A PLEASING RECORD Fist University has been successful in raising an endowment fund of $1,000,000.; This is not a large endowment, but unique in that it is the first negro university to. acquire anything re motely approximating such a sum.1 The school which started its career in an abandoned army barrf cks in Nashville almost sixty years ago is now a; full fledged university, giving to those who matriculate a thorough collegiate education.- Both Columbia and Chicago universities admit its students and give them the same rating on their credentials as, they dot white students who transfer from old established institutions of learning But the most pleasant news of jail is that the white citizens of Nashville donated a supplementary sum of $50,000, to be used toward the teachers' salaries ! ; For such a thing would not have been possible a few years ago; ? . , - It reveals a kindlier spirit slovfly making itself felt in the South; Taken in conjunction with the news that lynching is falling off below the Mason and Dixjon line, it leads the impartial . observer to hope that the time is riojt far distant when the better elements of both races can get together and work out a scheme for living harmoniously as neighbor. ! - The negro is essential to the South as a laborer, and, in ad dition, he has many talents that would make him a valuable adjunct to society if he were properly trained. , There is room for each of the two races in its especial niche, and. think as we may, or do as we will, we. hare the negro with us in this country : r , j I : ' . Every tenth man, woman and jchild in continental United States is a negro ' - - j ! Just as every tenth man, woman and child in the whole of the United States, including our island possessions, is brown, or shaded from a light brown to a coal black, as the Negritos of the Philippine Islands. . 1 U So we are eight whites under! our flag j to two blacks or browns, and we must make the best jof it. We are doing wonders in. the Philippines in bringing the peoples of those islands into fj: 5-blessings of civilization and education; and the people there k redding wonder$ in 'responding. lj The per ! capita number of i'Jflren in Manila n the public schools is larger than in Boston. 1 'ere are more races and. more .languages and dialects in the i ;5iippines, amon the 10,000,000 iihabitanta under the egis of tie Stars and Stripes than in the continent of Europe; and yet ley are all learning the English, language in the public schools, ..:1 .they, are thinking largely the thoughts of our children in "cuir public school here. ! J ; ' .In the final analysis, it "will . be found that the state school fund has not lost a single cent through its loans to the farmers of. Oregon, secured by -mortgages on their lands. We passed through this same kind of a hue and cry about twenty years ago, and there were ' numerous foreclosures. And after the smoke was all cleared away it was found that there had been no losses. It will be the same this time The farmers who get the use of the money at 6 per cent are paying less than they would have' to pay lelsewhere," on the average. So they receive the benefit of a saving to them." The state school fund gets more for its money, for the benefit of thejpublic schools of the state, than it would receive for it in any j other way. So there is a ( benefit both ways- That; is the right wayi' The man who is a bear on the farmers of Oregon'is following a mistaken idea. He H wrong ; and he is slandering the people who support all of us the: last toother's son of us.. BEST SUGAR - . - . , r-,;-(Daily Growers Telegram.) y - - : . Growers of sugar beets are worried at the attitude of Senator LaFollette toward the tariff on sugar. jThe sugar beet section of Min nesota Is actively fighting the senator's presidential candidacy because he, with-other members of the tariff commission, has recommended to the. president a reduction In the Cuban! sugar tariff. V It seems that one-fourth of the sugar consumed In the United States la raised here at home, and three-fourths comes from Cuba. The argument of the beet growers is that lowering the tariff would temporarily reduce the price of sugar to consumers and automatically put the beet growers out of business, after which the Sugar importing - octopus would put the price up to its heart's content. Which doesn't sound unreasonable.; Manifestly if the wheat grower derives any profit by a tariff on Canadian wheat, the beei growers should profit in the aame. way by an import duty on Cuban sugar that will protect the beet -, raisers of our western area. : ; -V;': - We believe it was G rover Cleveland. who said "the tariff is a local. Issue." which is a true and correct; designation. Nevertheless, a cition Is made up of local issues, the sum total of which local issues snprises the nation's business, and the prosperity of the nation Crpend on the prosperity of the various local Industries.' If foreign ?ods,. made cheaper or. produced cheaper than they can be made or rrriuced Jjere at home, compete disastrously with our home products r-e or produced in accordance- with ai higher brand of civilization, it is the duty of the nation to protect the f local Issues" for the general .geod of the whole country- If we let foreign goods put our growers er.1 producers out of business, . the whole fabric of our Institution will crumble. -: - . -,- - . .. '"-.- There are thousands of acres of sugar beets grown In the Kansas City district, and without any thought jof politics or of the interest of any candidate the Telegram desires! to say that the sugar beet ' growers are contributing Just as much to society and the nation's welf are as are the wheat growers or the hide growers or the beefsteak growers, and deserve Just the same degree of protection as ny other industry; . . . j . .. . ' But that isn't all.. There Is a good deal of talk about monopo- lie. There Is no way to curb such combines except by competition. To reduce the sugar tariff would be playing Into the hands of the sugar importers because beet production! would thereby be minimized. And it does seem strange that so-called opponents of the sugar trust , fall to see that removing from market competition the product of the "local issue' will put complete control oi the price In the hands of the trust that owns or controls all the other) sugar that is available. MR. GXLX3 IS RIGHT ,ia his address before the Ki wanlsj club -Tuesday, II. s. Gile protested against the flippant way r nines were associated with board I louses. TTtethep we realize it ' . 