ing together of any group or peo-
pie for a specific purpose of the
whole. He emphasized the essen
tials as leadership, honesty, sin
certify, and the keeping of jealousy
at a minimum. The DR.. advised
that for successful cooperation,
leadership should be selected from
intelligent, responsible leaders; the
followers should be able to recog-
nize dishonesty and avoid the lack
of confidence in ones associates.
The speaker, in reference to sew
eral types of business adventures
and enterprises and their failures
in many instances due mainly to
the lack of cooperation, asked the
question, "Are we going to build
a payroll of our own, or are we
going to always depend on others

Federal Theatre
Singers Appear
On Broadcast


The Northwest Enterprise "All-
Negro Hour" over station KEEN
each Thursday, went over the top
when they secured the Federal
Theatre Chorus under Howard
Biggs, sensational young maestro,
last night.
The rendition of spirituals and
carols under Mr.. Biggs' delicate
touch sent little electric waves
tingling up and down, as the songs
told story of the prosecutions of
a race and their hope in the Lord.
Mr.. Biggs and the chorus have a
bright future, and have been pro-
nounced by many critics as par
with Hall Johnson's singers.

Good evening, ladies and gen.

Coster's bursting through the or
binary censorship of the daily
press, attempts to secure the dis
missal of Police Chief Sears and
the elimination of the small clique

seem completely unrelated to any

ton, however, will convince the
most cynical person of the vital
Importance of who is in charge of
a city's law enforcement agencies,
of how the police powers of the
city are exercised, of whether a
police department protects the
constitutional rights of people, of
whether internally a small clique
of top officers make the whole de-
partment serve private interests
of their own, and rests appoint
ments and promotions on the ba-
sis of how well an applicant fits
into their existing scheme of
things. 1t is impossible in one
short broadcast to answer each of
these questions definitely, but it is
possible to begin an inquiry into
the progress made under the pres
ent chief and inspector.
There have been two major in
vestigations into the affairs under
the jurisdiction of Seattle's Police
Department. One was conducted
by Mr.. Lockwood, then a council
man and now on the civil service
commission of Seattle, by Mr..
Hamley, and by Mr.. Langlie, all
Cincinnatus members of the Coun-
Gil. That investigation came to
head during the months of July
and August, 1885 >.
MIR. Langlie and his colleagues
then made a series of recommen-
dations which they stated were
necessary to correct the deplor-
able conditions their investigation
had shown SO widespread. They
advocated charter amendment,
placing the Chief of Police on five
year tenure and making it impos-
sible to remove him except after
the filing of charges with the City
Council and an open trial before
that body .
