all the employees of the mine to vote so that definite decision can be reached and that the opera lions of the mining company can go along normally in this community Tn view of the existing law, we further feel free to express the hope that the mners will cast their ballots for either the C1O or the AFL the two organized groups which the Labor Board can recognize The Board, judging from previous oe- cisions cannot recognize the unorganized thus neu- tra ballots will have bearing in determining the selection of bargaining agency. If previous de- cisions are criterion Board will recognize the or ganzed group which has the most votes thus the heeo for casting definite vote in favor of one or the other organized labor group is important

LET'S ACT FOR THE BEST INTERESTS OF JUNEAU

The present labor situation in Juneau has reached appoint where something must be done this com- munity will lapse into a condition of chaos from which it will take years to recover. The residents of Juneau regardless of their labor affiliations, must unite to act for the best interests of the community and consequently for themselves the future is going to be mighty dismal
 An excellent starting point it seems to Us, is for every person in this community whether carrying 8 card in union not, to accept the concrete and definite fact that in Juneau can't settle the tional labor dispute between the forces of the Ameri cpn Federation of Labor and the Congress for h. dlstrial Organization. We all know can't do it so why bother about it? Let's leave it to the national labor organizations and get down to and face intelligently the strictly local probem-Juneaus problem and the problem of every resident of this com munity. After all, it is this community where we earn our bread and butter which should be first and paramount interest
 Secondly, after honestly admitting can't set tie the national labor problem let's use a little God given horse sense and quit hurng the word Com munist at group and the cry "reactionary' at another Neither has anything to do With the i'm mediate problem have in Juneau It is just as silly to say that the men we know around town many of them personal friends Communists" be- cause they happen to be member of CIO organization as it is to shout reactionary at know just as well because they members of AFI organizations. We know 1t isn't so why do it? Let's get back to being just what We are-residentS of Juneau with common interest in the community and it's welfare, and the welfare of each and every one of us. If we start on that premise, get together on tual understanding and start the wheels of industry again turning in this community
 And there is a third thing must admit to get away to fair and intelligent start in solving our pfobem We might as well concede at the outset that most of have blundered We've all made and have made mistakes. Admitted, SO like n- felligent human beings let's wipe them off the slate and approach our Juneau problem with an open and fair mind In brief let's stop being stupid and stub born.
 Last Sunday at a meeting of citizens of this community, committee of five minded were could do to bring about peace and see if industry could not go along at normal pace in Juneau. This Committee has worked faithfully. It has given its time and its attention to the presentations of each Side in the dispute and has arrived at the following tonclusion:
 We feel that the present circumstances including the strike of the truck, taxi and de- ! livery drivers, justify the conclusion that the z. only by which this controversy be s peaceably settled is for committee. under the authorization of the Common Council
 unions, such common labor may be required