1 . . Manarer i . Kditor . Meaefer Job lpt. MS 106 Owrgom. aa eecond-claae matter PROTECTION or not that has worked a . great detriment to : prunes." There; are a good many : people over r the country who smile every time you speak of prunes and refer to boarding houses. , Mr. Gile stated thati the .prune -was really the aristocrat of the fruits, and he is right about It. --' -- The people of Salem should be the last ones to be flippant about the prune., It means a lot to us to have them admitted to " good society. The prune belongs on the best supported tables of the country and It is every man's duty to discourage these foolish Jokes that get the prune in bad. I ' Wei heartily agree with Mr. Gile's protest and endorse it em phatically., I "BEET SUGAR IS. SAFE President Coolidge Is not to be taken off his feet by irresponsible clamor. He is not going to re duce the sugar tariff and kill the beet sugar industry. La Follette. who la sloshing around, doing everything to get a vote, is de manding the killing of this great industry, but calm, dignified, far seeing President Coolidge is going to protect an . industry already great but which promises as well as any industry America has ever undertaken. The beet sugar in dustry is in its Infancy, but It will continue to grow ; unless, choked out by legislation. ! BORAH'S POSITION Senator Borah takes a very sen sible position, t He Is a progress ive, but finds a way to progress through the republican party. He declares that there has never been a man in the White House with more courage than Coolidge. The public knows this is true. Coolidge is calm -and deliberate, but he is strong. . Senator Borah is also op posed to clipping the wings of the supreme court. He sees the dan ger of it. A great many progressive re publicans who are very thorough ly committed to the progressive policies of the country as enunci ated by Roosevelt are supporting Coolidge. They see In Coolidge the man who can carry out their desires and a' man who has the courage to do so. v f i WHEELER HELPS A good friend asked the other day why the republicans did not reply to the charges of Senator Wheeler. We gave our answer, and now the national organization has given a similar answer. In bothj bases the answer was that Wheeler j was helping the republi cans! ' He Is. : 1 ' i : : I It is too much to say that the American people are not able to make values. . They are.; They may be temporarily deluded but they are going to learn the truth and when they learn the , truth they are going to vote it, i Wheeler Is talking so loudly and making such foolish charges that they carry with them their own condemnation. i ! 3IACDOXALD FELL .V England had a minority gov ernment. The labor government neverf had a fair chance. ; Mac Donald was selected as premier with only about one-third of par liament back of him. There never was a moment that the majority was true to him. He went ahead and did the best he could. He had no chance to make . policies, no chance to win a record for his party; . Premier MacDonald was not tactfulJc)Je" should have refrained from offending his co-workers al though the alliance was tempor ary.. He should not have sprung things upon them that angered them.: He should have used diplo macy and placated them whenever possible. His record as premier has not been brilliant and it has not been successful. : i AN OLD TRICK V La i Follette and his supporters are crying loudly about the slush fund.; It harks back to 1908. Al ton B. Parker was the democratic candidate then and when he found himself slipping on all sldes in stead of throwing up his hands and going with the crowd he com menced talking about a slush There is no more to it now than there was then. It will have no more effect than It did then. It is a cheap trick; to charge the other party with using money, but the trick is as old as politics. Probably at first it was effective. but it has been discredited so long that how nobody pays any atten tion to It. TWO GENERALS A. French general and a German general, speaking from the same platform. : announced ' that they were both pacifists. They declar ed the only way to end war was to .disarm. That is further than we have gone in America, but it is in line with the sentiment gen erally held by the people. War Is wicked and the people of Ameri ca would be mighty hard to arouse to fight another one. .. i II R I AGE Adele Ganiewna ivew Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Copyright by Newspaper Feature Sarvlca CHAPTER 287 ; THET SOUND fTHAT. CAME THROUGH !tHE SIDE " ' I DOOR." ' - ': ' e - I i - . . ' Ready, Madge;?" ! Lillian's low-ioned summons from outside my door brought me to my feet tensely. I had dressed as she requested an hour before, and since then jiad been sitting at the window 'watehing the twi light fade Into darkness, and wait ing -the hardest thing in the world to do. I crossed the room eagerly, opened the door, and an swered softly: s : "All ready!" j J The light of the hall was strong upon my face. Lillian glanced at me keenly, then put out her hand and drew me toward her, giving me a little shake. ' "You're taut as a fiddle wire." she said. "Come out of it. We may not have any action for hours yet, and if you don't relax a bit. the wire's likely to snap. Besides, we want you for a hand at bridge, and if you draw I Alien as a part ner, you know he's absolutely mer ciless on errors, f So you'd better get ready to mind your p's and Q's." ; i. ' "Bridge game," j I ' repeated vaguely. Lillian often surprises me, but this casual announcement sent my mental J wheels spinning madly. I had been prepared to crouch in a darkened room wait ing for the appearance of the des perate man. Smith. 