it should be remarked that any

One distinguished southern
educator, referring to Virginius
Dabney's Atlantic N onthIy
piece, Nearer and Nearer the
Precipice, in the January issue,
which advises "colored agita-
tors" to pipe down, said: THE
trouble with Dabney and south
ern liberals like Mark Ethridge
is the way they manage to
spend so much energy and time
advising colored people to quiet
down, lest they set of a wave
Of race-riots, and fail to spend
half the energy or time trying
to point out to the white people
OF the South the need to make
the structure Of southern society
accord with the concept of a

to indicate that anything short
Of the most diligent application
OF this concept to the present
war will do.

The year Of 1913 might well
mark a turn for the better in
the life Of the colored people
of this country as well as a

ditions, although hard to face
offer an opportunity for the
colored people to participate
in the struggle for the preser-
walton Of democracy that will
place them in a position to
demand a greater share of the
same. In order to bring aaout
a peace that is beneficial, it
must be represented by a con-
tribution that is sacrifcial.
IF we ever needed unity
between ourselves, it is today.

was the appearance Of Eugenia
Stepkowska, for the past four
years the teacher. In colorful
costume she presented rogulsh
Russian number especially suit
ed to her talents.
The class dances presented by
eight girls TO open and to close
the program were both toe num-
bers, effective and smoothly
performed. Of the II soloists,
perhaps the most accomplished
was Mary Ellen Gerkey, in her
staccato toe number Cute As
Cotton" although each made
her contribution to the success
of the program with a poise and
technical ability that reflects
credit to their teacher.
The baby rhythm class with its
lone boy entranced the audience
with its cunning confusion fol-
lowed by the dance. The flower
garden number in which another
little group danced their solos
was delightful, with Arlene
Kraatz outstanding.
A charming minuet was pre-
sented by the second year group.
while two groups Of first year
students appeared in pleasing
trio numbers, and two duets
were well-done
Accompanist was Mrs Charles

Says Buried Treasure
IniriQued Farmhands

STERLING. Colo. June II -
(Pl Seven Spanish Americans
were hired by Northeastern
Colorado farmer to work in his
beet fields-and, the farmer
complained they occupied them
selves each day by digging for
treasure and each night fighting
ghosts.
The result was, said Farmer
Charles Curtis that the farm
house was nearly wrecked
Deputy Sheriff f. Nj. Brown
said he and Sheriff Frank Long
found the seven, all about II
years old, highly excited and be-
wildered. Window panes of the
house were broken, doors were
torn from their hinges and the
basement floor had been thor
oughly spaded.
Brown said he pieced togeth-
er this story from the youths.
recently brought in from Dallas,
Texas:
They heard what they describ-
ed as weird noises-doors Slam
ming, floors creaking and the
over door falling open. One
youth thought he saw something
at the window and heaved a
shore through the pane al the
ghost.
Thereupon all the youths
thought the, saw ghosts stand
ing at the windows or oozing
through the door. And deciding
that where there were spirits
there must be buried treasure,
the youth proceeded TO dig up
the basement.

Port Huron. Mich. and they are
defying the right of individuals
to aid in the war effort.
Hoffman read TO the House
part OF a telegram from "Cour-
ageous Editor of that city"
Attorneys for the retail
grocers here have applied to the
circuit court for temporary in
junction restraining the team
sters union, Morris Coleman, and
certain other union officers from
picketing, boycotting and inter-
fering with the grocery business
by cutting off delivery of food,
meat and other items. The petit
ton for the injunction sets forth
that these acts by the teamsterS
union are damaging the public
health and welfare of the city
of Port Huron. The court this
morning granted temporary
injunction following along the
line requested and an order to
show cause on permanent in
junction setting the hearing for
next Monday morning
Again in Port Huron there is
a milk strike on. You may re-
call that some time ago your at
tention was called to the fact
that men convicted of criminal
offense, but hiding behind la
Dor unions, were driving auto
mobiles on rationed gasoline and
rationed tires from Detroit to
Port Huron where they follow
ed the conVeyanceS driven by
non-union men used to deliver
milk to customers about the
streets of that city and interfered
with their customers, in an eff
fort TO compel the non-union
drivers to stand and deliver a
portion of their wages to the
union racketeers. There was an
investigation but the unlawful
activities of these so-called union
racketeers has been renewed.
According TO another wire
which reads as follows:
Labor goons again at work
in Port Huron. No action from
War Labor Board. Food shortage
threatened here as results of
transfers boycott on grocery
stores handling milk supplies of
black listed diaries Situation
serious for our community. Can't
you help us stop these out
laWs?'"
The congressman continued:
when there is throughout the
east shortage of gasoline,
when under our constitution
men have the right TO join or not
to join a union, when under that
same constitution protection of
property is guaranteed, when we
are spending billions upon bill
lions of dollars and sacrificing
the lives of thousands of men to
carry freedom from want and
freedom from fear to all the peo-
Piles Of the world, why should
this administration extend pro-
lection or fail to prosecute those
who, here in America, to be spe-
cific, in Michigan - in Port
Huron - are being exploited by
the political allies of this adj
ministration? What excuse is
there for permitting the use of
rationed tires and ratloned gas
oline by those who are insisting
that loyalty to the union is more
important than loyalty to the
government?
The President Of the United
States, who is so fond Of calling
himself commander in chief, has
ordered our ciVilions to work
and produce. Now comes the.
union organizers and add a pro-
viso to that order. which is that
citizens shall work and produce
for the benefit of the armed
forces when, and only when,
they become members of a
union
