UPSON MAY ENTER
 PROBATE CONTEST
Four Other G. o. P. Bar risters Already AvOwed
 Candidates for Post

Four Republican attorneys, with possibility that Republican Town Chairman J. Warren Upson may yet announce his candidacy for the nomination, are seeking support among delegates to the probate con- vention, to be held here Sept. B or 14, according to plan.
 Edward r. Sweeney, who ran two years ago against the veteran Dem- ocratic incumbent, Judge Dennis J. Salvin, has announced that he feels himself entitled to the nomination because of his candidacy against Judge Slavin who, on several oc- casions during the last 25 years, was endorsed by both parties for the post.
 Others seeking support are Attor- ney William w. Gager, former pub lie defender, Attorney Emil Hum mel, probation officer and former city court prosecutor; and Attor- ney George Lynch. Chairman .Upson has not made known his plans but recently added to prestige in a primary fight over the new town committee set-up and new rules and is seen in position to expect the probate judgeship nomination or another, if he desires political place this fall.
 The Republican county conven- tion is scheduled for New Haven on Sept. g or 24, according to present outlook, and will be called by Rob- ert c. Stone, of Waterbury, who is candidate for nomination as county sheriff. Reports are that Michael D. McGovern, former New Haven director of public works, is leading candidate for the nomination, how ever.

Hidden Taxes

Women in this state are banding
together with the others under the
banner Of the National Consumers
Tax Commission to Try to tear away
the mask that hides hidden taxes
from the people who pay them.
Hidden taxes are those levied dur
ing the production and distribution
of an article and passed on unknown
to the consumer in the form Of high
er prices.
Everything whether necessity or
luxury--has hidden taxes conceaed
in its price, the commission declares.
They take Ii cents Of the plice Of q
40-cent piece Of meat, is percent Of
the price Of sugar, S1.a5 Of the prize
of a $6.95 hat.
The consumer, however, pays
these taxes without knowing it-and
then wonders why the weekly pay
check does not stretch further.
The need for generally distributed
information about our complicated,
modern-day tax system is an ex-
tremely vital one. That is why the
women taking part in this consumer
campaign are performing valuable
public service, service deserving
the support Of everyone.
The mask hiding taxes from those
who pay them should come off,

Bishop Wright
Launches Preachers
College In South Africa


CAPE TOWN, South Africa (C)
Bishop r. r. Wright, Jr., presiding
over Lhe Fifteenth Episcopal District
of the A. NJ. e. Church, with head
quarters at 90 Walmer Road, has
announced the successful launching
of the Preachers Training College
at Wilberforce Institute at Evaton,
near johannesburg.
The new work represents q funda-
mental change in the policy of the
A. Nj. E. Church in South Africa.
Formerly students were sent to
America to be educated, with the aid
Of the church. Now it is planned to
educate the youth in South Africa,
but with the very best teachers the
leading American universities afford.
A year ago Bishop Wright brought
to South Africa, Prof. Amos J.
White, Of Harvard, who became
principal of Wilberforce Institute,
and since that time the Institute has
been accredited by the leading Brit
ish educational authorities.
Last winter Bishop Wright came
to America and induced Rev. ].
Roosevelt Coan of Yale, to return to
South Africa with him, to mead the
new Preachers Training College.
After giving Rev. Coan triumphal
reception from Cape Town to Viii
berforce, the training college was
opened. The course is two years,
and IS aasipned TO prepare not only
the pastor but also his wife for tho
practical work of the ministry On
the teaching staff are Prof. White,
Rev. Coan, and Rev. Levi Coppln
Cow. Lecturers are Bishop Wright,
/ Rev. j. Y. Tantsi. and Rev. r. y
Cow.

CALVIN'S DIGEST
BY FLOYD J. CALVIN
Listed by Editor &c PubIisher)

Tension Eased
War tension in Europe has been
eased by Hitler being granted his
principal demands in Czechoslovakia.
Mr.. Chamberlain Of Great Britain is
being praised as peacemaker, but
we fail to see how abject surrender
to Hitler. while it ayerted immedia Z
bloodshed, is anything to be proud
of. 1t would seem that the English
have lost all semblance Of honor and
dignity in this deal.
While war has been avoided for
the time being, it viii yet come,
more terrible than anything the
world has yet seen, and all because
this war IS being slowly cooked up
by strong nations breaking their
solemn promises and agreements
with smaller nations when it is to
the immediate advantage of the
strong nations to do so.
s4Life's" Appraisal
The panorama Of Negro life and
achievement, as presented in Life
Magazine last week, is major a.
| chievement for the Negro group
during the current year. Life's pre-
| sentation, which we are glad to say
has quality as well as quantity
serves to place before the Nation the
aspirations Of the new and higher
trained generation of Negroes. II
furnishes food for thought TO,
whites who help shape the course oi
American life, who do not know
about US and for that reason do no
care about US. 1t IS amazing, ths
number Of white people who still
think of Negroes in terms of Aun
/ Jemima, Amos n ANDY, and Unc''
Remus. It has been shocking To thi
writer to meet intelligent whit
people, some of them under 40, wh'
readily admit that their first though
on any social question affecting ;
i Negro, is to refer it to their colore'
cook, Or chauffeur. They are quit
honest about this, and profess to Sc
nothing wrong about the policy. !

journal Of the Tennessee Negro
Education Association, Prof. George
w. Gore, Jr., editor, we learn that
A monument to interracial goodwill
in Tennessee is to be erected on the
campus Of A. and /. State College.
Teachers, friends of education and
of humanity, are urged to contribute
literally to this cause.
ssThe Central Committee, headed
by DR.. R. e. Burt, of Clarksville,
has been working earnestly on the
campaign for the fall of 1898.
Thanksgiving Day has been set for
final reports from organizations,
cities and counties. The goal is
$4,000. If the citizens of both
racial groups will respond promptly
to this worthy cause. the monument
would be ready for unveiling during
the summer of 1899.
Tennessee has set the example
for the nation in interracial coop
! Grafton and achievement. A. and I.
State College is the best expression
| Of Interracial Goodwill in America.
It is fitting and proper that such .
memorial should be erected to the
unsung heroes of both races that
have worked together SO unselfishly
/ for racial amity. Likewise, it is APP
/ propriate that it should be located in
Nashville at A. and I. State College.
Negro teachers in Tennessee are
urged to rally to this worthy cause. !"