'But this com monplace proposal-- Lillian laughed softly, merrily, and I felt the needed relaxation comi to me with the familiar sound. i ; "It is rather ai come-down. Isn't it?" she asked teaslngly. "But I don't know anything better for taking our minds off Mr. Smith until the minute when we have to occupy them entirely with the dear man. Do ypu?' "How Will You J Know?" ' , "No, indeed," ahswered, for i knew by experience that three more enthusiastic bridge devotees do not exist than my father, Allan Drake and Lillian. t - The only reason I like the game is because it gives me the chance to exercise the memory which has proved, so useful" to me. but' I; al ways feel distinctly out of it in such able company, never more so than when I have Allen Drake as a partner. With but an occasion al, apparently casual word, which, nevertheless, raises a blister upon one's mental epidermis, or a lan guid, inquiring lift of his lopg. womanish lashes, he Is able to make me thoroughly uncomfort able, and, if I possibly can get out of it, I never engage in the game when he is one of the players,-If Lillian had planned: to give me a counter-irritant iori the. nervous ness-over Smith? which was con suming me, she? could not have made a better sf lection.. . Don't look soi frightened' she laughed. "I'll see that Allen doesn't eat you alive." "But," I protested, breaking my rule of asking no questions con cerning Lillian's plans, 'how will you know vheri Smith, is - start ing?" - j j . ; The Signal is Given.' "We're taking fno chances, child," she said soberly. "It is absolutely vital "that we know what he is doing; every step of the way, and under Allen's directions. Tom Chester has arranged the nif tiest system of signals you would ever want to seeJ - Mr. Briggs .will start the thing fwhen Mr. Smith displays symptoms bt leaving the house and from that time until we purposely let him go, he'll never be very many feet; from one of young Chester's men. So there's nothing for us to do but wait for that first signal.! Come along, put your mind upon ithe. many advan tages of a no-trump hand. You know that's Allen's pet hand if you should draw him aa a partner, and I feel it in i my bones you're going to get hlni." ' i' Then I fervently hope your bones have lost their power .of prophesy for oncp," I said earnest ly, and the next; minute we were in the library and greeting my father and Allen! Drake, who were already comfortably, seated behind the bridge table.! My nope was .useless, however, and Lillian's prophesy fulfilled, for the cut of the cards consigned me to Mr. Drake for a game which to me seemed interminable. I could not keep my mind upon the cards, but felt ft nervous fellow ship with Katie, Jwho was attempt ing to knit In a corner of the room, but who, from, her facial contor tions, and low. Impatient mutter lngs. was patently dropping stitch es as fast as she knitted them. I knew that Lillian had told her to sit in the room-, with us because she feared the effect of solitude upon the girl'a nerves, and though she appeared to be absorbed in her game, yet I saw that she waa cov ertly watcbins Katie,; determining PROBLEMS What woul'd be the best methodlTtfV handling her. - , .uc. ! And then, setting the nerves of every -one of us a-qulver, there came a low tapping upon the side door, which I guessed was the ex pected signal. . , (To be continued) DDIS DEPLORES Move to Give Congress Pow er ,to i Overrule -Court v Hff By Speaker , Both the vitals of the country and the; economic foundation of the government are threatened at present, according to E. J. Adams, private secretary to United States Senator Robert N. Stanfield. who spoke to the Rotarians Wednesday. The measures to which the speak er referred was an effort to "Junk the constitution" j by delegating power to congress to overrule and pass a law after the supreme court had held j it unconstitutional and the government ownership of rail roads, i": ; x j ; ' f , " y The west will be hopelessly lost regarding-; representation If con gress should be given such power, Mr. Adams held; pointing out that the 22 states west of the Missis sippi , have but 131. members in congress .while the 26 states to the east of this boundary have 304 members. ; "A government cannot operate or conduct any business that de mands initiative and executive ability," Mr. Adams said. "There is not a single city in the country that has been able to operate suc cessfully and maintain its own street car system, t In View of this can you imagine the government operating a vast transportation system involving ' 2,000,000 em lioyes? The loss in money cannot be compared to the loss in effici ency and service. There would be no reduction In freight rates, and only an Increase of operating costs and wage scaled for with the railroads in politics the vast vot ing power of the employes would always be considered." . Among .'the points emphasized by the speaker were that purchase of the railroads would be the first step, involving the : purchase of stock now held by between two and three million people; the ap praised valuation : of the present systems Is $20,000,000,000; vast sums would.be removed from the tax rolls and placed as an ad ditional burden upon the taxpay ers. Mrj Adams ; said that the railroads j at present contribute $3,000,000 in taxes in Oregon and that in Marion county alone 7.7 per cent of the . taxes were paid by the railroads and that in other counties the rate was much higher. Included In the disadvantages were the organization of a separ ate department, with the director of railroads as a cabinet member; extensions could only be made through political pressure; red tape would cripple service; em ployes would be under civil serv Ice, " which would detract from their efficiency,; and numerous other gloomy aspects.

By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur Compound," you will get a large bottle of this bid-time re cipe. Improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, at very little cost. This sim ple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. T A well ' known downtown drug gist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so ; naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied It's so easy to use, too. ; ' You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time.
